Declaration of War (3)

Francesca looked at the folder in front of her. Inside, was bits of pieces regarding April and Colm's kidnapping as well as what happened to April after that. Though it was hard uncovering them, especially that it happened almost 11 years already. Luckily, money talks if you know who to ask.

The ones who had been caught during that time, were either back to their old jobs as traffickers or was hiding to have a sort of normal life. Luckily, Beverly exactly knows who contact.

Aside from being a secretary to Francesca, she also had connections to one of people from Black Dragon Club. As long as one had the right amount of money and haven't been black listed from the club, they will be able to get any information they want.

But the thing is.. Although is sounded easy, it really wasn't. It took Francesca 5 years to become one of its client. It was one of the things that she focused on, as she tried to built her company. So that she will have access to information that could subdue her enemies. Of course it took quite a lot of money from her, but no pain no gains. Right? So locating this people and letting them spill out the beans, was an easy way task for the Black Dragon Club.

As Francesca opened the folder, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahah. Oh Alex. You clearly had a gem in your hands and yet you disposed of it. Just so you could pick up this trash? I wonder, how you will react once you see this pictures and how they "made love" with that so called lover's of yours. Hahaha." Francesca laughed softly. Nothing like how she laughed crazily, weeks ago.

"Since you threaten me by bringing me down. Let's see how you will be able to protect her, when everyone disdain and judge her?" Francesca said mockingly as she picked up her wine and took a sip on it.

All this while, she had been staying at the same mansion. Where she and Alex made love countlessly. She wasn't in a hurry to move out, unlike her husband. She knew that it was only a matter of time, when Alex would come begging for her to come back. Francesca's lips curled up at the thought.

"Beverly, send this pictures to that crazy woma. Also see to it that she get's it herself and that Alex wouldn't be able to know about it." Francesca giggled as she pass the folder back to her secretary.

"Yes Madame." Beverly took the folders and left. She already had an idea on how to execute this plan.

Francesca giggled again. She really find it funny. Was her husband really that stupid to begin with?

No wonder they could never get along, she thought. But still, she wasn't willing to just give up on her husband. Either one lives or both of them will sink to the ground.

"If its a divorce you want, you will have to win the war first." Francesca giggled again, left with her own evil thoughts.

At the same time, only minutes away from the mansion. Alex and April arrived at a luxurious hotel in London. It was name as Wilshire Hotel, with 5 stars in rating. Usually wealthy families, celebrities and politicians stays in this Hotel. It was well known of its modernized structures, well trained staffs, luxurious rooms and magnificent facilities. It was no wonder, why it was a popular hotel in London.

As Alex parked in front of the Hotel, the Valet bowed as he came to take Alex's keys and to park it. Alex gave the keys to the Valet and went to the passenger side to open the door. The Valet knew exactly who Alex was, so he thought that the passenger must've been Francesca. To his surprise, it was a different woman.

Alex gave his hand out, April took it and got out of the car. He then placed her hand in his arms, as he guided her inside the Hotel. All the staff was shocked at the public display. Thought the Manager was shocked too, he instantly came forward to Alex. Alex didn't stop walking, April could only pursed her lips together.

"The candle dinner awaits in the Penthouse sir. If you need anything else, please let us know." The Manager bowed and walked to the Elevator to press the button.

Alex didn't reply and only smiled to April. He then let go of her hand and held her waist. Just in time for the Elevator to come and open. Alex lead April in and looked at the Hotel Manager. He only nodded as the Elevators closed.

The Manager took a deep breath, he then called for the security. Making sure that no one took a picture of his boss and the woman beside him. He also went ahead to make sure that the staff would keep their mouth shut. Nothing should come out of this to the public. It was definitely the first time that they all had seen Alex with different woman.
