Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 377

Jared left Maggie to herself and went to inspect what had happened at the warehouse. Although almost everybody had made it out safe, he was not sure if anybody was trapped inside, not that he cared about them. He was more curious about the explosion that had taken place out of nowhere. 'It has to be someone from the gang.'
Jared had scrutinized the area outside the warehouse and he could not find or sense anybody else's presence. He gritted his teeth and snapped his fingers at his men who were waiting for his next orders.
"Check the premises thoroughly. I want to know who was brave enough to provoke me." He instructed and made his way inside. 'I don't trust anybody among these idiots. I need to find out myself.' Jared's assistant had already informed him about his Godfather being escorted back to his mansion safely. 'At least, that old man is not a nuisance now.' He sighed and walked inside.
'The explosion is not that huge and it did not have much impact on anybody.' Jared observed the place and tried to come up with possible conclusions. Other than small bricks and debris that had fallen off at the corners and the broken glass panes and windows, not much damage had been done to the warehouse. 'What the fuck is this?' He wondered and made his way towards the quarters where his men stayed.
The ground floor was perfectly intact, he could find nothing suspicious. He could find nothing on the next floor too. However, the destruction was comparatively more and a pillar had rolled to the floor. The roof too seemed to have cracked. But what made him curse out loud was the state of his weapons and devices.
"Fuck. I am going to fucking kill the man responsible for this." He roared as he picked up the laptop that was now lying in pieces. Although the laptop was not expensive for him, the information it held was quite useful and it had taken him a lot of time, to retrieve them. Moreover, the problem was that he did not have a backup. 'Now, I will have to collect them again. Damn it.'

Jared threw the damaged laptop to the ground and searched the floor thoroughly. Seeing his furious expression, none of his men dared to approach him lest he should shoot them in anger. They were yet to come out of the trauma they had faced a few minutes ago. Jared's evil game had made men want to flee for their lives and many among them were secretly happy for the disturbance.
However, they also knew that the outcome when everything settled would not be favorable for them. Jared would definitely unleash his wrath on them and the number of people who were going to die would be more than they could even imagine. Just the thought of it was enough to make the men gulp and shiver in terror.
Oblivious to what his men were thinking, Jared continued to look around and when he could not find anything else on the first floor, he went to the next floor. "Could it be?" He muttered and made his way towards his floor. Jared had an apartment for himself on the second floor, where he would stay temporarily at times when he had a workload to deal with.
'Nobody other than my assistant dares to enter the floor without my permission. I am sure there is nothin....' Jared stopped in his track when he saw the condition of the floor. Everything was a mess and unlike the other two floors where he could at least walk around, the second floor was completely destroyed. Being the last floor, the entire roof had collapsed and there was no space for him to even squeeze through. His apartment was completely wrecked.
For the first time ever, Jared was dumbstruck with what he was seeing. He could not comprehend the head or tail of the situation. 'The explosion was from my apartment. How..How?' He stood frozen in his spot. He did not even realize the presence of another human in his muddled state.

A few minutes after Jared had left her alone, Maggie had followed him closely. She wanted to know how far he would be successful in finding out the culprit for the day's event, although she was certain that the probability of it was zero. She had been careful in her ploy and even if people tried to trace back to the culprit, they would not be able to reach her. She smirked seeing the state the floor was in.
'Thank you, Valarie, for giving me the bomb.' Maggie took her sweet time in taking in the shocked expression on Jared's face. 'He gets shocked too? That's a first.' She thought and folded her hands enjoying the predicament the man was in. Maggie was sure that nobody would dare to enter the floor, especially after knowing how exasperated Jared was right now. So, they did not hide how she was feeling after wrecking the man's place.
Taking a deep breath and darting a bored look, she rolled her eyes. 'How long are you going to stand like a mannequin? I guess it's time for me to make an entrance.' Wiping the smirk off her face, she donned an innocent look and stood beside Jared. "Damn, what the hell is this?"
The sudden noise brought Jared out of his reverie and he blinked, running his eyes everywhere. "The man sure is smart to have planted the bomb in my apartment and seeing the condition of the floor, we might not be able to find anything here." Jared sighed. "However, that does not mean the man can escape unscathed. I'll make sure that he will get a death so horrible, he will kill himself for provoking me."
"Maggie, can you check the surveillance on this floor? I am sure you can find something." Jared ordered and tried to find space to make way, but he couldn't. "Vipers," He barked and immediately after, four men appeared before him. "Clean this floor as fast as possible. I need to find where exactly the explosion took place." Jared instructed and the men got to work at once.
"And you," Jared faced Maggie, his frown not leaving his forehead. "Try to track the man behind this as soon as possible."
"I am on it," Maggie replied monotonously and left the floor after giving one last look at it. 'Try as you may, but you will never find the person behind the blast.'
