Chapter 37: Chapter 37

A fleet of cars stopped at Simon's resort revealing a man in his early forties disembarking the car while his entourage trailed behind him into the building. A few were left standing outside.

The hotel was empty thus they looked around to find Kate by the stairs with a flaring red ball gown with a lot of skin, red plump lips, and high stilettos to match with her hair in a bob hairstyle. Her neck, ears, wrist, and anklets are adorned with golden jewelry a habit she developed by being Alvin's wife.

She loved jewelry.

" Welcome, Mr. Genesis. This way" she stated pointing to a private box.

After staring at her for some time he strode after her.

" You look marvelous my dear. I take it that seeking revenge is working out just fine for you" she huffed amused then pushed the door open.

" Maybe I'm finding myself as you suggested. I learned from the best" he shrugged taking a seat beside her.

" I guess I'm a pretty good teacher" she smiled staring at him then dropped a briefcase on the table.

" I might say, you've to upgrade your security. I noticed someone following you around. Don't worry I took care of it. He won't be a problem" she looked around confused.

" What do you mean? Someone is tailing me? Who?

" I guess we'll find out soon enough. let's say five minutes. Don't worry I have it covered" she looked around as if she'll find the spy then sighed.

" Okay. What's up? Did you get it? He smirked liting a cigar then puffed out some smoke which spread like wildfire.

" Getting it wasn't easy but yes I have those papers. That was a lot of money. You owe me plenty"

" I know. I needed it. Thanks for your help. It's in your custody. I hope you can do something better with it" he raised a brow seemingly clueless.

" Like what?

" Make it valuable. Reregister it. Rename it. I want it branded. Bill on me doesn't worry. I want you to refurbish it to the top. Don't worry I can handle it I just need you as the anchor. I'm going low-key and whatever we do is against Wilson's properties including their seaports, schools, hotels, airports, and banks. We can go local after that. I know you love competing" he leaned back on the chair dragging his cigar.

" You forget one thing David is a mafia. I need Intels on him"

" You got it. Right here" she tells him handing him a folder and a laptop.

" He let me get too close after hurting me. I want to make him pay. He might be one mafia, I have a group of them and I know after this deal he won't have their protection and support. What do you say?

' smart woman. What about the bastard that broke your heart and took your son away from you?

' it was David Wilson. He manipulated everything. He made me hate Alvin so that he'll have his way with me. He fucking used me as a pawn. For four years I have helped him with information about Alvin's sordid foundation. I know he deserves it for what he did to me but what about David? The man thinks he's clever that he can curb anyone. Oh hell, I'm going to make him a pauper even my dear friend will be wealthier than him. He's going to regret toying with me'

" Then we're in this together. I'll let you know when everything is ready. Be careful Kate. Revenge ruins the kindest of hearts. Do what you can and leave the rest to fate" she glared at him then he scoffed raising his hands in surrender.

" Never mind. I'll keep you updated. About the spy, sorry my boys killed him" she hit her hands on the desk in fury.

" What!

" Calm down. He staged it as an accident. David won't suspect a thing. I guess my visit is safe'

" Are you sure David sent him?

" Absolutely. I may not know your ex-husband but he wouldn't tail someone that has damaged him knowing you have nothing to lose. You have nothing to lose, right? His questions disturbed her for unknown reasons.

Of course, she had nothing to lose. Does she?

' definitely not. Dine with me Carson. Let's catch up on old times"

" As your therapist or friend?

" Both' he hummed smiling widely.

" I'll drink to that" he grinned clinking glasses.

Carson Malcolm was a businessman with a conglomerate in the USSR. Alvin recognized him in an instant as he stared at the screen on Colton's laptop.

That's the man he sold his ports to but why was he on Colton's laptop?

Is Colt investigating him? Or does he have something to do with him?

Quinn wasn't the only one that was good with computers. Alvin sat on the chair searching for a clue.

After hours of searching, he found something interesting.

Kate was his subordinate but how?

Colt leaned by the doorpost watching him search in oblivion then cleared his throat.

" Sir Alvin, is there something I can help you with?

" Why are snooping around? He asked banging his hands on the desk while Colt scratched his hair nervously looking for the right words.

' I wanted to be sure you sold them to the right person for what's worth David might have changed strategies"

" Then what's Kate's name doing here? Kate's chances of knowing Carson Malcolm is inconceivable.. so stop wasting your time" he hummed moving from his position to the desk.

" Yes, boss. I hope it was worth it? Alvin massaged his brows then laughed.

" It was. Everything will be fine Colt. There's nothing wrong with living an honest life but that's after the last blow. Get ready. We're going to the underworld. Something big is about to happen" Colt nods then furrowed his brows waiting for him to elaborate but he was already on his feet ready to leave.

" You have been a wonderful friend and brother Colt. I won't let you down. We're leaving tonight. I need to see Kate. See you later" he wanted to say something but reserved it for the anonymous mission.

That's how much he trusted him.

As he said, he had a bouquet in his hands and a bottle of wine in the other as he stepped into the resort.

The ignorant staff welcomed him.

" Lead the way" he was led to Kate's office.

" Knock and get out" he ordered and it was done.

" Come in' came Kate's voice as Alvin chuckled pushing the door open to see her immersed in staring at the screen of her computer with glasses on.

" You look beautiful" instantly her eyes darted to his then to the flowers in his hand and sneered standing up from her desk.

" What are you doing here? Who let you in?

" Easy love. I come in peace" he teased approaching her as her eyes lingered on the bottle of wine then stepped back.

" What's going on Alvin?

" I came to celebrate with you. Shouldn't you be celebrating? She sighed with her hands folded above her chest.

" Celebrate what?

" Your victory. I sold my ports. You should be happy" she shrugged trailing to her desk then sat halfway on it literally resting her ass on it.

" Hmm. There's nothing to celebrate. I haven't seen what Simon looked like. It's a no for me" he tsked his tongue towering over her. The stiletto heels did their job.

" Too bad. These are for you" she scoffed scrutinizing him then took it.

" What for? Why give a woman that wants your downfall flowers?

" Isn't it obvious? He whispered closing the space between them as Kate furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction.

" Because she's the one after my heart. She'd shoot me and I'll still love her" he tells her stroking her hair.

Her eyes followed his assaulting hands then met his.

" What's the wine for? He huffed lifting the bottle of wine so she can see for herself.

" Something to remember me by someday" her brows wrinkled but she didn't respond to it.

" Let's have a toast to us, Kate. A toast to the life we were supposed to live together. I want to live that way again. Perhaps next time" she watched him pop the champagne then served her.

" For you beautiful Kate" her gaze locked on him for a while before she took it twirling it.

" Are you drunk?

" I wish I was" he replied quickly tucking strands of hair behind her ear then cupped her cheeks.

" Do you know what attracted me to you in that hotel? She stayed rooted in her desk watching him.

" Nothing. Until now I still don't know what attracted me to you but I know the feeling became stronger over the years. It must have been hard ruining the love of your life. The only man you ever loved" she gasped softly still watching his lingering hands on her body.

' what would you do when all this is over? What will Simon say about this? He rubbed her belly button moving to her torso.

' I don't suppose you knew him. My bad. We both lost a son Kate. A son we wanted. It's not too late to stop this. Stop this madness. We can always have another child. We're still young. We can name him Simon if you want. Just come back to me Kate maybe things will be different" she looked away from him then sighed dramatically rolling her eyes.

" Are you done? Get out"
