Chapter 13

Imbeciles! All of them were stupid, weak and pathetic! The ghost killer though as he watched the twenty armed guard patrol the Giovanni estate. He saw five potential target points, and that was just from the spot that he was standing. Of course the guards didn't know that he was there, which was another reason he thought them stupid. They were so busy walking around and pretending to be tough that they didn't know that they had a dangerous killer in their mix.

It only took the ghost five minutes of assessing each guard to learn their weaknesses. If he wanted to, he could have killed them all without breaking a sweat. But that was not his mission.

Riccardo Giovanni came out to talk to one of his men and the ghost killer watched him. Just then Riccardo's head turned and peered at the corner where the ghost killer was hiding. It was like Riccardo sensed him, but that couldn't be because the ghost killer knew that where he was hiding no one could have seen him.

Riccardo turned back to his men and the ghost killer turned and leave. He had a mission to carry out. Another target he had to eliminate for his boss.

"I'm not staying here another day, Martin, I want to go home. Why can't I go home!?"

Maggie was fed up of being locked away and lied to. Did Martin really expect her to believe that Riccardo's home was almost robbed? She wasn't an idiot, she knew that something was amiss. For two days Martin and Riccardo had her and Michelle locked away in some house.

After her and Michelle was sent to hide in the office, the men came back about two hours after for them. Maggie had wanted to leave the room and go in search of Martin, but Michelle prevented her from leaving. She was furious at first but Michelle told her that there wasn't any way that she could have helped him. After thinking for a while she realised that Michelle was right.

They were both terrified and worried that Martin and Riccardo were hurt. They hardly said a word to each other the entire time that they were in the office. When Martin and Riccardo appeared both of them were happy and relief. They didn't ask any questions or objected when they hurried them out of the house through the back entrance and brought them to the safe house.

After things had settled, it was only then that Maggie started to question what had happened. And when Martin told her that it was an attempted robbery she didn't buy it. Michelle, on the other hand, believed every word that Riccardo told her. Maggie didn't know if she was faking it or if she genuinely believed it.

It didn't matter either way to Maggie, she intended to find out the truth. Riccardo and Martin were hiding something and she wanted to know what.

"What's really going on, Martin? And don't attempt to delude me with your attempted robbery bullshit."

Martin scratch his head and sighed tiredly, it looked like the events of the last few days were catching up with him. Maggie almost felt sorry for adding to his troubles, but she wanted to know what he was keeping from her.

"Please just drop it, Maggie. Just trust me when I say it's not safe for you to go home right now."

Maggie shook her head, she wanted answers not excuses. Why wasn't it safe for her to go home? What really happened at Riccardo's? What the hell was he hiding from her?

"You're still not telling me why it's not safe to go home!"

Maggie shouted, completely irritated.

Martin dropped his hand from his hair and walked over to her, pulling her into his arms, he buried his face in the hollow of her neck. Maggie inhaled sharply, being caught off guard. A small moan escaped her lips as he kissed her neck, moving over her collar bone. His grip on her tightened and Maggie's knees began to buckle. Her hand came up, holding onto him for support.

Her head was thrown back and her eyes were closed. His kisses moved from her shoulders to her lips and her brain went blank, all she could think about was him and his wicked lips.

Maggie was about to give into him, but a sneaking feeling came over her...he was trying to distract her from asking questions. She pulled out of his embrace and glared at him as best as she could. Her senses were all over the place and she was turned on behold belief, but she was also very pissed off, and Martin saw it too.

"Nice try asshole, but seducing me will not get me to shut up and stop asking questions."

Maggie looked at him head on, letting all of her irritation show. However, Martin didn't look the least bit affected by it, in fact, he himself looked pissed off like he's had enough of her questions.

"Don't ask questions you don't really want to know the answers to."

Staring her dead in the eyes, he continued, "Curiosity killed the cat, Maggie."

Maggie squared her shoulders and shot back, "Lucky for me this cat's got nine life."

Maggie didn't want to back down, but the look of absolute terror in Martin's eyes stopped her. For whatever reason, he was terrified of her knowing what really happened, but that only made her more curious. She decided to hold back her questions and give into him, but she promised herself that she was going to find out what he was hiding.

"Fine, Martin, you win...for now."

"Everything is in place, the house security has been updated and more guards has been put in place. It's safe now for you to return to your home, boss."

Riccardo thanked Peter, he would have to give him a raise in pay soon. Peter has been nothing but loyal to him and loyalty should be rewarded. Peter nodded then turned and walked away.

With the house ready from his return, he decided to go in search of his wife. He was surprised how calmly Michelle was taking everything, he expected her to freak out and ask more questions, but she didn't. He didn't like lying to her, but it had to be done. The last thing he wanted was for her to find out about him like that. He hoped that he'll never have to tell her and that meant finding the bastard who was after his wife and kill him.

As he walked through the house he passed the room where Maggie and Martin were staying. Maggie was yelling at Martin for answers while Martin tried his best to dodge her questions. Riccardo only had two more rooms to go before he reached the one Michelle was staying in. All he wanted to do was see her beautiful face and get lost in her body.

Finally, he came upon the room. The voices of his best friend and his secretary were still drifting, but it wasn't as loud. He turned the knob and walked into the room. He shut the door behind him, shutting the voices out as well.

A smile of extreme satisfaction came on his face when he saw Michelle lying in bed. For a moment, all he could do was stare. The way her delectable body was tangled in the sheet was nothing less than erotic. He was debating with himself whether he should let her sleep or join her in bed. It was a hard decision, but in the end he decided that she needed the rest.

He still hadn't had a chance to discuss what had happened in the school. After the shooting, he busied himself with making his home safe for her and finding out as much information on who was after her.

His people already found the witness who claimed he was the ghost killer and she was waiting to be questioned by him, but first he had to make sure Michelle was safe.

After deciding to let Michelle rest, he walked into the bathroom with the intention to wash the day off of him. He turned on the shower and let the water run for a bit. Running his hand over his jaw he felt his two-day stubble, he's been so busy he forgot to shave. He opened the cupboard over the sink and retrieved his shaking kit. Whiles closing the door his hand hit a bottle of aspirin over. Cursing he bend down and grabbed it, just then his eyes caught something in the bin. He grabbed it as well and turned it over to have a better look at it.

Riccardo didn't know much about pregnancy, but he was sure that the bold writing on the stick that said pregnant meant that his wife was pregnant. The fact that she was expecting his child make him a very happy man, but it also made him a very dangerous man. Now he has not only his wife to protect but his baby was well.
