Cade tried his best to stay focused for the rest of the event. He was surprised at how disorganized he had become. It was unlike him to lose his shit, especially when it had to do with a woman. He retained his sanity when Hailey, a very sexy woman, stripped naked in front of him. Yes, he had been a little surprised, if not a little turned on, he admitted, but he wasn’t rattled by the woman's body the way he was nervous now after meeting Raegan again. The last time they met, he was not so taken by her beauty because of the dire situation they had been in, and also because she looked so simple back then so she could blend in and not be noticed. If anything, he just agreed to have drinks with her because she asked, and because he wanted to be nice to someone trying to thank him for saving her life. But not today. Today, however, he could not take his eyes off the lady when her father tried to introduce her, and even when she walked away to her seat. He could see that was an exquisitely b
Gale's attempt at trying to reunite Cade and the president's daughter failed. He had written several times to the president to request a meeting with his daughter. His requests were not met, neither were his emails read. The truth of the matter was that Gale had been writing to an obsolete email without even knowing it. If only he knew about this error and channeled his requests to the right e-mail, then Cade and Raegan may have had an opportunity to meet and become friends by now at least. He gave up on his attempts. He would just have to find another way to help his boss.But the help he was seeking came to Gale on a platter of gold. The president himself reached out to Cade himself, requesting a meeting with Cade at the presidential villa. The reason the president was requesting Cade's presence at the presidential villa was to organize a dinner date for Cade and his daughter, and even though neither Cade nor Gale knew about it, Gale thought it was an excellent opportunity for Cade
Raegan led the way and they went to the garden. The walk to the garden was plagued with an awkward air so that Raegan began to hum a song and Cade followed suit, humming a different song and they both produced a disastrous melody together. The beginning of the date was even more awkward and disastrous than the walk had been. They got to the garden and Cade saw that as the president had said, it was decorated in the most romantic way he had seen. He wondered why the president had done this. He would ask Raegan. They sat down and settled into the environment. Cade cleared his throat. He wondered what to say. Raegan picked a shrimp from one of the plates on the table and crunched loudly on it. Cade did not know how to react to this. She also hadn’t answered his question on if she would be willing to listen to his explanation."So?" Raegan began. "Do you really have a valid reason why you stood me up that day?" She asked."I'm sorry. I totally forgot. You know my story about how I was mis
Cassandra had told her son of how Cade came to question her. She did not know what Cade was up to with his questions, but she knew it would be no good for her son. Alex was utterly angered by the information from his mother. What was Cade's fucking business in this matter? He knew too, that Cade was up to something. He is always up to something, isn't he? Alex did not want to tell himself the truth: he knew why Cade had interviewed his mother. And even though his mother did not know what reason Cade had come to her for, he could very much tell that Cade knew something he was not supposed to know. And for this, he thought Cade deserved to die. Cade was being too inquisitive, too determined. And Alex knew that if Cade found something new out, Cade would stop at nothing to expose him. "We have to take Cade out. This time, for real and for all." Alex said to his mother while he stomped around the room, pointing his fingers with every word he said. "Calm down, baby," Cassandra pleaded. "
The bullet went through Cade’s left arm and he groaned in pain. His guards immediately stepped forward to apprehend Alex or possibly beat the living daylights out of the boy but once again, they were held back by Cade. “You’re just a spineless bastard, Alex. You can’t beat me and you know it. That’s why you came here to throw a childish tantrum. Did you really think I would be afraid of you just because you brought a gun?” Cade asked and laughed.Alex’s face got red with embarrassment while Cade’s security guards were marvelled by Cade’s bravery and fearlessness. They didn’t understand why Cade didn’t want them to deal with Alex but they respected his decision. Alex was the one who looked weak to them. “Fuck you Cade!” Alex said and ran out of the place.Akex was furious. He hadn’t come there to kill Cade, but he wanted to at least intimidate Cade or make Cade afraid. But Cade had laughed at him and it made him even more furious. Now he wanted to kill Cade by all means but after thi
Cade had not seen Raegan since the incident with Alex. He did not want to bother her with his problems, so he did not reach out to her. But Cade did not know that this decision of his made the lady feel a certain type of way. Raegan did not like it that Cade had not reached out like he promised to. She was expecting his call the next day after their date, but it had been almost a month now since the dinner date her father had arranged and Cade had not called even once. He must have a thing for abandoning people, she told herself. This would make it the second time he was leaving her alone. She did not know it, but she was beginning to yearn for his presence more than she wanted. She wanted him to come around again and sit with her on that pretty little table and have shrimps with her, and look at her like he was longing to kiss her. She wanted the awkward silence and topics they discussed to avoid the murderous awkwardness that grew bigger with every moment of silence they shared. She
Cade had invited Ingrid over to his place while he was still at his mom's. He had scheduled their meeting for today, the day he left his mother's place and back to his own apartment. He hoped the lady would like to be there for what he called ‘a chitchat’ in his mail to her. When the lady reached out to the number he added on the mail, he was sure that she would honour his invitation. So, after the call with Raegan, he got ready and went downstairs to his living room to await his guest. He had the intention of recording the conversation he would have with her too. He reminded himself to begin recording once she came in. It was some minutes past five in the evening. Exactly when he had scheduled the meeting. He sat, watching the news as he waited for the lady. A crime scene was on, and the reporter was talking about a fight that happened in some remote location. But thank God for the cops who accidentally passed through the secluded route, they located the incident and arrested the me
The evening ended on a good note for Cade. Raegan called him as she had said she would. They talked till late into the night and by the time the call was over, both participants smiled themselves to sleep. They agreed on a time for when they would have the movie date suggested by Cade. But Cade kept the location a secret. He wanted to surprise Raegan. They would have the date during the weekend. Cade could not wait. Raegan herself looked forward to it. During the week, Cade got himself busy with work and curating his evidence against Alex meticulously. No iota of information was to be missing from his documentation. He wanted to make sure he had every evidence possible to bring Alex to book. But he would also begin gathering evidence for when Alex and his mother tried to kill him years ago. Cade was not sure which of the men had been in the car with him that day, but he knew it was not Alex's boys. They had been hired just for the purpose of killing him that time. After so many years
