The silence seemed as if it had been more than five minutes, whereas it was still few seconds. Diana was expecting the answer very anxiously, her gaze was focused on Simon’s face, she could see the uneasiness. The words that were going to come out of his mouth would do something to her, either positively or negatively. The fact that she was very worried about his reply shows she really had something for him, but she wasn’t going to believe it or acknowledge it just yet. Simon cleared his throat and sighed, he actually said those words just to win the conversation between him and Gonzalez, he didn’t even think twice before he said it. Nevertheless, with everything that was happening, what he said seemed like the truth, even though he felt this was just infatuation. He wasn’t going to lie but right now he didn’t know if what he wanted to say was the truth or not, he was still not convinced that he had fallen completely for Diana. It was too soon to conclude. However, he wondered what

Nick sat upright when he saw the seriousness on Nathe’s face, he moved his chair forward and leaned on his desk, staring right into Nathe’s eyes. “What did you say?” Nick questioned, willing to clarify what he had just heard. Simon sighed and also moved his chair forward, staring back at Nick with a serious look on his face. “I said, I know the mother fucker who’s trying to kill me, which means I know who put Angelina in that state,” Simon rephrased. He quickly took one of the many piece of papers on Nick’s desk and grabbed a pen from the pen bucket scribbling down something. Simon shoved the piece of paper to Nick and waited for his reaction, he was a detective; he didn’t need to tell him what it was. “Yesterday, everything happened. Turns out I was admiring a woman who was indebted to a dangerous man and he doesn’t want anyone near her.” Simon briefed, he crossed his legs feeling like he had achieved a gold medal. “You mean this person is trying to kill you, just because of y

“How long till backup gets here?” Simon asked, he was tired of waiting. They had been on standby for over thirty minutes, watching the building. Gonzalez may want to leave the house soon, it was almost 9am which was business hour. “It’ll take another fifteen minutes, why are you so worked up. It seems you don’t know who we’re up against,” Nick replied. They had moved to the back seat, watching the building with binoculars. “What do you mean?” Simon inquired, removing his gaze from the binoculars and staring at Nick who was busy focusing his gaze in his own. “Ryan Gonzalez is a mafia gangster, they deal in drugs secretly, but you’d never know. You cannot arrest them, since you would never find evidence; they also have people within the government who backs them up. If the police is posing a threat, they’ll fight back,” Nick explained. Maybe it wasn’t bad having a partner, if only he had given Angelina the chance for her to blend with him, maybe he wouldn’t be feeling so much guilt

“If it’s not the man himself, never thought I’d see you here , Simon.” Freddy said, without altering the hilarious smile on his face. “What’s going on Freddy, who’s this man?” Fisher asked, he was standing behind Freddy, yet he could see Simon clearly. Freddy turned around and looked at him, the smile hadn’t left his face. “This is the man I was talking to you about just now, if the rumors are true, then this is man Gonzalez tried to murder,” Freddy revealed. Simon and Fisher were both surprised at what Freddy just said. Fisher had never seen this man before, he wondered why Gonzalez would want to kill one of Freddy’s men when he knows quite well the implications of it. What surprised Simon wasn’t the fact that Freddy already knew who was after him, it was the fact that Freddy and Ryan Fisher knew each other. Nevertheless, the surprise didn’t last long, it was a normal phenomenon for two different mafia groups to know each other. Although most of them weren’t always in good ter

Diana took two steps backwards, her heartbeat slowly getting faster, she was looking into Fisher’s lustful eyes. Even though she knew this was exactly what he wanted to do in his office, there was no exact way to wade him off. For the main time, he was still her boss and she had to obey him. “It’s gonna be quick Diana, no one would know. Okay, here’s the thing, I’ll increase your salary, three times the normal pay. How’s that?” Fisher whispered. His awful breath stinging her nostrils, there was no way she’d let a man like this take advantage of her. What he just said irritated her the more, she felt like stabbing him in the face. “I’m not an escort Mr. Fisher, please leave me be! I’m satisfied with my payment,” Diana said, she glanced backwards, realizing that she was almost where the guards were. She had to find a way to escape, for one reason she couldn’t explain; Diana wished Simon would come through that door and save her. ‘When did he become your bodyguard Diana!’ A voice r
