The first thing that comes to my mind is where he knew that I wasn't Russian.

He looks back at me, his short hair messy the club lights falling on his face which made him look more menacing. Then he smirked.

"Where did you know I'm not from here?" I talk slowly quirking my eyebrow. He scanned my face.

"You love, look out of place. I would know when this place is mine." he stated, the way he talked was business alike, his brown eyes wrinkling. He was attractive but something wasn't right with him.

"You're a CEO too then?" I asked softly showing him that I'm not intimidated, then take a step back so his hand falls from my back. He smirked that sultry smirk, pushing his hands on the pockets of his black dress pants looking rather relaxed.

"Yes. This is only a side job, but it pays well." he responds then licked his lips while taking in my features more. A side job, yeah right. "Why don't you join me for a drink and tell me why you're here? I can't remember inviting you, I have never seen you before love." he husked with sneaky brown eyes, before guiding me to an elegant corner where we sit on a dark sofa.

"Does that mean you don't want me here? I can always go." I retort. If I learned one thing from being involved with a gang it's that you show them attitude and that you're not scared. It's good that that is something I can do without holding back.

He chuckled, "No need to get defensive. I only want to get to know you."

Amanda is sitting here too wearing a dark green short dress drinking scotch and she sees me. Frowning then she stood up excusing herself from Gale while hurriedly walking away looking from side to side.

That was weird.

"I was supposed to meet a friend here." I lie smoothly averting my eyes back to Gale.

"Give me his name, maybe I can help you find him." he offered kindly.

"If I don't see him I will but for now I'm good." Then he hands me some drink. "I don't drink." I decline politely. I can't trust him, and I have a feeling that he would spike my drink. He raised his thick eyebrows but shrugged then drinks it himself.

This is the man who has enough of evidence to destroy Zayn's gang and it was me who had to steal a chip from him. Some of the numbers in that paper were codes for the fake names and personalities along with their bank accounts who had all their money distributed all over the world which Louis had made for them, even if Louis said he made sure to destroy any trails that could lead to them, Gale had found them. So basically he has the power to ask for everything he wants from Zayn and he already did but I didn't know what it was. And I didn't know what the rest of the numbers meant either. That mafia leader Damian has helped Gale, Zayn has been in a brawl with them for a long time, for reasons that are being held back from me.

When I asked Louis why he doesn't destroy those fake stuffs now, he said he will need time to erase them and relocate their money. But time is what they didn't have. That's why I had to do everything to find those evidences who could cause some serious damage, to get him more time.

I couldn't even entertain the possibility that if Gale succeeds on destroying Zayn's business that I would be free because Liam was quick to shut me down on that thought by saying that I would land on the hands of the most ruthless man alive. Damian. He has some different loathing for Zayn which as Louis explained goes back for ages, family fraud possibly so he would be rather amused to have me in his hands. And I don't think I want Zayn to lose anything either way. It's the only thing he has left.. No family, nothing to grasp on besides his gang.
