Chapter 26
Chase walked into the dungeon, the soldiers opened the cell for him and he entered. Pulling out his laptop he opened it and click on a particular picture.
“Did you recognize him?” He asked the man who was already covered in blood.
It’s been two weeks since he was brought and kept in dungeon but he’s too stubborn to talk, much to Chase’s disappointment.
It’s true that no junior Mafia is allowed to leak the information of his boss , but sometimes they do. When they’re threatened with their family.
But this man have been a hard nut and Chase had already gotten tired of him.
He’s just a waste.
He had travelled out for two days with Tyrell and they’ve flew to Cambodia , the city which he heard his father’s brother lived.
But turns out, he haven’t been coming in for the four years , which makes him more suspicious.
He isn’t really sure his uncle will try to hurt his father by starting with his sons. No Mafia does that .
Mafia’s takes revenge directly to the person who offended them and not the only way round.
Edward had been in the Mafia game, even when he hadn’t taken it so serious, but he knows the rules of Mafia.
“Even if I did, you think I’ll say? I’d rather die than tell you heartless man what you yearn to hear” The man interrupted his thought.
Chase nodded and out the laptop away. He waved at Tyrell to come over and he obeyed.
“Get rid of him” He told him.
“Shouldn’t we keep him for a little longer? I believe he’ll definitely say something”.
“It’s been two weeks, he won’t bug. Get rid of him and send his corpse to his family. I’m going out to have some drink” He said to Tyrell who nodded.
Tyrell turn and nodded at the soldiers who understood the assigning immediately and drag the man up. He could barely walk and his face was already disfigured.
“I’ll make your death easier for you” Tyrell told him before telling the soldiers once more to get rid of him.
Chase walk out of the building, it’s already late at night and everyone was asleep. He entered his car and drive off.
Actually, Chase was taken by surprise when he saw Charlotte at his apartment, he hadn’t expected to meet her.
Charlotte had disappeared after the one year death anniversary of her twin sister Madison. No one had heard about her. She also hadn’t show up on the rest of Madison’s anniversaries not even her parents too.
So, seeing her once more was what Chase hadn’t expected.
He stops his car at a bar and walk in. He found Gray immediately and walk up to him.
“How did things go this two days?” He asks once he’s settled.
“No movement. Godfather didn’t make an order, he told all soldiers to stay down” Gray tells him.
Chase ordered for a hot drink, he poured it into his glass and gulp it down before he continued.
“Did Waylen come around?..”
Gray shakes his head negatively. “No”
“Chase, I need you to see something” Tyrell suddenly said.
More like something he had been planing on how to say.
“What?”
“While we were checking the CCTV footage of what happened at the warehouse the day of the robbery, we find this” Gray said and handed him his phone.
It was a footage of a man who had came into the warehouse after Waylen did, and he stayed on an end while pretending to drink.
“I think someone from Godfather’s soldiers have a thing to say”. Gray said.
Chase didn’t say a word and continued watching the footage.
“Can you pause this right here” He said and Gray nodded and paused it.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Send this to the quarters, get a clearer view of the tattoo on his hand. We can’t see his face so definitely we can’t recognize him, he doesn’t seem to be one of my father’s soldiers. Find out which Mob home that tattoo belongs to” Chase told him.
Gray zoom the photo and of Ofcourse, there was a tattoo but it wasn’t so clear. Only the quarters can zoom it further.
Gray breathed down.
“I haven’t noticed the tattoo early. I’ll send this to Mr Wen, I’ll send you the report tomorrow” Gray said and Chase, without a word nodded.
“I’ll head back now.” Chase shake Gray’s hand before walking out of the bar.
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I woke up just when my alarm was about to ring. I shut it and made my into the bathroom, I had a shower before walking to my closet.
What happened last night displayed in my mind and I couldn’t even think of having breakfast with Charlotte sitting there.
She’s the one who sinks and need to handle her shit.
I put on my cloths and grab my handset before walking to my door. I opened the door same time Chase’s door opened.
He walked out of his room dressed in his shorts and he was shirtless.
Oh holy crap!
I had to hold myself to not scream, I’ve never seen him get out shirtless, is it because there’s Charlotte?.
Our eyes locked with each other but I looked away first, I’m so fuckin mad at him and it’s weird that I don’t know why.
“Good morning Mr. Chase” I greeted him and made to walk past him.
He grab my hand and pulled me to himself, my eyes widened as I was just resting on his body. Our face almost touching each other.
He pulled his face closer like he was gonna kiss me, my heart had immediately stopped beating.
Slowly, he let go of me and walk away.
I turned to watch his retracing figure. Did I just imagined thing or it’s just the bad boy being a pervert?
Feeling disappointed on how I have make a fool out of myself, I turned and walk downstairs slowly.
With each step I take, I felt like I’ll lose balance if I’m not careful.
What was the meaning of what he just need? A question, only him can answer.
Walking out of the building, Tyrell walk up to me smiling.
“Good morning” I greeted him first and he nodded.
“You look cute today”
“Stop flattering me” I said and smile.
Tyrell led me to the car, this time, the car was different from the one user the whole of last week.
I entered the car and greeted the driver, he responded before driving out of the compound.
Throughout the drive to school, I couldn’t deny the fact that I really doesn’t like Charlotte. Her words from yesterday had hurt me so much .
It’s pretty obvious Charlotte hates me even when we both don’t know each other.
She isn’t the daughter of the Gotti’s!
I turned to look at Tyrell who is just looking out of the window.
I wanted to ask him who Charlotte is to Chase but I wave it off. Why am I worried about she is to him than how to overcome her bully?
