Chan's P.O.V

"Start explaining Jisung, the rest of us had an agreement. No Sanleone's were meant to know our location...as far as I'm concerned, Jackson shouldn't have known either" I stated, my arms folding with a huff as I glared back at the two intruders before facing Jisung.

"Look I'm sorry alright, I wasn't aware. I thought it was safer for Jackson to be here with us, plus it's not like Cassie has any interaction with her family either. If she's here then Marcus won't know where she is" he shrugged, desperately trying to state his case as he shook his head.

"There is no way, she out of all people, gets to stay here with my baby in the house. No way, I won't stand for it" Alicia spoke, her tone firm and cold as I could only be thankful to Felix for getting Heejin far away from the room.

If looks could kill, Cassie would be 6 feet under.

"I mean realistically we can't let them go Chan, whether Jisung made the right call or not, they both know our location, we can't risk sending them back to the safe house" Seungmin spoke, now approaching us as I muttered curse words under my breath.

As much as I hated it, he was right.

"Please tell me you're not going to allow this Chan..." Alicia begged, all eyes now on me as I contemplated my decision.

I mean thanks to Jisung I was now stuck with them, I couldn't risk letting them go and then gaining the possibility of Cassie telling Marcus where we all are.

"They're your responsibility Jisung, I want them both situated far far away from us"

"Already done boss, I've given them the room on the left as you come up the stairs. Me and Minho have taken the room next to them"

"Great, so now I have to worry about Minho killing me in my sleep-"

"Don't worry Cassie, if Minho doesn't kill you...I will" Alicia spoke, quickly interrupting Cassie her face deadly serious as I had to hold back the smile playing on my lips.

Ah, she was still the same old Alicia Morelli.

"I just can't get my head around it Chris! Like I took your word for it, having both Marcus and Cassie as allies. But her living here under the same roof as our baby?! I can't put up with that, I just can't!" Alicia groaned, continuously pacing up and down my office as I locked the door behind us.

"I get it's not ideal, but we're just going to have to deal with it now Liss...I mean I don't want Jackson here either, you think I'm happy that he gets to be around you again?"

"Ugh Chan, Jackson isn't the problem! Cassie however is a psychopathic killer, she's the enemy and I bet one way or another she will screw us over" Alicia answered, her voice slightly raising.
