Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 111: Breaking In

"MOMMY, are you going to leave us again?" Chiara asked as she woke up, catching me getting ready to leave.

It was already six in the morning, and I had things to take care of. I'll miss them as much as they'll miss me, but I hope that one day she'll understand I'm doing this for them.

Thunder was still fast asleep, probably tired after chasing Chiara around last night. Finnick had already left. He only visits occasionally, but I still pay him, even if he doesn't do much. It's my way of securing his loyalty. I don't want to go, but I have to.

I wanted to tell her that, but I knew she wouldn't understand.

"Yes, Chiara," I said instead. "Be good, okay? Don't tease your brother too much."

I needed to head back to the hideout today. Simon was sure to summon me, and I also planned to visit Mom.

I quickly got ready and left the mansion. I always made sure no one followed me whenever I arrived or departed.

Once in the car, I managed to drive even though I felt lightheaded. There wasn't much traffic since it was still early, and the place where I was hiding Chiara and Thunder was more like a province.

I was enjoying the quiet peace inside the vehicle when someone called.

"Hello, Evangeline?" I greeted her, keeping my eyes on the road.

"Do you have some time to spare?" Her tone made me frown. She didn't even greet me back.

I glanced at the clock before focusing on the road again. "I'm a little busy, but I think I can spare some time. Why?"

"I discovered something... and it's unbelievable," she said, her tone amused but with a serious edge. "What I found in Senator Windwood's hideout was out of this world... but it's real." "Congratulations," I said mockingly, remembering what she did during her mission.

She manipulated me into doing my mission at the same time she was raiding Senator Windwood's house. It wouldn't have bothered me if she hadn't involved Ash in her plan. "You're mine until the end."
