Itching to shoot him in the head if granted the opportunity." My , my , my , it hurts me so much that you think I have something sinister planned behind this dinner. " Chloe dropped her glass on the table , leaned back on her chair crossing her leg over the other , wagging her hands she sneered ," What can I say Theddy, once bitten twice shy " Theddy chuckled lightly and nodded , he couldn't help but notice her change of attitude. Something is definitely off with her tonight .The Chloe that he has come to know these past few days hates to breathe the same air he breathes , heck !

Two days Earlier" Boss, we have a new Intel from Italy. Underground Boss assistant will be here in two days " Henry Theddy's right-hand man whispered into his ears.He risked it interrupting their dinner but it's worth it considering what the stand to lose if eventually they came and his boss is unprepared to meet them Theddy's ears perked up when he heard the news and his brows furrowed in a frown but he quickly dismissed it so as not to draw Chloe's attention.' That woman is quick-witted ' he thought , giving her a squinted gaze but the nonchalant lady sipped her cocktail with poise ." I will be with you soon " he whispered back , waving his aide away for the latter to nod and walk away in quick long strides.Theddy adjusted his suit and winked at her " let's call it a night Mrs Reigns, thanks for gracing me with your presen… "But she didn't let him finish and cutted him halfway It's not like I have a choice " Chloe interrupted , earning her a questioning raised brow from

Rows of luxury cars worth millions lined up in front of his base and from it came out dozens of able-bodied men .Their well draped suits did not do justice to their well toned muscles that their suit couldn't hide . Any strain from them their suits will rip apart .Taking in on the sight before him , Theddy couldn't help but feel a hot sweat trickle down his back , beads of sweat began forming on his forehead.One of the bodyguards , a tall blonde man walked to the white luxury car and opened it , Theddy's eyes twinkled with anticipation to see who his anonymous boss sent .But seconds rolled by and the occupant of the car didn't step out , Theddy couldn't hide his annoyance any longer just when he was about to retort two pairs of black customized leather shoes touched the cold tarmac.Theddy glances from his shoes upwa

Back to presentWhen Chloe heard the gunshots, she did not know whether to be excited or scared, as her mind was thrown into a frenzy.' Excited that maybe Liam has finally found where she was being held and had finally come to rescue her ' ' Or maybe one of Theddy's men has had enough of his low treatments and revolted against him ' her heartbeat increased rapidly at the thought of this and the possibility.If Theddy's men were to revolt there would be a lot of bloodshed and Chloe is not sure if she would want that . Although such will create room for her escape or doom, she's not sure of what will be the outcome and who will be the winner .At a loss at what to do , Chloe knelt down and clasped her hands together, in this moment of chaos the only thought that came to her mind was to pray .Funny enough she's not the type to believe in prayers and God but she's now earnestly seeking help from God."

Liam strolled into his study , his eyes were on the papers immediately he sat down behind his desk , his expression was grim and his attention was on it .His hand went to it as he picked it up to look at the cover page , or was a magazine of his newly acquired company .He didn't even bother to look further into it , he just tossed it aside . " Get me Jimmy "He ordered the guard at the door ." Yes, sir "He replied as if his life depended on it as he left the room without wasting a single time .A few minutes later he came in with Jimmy who was clutching a laptop , and he went back to resume his position at the door . " Boss ! " Jimmy starts " You need to see this ! " He dropped the laptop on Liam's desk, played footage and resumed talking ." Three hours ago , there was a glitch in the airport's CCTV I was monitoring like you ordered me to .

" Boss ! We have scouted the whole area none of Theddy's men survived . Luke's men made sure of that ,and there is no sign of madam" Stuart reported , immediately he saw his boss alighting from the helicopter." He did a clean sweep , what of Theddy?"" Theddy is in his office, his both legs were shot so he couldn't escape "" Seems like he left him behind as the witness , lead the way " The weary and worn out Theddy couldn't lift a finger anymore, he has lost so much blood , his body became numb , dizziness slowly enveloping him that he might slip into unconsciousness any moment.The stale stench of dried and fresh blood filled the room .He let out a defeated chuckle when he saw Liam step into his office, he knew his end was near , he could feel the angel of death waiting to guard his lost soul to hell .But sadly he could nothing about it ," So , Theddy , is that right ?

ItalyAt the Luke's mansion , the door to Rivero's study opened and Klaus stepped in, walked straight to a couch and sat on it . " You are right about Theddy involvement in sex trade , but only did he not do that he also messed up with our plan by abducting our target " Klaus said, as he lighted a cigarette " Yes, but what I don't know is why you left him behind for Liam to deal with despite my order to bring him back "' I can't tell you someone made me promise not to kill him 'Klaus only smiled at him" I thought about it , he's not worth risking a war between the countries. Besides he is a wanted man in his own country so he should pay for his deeds behind bars right ? "" And you think that Liam will let him go that easily ? "" On the contrary, No . But it is worth it to let Liam punish him on our behalf isn't it ? "" Why do I have the feeling that you planned this all along Klaus?
