"Based on the testimony of one of the passengers yesterday, regarding the characteristics of the suspicious person there, I found one of the places where their base is located, Mr." Zeke showed his iPad screen, where there was evidence that he was sure wouldn't be wrong.
"Alright, we'll head there in thirty minutes."
"Understood, Mr." Zeke walked out of Noah's office. And now Noah felt conflicted about something.
Earlier when he had left for work, he had seen no sign that Emma was awake. Was she awake or not, Noah wondered. Should he call Emma?
Unable to stop worrying about Emma, Noah decided to call her.
["Hello, Emma ... Am I disturbing you?"] Emma picked up her phone, which meant that the beautiful woman was awake.
["I've been up for a while."]
["Look, Emma, tomorrow we will fly to Qatar and start investigating everything about their crimes. I swear I will repay them, according to what they did to you. Even more!"]
The phone call didn't last long as Noah had to leave soon. Fortunately, Emma did as Noah said.
"Is everything ready, Mr?" Suddenly, Zeke came knocking on the open door of his office and asked a question.
Noah nodded his head and walked away. Meanwhile, Zeke picked up Noah's briefcase.
They were both ready with the gun tucked into the back pocket of his pants, which was of course covered by his suit.
"What's the latest today?" asked Noah, when they were both on their way.
"Everything about you, Mr ... Take a look." Zeke handed over his iPad which displayed the day's news in London.
[Mr. Noah went down to see the victims at Cambridge station]
[One of the patients said that Mr. Noah was a very nice person. She even fell in love with him at first sight].
While reading the title of one of the articles, Noah looked at Zeke with a shrug.
Then, his eyes rounded as he read one of the articles that caught his attention.
[Is there a connection between the bombing that took place at Cambridge station two days ago and the shooting incident in Qatar?]
"Who quoted the news?" asked Noah curiously.
"Larissa Raquel. She is one of the most controversial journalists in the news, but many readers like her articles."
"Please call her, I want to talk to her," Noah ordered.
Thirty-five minutes later, they arrived at Zeke's suspected base.
The team at the back was also ready, to immediately surround the base with the pistols already in their hands.
"Come on." Noah looked to Zeke for the code.
On the count of three, they both break down the door and you know what Noah sees there!
There were several men with tattoos on their bodies. They were all surprised by the presence of Noah and his team.
"We're from IAE, raise your hands!" Noah ordered.
"We didn't do anything!" One of them spoke up.
"If you want to talk, do it in the interrogation room!"
They all instantly trembled at the sight of Noah and even Noah's voice scared them.
"Take them to the car. I'll check the back!" Noah said, walking carefully with the gun still in his hand.
When he opened the kitchen door, he saw someone trying to escape.
"Stop or I'll shoot you!" Noah yelled.
"Damn it!" Noah cursed and ran because the person didn't listen to his orders.
Annoyed that the man was still trying to escape, Noah shot him.
The shot echoed so loudly that Zeke rushed over to him.
"Mr. Noah, are you okay?"
Zeke's eyes fell on the man screaming in pain. Noah had shot him. But, not wanting to make the man die on the spot since Noah needed their testimony, he shot him in the thigh only.
"Call an ambulance now. And you, wait for him while he's in the operating room."
"Alright, Mr." Zeke shook his head at Noah for taking it so casually, even though he had just shot someone.
That's why Noah could be where he is now because of his calmness and ingenuity at work.
Meanwhile, Noah was going back to the company to listen to the interrogation of the tattooed men.
Thirty minutes later ...
Noah stared at the interrogation room with his arms folded across his chest. The two detectives were interrogating one of them.
"So, what was your motive for causing trouble at Cambridge station?" one of the detectives asked.
"We were just told ... I'll bet that I didn't know anything!"
"By whom?"
There was no answer from the tattooed man, making a curious Noah who was observing him from outside.
"I can't say."
"Well, then we'll put you away for life because you've taken a life."
"No! Please, help me–"
"Then, explain in detail!"
"Sir Lion."
"Sir Lion? Stop playing around, I don't want to listen–"
"Yes, we do know Sir Lion. However, we never met him in person. We only take orders and get paid."
"What else do you know about Sir Lion?"
"He's ... He is in Qatar. But I don't know what he does, but he's not a local. He's an British man who has business there."
Hearing the country of Qatar mentioned, Noah immediately thought of Emma, where they would both be flying to Qatar tomorrow.
Would he investigate the man named Sir Lion also tomorrow when he went to Qatar?
***
10:00 am, Qatar time.
Noah's private jet had just landed at the international airport in Qatar.
As per Noah's request, Emma had to wear sunglasses and a black hat so that no one would see her. Although the people of Qatar did not recognize Emma, Noah was just worried that some of Jovanka's acquaintances here would report her to his father's step-wife.
"So, we're going straight to the location?" Emma asked.
"Mmmh, yeah since we don't have much time here. You don't mind right?"
"Of course not." Emma walked first to get into the car that would take them to their destination.
There wasn't much conversation in the car, Emma was more quiet than usual.
The car would take them to a family that used to be a businessman in Qatar but was now bankrupt.
They hoped that they would return home with important information instead of empty-handed.
As it turned out, it wasn't too far and the car was parked in a modest house.
"Are you the woman who sent me that text message?" Noah asked.
Emma's eyebrows knitted together, having absolutely no idea if Noah had ever communicated with that woman.
"Yes, Mr, this is my house and I was one of the former servants of the late Mr. Ahmed. However, when Mr. Noah's friend wanted to dig up information regarding Ms. Jovanka, I was immediately interested in uncovering it."
"But before that, I would like to introduce Mrs. Jovanka's daughter first."
"Her daughter? Isn't her daughter named Jennifer?" asked a surprised Emma.
The maid shook her head and excused herself for a moment to summon a little girl who was said to be Jovanka's daughter.
Then, out came one of the beautiful princesses with braided hair. She looked shy.
"Hello, Good Morning, Beautiful," Emma greeted the little girl.
The little girl just lowered her face. Then, Noah immediately asked the maid for an explanation.
"She is the daughter of Jovanka and the late Mr. Ahmed. Before Mr. Ahmed passed away, he left behind a one-year-old daughter."
"What caused Mr. Ahmed to pass away?" asked Emma.
"He had a plane crash while on a business trip to Canada."
Hearing this, Emma and Noah looked at each other. Why was the chronology of his death the same as Mr. Adwlyn's?
"When Mr. Ahmed was one month dead, Mrs. Jovanka suddenly did something heinous. She chased away the servants including her flesh and blood. Mr. Ahmed himself was an orphan so if he died, all his property would go to his wife and daughter. However, at that time, with her evil ways, Mrs. Jovanka did not care about her daughter. And now she was abandoned. However, recently I heard that Mrs. Jovanka has become the heiress of a company in New York ...."
"Yes, and it's my family's company," Emma replied.
"I'm sorry about that. Mrs. Jovanka will never come to her senses."
Hearing this, Emma's emotions boiled over. Noah, who realized this, immediately held one of Emma's hands to calm her down.
""What else do you know about Jovanka?"
"She's involved with one of the mafia, but I don't know for sure."
"Then, if I may, I'd like to prolong this matter again since something similar happened to Emma. However, I ask you not to tell anyone that we both came here," Noah said.
"Of course, I won't tell anyone. I also want you to represent us to take revenge on that vile woman!"
The information provided by the maid was very useful. It made Noah and Emma get a little bright spot.
"Jovanka has a friend who has powers. I wonder if she could do such a heinous thing on her own," Emma said as the two of them returned to the car.
"Plane crashed ...." Noah was thinking about something when he suddenly remembered something and asked Emma, "has there been any update on the plane Mr. Adwlyn was on, what caused it to crash?"
"On the news, they said that it was caused by strong turbulence," Emma replied.
"However, I also read in one of the articles that the plane crashed not because of turbulence, but because it exploded."
"Exploded? Who was carrying a bomb?"
"A bomb? Oh My God!" Both of Noah's hands immediately grabbed his head.
"Damn. I'm getting suspicious!" Noah said again.
"Please take us to this address!" Noah ordered the driver.
"Yes, Mr."
Emma had no idea where the car was going this time. Emma thought they were flying back after getting the information from the maid.
An hour into the journey, the car stopped at a car dealership.
"You want to buy a car?" asked Emma as she read where they were now.
"Come on, get out. I want to look for something here." Noah didn't say what he was here for.
To Emma's surprise, Noah suddenly wrapped his arms around Emma's waist as if Emma was his.
"Welcome, Sir ... How can we help you?" said one of the employees at the car dealership.
"My wife, she'd like to have a look at the cars here," Noah said as he glanced at Emma with a bright smile without hesitation.
Now Emma understood that they were putting on a show.
"Honey, this looks great!" Emma brought her body closer to Noah's to make their acting as husband and wife look natural.
"You want that one?" asked Noah.
"Wait, come with me, please explain ...." Emma gave Noah the code to walk around the car dealership while Emma asked the two employees to explain about one of the cars there.
Not wanting to waste time, Noah immediately tried to get into the cashier's place which happened to be that afternoon there were no cashier guards other than the two employees.
Noah turned off the CCTV there so as not to know if Noah was looking for something there.
He also did not forget to install a bug in one of the places that would not be known by them, but still inside the car dealership of course.
Then, he also brought one of the small items there, the item had an inscription. Maybe it could help Noah in his search for the case.
"How's it going, Honey?" asked Noah as he walked back towards Emma.
"Mmmh looks like this isn't the car I wanted," Emma said with a disappointed look on her face.
"Ouch, I'm dizzy, Baby! I think I'm exhausted. Come on, I want to rest soon." Suddenly, Emma complained of dizziness and brought her body closer to Noah's.
"Forgive me to hear that my wife is suddenly sick. Thank you for serving us so well," Noah whispered to the two employees who were already annoyed at the two of them for not getting a car.
Hurrying, Noah and Emma got into the car. While in the car, they laughed together because of her actions.
"Mmmh, want to go to the bar first after this? Since we've worked so hard today, I think we need something to quench our thirst and I've booked a hotel, I guess we can go home tomorrow," Noah suggested, even though their original intention was to return to London today.
"Okay."
Suddenly, a bar was added to their list, and they were both seated on barstools. With two bottles of champagne already standing upright on the bar counter.
"Damn guy! I was nice to him, but he betrayed me!" cursed Emma, who was sipping champagne straight from the bottle. Noah, who was watching her, could only remain silent while shaking his head.
The two of them were drunk together. Because the activities they had done today were tiring.
However, the most drunk one there was Emma.
"If only I had forbidden my father from marrying that demon! Aaaaa it's all my fault!"
Emma's mood at that moment changed, just now she was cursing her ex-fiancé as well as her father's step-wife, and now she was crying because she blamed herself.
Noah desperately wanted to hug Emma. He immediately took Emma into his arms.
"Honestly, I miss our childhood, Emma. I used to admire you so much," Noah whispered, he spoke like that because he knew Emma wouldn't remember him tomorrow.
Then, Emma's head that had been resting on Noah's chest, now the beautiful woman looked up at Noah. So they were very close.
"Mmmh, you're so handsome!" All of a sudden, Emma was complimenting Noah. Her naughty hand was holding Noah's lips.
Noah's heart skipped a beat. They both looked at each other. Until both of them got carried away and brought their lips closer together.
Noah was now the same, already under the influence of alcohol so he couldn't help himself a little.
And there was a pretty intense kiss. Emma wrapped her arms around Noah's neck.
The kiss became so intense that Noah carried Emma's bridal style to one of the VVIP rooms in the bar.
So, what happens next? What will happen in the morning, if they both realize what they've done?
***
"Are you serious, you haven't heard from Emma at all?" asked Jovanka, who looked confused because she hadn't heard from Emma.
"No, I've even tried contacting all her social media, she's not active at all," replied one of her bodyguards.
"Damn. Where did she go?"
Why was Jovanka suddenly on edge? Shouldn't she be happy that Emma was no longer bothering her?
The news of Emma's sudden disappearance three months ago shocked the public in New York, there were several witnesses who last saw Emma walking around in a state of disarray. They assumed that Emma was planning to commit suicide at the time.
Now the police are looking for Emma and if there is no news at all within a month, they assume that Emma has died by suicide. Yeah, Jovanka has rules like that.
People in New York were even fed up with Jovanka suddenly taking Emma's property.
Jovanka chose to sip her whiskey, feeling dizzy from Emma's sudden departure. She had to stay alert, Emma could be a threat to her!
Twenty minutes later ....
"Forgive me, to interrupt you for a moment, Mrs ... Mmh, I've been trying to track Ms. Emma's cell phone, but I can't find anything, I think she turned it off on purpose so no one would find her body," said one of the bodyguards Jovanka had sent to find out Emma's whereabouts.
"That means we don't have to worry about her anymore since she's gone? Hahahaha! I'm now free and all of Adwlyn's property is mine!"
Jovanka burst out laughing because she was so happy to hear the news.
Meanwhile in London
"What about them, have they all confessed?" asked Noah, who had overslept on his way to work because he had just spent the night making plans with Emma, so he slept too late.
"Yeah, Mr, they finally confessed but they never saw Sir Lion in person," Zeke replied.
"Did the IT team find anything with the flash disk?" Noah asked.
"Obviously."
"Alright, I'll be there later. I want to take care of these little rats first," said Noah as he walked into the interrogation room.
They had been here for almost three months, but none of them had dared to speak. And now, one of them dared to speak up about the bombing that took place at Cambridge station two months ago.
"Mr. Noah, if I confess, will I be released immediately?" one of the defendants asked with a frown.
"It depends on how big a crime you committed." Noah put the file on the table.
"So, what do you know about Sir Lion's illicit business?" Noah asked, "remember, I won't take no for an answer!" he warned.
"All I know is that he runs an illicit business like drug trafficking. He won't get caught because he's powerful enough. Anyone who goes against him will die," the defendant said.
"Wow, he seems like a pretty scary guy."
"But I'm not scared at all," continued Noah who knew no fear.
"Why are you keeping quiet? Go on!" grumbled Noah as he looked at the defendant who was scratching the back of his neck.
"I don't know what his motive was for wanting to bomb the Cambridge station, but one thing I do know is that, having failed in that mission, he would do the same thing but this time in a different place."
"Damn. Where?"
"I don't know, Mr, I swear. I'm just a paid errand boy."
Noah let out an exasperated sigh and the next second he said, "Are you going to obey me?"
"I want you to be my spy!"
"Go back to your boss who recruited you to work with Sir Lion. And tell him that you want to work there again. Don't ever mention our names!"
"If you dare to betray us, the team watching you will shoot you mercilessly! They'll even kidnap your two daughters!"
"Mr. Noah ... How did you know that I–"
"Just do as I say! You will follow Zeke's instructions. I don't care if you betray me or not, because we, the members of the IAE, will still monitor you, even your two daughters. You will see!" After saying that, Noah got up from his chair.
"Take care of him! As for the other two defendants, put them back in their cells. If they still won't confess, blindfold them with a black cloth and handcuff them!" Noah ordered.
The officers nodded their heads as if they understood Noah's order.
Then, he immediately headed to the IT team's room.
"What information did you get?" Noah asked in a flat tone.
"Well, Mr, we got information about Mr. Lion's background and weaknesses."
"Holly shit!"
What had Noah just seen that surprised him so much? Was the information so valuable to him?
**
"Emma," Noah called.
During the journey from Qatar to London, neither Noah nor Emma spoke as much as before. Because the events of that night were still haunting both of their minds.
Emma and Noah, having sex. However, Emma did not blame Noah, because they were both drunk.
"Oh yeah, I'm going with Jenred to the park," Emma said, speaking to Noah who was enjoying a snack in the television room.
Jenred was the little boy who was in the ICU at the time. True to his promise, Noah now adopts him as a younger brother. Jenred's presence adds to the warm impression there, which previously felt awkward between Noah and Emma, slowly starting to forget the events of that night.
But have they forgotten what happened that night? Or are they just pretending?
"I'm coming!" Noah answered immediately.
"Wow, you just got off work, Noah."
"I was worried that someone had kidnapped you."
"Are you serious? For God's sake, I'm an adult. Jenred is safe with me."
"Mmmh, this morning, I got a report that a child is missing."
"Whatever. Come on, Jenred!" Annoyed that Noah still thought that Emma was her father's little daughter, who couldn't do anything about it.
The three of them walked towards the park that happened to be close to the penthouse. That night, there would be a show near the park. Emma and Jenred were very curious to see it.
Many people were already getting ready to watch the show. There were so many people, that the distance between Emma, Noah and Jenred was so close, they were crammed together.
Noah was in the center, and he accidentally grabbed Emma's arm.
As their fingers intertwined, Noah was instantly reminded of the night before. Where Noah had enjoyed playing with Emma.
Two hours later, the event was over. And people were rushing home.
"Mr. Noah?" Someone suddenly greeted Noah. The three of them simultaneously turned their eyes toward the back.
"Hi, Grace! Good to see you again. How are you?"
"I'm fine. I'm on vacation here."
"Come on, let's chat at a restaurant!" Since Noah hadn't seen his former coworker in a long time, he took her to eat at a nearby restaurant.
Emma and Jenred, who were hungry, followed him.
"So, how was New York?" asked Noah, looking excited. But a few seconds later, as he said New York, he remembered Emma.
"Oh, yeah, Emma, meet Grace, she works in New York now." Noah introduced Grace to Emma.
"Wait ... Wait, are you Ms. Emma Adwlyn?" asked Grace, who had just remembered when Noah mentioned Emma's name.
"You know me?" asked Emma.
"Of course. I work at the Adwlyn Agency now."
Hearing this, Emma's heart skipped a beat. How could everything have happened by chance?
"I just came in while Mrs. Jovanka was on duty," said Grace, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"No, it wasn't your fault. So, how is New York now?" asked Emma.
"People are now conspiring about your sudden disappearance. And Mrs. Jovanka, already considers you mmmhhh ... Dead."
Grace expected Emma's reaction to be sad. However, it was far beyond her expectations. Emma smiled happily and looked at Noah.
"Did you guys plan this?" Grace asked.
Noah explained to Grace about what they were planning. Why did Noah trust Grace so much? It could be that Grace was now part of Jovanka.
"Do you want to help us?" Noah asked when he had just finished explaining the chronology.
"Okay, so what can I do for you?"
Three Weeks Later ...
New York, July 12 2024
Emma Adwlyn had returned to New York with Grace yesterday to carry out her plan. Meanwhile, Noah was busy with his work, so he couldn't go to New York. In addition to work, he now had a new younger brother–Jenred.
"You're very charming, Ms. Emma," Grace complimented as Emma came out of her dressing room.
"Thank you for helping me," Emma exclaimed as she took Grace's hand.
Grace's presence helped Emma to speed up the realization of her revenge on Jovanka and Jennifer, oh, and let's not forget the Ravens.
"Of course, Ms, I want your rights back to you."
"I already told Mrs. Jovanka that there will be a new debut actress today. And I will be her manager," Grace said.
What exactly was Emma going to do?
They both got into the car to head to the Adwlyn Group. Emma couldn't wait to surprise them.
Earlier, she received a message from Noah, which was quite sweet to her.
[Emma, I believe you can face them. Because I know you're a great person. I'm proud that you've grown so much].
Reading the message from Noah, really made Emma smile to herself.
Before long, her car was parked right in front of the Adwlyn Agency.
Today, the employees idols and actors under Adwlyn Agency gathered in the big hall. After two weeks off due to summer, they were back to work again.
"Are you ready, Ms. Emma?"
How would people react? Will Emma be kicked out by Jovanka and Jennifer again?
