The Stranger He Became Chapter 131
“Damn it, Chloe!” Three tedious weeks had gone by and Max hadn’t been able to get through to Chloe. She wasn’t willing to hear anything he had to say, he felt totally excommunicated— a sentence which he believed that he had completely deserved. He had expected her to at least pick up the phone this time to give him some glimmer of hope.Nothing else made sense in his days and nights anymore since she’d thrown that ring at him. It felt like he had his entire world thrown at him with it. He had nothing else to look forward to after dreadfully long hours at work. All his plans of marital bliss were about going down the drain, but he wasn’t going to give up without a fight. He would prove it somehow to Chloe, but for the time being he had to take care of business.“Mr. West,” Mr. Singh’s smile was wide and brilliant. “Thank you for coming over on such short notice.”Max had to put on his best smile as he reached out for a handshake. He remembered that he also still kept the secret of his

“That slut…” Mrs. Kincaid was cut short as her seething emotions wouldn’t let her complete her words. “That slut…has really got the nerve, pulling off this one on us. Is there anything that can be done, Harry?”“We might still have a chance with the case if we can get anything more incriminating that can be used against her,” Harry said, turning slowly in his chair, with a slightly worried look on his face. “Of which I believe we are yet to find.”Kylian was silent throughout the meeting in the attorney’s office. All the talking made his bandaged temple hurt. It dawned on him how desperate Emma was to ruin him and how unprepared he was for the battle. He constantly weighed what he had to gain and what he stood to lose and questioned if all the wear and tear was worth it.“She has us right where she wants us,” he hated watching his mother tear herself apart because of the entire case. He wished she could buy into his idea of just letting go, but then, he thought it better to stay quiet

“I’ll have to call you back, Chloe.” Ollie had hung up before she knew it.“Oh…” Chloe said. She hadn’t expected to hear such a thrilling story of what had gone down the day before.Chloe put her phone on the kitchen table and glanced up at the ceiling and down. What the heck am I doing? She was clueless about what to do with the long weekend— an awfully long weekend without Max.She had been too pained for the past couple of weeks to realize that she missed him. The feelings of hurt had subsided and now she felt the all-too-familiar feeling of loneliness and boredom haunting her in her house— which Max had helped her get. Everything around her just seemed to remind her lonely broken heart of him.Repeatedly, all through the past two weeks, she had told herself that she would consider moving out but had been too caught up in work to even make a phone call. Besides that, the thought of moving for the third time in a year deterred her. The excuses kept going on and on till she’d wake up

Chloe looked on, watching the video expectantly. She was already wishing that could salvage the situation and probably save their relationship.“What do you want?” Max said in a serious, angry tone she had never seen him display towards her.The brunette lady he was seated with in the video had such a deceptive beauty which made her feel almost intimidated. Her lecherous-looking lips glowed with her lipstick. She could understand why Max had been tempted in the first place, although it was inexcusable. She disliked the fact that her face was all she would be seeing throughout the footage.“I just wanted to see you, Maxy,” she said. Chloe felt like shoving those words back down her throat. She appeared like she was trying to allure with every single move she made. And it was irritating.“Could you just cut the bullshit out, and tell me what you really want?” Max sounded impatient and a bit uneasy.“I’ve told you already,” she said, “all I want is you, Max. Nothing else.” She put her ha

Kylian tapped on the door, hoping that he’d somehow made it to the right door, following Maya’s directions to her place.The block of flats had way more homes than it appeared to have while viewing it from the outside. One could easily get lost in there. It had him wondering how the inhabitants kept from mistaking another door for theirs.He tapped yet again. He heard some faint footsteps approaching the door and expected to see Maya’s dazzling face. He could hear hands working desperately at the lock and that made him brim with anticipation.Finally, he thought, till the door opened for him to see a tall macho man with overgrown beards and tattoos scattered all over his body. The shock from seeing the stranger made him almost unable to speak. He had heavy rock music pounding in his apartment.“Can I help you mate?” his deep voice could make anybody’s knees buckle with frightful intimidation.“Sorry…I came to the wrong door,” Kylian broke out in an uncoordinated stutter, “I was lookin

It was the D-Day of the raid. Gray couldn’t deny how nervous he was, but he had to what had to be done. His heartbeat surged forcefully with each stop and turn of the vehicle.Most of all, he hoped the resistance they had predicted would what they’d be faced with. He’d heard stories of how vicious the Mexicans could be, and he didn’t want the mission to be a continuation of that tale.“Alright,” he finally got the courage to speak up amid the men in the large trunk of the van, he was about to attempt to make them not feel what he was feeling. He took out the large tablet that had the blueprint of the building.“The operation is simple.” He didn’t believe it was, but he had to say it anyway. “First, we surround all possible exits of the villa, which include the main gate, the back gate, and one other hidden gate on the Eastern side of the fence…”“Second, we ask Alejandro and his men to come out peaceably. If they don’t, which they most probably wouldn’t, we first hit them hard with so

“It’s on the news, Chloe,” Max stared at the TV screen in wild wonder, calling out to Chloe who came running, “They finally got him.”“Businessman known as Alejandro Navarro has been finally apprehended by the forces on charges of illegal drug trades, manslaughter, sex trafficking…” the TV presenter went on and on with his many dirty deeds.“Damn, he’s got quite a lot going for him at the moment.” Max remarked as he reclined on the couch, “Good thing they got him. There could’ve been trouble if they didn’t.”“Yeah,” Chloe said looking on in anticipation, “Nothing on Diego yet?”“Wait for it.”“Alongside the underground drug lord, the notorious gangster, Diego Gutierrez was also found in the building. After much resistance and shots fired, the swat team was able to break in and apprehend the two men and a few other survivors from the heated exchange. Two hostages were found in the basement of the building, a male and a female, suspected to be victims of his trafficking crimes…” The pre

Ollie picked up her phone and dialed frantically, “Did you hear about Alejandro on the news?” The report on the news seemed untrue, and she assumed that Chloe hadn’t seen it yet. “Alejandro has been arrested on numerous charges?”“Yeah, I heard,” Chloe said, unalarmed like they hadn’t lost one of their biggest potential partners after they had set quite a huge part of their budget plans around him and his cash, especially. “He’s been arrested.”“You know what that means?” Ollie still believed that she wasn’t getting the full scope of the impact of that news in particular. “What’s going to become of our plans and all?”It took Chloe quite some time to get a sigh out from her end of the line. “Well, we are going to figure something out, Ollie.”What? She meant to ask but swallowed it in as she sought a much better response but she couldn’t find any other, that forced her to say it out anyway, but more softly and politely that didn’t make it seem like Chloe had said something unreasonabl
