"Even if you saw me by chance who gave you the permission to come here, what were you thinking when you came here saying a ridiculous lie that you're pregnant with my child?", Dave's voice can make any normal person feel intimidated. Even though Chloe was expecting such questions from him and wasn't affected but she acted afraid but tried to make him believe that she wasn't lying. "I wasn't able to cut out a deal with you, I just wanted a chance to do it so it will be unfair if I wasn't given a chance. I just wanted to meet you once so that I can propose you a deal. I do not have any other intention except that, and lying about that was just a part.", Chloe answered in a timid voice keeping her head down, to show her fake sincerity. Dave slightly laughed at her. Chloe raised her head to see him and saw him grin at her tilting his head. She made a questionable face, she couldn't understand the reason behind his smile, maybe she did it a bit over. "Your timorous words just now and
"Now follow me" "I do not need anyone to usher me to my home, I can go by myself.", Chloe said frowning at the man. "If you are not coming then we have to take you with us. You can just leave the trouble and just show us where your home is.", the man said with a blank expression. Going with them could be a good option for her if only the circumstances aren't like this for her. What could be more good for Chloe if her prey is inviting her to come and bite him, but with the circumstances now, the position of prey and predator were swapped. She couldn't choose this either. She waited for a few seconds to reply and acted like she was thinking something. "I would like to go with the first option.", she said with a dubious face. "Wise choice. Please come then.", the man replied again with a blank face. Chloe followed the man from behind and with her steps, two more of Dave's men joined them. The man took her to the parking area of the Nightclub. The four stood in front of a black car
Aiden bombarded her with questions as soon as he heard her voice. "Hey! stop! stop! everything fine. I am not even scratched.", Chloe said to stop him amid his questions. Aiden stopped asking her question. "You said you aren't even scratched, does something happen? Where are you? tell me. I will come to you.", Aiden said with a worried voice. "I am at my home, I will tell you everything later.", Chloe said to appease him. "I will be coming there then." "You don't have to, they may have left someone to tail me.", Chloe was suspicious that Dave must have left someone to follow her. "Someone, to tail you? Why?" "I will tell you details later, Let's meet tomorrow at the Black Current office." "Why there suddenly?" "I do not want them to see us meeting. Do you remember, at first, we decided to go for the drug dealers plan, I just used that just now. So, it will not be suspicious of me going there." "I understand, but I will still come around your building and check whether someo
The Next Day Third Person's POV Chloe received a call from Aiden, that there was someone who was around her house and spying on her house the whole time. Chloe told him to let the man do his work and be careful not to get caught. The two already decided to meet at the Black Current's head office. ***** Chloe got out of her house locked the door and left from there, she found her car in the parking area and retrieved the key from the building guard. She got out of her residence driving away, she too noticed a car following her. Aiden told her the other night that there was only one man following her. She could easily get rid of that man but she doesn't want to raise any suspicion instead she wants to show that she wasn't lying to Dave. That's the reason she decided to went to the head office of the White Current. White Current used to be a small drug supplier company, which only works within a small district. The company fell into a trap by Chloe's agency, thus the company fell a
After explaining everything, Chloe left there. She checked through the CCTV and found that the man was still outside the building. She has somewhere to go, but she couldn't go out through the entrance as the man will follow her. So instead, she took the secret way to go out from there and the two went out from there. After doing her work, she came back there, entering through the secret passage she left from the passage from where she entered before. She found the man still waiting for her there. "It was easy to fool him and go out. I think the surveillance is going to be easy to go through like this.", Chloe said with a smirk. After that, she went toward the area she parked her car. Opening the door, she sat inside her car and drive back to her home. She used the same way, for a few days and the man follow her around wherever she goes whether at the house, club, or anywhere else. Without raising any suspicion she kept doing her work. After three to four days of watching her and
"So what do you have in your mind?", Chloe asked Aiden. "Simply, I have looked for a space goat.", Aiden said shrugging his shoulder. "In detail.", Chloe asked Aiden to explain his plan deeply. "So, listen! We will join some other gang that is an ally for the Castello Family. And from there we can earn information regarding the crimes done by Castello Family and mainly Dave Castello, the soon-to-be Mafia king. But we have to find one that is the most trusted by the current Mafia king. Because even if in future Dave find anything suspicious he will not attack us directly.", Dave explained all the plan he came with excitement. Chloe took a sigh. "What's with the reaction?", Aiden asked her feeling a little offended., "The plan is okay, but it will not be easy to join any gang on short notice, and to climb up higher to find clues regarding Dave, is another obstacle. Also even if we find a good ally for the Castello Family it will not be necessary that they will be holding some new
"Why don't you want to tell him? I don't see anything worth repressing.", Chloe asked raising his brows."I have a good reason for that, but for now couldn't tell you. So, just keep it a secret.", Aiden said.Chloe squealed her eyes at him and didn't say anything for a minute, to this Aiden made the same face as her."I will not, you owe me for this and you have to tell me the reason in the future. There are no secrets between us, remember.", Chloe said leaning back in her seat."Done, I ought to tell you this either way.", Aiden said banging his palm on the table."So tell me, what do I have to do?", Chloe asked him."I have planned how to join her company but I want to know about her personality, first.", Aiden explained as he brought his hands on his chin and put his face on it, looking at the screen."When it will be?", Chloe asked."It is soon, we have to pass through an interview for it.", Aiden said."An Interview? How can she earn favors when she is taking people in through in
Chloe's POVI woke up when my alarm rang in the early morning, the morning is a little foggy. I stepped out of my bed. I have to go to the gym today, gotta stretch some muscle, the devil invited me himself into his cave I have to be prepared for any circumstances. But the first thing I want to do is to eat something.Grrrrrrrr.....That was the sound from my stomach, wow! just don't humiliate me anywhere else. Thinking of food can actually makes you hungrier. I didn't eat the last night, it will not be good to go to the gym empty stomach.I went to my kitchen and opened my fridge, and obviously, there was nothing to eat in my fridge as a meal."Huh!"Great!, but I still have chocolate bars in my fridge. "Yep!"I picked one from them and went back to my room. Munching the bar, I took my gym clothes from the wardrobe and wore them.I came back to the kitchen, I have eaten the last one so I took another bar and went out of the house chomping on the bar. I will be walking the way to my gy
She hung up the phone.Mira questioned her, "What happened?"."He simply ditched me, saying he got some urgent work."A car stopped in front of them.When the two turned to face the automobile, the car's window dropped.Frank was seated in the vehicle."Hey! You must be finished with your work now. Come along with me.", Frank remarked as he turned his face to Chloe from inside the vehicle."Why should I?", Chloe asked in a quiet voice glaring at him.Chloe's words were not heard by the two of them."If you'd like, let's go out to dinner together.", Frank suggested with a smile."Oh! I believe your friend arrived. Hello, I am Chloe's colleague Mira, we are in the same department.", Chloe heard Mira say this."No, he's not the friend I was talking about...", Chloe said to avoid misunderstanding.Frank interrupted Chloe's sentence, "Nice to meet you, mam. Thank you, for keeping her in your company.""No, he..."Missing Chloe's words, Mira said, "You were talking about something ditching
"You don't have to behave like my girlfriend anymore after we reveal about brother. We can sign another contract too."On the same day, in the afternoon, in the company"I will think about your words and respond later," Chloe remembered saying before leaving Frank's room."I know you'd make a wise decision," Frank said as she exited the room.Chloe was replaying the morning conversation in her head.'I have no choice but to comply with what they are saying. But now my goal has shifted; I was already lacking in information on Dave, and now I know nothing about him. Aiden has not yet contacted me. I'm sure I'm on their radar now. I can't even get in touch with him. Only if I can ask him directly.' Chloe reflected as she sat at her desk.Chloe was lost in her thoughts and didn't notice that someone was calling out for her.She was working at her desk when she heard a small knock. Mira was the one."Huh?" Chloe asked, perplexed.Mira, pointed her finger at Alex, who was standing a little
The Next Day, Early MorningChloe was dozing off in her bed when she flipped over.Behind her, she sensed a dip in the mattress, like though someone had been sitting on it.Without delay, she spun around and withdrew the dagger that she always kept beneath her pillow.She brandished the dagger at the intruder in her room.He raised his hands instantly, and it was Frank, she saw sitting on the bed."I assumed you were getting a good night's sleep." Frank remarked, "I see you are quite sensitive."Pointing the blade at him, Chloe questioned, "How did you come in?"Frank jokingly said, "Shouldn't your question be what I am doing here?"Glaring at him, Chloe said, "Answer me, first.""OK, all right." Frank replied, "I entered through that door; it's my house, and I have extra keys for all the doors in this house."Chloe noticed the door opened.Frank asked, "Now, will you put down that dagger?" as he pushed the blade halfway down.Chloe reclaimed the dagger.Chloe asked, ruffling her seve
Chloe left Frank and Dave and went to her room.As Chloe walked away, Frank asked Dave, "Can we go to my room?""Yes. By now, the room must have been cleaned by the maids.""I kept this room locked while you were away.", Dave said as he opened the door, "Everything is as it is, as you left it."Frank replied, looking around the room and recalling all the memories of his youth he had, some fuzzy and some as vivid as the sky, "Hmm... it's been a long right?"Dave hugged his brother once more and whispered, "I waited for you."Frank could hear a slight tremble in Dave's voice.Frank hugged him back, and let him rest on his shoulder for a while."How can you trust her alone? What if something happened to you? I would have sent more people. Why you asked for her alone.", Dave asked as a tear escaped from his eyes falling on his brother's shoulder.Frank said to his brother, "I wanted to see what she was capable of and what not.""You take such a big chance just to try her out?", Dave quest
On one side, Frank and Chloe were standing, and on the other, the enemy's men were waiting for Frank."I'll handle everything; just get in the car and drive away from here," Chloe told Frank.Chloe was prepared to fight back though she knew she couldn't win over these men. But the only thing she has to do is get Frank safely out of here.The enemy's men began to approach them.Frank took Chloe's hand in his."We're not going to win here." Frank said as he began running in the opposite direction pulling Chloe with him."Run." Frank said.With all those men trailing behind them."What are your thinking? We can't avoid them for long even if we run inside.", Chloe said as she ran."Simply follow me and run as fast as you can. We just need to vanish from their sight.", Frank said as the two kept running.Suddenly, a bullet was fired at them. Chloe looked behind her, and those men were getting closer. They were shoving people all over the place.The airport police attempted to stop them, bu
Dave escorted Chloe away from the party. There was another car alongside the one they arrived in. Dave made her to sit in the other car.Chloe noticed, while getting in, the Castello's symbol wasn't on the car.Dave inquired about her arms, "Are you loaded?""Sufficiently.", she answered."If you require additional weapons, there is one right beneath your seat. You are also free to take that. The driver will take you to your destination and explain everything to you. There will be a man there. Bring him safely to me. That is your responsibility.""What is his name? How will I recognize him? ", Chloe inquired, perplexed by what was going on.If there was an emergency, hundreds of Dave's men will be stationed here. But no one was there, so it could be someone Dave doesn't want anyone to know about.Who could it possibly be? Chloe asked to herself."The driver will give you a picture. I'll tell the others that you weren't feeling well, so we're both going back. I'll be waiting for you a
Dave was gone. After speaking with Jasper for a while, Chloe learned a few useful things, but he was constantly trying not to spit out the important information. But Chloe was confident that she could get him to say anything, but she needed time. There were far too many distractions, and people were crowding around her. Although Jasper was still nearby, the others were taking up too much of her time, making it impossible for her to converse with him. She went to Jasper, as soon as she found some space, before anyone else approached her. "Hey! Can you help me, Mr. Jasper?", Chloe inquired. "I'm starting to feel congested. This is my first time here, so I'm not sure where I should go. Can you take me to a vacant area?" Chloe performed admirably in convincing him of what she was saying. "Sure, I'll assist you. Come along with me.", Jasper stated. Chloe followed him to the location he was taking her. He continued to speak as they travelled. "I completely understand how you mus
Zen and Chloe shared a drink, but Chloe refuses to drink any more.Zen had a few more drinks before being taken away by some females.Dave had been staring at her the entire time.Chloe noticed Dave approaching her."He left you alone here," Dave said as he approached her."He didn't leave me, just a swarm of flies took him," she chuckled.Dave looked at her."What exactly is it? Why did you come here? Is there anyone in particular I should keep an eye on? "Chloe inquired."No," Dave replied."Then?"Dave didn't have a specific reason."I just came because he left; it won't look right if you stand here by yourself while I socialise." he explained."You just happened to arrive at the wrong time; that lady was about to approach me after seeing me standing alone. If you hadn't shown up, I could have talked to her ", Chloe said, motioning to a middle-aged woman.Dave and I both looked in the same direction."You will have more opportunities. Don't be concerned, and don't rush ", Dave told
"I know him very well," Zen smiled.Chloe remained silent, pretending she wasn't understanding what he was saying."I understand why you came here," Dave said.Zen's gaze shifted to Dave."Chloe, Could you please help me with this one thing? If you see this man saying something stupid, leave him right away. You don't need to think about anything."Dave locked his gaze on him.Chloe burst out laughing at the sight of the two.Chloe had never seen Dave bicker like that before. His words are usually either a cautionary tale or a command to others. Every word has different meanings."Fine, is this the queue from which I should leave?" she asked, looking at them both."Hey! You're ruining both of our moods. Are you afraid she will leave you if she learns about your past? ", Zen told Dave."Chloe, your name is Chloe, right?" Zen asked.Chloe gave a slight nod of the head."Would you like to join me for a drink until your boring fiance greets the rest of the guests? I'm telling you, it's bet
