Chapter 32

I eventually wake up, seeing Connor walking in after closing the door. He stands in front of me. It has been two days since I have been here.

"you awake." he raises his eyebrows down on me. I frowned, spoke roughly.

"What do you want?" His cold eyes are scaring me, yet I don't care.

"don't be alarmed. I'm not going to do anything, at least not yet." this crazy man, I swear to god. Before I could speak, he called out to someone. A big guy comes inside. My eyes go wide. Feeling my blood kicking, I glare at him. He was taken aback.

"This is the girl I have been talking about. Nathan's daughter." What?

"what do you want from me? Mostly, what do you want from my father?" Connor speaks, ignoring the question I asked.

"this is Henry. He is going to take care of you while I'm gone for a while."

"why?" I ask, frowning. Connor ignored me, he leaves the room with Henry. After a while Henry comes back. I look over to Henry when he moves his index finger on his mouth, shaking his head with wrinkled eyes. I shut my mouth. I waited for too long to have permission to talk. Some long minutes passed and he finally speaks,

"It's past 12:00 PM. Which means they already left." he walks over behind me and starts to untie my hands.

"what are you doing here?" I didn't let him speak and I spoke fast. "Does dad know about this? After all these years, you and dad working together, You dare to betray him?! Betrayed your own kind!" I yell. He hushed me, taking a hold on my arm, walking outside. "he trusted you! Your workers trusted you! The people that needed help trusted you!" he stopped and let go of my arm after stepping outside of the unknown place.

"you are misunderstanding the situation here, Angelina."

"what is this place?" I ask, looking around the empty forest. I got the cold chill over my body.

"Get in." he says, opening his jeep car. I stare at him.

"no. Not until you explain the meaning of this." I say, narrow my eyes from the sun.

"I will tell you in the car. Get in or I will drive away." I got in and we rode away.

"what is this place?" I ask again.

"just a random forest that is far away from your city." I nod. "I would never betray Nathan, Angelina. I hope you will always put those words in mind and never lose them."

"That's what I thought, Henry!"

"I'm working undercover secretly to gather information."... Holy sky. I look at him.

"you scared me, Henry. " I say. He nods. "I'm so sorry."

"you couldn't help it." he says softly."

" yeah... " I say looking out of the window then back at him. "Thank you, Henry. Without you I don't know what would have happened to me." I gave him a smile.

"right, Angelina how the hell he got you here?"

"kidnapped me. At night." he was waiting for details. And I explained what happened between me and dad and the whole fight that got us arguing. Henry nodded.

"it's weird. I mean, why he kidnapped you and why his unknown boss wants to see you. Maybe something got to do with your father?" I shook my head.

"I don't know, Henry. Honestly."  I stare at him and ask, "Can I ask you a personal question?"

"go on." I hesitated at first.

"your job is just like my dad's, right? Always busy."

"that's how our job is."

"so, you don't spend your time with your daughter, Mia?" he was silent. I guessed right. He doesn't. "I get it." I mumble, still staring at the window. All of the girls out there, who are like me and Mia, I hope you are doing better than us. A phone rang in the backseat. I look behind. "your phone is ringing-" I stopped speaking, seeing Henry's phone between his thighs.

"yeah, that's my other phone." I nod.

"don't you wanna answer?" I asked.

"I'm driving, I will get it later." I took my belt off. "what are you doing? Put it back on." he says, looking at me and back at the empty road.

"getting it for you. It could be important." I started to crawl to the backseat.

"don't, it's fine!" he panicked. That's suspicious. I didn't listen and looked for the phone. It's not here, it's in the back of this seat. I peeked at the back to see a blanket.

"what? Have you kidnapped your daughter?" I joked. He stops the car immediately.

"wait-" too late. I took the blanket off. I wide my eyes and look back at Henry who is trying to avoid my eyes.

"next time make sure to turn off your phone, Jeongguk. That's one of the important rules." Henry says, starting the car again. I breathed out in disbelief. I look back down at Jeongguk.

"you stopped working for father, why are you here?" I asked. I moved away and sit down. He climbs beside me.

"Henry send a message to Nathan about seeing you here. Your father called me and I simply came." I wanted to know if it was my father's orders or his job as an assassin's work. He surely doesn't want to tell me. He is keeping it a secret from me.

"I see." was all I said.

"also," he tilted his head. I glance at him with crossed arms. "do you have any idea how dangerous that was? Don't ever run away from home." he climbed beside Henry after scolding me. I know it was dangerous.

"I don't understand." I say. "how did he find me? He said he was watching me." Henry looks at me from his car-front-mirror. Jeongguk turns his head to mine.

"did he tell you his name?" I nod.

"It's Connor." Henry looks at Jeongguk.

"this bastard. He lied about his name to me. He is no good." Jeongguk writes something on a note and tear it off, sliding the paper inside his black pocket.

"describe him to me." he says.

"he is tall, has long tiny legs and arms. His black hair straight to his barely seen eyes. And seems he always wear his watch. A silver swatch night watch. And also, he wears fancy suits."

"true." Henry says to Jeongguk. "he is fond of his watch dearly for some unknown reason. He gets crazy if someone touches his watch, even if it was an accident. Once he killed his best, strong guard for touching his watch while helping him by his wrist." he is insane. I wish to never see him. I stare at Jeongguk who was in deep thoughts.

"Jeongguk, how did you get here?"

"my ways."
