All Chapters of A Perfidious Relationship : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"I don't know about, what Chloe thinks it feels, I have nothing to do with her feelings but I could assure you for Duke. He is a demon with brain and no heart, he is least capable of reciprocating her feelings. So, it'll be good for her, not to expect something from my soldier."Enzo said in a warning tone and I could only feel bad for Chloe. I didn't know, what all parts, he spoke about Duke, we're correct, but if anyone, amongst us knew him well enough was Enzo. Duke wasn't only his soldier, he was like a brother to him, according to how I've seen him, treat Duke differently than his any other soldier. He trusted him with his life. And Duke deserved that trust, that makes him all more dangerous."Maybe. But I think I've seen him act differently around Chloe. You think, there could be a change in his feelings?"I asked, I knew Duke was treacherous but I still felt for Chloe's, one sided feelings. I was not willing to give up yet.&n

Benjamin was standing right at the door and greater me with a warm smile as he saw me. I reciprocated the action and was about to say something when he moved aside and I saw Alantino Russo sitting on of the chairs in our conference table. He was sitting so casually as if he was the owner of this property. The fuck was he doing here? My blood boiled seeing him and there was no way, I was going to spare him for this audacity. I walked right past Benjamin, I didn't care about him anymore. "How dare you enter my property?! Get out!"I commanded but he didn't budge. Just smirked. "What's the matter Valerie? Calm down. It's me who invited him here."Benjamin stated to my shock. Was he crazy to invite Alantino here? He already knew about our messed relationship. Yet he acted as if he didn't know anything. "What? Why have you called him here?"Was my obvious question, I lo

"We don't care about whatever business you are establishing in Milan. It's not my fucking territory and I don't care whatever happens here, Milan for me is only limited to Rexivo. So, I don't see any point why you decided to organise this meeting here and that too in our presence."Enzo retaliated and for once Benjamin listened without interrupting. "I am interested to do this illegal racing business with you and Alantino. You are stronger in southern Italy where the young inducted soldiers would be willing to take part in such racings. But as Milan is the common interest of illegal businesses and investors for it I would like to establish it here, instead of southern Italy."Benjamin said calmly as if he was the most polite man here. We better knew the truth!"And how the hell is it gonna be advantageous for me?"The question proved Enzo was considering the idea of Benjamin. 

I started observing his sharp features. The jawline, the nerves, his nose, closed eyes, eyelashes...and lips. They were so beautifully designed. He looked so angelic and no-one could tell how dangerous man he was, in this state. "What are you looking at?"He questioned as he found me glaring. "You looked so calm and peaceful."I told. "I'm nowhere near to calm and peaceful Valerie."He corrected me. Who was he lying to all the time, the world or himself? "Why do you do that Enzo?"Finally I mustered the courage to ask that after observing him for sometime now. "Do what?"He sounded clueless. "Why do you put on mask in front of people? You aren't completely emotionless Enzo."I tried to insert some sense into him. He was definitely trying to fake t

"I'm already getting late Valerie. Can't you cut this short?"Benjamin was evidently pissed now and I don't think we would have been able to keep him engaged anymore. "Or better I'll leave, my man would check the rest of preparations."He said as he got up and I didn't ask him to sit more. It would've sounded really weird and we did not wanna give him any thought to be suspicious of us. "Alright but if we have any queries to ask for where can we contact you?"I asked thinking he would tell me where he was going. Maybe his son's room or leaving the hotel. "You can call me or ask my man who would be present here."He said and left without waiting for our reply and when he was out of earshot, I turned to Chloe and Duke. Duke was calm as usual but Chloe was perplexed with the situation. "What do we do now?""I do
