Saira SwitzJefferson:

Sporting a well practised smile,I turn away from the mirror and
make my way to the lobby of the hotel.
As I am walking down the hall,realization dawns in me.

I will be finally able to have peace.
I can finally do right by them.

And the only route to avenge their death is the one and only trillionaire.

He better help me with his free will or else I would have to put in the bigger guns.

As I walk down the steps,I wonder how he will react when he gets to know Rhea,the number one criminal is me?

Ah,I am risking it all,am I not?

But I have it all under command.

I know I do.

Except when I do enter the lobby,I see the usually crowded space vacant.
No receptionist,no valet.No customers.

Ethan comes into view in a blue suit and pants,his back turned to me and just as I am about to open my mouth,a scurry of movement flashes all around me and I see men in black suits with shades hiding their eyes surround us.
All of them are his men.

Gritting my teeth,I tap the silver ring to let the audio recorder start and pray to God that Zoe is hearing this.
Each and every one of these men have guns.

Shit.

Glaring at Ethan,I snarl,'What is the meaning of this?'

Ethan gives me a wicked smile,
'Oh this?'spreading his arms wide,

'Just giving you a taste of your own medicine.'

Seeing the cold look that I was giving,the trillionaire shakes his head and says,'Don't get me wrong Saira darling,no harm shall come to either you or your wanted friends.No,all of these men are here to protect me if needed because well,if you can't fully trust me,what gives you the thought that I trust you?

With a fake smile plastered on my face,I tell this annoying bastard,
'So you're not a dumb prick after all.Good to know.And I didn't know you were so scared of a convict that you needed a whole team of Wreck-it-Ralphs to guard your precious body.
But one thing you ought to know,
she won't like this.'

_____________________

We arrive on the destined location that is actually our hide out.Zoe's dad will kill me if he finds out I allowed a trillionaire and that's why,ladies and gentlemen,all the sixteen bodyguards that Ethan so kindly bought,they are waiting in a villa near this place.
I convinced Ethan that it's totally safe.Don't ask me how.
I guess I have excellent persuading powers.But Ethan must be well trained in self-defense.
Huh.
He is turning out to be quite a mystery.

'Well,this surely doesn't look like a place where wanted criminals come and murder each other.'Ethan says looking at the glass house.

Raising an eyebrow,'Biased much?'

Shaking his head,he says,amusement lacing his every word,'What can I say?I am a first timer. '

I give no reply as I definitely and absolutely don't believe that he is a first timer or innocent.
He can't be.
Am I biased?
Not really.

We wait in front of the glass building and Ethan asks me,'How long do we have to wait?I should have brought a portable chair with me.'

'Sit on the ground if you must.'

Out of the corner of my eye,I see him grinning,'Or I could use you as my chair.'

Bewildered,I turn to look at him but focus on the victim that I was waiting for.
Zoe and Mr.Randolph,the usual doctor that takes care of the whole committee brings in a guy who has a mask covering his face and in full criminal attire except his arm is bleeding direly.
Fury washes over me but I control myself.
Revenge will be ours.

Giving a nod at Zoe,'I will hear it later '
Turning to Mr.Randolph,'Do what you have to do.'

Ethan and I watch them enter the gates and I peak a look at Ethan,he is still staring at the door with a blank expression.

I laugh,'Your fantasy is fulfilled.'

He looks at me and doesn't say anything.

I look at him closely and out of the blue,I say,'You know the Scorpions.'

He smiles dangerously,'I am afraid I do.'

Taking out the pistol,I corner him,
"Who are you?"
He raises both of his hand and smirks,'The real question is who are you?'

Shit.
I should have known.
From the very first step,I should have known.
'You knew my name.'

His blue eyes flash from the pistol and lock to my green ones.
'The Scorpions gave me a file,telling me everything I needed to know.'

'The file in the bank vault.'

'I helped you because you seemed really stressed out.Even though,you were hiding it quite well.And no.I do not take orders from top notch criminals like the Scorpions or The Bikers.There weren't any other purpose of me being here for me.I am not your enemy.'

'Why all this act?'

This idiot smirks again,'You have your secrets.I have mine.But to quench your curiosity,I will only say this,they are keeping an eye on you,bella donna.And they suspect you and now they suspect me.So to keep both of us safe,I pretended like I was only a businessman and not a robber like you are,Rhea Masochistic.'

Remember that feeling when your sibling pushes you into the swimming pool and you scream the hell out?
That's how I feel now.
Except it's a thousand times worse.

'Who.Are.They?'

'Can't tell you. And you don't trust me either way.'Ethan says boredly.

I narrow my eyes and slowly put the gun down.
My mind racing with a thousand thoughts,I look at him,'Those bodyguards,are they loyal?'

He angles his head which only makes him look more beautiful,
'Well yes.'

Already making my way into the building with hands slightly shaking,I tell him,'They will stay at the Villa.And you,'I turn to give him a final look,'will come with me.This is more large than I expected,especially if a trillionaire is involved.'

Waving away Ethan Desmond's look,I hurry in,my head a swirling tornado of fuzzled thoughts but a small part of my brain speaks,
Was that concern in Mr.Trillionaire's eyes?

For me?
