Chapter 4

"Thank you," Elizabeth replied trying to not sound nervous as she felt Stephan's hand pressing into her thigh.

"Anything for you my love. Hope you are good?"

"Yes I am."

"So when is the ball going to hold, you know the invitation is always very secretive."

Stephan whispered into her ear hurriedly, knowing that Elizabeth didn't know the details of the event.

"In a month time and it's a masked theme," she replied.

"Masked theme, I love it."

Me too, Stephan grinned inwardly at the bastard.

"Okay I have work to do, I will call you much later," he added as he ended the call.

"That wasn't so hard now, was it?" Stephan asked her rubbing his hand on her thigh, "I believe that you won't be going around telling your side piece that he has been compromised, I wouldn't want to have to blow your heads out."

"Yes I promise I won't tell a soul anything."

"Good girl," Stephan pecked her cheek. "Go home now," he ordered as she stood up bowing her head and walked out with shaking legs.

"Hahahaha," Stephan and Matteo bursted out laughing.

"When am I killing her?" Matteo chimed.

"A day before the ball," Stephan replied. "We don't want to give Jerome the wrong idea. Let him believe he is a step ahead, but, if she opens her mouth do blow it off."

"Gladly."

Matteo brought out his phone checking something. He smiled at Stephan, who raised both of his brows wondering what was going on.

"We have our little package already."

"June?"

"Yeah, Will have my men get her."

"Good!" Stephan smiled happy at the update and how swiftly things were going for him.

The upcoming ball was important to him and eliminating any obstacle in his way was a big necessity. A couple of millions was at stake.

"Are we still going to the meeting?"

"Yeah, sure," Stephan stood up adjusting my shirt. "Let me take a quick shower, and get dressed."

"Alright. I will call our secretary to inform them that the meeting still stands, and we are on our way" Matteo joked has he typed into his phone.

It had been two days and no sign of June, Dawn took a turn into a street and entered into a bar. She took a seat in her favourite spot hidden at the edge. She looked like a total mess with her rough hair, baggy black pants and top. Her baggy eyes was not left out. She had been sleep deprived for two days.

She had checked through the stuffs June left behind and trailed her to every spots she liked and even asked questions from her friends but nothing, till last night when she got a lead on one of her friend who insisted they meet up. She decided this bar was safer as people were around, not like she didn't already know this friend. It was Liam and they had met him a couple of times, but she couldn't just trust him.

He probably was working with June right now. Yesterday she had seen a black car trailing her every movement, she figured it was them watching her closely and waiting for her to fail, but she wouldn't. She thought about the bloody contract and how she had no idea what the content contained.

Scary shit for her.

She had even found some paper works of the handsome hunk, June had been keeping tabs on him and she didn't even know about it. She guessed her ignorant behavior was catching up to her slowly. It turned out the handsome hunk was Stephan Klar, a multi billionaire.

Owner of 'Klars' a very popular fashion brand, fourth in ranking and might be first soon. She also found a picture of his kid brother, the other that nearly blowwed her brains out, Matteo Klar.

Thank God for Google and lots of screenshot, it was like she knew enough about them, as she kept browsing about them and their achievements. There slats were super clean, too clean, and too clean was not so good. No wonder they had kidnapped her, she still wondered what June had done to them.

She remembered hacking into some site for her and getting the passcode, she remembered delivery some goods for her and when she had gone back to the house they threatened to call the police on her.

"Hey," Liam waved at her as he entered the bar, he walked towards her, and took a seat opposite her,"you look a mess."

"Good day to you too!" She replied. "So where is June?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"You tell me, I need to find June that's just all I know."

"She is out of town."

"Why didn't you want to discuss this over the phone?"

"I don't know, I got scared. The last time I was arrested and a phone conversation I had with her nearly got me into trouble."

"Arrested for what?"

"I heard she stole 5 million dollars," Liam whispered as he leaned in and looked side ways, "they thought I was her accomplice or something."

"So they arrested you and decided to kidnap me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Where exactly did she go to?"

"Canada," Liam said,"is everything okay? I already told the police and they are looking into it. They will find her soon," Liam added. "You should stay low for now Dawn, especially being the fact that you are her room mate."

"Was," She corrected.

"If something is wrong we can go to the police."

She could see the same goddamn black car packing at the side, she was unable to see through the tinted glasses.

"I need your help Liam, I think I am in trouble."

"You think?" Liam asked.

"I am in trouble," Dawn admitted. "I just need you to distract someone for me, that's all."

"Dawn we can report it to the police."

Dawn laughed at the thought of that, it was obvious Stephan Klar had connections in the police department. She didn't want more troubles.

"It's complicated, just please help me distract the person in the black car, that's all."

"Fine," he agreed.

"Thank you so much," she touched his hand on the table and rubed it. He nodded and left towards the direction of the car. She saw him knocking on the door of the car and took the opportunity to pass through the back door into the other street.

She needed to get the hell out of here, it was obvious she wouldn't be able to get June no matter how hard she tried. Canada was out of reach, she had carried her passport and her debit card while leaving the apartment. She had it all planned out in her head.
