Chapter 3

Third Person POV

---- On the other side ----

A man was walking on a busy street, dressed in a black overcoat with a turtle neck sweater inside, his black hair a bit longer pushed backward. He didn't turn anywhere to look around and kept walking straight, passing by hundreds of people on the street he was talking to someone on the phone call.

"We should tell everyone about you so that you can take over", the person on the other side of the call said.

"It's not the time yet for me to show myself, some things are still needed to be done those people will not let us take anything easily we can't trust them one mistake and we can lose everything, wait for the right time, it's near until then take up the front for me", he said keeping one hand inside his pocket and holding the phone from the other.

"What do you want me to do?", the other person asked.

"Look out if anyone is plotting against you, kill them."

"I am on this, I found something. I will take care of it so that you can return comfortably."

"I am coming back, let's meet up I need a few things to know", he smiled at his words stopping at the corner of the road to cross it.

"Where should we meet? I can book a whole hotel or you can come home."

"Choose a place which is not suspicious of you to visit we can't let anyone know about my existence, I will tell you the date later"

"Then, I will text a place soon"

He crossed the road after canceling the call and went on his way.

---- Back to Chloe ----

Aiden returned from Russia after submitting the report on the case. As soon as he returned Chloe asked him to join her in the mission.

They both collected information from wherever they can get on Dave and about the current mafia king, their other family members, and the allies of the Castello Family. They searched down all the murder cases related to the Castello Family and the deals they have done in the past years. They also searched out every single piece of information about Dave, where he studied, his friends at school and college, his girlfriend, every single girl he slept with, and at what age he joined the mafias.

Dave wasn't the mafia king now but all the illegal work in their country was under his control. His mother died while giving him birth, and at the age of ten, some other gang attacked their house, his father and stepbrother died in cross firing.

He has upfront of a company under the Castello Family name, whoever will become the Mafia King, will also become the CEO of this company. Wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by guards, so it isn't easy to approach him.

They even can't go close to him and couldn't find any evidence as all the witnesses were killed and other evidence was destroyed, everything was like a perfect crime. But sadly there isn't anything like one, they thought if they can't find the evidence of their past crimes, they still can get proof of their illegal business and all the future crimes. They decided to disguise themselves as a pair of a drug dealer who wanted to work with them but their proposal was refused.

They found a lead on Dave through a swindler.

Dave is going to meet someone soon in a nightclub, he doesn't know whom he will meet and at what time.

It is common for some local goons and swindlers to have meetings at the club but for mafias like Dave, they do come here but not for deals.

Chloe was thinking about what could be the reason for him meeting someone at a nightclub. According to her information, there couldn't be any. His position as a mafia was stable he will soon be officially given the title of the 'Mafia King' which was currently held by his grandfather. There was no sign of treason within the family or alliance. So, that can't be the reason.

As Chloe and Aiden couldn't think of a reason, she thought to find it at the club.

They decided to go to the club separately, Chloe will go there as a customer and Aiden as a bartender, but they didn't know what will Dave come there.

Aiden started working in the club a few days before.

Chloe was in her office and was getting ready for the nightclub as they didn't know when Dave will come there so she decided to go to the club as soon as it opens. She wore a black chiffon see-through blouse with a sequin skirt with a clutch in her hand and went to the club.

---- At the club entrance ----

She saw a long line outside the nightclub, club bouncers were checking everyone before allowing them in. She noticed that they were not only bouncers who stand there regularly but some other guards too. She stood in the line and called Aiden to ask him.

"They are checking everyone, I couldn't take my gun with me."

"I know, I was about to call you. Someone told me a VIP is coming here, it must be Dave."

"Do you have your gun?"

"No, they were checking the staff too. I hid it somewhere outside, you should also leave them outside, they will not let you in if they find something suspicious."

"Ok", she cut the call.

Soon she got into the club.

The club was full of noise, she went to Aiden to talk to him. First, she ordered something for herself.

"Where is he?"

"He isn't here yet. The upper floor is vacant for him, no one is allowed to go up there, even I can't go up."

"Do you have any weapons?"

"No, but I can give you a knife from the kitchen if needed."

She took her drink and left from there. She examined the area and found that there are people with guns in the club mixed with other customers.

She informed the location of those to Aiden too.

Now she has to wait for Dave to come.

She was sitting on a sofa when she saw someone approaching her, his face was unclear because of the low light in the club. As he came closer to her she got a clearer view of his face, she saw her somewhere but don't exactly remember when and where. She recalled some vivid memories of him around her.

"Hey! you remember me met before", as his words fell into her ears the memories got clearer. She remembered everything about how she met him before and what happened before.

Her eyes widened, she was shocked to see him again.

"Hey!", "Hey!", "Can you hear me?", he sat beside her and shakes her slowly.

"Yes", she came back to realization and noticed how close they were. She moved a bit far from him on the sofa.

"Sorry, I don't know you", she said facing the other side.

"Try to remember, it can't be possible that you don't know me"

"No, I don't", she said after some time pretending she was trying to remember.

"A year ago, Sydney, hotel suite", he tried to make her recall him.

"Sorry, You can go and try to hit on some other woman", she wants to avoid him as she has to focus on her mission. Dave wasn't here yet she doesn't want someone to hook up with her.

They were sitting side by side, he turned and hovered over her body, keeping his hand on either side of her on the sofa back. He came closer to her, his breath fanning her lips, the smell of his cologne entering her nostril.

She can feel her face heating up with the immediacy, her eyes fell on his lips. She couldn't stop but remember the taste of those alluring lips, she wants to taste them again. He saw her licking her lips while gazing at his.

"You are lying, you recognized me as soon as you saw me.", he said with a grin.

She was completely mesmerized to hear what he was saying.

"Hey! We are here on a mission, not to find a sugar daddy for you. Control your hormones.", Aiden's voice fell on her ear drawing her back to reality and making her realize in what position she was.

"No, I didn't", she replied to him immediately, pushing him away. He again sat beside her.

Aiden was looking around for her when he saw her in a corner beneath someone and told her to focus on the mission.

She stood up from there to get away from him but he held her hand.

"Leave my hand", she now wants to punch the man in front of her but couldn't as to not gain unnecessary eyes on her, she was completely annoyed by him.

He pulled her to him, she landed on his lap.

"If you don't then I can make this night unforgettable for you", he said moving his face closer to her, whispering in her ear.

"He is here.", Aiden told her through an earpiece.

She lifted her gaze towards the entrance and saw the person she was waiting for, Dave Castello.
