Karin is pissed off by his remorseless word and questions, âDonât you know where he is? You ignored my beg as if youâve disposed of him secretly.â
âDispose of him secretly?â
Troy arches his brow as incredulity spreads across his face. âHow could you regard me in that way? Iâll keep my promise to save him even if heâs the murderer who wanted to kill me.â
âSo, what are you doing here? Why not go and save him?â
âBecause my promise is to let go of him for once instead of his whole lifetime.â
He rises to his feet and steps toward the French windows, his hands in his suit pants pockets. âBesides, our wedding ceremony is around the corner, and I donât want any distractions now.â
âIf Jacob is still missing, I wonât marry you!â
âYou...â
Karin is very annoyed. âYou know I treat him as my brother, but you donât care about him at all. Fine. Iâll turn to the police.â
âNonsense!â
Troy bellows coldly and angrily grabs her shoulders. âFine. Iâll help you search for him. For the record, I just find the trace of him.â
Karin nods. âOkay.â
At the moment, she just wants to know if Jacob is safe.
Waiting in upset and worry, she finally gets Troyâs call. He tells her Jacob now works for his former boss to take charge of the casinoâs security.
She canât believe what Troy says.
Rushing all the way to Troyâs office, she asks, âHow do you get it?â
âNone of your business. I can promise you what I say is truth.â
âBullshit! Jacob once promised me that heâd never work for the mafia. He wants to come clean and live a decent life.â
âWhich fools idiots like you.â
Troy levels her with an angry look.
âNo, he really meant it. I can tell he didnât lie. He must have been forced back to the hard life.
Karin frowns and drops herself down to the ground near Troyâs desk. Looking at her reaction, Troy knows her thoughts. âDonât you ever imagine that Iâd investigate the whole thing as I said I only found his trace for you.â
âTroy, please. You canât walk away like this.â
âHe must have put a spell on you since you canât see the truth clearly. How much do you know him? Canât you see heâs a liar? Heâs accustomed to being a mafia hitman, and in no way will he fit in the nine-to-five life. You canât decide for him as heâs chosen to be back.â
âImpossible.â
Remembering Jacobâs words with his innocent eyes, she confirms, âHeâs back because he was caught by those bad guys. You have to bring him back.â
âWhy?â
âHeâs my brother.â
âDo you have any blood connections?â
Karinâs exasperated at his question. âBut how to explain you regard Robert as your brother?â
âRobertâs loyal to me, but Jacob wanted to murder me. I might return evil for good, but never will me do it the other way.â
âWhatâs past is past. Jacob didnât mean it. Why canât you let it go?â
âI donât. Iâm just not engaged to save him.â
âFine.â
Karin rises to her feet and leaves his office.
She canât understand why does Troy always take it personally with Jacob?
Coming across Robert in front of the lift, an idea crosses Karinâs mind. âWhich casino is Jacob at?â
Robert asks her with uncertainty, âDonât tell me youâre going to find him.â
He looks around before saying in whisper, âOnly real gamblers are allowed to enter the casino, people like you go there will get killed.â
He makes a gesture of cutting off his head.
âIâm wondering if I can call the police for help.â
Robert says in low voice, âThen Jacob will be involved in the mafia stuff, and he will be put into jail again.â
âThen what should I do?â
âSorry, but you can do nothing with it.â
âTell me where it is. I believe the police will help me and Jacob since heâs forced to join the mafia.â
Robert sighs and gives her the address.
After deliberating for the whole night, Karin turns to Billie since it seems that Troy wonât help Jacob.
When Billie gets her plan, she shakes her head in terror. âNo. You canât go there. Itâs too dangerous.â
âI have to.â
âWhy?â
âBecause I want to prove that Jacob isnât a bad guy as what Troy thinks of. I donât believe Jacob can fool me.â
âBut I donât think Troy fool you. He has told you the fact.â
âSeeing is believing. I have to ask him why he does it again.â
âBut how can you get in there? Itâs said the mafia casinos are hard to get in.â
âThatâs why I come here to ask for your help.â
Billie steps backward. âWhat do you want?â
âI remember you said that your landlady was addicted to gamble. She must know all the casinos around. You tell her Iâm a gambler and asks her to bring me with her.â

âOf course!â
âWhat if Troy doesnât agree?â
âI didnât tell him my plan, since he doesnât want to help me.â
âYou donât have to take a risk for a stranger.â
Karinâs unhappy. âBillie, why do you think of him the way as Troy does? I believe heâs innocent as I regard him as my brother.â
Billie knows that Karin has made up her mind. âOkay. Iâll have a try and tell my landlady.â
âThank...â
âSave it. Iâm at the risk of being killed by Troy. Listen. Come back as soon as possible after meeting Jacob.â
âRelax. I can take care of myself.â
âWhat if you canât find him?â
âWhich proves that Troy has lied to me.â
