"What happened? Caleb asked Cathan after he hung up. Cathan was as murky as a cloud of rain, making Caleb disturbed."He doesn't seem to need our services. From the looks of it, we will soon be jobless," Cathan voiced with a grim expression. The three of them used to be inseparable but it seemed that things had changed a lot since Jenna came into the picture. Casper spends every free time he gets with her. "That's Impossible. Our job is always secure." Caleb didn't know what was going on in Cathan's mind and responded with his understanding but when Cathan clarified, he was struck with a realization. "Well, we might be moved to guard somebody else if Casper continues to ignore us." There were other Blade seniors they could be transferred to but of course, Casper would still be assigned bodyguards whether he liked them or not. Caleb didn't agree totally and was about to respond when Hunter interrupted them. "Let's get this mess cleared guys, stop talking like women." He was a man of
Caleb had to think fast. He knew nothing about love and relationships. If he told Hunter that he lied, the raging man would fight him until somebody died, which would be another problem because if he killed Hunter, he would be in trouble with Casper and was certain that Hunter wouldn't match up to his level in a fight. Hunter was intelligent and strong but there is always somebody stronger than the other.“Thanks for giving me the chance. I’ll pursue her and make her fall in love with me.” Caleb was careful enough to not mention that he was in love with her this time. That way, he would have a means of escape. Thus, If Peggy didn't fall in love with him, then he was free. That was Caleb’s plan. But what if she fell in love with him? Judging from how the girl was crazy about Hunter, it was impossible. Hunter was satisfied that Caleb kept his word.“Good, and remember, I have never shared with anyone what I just shared with you.” There was a stern warning in his tone. He just gave his p
Casper changed his mind. He ordered some food and headed to the car park with the other bodyguards instead of cooking as planned. Hunter had alerted Cathan, the latter joining them too. It took a while for Armando to get to the underground car park since he was using the stairs and being with Amber, he was delayed. What he didn't expect was seeing the devil himself, waiting for him beside his car. He froze. The pale, yet terrifying look on his face was all Casper needed for satisfaction. Armando recalled what Casper did with his brother. Cupping on that, he was tight-lipped but Casper loosened the air around them."Mr Ciro, we meet again." This time, Casper was the one who addressed him with his usual style of greeting. The irony of the situation got Armando confused. ‘Casper looks calm and calculated, it’s as if he doesn’t know. I'm I just imagining things?" Armando's bodyguards wanted to pull out guns but Armando stopped them. It would just be useless since Casper could even catch
Jenna took Angelo’s silence as a confirmation that he didn't have proof which gave her the needed satisfaction. It wasn’t that she believed Casper didn’t have a hand in it but it felt strange. If Casper indeed had a hand in it, then she would understand that the guy was too smart to mess with but at the moment, she couldn’t sit and watch the guns pointing at him without proof, when she had been with him since they arrived in Rome. Even when she slept and woke up, he was right there. No way, it wasn’t him.Nobody spoke anymore until meals were served. Casper only spoke with the Grandfathers while he sipped his wine, his food untouched. The hall had turned a little lively and people were relaxed.Mattia excused himself and went to speak with a waiter. He wasn’t so interested in what was being discussed because he was enjoying his grandfathers' honor. From how Jenna’s question silenced Angelo, he foresaw that she wouldn’t be an easy target. Unlike the other girls, a greater part of Jenna’
Their short time in Rome was making her get to know Casper better. He was dangerous but also smart, intelligent and a skillful fighter. There was always a reason behind his actions so Jenna foresaw that he knew something she didn't. Casper didn't want her to be frightened but he also had to tell her the truth. Everyone in this gathering had ulterior motives. "I didn't know." Jenna was confused, having a gut feeling that Casper might be lying to her. "You didn't know? Then how…?" Casper was upset about the two men he just caught. So if he hadn't followed his instinct to lead him, then what would have happened? The imagination of it made his heart tighten painfully in his chest. His tone sounded bitter, coated with a desire for vengeance. "My instinct told me that something was off with Mattia and that special drink." Jenna frowned, perplexed. She only took interest in that drink because she hadn't seen it before, curiously trying to have a taste of it. "Special drink? Wasn't all dr
Hunter stayed at the door, giving the girls some form of privacy, or so he made them think. He was secretly recording their conversation because of how worried he was of Peggy. Inside the presidential suite, Kate had gotten the perfect opportunity to question Jenna about her suspicions. “Jenna, you've been avoiding us,” she accused her.Jenna shook her head. She didn’t know how to explain. “No, Casper doesn't let me out of his sight. It's like he's scared I'll go missing or something.”“That's good. I heard that you almost got kidnapped by one of the dons,” Kate carelessly revealed while making herself comfortable on the sofa beside Jenna. Peggy was already seated at Jenna’s left side.Jenna froze slightly, her mind combing for answers, as she began to piece everything together. The confusion on her face spoke volumes. “So that's what those guys wanted with me. What did I do to them?”Kate realized that Jenna didn’t know and began to curse herself internally. She felt like the gossip
Jenna was amazed at Casper’s psychological tactics. He wouldn't deny nor accept it, rather allowing her to form her own opinion of him, which was even more profound. Thinking carefully and in order not to sound accusing. She glared at him while she spoke, searching for something to stand on.“Rumours said that you went to the car park with Cathan. When I confirmed the time, it was around the same period I was asleep, which was the reason why I didn't know,” she responded tacitly, giving him no room to deny it.Casper wasn't upset with her accusation, her smart thinking was even more admirable. His practiced smile was flawless this time and he looked even more attractive, Jenna found herself falling for him again. “Great analysis but the point is, I only asked someone to tamper with his brake. Faced with danger, he could have jumped out of the car after realizing his brakes had been tampered with but chose to die. In that case, the decision was his.” He didn’t add the part where he as
What terrified people wasn’t about Casper shooting Mattia but how skillful it was done. Mattia laid lifelessly on the floor in a pool of blood. Due to the blood oozing out of his orb, it was as if his eyes were plucked out. Another part of his body that drew attention was his manhood. The three shots were well planned and calculated. Two to his eyes and one to his balls. Even if he survived, he would just become an air head. Thinking through it, Casper was learning quite a few things from Jenna. For instance, he could have driven a bullet through Mattia’s head and killed him on the spot but what would he stand to gain? Leaving him in such a vegetable state would make him a scapegoat to all. Just like Drake and Eve going to prison, their lives would never be the same even after they served their term, which was worse than death.Casper never left Jenna but only hid from the open when Angelo approached him. He spoke and discharged the man while watching Mattia’s every move. As soon as
