William’s POV This was the best time for me to propose a date between Charlotte and I. I had to do this for the sake of my mission. I had learned that Charlotte had feelings for me and I would need to exploit this if I am to succeed. I hated every bit of it but I had no choice. It was my duty which I couldn’t dare to defy. “A date!” Charlotte exclaimed in shock. Everyone around including Anna were glaring at us. I didn’t care since the relationship had to be an open one. “Yeah, I would love to take you out tonight after work. Would you be available?” I asked her carefully. I could see that she was uncertain. She never used to be like this. “I will make out time. Where do you want to go?” Charlotte asked me excitedly. This made me smile. -------------------- “I will go out on a date with her tonight and kick start my mission in the process. I think she might have feelings for me already…” I reported to Anna after I was done with the conversation with Charlotte. I met with Anna a
Anna’s POV“You actually stopped that act of a pervert!” I exclaimed with distaste written all over my face,“I did and it was one new girl that made me stop…” William replied. “Also, I was not taking advantage of them at all. None of them contributed for gas and I spent a fucking lot to take them home because most of them wore no brasseries. It was like a tradition then. Those girls wanted their nipples poking out to make a mark on their shirt. It was really wild then. They acted all possessed. They would spill water over their shirt and make the boys go nuts. Break time in high school was crazy. They were a lot of fondling involved. I was taken away from that school actually and I completed high school in a military school.”“Just tell me about the girl that made you stop. Did she make you fall in love or was she a christian? Did she preach to you?” I wanted to know.“Neither…” William replied. He was shaking his head pitifully and this made me wonder what he wanted to say. “This gi
Anna’s POV“But I don’t feel like making a baby!” I told him boldly. “I just want to be a working class woman and you are robbing me of my innocence. We should work when others are working, dear. Stop this now!”“I will…” Smith replied. “Speaking about babies, when…”“It won’t be now, Smith,” I interrupted hastily. “Stop putting me on the spot, darling. Both of us talked about this a long time ago and we had an agreement. I am still getting used to this life. Let’s wait for a year or two and then we can have children. It should never be before that.”“I think I understand but things are unpredictable, okay. No man knows when death would snatch him away. My father did not live long and my grandfather did not exist till old age. Both of them are typical examples. I don’t pray to end up like them but life can be unpredictable. I don’t want to die without a heir. A year or two is fine since you are a big help here in the company but it should not exceed the period…” Smith told me shortly.
Anna’s POVDing.I might just be able to bell the cat right now. Charlotte looked just like a kid that had been caught stealing. It looked like she was really involved. I needed to confirm this before I jumped into conclusion.“I actually thought about it when I discovered that boss’s car windscreen has been changed. It’s not the first time such has happened, you know…” Charlotte said while smiling. Her smile was vividly faked.“Smith has not brought the car to the office since the incident. It actually happened last week Friday and this is Monday. You didn’t see the car during the weekend. You are hiding something right now. Tell me the truth!” I told her boldly. She closed her eyes for a split second and took a deep breath.“Yeah, I know,” Charlotte replied. “I don’t know how to explain this…”My phone rang. It was Smith and I picked it up instantly.“The whole team is waiting for Charlotte and you. Get your asses over here quick!” Smith shouted over the phone excitedly. Charlotte r
Anna’s POV“It is one or the other!” Smith exclaimed. “It is either you provide a solution for me here and now or I will hand out sack letters. I can’t keep paying the salaries of a bunch of directors who do not care about the company’s growth in real time. Let it begin. It is your stage now, Anna!”I was shocked to mention my name. I checked my phone and I realized Smith had sent me a message.“Here is a chance for you to act professional. Confront the men. Additional information is below,” the message read. He attached a PDF with the message and I had it forwarded to my iPad. I picked it up after and went to the podium.“I didn’t realize this while coming but this seems to be a meeting of all directors in this company. All branches were represented by the real director except for the branch in California. The real director is ill and he sent his deputy. We will start with that!” I told them firmly. “The director in charge of the branch has been sick for three months now and he hasn’
Anna’s POVWhen I finally hugged Smith, I felt like all my burdens had came off. It had been so tiring and I was mentally out of breath. I could cast all my burdens on him now. He would help me hold them up and solve them.”You must have been dying to hold me, huh!” Smith laughed at me. I didn’t bother to reply me. I just remained in his arms, getting comforted.We had dinner together but I ate sparsely. Smith complained that my body temperature was high and I noticed it already. I had little appetite and I just flung it off. It was definitely due to exhaustion. I worked hard these past few days.Smith offered to take me to the hospital but I declined. The in-house nurse came to check on me and even offered me some medicine which I used. I was to get complete rest. Smith just kissed me on the forehead before he slept. I knew he wanted me to rest but this was the kind of time I needed a cuddle. I didn’t mind since he was being considerate.I was about to sleep when I heard my phone bee
William’s POVAfter I ended the three-way call with Andy and Anna, I decided to make a cup of calming tea to enable me to sleep. I had trouble sleeping because of the chaotic life I lived in the past. I was making this tea when my phone beep. It was the least expected person, Charlotte.“Help me! I’m freezing!” she said over the phone. Even though her voice was tiny, I knew she meant that as an exclamation. The call ended before I could say something else. I was afraid something bad would happen to her. She claimed to be freezing but I didn’t know what happened to her exactly. I had to find out by myself.I knew Charlotte’s house since I drove her there after our date. I had to go there again. I could remember leaving her at the gate in a half-drunk, half-sober state. I stepped on the gas and sped as fast as I could. It didn’t take so much time before I arrived. I called her phone but she wasn’t picking up. I managed to find her apartment but it was protected by a pass code.And again
William’s POVEven if this was only a game, I had to make it real, right? This was what I planned to achieve like this. I could see Charlotte’s facial expression from where I stood.“You used to love me…” Charlotte sighed. “That means it was in the past. You can’t continue to be a strange woman in a secret organisation, right?”“No…” I replied. “The fact that you are in a secret organisation does not make me fear you. It is the fear of losing you. What if something like this happens again? It might be a more delicate place and you might even lose your life. I would have fallen deeper in love with you and I would be so hurt. Is it not better to end it now that I haven’t gone too far with you?”Charlotte didn’t take her eyes off me.“I love you too…” Charlotte replied. “I never knew why I did that but I really trust you. I called you instead of a host of other people I know. Someone insensitive would have taken me to the hospital despite my warnings. You did very well even when it put y
Anna’s POV“Mission complete from Wolf but he is in danger. He has been shot by a hostile,” Hibiscus reported. “He was shot on the stomach but it avoided his vitals. His car has been destroyed by the explosion and he has confirmed the death of Mark and the other guys. However, he has no car and he is still bleeding.”“Send White Shark to help him now!” I exclaimed. “Also, I never thought of this but now is the best time to end this. Send the anonymous tip to our man in the police. Dan needs to be rooted out tonight for sure. Tell them he plans to escape tonight as well.”“I will rush there to provide support instantly,” White Shark reported.I waited for two minutes before Hibiscus gave his latest report.“I have sent the anonymous tip and I have given Dan’s address. They will be there in fifteen minutes,” Hibiscus replied. “Also, Valentine is back at headquarters. He is recuperating for now.”“Where is the nearest seaport from Dan’s place?” I asked her carefully. “I don’t care where
Anna’s POVYes, it was time to end it all and put them to rest as well. This had to be done delicately. Mark had to come by himself.“How do we bring him in, ma’am?” Hibiscus asked me carefully.“Yeah, he had a phone with only three contact numbers. I think sending a photo of his death will connect us with Mr. Anonymous…” I replied carefully.“It probably will but it might also turn chaotic. There will be more than one person to confront and it is nothing good, you know,” White Shark replied carefully. He already knew he would be leading this operation.“That is why we cannot confront them normally. We will put Daniel Locke’s body in the house I was kidnapped and taken to and also, we will have bombs all around. I don’t know where to get bombs but you can, right?” I asked them carefully.“It is illegal but I have a private dealer. I will work things over with him and set things up within two hours,” White Shark told me calmly. “That saying, I am to detonate the bomb when I see Mark en
Anna’s POV“I know him already. He is the captain, Daniel Locke…” I replied. “Hey, White Shark, prepare the interrogation room. I will speak to him when we get to the headquarters. My husband is there too, right?”“He is,” White Shark replied. “Also, he has been strange. He knew before you were attacked so he must have gotten the information from someone else. I asked about the person who told him about the attack but he has been keeping the secret. To avoid matters getting out of hand, I gave no information to him when we were going to rescue you. He will find out when you get back.”I sighed.“Don’t make things too complicated…” I replied. “My husband is not someone that would betray me or any other person. I will find out the truth when I get back so remain calm until then.”----------------When the car stopped at the headquarters, I entered with a classy feeling. I was confident and this topped my personal charts. I entered and I was welcomed by the agents at the headquarters. Hi
Anna’s POVThe men who kidnapped me were all gazing at me. For sure, they would think I was crazy. Truly, a person who was kidnapped should not have such nerve. I would need to show them how different I was from them. I didn’t have to panic because of them. Although I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t get killed, I had faith in Smith and my other men. Surely, White Shark and Hibiscus would be listening to my voice right now. They would save me for sure.“None of these men knows my name!” he told me coldly. “There are four of them but they call me captain and nothing more. Please, stop talking about my name or I’ll be forced to deal with you harshly.”Then I remembered. The most core value of their organisation was secrecy and I could make him do something he would regret if he got angry.“Oh dear!” I exclaimed. “Your captain’s name used to be Daniel Locke but he bears John Locke right now. He is an adult movie star. Go to porn hub and search for his name. He is not too popular but he h
Anna’s POVThe driver with shaky hands turned on outside communication mode. Now, I could talk and those people could hear. Andy took charge now.“Hey, you should stop this now…” Andy told them carefully. “I am sure you know the person I am transporting. If you didn’t know, you won’t bother doing this much. If you want money, we’ll pay. Please, remove the bombs and let’s sort this out properly.”“We came here for a mission and it is to kill the person you badly wish to protect. I have no reason to kill you as well so you can pay a million dollars for your freedom…” the leader of the men outside said carefully. I looked at Andy carefully and he nodded pitifully.“I don’t have that much on my bank account but I have it in a safe in my house. I can only wire two hundred thousand dollars right now. If you want a million dollars, you can go to my house,” Andy said carefully.“Two hundred thousand dollars sounds great!” the leader exclaimed. “However, how about a better deal. You don’t get
Anna’s POV“Oh! That’s nice!” I exclaimed. “Find out the fellow and report to me before any other person. As for Wolf, do you have any requests?”“I need some men on standby,” Wolf replied. “The men in Dan’s mansion do not look friendly at all and if I am found out by any means, I have no means of escaping. It is better I leave now before my identity is uncovered. Please, send some men over.”“I will consider,” I replied.“Please,” Wolf begged over the call. “I have a bad feeling about this. Trust me, I am fearless but I also take my instincts seriously. We can do this some other time. I need to get out of here but without those men catching onto me.”I took a deep breath.“Hey, White Shark! Are you on the call too?” I asked.“I am…” White Shark replied. “I guess you wish to know what I think about Wolf’s request. I am right, aren’t I?”“You are,” I smiled. I do this regularly these days. “Let me know what you think about this. It might influence my decision a great deal so tell me wh
Anna’s POV“We have a problem, boss,” White Shark stormed into my office. The fact that he called me ‘boss’ made me lit up a smile. It was unexpected but it also felt good for him to acknowledge me. He was formerly one of those men that never believed a lady could be good in other things except on the bed and in the kitchen. I must have changed his mindset. Anyway, he said there was a problem and I needed to hear.“What’s the problem? I’m busy, you know,” I told him carefully.“It is related to this current case and I think we have been found out…” White Shark replied. “I was tailing the CEO of AKS Group as you instructed and I made sure I wasn’t noticed by any of his bodyguards. However, he had secret bodyguards. They weren’t normal bodyguards which I could shake off like that. They seemed to be mercenaries from that secret organisation. I have left no traces though. They shot at my car too even though I never attacked them first.”“Spying on their financier is the same thing as atta
Dan’s POV“Hey!” I shouted. “I know you don’t have any regard for me but just shut your lying tongue or I will cut it out. I never put you in danger. Since I shed your identity to the other guys, how many attempted murders has occurred?”“It was only yesterday,” Mark replied calmly. “No one knows if I will be killed tomorrow. You don’t understand how things works here. I can see the reason why your father does not trust you. You might be the end of this organization.”I slapped him. I knew he could have moved before then but he stood there, breathing hard. I was scared he would punch me but he only stood there. I was the one who slapped him but I was the one afraid. Sammie was still in the room and I could not bear to act like a weakling.“Listen up!” I shouted at him. “I am not a perfect human and no one is perfect. If I am lacking, you tell me instead of telling me I am not capable. Do you know how much it hurts? You should know already.”“I fucking know!” Mark shouted in the loudes
Dan’s POV“We have a problem!” Mark told me over the phone. He was formerly known as Anonymous to me before I got to know his true identity. I heaved a sigh now.“You have never called me for something good. It is always a problem. This must be what made my father age so quickly and even fall sick. Some rest and peace would have been so helpful…” I told him carefully over the phone.“But you still need to listen. There is a reason to believe that someone wants to hurt our financier. Do you remember him? The CEO of AKS Group is the person I mean…” Mark told me carefully. “He is a billionaire and he has bodyguards watching over him. However, our organization provided some undercover mercenaries to keep him safe. Today, they discovered someone watching him.”“Did you capture the person?” I asked shortly.“Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the person behind this. Our men managed to capture the plate number and we are currently tracking the owner of the car. We need your directives
