Chapter 126

Lilah quietly lead her steps to his table and sat down.  "Where are the report?" She asked going straight to the reason she was here.

Black chuckled lightly before speaking. "I was going to ask about your flight back to the state but you didn't give me the chance. Why? If I may ask?" 

Lilah roll her eyes. She wasn't here to start a tip chat about herself but to get the information about Mr Charles. If she gets to know a little detail about Charles, that would lead her to Mr X..

"I don't have time for that Black. Remember I ask you to meet me for a reason not a dating meeting" she said. Trying to remind him the main she was here. 

"Alright. I have gotten the information you ask for but you are boring. I am just trying to catch Cruise with you" 

“ Just give me the damn information I need!” She snaps, getting impatient. 

Black rise his hand as a sign of submission. " Alright, my queen, there is no need to create a scene here, but I warned you. Everything that in this file are dangerous. I would advise you stay away because the man you request to know is a beast when it comes to killing” Black warned and handle over the files to her. 

She didn't bother to listen to what the hell the man was saying?

All she cares about was her missing friend, Rosary. 

“I wish you good luck on your new discovery” Black said and stood up attempting to leave.

“Hey,” Lilah called to stop him. She lit up her face to him and said. “Thank you” 

Black sighed, he knows the girl isn't into all these, but the game she was attempting to play seen dangerous. The best he could do, it's offered the information she requested for. 

He bends down to her level. “I think you should inform your father about this. 

This game is too dangerous. Your father is part of their line and would be happy to help you in any course” he whispered softly. Before rising.

“That just my piece of advice” he said and left. 

Lilah was a lot confused about the situation. What did Black mean about her father in part of their line? Which line is he referring to? She questioned herself but waved away the thought. 

Her father would be that last person she ever seeks help from. She rather seeks a help from a beggar in the street than Mr. Williams, her father. 

He had betrayed her trust and wouldn't allow him to repeat that again.  This is her life and her problem. She would find a way to fix the mess, regardless of what!

Without thinking much about her father. She open the files and goes through it. What she saw bewildered her eyes. 

The first name that appears on the file was the name of the underworld king. 

Don X! 

She had heard of these name before, where she was still living with her father. She overheard him speaking with his business partners, mentioning the same name on these files, but where did this name link to the Mr. X she was finding for?

Furthermore, she strolls down and find out Mr. Charles work for this Don X and at the end of the files. Additionally, she saw a little photo of Mr. Charles stands together with a charming man whose looks was more captivating than Charles looks. 

Like the man was a definition of handsomest. Who then is this man? She asked herself.  His face look so familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen him before. 

But her thoughts was still counting when her phone dipped, interrupting her from her trance. 

When she bought her phone out of her bag. The caller which she thought might be Steve was Mr. Charles!

Why is he calling? She asked, but nothing seen right to her. It has been two days that he had disappeared from her life after the last visit he paid to her when her father was around. 

She thought maybe he had finally give up in her and found himself a new toy to play with. 

With her shaking thought, she picked up the call. 

“Hello?” She said innocently that make the man on the line chuckled. 

“What a sweet girl you are” he compliments flirting. While Lilah blush,, but why is she blushing over his compliment? She scolded herself and said boldly like a true woman of steel.

“Why did you call?” She asked firmly. 

“Why can't I call. I just miss my girl, or should I say wife?” 

Lilah swallowed as her cheeks turned red. 

“Wife? In your dream!” She snapped. 

“Hmm, I see. But be careful, wife. The game you are attempting to play is dangerous” he said soften that chill her down. 

“W-what do you mean?” 

“What do you think, baby girl?”
