CHAPTER 97

BLAZE

I was smoking outside the porch of this rundown house that I thought I would never find someone like that beauty.

The house was torn and ripped for years, didn’t think that it can hold inside something so beautiful, something so valuable, something a naked eye should see.

Erika Jean Khan.

Her piece of s**t of a father even spelled out to me her name.

When her dark black eyed looked at mine the moment I saw her, it pierces right inside of me.

She’s looking at me like Corinne would look at me after she what been through in my hands five years ago.

The curve of her body is just like my wife’s. The hair color, the eyes, the lips. Everything looks just like Corinne’s.

I heard a familiar thump of footstep walks beside me “Why I didn’t hear of her before?”

“He must keep her out of the radar. You know how this organizations works if one finds out you have a daughter.” Angus explained.

I looked at him, took another drag of my cigarette, f*****g fuming. “Only to f*****g sold her own to me now?”

Angus sighed in defeat “I—I don’t know how this happened.”

“Is she getting ready?” I realized that it wasn’t Angus’ fault, he’s surprised as I do.

“She is. Why did you bite on the Colonel’s deal? She’s not Corinne, Blaze.”

“There’s only one way to find out.”

Angus sighed “Blaze? Corinne wouldn’t survive a crash just like that plane. This is just a coincidence.”

I chuckle sarcastically “f*****g coincidence, even her f*****g smell is the same.”

“What’s your plan? What are we going to say if the company and the organization heard about this or ask what happened down here in Forks?”

“Just tell them that I talked to the Colonel and we agreed that he will pay in no time.”

“And what if they look onto the funds?”

“Then I will f*****g give them my f*****g money!” I snap, getting frustrated.

“Then what are you going to do about her?”

“What about her?” I looked at the house as if she’s there watching me, but I can feel it. Her eyes on mine.

“Where are you going to hide her?”

“My mansion at Penn. She might like the place there.” I said softly, like she is a very delicate thing to speak to.

“I must remind you, Blaze. She’s not your wife.”

“Run her a DNA, Investigate further about the Khan’s. I wanted to know more.”

He sighs “Anything else?”

“Nothing as of now, just get the mansion in Penn prepared. And don’t tell a soul about this.” I ordered.

“What if Hannah finds out?”

“She wouldn’t. and she better not be.”

The front door of the house burst open, and I am greeted by a very miserable Erika, looking back at me with fear and anger brewing.

Her Mother is crying too, but her f*****g Father smirking.

I wanted to kill him, until now, but he’s right, this deal is too hard to passed on. He knew that Erika looks like my dead wife. And maybe that is why the nerve of this man not to pay the billions from us is because he knew he have something I longing for so long.

Erika walks towards me as I opened the passenger door of the limousine for her, everything about her screams Corinne. But what is missing is the fierce and the fight that my wife has.
