Don's Blackmail

Chapter 16

The next day Kate didn't have any classes so she decided to sleep in but then she remembered an important thing she had to do – Call Placebo. She wasn't sure what Quisito's intentions were but she couldn't risk throwing her life away to be treated like a whore to find that out.

She got up from bed and went through her morning routine. After engaging in a casual conversation with the maids, she found out that Quisito was not in the mansion. Kate did not know whether making a deal with Placebo was a wise thing to do, but she had do to it – For Chris, for herself.

She locked the door to her room and typed Placebo's number which she had byhearted. She was about to click the 'call' option but stopped when she remembered his warning to only sent text. So, she messaged to that number.

Kate : Hello this is Katelyn. I am ready to join your hand to go against Quisito.

She waited for about ten minutes and the reply came.

Placebo : I thought you were going to turn me down. Well, you did the right thing by contacting me.

Kate : So how can I help you?

Placebo : Where is his room?

Kate : Next to mine. Why?

Placebo : You'll have to get inside it that's why ( but not now ). Does he lock the room?

Kate : No.

Placebo : Perfect! Since now he is not at your place you are safe to move around without being caught. I want you to wear a casual attire and meet me near at the road near the back yard wall ( You have to jump the wall ). Once you come there, we will discuss the rest. Okay?

Kate : You must be joking...right? There is no way I'll be able to walk past all his men, they are all over the mansion!

Placebo : You don't have to worry about that. In about.....20 minutes, I'll create a chaos in front of the mansion. All of his men will go to attend that problem and that will be when you will get out. Got it?

Chaos? What kind of chaos?

She thought of his plan for a second before hesitantly typing the reply.

Kate : Okay...I'm in.

She immediately put the phone away and nosedived into her wardrobe to find a suitable attire. She matched a blue hoodie and a black jean with her hand. It looked extremely casual to be worn on a day with low temperature. She quickly changed into the selected dress and paced the room, waiting for the 'Chaos'.

Almost 20 later she heard massive gunshots and explosions right outside the mansion. Kate suddenly became alert and tried to think of a safe place to hide from the incoming attack but her phone buzzed with a message.

Placebo : RUN!!!

Oh, the chaos!

She opened her door to find Quisito's men running to the direction of attack where the servants of the mansion ran to take cover. It was a perfect distraction.

Without making herself prominent, she crept out of her room and slowly walked to the back end of the mansion. When she reached the short wall in the backyard, she carefully launched herself on top of it and without wasting another second, she jumped down on the pavement on the side of the road.

Freedom!

A smile of success brightened her face but it got frozen immediately because she felt a man wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Her fight-flight instincts kicked in but before she even moved a muscle the man spoke.

"Don't worry its only me, Placebo"

She exhaled a sigh of relief and let him guide her to a corner behind a giant tree, where they were partially hidden from the passersby. When she turned to face him for the first time, she saw that he was wearing a mask to cover his identity. Only his eyes were visible.
