Chapter 2 She knows too much
Two days after the failed wedding, Cody was still stomping around his mansion in a foul mood, seething anger rushed all over his body and nothing that was said could stop it. It pounded in his head and threatened to burst at any second. He thought he had broken her, feared her into silence and wrapped around his bony finger for eternity. In two days, Raven had managed to slip off his radar, he had no clue where she was, Cody didn't care if she was alright, as always he was more concerned about himself and how this was affecting him.
"Any news Teddy?"
He looked down shamefully, Ted Diabiase was usually the best man at finding people, but that slippery little bitch had even managed to elude him, Teddy took that personally, when he found her and eventually he would, he was going to have a little fun with her, fun that she would wind up enjoying, they always did.
"No Code, she's just vanished"
"Well make her un-vanish!" Cody shouted making the walls shake "You are meant to be finding her Teddy!"
"Cody, maybe you should just let her go" Teddy said gently, the younger man looked at him coldy as Teddy went on with his point, "If it was meant to be, it was meant to be, maybe you should just accept that she doesn't love you how you love her"
Cody snorted with cold laughter, his eyes lighting up for the first time in days "You think I want her back because I love her?" Cody suddenly struck him hard across the face "Wise up you fool, I want her back because she knows too much. I am making my way into politics and that whore could ruin my career before it even starts. I want her back so she's silent, not because I love her"
Teddy couldn't help the sigh of relief, he never liked Raven. She always came across as a spoiled brat, if Cody didn't pay enough attention or spend enough money on her, she acted out. Cody hated putting her back in line with is fists, but with Raven it was the only thing that seemed to work.
"Your job is to find her Teddy"
"And shoot her on sight?"
Cody smirked "No, bring her back to me, I want to have a little fun with her before she's silenced"
"Cody!"
"Yes Alberto, what is it?" Cody looked to his mexican hitman inpatiently, Cody had far too many allies for his own good.
"I have been doing some digging on your runaway bride, with what I found, maybe its best if we leave her to kill herself"
"Alberto, she has to be silenced, if she isn't then she will find some way to ruin my career, I will not have that. Not now, not ever"
"Cody, she has no familia, no amigos, she has nada. Being out there on her own with nothing, She will take care of herself, and even if she does come forward, they will check her background and against your's, who will believe her?"
Cody hated to admit it, but Alberto had a very good point, maybe he could slip through the cracks, again. Humiliation however was something that couldn't be easily forgiven or forgotten, she had made her bed now she had to lie in it.
"I still want her found, bring her to me and if you two do your jobs correctly, perhaps I'll let you have whats left of the little bitch when I'm done"
