Secrets

Chapter 19

Lance

Nathalie's Dad was surprised when he saw that I'am carrying her bridal style.

Whatever! I will take care of my Love whether he likes it or not.

Nathalie is blushing and her face is as red as a ripe tomato. But I find it cute. I put her in one of the chairs and I sit beside her.

Her stepmom just smiles while her Dad...

I don't know. He is just silent.

"Okay, Let's eat everyone." Her stepmom happily said.

Walter Falcon sits at my front and looks at me with daggers in his eyes. But I don't care! I eat the food as it's all very delicious.

My Love is not eating. So, I put some food on her plate. And I can hear small coughing from her stepmom.

"Mr. Vergara. Are you aware that my daughter is already married and has kids?" Walter Falcon ask me.

I just chuckled at that because I don't care!

"Yes, Mr. Falcon I'am very much aware of that. That is why I want to talk to you in private." I answered him seriously.

If he is shooting daggers with his eyes. I'am shooting an iceberg. You will surely freeze instantly once you look into my eyes.

"Fine, let's talk." He finally agreed.

But before I leave I carry my Love again.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Nathalie scolded me.

"Nope, you need to go back to your room and rest, okay," I told her and she can't say no as I already carrying her with my both arms.

She just avoided her dad's gaze. His eyes are asking what is happening with the both of us.

But Nathalie is too shy to answer. She is still blushing.

I put her down on the bed and he slaps my arm.

"What did you do? My Dad will talk to me later and I'm sure he will scold me." She said worriedly.

"Don't worry my Love. That will not happen." I assure her.

" Are you joking? And why did you want to talk to my Dad? I think there's something fishy going on." She said suspiciously.

But I cannot tell her as of now. What's going on to the other world of mine...

"There's nothing Love. It's all pure business. I just have a good proposal for your Dad that he will surely like." I answer.

"But still, I have doubts! Just don't do something stupid, Lance." She said like threatening me.

But I sealed her mouth with a gentle kiss. And she shut up.

"I'll be back love," I said leaving her blushing again. And it's cute!

Carol, Nathalie's stepmom told me that Walter is in his study room.

I open the door and there he is. Blowing his cigarette.

I sit down and look around. It's clean and pleasant in the eyes.

"Don't you think that I will not kill you for disrespecting my daughter?" He said in a low deadly monotone voice.

He deserves to be the Right-hand man. I know that he's holding a dagger in his hand. But I'am not afraid at all.

He throws the dagger at me, aiming at my heart but I easily catch those poisonous daggers. There are 5 of them.

He's old but quick. He will kill me with these five poisonous dagger!

He's brutal but I like it.

"Nice one, I'm impressed," I said while clapping my hands.

He turned around and look at me.

"Who are you?" He asked while holding his silencer gun.

"I'm amazed that you are always ready. Don't ever trust anyone." I told him and his eyes flickered and remember something.

"Who are you? answer me or I will fire this gun straight from your heart." He is serious and I'm amused by him. Interesting!

"Calm down. I'am here to talked something important." I said with my hands raised above.

But he fires the gun! And I dive on the other side.

Whoa! Cooldown old man.

He is very quick and fast. Like a flash, he quickly runs towards me and now he is aiming the gun at my head.

I just wanted to talk but he's fierce!

"Talk or die." He said with a cold tone. A true-blooded Assassin indeed!

I disarmed the bullet on his gun in just 10 seconds and throw it away at the side.

"Let's stop playing Black Hawk," I said looking into his eyes coldly.

His facial expression is full of surprise and shock.

"Who are you?" He asks and this time I will gladly answer him.

"Nice meeting you in person Black Hawk, my right-hand man," I said while smirking at him.

And he was shocked for a few moments. His eyes become bigger and his mouth form an O!

I just laughed at his reaction.

Finally, I can sit down without a threat of daggers and guns.

"Y-you a-re The King Of the Golden Tiger?" He asks surprised while his voice is stuttering.

"Nice meeting you again." I offer my hand to him for the second time today.

"Oh, I'm sorry Boss I didn't know." He accepted my handshake and apologise.

"Nah! It's nothing to worry about. I'm happy for your reaction to never trust a person. You are well trained and the best number 1 assassin of the Organization." I praised him and he lowered his head.

It's funny how he suddenly change his reaction, from hard to soft. But I like it.

"But what about my daughter?" He asks in surprise and his eyes are telling me. Why my daughter?

" Yes, It's about your daughter and her safety," I answered seriously.

It's time to talk properly.

"Black Lion is coming. And you know that he will do anything to kill me, especially those people that I love." I said.

"What? That moron, I will surely kill him if I will know who he is!" He said angrily.

Her wife was also killed by the notorious Mafia Leader during their time. And it's none other than the Father of Black Lion! He is no longer the leader as his identity was finally revealed because of Walter Falcon.

And now the leader is his Anonymous son. Black Lion!

"Calm down, we should not act recklessly. We don't know who the real enemy is. But I'm worried about Nathalie's safety. Later, more men will be added as her guardians." I told him.

"But Boss, I don't understand. Of all the women around the world. Why Nathalie? I mean, you know that she is married and has a twin right?" He asks confused.

"Of course, I know! But I decided to get her back." There's a finality in my voice and no one can change that!

"Get back? Did you know her before? Did you two meet already?" He asks for confirmation.

"Yes, 6 years ago. We met and become Lovers for one day and she left without saying goodbye. But it doesn't matter anymore. The safety of our loved ones should matter. You know that I will never reveal my face to my members and leaders. But because you are Nathalie's father, I respected you for that." It's an along with explanation and hopefully, he will understand my side.

"Okay but still, Andrew and the kids are coming home to visit. And it's not appropriate to see that you two are having an affair?" He asks surprised and a little angry. But because I'am his Boss. I know that he trusted me.

"Good thing you let me remember. What about this Andrew? Do you know his family? Where did he come from and what job did he do?" I ask him none stop making sure that Nathalie is safe with him.

"I met his parents in France during their wedding. They are both good people. There's nothing to worry about." He assured me.

"Then, that's good. But let's not lower our guard down. I request someone to watch that Andrew too. " I said and his brows furrowed. He might think. That I'm jealous but I'm not. I don't know this person. Much better to be safe than never.

"Sure, I will hire private men to watch Andrew and the kids. I don't know when will they arrive. But he's coming with the kids to surprise Nathalie." He lowers his voice on the last part.

I will admit. I'am a little jealous but after discovering Nathalie being a virgin for 6 years. My heart calms down but my mind has run wild.

"I will go now, but be sure to call all of your men tomorrow for a meeting. We are all under red alert and that's an order." I said seriously.

And he bows his head as a sign of respect.

"Yes, boss."

"But before that let me say goodnight to Nathalie. " I said winking at him. And he just shook his head.

I'm excited to see Nathalie. I don't know why. I miss her already. But I need to do my job. I guess I will be forever missing her if my mission will failed.

I knock on her door and she didn't respond. Maybe she is sleeping.

I tried to turn the doorknob and it opened.

There she is sleeping peacefully. My Angel, the Love of my life.

I know that during these days I become soft because of her.

Who could have not? Nathalie is every man's dream. And I'm very lucky to have her.

So Andrew, be ready as I will get her no matter what!
