I felt a little relieved after both of them left me alone, as the door wasn’t closed completely so I could make out what they were talking about.

“Brother Mu, that guy was telling the truth, look at the screen. I already confirmed from the database provided by the local officers that this guy is an innocent person who never harmed anyone!” I can hear the short man explaining to them about my identity which they found by the local police department when I heard that these guys also had connections with the police and that they even provided their database for these guys’ personal use.

.....

I felt genuinely afraid and slight regret for taking this job, but when I thought about why I even took this job, I felt helpless.

“What was your name again, Mr...Mr. Varnell Wellens!” Again two men came inside the room where they kept me tied to the chair and one of them, who is called brother Mu by the other person, looked at me while comparing my face with Id. He read out my name from the Id which they had taken from the same bag with my camera on it.

“Y...yes! Please, I don’t mean any harm to that person and I am willing to tell you who asked me to spy on that person!” I stuttered a little bit with a pleading expression. Even an idiot would be able to understand that the person I have been investigating is not ordinary. So I hope after telling them who asked me to do this job, they would let me go.

“Okay, don’t be afraid, we are not some thugs who will be unreasonable so once you tell us who is the one that ordered you to do this, we will let you go!” Brother Mu’s words made me feel a lot better but I can’t ignore the possibility that they would go back on their words. I don’t have any options here but to tell them everything.

Looking at their vibes, I can tell that they had no problem silencing me so I feared for the worse.

I told them that I was contacted by a middle-aged man, and I described how he looked as I don’t know his name or who he works for so I also mentioned a unique mark on his left wrist which I accidentally saw.

“So that’s all you know about the person who contacted you!” Brother Mu asked me so I nodded my head furiously.

After that they asked some more questions and let me go, only after taking a cab did I sigh with relief.

A few minutes later I reached my apartment. Even though it’s small, it’s the only place I can rent with the meagre amount of money that I make with my profession.

“Welcome home, Father! Cough...cough...cough!!” Just as I opened the door, a ten-year-old girl, who is also my precious baby, welcomed me with a smile but then she started to cough and her complexion became bad all of sudden.

“Betty, dear! Why are you not resting on your bed!” I called out to my daughter with worry in my eyes and hurriedly grabbed her delicate body in my embrace and carried her to her bed then tucked her inside a warm quilt.

My daughter Betty Wellens, has a weak body, from birth she was like that. Not long ago, I got the bad news after the monthly checkup that she had developed a rare disease, and if not cured quickly then it might take her life.

I lost my love, my wife a few years after the birth of my daughter so I had endured the sadness of losing a loved one while bringing up a child single-handedly.

It was very hard at first but it became a joy to me, taking care of one and only proof of my love for my late wife, in the form of a lovely daughter.

I was desperate for money when I got notified that my daughter has a serious illness so when a dubious person approached me with a deal that could solve my immediate problem. I accepted it without much thought but now that I think about it, it was very stupid of me to accept such a shady deal.

Fortunately, I got caught by some reasonable type of people, and just thinking about the worst that could happen to me, made my back shiver from fear. Not for my life but for my daughter, if I am gone then who will take care of her?

“Father, I am feeling cold!” Betty’s voice made me aware that it was not the time to dwell on what happened but now I have to think of something else otherwise I might lose my precious daughter.

“Go to sleep dear! When it’s time for dinner I wake you up, okay..!” I held her cold frail hand and whispered while giving her a peck on her forehead.

“Mmmn!” Betty just hummed in response and closed her eyes, in just a few minutes she fell asleep.

“You don’t have to suffer like this my precious daughter, and I will make sure to get you cured!” I said with a determined voice and looked at the new logo with the name, Camilo Pharma Co.

(Pov End)

.....

On the other hand, after getting the unclear lead. Brother Mu asked his direct superior for permission to search for the culprit who dared to scheme against their big boss!

Only the core members know that Erick is the big boss behind the cold and domineering CEO, Aashi Dahl’, but even then everyone calls her Madam Aashi.

“Brother Mu, what did the superior say!” Asked a lean athlete type of man.

“He already identified the culprit but to make sure that the information we got is right, we need to go directly into their turf and ask the person in question!” Brother Mu said while closing up the suitcase with weapons.

“But why are you carrying so much ammo in the suitcase!” He asked while wondering.

“Well, if they don’t comply with peaceful means then we are allowed to go wild in there and use whatever means necessary to get the results!” Brother Mu replied with a cold, grinning expression, making the person who asked also grin in return.

“Hahahaha! Looks like there is going to be another noisy night!” The lean man laughed and imagined what kind of mess the person who offended their boss would get himself into today.
