Chapter 68
Miguel watched Cody drive out with Celine and he sighed,,He's got to give her some space for now. Just then,a knock came on and he smirked knowing who it was. Scarlet,he called for her,she must be surprised but he had to do something.
He stared at the tracker in his palm and closed them again
Scarlet opened the door and walked in,,her boot heels making some gentle noise since she's taking a step one after the other as she walked closer to Miguel who let out a smile that surprised her.
"Hey" Miguel said
"Hi" She muttered
"I really,,,missed you so much" Miguel started,giving a positive sad expression on his face while Scarlet watch in total amazement
"Really?"
Miguel nodded and took her hand,,
"I'm really,sorry for ignoring you all these while. We are still going to be the same,no matter what" He added and pulled her into a hug
Scarlet was feeling the urge to push him away,he was suspicious but she couldn't resist his charm even though she knew he was up to something,she's too smart not to notice this sudden attitude of his but she didn't care.
It even drove her more crazy when Miguel arranged her hair staring into her face cutely,,how come he's even more handsome? Maybe because they haven't been close to each other recently??
"You look pretty" Miguel muttered still touching her hair and he ended up inserting the tracker,it's so dangerous that she's never going to find out no matter what,,it's waterproof too.
After attaching it,,he placed a kissed on her cheek
"So,,,you mean we are good now?" Scarlet asked
"Of course"
She smiled and immediately hugged him to herself
Miguel scoffed fighting the urge to push her away
"I missed you a lot Miguel,I missed you so much" She said still hugging him
"Yeah me too" Miguel said and broke the hug.
After a while,she left the room and Jax came in.
"What's up?" Jax asked
"Trust me,,she couldn't resist me " Miguel said
Jax chuckled and immediately brought out his laptop,he connected it with the tracker trying to listen to any voice but it was all silent.
"Bet she's still thinking about your sudden attitude,,you know she's smart" Jax said and Miguel nodded
"I know,,but let's be patient" Miguel replied
"How's tonight gonna be? I'm f**king prepared,I want to see Rico,heard he's one dangerous dude" Jax smiled
"You will take the lead tonight,,,I really don't feel good" Miguel said
"Why?"
Miguel thought about Celine before speaking up
"Nothing,,just want it that way. You've informed Sunny right?" Miguel asked
"Yeah,"
"Let's hang out tomorrow,,I've got a lot in my head" Miguel said
"You need to stop getting worried," Jax said pouring a wine for himself,he handed over a cup to Miguel also and poured for him.
Miguel drank everything in a single gulp
They suddenly stopped talking when a voice came out from the laptop,,,Jax immediately plugged the headphones and they sat down to listen to it.
"I think she's on a call" Jax said and Miguel nodded listening attentively
?We need to meet Asap
? Why is everything f**king slow? Get rid of her
Miguel and Jax exchanged looks but didn't say a word
? Let's meet at the usual spot,don't make me wait
The voice went off
"Who is she talking to?" Jax asked
"And who is she planning to get rid of?" He added
"Celine" Miguel replied and Jax faced him
"Are you crazy? Celine? Why will she want to get rid of Celine?"
"She tried killing her once,stop acting like a dummy and inform someone to start stalking her" Miguel snapped
"Now I wished it's a camera,," Jax spoke up
"It's gonna be easy to find out and you know that" Miguel said and Jax nodded
"I will be back" Jax said before going out of the room.
*****
Natasha and Celine walked out of the hospital after seeing the doctor,,she was given some drugs since the pregnancy is still in the early stage so it's really easy to get rid of with pills.
"I am scared" Natasha suddenly blurted and Celine faced her
"Why?"
"If the boss finds out,,He's going to kill me first" Natasha replied
"Then we won't let him find out,,who is gonna tell him?" Celine scoffed
"The Doctor said you will feel some pains at least tonight,,,what if the boss want to know what is wrong?" Natasha asked
"I'm staying in our room tonight" Celine replied
"Celine you're becoming heartless" Natasha chuckled
"I'm not,,I am just doing what I think is the best,,i just hope the pills doesn't have a side effect,,I don't want to get hurt" Celine muttered
"This hospital is the best around here so you don't have to worry okay?"
Celine nodded
"Are you still going to school or you want us to hang out!" Natasha winked
"I can't go to that school today,,"
Just then,Natasha's phone rang and she brought it out of her bag
It's from Sam,she picked it
"Yes?"
"You need to get here right away,the boss have a mission for us" Sam said
"Really? What's that?"
"Stalking Scarlet,they think there is something fishy about her so come here now before she leaves the clan"
"I will be there right away"
Natasha hanged up and faced Celine
"I really need to leave,,I guess you won't have a choice than to go back to school" Natasha said
"Is everything okay?" Celine asked
"Will tell you when you're back" Natasha said and immediately ran off to take a taxi.
Celine also went her own way,she decided to visit Miguel's mom.
When she got to the restaurant,she met some customers and immediately joined Mrs Brown in attending to them,after that they both sat down somewhere to talk.
"It's been long,thought you won't come here again" Mrs Brown said
"Of course not,,I was just busy that's why" Celine said
"Are you sick? You look worn out" Mrs Brown said
"No mom,,I'm fine" Celine shook her head
"Wait here" Mrs Brown said and stood up,,she came back with a bowl of hot soup
"Drink this,,it will make you strong,," Mrs Brown said and handed over a spoon to her
Celine smiled and took the spoon from her,,she sipped from the soup and nodded
"Love the taste" She said and Mrs Brown smiled
"Can I ask a question?" Celine asked and Mrs Brown nkdded
"Do you have any child? Son,,or daughter?" Celine asked and Mrs Brown's mood changed a little
"I have a son,," She said
"Really? Where is he??" Celine asked
"You won't understand" Mrs Brown said
"I'm not going to force you to say something,,but I will be here to listen anytime you're ready" Celine said and Mrs Brown smiled
"I wish my son meets a girl like you,,you're a sweet and amazing person" Mrs Brown said
"Mrs Brown,,is your son handsome?" Celine teased
"He's a greek god,trust me" she replied and they both laughed
They had a lot of chats together,,Celine had to inform Cody to pick her up from there.

"They want to meet me? Why?" He asked

"You will become one soon,,,or are you planning to get another girlfriend aside me?"
"Oh,,,,," Jace itch his neck a little
"I will come pick you up" He smiled
"Good" Laylani said as they got to her car
"I will be expecting you" She pecked his cheek before going into the car
Jace waved at her and watched until she drove out of the school,he also entered his own car and drove off.
Minutes later,he checked the mirror again,,,the same car have been following him since he left the school and it's still after him.
He was partially scared because he's got no weapon with him right now.
He picked his phone and called Jax but got no answer,,he immediately called Miguel and he picked at once
"Hey kid are you okay?" Miguel asked
"Uncle,,,I think I am in trouble" Jace said
"Why?"
"A strange car been trailing after me from school" Jace replied checking the mirror again
"Where are you right now?" Miguel asked
"I'm not close to the clan"
"You know what? Just stop the car close to a mall,club or anywhere close to people,,stay in the club and text me the address,,,I will be right there"
"Thanks,,I will do that now"
Jace checked the mirror again,,,the car is still following
He immediately drove roughly into a bar house and went in,,,he sent the address to Miguel while waiting.

Minutes later,Miguel arrived and walked over to Jace who immediately stood up.
"Where's brother?" Jace asked
"He's not here,,,let's leave" Miguel said and they both went out.
"Do you know their whereabouts now?" Miguel asked
"Not at all" Jace replied
Miguel told Jace to get into the car while he eye searched to see if there's anyone suspicious
And then his eyes landed on a group of men standing around the bar,,they were staring at him also but didn't make any move

"They are not from Rico" Miguel muttered
"Jax!! Sunny!!! Get down!!" Miguel shouted and immediately brought out his g*n but they were late because the men started firing immediately.
Sunny and Jax also hide behind the car getting their guns ready,,they got out of their hiding place firing back at the men but it was like Their target was Miguel because they kept on firing at his direction.
"What is happening?" Sunny asked fearfully as more men joined in searching for Miguel
