The Billionaire's Daughter

Chapter 31: Realization

Romano

We were almost caught. I was still lucky I have thought of everything beforehand. The family decoy and

diversion was effective.

Now I just need to ensure I don’t have any loose ends.

Looking at the list of abandoned safe houses we have used during our military days, I figured I have to

choose the farthest and least used to ensure that they will not track us easily.

I parked at a shopping mall and we transferred into another car. Saphira was still unconscious and I

had to carry her out of the cab into the other car. This part of the parking area has no installed CCTV

camera.

Now, we just have to drive to the safe house undetected and tomorrow, the private plane that will be

flying us out to Morocco will be ready.

Soon, Saphira will be mine. Nobody can ever take her away from me. I will no longer feel empty and

unloved. She will learn to love me and care for me just like Carina did before.

“Franco. . . please help me. . .Franco. . . I need you. . .”

I looked at Saphira and was about to cover her mouth so I won’t hear about her Franco when I felt her

feverish face. She was delirious with her fever. I had to hurry. The safe house if I am not mistaken, has

some medical supplies and food that may help us.

After an hour drive, we reached the safe house near the coast. This will be a perfect spot to fly the

private plane tomorrow morning that will take us to paradise Morocco.

“Saphira, we’re here. I will just prepare your food.”

“Franco. . . please I need water.”

“My name is Romano! Why do you keep on saying that name when I am just here for you. I am always

here for you.”

My heart is breaking whenever I hear someone else’s name come out from her lips. I want her to be

mine but how can I do that if she keeps on thinking about that Franco?

Why can’t anybody love me and accept me?

I will not give up. It was a wrong move to let Carina go before. I searched for her to know why she

cheated but she was gone. Now, with Saphira, I will not back down. She will be mine.

Agent Trey

I found them. But I cannot tell these guys where. I had to go by myself first and try to reason out with

Romano. If I bring the Police, he might get hurt. I know just what to do.

Faking a call conversation and lying was easy especially if you are a trained agent.

“Hey. I was called at the office. The decoys mentioned something about Romano that may help us with

the case. I will just look into it and give you an update once I have it.”

“Just call us if you find out anything.” The head of security replied.

I saw Franco and Rob look at me then at each other. I have to look out for these two. They seem

unconvinced about me.

I gathered my things. Transferring the data to my mobile and deleting the data from my laptop just in

case.

My hunch was correct. He used the safe house near the coast. It will be convenient to plan his escape

by private plane there. He can use the ocean as runway. Romano is also a trained Pilot and he has

several private planes being kept in secret holding areas across the City. I traced his account and one

of his biggest private plane was to be transferred to the safe house at dawn tomorrow.

Now, to execute my plan I have to lose this two lover boys first.

“Franco, Rob, do you want to join me at the station? So you can question them yourselves?”

They were still looking at me suspiciously but it was Rob who answered.

“Yes. Thanks. Shall we go?”

“Just follow me using your car. I ride alone.”

And so we did. I just hope they will not bear a grudge with me when I loose them in the streets.

Rob

Franco and I were suspicious of Agent Trey’s actions. It seems he was hiding something from us.

Whatever it was we have to find out to ensure that Saphira’s safety will not be jeopardized.

We were following his car closely when a huge truck crossed the street and we lost sight of him.

“Damn it! Now how do we look for him?!”

“We don’t’ have a choice but to just wait for his call.”

“All these waiting are making me crazy! It’s almost two days since she was taken Rob! What could

have happened to her?”

“I know. I am worried for her too. Let’s just hope this Agent Trey is really the best in his field. But I still

have one hunch to try. Come on let’s visit one of my friends that might help us.”

We went to my hacker friend Ralph. He was one of the best hackers in the country and I am sure he

can figure out how to find Saphira.

“Hey Ralph, wake up man! I need your help!”

His mother recognized me and let us in his room, which is usually as messy as his hair.

“Who is it? Shit Rob man! How are you!”

“Man, you’re breath stinks! Just get up and try to help me A S A P! My girl is missing and we need to

find her.”

I heard Franco’s breath hitch at the sound of “My girl” but I don’t care. I need Ralph to help me and this

will make things less complicated to explain.”

“Geez! I don’t even know you have a serious girlfriend! Wait, what do I do?”

“You have to trace them. I had an idea from the secret agent her parents hired. Will you get up already!

You’re wasting time man!”

“Alright alright! You’re such a bugger you know!”

“Thanks man, you’re a bugger too.”

“Shut up. So, tell me the details.”

And so I proceeded to tell him the details of the search and my idea on how to track them.

“I see, this is kinda complicated knowing that we have secret agent on the loose. But Ill try.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ralph, as I have mentioned is the best hacker in the country. He hacked in the CIA system and found

out that Romano and Trey were previously comrades on their Alpha team and partners as well since

they were still in Military school.

“Do you know you can have me arrested for this? CIA will surely know I hacked into their system and

will be here in a few minutes. So hurry and tell me what to look out for next.”

“Look for possible safe houses that is being used currently? Or private planes being booked for long

distance flights? Can you do that using the satellites or something?”

“Geez, the sporty boy returned to being a genius. Do your girls know you were a geek before you

became super hunk?”

“Shut up man and do your thing!”

After a few minutes of his tinkering with his computers. Yes, Ralph have a massive computer setup

complete with satellite dish, four big monitor screens and a gigantic CPU that lets him do powerful

hacking and computer stuffs.

“I got it!”

“I tracked Romano’s private plane collections and one was scheduled to be flown near the coast. It so

happens there was also a safe house near that area according to CIA’s files. Now, hurry. Here’s the

address. The CIA will be here soon and I just hope they will still accept me as their new recruit, since

they offered it to me last week, else man, you have to visit me in jail”

“Thanks man! I know you can get out of that mess. You’re the best right?”

“Yeah. And don’t forget that I was your best friend too. So visit me in jail!”

“I will! Thanks Ralph!”

“Go! And good luck with your girl. I hope you find her. Dodge the bullets if ever there will be some!”

And so we rushed out of the house before the authorities arrive. We looked at the address and even if

we are not equipped with any training or weapons, we knew we had to go there immediately for

Saphira’s sake.

The realization that Saphira may be in deeper trouble now that two trained military agents may be

against us makes me shiver in fear.
