Harvey also put a tracker on that person's body. He watched as the body that they dumped started moving. They were also checking out for any news but then, the organization where the man belongs was the one who cleaned it up. He was surprised that they cleaned up well.
"So, what's up?" MJ asked as she hugged his neck.
"Everything is fine. I think they were after Connor. I don't have a definite idea." He reached his wife's hand and pressed his lips to her palm. "Don't worry, baby. Why won't you take care of our wedding and I'll take care of security matters?"
"Sure."
"It's Sunday, you should at least relax a bit, babe." MJ kissed his cheeks. "I'll bring you snacks. What would you like?"
"I will eat anything you serve even if it's poison."
She laughed and squeezed his cheeks.
"I would never feed you poison unless it's necessary." She joked back and kissed his temple. "I'll prepare it and," She rubbed his chest. "Probably seduce you in a bit."
He watched as his soon-to-be wife left the room. He exhaled and stared at the dot and it was destroyed. They probably cremated the body right now. He turned off his computer as Ian's number popped out. It's already afternoon and he guessed that he would arrive anytime. In a few minutes, MJ came with his snacks.
"By the way, your Uncle is here."
"Hmm, let him in then."
"Your Uncle won't go upstairs right now, Harvey. He's too lazy."
"That lazy ass!" He grumbled and started eating the food that MJ brought. He was so hungry from the start. After finishing it, he went downstairs with his fiancee who was now holding the tray. In the family room, Ian was lying on the sofa while pillowing over Johanna's lap and she's massaging his head like a stress ball.
"I thought you were going to meet me upstairs?" Harvey asked him.
"You dumb ass! I am older than you and how dare you try to send me to your room? Am I your servant?"
"No." Harvey scratched his head. "I was busy."
"Uhuh, busy eating." Ian nodded his head. "Look at my niece. She's much more capable than you. We should hire her as the Captain instead."
"Oh, shut up." Harvey crossed his arms. "We need to talk somewhere private."
"Where's my other niece?" Ian asked and he snapped his fingers to Harvey. "Get me vodka first."
Somehow, Harvey turned around to get him vodka. He was used to his Uncle commanding him even though he's the Captain of the Squad but he realized that it's not time for vodka. He turned back to his Uncle and crossed his arms.
"Uncle! I have to talk with you now." He scolded him.
"My girl is waiting in her mother's house. I have to go to her~~"
"Then, let's talk now."
Ian lazily sat up and hugged Johanna like a baby girl. Then, he followed him to somewhere else where Alessandro and Connor are.
"So, what's up?" He greeted the two warmly.
"I have already started with my investigation," Connor said. "It came before I arrived here. I don't think he followed me."
"So, maybe he was following me?" Harvey asked. "I came out and~~" He groaned. "Fuck. They knew!"
"We will just wait for their movement," Ian said. "I don't think that they knew about your identity yet. If they knew about it, the whole Charles Empire would go after you." He crossed his arms. "Check the recent security if there are more shadows.
Connor sat down as he hacked the satellite to check the recent recordings. It was odd that they were eying the villa. It only means that they didn't know that Harvey existed. This time, they can't have a reunion again.
"Those motherfuckers." Connor grumbled. "How about the wedding now?"
"I don't know." Harvey shrugged. "Should we do it underwater?"

It was already ten in the morning when Maxine woke up. She never expects to be ready to eat breakfast and in bed. Her abdominal hurt and so is her face. Terrence was always careful of her and he already sent her a medical letter regarding the restaurant. She smiled at him and received a kiss on her lips. She didn't push him but held his hand. She's not afraid of Terrence. She admired him.
"I make an omelet. Eat."
"It looks delicious." She smiled at him.
After her breakfast, she walked around the mansion and met Violet. The beautiful pregnant lady. She was surprised that the lady still looks sexy even when she's pregnant and she somehow gets jealous that Terrence has this affection for her. But then she realized that it was a brotherly affection even towards Leon, the funny guy. She also didn't expect that such beauty was also kind toward her. Then, they have a late lunch. Then, she fell asleep because of painkillers, and before she knew it it's already sunset.
"Does your body still ache?" Terrence asked.
"Yes," She reached his shirt and tugged it closer to her. "Terrence, can you stay with me tonight? You didn't sleep beside me. I was scared."
"If that's what you want." He patted her head. "By the way, about your brother. He's currently in the hospital because he's been beaten up by the gang."
"Wh-what?"
"Don't worry. I already handle the expenses. They won't come after you anymore."
Maxine bit her tongue. She doesn't want to ask what he did. But he might take brutal action to clear them out.
"Hey, don't worry. From now on, I'll protect you."
This is one thing that she didn't expect in her life. But she's happy that there's something that will protect her. Her brother should protect her but instead, her brother sold her off to pay his debts. She lay down as he hugged her from behind. They've been together for days and he never takes advantage of her. He told her that she should ask for whatever she wanted and he won't touch her unless she told him so.
"What if you find someone else?" Maxine asked him.
"Hmm?" He titled his head. "What do you mean?"
"I mean~~someone else better than me. I'm just a waitress, Terrence. You can't possibly fall in love with me in that status."
"Don't be absurd." He kissed her temple. "Do you want to go on with this relationship?"
She nodded her head and turned to him. She carefully caressed his scar. With or without a scar, he's still so handsome. He reached her hand over his right cheek and kissed her palm.
"Bull!" The door burst open that made Maxine startled. Leon sighed. "I'm so sorry! I am used to opening the door like this."
"What?" Bull sat up as Leon started making a crazy sign which Maxine didn't understand. But it only means by the normal words of 'we need to clean up dead bodies. "I'll be there in five minutes."
Leon looked at Maxine apologetically.
"I have to leave. But I'll be back soon. Violet will stay here with you so you are safe." He patted her head.
"Wait," She reached his face and kissed his lips. It's only a smooch. He was surprised but then, he scooped her face and kissed her passionately. They rolled early but it's best to save it later.
Maxine watched him change his clothes and took out a heavy briefcase. She then followed him downstairs and watched hopped in the car.
"Be safe boys." Violet waved at them. "Bring us some tasty dessert."
"Will do." Leon waved at them. They watched as the car left.
"So, let's go make dinner?" Violet asked Maxine.
"Hmm," Maxine nodded. "What would you like to eat?"
"Nothing special. Let's see what's on the fridge."
The girls went to the fridge and rummaged on it.
"You decide," Violet said. "There are a lot of foods here."
Maxine opened the cabinet.
"How about creamy chicken pasta?"
"Hmm, sounds famishing." She nodded.
"We can add ham if you like."
"Sure, more cheese to it."
The girls made their dinner and there's a lot of things that Maxine wanted to ask Violet but she didn't want to spoil the moment. She then mixed the cooked pasta with the sauce and added more cheese to it. Currently, Violet was preparing fruit salad and fried chicken. With the air fryer, it's easy to fry the chicken without using any oil. She already set up the table and had prepared more of it.
"I already put aside the other sauce," Maxine said and she served two plates of the pasta. She took out drinks and poured on two goblets. She sat down across Violet and they started eating.
"It's delicious," Violet said.
"Thank you," She smiled.
"So, you are dating my brother," Violet said.
"Y-yes."
"I don't mind whoever he dates, but if you betray him. I won't think twice about doing the deed."
"It~It's not like that…" She stammered. Violet smiled at her.
"Hey, darling. I am just worried that my brother Terrence will get hurt."
"I won't do anything to hurt him. I promise." Maxine said, full of sincerity.
"Sure." Violet pursed her lips. "Also, I know that he hasn't told you yet. But you have to resign from your work and we have already set up a new restaurant for you to work on. You only have to do a good job and they pay well and give you benefits."
"Wh~what?"
"The people that are after you know where you are working. It's not safe for you there."
"Th~Thank you…" She mumbled. Violet is scary and she understands that with their work, they need a lot of confidentiality. "I promise. I won't do anything to harm you all."
