Dakota Delaune
Franco's father was so mad at his son for making a big mistake. Franco damaged some products and sent it to one of our customer causing them to get hospitalized. I still don't know the detail because my father pulled me out of it.
Franco was kicked out from France for the time being which I'm so so glad that he did this. His father took over and Angelo was not having it.
He was more than mad and he looked like he's ready to let Silware go. Silware was all over the news and it was hard for them to fix this mess. Angelo was working day and night for the pass 2 weeks.
I swear.. he got no time to sleep and he even got a lot of calls from his work in Italy. I delivered food sometimes for him and forced him to take a rest but he just ignored me.
"Dakota, come to my office." Angelo said as he walked pass by me. I quickly got up and followed him into his office. He gestured me to sit down and he sighed.
"You told me you want to work right? How about this.." He said as he leaned back to his chair.
"What?"
"Help me fix Silware and I'll give you one and a half million euros for it." My eyes widen when he said that. I never expected this would be so perfect, the timing, the situation and the opportunity.
"You'll be helping me to restore the company back before Franco decided to destroy it. After we restore it, I'll be selling the company along with the other investor because I'll eventually need my money back. So what do you say?"
"I'll work along with you?" I asked carefully and he nodded.
"We will be working together for this.. approximately around three to four months." He said and he looked at me waiting for my answer.
"I'll do it.. you'll give me one and a half million euros right?" I asked to make sure.
"You can hold on to my words." He said and I surely don't believe him. Last time he said that, he ended up leaving with no trace.
"Very well. I'll help you but you promise me.. once everything is done.. you won't tell anyone about my whereabouts and the reasons why I'm running away."
"You won't even tell me about your whereabouts, so don't worry." He said in a cold tone as he reached for his phone in his pocket.
"Next week, we'll be working from Italy. I have things to do there so you're going to come with me and I have Diaz to help me from here." He said and I nodded. He gestured me to go out and I can't hide my smile from him. This is such a good news and everything was perfectly settle with each other.
This is my last chance.

I looked at the rain that slowly dripping on my glass window. Today was indeed a really tiring day and the weather made me want to sleep all day.
This weather reminds me of Dakota. She loves the rain and she will never hesitate to walk in the rain to just have a little fun.
It reminded me when she got F in Math and that stressed her out. She forced me to walk in the rain with her.
Runaway?
Start a new life means opening a new chapter. Will she be okay if she's alone out there somewhere? What if she faces difficulties? What if she makes a wrong decision?
I think I can deal with her being with Franco in Paris but can I deal with her being out there alone? Meeting new people and maybe.. falling in love with someone else one day?
My phone rang and it's Jovie.
"Yes, Jovie."
"Mr. De Luca, we found that Ms. Delaune is contacting someone from New Zealand right now. I think it's one of her friends from America. It looks like she has some plans to visit him." I raised my eyebrows when I found out that she's meeting with a man.
"His name?"
"Anthony Markell, sir. He's 29 years old and he's an engineer. He's single and it seems the both of them are quite close with each other." Jovie continued as I walked to the sofa.
"Okay."
"Do you need anything else, Mr. De Luca? Do you want me to follow that man?" I sighed and looked out the window battling with my own mind about Dakota.
"Just keep your eyes on her, let me know if she's meeting with Franco."
"Very well, sir. We'll let you know if we have more news." I ended the call and threw my phone beside me.
"Anthony Markell." I repeated his name.
I always have my eyes on Dakota when she's in America but I was not interested in with who she dated or even her friends. I was used to knowing her condition and that's it because I know.. if I knew her friends and all the men who flirted with her.. I could kill someone.
I care for her. I always do.
My phone vibrated and it's Dean.
"Come to London tomorrow, I have good news."
