Chapter 92 Extra Chapter 7
Duante’ pov

Is this happiness I'm feeling? Did my father feel it when my mother was pregnant? I would have definitely asked him if he were alive. But I haven't been this relentless then.

I ran my thumb over the black-and-white photo. My child. I haven't seen him, hold him but I feel attached to him. Tom must be feeling this. I couldn't talk to him. There are some battles that we have to face alone. He was acting on my advice and concentrating on the business. But he was also digging into the matter, trying to find the person who was behind all this.

I heard the softest footsteps. It was easy to detect when you were aware of your surroundings. My eyes lifted from the file. Cristiano strode into the hall, his hands were shoved in his pockets.

I motioned him to the front chair. “ I was expecting you, but not alone?" My brows shot up. I was certain he would fall in love with Angela. Her frightened look reminded me of the day when I first saw my wife, draped in a beautiful dress, surrounded by some scoundrels.

"She's busy with engagement preparations." The ring gleamed on his ring finger.

"So, I was right." I gestured with my index finger at his ring.

A full smile crawled on his face. "Yes, Duante. I thought it was the first stupid thing you told me. Look at me now. It just stuck. We're having the ceremony. I haven't decided when. " He laughed while getting in the chair.

I smiled but I couldn't hold the crease crawling over my forehead. He wouldn't be here without his girl if something. My gaze turned to him.

"He has hired some assassins to find your wife. I have a place in Switzerland. It's safe." He told me.

I shook my head. "Let them come to their death."

"It wouldn't be wise to take risks when she's pregnant. I won't suggest this. He's finding her everywhere like a fucking dog." He said, darkly.

"Wouldn't I have considered this? If I want her to stay behind the line she has to see the danger. She hasn't stopped trying to find a way to reach me. Lack of internet and phone have slowed her attempt. But I couldn't stop her. She is born stubborn." My hands fisted. I hated it sometimes.

"That irks you." He chuckled.

"I won't deny it." My shoulders shrugged. I didn't lie to my friends. And I didn't like anyone to lie to me.

"Caprio has explained everything to Drake. He'll keep you updated."

I nodded. " And Tom?" I asked, holding my breath. I had hurt my wife. Tom was everything I had. Now my wife was also part of my life.

"Miserable," Cristiano replied.

I held myself from rubbing my temple. He was with Mini and her family and taking care of the business. I couldn't tell him. It wasn't that I didn't trust him. Andrew would know from his expression and hurt him to reach me. I didn't want that.

"And?" I asked.

"Drugs. We have to stop him. We can't let him spoil your international medical companies. Your mother raised them for poor people."

I wanted to kill him. But I needed to wait. Drake had already informed me about it in the morning. I was certain he would visit me soon. "When should we go?" I asked.

"Now. We will be back before midnight." He glanced at his wrist. "I can tell you have already prepared for everything." He said.

I couldn't wait to see his face after knowing the damage I was going to do to him. I smiled getting on my feet. He was from a few people who could understand me.
