Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Stone's POV

The car drove straight into venue, and I got down from the car. My pace increased at every step, and Emery had no choice than to run after me.

Of course, I didn't come here to hold hands with her. I just can't come without an escort which is why I took her.

The guards at the door bowed the moment they saw me, and I rushed into the banquet hall. I was showed to the VIP, and then I spotted Xavier.

"That bastard" I cursed within myself as I walked up to him, but I met Karl and Derek first. They were drinking and chatting when they saw me walking towards Xavier.

"Stone? Are my eyes deceiving me? What the f*** are you doing here?" Karl scoffed on seeing me, and I gulped hard with the tobacco pipe in my mouth.

"Are you sure really know where you are? My goodness! You even came with your slut? You came so prepared. What happened Stone? How did you come here?" Derek mockingly asked, and I exhaled deeply.

"Where's Madison?" That was all I could say no matter how hard I tried to force back that statement, I still found myself saying it.

"Madison? Who the hell is that? Did anyone tell you she's here?" Karl arched his eyebrows. It was obvious he didn't know the slave's name.

I turned sharply at Derek, and he scratched his head with a scoff. He definitely knows where she is.

"Where the f*** is Madison, Derek? Don't you dare make me lose my temper, it's obvious you know where she f****** is" I cursed under my breath, but I looked around to make sure I wasn't causing a scene.

"She's with... She's with Xavier" He stuttered, and gulped down the glass of vodka in front of him, and I fumed with anger.

"He really brought her to the god-damned banquet? Is she high on drugs or something? He must be insane to think of endangering her" I kicked the table in front of me, and it fell on the ground, the bottles on the table crashed on the ground, and broke into pieces.

"Stone? People are watching. What the f*** did you come here for? You should have talked to him after the banquet" Karl whispered, and I snorted at him.

"Get the hell out of my way" I pushed Derek aside, and walked straight to Xavier who was seated at the other side.

"Stone? Hey!" Xavier gasped on seeing me. There's no doubt they'll be surprised to see me.

"Where is Madison? Give her back to me now" I wasn't going to waste any further time with him because I came there for Madison. Emery on the other hand was speaking with Karl and Derek. I don't care if they are molesting her or not.

"Stone, why are you trying to create a scene here? You gave her to me yourself, why are you behaving like I stole her from you?" Xavier spoke in between gritted teeth, and I scoffed in disbelief.

"Shut up! I gave her to you, and I'm asking you to give her back to me. Why is it so difficult?" I shook my head in annoyance.

"Why? You want to kill her? Instead of ending her life why don't you sell her to me? I can pay you any amount of money you want" Xavier continued, and I clenched my fist tighter in fury.

"I don't f****** want to sell her, @sshole. Why don't you get that into your fixed skull? She is not for sale. Madison is mine, Xavier... Mine only" I growled at him.

"She went to the restroom. She's been gone for about fifteen minutes" He suddenly snapped, and I glared at him.

"What are you talking about? Where is she? Why did you let her out of your sight? What if she had escaped? I will k*ll you if she escapes" I gritted my teeth, and Xavier rushed towards the restroom. I followed him immediately.

Getting to the female restroom, he quickly flung the door open. To our greatest surprise, there was no sign of Madison inside the bathroom.

"She's gone?" Xavier gasped, and I grabbed him by the collar forcefully, glaring at him like I would rip his head off his body by glaring hard at him.

"Don't even dare" I yelled.

"Blood" He covered his mouth with his palms on seeing blood stains on the slab beside the sink. I let go of him immediately, and touched the blood with my index finger. Tears circulated in my eyes, but I managed to blink it right in.

"Blood? What does this mean? Did she... Did she get hurt?" I couldn't even believe that I was the one asking this question.

I stepped on something, and bent over to pick it up. It was a gold earring. It looked extremely expensive. Madison can't possibly afford that.

"This is Tara's. This gold earring belongs to Tara, what the hell is it doing here?" Xavier widened his eyes in shock.

"Tara... She shouldn't dare lay a damn finger on her. I'm sorry Xavier, but I'll pull an f****** trigger at her and blow her brains off her skull if she dares" I stormed out of the restroom, and Xavier followed.

Rushing to the restroom, we saw a guard at the left corner smoking a cigarette. He quickly threw the cigarette, and stepped on it the moment he saw us.

"Did you see Tara? Where did..." Xavier asked anxiously.

"She just drove off Master" The guard cut him off, and we rushed to the Bentley car in front of us, and pushed the driver out of the car forcefully.

"Get the f*** out, dummy" I kicked him off, and drove off immediately. All thanks to my rough driving, we were able to spot Tara's car.

"Yes, that's her car" Xavier nodded his head in agreement. We continued following her, until she halted her car in front of a bridge. I also stopped the car, and we hopped in.

We saw her bring out unconscious Madison with the help of her handmaid. She grabbed a gun, and pointed it at Madison.

"I'm sorry slave, I'll have to shoot you then throw you over the bridge. There, you'll rest in peace" She smirked. Corking the gun, I gasped in shock a ran towards her. Madison was leaning lifelessly on the pole in front of the bridge.

She pulled a trigger at Madison....

Blood gushed out of my left chest, and I groaned in pains.

"STONE!" Xavier rushed to me as I went on my knees still growling in excruciating pains.....
