Chapter 61

"She didn't put the bug, someone else did probably Gonzales. She is unaware of the bug," Matteo spoke out for all to hear and to sort out the issue. He and Stephan had already been informed about the bug earlier and they knew Anna wasn't that sensible to do that but if it was Shannon who had decided on the location. They knew she could do it without a blink of an eye.

"Oh," Sarah muttered.

"Oh, is that all you are going to say when you just slapped," Anna yelled.

"Please just shut up okay," Sarah replied back rolling her eyes. 

 "Who the hell do you think you are to be speaking to me in that manner?" Anna asked. Why did Matteo even bring her here? When clearly she was of no use to them, it annoyed her so much and now this slap.

She gritted her teeth, still rubbing her hand on her cheek that was already burning red.

She tried to get to Matteo's side but the more she tried the more the guard held her in place, she knew she wouldn't be able to overpower him but the annoyance that was boiling within her did not allow her to sit down back.

"Let me go," She yelled at the guard as he obeyed not her but Stephan who had waved his hand, they watched Anna storm out of the balcony angrily as Shannon took the last sip on her drink and followed suit. She wasn't planning on sitting in their midst and getting a silent treatment or worst insulted by Sarah. 

That was definitely something she wasn't going to take even if the guard tried to pin her back.

"I don't like them," Sarah confessed when Shannon left them alone.

.....................................................

"Do you think he is going to show up?" Travis asked. It had been one hour since Sarah had slapped Anna, She had eventually left them alone taking the device with her. He dragged on the cigar in his hand and blew the puff slowly to the side.

They had ordered for their cigar immediately Sarah left.

"Either him or his enemies," Stephan replied taking a drag at his own cigar.

"How is Olivia?" Matteo asked but it was more of a how was Travis coping situation. They had thought deeply about everything and figured it was best they were all in the same roof. It was a dangerous move because one could just come and pack all of them in here and rip their head from their body. 

"She is going through a drastic phase, just keep Dawn away from her now," Travis advised.

"I could always blow her head off," Stephan said but it came out as a warning. It was something he would have done a long time ago but he had decided to play a blind eyes for Dawn's sake as she seemed worried about Olivia even though she barely talked about her.

.................................................................

In the other part of town news had spread to a man that one of his old fling had brought her family into his house that he had gifted her. He was unbothered by the news until he heard Stephan Klar and his brother was part of them. He wondered what a Klar would be looking for around here far away from home.

He asked his security team to check on the security footage but they couldn't find anything in all of the cams as they were all black and the mics seemed broken and even the one good one was quiet which they figured was the one in the office. Not like anyone would go to the office or something.

"We will be paying my love a little visit," Gonzales voice came out in the shadows.

............................................................

"They are here boss."

"Let them in," Stephan ordered. They took quite some while to figure them out, it seemed Gonzales didn't care about Anna that much to be bothered by who she had over in his house.

The security guard bowed his head and left them alone, Stephan was the first to rise to his feet alongside Matteo and Travis. They all brought out their guns from the hidden locations and checked if it was loaded, Stephan brought his from the back of his pant alongside Matteo while Travis brought his from the front. When they were all satisfied with the outcome they took one finally drag and strode into the lion's den.

When they got to the living room they had expected to meet the lion but he had sent his minion instead and Stephan wasn't surprised, it was part of the reason why the bastard had not yet died despite his numerous crimes. He was an easy man to find yet a hard man to kill, even the story that bonded him to Dawn wasn't solid enough but what did his enemies care about that, anything that involved Gonzales or belonged to him shouldn't be walking freely in the street.

"Gustavo," one of his little minions announced his name, he had a root like tattoo on his neck that Stephan was sure connected down to his body as his hand also had the tattoo.

Stephan, Travis and Matteo didn't bother to introduce themselves because they were sure that they knew them well enough, who didn't know the Klar family. They were only three but Stephan knew they were more than that and were just lurking around waiting to tears all of them heads from their body even the little smile Gustavo had on his face didn't sit well with Stephan's stomach but he reciprocated the gesture by offering him a seat.

Gustavo took his seat while the other two stood beside him, Stephan figured they were his side piece but he couldn't trust them. Their main boss might be among the ones standing and he knew how he was going to fish him out if the time for it was needed.

Stephan, Matteo and Travis who also took their seat but not on one seaters each opposite them. Gustavo opened a laptop that he was holding and placed it on the table with the monitor facing him, he pressed in some things and then twirled the laptop monitor to face Stephan as an image of a man appeared.

Sykpe.

"I would be lying if i say i am not confused by the reason why you are here, you have not only infiltrated my security team, you have also successfully removed all my cameras and mics," the middle aged man announced. He was seated in what seemed like his office as he leaned in on his seat and took a drag from his cigar. He chuckled after finishing his statement like he had thought of something really funny.

"I think you know why we are here but you do not believe it and because you don't believe it you have decided to deem it irrelevant," Stephan replied also leaning into his chair and crossing his legs this time.

"You have seen through me, i must admit," Gonzales admitted leaning forward this time. "So tell me Stephan," he took his name like they were familiar with each other and it didn't go unnoticed by Travis and Matteo who weren't surprised. "What do you want from me?"

"I should be asking you that Gonzales," Stephan threw back his name to him, he could notice Gonzales also had that root like tattoo on his neck, was it like their group symbol or something?

"Ah," Gonzales smiled leaning back intrigued by the way Stephan was able to speak to him freely without batting an eye, he knew it was going to be hard to crack Stephan that was if he was even going to ever crack as he was a man that was hard to read. It was what Gonzales found interesting about him.

Normally he would have had them taken against their will but when he had heard something about his daughter and he wondered what that would have to do to Stephan.

"I have something of yours here," Stephan said. "Dawn," he yelled placing his hand behind him for her to come and hold it. 

Dawn had been taken aback by the call that she nearly stumbled outside, she didn't expect Stephan to know that she was lurking around and listening to them.

Stephan had sensed her smell when he had walked into the living room and he knew she was watching them, he had wanted to call his men to get her but since she was here he didn't bother with that. Instead he pretended not to be aware of anything.

Dawn walked in slowly and took Stephan's hand which he had placed behind him, he touched her hand and placed it on his shoulder tapping on it slowly.

"Who is this?" Gonzales asked but Stephan didn't miss the astonished look his eyes had given off before he was able to compose himself. It was like he had seen something he wasn't supposed to see.

"You are not a very good actor," Stephan informed him. "It seems your daughter is a twin."
