Chapter 69
Jack’s POV
“Who?” My eyes widened in shock, and trailed to her gesturing fingers.
She pointed towards Arnold’s grave.
“When did this happen? When did it start?” I asked in a loud voice, almost startling her.
Other than her to respond, tears flowed down her cheeks, and I felt my heart clenched, it was hurtful.
‘stop crying!’ I felt the urge to warn , but I was speechless.
“You’re crying.” She said.
After she told me, that was when I realized. She must have felt resentful towards me just as I have felt resentful to Rico and Damien for taking my light away from me.
“Who was my father to you?” She asked again.
Was she feigning that she didn’t know me, or…
” A loyal subordinate.” I answered.
“If then, would you help me out?” She asked.
” Ok what? ”
She raised her brow at me, giving me a weird stare. Her eyes were red, filled with hatred, and pains. First time I’d ever see a jovial who doesn’t give a fuck crying so hard.
She gave a deep sigh, tucking her hair behind her ears,”revenge! Help kill the stupid man who had killed my father.”
She spoke, and I shivered, her pains were visible in her voice.
” What would you give me in return?” I just questioned to know what her thoughts were.
” No, I mean to say, why should I revenge?”
“There’s no need to change your statement, just help me to get the killer of my father, and I would give you my whole body, and life forever.”
” Angie,” I called.
” I’m not Angie, “she said in a quick tone.
“I’m Emily Arnold.” She responded.
My eyes flared, with my devil rising up, I grabbed her neck, tightening my grip around it, I lifted her, glaring at her viciously.
How dare she?
How dare you Angie? How dare you to mock my wife?
“How dare you Angie?” I muttered.
She struggled within my hold, shoving her legs in the air towards me.
“Master!” A voice cried from the other end.
” Master please let go of her, you promised not to hurt us anymore, that’s my daughter, I beg of you to free her, and killed me instead of her.”
My eyes nipped to the speaker, it was Arnold’s wife.
“She’s your daughter?” I asked in a doubting tone.
Arnold’s wife nodded.
“She can’t be!” I roared.
“She is.” She replied.
“Lost but found?” I asked.
There exist a moment of absolute silence before Arnold’s wife voice broke through it.
“Yes, our long lost daughter.” She said in a shaky tone.
I stomped off to my vehicle, but whirled back to satisfy my curiosity for the last time.
“And her name is Emily?”
The nodding from her head gave me the answer I wanted.

Back to my room, lost in my own thought.
Angie?
Why Angie?
I need to find out how she was found? How was it even possible to trace her?
Did she voulunteer herself?
The Angie I saw today was different from the one I know. How could she pretends as if she doesn’t recognize me?
Maybe a memory loss?
Perhaps she was kidnap, and forced to be their daughter?
Or she was paid a huge sum of amount?
There’s more to this, and if at the end of the day I found out that Angie was trying to betray me, I would killed her just like her father , Arnold.
“Eliot, I need you to select a perfect location, and fix a date for I and Emily Arnold.”
Eliot gasped at my words, rolling his eyes.
” When you get a location, then you send message across to them.”
My knuckles whitened at the frequent presses it had received. I encoused in my chair, straddling my leg against each other with my gaze boring int the wall.
‘Angie,’ I whispered silently, within me.
‘Angie,’

“Now let get to the end of this, Damien could have had someone perform his dirty job while he was in prison.”
” Brown, what about him?” I demanded from Eliot.
” I haven’t heard from him, but I sent someone to his hometown to check.”
” Send another spy to Damien’s den.” I said.
” He relocate already. Since his illegal warehouse were ruined completely with bombs.”
” What side do he relocate to ?”
” No idea for now, but he owns a mining company where he produce gold, and diamond.” ” Also, he’s into a hotel business of recent.”
‘hotel business? Gold mining?’
Damien must have something up his sleeves to have indulge himself into such business.
“Is he in need of workers?”
“No.”
“When did he create the company?”
” Just as he was declared free by the court, a week after that, he opened the business, and called out for job applicant but none of those who apply was chosen, but there are many workers presently working in the company.”
” This implies that; Damien already have this company running even while he still owns the power house. How could he have know that there was good in such place? He must have been contacted by the owner of that place, who is the owner? Where us the owner? I knew Damien would never buy that place, he’s a greedy man. The owner might have been threatened by him, or killed, we need the information concerning this man to fight against Damien.” I said.
” Any news about the pirate? Their location.”
” No sir,” Eliot shrugged his head.
I scoffed.
” Deplore any of our best agent, meanwhile have you dispatch spies to each of the members jurisdiction? There’s a spy among us, and the attack on our those goods were as a result of the tip the pirate must have gotten. Arnold is our only suspect, but we can’t be certain, since he’s dead, we only set traps to see if an innocent man hadn’t died just like that”
Eliot face turned sober, he bowed before walking out.
Arnold is outspoken, mannerless, and daring but I’m not that sure if he would dare to snitch on me but eventually I find out…
Oh, Angie…
