He was still thinking about the matter when he heard Dave’s urgent voice from the other end of the line. “There’s a black car parked ahead on the left. Your woman is standing beside it.”
When Alpha Kilian heard those words, he turned his head in said direction and ran ahead right away.
“Also, there’s something I need to tell you. It’s possible she already met up with the boss and is waiting
at the side of the road. She’s probably going to leave now,” said Dave.
Alpha Kilian was stunned for a moment after he learned that. He then picked up his pace. It felt as though he was putting everything he had into every step he took.
“They got into the car,” reported Dave. Alpha Kilian sprinted even faster.
When he finally reached the junction, he saw that the black car in question was on the other side of the road. He was there in time to see Nelly getting into the car.
“Nelly !” shouted Alpha Kilian loudly. He was going to run to the other side, but a car suddenly drove past him. Alpha Kilian instinctively backed away. When he looked up again, he noticed that the black car had already started its engine and driven away.
“Nelly !” screamed Alpha Kilian once more. The car was long gone by the time he ran to the other side of the road.
He tried his best to stop the black car, but he couldn’t. The cars on the road kept zipping by nonstop, and no one stopped to let him cross the road.
Sh*t!
Alpha Kilian cursed internally as he watched the car drive out of his sight.
Meanwhile, in the car, Nelly was wearing her headphones while wearing a stoic expression on her face. She was emanating a cold aura.
Boss sat next to her, looking behind. When he got into the car, he heard Alpha Kilian ‘s voice and caught a glimpse of the man running toward them.
Unfortunately, Nelly didn’t see or hear anything. Boss’ lips curved into a smile.
I bet Alpha Kilian is worried sick now.
Boss thought about the night he had to endure immeasurable shame. He had always wanted revenge. Hence, at that moment, he was ecstatic. To him, watching Alpha Kilian suffer was much better than stabbing him with a knife.
Nelly noticed Boss’ strange smile at that moment. She looked at him and asked, “What is it?” Boss reverted his attention back to her and shook his head chivalrously. “It’s nothing.”
Nelly took off her headphones at that moment. She kept her eyes on him when she asked, “Where’s the thing I asked for?”
“I’ll give it to you once we reach our destination.” Nelly continued staring at him, sizing him up.
Boss simply chuckled in response. “There’s no need to look at me like that. Don’t worry. I’ve already promised you. I’ll keep my word.”
Nelly looked away and never said another word.
Boss turned to her at that moment. He thought about it for a bit before asking nonchalantly, “Did Alpha Kilian come here with you?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The mention of Alpha Kilian made Nelly throw him a sidelong glance. Her eyes were practically shooting daggers as she spoke. “That is none of your concern.”
The more insolent and aloof she was, the more Boss admired her.
He glanced at her before leaning back on the seat lazily. Fiddling with the ring on his left pinky with his right hand, he said nonchalantly, “He messed with me at Moonwalk pack Moonwalk pack , so if he were to show up here, I will not show him any mercy.”
Those words made Nelly stiffen.
She turned around and looked right into his eyes.
“He is the one responsible for my injuries,” said Boss. There wasn’t a hint of anger on his charming face when he said those words. In fact, he was smiling. The glow in his eyes, however, was filled with the kind of hatred that could send a chill down anybody’s spine.
Nelly scanned him for a moment. Then, she sneered. “So? Why would I care? That is between the two of you.”
“Oh, so you really don’t care?” asked Boss.
“He is a man of his own. He doesn’t need or want me to protect him,” replied Nelly , enunciating every word.
“Oh, are you implying that I am not a man of my own?” Boss retorted.
Nelly curled her lips before turning away haughtily. “Your words, not mine.”
Boss wasn’t angry or triggered. He simply replied, “I never consider myself a kind person. In fact, I can be merciless and will stop at nothing to get what I want. I am well aware of that fact and am okay with it, so your words can’t provoke me.”
“Merciless, huh? Are you implying that I shouldn’t trust you?” challenged Nelly .
Boss raised his brows upon hearing that. “I do have a good quality, though. I am a man of my word.” Nelly glanced at him and scoffed before looking away once more.
The car sped down the road.
It didn’t take long before it stopped somewhere.
Boss opened the door and gestured for Nelly to get out. She followed behind him.
When she checked out her surroundings, she realized that she was in an unfamiliar place. “We’re not in Midnight fang pack , are we?” said Nelly as she turned to him.
Boss shifted his gaze to her and answered, “Of course not. I haven’t told the general about you yet. I’ll do that in a few days. In the meantime, I will have to ask you to stay here temporarily.”
Nelly merely looked at him wordlessly.
She knew all too well that it would not be easy for her to leave now that she was there. Nonetheless, she would make use of her time there to find some useful information.
With that thought in mind, she retracted her gaze and headed in right away. Boss watched her enter before following closely behind.
The hotel, in general, was pretty good.
“Now that I think about it, I actually met your dad once,” said Boss suddenly. Nelly looked up and gazed at the man sitting in front of her.
Boss gazed at her and said seriously, “The two of you look rather similar, actually.” “Really? Why have you never told me about that before?” Nelly asked stoically.
Boss picked up his glass of wine and took a sip. While he looked at the liquid in the transparent glass, he mumbled, “I’m telling you now, aren’t I? Don’t you think such important information should be shared in person?” Boss set his glass back down on the table.
Nelly ‘s gaze was on him the entire time, but her beautiful eyes shone with suspicion and indifference.
“You’re here because you suspect your father’s death is somehow connected to Midnight fang pack , right?” asked Boss.
“It’s not just a suspicion,” Nelly corrected him. She was almost certain of it.
If that wasn’t the case, she would’ve found out the truth behind everything after the occurrence of the tragic case. Coupled with the information that Tony had shared with her, it was highly possible that Midnight fang pack was involved. Moreover, Nelly had a gut feeling that everything was somehow connected, too.
Boss understood what she was saying right away. He thought about it for a moment before asking, “May I know the reason you think so?”
“Don’t you know the people of Midnight fang pack ‘s style of doing things?” Nelly answered his question with a question.
“That’s all you’re basing this on?” asked Boss.
“I believe that the truth will be revealed now that I am here,” said Nelly in a determined tone.
A strange, inconspicuous glow flashed past Boss’ eyes. He looked into Nelly ‘s eyes and asked, “If what you suspect is true, then what would you do?”
“What do you think I’d do?” “Exact your revenge?”
Nelly smiled, but remained quiet.
Boss scoffed. “I’m pretty sure you are too weak to even leave Midnight fang pack unscathed.”
“Do you really think I have any intention of leaving at all?” Nelly retorted. Boss stared at her in surprise. “You…”
Nelly didn’t say anything else. She simply sneered and took the photos before getting up and leaving. “Even so, you won’t necessarily succeed,” Boss yelled at her leaving figure.
“Thank you for your warning. I will be sure to give it my all,” replied Nelly without even turning back. A complicated gleam flashed in Boss’ eyes when he watched her leave.
Just then, someone who was standing aside spoke up. “Boss, since she’s in our hands now, maybe it’s time to make a request?”
“Let’s wait for a little longer.”
“What are we waiting for? Wait… Are you actually going to take her to Midnight fang pack ?”
Boss’ eyes narrowed a fraction. It seemed as if he was pondering about something. That was when the person said, “You know she wants revenge. What if she hurts the general? We’ll be blamed for taking her there. What will we do then?”
“Do you really think that the general’s bodyguards are that useless?” said Boss.
“Even if she fails to hurt him, we will still be reprimanded because we’re the ones who took her there.” “Enough. I know what I’m doing.”
“But, Boss!”
“Am I missing something here? When have I ever needed your permission to do anything at all?” Boss snapped in annoyance.
The person shut his mouth immediately. “No, that’s not what I meant…” “Then shut up!”
The person had more to say, but he decided against it afterward.
Boss looked in the direction where Nelly had disappeared with complex emotions glimmering in his gaze.
Nelly Jackson … I guess I’ll have to verify something.
Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian had just returned when he saw Tony and Ben waiting for him at the entrance.
“Daddy,” greeted Tony when he saw the man return. The two boys ran over to their father right away.
Alpha Kilian regarded them bitterly and forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
“I still couldn’t get to Nelly in time and could only watch her leave…” Alpha Kilian mumbled in a dejected tone.
It was obvious he was devastated.
That was understandable since he had never felt more defeated. Neither Tony nor Ben knew what to say to console him.
They saw everything from the surveillance footage. There was nothing much to say, as fate was simply too cruel.
“This is not your fault, Daddy. Nelly is determined to stay away from us, so it’s only natural that we can’t find her,” said Tony .
“He’s right. Also, it’s not as though we haven’t made any progress at all. At least now we know what our next step is. Locating that other dude will be so much easier than finding Nelly .”
Alpha Kilian didn’t really know how he felt when he heard the kids comforting him like that. Dave, who was at the side, sneaked away tactfully and left them alone.
I should give them space to bond.
Tony sat on the couch in the living room and kept his eyes on Alpha Kilian . “Daddy, I know you’re worried about Nelly , but the surveillance footage made it clear that she wasn’t kidnapped. She left on her own accord, so I’m sure she has an ulterior motive.”
