RESIST

Chapter Eleven

Alessandro's POV

"Yes, inform him." I was on a call with Lorenzo.

"Hmm. Okay." The call ended.

Breathing deeply, I sat down on the seat and rested. It was just like any other day. Hectic.

My sight moved towards the drawer. I opened it using the key and pulled it out.

The black cover file was on the top. Not wanting Scarlett to see it, I had kept it here.

MSX INC was written on the top.

It contained information about the women trafficking that Scarlett was involved in. The case had already been finished but I told my private investigator to continue looking into the matter more. There seemed to be more into it and it was true.

Six months after the final hearing of the case, I came to know that there was another man behind the crime.

And not only that but there's also something more to Scarlett. It seems as if she still has a family.

The day  I found her, she was brought to hospital for treatment. There, she went into coma for 5 months. All the injuries were healed by the time she woke up. Except for injuries buried deep into her mind and heart.

I opened the file and sighed. It had been almost 3 years since I totally left the UG works. I promised myself that I would leave all those dirty works the moment Scarlett woke up. She was everything I ever needed. Till now. And will forever be.

*knock* *knock*

Quickly putting the file inside the drawer, I cleared my throat and told whoever knocked to come inside.

Scarlett peeped through the door. She looked too cute that I couldn't help but be amused. 

"It's almost 6," she unknowingly pouted. i chuckled and got up. Opening the door, she came inside and helped me gather the files laying on the table. 

"I'll manage these. You go and get the file for Lorenzo," I said to her and took the files from her, so i could place them properly. She went to her office.

Together, we left for home. From there, we would be going to the restaurant for the meeting with Mr Anderson. Lorenzo was also gonna be there.

Scarlett was just 17 years old when I first met her. She was a victim of forced prostitution. We found her in a brothel when we went there to take down one of our rival gangs.

Even after going through a lot of medical treatments, she was still not responding for the first two months. The doctors were almost losing hope but I didn't. I couldn't when I only felt around her.

She was like the ray of light that came into my dark life. She made me feel emotions that I had never felt before her. She awoken feelings inside me that I didn't know existed.

Just looking at her made me feel those things,then what would happen when she let me see through her?

That was what I had during those days.

"Alessandro? Alessandro?" I looked on my right and saw her looking so heavenly in her mint coloured dress with nude heels.

She looked at me questionably. I just shook my head with a slight smile.

Walking up to her, I stopped at only a feet from her. She looked slightly nervous. 

I held her beautiful long honey brown hair that were on her right shoulder and placed them back. I felt her breath hitched.
