*** There was a long defeaning silence as Chris stared at his wife.

Shock etched on his face.

He was numb for a second, unmoving until the pain hit him all at once causing him to stumble and fall away from Natalie.

He let's out a loud groan, gripping his shoulders where the bullet had hit, blood sprouting between his closed fingers, staining his shirt.

Natalie scrambles off the floor, pushing the gun back into her bag.

"This is just a warning. You dare to raise your stupid hands on me again, I'll make sure the bullet penetrates your skull . Idiot"

she seethes and walks out leaving him writhing in pain.

She knew he wasn't going to die but at least he was going to suffer.

Death was too easy for a scoundrel like him.

Now all she had to do was find her beloved Cameron and everything will fall into place. Everything.

CAMERON'S POV

I feel the presence behind me before I hear her voice.

"You smoke?"

Skylar's surprised voice fills my ears as her light footsteps get closer.

I ran a hand through my hair, a cigarette between my fingers, inhaling the smoke as I stare at outside at the street and moving cars through the glass window in my room.

Yeah, I do smoke.

When I'm stressed.

"Yhup"

I exhale, watching the smoke leave my nostrils forming a circle in the air before slowly diminishing.

"You're stressed"

she says and I raise an eyebrow without turning to face her.

How does she know that?

"Is it that obvious?"

I ask.

"Well no. I haven't seen you smoke since I got here which clearly means you're not addicted to smoking

. So I figured you're smoking out of stress"

I feel her arms circle my torso as she hugs me from behind, the side of her face pressed against my back. I sigh, taking another drag.

"You do know that secondary smoking is the most dangerous right? Considering, you're just inhaling and exhaling the smoke back into the air and I end up breathing it in because it diffuses into the air.."

I roll my eyes

"Enough of this scientific sh*t princess. I get it" 

I drop the cigarettes into the glass plate, squishing the butt to make sure there's not an ounce of fire left on it. Skylar giggles, pressing her face into my back more.

"it's so hot when you cuss like that"

I turn to face her, smirking.

"You saying I'm hot huh?"

She rolls her eyes in annoyance.

"You're so cocky it makes me wanna puke"

she fake fags causing me to laugh.

I wish I could stay here and listen to the sounds of her beautiful laughter and giggles, watch her bite her lips in nervousness and every single thing she does that almost drives me wild but I can't. I've got to go.

"Alright princess, I've got to take a shower and get ready for work now" "Okay.... I'll be in my room"

I peck her on her lips before trudging into my ensuite bathroom.

The more we talk, the faster she's gonna notice I'm up to something and I can't have that.

Not now, especially when I know she isn't going to agree with whatever I'm planning.

***

It was exactly 8:00 am on the dot when I step into the building.

I hate lateness.

I groan in annoyance when loud chatter fills my ears.

I stand at the door way, watching all my workers chatting, chirping and laughing like it's what I pay them to do.

I cock my head to one side, lips set in a thin line, anger coursing through my veins.

"I'm so glad to know this is what i pay you all for" 

I seethe, voice dangerously low.

The chatter stops instantly, everyone scurrying about towards their respective positions, some muttering good mornings as they pass by me. 

I ignore them and proceed to walk towards my office, pointing at the guy I had put in charge of my absence.

"You. In my office. Now"

he nods shakily following me.

I thought he was capable enough when I left him In charge just for two days but turns out I was wrong.

"Good morning sir. Your coffee is ready"

my secretary follows me into the office, holding a cup of cappuccino.

"Put it downy l and leave. You sit"

I gesture to the young man.

My secretary walks out just as Julian and a lady walks in.

Ah, just what I've been waiting for. 

I turn to the young man.

"Out. Come back when I'm done"

he scurries out immediately shutting the door behind him.

"Please sit"

"Right away amigo"

Julian salutes and I roll my eyes.

"Not you d*ckhead. I was referring to this beauty"

she blushes at my words as she takes a seat. Yea, Cameron the charmer.

"So"

back to to business

"I'm guessing Julian here has briefed you on everything?"

"Yes Mr Knight he has"

she replies

"And you agree?"

"Yes"

"You do understand that this is a very risky job miss..."

I eye her carefully.

She looks perfect for this job.

"Tracy. Tracy Wyatt"

"Tracy. You do understand it's dangerous right?"

I ask. I've got to be sure. I don't want to be blamed unnecessarily incase this entire plan fails.

"I do Mr Knight"

"And you agree with the payment conditions?"

She nods.

"Perfect. You know what to do Julian. You do have Park's address right?"

I turn to my friend

"I tracked his location long ago."

"Good. It was nice doing business with you Tracy"

I get up, offering my hand for a handshake. She takes it.

"Likewise Mr Knight" 

I slump back into my seat as Julian leads her out. Good.

Perfect.

THIRD PERSON POV

Julian parks the car a few miles away from the white mansion.

"Remember Tracy, in there your name is Bridget, not Tracy. Never forget it and be careful. Park Greene may seem like an adorable kind old man at first sight but believe me he's a f*cking devil, so do not be fooled and play your cards right. He shouldn't suspect you in any way, got it?"

"Got it"

the Blondie nods, tearing the front of her shirt open, revealing her bra.

Next, she ripped one side of her skirt and released her blonde hair from it's ponytail, letting it cover the earplug Julian had given her.

Alighting from the car, she bends, fetches some mud and smears it on her face and arms making her look dirty and homeless.

Satisfied, she began to trudge towards Park's mansion wearing only one slipper.

On the way, she pulls out the pepper spray she had and sprays it into her eyes.

She hisses loudly, throwing the spray away as the pepper burned her eyes. She blinks rapidly.

Good, now it was gonna be easier to cry.

Turning one last time, she gives Julian the thumbs up and continues walking just after he drives away before anyone caught him.

Tracy only walked a little longer when two heavy armed men suddenly sprung up from nowhere, grabbing her.

Wow, this place was heavily guarded just like Julian and Cameron had warned her.

"Who the f*ck are you and what are you doing on this property?"

One of them sneers, gripping her tighter.. She begins to fake cry, the pepper in her eyes making it so much easier.

"H..have mercy... I..I was being chased by some people a..and.. I got lost a..and I don't know where I am.. I...please let m..me go"

she stammers.

"You're lost? You don't know where you are?"

They ask, an evil glint shinning their eyes, proof of whatever unpleasant thoughts they were harbouring..

"Y..yes.. I..I'm lost a..and very hungry.. P..please don't hurt me" she cries some more. "She's very pretty. An American too. Light skinned, slim, curvy, Blondie. She'll bring the boss a lot of money, don't you think? I think the boss will like her"

The second man whispers into the first man's ears, too low for her hearing but thanks to her incredible hearing abilities, she did. She pretends to cry louder, hiding her smile.

Wow, this was gonna be so easier than she thought.

She had come here in hopes of meeting Park Greene but then thees fools were taking her to him personally without she having to lift a damn finger. Perhaps, this is how Park Greene worked.

Picking up homeless and naive girls from the streets with the promise of good things ahead only to enslave them.

"S..spare me.. P..please.. L..let me go.. I promise you won't see me again..p..please. I won't.. Say a word, p..please"

she sobs louder and begins to run, trying to escape which was entirely a weak attempt on her part. Both men grab her harshly and begin to drag her towards the gate of the mansion.

. She notices the second man, speak into a Bluetooth device attached to his ears.

Tracy squints her eyes, trying to read his lips.

He was telling someone, they had found a new merchandise, if she wasn't mistaken.

She? A merchandise? Pfft! Julian better increase her payment for having to endure such bullsh*t.

"The boss wants to see you beautiful. Trust me, you'll love it here"

"No. Let me go.. Let me go!"

She begins to fight and trash, throwing her legs about frantically but the men were too strong for her.

"Shut up!"

"Let me go! Please! Let me go!"

She continues to thrash about, making sure her voice appeared weaker and weaker by the second.

She had to make it believable.

After all, this was her job. It was what she did for a living.

"Please. Let me go"

she pants dramatically, letting her eyes droop slowly, slowly until they fall shut as she forces herself to faint, falling limp into the hefty men's arms.

"The f*ck man! She just fainted. Damnit!"

She hears one of them cuss as she lies at the foot of the gate.

"Just shut up and let's drag her inside man"

Tracy uses that tiny opportunity to click on her earplug discreetly.

"It's done"

she whispers lowly.

Thank God her hair was long enough to cover the earplug. She better find a way to take it off now before they find it on her.

***

Cameron smirks clicking on his own earplug.

"Perfect Tracy"

He didn't know where Julian had gotten this Tracy from.

He claimed she was a good actress and knew her job well.

They had paid her millions to pose as a homeless girl who'll get trapped by Park Greene.

Judging from Skylar's story, Park had trapped her when she was helpless and desperate. It seemed like Mr Park liked to lure homeless girls and use them.

And so, even he was using that same trick.

Park had sent Skylar to him as a spy so even he had done the same.

Park wanted to destroy him right? Well two can definitely play the game.

In the game of chess, it was a rule to protect the king but in this case, he going was protecting his Queen.

Park wouldn't know what hit him.
