Chapter 145 - SUDDEN DECISION
If god could give me a one-time power I could use today, I would ask him for the ability to teleport so that I don\'t need to bear the agonizing journey in order to reach Belavia.
Plane would take four hours to reach Belavia and a private chopper would only take three. And aside from the means of transport mentioned, there is no other way to reach my destination.
I don\'t have any other option except to choose the private chopper…. Unless of course I have super powers and I could fly across boundless seas but I know I couldn\'t do that so I have to wait for three hours until I reach Ace.
But it was not the nauseating trip nor the long exasperating hours which brought
tears to my eyes but it was saying goodbye to my daughters, especially to Vien who I just have spent time with for less than a day.
I blinked back the tears and climbed inside Lady Ravenwood\'s private plane. I waved back to everyone before the door closed.
I couldn\'t see them anymore but I was still staring at the door as if it would change a thing.
After letting go a deep sigh, I turned my head towards the window and I sank deeper into the leather seat as the private chopper floated to the air.
Inside the private chopper Lady Ravenwood owned I sat alone. The beautiful view outside the window refused to comfort me and there\'s nothing that could comfort me now except seeing that Ace was safe.
If only I knew this would happen to him and Vince would frame him with Angela\'s death then I would never allow him to leave the country.
But no matter how hard I regret letting him go it was too late for regrets now. It already happened and the best thing to do is give him what he needed the most—comfort.
For now, it was the only thing I could provide. And I think it would be enough to make him feel better.
At last, after three hours spent buried in my thoughts and thinking about the problem over and over again, the plane landed into the rooftop of the twenty-storey building and I was saved before I drowned into my thoughts.
The building was an Investigation firm—Belavia branch—run by Lady Ravenwood\'s niece.
Men in black suits lined up?on both sides greeted me the moment I emerged from the chopper. Then a sophisticated tall woman with bob cut hair approached and introduced herself.
"I\'m Catherine Grace Emir. Lady Ravenwood\'s niece. I am the Officer In Charge of the Investigation Firm. Nice meeting you, Phoenix. My Aunt already informed me why you\'re here."
Catherine Grace flashed me a dazzling smile that reminds me so much of a toothpaste commercial model. She held her hand to me and I reluctantly took it.
Her hand was soft and warm, not the type of hand of a person used to hard labors but her hold against my hand was firm and powerful. Definitely she\'s not the type anyone would mess with.
"Nice meeting you too." I replied, matching the bright smile on her lips.
She was around twenty-four, with reddish blonde hair, exquisite sea green eyes, and a slender figure like those of a runway model. Her complimentary features would make both man and woman look at her twice. If she would apply as a model, she could have surpassed a dozen of them with her natural charisma and charm.
Catherine Grace\'s name rings a bell to me. I wonder if she was the same Catherine I once read in the newspaper who once broke her fiance\'s arm just because her parents forced her to date him. Perhaps she\'s not that person. There\'s so many names like Catherine here in Belavia.
She let my hand go and together we walked inside the elevator.
She\'s not only beautiful but she was elegant in her movement as well, I thought to myself as she pushed the elevator to her office.
"Lucas Nicholas, our top agent and investigator, and also my cousin?wasn\'t here so for the moment I would be your bodyguard wherever you go." She said after the elevator stopped on the tenth floor. When the door opened, we walked the long hallway and entered the door.
This might be her office, I assumed after my eyes landed to the OIC word written on the door. She pushed the door open and gestured to me to come first before she followed behind me.
The room was large and spacious. The appliances and furniture are not sore in the eyes. The atmosphere inside the room is very welcoming. A kind of environment that could make a person relax even at?work.
My eyes surveyed the whole place. The ambience inside her room was very refreshing. There on the top of the table was a Pokémon mug with a Pikachu art. Beside the mug, an open laptop stood. A few sheets of paper were pinned underneath. It seems that Catherine Grace was busy when I arrived.
Catherine pulled a wardrobe open. Black jackets made for various sizes were neatly hung inside.
"Please wear this for your safety." She instructed. I took it and obediently followed her order.
"That\'s a bulletproof jacket. You need to wear that to secure your safety. We don\'t know what\'s going to happen once we leave this building so we should be careful." She explained in detail and nodded my head in agreement.
"Are you ready?" Catherine asked.
"Yes, I am ready." I replied and took a deep, steadying breath.
"Let\'s go to our destination then." She added.
I silently followed her inside the elevator.
Catherine pushed the elevator button to the ground floor where a wide parking area was located. We walked sideways further to the endless park of cars until we reached her car.
She climbed into the driver\'s seat and waited until I was settled inside before she turned the engine on.
Seconds later the car is already on its way to the police station.
