The Billionaire's Daughter

32 - Realization

Romano's POV

We were almost caught. I was still lucky I have thought of everything beforehand. The family decoy and diversion was effective.

Now I just need to ensure I don't have any loose ends.

Looking at the list of abandoned safe houses we have used during our military days, I figured I have to choose the farthest and least used to ensure that they will not track us easily.

I parked at a shopping mall and we transferred into another car. Saphira was still unconscious and I had to carry her out of the cab into the other car. This part of the parking area has no installed CCTV camera.

Now, we just have to drive to the safehouse undetected and tomorrow, the private plane that will be flying us out to Morocco will be ready.

Soon, Saphira will be mine. Nobody can ever take her away from me. I will no longer feel empty and unloved. She will learn to love me and care for me just like Carina did before.

"Franco. . . please help me. . .Franco. . . I need you. . ."

I looked at Saphira and was about to cover her mouth so I won't hear about her Franco when I felt her feverish face. She was delirious with her fever. I had to hurry. The safehouse if I am not mistaken, have some medical supplies and food that may help us.

After an hour drive, we reached the safehouse near the coast. This will be a perfect spot to fly the private plane tomorrow morning that will take us to paradise Morocco.

"Saphira, we're here. I will just prepare your food."

"Franco. . . please I need water."

"My name is Romano. Why do you keep on saying that name when I am just here for you. I am always here for you."

My heart is breaking whenever I hear someone else's name come out from her lips. I want her to be mine but how can I do that if she keeps on thinking about that Franco?

Why can't anybody love me and accept me?

I will not give up. It was a wrong move to let Carina go before. I searched for her to know why she cheated but she was gone. Now, with Saphira, I will not back down. She will be mine.

Agent Trey's POV

I found them. But I cannot tell these guys where. I had to go by myself first and try to reason out with Romano. If I bring the Police, he might get hurt. I know just what to do.

Faking a call conversation and lying was easy especially if you are a trained agent.

"Hey. I was called at the office. The decoys mentioned something about Romano that may help us with the case. I will just look into it and give you an update once I have it."

"Just call us if you find out anything." The head of security replied.

I saw Franco and Rob look at me then at each other. I have to look out for these two. They seem unconvinced about me.

I gathered my things. Transferring the data to my mobile and deleting the data from my laptop just in case.

My hunch was correct. He used the safehouse near the coast. It will be convenient to plan his escape by private plane there. He can use the ocean as runway. Romano is also a trained Pilot and he has several private planes being kept in secret holding areas across the City. I traced his account and one of his biggest private planes was to be transferred to the safehouse at dawn tomorrow.
