A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

Roger showed sadness in his eyes when he said, “Jimmy was an excellent policeman, and we had great expectations for him. It is so sad that he died in action. What is more outrageous is that it wasn’t simple revenge. We have conducted a thorough investigation, and we found a suspect not far from the scene of the accident.”

He took a picture from his pocket and gave it to her.

Kate took it. It was a picture taken from a traffic surveillance system. After being enlarged, it was vague. A man was sitting in a car, wearing a baseball cap that covered most of his face except his mouth and chin. However, Kate recognized him at once. It was the taciturn Sam.

She shivered and raised her head. The man nodded at her solemnly.

“In our analysis, this was a well-planned assassination. The hotel boss, under the order of this man, probably made the call to the alarm center. The timing was perfect. When Jimmy and Claire arrived, the suspect came out of the hotel. They followed naturally and fell into the trap they set…”

Kate didn’t react, but her blood was turning cold.

Roger continued gloomily, “Eight years ago, there was a murder in this city. A rich businessman was killed in his own house, and his body was thrown into the swimming pool. There was a gunshot in his temple…

“That was a sticky case. We didn’t have any clues. Our colleague who was in charge of the case deduced the gun-type through the marks on the bullet casing. He spent a few years tracing the sources of guns and finally came to the record of LA customs. It was found accidentally that someone was smuggling luxury cars and other items with high tariffs. And that company smuggled this batch of guns in. However, our colleague was murdered as soon as he found the evidence.”

Kate was terrified at the story. Then Roger sighed and said, “This colleague was Jack Pardey. He is my old friend and Jimmy’s Uncle Jack.”

“Five years later, Jimmy found this evidence. And it is said that he got some new clues. But unfortunately, he suffered the same fate as his Uncle Jack.”

Roger looked at Kate sincerely, “You are a friend of Jimmy. I hope you can help us. They cannot die for nothing.”

Kate didn’t remember how the conversation ended. When she walked back through the woods of cedar trees, she met Claire again. Claire’s eyes were reddish. She said to Kate, “He mentioned a few names before he died, yours was among them.”

Kate staggered a little, and Claire caught her, “Are you okay?”

Kate shook her head, and tears came to her eyes.

Claire softened her face and said, “I don’t know you very well, but Jimmy said you are a person with integrity. They are too strong, too powerful. And they have big heads covering them. We have to reach out to you for help.”

Appearing detached from sadness, Kate went back to the villa, showing nothing unusual. Of course, in her heart, there were roaring waves and storms. The waves pushed by raging winds crashed on the beach and made great sounds that only she could hear.

Daisy went to an interview that morning and came back in a cheerful mood. She heard that Kate had had an ultrasound exam, so she had come over to see her sister and the picture of the baby.

Kate gave Daisy her purse absent-mindedly. She opened it and exclaimed, “How amazing! The original shape of human life looks like a bean.”

“This kid will turn out to be great. The first time I heard about Mr. Fox from Max, I thought he was a middle-aged man with a large belly and a baldhead. I was so surprised when he stepped into the room. He looks like a movie star…”

Daisy laughed and continued, “He is nice to you. Kate, the two hundred thousand dollars you gave Father for surgery was given by him, wasn’t it?”

Kate was depressed, and she was even more upset when she heard this. She said, “Don’t tell Mom and Dad about me.”

“You cannot lie to them forever.”

Kate was sad and said, “Just keep this from them for the time being.”

Daisy put down the picture of the baby and urged her, “Kate, don’t be too old-fashioned. There are a lot of people like you in this world. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Kate looked at her sister with a surprise, “You don’t think it is serious.”

Daisy shrugged her shoulders, “What else can you do? You have a baby with him. He doesn’t have a wife. It is not even an extramarital affair. What are you scared of?”

She rolled her eyes and then asked, “Sister, you didn’t intend to give up this child, did you?”

Kate didn’t say anything, being seen through by her sister.

Daisy said, “It is bad for the body if a woman aborts her first child.”

Kate smiled bitterly. It was not her consideration if it hurt her body or was hot.

Daisy kept silent for a while and then said, “You don’t want the baby because you have someone else you love?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Kate still didn’t reply. Her heart was aching.

“Then you’d better make up your mind.”

Daisy pointed to the bean in the picture, “It is so small now. It probably cannot be counted as a child yet. And it won’t hurt.”

Kate recalled the doctor said the embryo had the initial shape of a human and the limbs had formed.

It had a human shape now. And a heartbeat.
