SEEKER

Chapter 1

I waken up with the feeling of ache in my body. My hand clenches on the duvet, as I comprehend what transpired last night. It's too soon to deliberate about this, I have only been to London for two months and everything in our plan is not functioning.

"Liam" Paul intervenes my thought as he welcome his self on my room. I glance at the man who became my father like figure as well as my best friend while father develops his target.

"What's the plan?" I question.

The itch to perceiving the plan was something I wasn't be fond of right now. I briskly narrow my gaze on the window.

I felt the empty space next to my bed sink in as Paul takes a seat.

"He wants to see you"

"What's the plan?" I repeat.

Paul is also intimidated to father because we both know he is capable of doing anything. He wouldn't even hesitate to kill one of us if ever we betray him. I'm agreeing with him because it's the right thing, not because he looked after me. Despite his hectic schedule, he assured me that I was secured and well treated.

"Liam listen" Paul sighs. He untangles my clenched hand before continuing. "Just follow him. This was your choice and I'm sorry for asking you to look over Andie"

I shrug dismissing his last sentence. His brown eyes, examining my reaction or somewhat trying to read it as I stare at him blankly.

He is indeed precise. This is my decision. I proclaim the words to father without even deliberating on what could occur. I said yes because it felt like I needed to. I had to.

"I'll go take a shower so we can go" I mutter.

I push away the duvet that used to conceal my body. The tiles on the floor are chill compare to the carpet lying underneath my bed.

Once finished, I straightaway head to the living room where Paul is.

"Ready?" I ask him. He spins before catching a glimpse of me. A simple nod is presented before we exit the house. I need to do this, I keep repeating.

"Liam listen," Paul pauses as he starts the engine of my car. I peep at him so he can continue. "There is always another way for this..."

"Paul," I stop him. "We don't have any evidence. This is the only way"

Without the presence of his rejoinder, he steps on to the accelerator. No matter how much he attempts on changing my plan, I'll still diverge on him. I am apprised that he is acting this way because he wants to protect me. If only he knows that he can't.

Paul parks the car on the curved drive where a fountain is positioned in the center. I immediately hop out before Paul. His footsteps are loud from behind me and I can't help but get anxious at what is about to ensue.

An unfamiliar male welcomes me with a straight face. Who is he? Father's new guard? I can't help, but ask him as I catch glimpse of the man that has ordered me to come into his mansion.

"Who's he?"

"Back up" He replies.

His hand gestures me in front of his desk before we commence to talk about our first target.

"Paul shall we start?" Father questions while he's fastening his tie, not even bothering to make an eye contact.

"The largest mall of the United Kingdom is owned by the one and only William Jackson," Paul halts and gives us a paper. "That is his schedule, his family, his shareholders and his office address"
