Chapter 17

"Were going back? How about our luggage? Your things?" Jinah asked me worriedly.

"Are your things and mine important right now? What about your life? I can't lose you, no? Not in my watch." I said sternly.

" Can you please tell me what's going on?" Please, Gi." He pleaded.

" I will only tell you when we are on our plane,okay?" I said to him.

" I will hold on to that. Please no more secrets,it makes me scared." Jinah scooted close to me.

We arrived at the airport almost sundown.

" Sir, what are you doing here?" My steward said.

" We're getting out of here." I said.

When we were on the plane, I went to our pilot. "Sir, could you route us to the nearest country? Anywhere but not close to here,please." I said.

" We could go to Argentina or Brazil or Mexico,sir." He said to me.

" Brazil, it is." Please, let's go.

"Get it sir." He said.

I went back to Jinah. He is in our room curled up. I kissed his shoulders for comfort.

" Please,trust me on this. I will tell you later what is happening, okay?" I said to him.

He nodded and went to sleep.

I went out of the room and sit at the window of the plane. " Drink,sir?" 

Yes, please." I said.

In my thoughts, "Who are these people? Why are they after us? Is my company worth that much?" 

I called my secretary who is now on vacation but I instructed him if I call him it means I need him.

" Hello, how was your vacation?" I asked.

" It's alright,sir. Why are you calling me,sir? Is something wrong?" He said.

" Nothing I can handle." Sec,can you search the history of our company?" 

Before I handle being the CEO? How much have we gained in the last 3 or 4 years,okay? 

"Call me right away." Yes sir." Thank you. As I hung up.

" Sir, we are arriving at the airport in Brazil.

" They email you for your passports." My steward said to me.

" Can you book us a hotel, a cozy one not expensive but the service is good with wifi?" I asked.

"A moment sir." He said.

I went back to Jinah,who is still sleeping.

I woke him up with a kiss. 

" Love, we are arriving soon in Brazil." In a low tone.

" Brazil?" Why there?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes.

" I don't want to be followed,us I mean." 

" I have contacts here that they don't know about so we're safe for now." I said.

" I trust you,Gi." I know you won' t hurt me." Hugging me and I kissed his head.

" This will be over soon,I promised."

We stayed in the hotel where my steward booked us. It's a cozy hotel.

We get our rooms.

We settled for a night there. In the morning, we shop for clothes to wear.

We had breakfast and went back to the hotel.

As Jinah had a nap, I call my contact here in Brazil.

" Hello, is this Romero Chavez?" I asked.

" Yes,who is this?" Wait, I know your voice,you're Gi!" He said laughing.

" I need to see you. Can you come alone and meet me at this hotel?" I said.

" No problem,Gi. I'll call you when I am downstairs,okay?" He said.

" I will be waiting." I said and hung up.

I came down to the lobby and sat on the couch. I wait for Romero.

Then he came.

"Ah, Mr.Gi Min. What a surprise!" It's been ages since we met." Hugging and patting my back.

"Please sit. Please bring us tea or coffee?" He asked me.

" Coffee will do,black please with two blocks of sugar,thank you." I said.

"So, what do you need,Mr.Min?" Romero said.

" Last two days, my house has been burglarized but they didn't take anything." I said.

" I think they bugged my house. They want me to be ousted as the CEO and president of my company, because you know why,Romero." 

"So I plan to take my fiance out of the country but I think we're being followed." I said to him.

"Who is your fiance?" He asked. I take out my phone and give him a picture of Jinah and I.

"My God, Gi..she is beautiful!" It's him,actually." I said as I took the picture of us.

"Oh,sorry, my mistake." He said. "Apology taken".

" Because you are different they want to kick you off, that's absurd!" In an angry tone.

" I need you to look at their faces and names. These are my men but I doubt that they have been bought." I said handling some files.

" Hmm..wait is this Luis?" He asked, pointing at the picture.

" Why doubt him? His loyal?" He said.

" Loyal to my money,not to me." I said chuckling.

" Bastard." When will you need it?" Romero glanced at the photos and names.

" Two weeks." And here's a check for your needs and for your men."

" No! When my mission is through and they have enough leads, then pay me." Romero not taking the check.

" Romero.." You've done enough for my family and friends in this country. Let me repay you." He said, shaking my hands.

My phone suddenly rang. "Gi, where are you?" Jinah said, worried.

" I' m in the lobby. Come down. Meet my friends." I said smiling.

" Ok, wait for me there,I'll just change.

"My fiance wants to meet you,Romero." I said to him.

Jinah came down in sweatpants and tank top. When I saw him,something twitched.He was sexy in any outfit.

"Romero, this is my fiance, Jinah." 

" Romero,pleasure to meet you." he kissed his hand.

"Jinah, nice meeting you." He smiles.

" Mr. Min never mentions that you are more beautiful in person than in pictures." 

" You're too nice,Mr. Romero." Smiling.

"Enough of that, I'll call you,Mr.Min." 

" I'll wait for that." Again, thank you." I said, shaking his hands.

When he walks out of the lobby with his men. I brought Jinah to the cafe.

"Who are they?" Mafia boss? Agents?" He asked me continuously.

" Whoa! Hold your horses,love." I said smiling.

" They are my loyal contacts here in Brazil." I once help his family and friends from mob gangsters here." 

"Why are you have so many contacts all over the world?" Are you some kind of a mafia king? He said, astonished.

"Hmm,no." I'm just a sociable person. They love my charm." Chuckling.

" Anyways, I give them some info about our mole, who are they?" 

" But, Gi..all this gang or mobster thing makes me scared. This must stop,Gi" Jinah said in a bridge of crying.

"Shh..Jinah,love. Please stop. Don't cry. It breaks my heart." I said hugging him.

" These people will help us. They will find these bastards who're behind these,I promise.

" Now, can we eat and walk for a while?" I said to him.

" Okay." He said in a forced smile. 

After we ate, we went to our room to rest.

When Jinah was sleeping. My secretary called me.

" Yes, what did you find?" I said. "Sir, within 3 or 4 years, there are people that your father has some trouble with in the company." He said.

" Your father owes them money but it was only paid in half but the interest remained." 

" He never told anybody even your mother." 

" As time went by, the people were silent until now. They never bother your father for a long time after you are born." He said.

"Now that you are the new CEO of the company and boost its earnings, having more branches all over the world." 

"You are one of the top billionaires in the world. So, they decided again to mess up you and the company." 

"And also they knew that 

 you have someone in your life,things escalate to the next level." 

"They are bold enough to burglarize your home in spite of the tight security you have." 

" The name Luis Santiago popped up in the findings in my search. He used to be your fathers assistant in the company." 

" He went to jail because he faked your father's signature for a certain amount that your father didn't know about." 

"He was sentenced to 4 years in prison and there is no lead if he gets out or dies in old age." 

" Thank you for the information you gave me. This helps a lot. Wait for payment for your assistance." I said to him.

" Thank you,sir but no thank you. I'm honoured that you trusted me." He said.

"Be careful,sir." 

" Again,thank you. I will call Ethan when I get back to the company. See you soon." I said and hung up the phone.
