Chapter 32: The Exit Plan

24 hours before…

Mia Duncan's POV

"You can't be serious, Mia. After all, what we have been through and done together for the last 6 months, you can't just throw away the life that you have built here, in the United States," Sabrina, one of my friends at Femme Fatales and founders, has been giving me a headache after I spilled the bomb that I wanted to quit.

"Look, Sabby, do you remember why we found this organization in the first place?" I asked her as I was sitting right across her at the table. We were at the organization's lounge as we were having a chill day and did not have anything to do. Alina, Anastasia, and Camila were out to have some relaxation at the spa. Sabrina and I were more of the stay at home kind of gals.

"yeah, it is to help other people that were being bullied by bad people. Sorry, not a very formal language used but you get the point," Sabrina said as she sipped on her coffee in the middle of the brunch time.

"I'm hungry, do you want to get out?" I asked her as I got up from my seat.

"Where in the world we get some brunch at this time?! For god's sake, Mia, you need to reach your memory. We were in the middle of nowhere remember?" Sabrina said as she mentioned to the drought and our headquarters were in the middle of a mountain that has no access to the public, only to the members of the Femme Fatales.

"Fine, so what do you suggest we get food around here?" I asked her as I crossed my hands in front of my chest. Sabrina smiled at me wickedly as she got up from her seat.

"I know just a place," she said before dragging me out of the building.

"you know, when I said brunch, I don't mean that we need to go to the club in the middle of the afternoon," I said as I looked at the sign of the club, 'Femme Fatale'.

"You will like it here, I'm sure. Now, don't be a sour puss. Come on," Sabrina said as she went inside the club. I sighed and rolled my eyes before I entered the club while mumbling about how dumb it was to come here.

"Ladies, welcome," the familiar voice of the man-made me shot my gaze in Sabrina's direction.

"Sabby, don't you say that.." Was the last thing that I said before I was rudely interrupted by that man.

"yes, Sabrina told me that you want to quit the club. Any reasons why?" Our boss said as he looked at me and ushered us to take a seat at the table.

"umm, I have enough of this espionage life. I wanted to be with the man that I have left behind and loved dearly. I can't bear to watch him for searching me again," I said as I looked at the old man's face. He looked at me before he sighed.

"I know that feeling. I would never miss the world to be with my beloved," he said as he looked at his wedding ring on her left hand. He took a deep breath before looking at me.

"go, little Duncan, be with the one that had stolen your heart from the beginning as you came to me to build this organization," the old man said as he looked at me with his fatherly love. I smiled before I got up very fast that caused my chair to stumble back.

"thank you, sir, thank you," I said before I took Sabrina into my arms to hug her.

"Okay, I let you just this once," she said as I bear-hugged her.

"thank you, thank you, oh thank you, Sabby," I whispered to her.

"don't mention it. And say hello to your boo," she said as she patted my back.

"Have a safe trip home, Damia Duncan," the old man said as I went out of the Femme Fatale club and ran off to catch a cab at the side of the streets. A cab stop and I went inside.

"to the airport please," I said as I was too eager to get out the United States.

"Shouldn't you pack and clean your identity first?" My taxi driver said as he looked at me. I knew him everywhere as he was the one behind our tech guy.

"Okay fine, but make it quick, I can't wait to surprise Liam," I said as we went out of the street and into our headquarters.

After we have reached the headquarters, I asked Valentino to make sure that everything was in order. He was the one that set up my new identity and helped me to get settled back in Scotland.

"Oh, Val, thank you for everything, I won't forget it and you guys too," I said as I was about to depart from the airport in Los Angeles to Scotland.

"it's okay, honey. We understand. I wish that I would find my love as well later in life," Camila said as she was being the drama queen as she always was.

"Yeah, right, if I ever met my soulmate, I will make sure who's boss," Sabrina said as she looked at me.

"But, of course, we some exception," she continued before blushing hard. I wonder who will be the soulmate of Sabrina Dubois, the ace of Femme Fatales.

"ah, don't forget to call us whenever you have something big happened in your life. Oh, I don't know, maybe you will get pregnant and have a baby, a very cute baby," Anastasia said as she looked at me as well.

"Well, I don't have anything to say but if that guy ever made you cry, call me. I'll take care of him soon and he would never come to see you again," Alina said with all her dark energy surrounding her.

"o-ka-y. I guess I have to go know. I'll call you when I got there, or maybe email. We don't want the government to know our dirty job anyway," I said before I went into for TSA checkpoint.

"Have a safe trip, Mia!" They all shouting at the back of my head as I looked back on my shoulder and waved at them.

"New beginning here I come," I mumbled as I gave my Scotland passport and my flight ticket.

Present time…

"Mia, Mia, Mia! Where are you? We need to go now, the Opera will be starting in 15 minutes," Liam said as we were having a rush to get everything done. I was having my makeup done as I don't tell him the whole thing about me being back in Scotland.

"I almost did," I said as I went out of the bathroom. I put my keys, phone, and purse into a handbag and was ready to go.

"I'm ready," I said as I went out of the bedroom and I saw that Liam Hunt was dressing up in his black Armani suit that made my mouth waters instantly at his gorgeous site.

"ready?" He said as he was putting on his cuff links. I blinked a few times to make sure that he talked to me.

"Yeah, yeah, Yeah! I am ready as I will ever be," I said as I can feel that I am underdressed.

"We will be meeting with someone important after the Opera, is that okay with you?" He said as he took me by the hand and led me out of the apartment to the garage.

"Yeah, I'm okay with that. but, don't you think I'm underdressed to meet such person," I said as I looked down at my dress. It was a strapless silver dress and a matching wedges. Liam took a look at me before kissing my temple.

"You're gorgeous as always, Mia," he whispered before he mentioned me to get into the car as he went to the driver seat. He started the ignition and drove off to meet the persons that I have no idea who they were.

"Your seating is ready, sir," the helper said before Liam ushered me into the box and closed the private box from the public view.

"you know why I liked this private box?" Liam asked as we were sitting closely together that would be uncomfortable for most people but I don't care about it.

"why is that, Mr. Detective?" I flirted with him back.

"Because," he whispered into my ear, " it allows me to do wicked things to you while the show was on," he whispered again as his hands were getting inside the dress that made me go crazy with his touches and panted for more. Along the 4 hours of the show, Liam has shown me the possibilities that he can do with his hand. I was out of breath and disoriented after the show. I looked at him and he licked his hand that was inside my dress.

"More to come for tonight, love, but I'm afraid that we have to meet my guests," he said before pulling me up from my seat and took me outside the sitting box.
