Chapter 38Antonio's safe house was the best of the best. And that was where the three of them were headed. After all, he was wanted by the special police unit for his work. Although in truth, the dirty trail of his work would not have been uncovered had Elliot not betrayed him. Again, Antonio's jaw hardened whenever the sins of the man who was Rose's stepfather came to mind. If there was anyone Antonio hated, Elliot would be the only name he would write."Antonio?"The voice of the woman walking beside him made him gasp. He lowered his facial muscles that reflexively tensed up from remembering Elliot's past misdeeds and smiled faintly at Rose without breaking their stride. Coincidentally, the safe house that Nathan had managed to find for his boss was only a few meters away and not that far from where they had met earlier."Yes, Rose?""It's not that I don't know myself, but honestly... I'm still hungry," Rose squeaked hesitantly.Which was met with laughter from Nathan who was also
Chapter 39The sound of a knock on the door along with a familiar voice from outside disturbed Rose from a few minutes of sleep. She blinked for a moment before realizing that she had fallen asleep unintentionally."Hey, Sleeping Beauty! Hurry up and open the door, my hands are getting cramped from carrying your food you know."Rose rolled her eyes, that annoying Nathan again. There didn't seem to be a day that Nathan didn't bother her."Rose?"Rose let out an annoyed sigh. The noise from outside was really annoying and it was something Rose couldn't help. She got up from the bed where she had made love to Antonio last night. Looking back on it, Rose was at a loss for words. How Antonio's gentle touch could make her so tempted and even want more. The woman must have been crazy, Rose must have lost her sanity because of Antonio's attack last night. Absolutely crazy!"Rose? Are you-"The door suddenly opened and Rose stood before Nathan. Her eyes stared coldly out of the suddenly wide o
Chapter 40Rose tried to hold Antonio's body that forced her there. The attack by the burly man was inevitable. Rose's pink lips were crushed without a trace. Even in the first few moves, Rose couldn't breathe because Antonio was going at her blindly. It wasn't until the end that Rose strengthened both hands to push Antonio's chest away from her for just a moment."Ngh-Antonio, I can't breathe," Rose's high-pitched words seemed to scratch the man's ego.Those tanned eyes with a flash of passion bulged. There was a sudden look of disappointment and anger mixed in there. And suddenly, Antonio tightened his grip on Rose. "If you forget, I'll remind you. THAT YOU ARE HERE, BECAUSE OF MY MONEY. Remember that, little girl?"It wasn't Antonio, Rose thought. He was a monster.How could he possibly speak so clearly about money in a situation like this. Did Antonio not want her as a woman at all? Was his view of Rose really only between the lustful and the paying client?Antonio kissed Rose's l
Chapter 41***[Antonio, 9 PM]: Is she home yet?[Nathan, 9.02 PM]: I haven't managed to find her since this morning.Antonio rounded his eyes in disbelief. He scanned the content of the message Nathan had sent once more, then confirmed that the clock on his left hand was pointing to the same time as the time on his own phone. It was late but Nathan had given him some bad news. The feelings of guilt that had previously been faint were now becoming more pronounced and disturbing. He dialed the number on his cell phone and started calling someone on the other side.[Hey, Boss?]"What do you mean you haven't managed to find him yet? Didn't you say you were close to my house this afternoon, hm?"Antonio's tone which sounded impatient and annoyed made Nathan a little nervous. He then replied to his boss. [I'll check with the hospital, he might have come back to see his mother.]"Make sure you find her right now! Understood?""Okay, boss."Antonio turned off the phone and squeezed the flat
Chapter 42Nathan closed his eyes. The heartbreaking sight of his sister made his chest throb with pain. Lyla was crying in his arms. She didn't care about her clothes, which were already worn out, even torn in several parts due to being forcibly fucked by two strangers she met at the nightclub. The man who was familiarly called Nathan struggled to catch his breath, trying to get rid of the memories in his head.It was quite difficult at first, because the memories that sliced his heart that night were still clearly recorded in his memory. But after hearing a scream from inside the tunnel right beside him, the memory evaporated on its own.Nathan rounded his eyes. "It's Rose!"Then his body quickly ran into the tunnel. The same place where his sister was raped and lost her future that night.And sure enough, Nathan's tanned eyes that had been glazed over found Rose surrounded by a group of drunk men. Rose looked panicked and scared, while some of the street men tried to touch her.Wit
Chapter 43The sound of knocking and a door being pushed caught Antonio's attention. The man's eagle eyes then turned to the source of the sound, to the sight of two people who were familiar to him, Nathan and Rose.Antonio stood up from his long sofa after waiting for several hours. He felt happy, but did his best to hide it. So there was only a flat, expressionless look that meant nothing on Antonio's face as those blue eyes looked at him.Nathan lifted his face, looking proud. He shoved his hands into his pants pockets and squared his shoulders. "Here comes your woman, Antonio. Now you don't have to worry anymore because again, I managed to do my job right," he boasted. "Make sure you give me a raise for looking after this kid too, boss.""Nathan, go away," Antonio ordered coldly. "I need to talk to this woman."Which made the confident curve of his smile fade instantly. Nathan sneered at Antonio. But there was nothing he could do but obey his superior's orders. He saw Rose and wav
Chapter 44***Previous ChapterNgh-Antonio!"The sigh came back to Antonio's ears, making him feel high again for creating that euphoria in Rose. Antonio and his cleverness in playing the rhythm, made Rose forget that Antonio had even hurt her pride earlier that afternoon. No matter if she ends up being just his hired woman, or not even considered at all, Rose admits that she will always want this scene in her gray days.Rose tried to squeeze the surface of the sofa as Antonio moved beneath her. It felt absolutely unbearable that Antonio's tip was able to touch the secret spot inside Rose's body. Not to mention Antonio's very, very skillful movements, Rose is lulled by it. She didn't want to stop!"Did you enjoy it, darling?"The question sounded vague as Rose was still lost in a world of pleasure she had never felt before. She just gave a small nod and said, "Yeah, hm, sure!""Then, do we need to do three rounds tonight?"Rose rounded her eyes, looking surprised. But if she was alre
Chapter 45***The scorching sun dazzled Nathan's eyes even though he had covered them with dark-colored glasses. Dressed all in black, Nathan walked through the suburbs of New York City with great care. Since Antonio had become a national fugitive, Nathan's movements had been restricted. Antonio's name had been on the wanted list since the big raids at several points, so some of the big businesses they were running had changed. Whichever way you look at it, Elliot's betrayal has put the business on the edge. It was fortunate that Antonio still had loyal people behind him, so that the information that was kept secret did not completely leak into the hands of the police.Nathan looked up at the corner of the small building in front of him. A CCTV camera was mounted there, pointing right at him. Then casually, Nathan waved his hand, as if knowing that the owner of the CCTV camera would see him.And not long after, the door of the house opened. Nathan no longer raised his hand and waved.
