Chapter 20
[KHALI]
“You did the right decision. Okay, girlfriend, where do you want to go?” I asked her. I love to tease Jane, and I love to see how her cheeks would turn red, despite her trying to keep her straight face.
"Anywhere, away from here," she said. I grinned and blurted out the first thing that sprang to mind, "All right, let's travel to Hawaii."
I laughed when I saw her shocked face. I never thought that Jane Terranova would be easy to deal with this time. I’m not saying that she’s easy to get. Maybe I just got lucky that we both have the same goal – to get rid of Nicholas Terranova.
"What?! Hawaii? I mean just within the country! I can't leave my job!" she yelled at me and was about to punch my arm. Seriously, those cute little hands can’t hurt me.

[JANE] How did I find out that she's a Mafia? I just managed to find out about Carmine Crea, the girl she used to love. I knew Carmine Crea; she's Nicholas's ex-girlfriend. Her family runs the country's largest pharmaceutical corporation. I had previously hired a private investigator and learned everything that had happened. It was also an arranged marriage between Nicholas and Carmine. Carmine called off the wedding and fled to a place where Nicholas and his family would not be able to find her. It was a secret to everyone and only known within Nicholas' family. I'm guessing Khali was unaware of it as well. Now, I'm suffering the same fate as Carmine. My private investigator told me some information about Carmine. Carmine was dating the daughter of a casino owner who also happened to be a Mafia member. I wanted to know what Carmine did to get away from Nicholas so that I could avoid the fixed marriage that my father is so obsessed with.&

[JANE] "Good morning, Ma'am. Someone sent this envelope for you," my secretary informed me as she entered my office. I was trying to focus on my work, but Khali's words kept on bothering me. "You can't fall in love with me." I scoffed when I remembered it again. I tried to ignore the lump in my throat, reminding myself that it was all part of the deal. I understand that Khali Luciano is incapable of loving, and it was pretty obvious by the way she treated me when I was in her flat. But she assured me that she would never harm me. Which one is the real her? Is it the ruthless Khali or the gentle and sweet Khali? Is this all a part of her act? Perhaps I'm just a pawn in her scheme. I swallowed the lump in my throat, thinking that she might never be genuine at all, and I had utterly fallen for it. My attention was brought back to reality when my secretary placed the envelope on my desk. I know it's the contract. Kh

[KHALI] ~Flashback~ Those misty eyes looked straight at me. Before she turned away from me, a tear spilled from her eye. I could tell she was upset. She turned to face me once more, but this time with a smug grin on her lips. “Are you kidding me? I won’t fall in love with you Khali,” she muttered with an arrogant sigh. She’s faking it, and she’s failing to hide it. Those eyes never lie. She already fell for me. She can’t do that. She shouldn’t do that. “Good. It's better if we're all on the same page," I can still see the despair in her eyes. Why? What does she want me to do? I’m not the person she thinks I am. I’m a monster, and she needs to see it. I have to show her that I am incapable of loving anyone. ~End of Flashback~ I predicted that she would freak out when she received the contract, and I was right. Now she’s stuttering over the phone after I answered her call. "I...I need to speak with you about the

[JANE] >> From Rov:Hey Jane, do you have an available time today? Can we meet?<< Rov sent me a message inviting me to meet her. She is apparently returning to the United States tomorrow. Even though it's only been half a day, my energy has already been drained. Do I have enough energy to meet Rov? Rov has been very considerate to me. I declined her invitation to go out the last time and assured her that I would find time to meet her before she leaves for the United States. It will be unfair, and I might regret it if I will just let her leave without meeting her today. I let my head roll back as I tried to relieve the strain on my shoulders. I was too lazy to type into my phone, so I just dialed her number. “Hello, Rov?” I muttered on the phone. “Hey, gorgeous. Do you have time today? I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm truly going to miss you," she said si

[JANE] Rov has always had this enchanting charm and an incredibly sweet nature toward me. She's like the epitome of a classy lady, treating me with so much respect, taking care of me, and always thinking about my well-being. Seriously, anyone who turns her down must be out of their mind. She's like the perfect girlfriend material, with this irresistible charm that just draws you in. And when she narrows her eyes and gives you that radiant smile, it's like the cutest thing ever. Her smile can just melt away all your worries and make you believe that everything's gonna be fine. Being around her just makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. But then, there's Khali. There's just something about her that keeps pulling me back. She's got this mysterious aura, and I'm so curious to explore more about her, even if it means there might be some risks involved. I know it sounds crazy, right? But that's how powerful her attraction is. It's like taking a leap into the unknown, defying all logic.

[KHALI] “You’re changing,” Jey muttered. I shot her a questioning look as my hands fumbled with the cards. “Changing? What do you mean?” I asked. “I think Jane has a good influence on you,” she didn’t answer my question yet struck me again with her confusing statement. "I'm not sure what you're on about. So, is she okay?” I replied, trying to maintain a casual demeanor in order to avoid additional probing by my best friend. When she got back to my flat, that was the first thing she said to me; that I’m changing. I'm not sure what she and Jane talked about, but it gives me the creeps. “I would be lying if I tell you that she’s fine,” I paused from shuffling the cards and stared at her, expecting her to continue. I know she’s not fine, and I think I'm the one to blame. "What have you been up to this time? Jane is my friend; you can’t do that to her,” she scolded, and I simply averted my gaze. I sighed and cli

[JANE] I tried to hide my flushed cheeks from her. Her words totally embarrassed me, and I couldn’t look at her until I felt her face leaning near my ear again. "That dress looks good on you," my heart fluttered with her compliment, and I couldn't help but bite my lip to suppress my growing smile. This is so weird. Why is she doing this? I inhaled silently and breathed out to calm myself. "Thank you," I finally managed to say. I was expecting her to tease me even more, assuming her compliment wasn't real, but all I heard was silence. "Where is the arrogant Khali Luciano? What did you do to her?" I half jested. Part of me wants to know why she is acting this way. Why is she teasing me? And then complimented me, making my heart flutter, but then she didn’t want me to

[KHALI] Jane asked for a week to make her decision before signing the contract, and I agreed with it. I know this set-up is unusual for her, so it's only fair to allow her ample time to prepare, but it's been about a week, and I haven't heard from her. I decided to call her phone just to see whether she had made up her mind about accepting the contract. Honestly, this isn’t something she can just refuse since her life is on the line. I started to call her phone, but it only directed me to the network operator. Did she change her number? I tried again but received no response. My mind questioned aloud where she was. I hate overthinking things, so I asked Jey for help in contacting Jane. I'm not sure whether she ever blocked my phone number, but it’s absurd if she did. “Dude, can you call Jane’s number? I couldn’t reach her,” I told Jey as soon as she answered my call. “Why? Did anything happen?” Of course, it’s natural for Jey to ask. She’s a person full of curiosity and suspicio
