Aisha decided to tell Ethan the truth about her ident.i.ty sooner or later. But first she needs to secure their safety. It would be after the annual symposium for the company. Maybe she still has time to fix everything as well as meet her twin sister. She decided to forget her feelings toward Ethan for her sister"s sake. She will just set things in motion before she leaves the City for good. She"s done thinking. She"s done planning. She"s done crying and sympathizing with her fate. This time, she"ll make everything right. She then decided to accept her fate as the mafia heiress in the North. Yes, that was her fate all along.She drops by at Hunter"s pet shop first. She needs to see the list of the investors and the board members as well. She needs to cla.s.sify the group of people who joined the Hertiz" revolution and those who remained faithful to the company. She noted everything.
Mr. Katana from j.a.pan, Mr. Schreninger of London and Mr. Salemander of Russia were the people with the highest investments in the company. If they cast their votes against Ethan, then Ethan will surely be done. Aisha needs to see these people. she also needs to convince those board members. Thanks to Hunter, he did a thorough background check about these big people. Ah, these information is more than enough for Aisha to start her plan.
Before leaving hunter"s shop, she called Lisa to set an appointment to Mr. Katana, Mr. Schreninger and Mr. Salemander in different dates. If she needs to fly a plane to talk to them, then she can just travel using Stacy"s ident.i.ty. She needs to move faster because she has a lot of things to do before the annual symposium.
"Good evening!" She greets Ethan and Eli sitting at the dining table with a smile. Eli hugs her but Ethan just stare at her expressionlessly. She smiled at him.
"So what"s the plan on Eli"s birthday?"" She asks Ethan.
"Let"s just do the same thing as last year. Why don"t you design it G-I-N?" Ethan requested. Aisha panics since she didn"t know what happened last year.
"W-why don"t we change it instead?" Aisha suggested. Ethan looked at her indifferently.
"Eli sweetheart, what do you want to do on your birthday?"" Aisha s.h.i.+fts her attention to Eli. Eli was thinking.
"Uhm… I want to go to Disneyland!" Eli exclaims excitedly.
"Why don"t we do that instead? Right Ethan?" she asks.
"Ehm… Okay, it"s up to you." Then he munches his food. Aisha looks at her in confusion.
She was thinking what"s with Ethan"s change in att.i.tude towards her? did she do anything wrong? She shrugs her thoughts. Anyway it"s okay! she doesn"t want to a.s.sociate herself with him anymore.
*** Aisha is already asleep when Ethan entered their room. He cannot sleep due to his active mind at the moment. He went to his study room after their dinner. He reminisced all the things that the bounty hunter told him this morning.
"Don"t you know that she is a Mafia heiress?" The hunter told him. Ethan demanded more information from him.
"Some people placed large bounties for her head. She actually has the highest. We didn"t know who she was at first but we learnt that she is a mafia heiress, next in line to Demetrius. As you know, bounty hunters do not care who the target is, we care about the money! It"s our profession." The hunter explained.
"Who is trying to kill her?" Ethan is trying to calm his nerves.
"I-I don"t know. We are not in the position to know who the clients are."
Ethan"s anger is about to explode so he left the cell before he kills the hunter. He went outside to breath some fresh air.
"Just what exactly is happening?" he was in deep thought. Ethan knew that the Stacy who is with her is a brand new one. But he never thought that she is a more complicated one.
***Ethan once again look at the sleeping woman beside her then he picks up his phone then he steps out in the terrace. He dialed Shawn"s number.
"Release the hunters but never lose your eyes on them. They will definitely contact their clients soon." He ordered him.
"Yes Sir, I will update you as soon as we have a lead." Then he hung up. After their conversation, Ethan called his private investigator as well.
"Yes Sir?"" The guy on the other line answered.
"I need you to research on some things. I will send the details after this call." Ethan instructed before he hung up.
