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
“So what's the plan?” Cathan asked Casper after he hung up the phone. They were foraging through the truckload of weapons to pick their favorite toy. This was who they were. Guns, blood, and bullets replaced their toys when they were still young. Right now, it was just like old times before Casper took over Blade Towers. Casper's expression was frosty, his tone was so acidic, that the air froze. “It seems I don’t have to deliver new weapons later.” “You mean?” Caleb sensed something hidden in his words.“Yes. It’s Angelo,” Casper revealed coldly, imagining what would have happened if he hadn't followed his instinct. Initially, he was upset that Angelo’s delivery got delayed but it seemed to be a great relief at the moment. He didn't have to order weapons anymore. He would use these and take the rest away without giving Angelo a refund.“The son of a bitch!” Caleb cursed. “Oh, he just stepped on the lion’s tail. He should have come after me alone but since he chose to mess with my f
Angelo fumbled for words, covering himself with the bedsheets. He had turned pale and moved like a frightened child, wondering how things turned around. The vehicle was moving when the bombs were activated so how did Casper make it out alive and who told him that Angelo was responsible?Was it Tino? But even Tino didn't know exactly what Angelo did. He just happened to be at the pool party when the announcement was made. Angelo kept thinking about the impossibilities that inscripted the fear of Casper in his heart. The emotionless Casper allowed him to cover himself with the sheets, not perturbed about whatever was going on in his mind. Knowing Casper, Angelo expected his revenge right away but seeing how calm he was, Angelo misunderstood the situation and tried to reach out for his scattered clothes on the floor. The stupid bodyguards. He paid a huge amount of money for them yet they allowed a lunatic like Casper into his room. When all this is over, he would put a bullet to their h
After Tino hang up, he was met with a cloud of murmerings. Undertanding had taken the Dons by surprise at how Casper had survived and obviously caused the death of Angelo as revenge but no one dared to voice their suspicion since they didn't have prove. While some thought Casper was a monster by eliminating a man's family and himself, other's thought Angelo deserved what he got. He was the one who attacked Casper first and all Casper did was to defend himself. At this, the best thing was to be wary of the ruthless Casper and not try to sabotage him because you won't survive it. Tino gained back his respect but a huge responsiblity laid on his shoulders. Uniting the don's and bringing peace was not something he could achieve immediately. It would take time but so was he willing to make the move. Casper got out of the car after speaking with Tino, leaving the boys behind to park the cars Hunter arranged to pick them from the hanger. His walk to the executive wing of the staff quarter
