Exposed to the CEO Behind the Mafia Mask (by Silver Spoon) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Raid and Capture

Veronica’s POV

God, what a nightmare this backwater hellhole turned out to be. The underground salon I visited today was decent enough, but these people are complete amateurs compared to the high-end establishments in the Thorne family territory. I needed to escape this pathetic safe house as soon as possible.

"Monica, shut that screaming brat up. His wailing is echoing through the entire warehouse," I snapped while stepping into this decrepit hideout my father had somehow managed to secure for us in the neutral zone. "So, what’s the verdict?" I struck a pose to show off my fresh transformation.

"Perfect, it’s identical to Ivy’s style," Monica nodded approvingly while checking the security monitors. "But that salon trip was reckless. The Thorne syndicate has eyes everywhere."

"Exactly the reaction I was hoping for. When my gorgeous Don discovers that witch betrayed him, he’ll lose his mind seeing me like this." My pulse quickened thinking about running into Caleb. "Plus, I’m a complete stranger in this territory."

"This child never stops his tantrum. He was so much calmer when we first snatched him from that daycare," Monica complained while pacing near the reinforced windows.

"Just slip him something from my stash. I’ve got enough sedatives right here in my bag, interested?" I suggested casually while checking my reflection in the cracked mirror.

"Have you lost your mind? We can’t eliminate the kid before Caleb fulfills our demands. Let him exhaust himself with all that screaming."

"Honestly Monica, maternal instincts clearly aren’t your forte." I burst into laughter watching her revolted expression toward the child. "You should have seen yourself when you grabbed him from the playground."

"He simply can’t stand looking at you," Monica shot back venomously while adjusting her shoulder holster. "Your father should have secured better accommodations. This place is absolutely revolting."

"My thoughts exactly, but he insisted we needed to blend into the shadows here. Still, I’m going out of my mind with boredom."

A sharp rap at the reinforced door interrupted us. That useful idiot Brodie had arrived with supplies. Monica rushed to let him through the multiple security locks, and he immediately pulled her against him. At least he brought provisions and ammunition. She dragged him toward the back room, and I knew precisely what that desperate woman was planning. Within minutes, her shameless moaning filled the air like some animal in heat. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After a while, Brodie departed through the emergency exit, leaving Monica hiding in the bedroom like a coward. I demanded she handle the screaming child, but she told me to manage it myself. The audacity nearly made me strike her across the face with my concealed knife.

I tossed a package of crackers at the little monster, and he hurled every single one back at my face with surprising accuracy. My rage was boiling over like molten steel. Fine, I would secure this obnoxious kid to the support beam and abandon him there while I slept. His problems weren’t mine to solve.

I retreated to my makeshift room, plugged in my headphones to block his endless crying, and pulled my silk sleep mask over my eyes. Tomorrow I needed to look absolutely stunning for my reunion with my darling Don.
