Domineering CEO: Girl, A Night With You Is Enough To Bribe Me
Chapter 4
|| IRIS's POV ||
Frowning hard, my eyes swept over the unfamiliar black uniforms. The group definitely looked dangerous but they didn’t intimidate me as I was too tired and mentally exhausted. I sighed in exasperation.
“No more today! Please!” I complained to myself.
Where did they all come from anyway? My right hand slowly travelled up to my waistline to pull out my favorite weapon. They were instantly alarmed by my movement.
“Put your down hand little girl. Don't be stupid and follow us quietly.” The leader commanded.
Having a military grade rifle pointed at my head, I decided to lower my hand. I shrugged my shoulders before instinctively bringing my hands together behind my head. At the leader’s command, one of the individuals tied my hands together behind my back before covering my face with a black sheet. They quickly dragged me out of the cemetery, not caring if I tripped on the surrounding tombstones. I felt asphalt under my feet right before they tossed me into a car. Driving at a high speed, despite the heavy rain, I heard a lady’s voice beside me as she called her boss.
“We finally got her and we are the way.” She reported.
“Who was she talking about?” I wondered. “I just arrived in the city a few days ago.”
I hoped it had nothing to do with him.

|| XAVIER'S POV ||
" Surprise, Xavier! Happy Birthday bud!"
Daniel threw his arms cozily. I almost jerked him away since I had no interest in this stupid party. It was my father's plan from the beginning. He called me to remind me that I should celebrate this party with my members. He called it a business, public stunt. In his eyes, it was important to represent a party like a family to the eyes of the public. To be honest, I would have loved to celebrate it possibly if he suggested that I celebrate it as his son, not as the president of USK state.
Other members stood up gradually, wishing happy birthday one after another. I had to wear a fake smile to follow his order. Daniel brought me champagne and muttered to my ears with a grin,
" You look like dead meat. Missing your hot secretary?"
I rolled my eyes at him. The image of that self-stubborn girl lingered in my mind. She was pretty hot today. My wild imagination got interrupted by a phone call. It was from the Mayor of Blueborn City. It seemed odd to get a call from him at this late hour.
As soon as I picked up his phone, a cry broke through the speaker. Mr.Brown who was at my father's age was pleading miserably,
" Xavier! They got...they got my daughter...They want revenge! Please save her..Save her..."
A month ago, we seized a truck of illegal drugs near the border. The information was revealed by an insider. However, I didn't expect the outcome too fast. Kidnapping the Mayor's daughter was too lame for me. I clenched my jaw tight, asking in a growling voice,
" What happened? Tell me everything!"
Mr.Brown told me that he got an anonymous call from an unknown number. The dialer told him that it was his price to assist me. Then his eighteen years old daughter went missing from her grandpa's house. Although he didn't know the man, I didn't even need to investigate who it was.
Rubbing my sore forehead, I assured him, ending the phone call,
" Don't worry, Mr. Mayor. Your daughter will be safe. Just give me some time."
Suddenly a text message appeared on my phone. It was written in sarcasm, using a funny emoji,
" Like my gift?"
My lips twisted in rage. Involving girls into our own personal issues were never for me. I felt sorry for the girl who had to go through this shit at this very young age for her father's loyalty to me. Without answering his reply, I made another call to my best hitman, Michale. Although he was under me, I rarely contacted him. Not everything could be solved through guns and shots.
" Boss!", he spoke in a lazy tone, just had woken up from his sleep possibly. I took a sip from my freshly served wine, ordering after letting out an exhale,
" Head for the south and blow their entire materials out. I want to see the truck burn. Also rescue Mr.Mayor's daughter. That man had made a big move this time."
Michael was silent for a while. He blurted letting out a whine,
" Don't worry! I worked for him for 3 years. I know how to handle the piece of his shit."
I hummed before putting down the phone. I had trust in Michael. He was a man who couldn't be controlled by Money or power. It was a miracle that his father was my teacher back in my childhood. As a family man, he felt devoted to me. It was also surprising that he left that life to be my undercover man. He wanted to live in this city.
Half an hour later, Michael called me again, his tone still sounding lazy. While puffing his smoke out, he explained the whole thing with a yawn,
" Boss, it's done! His 1 billion dollar assets are ashes now. By the way, the girl is saved but harmed a little."
I clenched my jaw in anger. It was never tolerable for me that an innocent one was hurt because of our chaos. After a few more chats with Michael, I ended the call with a happy smile. As soon as I hung up, an unfamiliar number called me again. I picked it up to hear his deeply hated voice,
" Well played, Xavier! Aren't you afraid that I will expose your secret to the whole world? Huh? Do your people know how many people you killed to secure your position?"
