Chapter 21

Donald’s POV I knew something was off the moment I stepped in. Delmont was already seated at the far end of the boardroom table, a fresh cup of black coffee is placed in front of him. The room is too quiet. No board members, no assistant just him. “You’re early,” I say. “So are you,” he replied without looking up. “I told them to take their time.” My chest palpitates a bit. “Why?” “Because I wanted a few minutes with you,” he said, finally meeting my gaze. “One on one.” I move towards my seat, cautiously and slowly. I pull back a seat and relax into it. “We could’ve scheduled that.” “But then it wouldn’t be spontaneous,” he says scribbling something into a note. “And spontaneity reveals things.” I stare at him confused. He is seated at the end of the table. He’s fingers are laced together. He just keeps looking at the papers in front of him. He finally looks up. His tone is sharp. “What the hell were you thinking, making that move without telling me?” “What do you me

Chapter 22

I decide to take a walk around, I am putting on a coat. It’s a little chilly outisde. I reach into my pocket for my phone. Rebecca’s message is still there. I stare at it for while, I am really not up for dinner with family. But meeting her mother might give me the information I need, if Rebecca’s playing me or not. Would someone who wants to ruin my life invite me to dinner with their mum? I am not sure anymore. I type out a reply sure, why not and hit send before I even get to change my mind. I pass by an ice cream truck. I notice a little boy holding on to his mother. Literally dragging her to the truck and pointing with excitement. “No Jon, not today” “Please mum,” I hear him say. I stand there for a while hands in my pocket enjoying the charade. “Come on boy, I would get you ice cream” I say walking over to him. “Can I get little jon some ice cream?” I say looking up to his mum. “Say yes” he is prancing up and down with his hands held high. “Oh, please don’t bother,

Chapter 23

Rebecca’s POV I have changed my clothes three times already. The first one felt to formal, the second felt too casual, and the third. Well now I am staring at the mirror. Wondering if this gives a You are highly welcome and make yourself at home kind of feeling. I smooth the fabric and drag it down. It’s just dinner. It’s just my boyfriend, kind of meeting my mother. “Rebecca!” Mum calls from the downstairs. “Can you check the oven? I think the chicken might be burning” I rush out of the room reserved for me, and head to the kitchen. I yank the oven door open. A wave of heat hits me. It isn’t burning but it is turning brown faster than it should. The kitchen smells like rosemary and garlic. She has gone and outdid her self again. Baked potatoes, that cheesy spinach thing that she makes in special occasions and a bottle of fine wine is placed on the counter. For a woman who has moved on she sure knows how to cook for a gathering. I walk over to the pot and stir t

Chapter 24

Donald POV My hands drop from the door bell, I shift my weight from foot to foot. I am suddenly aware of how stiff I look in this Blaizer. I have been in rooms full of people who wanted me to fail. I have sat at tables with contracts of billion dollar deals. And yet here I was, fidgeting and sweaty because I was about to meet Rebecca’s mother. The family of the man I am supposed to despise. Makes me anxious. I wouldn’t be here if Rebecca had not told me her parents had gotten a divorce and her mother lives alone. I hear footsteps and in a few seconds the door is opened. And standing in front of me is Rebecca. Her hair is curled at the tips. She has on a satin floral gown. Putting on a red lipstick. She looks comfortable, like home. “Donald! You are here” “Hii” I say, flashing perfect set of teeth’s. “Come in” she looks overly excited. The house is bigger than I thought. It smells like food and flowers. Something is baking in the kitchen. And there is something else.

Chapter 25

Olivia The kitchen is finally quiet. The hum of the fridge is the only thing making this place have life now, After the clinging of cutleries, the chatter in the room a few moments before. I have cleared the dishes, wiped the counter twice. Anything to keep my hands busy. And now I am standing at the sink letting the water run down my palms longer then it needs to. Dinner was nice… there was a calmness with the way the dinner flowed. No underlying tension. Rebecca seemed lighter, more like herself than I have seen her in a long time. She hasn’t brought anyone home in years. Not since the divorce. Not since she built that wall around herself and decided it was safer to keep everyone out. My sweet little Rebeca. Always trying to be strong for everybody. I didn’t ask her anything. I never do. Maybe I should have, but I’ve learned it’s better to wait for her to come to me. And Donald, he wasn’t overbearing, not eager to impress, but there was something about him. He wasn’t the

Chapter 26

I am seated on my black leather chair. The room is dark except for the light seeping in from a slight opening in the curtain. I haven’t moved from the chair in hours. Theo’s name sits heavy in my head. There is a knock on the door. “Come in” Leon walks in. He’s staring above my head like he is avoiding eye contact. “He’s awake” he says. “A bit weak, but he is okay.” “Let him go, Clean him up. Give him something to eat too” He turns to leave, then turns again. “Should I put him back on rotation?” I shake my head. “No, not for a while” He hesitates and puts his hands inside his pocket, wearing that old black hoodie he always wears. “Alright” he finally says and leaves. Theo has been in the basement for almost a week now. It’s either he is too stupid or he really doesn’t know anything. And I go with the latter. He looks to innocent, to naive to be disloyal to me. Still I sent him down there, just to be sure. I am still on in my thoughts when there is another knoc

Mike. I will not confront her not yet. There is still so much I don’t know. So many things I did not see before. And now that I have seen this things. All the things I brushed off as Bianca just being Bianca because I thought they were harmless. I want to act. God I want to. But I need to be calm. If I have learnt anything from this world, it’s the person who speaks first often looses first. I won’t make accusations she can twist around. I need concrete evidence. Two can play the game she’s trying to play. I keep calling out Lucia sensori In my head. Trying to hard to make a connection. On my way back home I pull up infront of a flower shop. I mean, why not. I stop at the most expensive one on this side of town. I make sure of that. Exquisite show glass. Everything is white and delicate and over priced. Something that looks like it was taken out of a magazine. I walk and in and the bell rings as I open the door. There is a woman standing behind the count

Chapter 28

MIKE we are on the couch. The TV is on, a soap opera is playing. She is sitting beside me covering herself with a duvet. the lights are off. She is curled like she’s paying attention to whatever is playing but I know she’s not. She hasn’t said much in the past fifteen minutes together. Then her phone buzzes. I glance at her and she glances back. She check it quickly like she has been waiting for it. I notice how eager she is to leave. “I need to return this” she says already getting up. “It’s work” She doesn’t wait for me to respond. She is already halfway out of the room. I don’t say anything. I just keep staring at the screen, I lower the sound from the tv absentmindedly. Then I hear the sound of the door at it closes behind her. I count to five in my head and stand up slowly. I move towards her direction, on tiptoes. I walk down the hall way and stand a few feet from the door. Close enough to hear. Her voice is low, I am straining to hear. “I told

Mike POV I am at home when my phone buzzes on the kitchen counter.I don’t rush for it. I Just keep rinsing out the coffee mug in my hand, the one Bianca used this morning. Her lipstick stain is still on the mouth of the glass. She stepped out. Out to catch some fun with the girls she says. Friends I have never met and she also doesn’t want me to. Because in quote “she wants me all to herself” The phone buzzes again.I dry my hands on a dish towel, walk over to it, and pick it up.Elias, the guy I told to look up Bianca.

Chapter 30

For a second, the place is spinning around me. The jazz cuts at the background and a slow song fades in. My fingers tighten around the glass. Not a cop. Not a snitch. CIA Not the Kind of threat you threaten back. “Say that again” I say He doesn’t repeat himself. “Are you sure?.” “Triple checked. She’s embedded Deep. Her Official files are locked very tight, but the agency tag came up in an old clearance system. She’s been active since 2018. Drugs, international surveillance, covert infiltrations. This is Some High level shit we are talking about here” I lean back slowly, like I’m trying to look calm like I’m not already running through every night, every word I ever said to her. Every time I let her into my home. My head, My chest, my bed. It was a setup. All of it. The air in the room feels intoxicating all of a sudden. I adjust on my seat. “She has been in my bed,” I say quietly. “In my house.” Elias doesn’t respond. He knows. “She knows everything. Things I have
