"Rachel, do you even know how dangerous this place is?" James scolded his granddaughter who was acting carelessly.

"How will I know grandpa as you never brought me here before?" Rachel seriously questioned her grandpa and he recollected the day when she was angry with them and he calmed down as he was scared of her.

​​

"Jessica, if you don't mind, spend some time in the garden, it is not appropriate for you to come in" Rachel advised her and Jessica didn't mind so she went to the garden area.

Rachel, Daniel, Patrick, James, Anthony and Michael went inside the bungalow.

It was Rachel's first time seeing this place and she was seriously observing everything.

One man walked towards them and led them to some room.

Daniel held her hand and rubbed her palm with his thumb, trying to assure her to not get scared.

The six people were then led to one big room where Frank was tied to the chair.

Rachel was surprised to see his state, the strong and perfect man who had muscular body, now looked weak and pale.

There were wounds on his body and he was looking down at the floor as if he was lost in some deep thoughts.

She tightly held Daniel's hand and he could see she was disturbed by the sight in front of her.

"You don't need to stay here, you can go downstairs if you want" He whispered to her.

"No, I want to stay" Rachel insisted and Daniel accepted her decision.

Patrick walked towards Frank and said, "James Richardson is here just like you requested"

Then Patrick moved to a side and James stepped in front of Frank.

Frank lifted his head and looked at James, he smirked at him, the wounds on his face made him look scary and his smile was creepy.

"Who asked you to attack Rachel?" James questioned him, the aura around James was changed, the sweet grandpa now looked scary.

Even, Rachel felt chill pass through her.

"Why should I tell you?" Frank arrogantly asked him.

"Who is behind all these attacks?" James ignored his arrogance and questioned him.

"Someone so powerful that you guys can't do anything to them" Frank looked down on James.

But no one present there was offended as this behavior from Frank was expected.

"That is our problem, you don't need to bother yourself about it. Just tell us who is behind these attacks?" Anthony stepped forward.

"As if I am going to." Frank taunted them.

"Rachel, can you go out for a few minutes, please?" Patrick requested her as he planned to use violence against Frank but knew Rachel won't be able to take it.

"It's okay, I am not as weak as you think I am" Rachel coldly replied.

Daniel patted her on the head and stepped towards Frank.

Rachel was confused and so were the other four men as they all thought Patrick would be the one using his ways to get the information.

Daniel forwarded his hand in front of Patrick who placed a pocket knife in his hand.

Daniel stepped towards Frank, who was not scared at all as he was confident these people won't kill him.

They needed the most important information which only he had.

The driver who attacked on Rachel in Italy was just a small time criminal hired by them, the actual mastermind behind this attack was Frank, so only he knew the people who were behind all of this.

The driver really had no idea about any of it.

So, if they want to protect Rachel then they have to know who is behind these attacks, who is hell bent on killing her. This information can only be provided by Frank, so they can't kill him.

Frank was aware of it so he was fearless.

Daniel stepped towards Frank and bent down, he clutched Frank's hair and pulled his face back harshly, which was not expected by anyone and they were all surprised.

"Ahh" Frank grunted in pain as Daniel's hold was very rough and when he pulled his head back with a jerk, his neck hurt.

In that moment, the gentle and Daniel was gone and he looked cold and scary, no one except for Anthony ever saw this side of Daniel.

The fury in his eyes and the sinister smile on his face, scared everyone else present there except for Rachel.

When he told her his past, she was prepared since then and predicted someday she would see this side of him, also she was not scared of Daniel as she knew it was for her sake he brought out this side which he too hated the most.

Daniel placed the pocket knife near Frank's neck and coldly said, "What you are thinking is right. We are not going to kill you"

Frank had an evil grin on his face when he heard Daniel's words but when he heard the next sentence, his eyes widened in fear.

"But that doesn't mean, I am not going to torture you" Daniel then peeled the above thin layer of Frank's cheek skin.

"Bhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa" Frank loudly shouted as it was very painful.

Rachel, James and Michael were shocked when they saw what Daniel was doing, only seeing it was very painful so they couldn't imagine the pain Frank felt as he experienced it.

"Pleaseee stop, I'll tell you" Frank loudly shouted after losing the first layer of the skin on his cheeks as this was the kind of pain he never felt in his life before.

Daniel scoffed and taunted Frank, "You are easier than I expected."

"Huh, if you were this weak, then why act strong and arrogant?" Patrick too taunted him.

"This is the most weird form of attack" Frank glared at Daniel.

"Who is behind these attacks?" Daniel ignored his complaints and asked him the main question.

"MN Corporation" Frank informed them, surprising everyone.

"Who from MN Corporation?" James asked him as MN corporation is a big conglomerate in London and it is not ruled by one person, there are many higher officials in charge of it.
