CHAPTER 29 Hoping
Leo parked the car not far from Ysmael’s mansion where he was hiding. But it was hidden so that the guards at the mansion could not see them. Her jaw almost dropped as she stared at the mansion not far from them. Money can do anything. Who would have thought that the owner of this mansion was a Drug Lord? Money from illegal. Definitely, the mansion was guarded.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Leo came out. She went out as well. They headed to the farm where the mansion stood. They bent over in the side of the high gate so that they could not be seen. Leo peeked at the cleft of the gate. Because he is tall so he can see inside.
“There are guards outside. Four people. Don’t separate from me, Rhianna. When you see someone shoot them right away.” he whispered to her.
“Yeah sure.” she answered.
She can’t help but smile. He trusts her completely now. It was not like before that he doubted her ability. So she had more self-confidence in what he said. She just followed Leo to the farthest part of the gate. That’s where the back of the house is.
He pulled a wire out of his pocket and expertly placed it in the padlock where they could be entered. She was surprised at what he did. He knows how to lock-pick. Shet! It will be added to the charm he had. She wants to kiss herself. They are here for the mission. Why is she thinking? Argh!
“You know how to lock-picking.” she commented. He looked at her.
“Of course Rhianna. An agent must be good at this.”
“All of you know that?”
“Yes.” he replied. She looked down. She was ashamed. She didn’t know that.
“Rhianna you don’t have to be good at this because I won’t let you go on a mission without me. I might go crazy.” he said. She bite her lips at what he said to prevent herself from thrilling. She was fascinated by what he said. He had already opened the lock connecting the gate.
“Let’s go.” he said and took her hand.
She looked at her hand he was holding. It was as if electricity was flowing through her body because of the contact with their skin. She sighed softly to hide the joy she was feeling.
They headed to the backdoor of the house. When they arrived, Leo was expertly lock-picking with one hand while one of his hands was still holding her hand. When it was opened, he peeked first to make sure if there was someone or not.
“Nobody was here. Come on.” he said and walked ahead.
He let go of her hand and took the gun that was on his side. She did the same. She took the gun to her side and walked slowly while the gun she was holding pointed forward. She heard a bang. She looked at Leo who was the perpetrator of that gunshot.
She saw how the man had fallen from the staircase. Suddenly the door opened in front of them and men with guns arrived. But before that could blow them away. They have preceded them. They fired a series of shots. And the four men fell prostrate on the floor in front of them. Leo looked at her.
“Excellent.” he spoke admiringly as he smiled. She was about to respond to his smile when suddenly someone came out of a room. She turned to face him and pointed the gun at him. The man was shot. She looked at Leo with amazement in his eyes.
“Thank you. You’re the reason why I did it.” She said and smiled at him. He also smiled back.
She went up the stairs to the second floor. She turned around and Leo just followed her. She was about to face a door when it suddenly opened and a tall man came out. He is wearing a black shirt and black jeans. Is he mourning?
She looked at him. He was not carrying a weapon. He suddenly raised his right leg to hit her with a kick but she avoided it immediately. He used another leg to hit her but she bent down to avoid his kick. Because he had to lower his foot. That was the opportunity she took to kick him into his manhood.
“Ouch!” he said while holding his hurt manhood. She did not waste time. She used all her strength, she jumped, and prepared her right leg to kick him in the jaw. Because of the strength she made. He sprawled on the floor. She heard a gunshot. She looked where it came from. To Leo, he shot the man who was just entering.
“We need to see Don Ysmael!” she shouted at Leo.
Leo followed her and they searched every room of the house. But they see nothing. They went to the third floor. But still nothing. She’s getting discouraged. Couldn’t Don Ysmael have escaped? When they were at the end of the room. She opened it but no one was there. She sat down on the floor weakly.
She thought they would catch Don Ysmael. But not yet. She misses her mother and Ylona. Leo also sat next to her.
“Maybe he heard that he was going to be arrested.” Leo said.
“But how did he hear that we will be going to arrest him?” she asked.
“People like him don’t stay in one place, especially since he knows he’s being caught. Don’t be sad. We’ll also catch him at the right time. Maybe now isn’t the right time to catch him.” Leo said while staring at her and caressing her back.
She stood up and also Leo. She stared at him. She knows he is tired of protecting her. So, she’s going to ask him now. She’s going to ask him why he’s doing this. Whatever he says, she will accept it. Come what may if she hurts the important thing she knows the answer to her question.
“Why Leo? Why are you doing this? After all, you can leave me because I know I’ll just be a burden to you. We don’t know what will happen. As long as Don Ysmael is alive. I know my life is in danger. ” She said and sighed.
“Rhianna, I’m doing this because I want to protect you. We have the same mission to overthrow Don Ysmael. And because that’s what I want. To protect you and take care of you. I’m happy with what I’m doing Rhianna.” he said. She knew he was telling the truth. But she still wants to hear from him that she didn’t hear. She hopes so. It hurts not to hear the words she was waiting for.
