Chapter 217
Knight
I watched Cassie walk out on me like my threat meant nothing to her. I was fucking pissed off. If she was that mad at her brother why fucking go out with a fucking guy from school!
Damn this! I tried to hold myself back from going after her and dragging her back into the mansion. How the fuck did she have the guts to say that to my face after we’ve kissed and after she asked me to make love to her. Why was she being so damn difficult?
I sighed deeply, combing my fingers through my hair, I should let her go and let her think I was just bluffing. I would really love to see the motherfucker that got to pick her up and he better not have some stupid interest in her because if I saw him giving the slightest flirtatious look at her I’d slam my fist to his fucking face.
“This is all your fault Cassie… Fucking with my mind so easily.” I said more to myself. There was no one around to listen anyway.
I had something really important to attend to and after that I’d go after Cassie. I had already called for a brief meeting with Caspian and Mike. It had to do with Angel and Thea, things seemed to be getting worse and some holes needed to be filled.
The men were standing already, looking uneasy as I strode in.
“Finally, what took you so long?” Caspian asked. I was heading towards the meeting area when I saw Cassie walking in such angry mood. I had to go after her so she didn’t do more than she was supposed to. Angel was going into depression gradually and what I was about to do could make everything he had done irredeemable.
I just hoped the result would be in his favour.
“Pardon me, something else came up.”
“Why are we here then?” Mike said. He looked even more restless than Caspian did.
I trailed my gaze from him to Caspian then I moved towards the desk in the room and sat slightly on it.
“You both know things have been getting out of hand since the incident at the party. Angel is not in the right state of mind to handle things, not with Sparrow, not with his stolen merchandise and not with our cartel as a whole. ”
“What are you suggesting.” Caspian said looking more interested. I knew he wanted things to go back to the way it was just as badly as I did.
“About Carl….” I said and waited to see their reaction. As expected, they both looked like it was a lost cause.
“Angel shot him, I was there.” Mike said sounding very certain.
“How sure are you? You said he had an Aunt remember?”
“I did but by the time she got home she would have found him dead….” He paused and darted his eyes around as if contemplating. “There’s no way he would have survived those gunshots.” He said more like he was asking.
“Who knows….”
“Even if that was the case Knight, he would have contacted Thea’s mum about the situation.” Caspian said.
“Would he? Really? Okay, if you were Carl would you really want to interfere with the mafia after you almost lost your life? Shouldn’t the best option be to hide?” I said and they both seemed to be considering the option.
Angel may have tagged him Thea’s lover out of anger and jealousy but to me it didn’t seem so.
I was willing to go to any length to find Carl if he were still alive. It may not be a perfect redemption after Thea lost her child because of Angel but at least it would get rid of the guilt both her and Angel felt for being the reason he died.
“I could send some men to investigate. We could find his whereabouts within a week if he left the country but if he’s around we can get all the data we need about him in few days.” Martin said and I nodded in agreement.
“What if he isn’t alive? I don’t want us giving Angel false hopes.” Caspian said sounding worried. I gave him my side eye. How the fuck was he slow to get the deal here?
“That’s why no one is going to tell him untill Carl is found alive and brought down here so that Angel could see him in flesh.”
“Fine… I’ll pray at the chapel then.” He said and scoffed. He was never one to dwell on hope or luck except it had to do with winning Camilo’s love.
“I can handle finding Carl.” Mike said.
“Good and Caspian, I need you to keep tabs on Sparrow. We need to know what he’s planning at every point in time. We are going to get our remaining merchandise. You know they cost a ton.”
“You can count on me.” Caspian said and I took a deep sigh.
“Thanks guys, that’s all for now.” They both nodded and headed out but I had one more task for Mike. “Mike, just a minute.” I called while Caspian walked out without him.
“Yes boss.”
I cleared my throat knowing that what I was about to ask him could raise suspicion.
“I need you to get Cassie’s location for me.”
“Uh…. Boss.” Fuck it! Did he need to do that? Couldn’t he just obey the fucking order.
“Is there a problem?”
“She asked one of the men to drive her out and he’s expected to return with the car.”
“What?” I asked but then scoffed. If we couldn’t track the car then we could track her phone. Why was everyone acting so dump today? First, it was Caspian and now Mike.
“Track her phone then.”
“Oh… Okay.” He said and left but I detected the hesitation in his voice. I shut my eyes realizing that he had obviously gotten suspicious and was trying to play safe by not giving out her location. She was still the princess of the cartel and he could get on her bad side for doing that.
In no time, Cassie’s location was detected and I hurried into my car going after her while Mike kept me informed.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
After a while of driving I was informed that the change over had been done and she was now with her so called school friend who was now driving her.
I felt my heart pumping rapidly as my frustration grew. I sped up, driving in a haste. I had little to worry about, it wasn’t the first time I drove at such speed and the road was a lonely highway leading to the outskirt of town.
Finally, I caught sight of the vehicle she was in and Mike had informed me that she was in the same place I was.
A dark smirk played on my face and I tightened my grip on the car’s steering getting ready to overtake them.
“Found you my little Angel.”
