Troubled Life

Chapter 21: And Then There Was A Goal.

A/N: So guys this little POV right here was supposed to be in the last chapter but it would've made that wayyyyyy longer than it already is so i put it here. Love you🥰✨

"Why don't you just go for him yourself?" The woman suggested.

"I don't know where he is exactly but if I have the girl I'll kill two birds with one stone." The man answered frustrated.

"Well you're out of luck. It's either my deal or you get nothing." He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"Come on Bella just a name or an address." She chuckled.

"Nope." She answered popping the P. She sat back, folding her arms clearly amused by the man's frustration. "I don't understand why you don't want to agree, we'd both get what we want in the end."

"I get to do your heavy lifting you mean? If she's important as you make her out to be then I'd be a ass to nab her."

"But you are an ass.... You need her to get what you want."

"Yeah but..... Wait- Did you plan this?" She smiled devilishly. "Of course you did." He sighed not surprised. " You knew if they met they'd... Connect."

"Look who just got smarter." She chuckled. "Ah! Kids these days. They're smarter than we were but girls are still suckers for bad boys."

"How did you know they'll meet? Or that they already met?!"

"That's for me to know and you to never find out. But if she's as stupid as she is and she falls for that gorgeous boy you want so bad, we have what we both want."

"No." He said through gritted teeth. "You have what you want. You meant gave us the idea to scan the western part of Manhattan because you knew they were together that day. So we'd find him but we still don't have any leverage or insurance so you knew our best bet would be to find the girl and put our faith into him actually having a connection with her so he'd come to us."

"Bingo! It's all coming together isn't it?"

"But that's not it, is it?"

"It isn't?" She raised an eyebrow playing stupid.

"Don't play dumb. Even away from the outside world you're as manipulative as ever Bella."

"Aww. I take that as a complement. And I didn't even have to move a muscle."

"You needed someone to do your dirty work and I played the part, hook, line and sinker." He sighed. "How did you know for sure that they'd connect? I refuse to believe you planned that too."

"No I left that up to chance and let's just say that chance didn't fail me. All I did in that department was just set up the point in which they meet."

"So then either way you still get what you want out of this deal because neither of us know if they did for sure. The only way to find out is to get the girl but even if it turns out that she means nothing to him I loose the boy but you still get the girl no matter the outcome."

"Well.... Basically. They must at least be friends tho. That's enough for you to.... Maybe get the boy." She shrugged. "If he's not as heartless as...." she trailed off and the man knew exactly where her statement was heading.

"You rigged this entire deal from the beginning. This was never ending in a compromise."

"Don't be dramatic."

"I'm not dramatic. I just didn't put that past you."

"But you would benefit in the end, I told you this. You'd get the boy, but I have never mentioned anything about you keeping him did I?"
