Chapter 12
Gesturing towards my right hand man, Charles to come a little closer, I told him to round up the speech and make sure everyone exited the building in an hour, and that we’d talk on Monday. Gesturing with my head at Aria, who carried her laptop along with her as if we still had a lot of work to do, I led the way outside while she followed close by, her heels clicking on the floor as we made our way towards the already running car.
“How was it, boss?” Lucas inquired as he pulled out of the office and made for my mansion. I looked at the space beside me and shook my head disapprovingly on seeing Aria sitting as stiff as possible on the far side of the car seat.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Relax, Ri.” I muttered and watched as color rushed into her cheeks on using the name ‘Ri’ on her, the thought of the position we were locked in before that call came in rushed into my head in waves, starting from when she turned into a bold and sexy vixen in the twinkle of an eye, before she gave me a heavenly blowjob, then holy shit, I was about to throughly eat the strength out of her before everything went southwards.
I sat more straight in my seat, ignoring the color still staining her cheeks, I’m guessing she was thinking about all what happened yesterday at the office.”
“Boss?” Lucas called, reminding me of his still unanswered question.
“It didn’t go well, it went the complete opposite way, actually.”
“Wow,” Lucas drawled and I couldn’t agree more.
“A sniper’s hit got him at the throat when I was crouched beside him, which I figured immediately was meant to go into my own neck. On getting to my office, some men held my secretary hostage and attacked me with knifes. They’re all dead now and still at the office, they’d be taken care of tonight.”
“Shit, all those happened in just a few hours? Damn.” Lucas marveled and I nodded in reply before continuing.
“The same guys attacked home too, I don’t even know where they’re from to begin with.” I resisted the urge to run my fingers through my hair in frustration, my brother was still held hostage and I don’t know if he was even being treated well, and now this?
“Um boss, we’re disposing her, right?” Lucas asked as he nodded his head at Aria who wasn’t as she was moments ago.
“Huh? Disposing who?” Aria demanded frantically, her body coiled straight like an arrow as she glance at my face while waiting for answers.
I breathed out a sigh before replying to Lucas firstly, “No, Lucas. We’re not disposing her, she was dragged into this mess because of me, but she’s stuck with us until we figure all these out, at least.” I paused and turned my head sideways until I was staring into her eyes before murmuring softly, “I told you you’re going to be safe with me, nothing’s gonna happen to you, yeah?”
She calmed down visibly, after blinking a few times, she nodded her head and replied with her gaze still locked with mine, “Yeah.”
“Boss?” Lucas called.
I teared my gaze away from Aria’s and focused on Lucas before replying, “Yeah, Lucas?”
“I think we’re being followed.” Lucas replied, his gaze shifting from the rear view mirror to the side view mirror of the car.
“Shit.”
