"Nothing much, I was just checking it out" he replied, hoping the answers will be enough for her to stop asking questions.

"You were just checking it out?" Jenny asked, she was full of suspicion

"You are not thinking of buying that club, are you?"

"Fine" Colin sighed "I was thinking of purchasing it, But first there is something I must do before doing so"

"Don't even think of getting yourself involved in anything that has to do with that club, it is a club for criminals. You know what I mean, right?"

"Of course I do. They don't just do clubbing, they also sell hard drugs"

"Not only that. They sell innocent girls into prostitution, and they rape any female bartender who misbehaves until she dies" Jenny added.

"That's horrible" Colin gasped "if you know all these, then why haven't you gotten the police to arrest them?"

"Lack of evidence. After doing dirty works, they always get rid of all evidences. And you know police can't arrest without evidences" Jenny explained.

I was sent a picture of he and Marissa, in the picture, it looks like they were having a serious conversation" Jenny answered"They must have a lot to talk about" Colin yawned "I am going out for a smoke, see you later""What? I thought you quite smoking!""Smokers don't quite Jenny, they only take a break" He corrected"Hey! Don't you even dare light a cigarette!

Jackson kept interrogating him.He just couldn't understand how he entered the Club.The securities know the faces of who they should allow in"Your securities were not going to allow me enter so I came in through the backdoor" Colin explained, chuckling."That's a lie sir, I locked the back door and I am so sure of it" the security in charge said immediately"Well you didn't lock it well.

    Chapter 21 Marissa woke up early, she made breakfast, did the laundry and also cleaned the house while Martin was still asleep. She herself could not believe she is doing the house chores. It was new to her, Back at her home, she never did any of these, Colin did them all. But now she is no more at home, she is now with Martin who does not look like he gives a damn about it. She would actually love to discuss getting an housemaid with him but it seems he is still mad at her about the last time. So she just held it in. At least until he is no more angry. She was in the dinning room, serving the food when Martin walked downstairs, knotting his tie "Good morning" Marissa greeted awkwardly. He replied with a nod and then walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee "I already made breakfast, why are you making coffee?" Marissa asked "I have no intention of eating your food" he replied and gulped down the cup of coffee before walking to the door "What do you mean?" Marissa

I sent a spy because I was so damn curious about you" Marissa grabbed her own cup of wine and took a sip"Curious about what?""I mean, you claimed to be a poor orphan when I first met you but now you have a house, a car and I heard you have been visiting expensive restaurants" Marissa dropped the cup of wine back on the table "And you even served me a very expensive wine""So?" Colin raised his brow"So I am curious to know where you have been getting this money, have you been lying to me all these while? Who exactly are you?"

    Chapter 23 Axel sat in the living room, knitting a scarf and also watching the news. The news of Jackson Dream getting arrested had already been aired and everyone in the city now knows. But Axel was not bothered about that, although it was a bit surprising to him that Jackson Dream would be a drug dealer even though he appeared as a judge to everyone. He was only focused on the scarf he was knitting. He was hoping one day he would meet the Lady he met at the store the other day again and he would give the scarf to her. It was cold that day but she was not putting on a jacket neither was she using a scarfSo he wanted to gift her the scarf. Or maybe he could call her. He grabbed his phone to do so but Andrew and Jason walked in, discussing about something and laughing. "What are you watching? News?" Andrew asked as he grabbed the remote "It's the news about Jackson Dream. I can't believe he is a drug dealer" Jason scoffed "He looks totally normal on the outside. Turns out he

Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad

Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?"
