100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty…

~~*****~~

'Shit! I got caught!' Chantha bit her lower lip as she raised her hands.

Marco grabbed her wrist and pushed her to the wall, immobilizing her. But Chantha wouldn't give up without a fight. She used her leg, kicking him. She hit him on his crotch, making Marco wince in pain. Bullseye!

Due to the impact, Marco loosened his grip on her. Chantha grabbed that opportunity to escape. She twisted his fingers and pushed him. When Marco fell back, Chantha ran away as fast as she could.

Marco tried to catch her but she was fast. Before he could grab her body, Chantha disappeared from his sight. A motorcycle stopped in front of his apartment, grabbing the intruder's hand. Then in one swift move, she climbed and rode on his motorcycle.

Marco frowned as he watched them drifting away from his sight. "Veronica is being followed by Nathan's men." Marco recognized Chantha. "Are they suspecting her already?"

Marco just finished tucking Veronica in his bed when he sensed some movement outside. He was still shirtless when he went out to check on the intruder. Unknown to Chantha, Marco planted hidden cameras and sensor warning devices around the vicinity. 

Meanwhile, Axel and Chantha were now heading to the headquarters. He used his motorcycle to reach her destination faster. And thank God, he came on time.

When the two arrived at Syphiruz Hideout, Axel began lecturing and reprimanding Chantha. "You did something reckless! I already warned you not to make your presence known to the enemy. Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Chantha just picked her ear, putting down her helmet. Axel seemed like overreacting today.

"Easy. I can protect myself. I know how to fight. See. I escape easily." Chantha reasoned out. She couldn't help but smile because Axel still looked cute while angry. 

"Don't smile. I will report you to our Supreme Leader," Axel scowled at her.

"You are bickering again," Joker butted in. He just passed by when he saw the two at the entrance. It looked like Axel and Chantha were arguing. They were used to seeing the two fighting all the time.

"Just shut up, Joker!" Chantha glared at Joker, waving her hand as she motioned for Joker to leave.

Joker let out a soft chuckle. "Go and report to our Supreme Leader. He is in the office."

"What? He is here? I thought he was on a vacation trip?" Chantha gasped in surprise.

"Vacation is over! I think Our Supreme Leader will give us so many tasks. He wasn't in a good mood when he arrived." Joker informed the two.

Chantha and Axel looked at each other. "Did something wrong happen during the trip? They were supposed to stay there for seven days."

Axel didn't respond to her. He just held her wrist and pulled her, guiding her to Nathan's office. Joker, Axel, and Chantha went to see Nathan. Upon entering the room, they could sense the dark aura surrounding him. Axel and Joker hesitated for a moment. But Chantha stepped forward to greet Nathan.

"Hi, Boss! Long time no see! I miss you!"I think you should take a look at

Both Joker and Axel shot her a warning glare as if telling her to behave. Chantha just stuck her tongue out, ignoring the warning look from the two men.

Nathan raised his head and looked at them. He was silent while wearing an indescribable expression.

"Boss, I have something to report!" Chantha spoke again, breaking the silence inside the room. Axel and Joker could only stand behind her, praying that their Supreme Leader wouldn't get annoyed by Chantha's blabbering mouth.

Nathan just nodded his head, giving her the cue to speak and report everything.

"Doc Veronica met someone tonight. And this guy is a former assassin. Boss, what if she has something to do with the accident in Caceres Hills?" Chantha expressed her thoughts.

Nathan's expression turned colder and grimmer. "There is one way to confirm it. Capture this man. I will make him confess. If proven that Veronica hired this guy to hurt Abigail, then I will not forgive her."

Chantha bobbed her head frantically. "Got it, Boss. We will capture this guy first thing tomorrow."

"I'll accompany her with this mission, sir," Axel volunteered. He wanted to make sure that Chantha wouldn't do something reckless again.

"Okay. You work together on this mission. But I need something urgent. Did anyone from you get information about Monica? What did you find out?" Nathan asked them expectantly.

Chantha and Axel turned to Joker. This was one of the tasks, assigned by Axel. He should be the one to answer Nathan. 

"Prior to your face-to-face encounter with Miss Monica, I found out that she stayed in Country R for several years. She just returned to country M a few weeks prior to your first meeting with her." Joker handed the folder over to Nathan. The document contained information about Monica living abroad.

"One more thing, Boss. She studied business management. There is no record of her becoming an expert computer programmer or a hacker."

Nathan's face darkened further when he heard that. Hatred and regret began to grow inside his heart toward the woman whom he thought was the person he loved. He came into the realization that the mother of his child was a faker. She deceived him, making him believe that she was Shining Star.

Nathan clenched his fists. Evidence was slowly resurfacing, proving that Monica stole Jane's identity.

"Joker, fly to Country R tomorrow. Investigate the people who were close to Monica when she was still living there. I want to know every person who was connected to her." Nathan gave his order in a cold tone.

"Okay, Boss. I will look into this further." Joker paused for a moment as he recalled something.

"Boss, I also discovered something. I think Miss Monica met Helena in Country R. They might be acquainted with each other. There is a magazine of AMB Diamond Corp starring Helena. In that picture, Miss Monica was with her."

Nathan and others were surprised when they heard that. Was it just a coincidence? 

'No wonder, Helena seemed to know Monica's habits and gestures.'
