Semua Bab The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother: Bab 211 - Bab 220

JACKIESpeaking to Saint made me feel a little relieved because I was able to convince him to leave that dead ass motel to somewhere else that Keith wouldn’t suspect. “But you have to fix this, Jackie,” Saint had told me. “I can’t keep running from Keith. You are not the only one who still needs to hang around him, or else, if he comes to me with this, I will just have to tell him your own crime,” he had added. I did think of ways to fix this, but that took too much time, and I also had to finish up with some of the work I had left hanging, and before I was done, it was very late at night, but that didn’t stop me from going to Keith’s office.When I got there, I knocked carefully and waited for Keith to ask me to come in because I knew that he wouldn’t have gone to bed.The door opened, and there was Keith, standing in front of me with his upper buttons undone. This wasn’t the first time I was seeing Keith like this; a little naked, but I could just never get over the effect it had

KEITH“Where do I begin?” Mia asked me as I stared at her, still trying to come to terms with the effect of my response.The truth was that after I slammed the door in Jackie’s face and returned to work, I hadn’t slept a wink. All night, I worked.I took every drop of hour and second of the night to go through everything that Saint had done for the last five years, and I began to notice too many discrepancies. My blind trust in him had made them go unnoticed. In the early hours of this morning, I had simply freshened up and changed my clothes, but returning to work and finding more faults had made me infuriated.How could Saint have done this to me and an Institute I entrusted into his hands? When Mia came in, I was still reeling in anger. However, I didn’t ask her to leave or keep quiet, and that was because a small part of me had been relieved by her presence. And now, I had gone ahead to give a response to what I should have said no to because I wasn’t paying attention to most o

JACKIE“Shit!” Keith expressed with deep anger and hurt after he ended the call.“What’s going on?” I asked.I didn’t hear what the caller from the other end of the phone said, but it sounded quite deadly, judging from Keith’s reaction.Did it have to do with Saint? Is he dead?That would even make everything easy for me because then, I wouldn’t have to go back on my words with Keith; it only made things more complicated.“I have to go now,” Keith said hurriedly.“But you haven’t said what went wrong,” I said.However, Keith grabbed his car key, hurried into his car, and zoomed out of the Institute at top speed. I really couldn’t tell what was going on, but after Keith left, I decided to focus on other things, especially now that I was here.“I really hope something tragic has happened to Saint,” I muttered to myself.It would be a great relief to have him completely off the surface of the earth.“Tommy, come here,” I commanded authoritatively. “I need you to take a message for Keith

MiaEver since Jackie revealed to me what happened to Keith’s former secretary, I had been shivering.Why was Keith always associated with murder? Maybe I shouldn’t have believed her, but Jackie wouldn’t have any reasons to lie, would she? “Why do you think this position is still vacant?” She had asked me dangerously. “Everyone knows what happened to her, and they wouldn’t want it to happen to them. Even though they had been given this job on a platter, they wouldn’t have taken it,” she had added, eliciting fear in my entire body.And now, I was asking myself why I eagerly put myself in harm’s way.I was still dwelling on that thought when a shadow fell on me, and I jerked in shock.“It’s just me, Mia,” Tommy said when he caught my reaction.“Jeez, you scared me,” I said.I placed my hand on my chest to steady my beating heart.“I am sorry. That wasn’t my intention,” Tommy said. “Can I sit?” He asked me.I looked at him and noticed that he had two food packs with him.“What is this?

JACKIEPatiently, I waited for Tommy, but this time around, I didn’t touch myself to prepare for him. I was furious with him, and so I needed to get that out of the way first.While I waited, I couldn’t stop thinking about Mia and how much hatred I had for her. It infuriated me each day to realize that she was still alive. Worse, she didn’t seem sick when I saw her earlier today. Even though I had tried to scare her, I had a feeling that that wouldn’t be enough. Without wasting more time, I picked up my phone and called Athena.“Hello, Jackie,” she responded drowsily, which was an indication that she had been sleeping.“Don’t tell me that you were sleeping,” I said angrily.“I am bored and alone,” she said.It wasn’t even 10:00p.m yet, and she was already asleep. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.“Is she dead? Is that why you are calling?” Athena asked with deep hope.I scoffed bitterly.“You lied to me, Athena,” I snarled.I heard a few ruffling sounds, and I knew that she was getting
