CHAPTER 02 ~ THE MEETING

"Does she have a kid?" Keith typed his heart slamming against his body and felt disappointed as the guy replied back with a no.

"But are you sure she is the same person?" Keith typed away as his mom pulled his phone from him.

"Mom!" Keith shouted but she pointed at her father who is still in bed after the check up as Keith was focused on his phone.

"This was the reason I said I will hire caretakers for my father. You are always busy." she said but Keith kissed her cheeks and get his grandpa from the hospital bed to his wheelchair. "No care taker can care for my grandpa like me."

Saying he got his phone and putting it back in his pocket he pushed his grandpa outside and failed to hear the notification sound where his henchmen has sent Julie's photo and location and she happens to be the same woman Keith saw crying outside.

While at Julie's side, she is done crying and get back to her stronger self as her daughter needs her more now. She can't fell weak and lose her daughter forever.

"I will try to collect the money we need. I need to work on my job and also search for someone who can lend me the money. Please be careful and take care of my daughter. Sorry for lashing out on you. You did your best and always treated me well than how I was treated my whole life." Julie said and went out while grandma smiled and promised to be by April's side till she gets back.

"Boss, I need some money." Julie requested to the owner of the bar she works in who smiled at her willing to help her but as soon as hearing about the amount she needs his smile vanishes.

"I need 200k dollars and two passport to travel to Germany." she said and the owner turned her away immediately.

"Why do you need money?" a bartender from the sane bar and also someone who Julie considers a good friend asked her and Julie confess her problems to him.

"I have a solution but I don't think you will like it." he said with hesitation which make Julie suspicious as she slightly guessed what he is about to say. He convinced many people to do this job and this irritated her but she kept a straight face.

"Maybe you should sell yourself." Julie heard the bartender say and controlled her anger and started walking away from the bar as her shift ends.

"He will pay 2000 dollars per hour." the bartender continue and smirked seeing Julie stopped walking and looking at him hesitantly with her hazel green eyes. Those dollars can give her daughter best treatment.

She gulp down the pain in her throat as she prepared herself to sell her body to an unknown stranger.

"Ahem ahem" she heard the locking of door and turned around to see a masked man with familiar eyes but she can't make out who is that.

"I thought I spoiled your life." he whispered misunderstanding her situation as her eyes welled up hearing a familiar voice again. No this can't be. She told to herself as she came face to face with the guy she gave herself to years ago. "Keith?" and he stood frozen to his place wondering how she know his name.

Few hours back, As Keith took his grandfather home and made him rest he heard another notification sound coming from his pocket and took his out to see the photo of the women he wronged years back.

"I hope she moved on. I was worried what if she got pregnant and struggling somewhere. Now I can be little at peace." he thought to himself and walked out to his secret basement where he have a regular meet up with his henchmen.

Even though they work under him, he treats them like his brothers. He never got personal with them but whenever they need anything from him he is there for them.

"The Italian guy, he is coming from his trip next week and I need to get him off the city and from the world. He is dangerous." Keith said placing a file in front of them containing the Italian guy's bio data.

"But Keith you are saying you want to deal him with as Keith Anderson and not Kenny. It's dangerous." his right hand men, Eric said making Keith smirk.

"Why do you guys always underestimate me?"

"We don't, it's just.. " before Eric could speak, Keith said, "Don't worry just find the person I told you to."

"But why do you need a prostitute to take down him?" Keith remained silent and just smirked while the men understood his silence and they went out.

"You are a prostitute?" Keith asked in confusion like did she choose this after getting ruined by him or she was already one when he did that to her. More than that how did she got to know it's him when he is wearing a mask.

"How do you know I am Keith? And you are doing this since when?" Keith asked

"I am doing this just today." Julie's world made his racing heart calm but he lost his cool as soon as he heard her next words.

"I am doing this for my daughter, our daughter." and he knows they have no daughter.
