Matteo nodded.
“I’m on it, sir.
”
The task, however, resembled a proverbial needle in a_ haystack, burdened further by the passage of time.
Just as Matteo approached the threshold, Mitchel’s voice resonated across the room.
“Wait a minute!”
Mitchel’s eyes sparkled with determination.
“Bring me the file on Katie’s bodyguard.
”
Quickly, Matteo presented Abel’s dossier to Mitchel.
As Mitchel looked through the file, his forehead creased.
“Is Abel one of the Dark Ind’s assassins?”
“That’s what I’ve heard.
Mr.
Glyn hired Abel for Miss Glyn.

The look Abel gave Katie was different from the one in the photograph.

He tapped the photo firmly.

“Will do.

When the hood was removed, the man red fiercely at his captors.
Confronted by four imposing men, he remained fearless and dered, “You’re courting death!”
As four imposing men stepped aside, an attractive man stepped forward.
Abel’s confident look wavered upon seeing the attractive man.
“Abel, you know why we’re here,” Mitchel said coldly.
Abel lowered his head, silent.
Mitchel continued with deliberate intent, “Katie’s child…”
At Katie’s name, Abel tensed.
Mitchel’s smirk grew.
His guess was spot-on.
“It’s yours!”
Abel shook his head vigorously, desperation in his tone.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“No!” he insisted.
Mitchel remained unfazed, his tone even.
“Your hair waspared with the DNA sample,” he revealed.
