"I will be there in an hour, keep everything ready for immediate take-off.." Nedvar ordered and cut the call.
He sighed at Rocco who was busy watching some nude pictures on his phone. Nedvar smacked his head making Rocco groan at him, "What the heck?? If you don't like this all, at least let a man satisfy his holy eyes," Rocco complained while rubbing his head where Nedvar had smacked him.
"Don't you have a meeting with Hermione tomorrow at noon," Nedvar asked him and Rocco just nodded at him.
"I have everything under control, Capo..." Rocco replied with a nervous smile after be saw Nedvar staring at him like a devil with his dark grey eyes.
"Let's go now," Nedvar walked out and Rocco followed him.
They both sat in Nedvar's navy blue Audi in the back and the driver drove them to the airport.
Nedvar's personal jet was ready to take off, after all the checking Nedvar walked inside the jet and took a seat next to the window and Rocco sat opposite to him with his coat having it's own place next to his seat.
Rocco took out his phone, which is mostly used for Mafia deals, he had to check on the shipment contract.
He saw an anonymous message pop up on the screen, he clicked on it to find a jpg file. He checked the message, his face turning blank face. He looked up at Nedvar who had his head leaned back and eyes closed because of exhaustion.
"Capo.." hearing Rocco's cold voice with a hint of hesitation, Nedvar focused his undivided gaze on Rocco.
Nedvar simply took the phone from his extended hand and the next moment his eyes were fixed at the phone's screen. Nedvar frowned in anger, his grip on the phone tightening every second he read the message.
"Scheiße!!!!" (Fuck in German) Nedvar shouted in anger and Rocco in a swift took his phone because any second Nedvar can smash it in anger.
Rocco had a got a message from an anonymous number stating:
Destroying beautiful things is so much fun.. And the outcome of destroying Queen would be so satisfying....
And a picture of Hermione walking out of her company with Sam following her. Nedvar took deep breaths to calm himself down. He knew it was of no use trying to track the number down as it was a burner phone.
"I gave you one work and that was to protect her, that also you were not able to follow," Nedvar hissed in the call with his coldest tone making the person on the other side shiver in fear.
"Chill a little, Capo, otherwise the man will pee in his pants because of fear," Rocco tried to lighten his mood but only to get the most deadliest glare from Nedvar.
Rocco just put his hands up in surrender while nervously smiling at Nedvar, who just rolled his eyes at Rocco.
"Dig the whole information about the new guard, make sure to be aware of the surroundings,"
"I trust you, so you are protecting her, so make sure if you find anything suspicious, remove that thing without any more delay," with his final order he cut the call not giving the other person to reply.
Rocco sat stiffly because when it comes to family safety Nedvar becomes too sensitive. Nedvar does not like anyone invading his family's privacy or trying to bring harm to them.
After take off...
"Ahh~~!" Rocco yawned for the nth time and Nedvar wanted to throw him off the door in the sky.
"What the fuck?" Nedvar shouted when he saw Rocco again yawning like a big buffalo next to his face. Rocco just jumped out of his seat and sat a little far away from Nedvar.
Whereas Nedvar continued his work of trying to look at the details of Hermione's guards who mostly are near to her.
As it's always someone near to you who will bring danger to you...
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"The set-up was about a loyalty test as I want people who work under me, won't try to betray me and my business for some dollars." Hermione said her point of view while Sam sat next to her in the back of the van. Hermione explained about him being the very first person she personally wanted to test.
"So the call I got this morning was also your doing," Hermione just nodded at him making Sam connect the dots.
FLASHBACK
Sam sat on the couch in the lobby areas on the floor with a cup of coffee and a plan croissant in his other hand.
He heard Hermione's cabin door open and Hermione walked outside with her phone attached in between her ear and shoulder. "I don't think this will work," Hermione said with her cold voice which had hint of uncertainty. Sam frowned at her words but he choose to stay out of it.
Sam felt his phone vibrate and he also saw from the corner of his eyes that Hermione glanced at him and walked inside her cabin.
Strange. He thought and answered the call.
"Don't speak a word, just listen.. Bring the blue file from Hermione's cabin tonight to the address I will message you once send me a picture of the file and I will transfer-" Sam just the call not being interested any of his talks.
'He said don't speak but did not say anything about cutting the call.'
Sam thought and let this matter be deleted from his brain.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Sam opened his side of the door and walked towards the elevator and Hermione walked in front of him.
"Don't think much about it now, just know that I can't put my company at risk because of a foolish decision, so I make sure I know a person's intention before I trust them" Hermione explained and walked out of the elevator towards her bedroom.
The next day....
The maids were busy with their morning tasks and some night guards were having breakfast waiting for the morning guards to arrive. The guards wore the grey suit making them look very scary and professional.
The penthouse was silent and only whispers here and there did by the maids and guards greeting each other and asking about each other's we'll being....
The head maid Stella, was ordering the young maids about the laundry and cleaning tasks.
The gym door opened making the young maids eye the man who came out with a sweat layer on his face and neck. Sam walked out of the gym wearing a low waist joggers showing his kelvin boxers and t-shirt which had thin sleeves and his thick muscle arms fully visible to everyone in the room. He had white ear pods with a towel in his hand as he occasionally wiped his sweaty neck and a protein shake bottle in his other hand.
Sam walked out off the living room to the stairs without glancing around as he was busy scrolling his phone. The maids were snapped out of their dirty thoughts by loud stern voice of Stella the head maid.
Sam walked inside his room into the bathroom for a cold shower. After freshening up for the morning he wore his black suit.
Sam had requested that he won't wear the grey suit as the colour grey being like a uniform to the guards. Hermione did not question more and allowed him to wear the black suit he preferred.
Sam climbed downstairs to the dining room to have his breakfast. Thanking the maid for the breakfast, he ate his breakfast. In the middle of sipping his coffee he felt his phone ring off, so he tapped his right ear pod as to answer the call.
"I hope I am speaking to Xavier Houston's son Samuel Houston," a very worried voice was heard. Sam knew it was Dr Danielle his father's doctor.
"Dr Danielle is everything fine?" Sam asked with worried voice but it came out as a whisper and his face was blank.
"Samuel you have to visit the hospital once as I can't explain anything to you on the call," Dr Danielle spoke in a rushed tone making Sam frown. Sam could not take a leave as he had keep Hermione accompanied in a meeting with Mr. Emiliano.
This meeting is very important and Sam has to be with Hermione because it is also about her safety.
"Dr Danielle, can I meet you in the evening?" Sam inquires with hesitation. "No problem, Samuel just don't delay it tomorrow,"
"Sure, I will be there at sharp 6"
"Ok then, good day,"
"Good day, Dr Danielle" Sam sat with a blank face, his mind having a war. He could come to calm himself down, he was panicking internally and began to feel the large dining room getting ten times smaller and the air getting thick making him feel difficult while breathing. Sam's father's health was a very sensitive topic to him and the emotionless Sam would crumple down in vulnerability.
Taking sharp deep breaths he calmed himself down. Sam looked up to see a young maid taking Hermione's breakfast from the kitchen aisle and walking out towards the stairs.
Sam jugged down the bitter coffee and by the time he looked towards the place where the young maid was only to see no one there turning his gaze right and left he found the maid already halfway through the stairs. Sam jumped out of his chair and marched hastily towards the stairs and climbed two stairs at a time and soon he reached next to the young maid.
"Good day, Mr. Samuel," The young maid addressed in her soft voice making Sam just nod at her. Both Sam and the young maid walked to Hermione's office door. Sam knocked on the large brown door, like every time after few seconds a cold yet soft voice spoke come in.
Sam opened the door making his way inside to see Hermione doing some graphics in her iPad.
"Good morning, Queen," Sam greeted with his cold chilly voice while giving her a curt nod.
Hermione just smiled not taking her eyes off the iPad. Sam took a seat on one of the chairs kept in front of the table. Sam observed Gina the young maid whose name he read from the beads bracelet she wore on her wrist. Gina left after keeping the breakfast at the small glass table placed in the right corner of the room.
The couch was placed against the window wall. Hermione got up making her way to the couch. She took a seat and took the glass of juice only to be snatched away from her hand.
Hermione frowned in confusion at Sam's interruption. "What are you doing?" Hermione asked in a semi-anger tone. "Ms. Stella the head maid is in charge of your meals and Eli has informed no matter what work only Ms. Stella has to serve your meals"
"I will go exchange this and bring the one prepared by Ms. Stella." Sam was about to pick the breakfast tray but..
"Don't bother, I only told Stella to send my breakfast through Gina today," Hermione explained and stated to have her breakfast as she was very much hungry..
Sam sat there simply not knowing what is this new system he has got himself into. The rules made does not get changed by anyone and Hermione herself tries to follow them
The food thing is not a big issue if the other maid serve it. But Hermione had been drugged twice and once poisoned with a very minimal venom so Hermione's parents are the ones to put these rules and Hermione having health issues because of this made Eli and her parents always keep her guarded.
Sam knew about this all as he also did some background checks and Eli had given him a full-blown explanation about Hermione and her health.
"It's a test to check how much attentive you are," Hermione said and took a spoonful of her chocolate muffin.
Sam stared at the woman like she is gone crazy. He did not said anything because he knows that he should be very much attentive about all his surroundings as Hermione's tests are very unexpected and she keeps an eye on the very minute things.
Sam thought it is waste of time but was clever enough not voice out his thoughts.
Hermione had her breakfast while scrolling through some business news articles.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Okay! Capo, now I have to leave for the company as I have a meeting with Queen herself." Rocco informed Nedvar while both of them climbed down the stairs of the jet.
"Don't you dare talk any gibberish with her," Nedvar warned him while pointing a finger at him. Rocco just lazily nodded his head while making his way to his emerald Aston Martin. "People choose love over their friends... proved," With that mocking Rocco drove in full speed not letting Nedvar catch him to smack his head.
Nedvar just glared at the retreating car, he sighed and walked to his own navy blue Audi and drove with the security cars his father had sent him.
