Her eyes went wide opened as soon as she read the Headings.
'Protection Agreement?!'
"What is this?"
"Just like what you've read, a protection agreement."
"Why would I need this?" Aubrey rolled her eyes in annoyance, giving him 'Duh, I knew how to read man' look.
"Look, Missy. There's a lot of thing I couldn't tell you now because I did not want you to drag into this matter. But I can promised you this is for your own good."
"Why, can't you just explained to me, and what happened today? Why did that person shot you?" Aubrey asked innocently.
"Wait, what do you mean that person?" Alessio becomes sensitive all of a sudden which took Aubrey by surprised.
"Yeah, I did saw that person who shoot you but I don't think he saw me though as he turned right away." Aubrey added but that did not eased Alessio down.
"God forbid it, Aubrey" Alessio grabs his head frustrated.
"What did I do wrong?" Aubrey retorted clearly not understanding the situation.
"Listen to me carefully, Aubrey. Don't ever utter a word about tonight incidence to anyone, it will cost your life. All I can tell from now on, you are no safe anymore."
"Why? Who are you to control my life, after all this years I ran from my parents care and you dare to take over my life. Damn no, Alessio." Aubrey said coldly, staring straight into his eyes.
"I'll give you time to think this over. However, two bodyguard will follow you from now on. You have one week." Alessio demand strictly.
"Go to hell, Alessio. I don't need it. Plus…" Aubrey retorted, tried her best to convince him to take back his words.
"That's my decisions where to put my people at, and end of discussions." Alessio said, not giving in Aubrey excuses. He pressed a button on his night stand, no longer after that Carlos appeared at the door.
Aubrey looked at him speechless by his determination.
"Remember you have one week time to think about this" Alessio reminds Aubrey for the last time.
"Fine." Aubrey replied in a harsh tone, not satisfying on their discussion.
… … …
Back to her condominium, Aubrey shut the door in front of Carlos face and stomped inside.
"Hey what's wrong girl?" Giana asked.
"I thought you're gonna stayed at Mr Aldo house?" Jacquie added with a teasing intonation.
"Shut up. I'm not in the mood guys."
"Hey what's wrong? Shouldn't we celebrate on the accomplishment?" Giana asked sitting in front of the mini bar.
"We've got a serious problem" Aubrey answered in her serious tone which grabs both Giana and Jacquie attentions.
"Did we blew our cover?" Jacquie questioned Aubrey, sitting beside Giana.
"Here, read this Giana. Find anything you can to bring me out from this mess" Aubrey facing towards them with a glass on her right hand and passing the agreement paper to Giana.
"What the hell, a freaking protection agreement paper, why do you need this?" Giana lift her head to look at Aubrey, questioning her. Well, obviously people like them did not need such contract.
"It's all started at the Clara's party, I was about to take Dr. P down, then Alessio, out of nowhere pulled me away from Dr. P which led Dr. P to fled away. At the same time, Alessio was shoot by some freaking maniac. Dang, that man, if it weren't because of him I wouldn't getting dragged into his matter." Aubrey explained.
Without waiting for their replies…
"In conclusion, that's the result." Aubrey added.
"All I can say, Aubrey you are in a deep shit" Jacquie said.
"That's what I say, I knew I'm in a deep shit, you don't know how hard do I have to pretend I don't know shits in front of him"
"I don't think she's got our point Giana" Jacquie said.
"Wait, maybe you have underestimated him. For your information, Aubrey, he is the Aldo, everyone talking about." Giana replied, throwing a bombastic news to Aubrey.
"You mean the Aldo, Aldo. The real and exact Aldo?!" Aubrey cry out at her last sentence. Then, she realised she did get into real deep shit. For a moment, she could heard thunder in her mind.
"Yes honey, the real Aldo. I was surprised at first after doing some background check on your new professor. Dang women you are so lucky to sleep with the devil itself." Giana added as if it was not enough shocking for Aubrey.
"That's mean it's impossible for me to get out from this shit?!" Aubrey said in frustration.
"Why are you telling me now" Aubrey whine, she knew she's in trouble now.
"She was going too" Jacquie replied.
"When?"
"Tonight, right after you stomped into the living room." Giana said monotonous, showing her a devilish smile. Aubrey rolls her eyes at Giana who basically enjoyed seeing miserable.
"So, what are you going to do about this?" Unlike Giana, Jacquie really feels concerned about Aubrey.
Aubrey quickly recollected back herself, giving a few sighed and replied Jacquie.
"It will be a waste for us to blow our cover now, so I'll have to agree on this so-called protection agreement for now."
Jacquie raised one of his eyebrow at Aubrey's replied, not expected her to say that. In case, you don't know Aubrey, she's not someone who gives out easily.
"How about sued him?"
"For what?"
"Sued him for assaulting. Well, you know he slept with you while you're drunk."
Aubrey waved her head disagreeing her ideas.
"No, no. That's impossible, first, since he's Aldo, he owns the freaking Hotel Trivia." Giana cuts her off by pointing at Jacquie.
"I know Jacquie can do it, but that'll alert the Antonio clan to chase us down. Besides, we also need to report to the headquarters which will certainly brought us unnecessary problem. Next, if this cased is bring forward to the court, it is not safe for us to stay here anymore." Aubrey said seriously.
Another reason, she did not tell them was she was willingly sleeping with Alessio that night.
Jacquie and Giana nodded simultaneously, agreeing on Aubrey's thoughts.
"So, what do you have in mind besides following his term?" Giana asked instead. As an attorney she knew the circumstances behind this agreement.
This time, Aubrey did not answered her questioned instead flashing them an anonymous smile which sends them chill under their spine.
… … …
"Boss, we did not get Dr. P" Dominic reported.
"Who's behind this?" Alessio asked.
"One of the Diego's man. He supposed to meet with Dr. P tonight at the party, to escort him to the safe house."
Alessio smirked after listening to Carlos reports.
"Settled him and send his head back to Diego's" Alessio ordered.
"Dominic have Pablo on the phone and you can leave."
"Yes sir."
"But Boss, according to one of our man, Dr. P has escaped successfully."
"No Carlos, he's in someone else hand"
"I'll dig into it, boss" Carlos typed something on the iPad and left.
"Boss?" Pablo's on the line.
"Do you have the thing I wanted?"
"I am sorry, sir. Not yet, sir."
"I don't need your sorry, I want results, you heard that Pablo. You have one week."
"Yes sir, I won't let you down again. Sir, there's something I need to tell you about Santiago."
"Em?"
"He's with Diego last night"
"I will come back anytime soon next week. I want everything's prepared before I come back" Alessio said and cuts off the line.
'Another traitor, huh. It's time for house cleaning.'
