Chapter 25 - Catch me if you can!

In London :

The helicopter stops at the helipad of the Prime Minister's residence. Elliot is very tired of everything happening. Mr. Smith takes him and enters the building. Upon entering the residence Elliot realizes that everyone is looking at him. He can hear them talking about Edward's death and other stuff. Smith takes him towards a small room and pushes him in. "Wait here till the Prime Minister arrives." he orders and locks the door from outside. The room is not very decorated and has one bed only. To Elliot it feels like a prison. He sits on the bed and waits.

An hour later.

The door opens and Elliot immediately looks at it. "The Prime Minister wants to see you." one of the guards says. Elliot stands up and follows the guards. They enter the Prime Minister's office. Elliot stands in the middle. There are other ministers too and all of them are staring at him. The Prime Minister Joseph Middleston is sitting on his chair. "Now whatever question I ask you, answer it with honesty." Smith says. Elliot nods. He feels very humiliated by all this but he has no choice. "What was this locket of yours doing at Edward's farm house?" Smith shows the locket. Elliot stays quiet. "Nothing will happen by remaining silent. So, answer the question I asked!" Smith yells. Everyone looks at him and whispers something. "He... he took me there!" Elliot says finally. Joseph looks at him with a deadly expression. "For what reason?" Smith asks again. "He tri.. he tried to force me!" Elliot replies. Hearing this, Joseph stands up from his chair in anger. "How easy it is to say false things about a dead person, isn't?" he says. "Sir, I know he was your son but trust me I'm not lying." Elliot says back. "Just shut up!" Joseph shouts.

"Look, we all know and understand that Edward was very fond of all these things. But till date none of his one-night stands have had the courage to raise their voice in front of him. But you. You literally killed him!!" Smith yells. Elliot remains silent. He wants to defend himself but he fears that after knowing the truth, these people may do something bad to Marco. "If you were so greedy for money then you would have come and told me. I would have given you the given asking price. What was the need to kill my son?" Joseph yells.

Elliot shakes his head. Tears start forming in his eyes. "Only I know what he did that night. Sadly, you people will never understand this because it doesn't make much difference to you. Only the one who endures can understand." he says.

"Your victim card will not work here. Nor will you get any sympathy." Smith says. He approaches Elliot. "So quietly accept that yes, you are the one who murdered Edward. Otherwise something worse could happen to you than what happened that night!" he growls. Hearing this, Elliot gets nervous and looks at him. "Do you understand what I'm saying?" Smith says.

"If you take even one step forward, I will cut off your head and put it in your hand!" A murderous voice comes from behind. Everyone turns around and sees someone is standing there. He is none other than Marco himself. Everyone gets shocked and as well as scared to see him like this. Smith steps back and looks at Joseph. Marco walks slowly and stands next to Elliot. His bodyguards stands his behind, everyone has a gun in their hands. Marco holds Elliot's hand tightly. Elliot takes a breath of relief seeing his fiance next to him.

"What are you doing here Marco?" Smith asks. "Strange! You will bring my fiance here by force and I will sit at home and play Ludo?" Marco replies. "Do you even know who you're talking to?" Smith shouts. Marco looks at him and laughs. "Yes, I know. I'm talking to a street dog who neither belongs at home nor on the pier." he replies. Everyone gasps hearing the savage reply from Marco. "How dare you talk to me like that?" Smith shouts. "Keep your volume down! Otherwise I will take away your soul along with your tongue!" Marco shouts back. Smith gulps and looks at Joseph. Elliot stays silent and watches everything. "Anyways, I heard that Edward's murder case is being solved here? Well, let me help you." Marco approaches Joseph. "For your kind information our honourable Prime Minister. Yes, I'm the one who killed your son!" he confesses. Elliot looks at him with fear in his eyes.

"What! You? Why?" Joseph shivers in anger. "He forced himself on my Elliot, that's why I killed him!" Marco says. "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Joseph yells. "So, what do I do? It's your problem." Marco says back. Joseph is too stunned to speak. "There is only one rule of my life. As soon as someone looks at my family with evil eyes, I'll kill him! I can't sit wearing bangles like you guys." Marco says. "Oh God please save him!" Elliot mumbles. "Marco, calm down okay? If sir orders you to be killed, tell me where you will hide?" Smith asks. "राजा, तुह्ये साहव होणार नाही. ठीक‌ आहे? म्हणून तू गप्प बस! (Your sir will not do anything, okay? Therefore you remain silent!)" Marco replies. "What? What are you saying?" Smith gets confuse. "I said, keep your mouth shut!" Marco replies.

"What do you want?" Joseph asks. Marco looks at him and takes out his phone. "Watch this." he shows a video to him. It's the CCTV footage from the shopping mall, where it is clearly visible that Edward is forcefully taking Elliot out of the mall. "Now listen to me. If any drama happens again, I will make this video viral myself. Then I will see how you praise your son in front of the world." Marco says. Joseph doesn't react. Marco looks at Elliot. "It's time to go baby." he says. He takes his hand and leaves the place. "Why did you let both of them go?" Smith asks. "Let them go Jeremy. You don't know Marco, if he loses his mind, there will be dead bodies scattered here! But don't worry I'll find a way very soon." Joseph replies.

Marco and Elliot get up in their private helicopter. Antony gets up next. Elliot sits on the window side and Marco sits next to him. The pilot starts the chopper. "Are you okay?" Marco asks. "Yes. I'm fine. But you literally gave me a heart attack!" Elliot replies. Marco laughs and kisses his hand. "Don't laugh okay? You scared me!" Elliot says. "Okay I'm sorry." Marco holds his ears and pouts. Elliot rolls his eyes. "By the way, why weren't you picking up the phone? Sebastian said your phone was out of network. Where did you go?" he asks. "I went on a date with a dinosaur." Marco smirks. Elliot sighs. "Here my condition was getting worse and you are thinking of a joke?" he scolds him. "Okay I'm sorry baby. I won't do that again." Marco apologies. Elliot rests his head on Marco's shoulder. "If I found out you actually went on a date with a dinosaur and his name is Sam, I swear I will cut off your weapon!" he says.

Marco blinks his eyes. "You got me?" Elliot looks at him. "Yes my darling. And by the way you look so cute when you are jealous." Marco teases. Elliot punches his belly and laughs. "I love you." he says. "I love you in every universe." Marco says back. They laugh and within a few minutes Elliot falls asleep.
