Anna’s POVI had a hard time selecting a restaurant to take Charlotte to. For the first time, I was going to spend my money. I have been dependent on Smith since and I didn’t even use up the pocket money he gives me. I had been saving up to buy him something as well. My plan was to wait for my monthly salary and then surprise him. Anyways, I finally chose Splezi restaurant and I drove there. Charlotte was not a foodie and she ordered sparsely. I was the same as well. She talked so much with her mouth but enough food went in there.“So, let me tell you about my boss and Elena…” Charlotte said slowly. “It is better I say it now before we both go to the club and get drunk and high.”“You are getting ‘high’ alone, girl. I will be driving and I don’t plan on getting a bit drunk. Just tell me the story…” I replied. Charlotte smiled at me and started.“After that fainting incident, they seemed to have bonded. Boss didn’t come back to work on that day. It seemed she waited for her to get bett
Anna’s POVI was busted.I never imagined something like this would happen to me. If Dan truly told Smith that he brought me to a restaurant, he would be here in no time. Smith was a jealous man and he wouldn’t be able to take it at all.I thought about what to do now. Charlotte had found out I had a husband which was enough of a crisis. It would not be funny if she finds out that it is Smith whom she knew as her boss. She was talkative and it would mean that every other person would know about the secret.I knew Andy would be in a car there. I had to call Smith and explain things to him. If he revealed himself, it would make things wild. I tried to go out but Dan held me back.In that split second, the restaurant’s main door opened and Smith came inside. His aura was everything. I bit my lip now since the whole secret has been exposed. He walked up to me and separated my hand from Dan’s own.“I told you that I was…” Dan was saying but Smith didn’t let him complete the statement. He p
Anna’s POVI was surprised to hear this. This meant that Charlotte was not what I thought she was. She had more wisdom than I expected from her. Keeping such detail from me was impressive.“But she doesn’t know about us, does she?” I asked carefully.“She doesn’t,” Smith replied. “I know you must have agreed to eat and go clubbing with her just to hear the past relationship I had with Elena. You could have just asked me and I would have told you. It is not that deep.”“Really?” I asked him carefully.“Sure, I don’t need to keep a secret from you since it is in my past. Didn’t you tell me about your past relationship with Dan? That was a wilder ride in all senses,” Smith told me sharply.“Then tell me about it!” I told him in anticipation. Sally was here already and she got into the back seat. She muttered nothing and Smith carried on like he didn’t see her. He was now driving and telling me this.“It was after Elena collapsed that I realised I liked this girl. I was really conservativ
Anna’s POV“Yes, it is something I have confirmed…” Charlotte replied innocently. She didn’t realise the implication of what she had just said.“Stop saying rubbish!” Smith shouted at Charlotte. I would count this as suspicious as well. I could see Charlotte thinking hard.“A straight man and a gay man have the same physical features. The best way to find a man who is straight is to see his performance in bed. How did you confirm that Smith is not gay?” I asked her carefully. I didn’t know why I was taking up the role of an investigative officer here.“I never confirmed…” Charlotte replied. “I swear it was a slip of the tongue. I have seen my boss's erection once in a while too but that is all. Also, I don’t mean his bare erection. I meant the bulge in his trousers.”“Oh!” I exclaimed.“Exactly,” she replied. “I am not capable of doing things like that. Since you know the boss's relationship with Elena, I am free.”I took a deep breath.“You aren’t going to ask us about our relationsh
Anna’s POVI was very scared to see this happen right in front of my eyes. It was more scary since we had no protection. The car was just a normal one. Bullets would penetrate the glasses for sure.But I was composed. Smith locked the doors and we were shut inside. I started to use my phone. My hand was shaking but I had to call Andy. He needed to know our location to rescue us.The men surrounded us and I could see them loading up their guns. Their leader was in the front pointing at our window.“I might end up killing both of you like this!” he shouted. “How about you just come out now? I have no other motive. All I want to do is to keep you guys around. I can see a girl there too. She can serve as a toy for me while I wait for the ransom!”“What makes you think like that?!” Smith shouted back at me. “You brought only eight men including yourself. I think it is too small to capture me. You know who I am. Back off while you can.”I could see Smith sending a text message to someone. I
Anna’s POVI took the sedatives but I couldn’t sleep. Smith got back late at night and it was when he held me in his arms that I had a bit of comfort. I cried due to the fear of death. In that moment with bullets flying around and Smith defending us, I wondered what would have happened if his plan backfired. What if the man was faster and he shot Smith first. That means both of us would be dead. Andy and William would have arrived to pick up our bodies.Shrills and goosebumps.I used to think I was invisible but I had always been wrong. I was just a normal human being who was afraid of death. Living was a big privilege for me. I still had a lot of dreams that were unfulfilled. It would be unfair for me to die like that.Smith laid me to sleep but I woke up thirty minutes later. By that time, he was sleeping already. I wanted to see his face but I knew he would wake up if I turned the lights on. I stayed like that and watched him sleep. Every sound I heard frightened me. I could not ge
Anna’s POVI frowned.“Watch me help you out of this silly mess, miss. This is my area of expertise. I wouldn’t worry if I were in your shoes. Trust me and you will be fine. That’s a promise!” Bridget told me carefully.“You ain’t the regular kind of therapist!” I exclaimed.“Apart from on TV, how many therapists have you seen in your life? I am not talking about those you had a short conversation with. I am saying all the ones you must have seen with your two eyes,” Bridget said shortly. “My guess is none. You are too ordinary to have met a number of therapists in your lifetime. Am I wrong?”I was vexed. I took a deep breath here.“You have a talent for annoying other people. You should take your flowers…” I told her carefully.“Definitely!” she replied. “I still have plans for us to go to Gun club. It’s the same place I took Smith to years back. It will be the best place for us to cure your trauma as well. That is if you trust me as usual.”“I don’t trust you one bit…” I told him sa
Anna’s POVI had an important announcement to make here. William was listening to me carefully. He had to carry out an important assignment for me.“You’ll be of help to me in a different manner,” I said carefully.“Go ahead, miss. I will do whatever you want me to,” William replied slowly.“Do you know Miss Charlotte from the office?” I asked.“I do…” he replied solemnly.“That’s fantastic. I think she is in love with you and that would make your task easier. Your task is to get closer to her. She will fall for you easily so become her lover. You must make sure she is in love with you totally,” I said carefully.“But it is quite despicable to toy with the feelings of a lady. What if I end up falling in love with her too? I might be unable to tame my feelings. I am a man as well…” William protested.“I never knew you could exchange words with me,” I said carefully with a smirk on my face. “I hired you to be mine. That is why the private security firm has no control over you. It is fin
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
