The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

“It is the police can we come in?” one of the officers spoke out. In a panic, the security officer opened the door and let them inside, he saluted them and asked what they wanted. They stated that they were looking for one Mr. Maxwell Taylor.

The security man’s eyes dropped and telling them to follow him as his boss was well inside, Max’s right-hand man came out to coordinate whether the other boys were doing their jobs as well as whether the car that was supposed to be transported well if was cleaned up already.

Seeing the police officers making their way into the yard, the guard was about to walk back into the house when the officers stopped him halfway. Georgia had recognized him immediately and shouting out in fear, she told the cops that he was amongst those who ambushed their house and attacked her mom and herself.

“You mean to say that you recognize him?” the leader asked and Georgia nodded her head rapidly saying that she never forgets a face, pointed out to him, and walking out of their midst, she gave the man a very hard slap saying,

“That is for pointing a gun at my mother’s head you pig”. Simon held her back seeing her actions as they could endanger her life.

The officials tried to calm her down as they brought her mind to the fact that, she was not supposed to do that. Showing their IDs as being embers of the law force, the commander stated the reason why they were there and asked where Max was.

The lookout was about to tell a lie about his boss’s whereabouts when Max suddenly opened the door from behind as he was attracted by the noise from the dining room where he was having his breakfast.

” Good morning Sir,” the commander spoke out with a straight face and well-toned voice. Max responded to his salutation and asked what he could do for them, he had a curious face seeing Georgia.

Not waiting for the leader to talk about their mission in his yard, he asked Georgia why she had policemen with her and her response was a heavy one to his face. She had never liked Max and always saw him as a fraud and bad man but because he was her best friend’s uncle and only family, she had to keep her instincts and hunch to herself.

“Where did you keep it friend Mr. Max, Crystal is nowhere to be found, and don’t you dare lie about her trip because my friend will never go anywhere without telling me first and will not stay this long without contacting me like she has done these past weeks,” her words burst through his ears.

Max’s blood was boiling inside and his teeth were grinding inside his mouth while his fist twisted behind his back. Endeavoring to maintain the friendly smile on his face and asking Georgia what she was talking about, the officer asked him to please follow them to the station as they had some questions about a missing case of his niece Ms. Crystal Melody Taylor.

“I will follow you but can I get my phone to call my lawyer?” Max asked giving Georgia an unpleasant stare and Georgia not being afraid of him, looked at him too.

“Yes, you may,” the chief said asking his men to bring out the handcuffs.

Simon was just standing there and observing the whole time without uttering any words and seeing how Max and his bodyguard were glancing at Georgia, he pulled Georgia to himself, as tolandher that he did not like the look on their faces.

Gina was in her room thinking of how her life was going to be when all the struggles were over. Feeling happy about the promise that Blaze had made to her, she could not think of anything else but the image of her eatery.

Letting out a sigh, she listened to someone knocking on her door. Wondering who it was as the person knocked and waited, she knew that it was not Crystal but twisting her face, she called out Helena’s voice but there was no response.

Struggling out of the bed, she held her bed and was about to put on her slippers but the voice that came from outside, made her tremble as sweat ran down her face. She could decipher who was standing at her door already and swallowing the saliva that had formed in her throat, she called out,

“Marco.”

He responded opening the door immediately he listened to her calling out his name but Gina still mad at him over what had happened, asked him whether she had permitted him to come into her room.

“I am very sorry, I will just go back outside and wait for your signal before coming in again,” his words came out, and looking at his face, she could tell that he was regretful for whatever had transpired between himself and her downstairs.

Sitting back on her bed with hurt feelings, Gina did not want to push harder as the situation was already ugly and wanting to keep the little sanity that was left inside of her, she lowered her head with respect for the person who was standing beside her, she muttered,

“What have you come to do in the room?”.

” I just want to talk to you Gina, and to apologize for what had happened earlier,” his mouth face way for the words to come out.

Gina’s eyes were already watery as she had been stupid and naive to think that something could happen between someone like him and her, but it had reproduced some sense in her not to believe in fairy tale stories as they only happen in movies.

Not wanting to drag the conversation with Marco, she told him that he did not have to apologize to her for she was a nobody but Marco, wanted to approach her, Gina stopped him by raising her left hand and told him not to bother coming closer to her.

“I have heard your apologies sir and I can assure you that I have nothing against you and your girlfriend and my heart is not to hold grudges against people,” she spoke out keeping a straight face. Marco was not familiar with Gina but seeing her in that state, he noticed how much she was hurt.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
