The Royal Contract

Chapter 658: Shadows of the underground world

“Do you think I can see Samson today?” She hopefully asked, checking her watch, if she still had time. It was still early.

She had been thinking of visiting him for some time, but she always had something else urgent to do. Nevertheless, she believed that it was about time that she made time for him. She owed him that much.

“We can arrange it if you want to see him today,” Tim informed his assistant to make the necessary schedule and clear some time for her visit.

He had seen the big man and had a good conversation with him. He did like his outlook on life. He did not sense that Samson had enjoyed his life of crime.

Many had not picked the life they led. Circumstances forced them to do things that they did not like but had to for survival. Life never gave them much to choose from, so they ended in a life they never wanted. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N(o)v????l(F)ire

“This is one of the most secure facilities that the agency owns. Samson is quite safe in this place.” Ben informed her as he showed them around the building, passing through several securities.

“You have to sign in first before we can proceed inside.” The guard said to her at the security checkpoint.

.....

“Of course,” Dani responded as security inspected her for any dangerous weapons. She took the book and signed her name.

She noticed the other names of the people who had come to see Samson. She saw several familiar names. Then, a name stood out. She had heard of him before. Mike Carter.

She heard that he was part of the people handling her case against Nick. She still had to meet the man in person, but many said he was a great attorney.

He was the last one to visit Samson, based on the record. It was not unusual since he was probably checking on their witness and asking for additional information for the case.

“Please, proceed inside.” The security escorted them to the room where Samson had stayed while in this trial.

She immediately went inside, where Samson was already waiting for her. Alex and Ben followed closely behind her, although they knew that she was safe in his hand.

“Princess, you finally came to visit.” Samson stood from his seat and greeted the woman he had saved.

He was glad that she looked great and that no harm had befallen her after all they had gone through. Until now, he was not sorry that he had helped her.

“I am sorry if it took some time to come here, but I assume you are well taken care of and had no problems.” She wanted an assurance that he was good while in their protection.

He had been good to her during her captivity and risked his life for her and her husband. The least she could do was return the favor by guaranteeing his safety and comfort.

“That is ok. I know it has been difficult for you. I am just glad that you are now ok.” Samson smiled at her, showing her that she had nothing to worry about him. “Besides, I am not going anywhere soon.” He jokingly said that made Dani smile.

“If you need anything else, do not hesitate to ask.” Alex finally spoke up, also thankful for the assistance that this man had done for them.

If not for Samson, he was unsure if his men would have rescued them that easily. Maybe if that was the case, more lives might have been lost.

“I believe you already provide more than enough.” Samson already felt blessed to meet this couple. His encounter with them had given him hope in life.

At first, he thought his life would end in the illegal world he belonged. But they managed to provide him with an opportunity to change the direction of his life.

He could finally change for the better, and his family did not have to suffer for his mistake. His recent conversation with them was fantastic as he learned that they were doing excellent in their new home.

“There is nothing I will not do for you after saving us,” Dani stated, but she could see that Samson did not want to abuse their generosity.

He only asked what was fair and did not want more. A trait Dani rarely see in anyone, especially for someone who used to belong in the criminal world.

“Anyway, we came here to check on you and ask if there is anything else you can give us about our case.” Alex appreciated what he already did for them, but if there were anything else he could do for them. He would like to know now.

He knew that he was so close to finding a way to put Nick permanently in jail and learned the mastermind behind all this. As much as he wanted his wife to meet his brother, he would still make him pay if he was involved in their kidnapping.

“As I said before, I never met the big boss. I only heard his voice through phone conversation.” Samson said, still hesitating whether he should give more information.

He had promised to help Dani, but could he risk his life and his family again by doing more, by telling them more. However, could he be truly free if the big boss remained at large.

“But anything else you can provide, it would help us with our case.” Dani insisted, knowing that she was closed to figuring this one out.

She could feel that he was still keeping something from her. He knew something that he was not sharing. She did not want to force him, but she was feeling desperate.

At the same time, she was afraid that she was putting too much pressure on him by asking him to risk his life again for her. She believed no amount of money could equal a life.

“I know someone that might have an idea of who he is.” Samson knew that he was risking his neck again for her.

However, if he would not do this, he would be looking at his shoulder all his life. His family would never be forever safe. He would be forever bound to live in the shadows of the underground world.
