"We're here" Gaël announced, looking out of the window and now could finally calm down. I let out a breath of relief, turning to Jaxon who all of a sudden rested his head on my shoulder. He lets out a breath, closing his eyes.

I laid back, resting my head on his as Mateo's voice could be heard talking into the radio in the background. The helicopter landed a couple of seconds later and I quickly rose to my feet after he had removed his head from my shoulder. I quickly helped him up and Gaël grabbed both suitcases of money before walking ahead of us and opened the door.

As soon as we stepped foot onto its helipad, hundreds of Agosto's men came out and surrounded us with their guns drawn. A frown made its way onto my face as I was quickly pulled to the back of Jaxon. I stared at him in confusion and seeing that I was confused, he spoke to me. "Just stay behind" his voice was barely audible but it held seriousness.

I didn't reply to him and instead kept quiet as the place fell in silence. "Master!'' They all of a sudden said as if they were greeting someone and I was sure it wasn't us they were speaking to.

"Well, that was fast" A very familiar voice was heard, coming from behind the men that surrounded us. I frowned even more while trying to take a peek to see who it was but couldn't because Jaxon never let me.

The sound of footsteps became audible to my ears. It was heavy but slow..as if the person was taking his time while walking. "So, how was it?'' Yeah, I now know who it is that was talking. The voice belonged to Agosto.

"It was a success, boss. They managed to get both suitcases and the black card as well" Gaël answered Agosto's question and a small chuckle left his lips.

"Leave boys, there's nothing to worry about," He said, dismissing them. Placing their guns away, they turned around and retreated. And I was finally pulled away from his back and was now standing beside him.

"I'm impressed...Mr. Black" he said with a look of amusement on his face. "Especially by your woman" he added, bringing his filthy eyes to me. I squirmed, looking away to Jaxon who had suddenly clenched his Jaw

"I have completed our agreement, now I need my answer" Jaxon spoke up while sending him a glaze and a small smirk made it onto Agosto's lips.

"Well how about we look after you first?" he suggested, his eyes averted to Jaxon wounded arms, covered in blood.

"No, just give me the answers-"

"Jaxon, look after yourself first" I cut him off, saying. He looked down to me with his jaw clenched but his face slowly relaxed and he gave in with a sigh.
