Her's To Take Seventy Seven
I was livid as I left the Mavil's corporation. Just like I thought, Zain had gotten to them while I was away. Not only had he gotten to me; he sabotaged any opportunity for me to at least lobby for the contract with him. He told them that I'm involved with a mafia gang and I was going to bring a lot of troubles to them. He had even provided evidence by showing them pictures and stuffs of I and Jaxton together. That bastard!! To think that I was going to let him be. Well, change of plans. If not for anything for what he did to Sarah, his going to become part and parcel of my revenge plan. I notice My driver glancing at me through the rear view mirror; he would look, look away and back again. " What's wrong?" I asked him. " Come on, spit it out already."He cleared his throat self-consciously. " Um, I take it the meeting didn't go well?" I sigh. " Yes, it didn't," I answered. He nodded his head. " Too bad, but you could always look for another company, you know," he suggested. "

The solemn looks that greets me as I look round the table, told me exactly what their answers. " There is still no word from him?" I asked further. " Yes," came the answer from Brian. " We think he's missing. We went to the apartment he stays at and it was obvious there had been a struggle there."Brian nudged Percy, nodding towards the Projector. Percy gave him the stink eye and I sighed. I forgot how sassy Percy can be. " Brian, could you do it, please," I advocated. " Allow Percy to concentrate on the task she has had hand."Brian nods, and gets up to do as I said. Soon, pictures were displayed on the projector screen. It was different pictures of Nutty's apartment taken from different angles. I leaned forward on my seat, concentrating on the pictures. " There is no blood?" It was a question. Despite the more than obvious signs of a struggle in the apartment, there was no single drop of blood in sight. I know they would have captured it if there was, but I had to ask to be sure

I can't believe I was hesitating. I have been wanting to get my hands on something that would implicate Jaxton; something that I could use against him but now that I had it in front of me, I couldn't bring myself to open it. I kept staring at the papers in front of me until Brian was done transferring Mr. Driver's file and disconnected the call. He thumbed through the section of the paper I had dropped in front of him and glanced at me." What am I looking out for here?" He asked. " I found that in a safe in Jaxton's office. I think it's some sort of logbook or something," I divulged. " Find his sources, be it drugs or arms. His connections in the armed forces, he has to have one to have stayed out of their reach for this long. Just find anything we can use against him," I concluded. Brian nods in understanding. He flips the pages. " I'm seeing numbers and names..."" Um, write those out on a separate book or your iPad, yeah," I instructed. " Write their connection with him, too. W

We had spent the whole of yesterday and the next gathering a lot of information. While Percy had been able to get us information on Zain, there were still some questions that I wanted answered. I think Sarah would be able to answer them. It was looking like she has been with Zain for a long while now, the information she has on that chip dates back to a long time ago, too. Sandy and my driver had spent the whole of the two days getting their hands on all of the CCTV cameras along the roads that leads to Nutty's apartment, and I have them in front of me right now, waiting to be attended to. They had gotten the dashcam, too but have been unable to get the cloth, apparently the police had done a good job of sweeping the apartment for evidence. According to Sandy and my driver, who I'm really impressed with by the way, there had been someone wanting for them at the apartment's garage. Apparently, whoever had taken Nutty, had used his car as bait to see who Nutty was working for. They

My eyes narrows on the big Projector screen and then My driver gasps as he recognizes the face also. I glance at him and back at the screen. " Isn't that...?" He starts. "Yes, it is," I answer, interrupting him. Sandy moves to the edge of her seat. " Isn't that the coffee shop opposite Nutty's apartment?" She asked turning to Mr. Driver. He nods in agreement, his eyes also glued to the projector screen. " I knew it would have to be him," Brian chips in. " He must have realized that Nutty is poking around his business."" Does it mean that he was getting too close to the truth then?" Percy asked, glancing at me. " If he wasn't a undercover agent, I'm sure he wouldn't have mind as that would even be to his advantage. For him to want to silence Nutty, I think he might really be an undercover agent."My head was railing. I think I need another cup of coffee to be able to process this information. I stand from my seat and make my way to the refreshment table. I poured another cup of co

I froze.No matter how much I will my feet to move and turn around, it wouldn't obey. I knew why. Not only was there supposed to be no one else here, there is also the fact that I have just a towel wrapped around my chest. Worse, that voice was very familiar. I could guess who was standing behind me, and even though I had plans to talk to him later on, he was the last person I want to see right now. I force my feet to turn around and it finally opens. I turn around slowly, my eyes meeting with the golden brown orbs staring at me from the door of the kitchen. God! That gaze, I had forgotten how it felt to be it's target. I was mesmerized and at the same vein it felt like I was being undressed under it. I resist the urge to fold my arms across my body. It would look as if I was scared of him if I did that. I stand there as his eyes moves from my head all the way to my toes. I resist the urge to squirm under his astute gaze. His eyes moves away from me to look around the kitchen, and

Jaxton shaked his head. " It's not as easy as that, Freya."He paused before continuing. " Getting to you wouldn't have been the top priority, Freya. They were really more concerned with getting those dogs arrested than setting your free. I... I.." He took a deep breath. He looked up and the vulnerability I saw in there had me taking a step back in shock. " I just wanted to get you away from those dogs, Freya, I swear."I could feel my eyes start to well up with tears. If that had been his intentions why had he become one of them? " Funny how you got me away from the dogs and became one yourself," I accused. If I thought he had looked vulnerable before, he looked worse right now. He looked broken and I could see the gulit and shame shining in his eyes brightly. I looked away determined not to let those eyes get to me. " You took exactly what you were trying to protect and in the worst way possible." My voice cracked and tears rolled down my cheeks, some trailing into my mouth. The

" Are you sure you want to do this, Freya?" Percy asked while still helping me get dressed. I was on my way to Zain's crib. I had a talk with Sarah after my talk with Jaxton, and it turns out that her brother had helped her escape but had not been able to do himself. According to her, he was most likely being held captive in the basement of the crib. She had drawn the blueprint of the house for me in Jaxton's absence, pleading with me to please save her brother. Jaxton had wanted to wait until the day of his auction, be had gotten information that Zain would be holding a auction soon; it turned out that it was even Zain that had suggested the auction to my dad. Sarah had panicked though when I told her that we plan to wait until the auction day to raid Zain's crib. She had said something along the line of her brother not making it until then. Since I know Jaxton would not be in support if I told him, I decided to do this without him. It was going to be a covert mission and I would
