Katarina was boarded on her moving car when she remembered something. She squinted, 'Rawlf's phone has no password?!' However after realizing that a man like Rawlf is too powerful that he do not even believe that a anyone would dare touch his things, Katarina started to relaxed.
Then, she dialed a number. "Tell me what you observed."
"The woman quickly went out of the underground parking area, boarded her car and drove in a fast speed. The man was left in a gloomy face. Obviously there was indeed a misunderstanding between the two people."
Katarina sneered. "What about the woman? How does she looksed like earlier?"
"She looked furious. The kind of face a woman makes being betrayed by her own man."
"Good." Katarina then disconnected. If she is right, then the misunderstanding between the couple should at least caused some rift. Katarina could understand Veronica's kind of woman. She is a person of the underworld and women like her above all else loathed being betrayed and cheated upon, much especially by the man she loves. And especially seeing other woman sitting on her man's lap, Veronica should be furious. Women of the underworld rarely trust men and if they do, it will be sincerely and fully, so to see that scene, Veronica should be angry and her pride must somehow set distance between them.
And if both people were distant from each other, that's the time when Katarina would strike. She knew that it won't take long before Rawlf to find out the truth that's why she must act quickly.
Although doubtful, she still put a little faith that the insane Tan lady hasn't spoken up yet. Maybe indeed has not, since a man like Rawlf wouldn't consider anything else and she and her father will be ended soon. But so far, she couldn't sense anything from Rawlf, that may also mean that they haven't found anything yet. And yes, she is still safe to go on with her plan. She must because she planned and waited for it patiently, for years!
"Should I bring you back to your mansion young miss?" The driver asked.
"Yes please." Katarina smiled and fiddled with her phone.
She just arrived at her mansion when her phone rings. "Pyotr, sweetheart?" Katarina said, her voiced honeyed.
"I settled everything with Bien's right hand, Victorino. Two days, only two days and were good to go. You're good to go."
Katarina paused, "This is what I have been waiting for. I wouldn't have done this alone, sweetheart. This is all thanks to you."
Pyotr "Hmm."
The couple talk for another hour, the content is how they will move their chess pieces. Both people were assured that their conversation is safe since Pyotr is skillful hacker and knows how to protect their devices from privacy breach, however, without them knowing and with too much confidence, their well planned chess pieces are already being under surveillance.
Veronica after arriving back at Baelforce Headquarter went to look for Zero. He found him in his own office.
"My accident years ago has something to do with your older half sister." Veronica said straightly.
Without any qualms, Zero answered, "I've got nothing to do with her, with them."
"Honestly?"
"What happened to me that year, I discovered her mother has also something to do with it. She's…. They're all yours." Zero replied, his loyalty, Veronica knew the extent.
"You still haven't visited your mother yet?"
Zero this time went silent.
"I'm not trying to meddle because it's your personal matter. However, your mother I think was innocent and she even suffered. She doesn't deserve your coldness."
Veronica tapped him on the shoulder before walking to the door.
"She's much safer by not knowing me." Zero said when Veronica was opening the door. She smiled but didn't reply, the meaning is obvious. Veronica although believe that time could only tell. There's still a chance for Zero to change his perspectives.
Right, Veronica is clear that Julie Tan also has something to do with her accident but she's not the mastermind.
The night before, she already told Rawlf to use another decoy phone and leave it in his office and check if anyone dare act this time. Who would have thought that it would be Katarina Cang and that the woman is actually a prepared and quick witted woman. She even has moaning recording being played when she called Rawlf's decoyed cellphone. What else, someone hacked in the CCTV system inside Rawlf's office!
And so, in order for the enemy to finally show itself in the open and to start putting their pawns on the table, naturally Veronica must give them a good show.
Veronica's thought when her phone rings. It's Rawlf. Her face instantly beamed. "Hmm."
"Where are you? It's almost ten." Rawlf said, his voice laced with a gloomy tone.
"I'm staying out of the house for the night."
No reply. Veronica waited and still no reply from the man. "Rawlf?"
"Hmm."
"You're not responding…..," Veronica paused and realizing the man is having a mood swing so she sweetened her voice, "I'll be missing you tonight and for the nights to come."
"What do you mean?!" Rawlf asked in a rather threatening voice.
"Well honey, we're not done acting yet. Until such time I receive a good result from this is also the time we'll know who we really need to deal with."
"Okay." Rawlf replied easily this time, surprising Veronica.
"You know sometimes, I think that you are so lucky to meet me instead." Veronica said, setting her modesty aside.
Rawlf's mouth twitches however he asked back, "Why?"
"Well you see, I'm a very rational woman. I know very well to what extent you are devoted of me. And understanding that, I always try my best to bring out the best in you. You're so lucky it's me you fell for, honestly." Veronica said it with a righteous tone.
"I know. And I'm happy it's you." Rawlf replied indulgently.
Veronica was speechless. This man really! "But what if it's not me? What if it's somebody else?"
"Well…," Rawlf paused some seconds, "It's going to be a toxic one and….. It won't be you. It won't be me. It's another story of other people. While this is ours."
Veronica "Aww", "Are we the good people?"
"You're the good one, I'm the bad one. Equilibrium." Rawlf chuckled.
"I want us both to be good people you know, for our kids, good figures they could look up to, ...yet our circumstances is hopeless." Veronica heaved a sigh.
"You're a good mother. That's the most important thing for me and I know, for our cubs."
"Thank you." Veronica replied with a heartfelt voice.
"No, Thank You." Rawlf replied indulgingly.
"Talking like this with you felt like you're just beside me."
"I am."
Veronica stopped and look around instinctively. She laugh realizing that the man was just playing around.
"Go down. Fetch me from outside. My car is surrounded by your men."
"What?! You're here in Baelforce?!"
"Yes."
