Chapter 4 4

As a third-world country girl who seemed to not have much in the world, the secretary thought that conquering her would not be difficult. Just by looking at Evan, it was evident to his boss that any girl would feel more than happy to be a part of the magnate's life.

His boss was handsome, approaching his thirties, and was rich. Cheng couldn't think of a better scenario for his boss to fulfill his momentary whim and return to China, where the business needed attention.

Meanwhile, Jeanne, upon arriving home, headed to her room to take a shower. The rain had been too strong, and she could get sick. She got in the shower and felt liberated. After that, she settled down to read her new book and eat the strawberry cream cake that her unknown favorite had given her. It was so much happiness that she didn't even think about the fact that the boy had not only guessed her favorite coffee but also the cake.

When she opened the cake, it hit the book, and it fell to the ground, opening and leaving a note underneath the kitchen counter. Jeanne didn't see it. The only thing she did see was a phone number written with a message on the book flap.

"I hope you want to see me again, as I want to see you, beautiful margarita."

Jeanne smiled at the boy's words and wondered when he had written them. Without hesitation, she took the phone number and added it to send a message right away.

Added Unknown as Cristian

Jeanne: Thank you

Unknown: I thought you wouldn't find my number. You're really passionate about reading.

Jeanne: I haven't had such a pleasant afternoon in a long time.

Jeanne: Although, for you, it might not have been the same. You escaped without giving me your name.

Unknown: You're talking more here than in person. I barely heard a bit of your voice.

Unknown: Did I not tell you? I'm Cristian, a pleasure.

Jeanne: No, you didn't, and you didn't even ask for mine.

Changed Unknown's name to Cristian

Cristian: So, will you tell me?

Jeanne: I'm Jeanne.

Cristian: Do you want to travel the world that much?

Jeanne: What? Not many people know that.

Cristian: I'm a nerd.

The conversation between the two boys continued for the rest of the afternoon and most of the night. It wasn't until the girl had fallen asleep from exhaustion that the conversation ended around 1 am, leaving a smile on her face - a smile she didn't usually have while sleeping. For her, the arrival of the night was almost a nightmare. She couldn't sleep easily, so she had to take sleeping pills along with her depression medication. Being drugged in a more legal way than consuming hallucinogens was easier than dealing with her thoughts.

Outside the girl's house was Evan's car, but the man was not there, only Cheng, who was in charge of watching over the girl while his boss went to a hotel to rest and take care of his business remotely. However, that night was different. Evan was drunk and, with the frustration of the day, all he had left was to drink and plan another way to lure his lamb.

Evan's drunkenness had prevented him from answering a call, which was later made to Cheng, who drove to the hotel where his boss was staying to inform him that they had to return to China immediately. Several warehouses where Latin girls who went to China with the illusion of a new life were stored had been burned down. However, they fell into a VIP prostitution network that included the most powerful men in the world as clients and had no human limits for all the whims that they had to fulfill.

With this incident, Evan had requested millions and would have to return to take care of it and make it clear to the person who did it who was in charge.

The only thing he regretted was leaving his lamb alone. He wanted the next time he traveled to China, he would do so with the girl who had stolen his whole being, but for the moment, it could not be that way.

Reluctantly, he ordered Cheng to prepare the private plane to leave the country immediately and hire someone to watch over the girl, of course, without her noticing. He wanted to know even the number of breaths she took every minute, every day.

Evan had to travel to the outskirts of the city to take off from a military runway. It was amusing to know that even the government was soaked in illegality in that country, and being the king, the biggest fish in the world of illegal businesses, he could rule in that country even better than in his own country. It was comforting because it meant that he already had control over his lamb.

"Everything is ready for takeoff," said Cheng, pulling his boss out of his thoughts.

"Great, make sure she has proper surveillance," Evan said, looking out the window. "Don't worry, my lamb, in a few days, I'll be back for you. Enjoy your last days of being single because when you're mine, you'll never be alone again."

He said the latter with a dark tone in his voice, his eyes were dark, and with such a terrifying gaze that even Cheng, who had seen the things his boss was capable of, had never felt fear like now.

A fear that later turned into sorrow and pity for the poor girl who was soon to fall into the hands of a great predator and could never leave those claws. She was condemned to be with Evan, and she did not yet know it.
