Agent X

Chapter 10: Hello again, Chief.

*GIULIANA’S POV*

I walked straight to her bed and slump my body on the soft mattress.

“Ahh…it really feels awesome to have a billionaire brother,” I commented and rolled over to the bed.

“Don’t change the subject, Giuliana Rae Cameron, tell me what happened in the agency, and who are those who tried to kill you?” I heard Aileen started asking questions as my head is still buried on her pillow.

I sighed as I remember what my Dad told me back at the office.

Arranged marriage his *ss! I thought as I sat up and turned around to look at Aileen who is staring at me with her worried yet serious eyes as she comfortably sat on the couch just across the bed. I smiled at her and told her everything that my father said earlier.

“Dad set up an arrange marriage for me,” I started then I saw her astounded look while gaping her mouth.

“No way!” she said.

“Yes way, he did, with a straight poker face, like he always does,” I replied and sat on the edge of her bed.

“Did you agree?” she asked again.

“Well, I did say that I’m going to do it, but of course, that is just a false agreement,” I answered with a playful smile on my lips, as I saw her heaved a sigh.

“Thank God you’re not that stupid,” she said and I chuckled at her response.

“So, did your father found out that you lied to him, and he ordered his men to kill you?” Aileen guessed but I shook my head as a no.

“I don’t think so. My guess is those men came from the other gangs I encountered a month ago,” I answered and she just nodded her head at me.

“Let’s just hope that your father won’t find out about your disobedience,” she said but I just scoffed at her words.

“I want him to know about it,” I replied with a smirk.

“Oh yeah? Then, what about your brother Gabriel? He’ll be in danger if ever your Dad found out,” she replied.

“You’re worried about Gab?” I teased her with my right eyebrow raising and a playful smirk on my lips.

“Of course! He’s also like a brother to me,” she replied with wide eyes, which made me laugh.

“Well, to ease your worriedness, he’s under Treyvon’s protection, and I know Trey wouldn’t let his father harm my brother. Furthermore, Gabriel is a trained assassin, he can handle any threat from that old man,” I replied, and she nodded her head as an agreement.

“You have a point there,” she agreed.

Then, silence filled the room as we both shut our mouths, not until Aileen spoke again with another question.

“So what’s your plan now?” she asked, so I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking of a possible answer to her question.

“I still don’t have any plans yet,” I answered in all honesty.

“So why did you come here?” she asked again, then I remembered Sheila, the main reason why I came here.

“I’m here to drop Sheila off and give her to you,” I answered without looking at her.

“What? So you want Sheila to work for me from now on?” Aileen confirmed and I just gave her a thumbs up.

“Okay, I can hire her for now, but how about you? Do you have any place to go to?” she inquired.

“Hmm…a place that is safe and a place where the old man can surely not trespassed so easily?” I answered her with a question too.

“Yeah,” she shortly replied.

“Uhm, no, I don’t have any place like that in mi~ Wait,” I said as an idea came into my mind. I quickly sat up and looked at Aileen with a smirk on my face.

“I may not have owned a place such as that, but I do know a safe place where I can freely move without my Dad’s men lurking around,” I added and Aileen just looked at me with curiosity and confusion as she slightly tilts her head to her right.

“And where would that be?” she asked, with her left eyebrow raising.

“The PBI,” I shortly replied then she stood up and placed her hands on her waist, like a mother lecturing her child.

“What!? Have you lost your mind, Giuliana!?” she hysterically said to me.

“Wait, let me explain,” I said and she just glared at me, but I ignored that and explained myself.

“Look, my father has a lot of connections inside and outside of this country, so wherever I go, he will still find me and dragged me back to his den, but if I’m inside his sworn enemy’s territory, then he can’t control me, he has no authority over the PBI department, which means, I am safe there from my father,” I explained and she just facepalmed.

“Okay, I got your point there, but Giul, the PBI is also after you. They want to capture you and put you in jail,” she said worriedly.

“I know, which is why, I will be offering them a proposal,” I replied which made her more curious.

“What proposal?” Aileen asked again.

“I’m going to give them all the information they need to capture those listed in their blacklists. Let’s just say that I am going to betray the Angelus Mortis Agency and my father, too,” I answered.

“Unbelievable. Don’t you realize that if you do that, the agency will send assassins to kill you, they might even send your brother to end your life,” Aileen said as she walked towards me and sat beside me on her bed, then, she grabbed both of my hands and squeezed them.

“Look, Giul, I support you in every decision you make, but please, think about this carefully. I don’t want to lose you,” she said and I smiled at her.

“You won’t lose me Ai, besides, I am Agent X, I can handle myself Ai, trust me,” I assured her as I grab her hands too and squeezed them.

“Promise me you’ll survive and defeat all the assassins that the agency will send after you,” she said and I just nodded at her, then she hugged me tightly. I smiled at her sweetness and hugged her back.

After a minute, I let go of the hug and looked straight into her eyes.

“Now, I’m going to need your help with my plan,” I said to her with a smile.

“Uhm, okay, but what is your plan?” she asked.

“I will be marrying the PBI Chief,” I answered her and she smacked me in the head.

“Ow!” I complained and glared at her.

“Stop joking already and tell me everything so I can help you,” she said and crossed her arms.

“I just did,” I said in a matter-of-fact tone, but she just raised her eyebrow at me, so I sighed and grabbed her shoulders.

“I told you already that I slept with Chief Lazano, right?” I reminded her and she nodded at me.

“Okay, so when I was changing this morning, I saw a…Uhm…something like a last will of testament, and that note was addressed to the PBI Chief personally, and that paper states that for the chief to receive his full inheritance, he must have a wife and a child of his own, and I think he’s currently looking for a wife, so I am going to use that as a way to gain full protection from my father,” I explained to Aileen and she nodded her head.

“And in order for him to agree, you’re going to offer the information you have gathered, in exchange for your safety? Is that right?” Aileen confirmed and I nodded at her with a smile.

“D*mn b*tch, you’re a genius,” she commented and I just flipped my hair as I lift my chin, like a proud b*tch, then she just laughed at me.

“Alright, so…what now? What should we do?” Aileen asked and a playful smirked crept on my lips.

“Can you call your godfather? As I recall, he’s a judge, am right?” I asked and she nodded at me.

“Yes, he is… Is it going to be a civil wedding?” she asked with a smile and I nodded at her.

It’s time to prepare for the most unexpected wedding of the year. I thought to myself as I watch Aileen called her godfather.

I waited for ten minutes until they finished talking on the phone and Aileen walks back to me with two thumbs up while moving her head from side to side, as if she’s dancing her way towards me.

“Alright! So we have the judge for the civil wedding…the guests, and that’s you, of course,” I said and her smile widens.

“How about a wedding dress?” she asked and I nodded at her. Then, she pulled me towards her dresser and pulled out all of her white dresses inside, and hand it over to me. I checked each dress and picked a white backless bandage dress with long sleeves. I looked at Aileen who is now smirking at me, then I hugged the dress.

“What would I do without you, Ai?” I asked dramatically and she just flipped her hair at me.

“A black stiletto and black clutch bag will suit that dress,” Aileen said and went to her cabinet where all of her bags and shoes are carefully stored. After a short while, she returned with a pair of black stiletto with diamonds as its designs and a black clutch bag with, again, diamonds on it.

“Okay, so your dress is ready, and all the accessories needed…Oh, by the way, Giul, how are you going to lure Chief Lazano out? Don’t tell me you’ll just barge into his office?” Aileen said as she placed the pair of earrings on the vanity table.

“Of course not, Ai. I want to have a cool entrance to his office, so I was planning to have someone gave him a piece of information that includes my location, appearance, and identity as Agent X,” I replied.

“Alright, I’ll have one of my guards call the PBI office and have him tell where you will be going,” Aileen said and I nodded at her.

She really knows what to do, and that is also the reason why I made her my personal assistant. I thought to myself and smiled.

For the rest of the day, we did nothing but to prepare for my plan of meeting the PBI Chief tonight as Agent X. Aileen already had one of his guards ready to go to the PBI main office as an informant about the oh-so-famous Agent X. I also booked a private dinner with Aileen’s godfather, in a five-star hotel, to talk more about the wedding that I planned, I also told Aileen’s guard to use that opportunity to give Chief Lazano the false information that I am meeting up with a judge to bribe the judge and erase all of my crimes. And as the rumors go, Chief Lazano will not allow such an act to happen further, plus, it may sound suspicious that someone suddenly reported to the PBI main office about Agent X, but knowing how desperate they are in capturing me, I’m sure the PBI officers will be there.

Two hours left before the scheduled time of the dinner with Aileen’s godfather, Aileen told me to prepare myself and gave me all the things I needed for my special wedding, so I excused myself and took a bath, then changed into the dress she lends me, then she volunteered to do my hair and makeup so I let her do her masterpiece.

“Alright, you’re ready to go,” she said so I looked at myself in the mirror and blessed my best friend. She put my hair into a neat and perfect bun with bangs arranged neatly, she also made me wear a set of jewelry made of pure gold, my makeup is not that heavy, and is just enough to emphasize my eyes and lips.

“Thanks, Ai,” I thanked her with a smile on my face.

“No worries Giul. I will not allow you to attend your marriage looking like a trashy f*ck girl,” she said which made me laugh.

“Alright, now we just have to wait for the set time,” I said and smiled at my reflection.

“Yes, oh, I almost forgot. Samuel, that guard I ordered to report to the PBI main office, called earlier to inform us that the PBI agents are already in the MiHaven Hotel, waiting for your arrival, he said that they have secured all passages of the hotel,” Aileen reported to me and I just nodded at her.

“Also, Emmerson, my godfather, is already on his way to the hotel. He just texted me,” Aileen added as she waved her cellphone in front of me.

“Alright then, shall we go?” I asked and she nodded at me too before she grabbed her blue handbag, then we both walked out of her room. Aileen is now wearing a dark blue casual dress with a pair of silver stiletto, she did prepare herself as a guest for my unexpected wedding.

We both jumped into her car and she drives towards the MiHaven Hotel. I opened the sun visor in the passenger seat and checked my makeup, and closed it.

After an hour of driving, Aileen parked her car in front of the MiHaven Hotel’s front door.

“We’re here. Are you ready, X?” she asked and I smiled at her.

“I’m always ready,” I replied and showed her a gun pocket attached to my left thigh, with a Kimber K6s hidden inside. She shook her head with a smile.

“Go on, your prince is waiting inside,” she joked and I just smirked at her.

“See you later at the PBI main office,” I said to her and removed my seat belt then stepped out of her tinted car. Once I was out of her car, I felt eyes staring at me, but not just because of my beauty, but also because I am their target for tonight’s mission.

I walked my way inside the hotel as if I had no idea about what’s going to happen here. I proceeded to the reception area and told them about my reservation with Mr. Emmerson, Aileen’s godfather. After confirming my reservation, a bellman leads me to the diner, where the judge is waiting for me. As soon as he saw me, he stood up and introduced himself.

“Miss Cameron, it is an honor to finally meet my goddaughter’s best friend,” Mr. Emmerson said and offered his hand for a handshake, and I gladly accepted it.

“It’s nice to meet you too, Attorney Emmerson,” I said and smiled at him. Then, he invited me to sit down before he gave me a brown envelope. I smiled at him before I opened the envelope and pulled out the white long folder inside, and there, I saw the marriage certificate that I must sign later, together with Chief Lazano. I smiled again and closed the folder, placed it back in the envelope, and give it back to him. He took the envelope back and nodded at me.

“I’ll take a hold of that later, after I have signed it with my fiancé, thank you so much, Your Honor,” I said to him.

“Don’t mention it. Aileen is my favorite godchild so I will do her requests. Oh, Aileen also told me that you’ll be paying me now?” he asked and I nodded at him. Then I took out a small brown envelope from my black clutch bag, this envelope is filled with money, I opened the envelope to check the contents first, and gave it to him, then he nodded at me again.

“Do you have any other requests, Miss Cameron?” he asked.

“No, this all I needed. Thank you,” I answered him and he nodded before he stood up, so I stood up too and bid my goodbye to him. Then, he left the hotel and so did I. I walked towards the parking lot as I felt someone following behind me. I also noticed that there’s no one in the parking lot except for the PBI officers, surrounding me as they hide.

I stopped in my tracks and slowly reached for the handgun in my thigh, and as soon as I have a tight grip over it, I quickly spun around and was welcomed by the tip of a Glock 43X gun as Chief Lazano stared straight into my eyes with a serious and stern look on his face. While I pointed my gun at him too, with a playful smirk on my lips.

“Hello there Chief. Nice to see you again,” I greeted him but he did not say anything as the other PBI officers approached us and pointed their guns at me, and I notice a female PBI officer took my gun from my hand then another officer pulled my hands to my back and placed a handcuff on me. Nevertheless, I remained staring at Chief Lazano with a smile as he lowered his gun and looked straight into my eyes. Then he gave his instructions to his men.

“Take her back to the main office’s interrogation room,”

“Yes, sir!” his subordinates answered as they pull me away from that spot and drag me towards a van where most of the PBI officers will be riding with me, to ensure that I won’t escape.

And now, all that is left is to have the PBI Chief sign the marriage contract. I thought to myself as I felt the van started driving away from the hotel.
