He scrutinized the young man standing before his desk with piercing eyes. “Yes, I know, and I am deeply sorry—” “That means you can’t interrupt my day whenever you want to,” he dismissed, his voice dripping with menace. Jaden wanted to retaliate, to tell him that the woman he trusted so much was scheming behind his back, using his name, but the words caught in his throat. The man wore a navy blue suit; despite the gray streaks in his hair, he exuded a sinister aura. A flashy watch adorned his left wrist, which he checked with impatience. His name was Samuel Anderson—a businessman by day, a ruthless criminal by night. “Yes, I know that,” Jaden said, feeling defeated. “I know why you came here, Jaden,” he said again, glancing at his watch as if measuring the seconds of Jaden’s existence. Confusion washed over Jaden. He couldn’t believe Sarrah would engage in such treachery. He had alwa
“Are you insane? You didn’t even tell me you’ve found a buyer!” Jaden yelled at Sarrah as he paced back and forth in the living room. “What difference would it make? It’s not like she gave you hope!” Sarrah scrunched her nose and gave him a disgusted look and added “You are pathetic, seriously.” He looked at her baffled and rooted on his ground. “Says the woman who sold her daughter to a guy she has never met before.” He said putting his hands on his waist. “Stop testing my patience, Jaden. I did what I did, and you aren’t in the position to tell me whether I am right or wrong. And quit with the betrayed act, I know you’re only mad because you didn’t have your way with her.” She said as her face darkened with the harsh truth. “Whatever, how much are we getting each?” he saw her grin at his question. He was confused at her reaction and didn’t know how to respond to it as he stood on his ground staring at her blankly. “What sick jokes are you playing? Answer me!” he yelled while
“Mike, I want you to hack on Caruso's base and see if they had any significant transaction or just anything suspicious.” Tobias ordered and rose from his chair. Rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, he added. “There's no way they could pull off such a major operation without leaving a trace.”“You are right. They must have stashed the drugs somewhere, right?” Mike asked while preparing to do what Tobias ordered him.“That's actually a clever thought to start with. They must have rented out a place to hide them.” Cassie chimed in, her eyes narrowing in contemplation.“And if they have sold them all, or even quarters of it, the market price would go down. So that means they still have them.” Tobias said his last words before Mike nodded in excitement and went out of the office in a jiffy.Cassie’s phone buzzed with notification right after Mike left the office. She picked it up to see Vicky's name on it and knew there must have been an update from the girls.“I will be back.” She said w
Cassie was left speechless after what happened there a moment ago. After a little while, when her consciousness kicked in again, she dragged herself on to where the bed was, and she sat on the corner of it with her hand on her chest. If it was physically possible, her heart would've jumped out of her ribcage by now. She just made out with her boss. A mafia Don who is capable of snapping her head in a second. But heck! How dare he leave her hanging there alone? She didn't spend much thinking before she headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower before she got in bed, changing her clothes. Tobias was also having it hard to calm his nerves after tasting what he was yearning for for a long time. He didn't even know how he was going to make himself refrain from devouring her again in the future. He sure as hell needed a cold shower to calm himself down. He tried to sleep after the shower but failed miserably as her soft body kept resurfacing in his memories. He needed her
The night was chilly and dark. The girls in the hut were cold beyond imagination. The little bit of hope they found earlier made them fight back the urge to give up. They were all feeling dizzy from hunger, and they hadn't showered for a long time. They were sitting close to each other to find warmth from one other when suddenly a man opened the door. All of them started backing away from the entrance when they saw it was one of the guards.“This is sent from Rachel, don't die!” He said while throwing three quilts on the ground. He locked the door behind him after that. The girls collected the quilts from the floor and put them on top of their bodies, but it wasn't enough for all fifteen of them. All of them were silent that night, hoping in their heart that woman would save them.…. “Cassie?” It was Michael who found Cassie in the hallway. “Hey Mike!” She said and hugged him, knowing damn well that Tobias was looking at her from behind.Michael felt daggers being shot at him by t
While getting out of the restroom, Cassie knew the mafia boss had something important he wanted to talk with her or maybe settle? Why would someone buy the daughter of a woman for millions when he for sure is capable of doing it forcefully? There is something unsettling about this whole having dinner with her alone ordeal. Tobias was tapping on his phone when Cassie reached the dinner table. Up on her presence, he turned his head up to meet her gaze. He was sitting poised with his straight, styled black hair, adding to his cold and powerful aura. Cassie felt her throat dry as his emerald eyes glanced over at her. but she shrugged off her fear or whatever nervousness she felt at that moment and sat down in the chair opposite to Tobias. Eventhogh Tobias is quite warm to her relatively, he isn't the friendliest person on earth for sure. “May I know how you found her?” She asked, facing the table while not daring to see his icy eyes, which sent shivers down her spine. “Don't
