"Alright." She said more to herself than to Lara. She took in a deep breath before continuing "For caution, keep him hidden. Everything will go back to normal in a day or two." Zenovia's words were a promise in itself she didn't need to justify them, everyone close to her knew this about her very well. 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56NLSvA8W

Lara exhaled assured clutching the Hem of her dress still scared for her family being well aware that getting themselves involved by signing the contract with Zenovia for mutual benefits was lethal because it turned out they were on the short end of the stick.
Lara was being the voice of her family, while the others heard their conversation on the sidelines.
Except lara, the other family members were wary of the schemer, because they saw both sides of Zenovia, they figured out pretty late that she was kind with a purpose.
Afterall the Edwards were receiving the free medicines in accordance with Zenovia. In other words, She was bearing all their medical expenses and in exchange they were taking care of Kai. They were desperate so they agreed regardless the risk, Zenovia was contented too with no complaints from Kai's side.
Zenovia hung up after exchanging the goodbyes. She didn't really considered the Edwards her close relations and kept it formal. They just supported her for the last three years of high school which wasn't really a great help. For the time period spent with them she observed the family was suffering from Chronic diseases. The details aren't important but years later during graduation when Zenovia's life twisted she used every ounce of it to her advantage.
On the other hand Hugo sneaked inside the target room the second Zenovia stepped into the study.
His eyes widen a fraction. The sight in front of him could make a snake crawl out of his skin.
"Callen Trevino?" A low shaky whisper sounding unreal to his own ears escaped Hugo after he studied the man's profile who's eyes pierced into his, leaning against the wall opposite the door closely for two minutes. The onn guard silver pacing around Callen growled at the foreign presence. A shadow fell over Callen's sharp features, he smirked -it wasn't a friendly one. He took two steps towards hugo, no sounds were made, like a ghost he approached, his hand went behind his back and in a blink of an eye he was in Hugo's face with the barrel of the revolver forced in his mouth, pushed him against the wall adjacent to door. Hugo wasn't behind with the defense as he matched his speed with Callen's and had his gun placed on Callen's temple. Callen's other hand choking his throat, sweat beads trickled down Hugo's pale white face, Hugo lifted up his free hand in surrender. Only the sound Silver's licking his paw and Hugo's shaky unsteady breaths could be heard.
"If she knows. You're dead." Callen growl came low as deadly. His eyes gleamed dark. He only cared about his target, not the obstacles.
Hugo managed to kick Callen's knee and he tightened his grip before releasing him and stepping back to allow him enough space to fall to his knees as he coughed between long breaths of relief.
Callen sat back cross legged on the floor by the bed post opposite the wall Hugo was laid. Silver sprawled across Callen's lap, his sides rising and falling quietly.

After a while Hugo caught his breath and whispered "Why?" 'Why it had to be him!?' "Why her?" 'Given her skills it could've been her long ago, if not him, someone else could've taken advantage of her, given, she technically dances on the line between the underground world and the civilians.' "..How?" 'Was it all planned?' "...No!" 'This can't be happening. If he stays Zenovia might get involved in mafia too. I have to save her before Callen fully takes control of her! Doesn't She already has so much complications in her life? he will prove to be another layer on her iced cake!' He shook his head vigorously, his mind in chaos. Zenovia was one useful pawn and hugo knew it. He had been trying to completely cut ties with the mafia but he's only partially successful. He only wants to be a businessman and lead a simple life with Zenovia.
