Chapter 112: Chapter Hundred and eleven

Her craftily curated manipulation tactic worked on Dante in no time, she worked perfectly on his gullibility and short sightedness and created such an excellent alternate tale, depicting Dominic to he the villian in Lucy Rose's personal life and happiness when in actuality, it's all her doing, she's the one who have kept her daughter under a tight dominating leash due to her insecurities, however, she'll rather chew jeans and rusted nails than admit it out loud even though she's fully aware of the truth, then she made him another offer that was too sweet and irresistible to pass over. '... I'm not asking you to do all these for free, you didn't raise her or watch her grow so I understsnd it you don't feel any parental love and responsibility for her, which is why I'm willing to pay for the help you'd offer...' he has the decency to look affronted at her suggestion but she didn't care for his petty feelings, she refused to believe he'd go out of the way to help a daughter he willingly abandoned without dangling and incentive before him, so she went on'...I have thought hard about it, draining your slush fund for a wild goose chase is not exactly a good idea, Dominic thinks so too and though I hate to agree with him on any thing, it's the obvious truth. I got more than enough settlement from my divorce with Dominic, I didn't touch a penny of it, rather, I invested it and over the years, it multiplied into enough for me to create several secret slush funds under fake personalities, and the kicker is, Dominic doesn't know a thing about it, I made sure of that and I was very careful not to give him an hint. I did all these because I know a day would come when I'd need every penny on earth to finally be able to break free from Dominic and I can't think of a much better time than now, I and my daughter have endured enough and I am willing to buy our freedom at any cost. If you accept this deal I'm proposing and help me save my daughter from Dominic, I'd give you 50 percent of my secret funds to use in financing your search, that way, you wouldn't have to use yours and risk falling deeper into financial crisis. So what do you say Dante?' she didn't need his reply, the calculative look on his face have her all the answer she needs, Dante agreed to play in her game, but she gave her conditions still.

'I have worked so hard to get to this point and I won't take any risk in jeopardizing it, find the mole in your gang and obliterate him before Dominic gets a whimp of that we are planning, only then can we move ahead' he readily agreed, whether or not she had asked, he already had it in mind to do that the moment she told him about it.

'How are we sure the mole isn't reporting your visit as we speak?' he asks, once again feel the boil of anger in his blood stream at the betrayal of one of his trusted men, he alwaye knew some of them gave more reverence to Dominic than him, but it didn't make the sting of the betrayal feel any less, it's pure insubordination, one he wouldn't stand for or forgive, and when he finally gets the culprit, he'd make such a lesson of him that no one would dare to think about ratting on him no matter the prize involved.

'That isn't going to happen, I planned this meeting strategically, and as we speak, I can assure you that not a single one of your men know I'm in this Villa, no one has seen me or knows I'm here, except you off course' she confess with a self satisfied smirk that onlyafe him even more curious. Now this was the trait thatade him fall in love with her in the first place, she's a daredevil, a spitfire, she's the woman who dared to abandon her entire family and root for the man she fell in love with, she's the woman who dared to seduce her husband best friend and take him as her lover on her matrimonial bed, times without number, she's the woman who dared to negotiate a divorce from Dominic Ivanova and still had the audacity to remain in his house and his life without an iota of fear, and finally, she has dared to break into his formidable fortress, his Villa, unseen and undetected by anyone, not even the cameras, else the alarm would have blared to signify the intrusion of a stranger, all he could do was stare at her in awe, she's ten times the man he hopes to be in all ramification. He wants to know how she managed it, wanted to ask how she did it, but he knew she'll never tell, she has always been like that, open and readable as a book, yet cunning and secretive to a fault, so instead of asking, he made her a promise, a vow.

'I'd fine the mole, and any other one that they might be and out and end to their miserable existence, and I'd help us safe our Lucy Rose from Dom, no matter what it takes, I know I've been nothing but a shitty father, I don't even deserve to be called one, but even if it's the last good thing I'd do, I'd rescue my daughter at any cost and give her the life she truly deserves. This is my promise to you Mo!' Those words gladdened Monica's heart, finally, she can see all of her plans and schemes falling into place.
