All Chapters of DANGEROUS LIAISONS: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Elon's POV"Walk with me."Douglas Chen, didn't even wait for a second to know what my answer would be. He simply turned, as he was already expecting me to follow immediately. And for the records...I did. That alone was supposed to scare me aware. "Not too earger to do his bidings." Fort murmured from the other side, his voice low and controlled. "You look exactly like you're the one doing the chasing, which shouldn't be." On noticing that he was actually right, I quickly slowed my steps, forcing it to remain at a casual pace. "I thought you wanted me to be close," I muttered under my breath, barely moving my lips to avoid him suspecting. "Well, let's say I want you alive," Fort replied instead, and I could hear him giggle from the other end. "There's a difference between the two " At this point, I greatly resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Chen led away quietly, which was from the crowded ballroom, walking past laughing guest, and those clinking glasses with false excitement, u

Lina's POV "You're staring again."I didn't care to look up, not even for a second. "If I ever wanted your unsolicited opinion, Viktor," I replied calmly, as I flipped a page on my tablet, "I wouldn't have wasted time to ask for it." "I've known you as someone that never seeks for second opinions," he muttered. "Exactly the point."It would interest you to note that the gala was still in full swing. From the music, to the laughter. There were fake smiles stretched on different faces. The kind that could easily hide two edged knives under their teeth. While all of that was going on, chaos still had a little space. It wasn't the loud kind, just quiet that not even a single soul noticed its presence, that only people of my kind could see. I stood motionless near the side of the ballroom, ensuring I was positioned just at the right corner to observe without making my presence obvious. Well, that was my job. I was tasked with the duty of listening, observing and remembering every sin

Elon's POV "Do not touch it for any reason," Fort finally said. "You don't need to tell me, because I already figured that part," I muttered. "It's better you did. Because, whatever is contained inside that drive...""... it's not just information," I finished for him. "Yeah, I didn't miss that part. I got the vibe." My eyes lazily drifted to the room, crowded with people that are laughing, dancing, a d those already drunk. Just looking at them, it was more of a battlefield. There was no sign of lives being traded like a commodity begin closed doors. "Fort," I called him slowly. "What if this happens to be one of those things? Like if turns out not to be a test?" "It's always been a test," he replied. "You just don't notice that."I tightened my grip on the glass, waiting for the opportunity to respond. "No," I said calmly. "What if it's a set up as the lady rightfully wrote?" That kind of get his attention, as I could perceive hoe his breathing changed."Explain that to me,"

Elon's POV Fort was standing vetu close to the end of the lounge, and I noticed he was speaking with one of his men. He was calm as always, calculated, a d untouchable. I could boldly describe him as the kind of man that has no business with chaos, but somehow, he owned it. My grip on the glass became tighter, very much tight that I almost shrank it like a piece of paper. "I'm not staring at him," I muttered. Dimitri didn't believe me, as he snorted under his breath. "Oh, I'm very sure you're not."I didn't mind him, instead, I took a slow sip, intentionally letting the the burn settle on my throat. Or at least, I tried doing that. Well, whatever I was planning, obviously didn't work, because, of a truth, I was actually staring. Or rather, looking at him. And to worsen it, I didn't quite understand the reason for my action. "You're kind of distracted."I heard Fort's voice behind me, low, but very sharp, startling me from my heavy thoughts. I became stiff at first, before I fina

Elon's POV Those coordinates. Why on earth would Fort tell Falcon to meet him at such place after the clash. What exactly was waiting at that particular location? I tried to stay calm, but my curiosity burned. Slowly, I did the next thing that came to my mind; pulled a piece of paper, and made sure to jot them down. **************I finally made my way to the room, but it was quiet. That was the very first thing I noticed the very moment I stepped inside. It wasn't the peaceful kind of quiet. It was the controlled one. The kind that only meant someone had made a decision that I wasn't in the position to hear anything beyond my own breathing. I carefully shut the doors behind me, very slowly. But no matter how calm that I was, the sound was still heard. I stood there for a few seconds, just there doing nothing. Funny enough, I was still dressed in the remnants of tonight's disastrous dinner dress. My body managed to be clean, but my mind was not. I could still hear the sound of Fa
