I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 74: Step away with your guards
Raymond immediately charged into the house, in the name of finding his lover.
He summoned his guards to join in the search, disregarding the fact that this was the Stein’s family house, there was a banquet going on and his actions would be perceived as disrespectful.
"What sort of nonsense are you doing?" Yara yelled at him and everyone murmured but he did not take head and simply walked towards her with a threatening face.
"If anything happens to my girl, I will burn this family down." He dared.
"Preposterous!" Philip exclaimed with a loud and angry tone. "How dare you act so arrogant and mannerless because of a single girl?"
"I don’t know." Raymond said, taking off his coat. "I was never taught to have manners." He said and tossed his coat aside, walking past them without a single care.
His eyes fell on Serena who smirked and this set a boding feeling in him.
Skylar and Paige were still present and seeing this commotion, they approached Raymond.
"What’s going on?" They asked.
"I can’t find her. They must’ve taken her." Raymond vaguely answered.
"What? How come?" Paige looked shocked. "Wasn’t she with you?"
"I didn’t go out with her, dammit." Raymond shoved his hand in his hair as he strode through the halls with them behind him.
He needed to find Ariel. He needed to find her before anything went wrong. Then he paused.
Her phone was with her so he could just call her. Maybe this was a false alarm and he hoped it was.
Stopping in his tracks, he dialed her number and impatiently waited for her to pick up.
In the room where Theo and Leo had taken Ariel to, they tied her hands and legs to the bed.
"Don’t do this." Ariel said. "You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into."
"Oh? But we aren’t going to do anything but ’discipline’ you." Leo said with a mocking smirk on his lips. "Why? Do you want us to do something else? I can do anything."
"Are they there?" Theo asked and Leo looked up, nodding his head. There was a drawer at the side which contained the ’discipline’ tools.
Just then, Ariel’s phone started ringing and the boys started looking round, wondering where the ringing was coming from.
Ariel shut her eyes. She had her phone with her the whole time but couldn’t find the chance to call for help and now they were going to take it from her.
"Here it is." Leo said, ripping the skirt of Ariel’s dress. The phone had been strapped to her thigh the whole time. "Wow, that’s smart. Did that bastard tell you to do this?"
She gritted her teeth. What was she going to do now?
Theo took the phone from Leo.
"Aren’t you guys too old to be playing this type of joke? You should act more mature than this." Ariel lectured them with no hope of getting through to them.
"Really? Well, I like acting like this. Why do I have to pretend to be mature when I’m having fun?" They both snickered and to Ariel’s surprise, Theo answered the call.
Raymond heard the phone click and his expectations rose but as soon as he heard That voice, his face turned grim.
"What a lovable lover you are." Theo said.
"Where is Ariel?" Raymond’s low, demanding voice filled with sheer anger almost sent shivers to all those who were behind and beside him.
"We’re playing with her for a bit. Don’t worry, we’ll return her to you once we’re done. After all, we always made sure to return to you what belonged to you." Theo said and laughed.
He walked up to Ariel and grabbed her chin.
"Let go." Ariel tried to shake his hand off and all of a sudden, he kissed her. He made sure to smack his lips on hers so that the sound would get to Raymond and it did.
Raymond’s grip on his phone tightened as his blood boiled and his phone cracked.
"Where are you?" His voice thundered and the brothers laughed more.
"Try to find out. But take your time, she’s so pretty we want to play with her some more..." The phone successfully shattered and Raymond’s hand bled.
White immediately handed him a hanky but that was the least of Raymond’s worries.
"White," he called.
"Yes, master?"
"Lead the way to that room." He said and White went silent. If it was ’that’ room then he knew the way clearly.
But before they could take a step, a number of guards blocked their way with their bodies.
"I will not have you create a ruckus in my home." Philip spoke up, walking out of the midst of the guards.
"Your ’home’ has to vomit my stuff before I consider that." Raymond said, his eyes blazing with fire. The thought of Ariel getting defiled by monsters like that completely angered him and he was ready to rip apart anyone who stood in his way. Even if it meant he was going to wage an unprepared war with the Steins.
"Step away with your guards." Paige said, stepping forward.
"This is a family matter so pardon me if I do not heed to those words." Philip said, his head in the air with confidence.
Truly, it was not accepted for outsiders to intervene in a family matter such as this. So he was confident they would leave their affair and not interfere.
"Like you said," Skylar stepped out. "It is a family matter. And a member of our family is currently missing in this household."
Raymond looked at the both of them. They hadn’t gotten Ariel’s consent yet they were already revealing her identity.
Though, at this moment, it didn’t matter. Ariel’s safety came first and if putting a strong family behind her would keep her safe, even if it was unwanted, he would do it. As long as she was safe. As long as she came out safely. As long as she... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"What are you talking about? As far as I know, only you both came to this house." Philip said.
"Well, yeah. We’re direct descendants but our cousin is right here." Skylar said.
"Who...?" Philip paused in his words. He seemed to have caught on to who that cousin was before being told.
It wasn’t possible though. He already had Ariel investigated and he didn’t see anything about her having relations with the Winston family. They were joking.
"Are you just saying this so you can interfere?" He asked, his grip tightening the head of his cane.
"No, this is a serious matter. If you do not let us search for her, this matter will definitely blow up and you will not be able to handle the fury of our family." Paige threatened seriously and folded her arms
Philip didn’t feel good about getting on the bad side of the Winston family but he also didn’t like the fact that all this might be a plot and he would get fooled by ’children’.
He stomped his cane to the ground. Whatever it was, it was better to be treated as a fool than to go against such a powerful family.
"Stand down." He said and the guards immediately cleared the path.
Raymond walked past them briskly, Paige, Skylar and White followed after him. His guards followed steadily from behind.
Philip watched them, his grip tightening more and he gritted his teeth. If Raymond managed to make connections with Winston, that would be really bad.
White led them to the ’that’ room. It was far from all the rooms and was in a very obvious, yet oblivious location.
But by the time they opened the door, they found no one. All that were seen were pieces of Ariel’s dress and her shoes.
Raymond’s grip tightened and he punched the wall. He turned around and to the guards, he ordered,
"Turn this whole place upside down till you find her." They immediately took the orders and spread out.
Paige and Skylar watched Raymond’s veins crawling up his neck to his head. He looked really pissed. They could tell he cared for her this much.
"You grew up in this house, didn’t you?" Skylar asked him and Raymond’s furious eyes darted to his direction. "Shouldn’t you know where they would take her?"
Raymond was silent. He closed his eyes and searched his memories. The place they loved to torture him. His eyes shot open and he quickly rushed out.
They made sure to follow him without asking questions. Paige stayed behind and decided to do a little investigation.

"Stop or we’ll snap her neck." Theo said, his hand gripping on Ariel’s neck. They both looked fearless and were very confident that they would be able to get away with this. "If you don’t want her anymore, you can try to attack us and we’ll end her before you get to us but if you do want her, watch us fuck her in front of you. That’s the only way she’ll be able to make it."
***************
"Fine."
"What?" They exclaimed in shock.
"But, you can only do it while I’m holding on to her." He said. "You can do whatever you want with her but I want to be the one to hold her."
