Infiltration(by Hazel Mikali)(completed)

Chapter 9

There was an almost silent knock on the door."Yes"Carter said as he sat in his office.My mother entered.Carter took off his glasses and wiped his eyes."I thought i should bring you something to snack on.To give you energy darling"she said sweetly and putting a tray with some spring rolls and sauce on the table.He smiled "Thank you Grace."he said.She sighed."Carter you know i have never put my nose in your business not once in this lifetime but this one time i ask that whatever youre doing...keep my daughter out of it.She is worth more to me than any deal you can seal".Carter was suprised and intimidated.His wife had never spoken so freely,so serious."And what made you think anything could possibly happen to her because of my business."he asked."Listen Carter.Hazel is not a liability.Watch your back and your sides and front too."she said almost calmly before leaving the room and leaving Carter to wonder what had just happened.

I tapped my phone screen nervously.It was unlike Dad to ignore me especially if it had something to do with business.It had been a week since i had sent him a voicemail."Mmmm you smell really amazing.Your hair"Ahmed said wrapping his arms around me.I was startled."You scared me"i said.He let go and came in front of me."Youve been distracted since we came back.Should i book a flight to paris or something.I think home is not your thing."he said playing with my hair."Im okay.I just do feel a little off but im okay baby"i said.He put his hand on my forehead."no fever"he said seriously.I put my hands around his neck."Ahmed,relax baby.Im fine.You know what you make me feel better?."Tell me,i will do anything in my reach for you.Even beyond.I will die trying."he said.I smiled."Stay with me tonight.I wanna fall asleep in your arms."i said to him.He kissed my lips softly."Hazel if i could i would let you fall asleep in my arms everyday.Just so i can see your beautiful face.And yes i would love to do that.Let me go and run a bath for us."he said.I smiled.He turned to leave and reached for his pocket.He took out his phone and put it on silent.He was going to try to give me his undivided attention.

"Can you stop making me laugh and just massage my feet already"I said to Ahmed who had been tickling my feet while we sat in the warm bubbly bath"."Allow me to make you laugh,its been a little while since i have seen you smiling and i want it to stay that way"he said."What happened to you.You changed"I said to him."You changed me."he responded.His hands slid underwater and massaged my thighs.I slid closer to him and kissed him.I was longing for him more each say

The phone on the table rang silently for the hundreth time.No answer.Hendricks groaned in anger."He is not picking up"he said to the man dressed in all black.They looked at the boxes around them."Well Im sure you know what to do.Your stuff is here.I want my money.You have 3 days Hendricks.3 days"he said furiously.Hendiricks nodded and left the storage facility.He dialled his phone the moment he sat in his car "Hey ..plan  B"he said before hanging up.

"Shit"Ahmed said as he looked at the messages and texts on his phone.He picked up the clothes nearest to him.I walked into the bedroom all smiles and satisfied from the bath we had just had.Amhed looked restless."Baby arr you okay"i asked him.He picked up his phone and looked at me."I will make it up to you"he said before slamming the bedroom door and walking out on me.I stood there disappointed and shocked.Clearly life with this man would never be normal.His secrets,his unpredictability.To make it worse,the feeling that he was hiding something terrible from me that had something to do with my father.I had to get to the bottom of it.I went to the window and watched his car speed off."I will find out Ahmed.Trust me i will.
