Viktor hopped into the car, and Amelia and Leonid were sitting behind him. The other men were taking a different car. Viktor's phone buzzed; he glanced at it. It was a message from Michelle. “She texted the contact information of her boyfriend.” He said this as he peered at Leonid through the rear view mirror. “I wonder why he chose to be anonymous. It isn’t so bad to show your face to your girlfriend.” “Perhaps he was shy,” Amelia replied. “They are going to meet today.” “Right,” Leonid muttered. “Their meetings might be too awkward, and I hope we pick up the right guy.” “I will give him a call when we get there.” Viktor responded. “The Christmas dinner party better go as planned.” “I hope so.” Amelia said. “Since Michelle invited Ace over, how many guests do you think would be attending?” "Twenty, I guess. It is a small dinner party after all.” Viktor answered. “We are seven attending the dinner party at Vanderbilt’s,” Leonid said. “That’s right, and I think we would be more
“We should get you in the car. If Michelle can’t identify you, we’ll do something you never imagined,” Anger said. Viktor turned around. “Let’s go.” Jonas picked up his bag and threw it over his shoulders. “After you guys.” Leonid took one last glance at Jonas before turning around and walking out of the coffee shop. The first thing he did was go to the car and sit down. Satan was still standing next to the car, and when he saw Jonas, his brows furrowed. “What is this fucker doing here?” Reaper asked loudly. Jonas stared at Reaper. “I am Michelle’s boyfriend; could I at least get some respect?” Anger rolled his eyes. “Whatever, get in the car.” Soon, Jonas was pushed into the car, and Viktor took the sterling after hopping in. Leonid, however, couldn’t stop thinking about Jonas. Since Michelle claimed her boyfriend was anonymous, Jonas didn’t look shy or nerdy. Only nerdy boys were shy, right? “Have you got him?” Amelia questioned. “He looks like the man next door.” “He is. He
Jonas walked towards the table where the rest were sitting. Leonid took one glance at him and looked away. Amelia was saying something to Satan, and Satan was nodding in response.Michelle took her seat next to Jonas.“I didn’t think you would come, boss,” Michelle muttered. “Selena also sent us an invite.”“We had to turn that one down to be here,” Amelia replied.Amelia glanced at Black, who was looking at Amelia with focused attention. She shifted uncomfortably and wondered why Black was staring at her like that.“Millie, could you tell your sister to stop looking at me?” Amelia requested. “It’s really creepy.”“I forgot to mention it; Black is bisexual and she loves both genders, and if she stares at you, you are really pretty,” Michelle responded.“I am married, and I am straight,” Amelia announced at Black’s hearing. “So don’t check me out.”Viktor appeared in front of the door. “Why do I always get forgotten? I was standing right outside, and you all couldn’t call me.”“How was
"Aleksei?" Leonid inquired. "We have no idea who he is."A message popped into the laptop, and Viktor glanced at it. He opened the message, and a picture of Aleksei and Yuri came into view. Leonid's brows creased, and a frown appeared on his face. Aleksei was the same man they had killed the other time at the bar.The words of the man rushed into his head.'You won’t get away with it if you get rid of me.''I failed to get what I wanted, but someone is going to do it for me; I am not scared.'That was what Aleksei had meant; he meant his brother was going to come for him, and that was exactly what was happening. Leonid teeth clenched, why does everything have to happen this way?"So you are saying the man we killed is Aleksei, and his brother is coming after us?" Viktor asked."I don't know about the man you killed." Sean began. "But yeah, he is coming for revenge. Tracking his watch, I can tell he is tracking some skinny guy with glasses.""How do you know that?" Leonid asked, bewild
“Hey Viktor, good morning.’’ Amelia greeted him as she sat next to him. “Do you have an idea where Satan is?”Viktor glanced at her. "Good morning, Sil. Satan is in his room.”Amelia sighed, the sound echoing through the room. A mixture of frustration and exhaustion was evident in the way she slumped into the chair. “He has a room, and I never let him use it; does he even sleep?”Viktor shrugged. “He does, but he can be a night owl sometimes.”“I should let him have more rest; why don’t you help me in the kitchen? Let’s prepare breakfast."“The maids already cooked; you woke up later than usual, sir."“I don’t have to wake up early.” She muttered. “I am on vacation, and I am not going to the office.”“Okay, the maid’s were setting the table when I last saw them.”“I wonder if I lost that necklace.” Amelia said as she placed her hand on her chest. “I can’t find the other necklace; did you see it with Leonid?”Viktor shook his head. “You can ask him yourself."Viktor's jaw flexed; he wa
At the mention of Jonas, Amelia found it hard to believe. Jonas had told them that he was Michelle's boyfriend, and Michelle had seen him herself. Amelia was a little confused; does that mean they haven't made a voice call to themselves? She knew no one could ever trick her that way."Does Michelle know?" she asked.Leonid's eyes narrowed, a subtle shake of his head indicating that Michelle remained oblivious. "We need to be vigilant. He could be lurking around the house, attempting to inch closer to us.""What do you suggest we do?" Amelia inquired. "He is going to be watching every one of our movements.""I guess so." Leonid placed a finger on his chin and thought for a while. "I haven't said this to Viktor, but I think we should let him get to know us. Since he wants to trick us, we have to trick him first.""Do you think that would work?""It might; we have to know what Yuri is up to," Leonid replied."We will keep an eye on Jonas," Amelia muttered. "Don't you think Michelle has t
Reaper and Anger arrived in front of the coffee shop. They had no idea where to begin looking for Ace. If Jonas had killed him, he would have probably hid the body somewhere, and there should have been news about a man who died. There is nothing new about Ace."Let's get ourselves some coffee." Anger muttered. "If we can start a discussion with the workers, We can find out if they have since Ace.""We don't even know what he looked like." Reaper replied. "There are a lot of people trooping out of this coffee shop.""We will have to try; come on." Anger urged.They walked into the coffee shop, and Reaper walked over to the worker. He picked up a car next to the table and ordered the type of coffee he wanted. He smiled at the teenage boy who was making his coffee."Did you see any guy who kind of looks rich with an innocent look on his face?" Reaper asked.The boy shook his head. "No sir."Anger grabbed a chair and took his seat next to Reaper. "You didn't see him? He was waiting for us
‘We have Ace,’ the message read.Leonid’s lips curled up into a smile as he read out the message. Viktor peered at the screen, as did Amelia.“What’s next after this?” Amelia asked.“We keep him here and go to the amusement park with Michelle. Viktor has to tell her about Jonas and everything that is happening,” Leonid replied.They were standing around a large table with a sheet of paper lying on it. Amelia watched Leonid draw on the sheet of paper.“Reaper and I will try to distract him and give Viktor the time to get to the roller coaster with Michelle. They can talk there,” Leonid pointed out. “If Michelle doesn’t want to deal with Jonas, we will have to think of plan B.”“Plan B: Michelle loves money, so I will have to bribe her to agree. If she doesn’t agree to plan B, we will threaten to get her fired,” Viktor suggested.Amelia frowned at him. “The third one is just cruel; we were the ones who brought a threat to her.”Leonid placed a finger on his chin and said, “Let’s go with
