My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: High Chamber’s Agenda

"Tinie!"

Nikki stormed out of the room, fuming. The moment she stepped outside, her eyes blazed when she spotted Tinie standing nearby.

Before Tinie could even wonder what was wrong, Nikki marched over, grabbed his collar, and yanked him forward.

"What kind of job did you do?"

Tinie furrowed his brows. "Miss Nikki, I don’t understand what you—"

"Find her," she cut him off with a hiss. "You said the job was done, but clearly it isn’t. I told you to bring her here, but she’s not in there."

"Impossible." Tinie frowned. "She and Red—"

"That’s not her!" Nikki shoved him away and released his collar. "The woman in there is not her. I don’t care how you failed to notice that despite knowing what she looks like."

A dangerous glint flashed across her eyes. "You better drag her here today."

With that, Nikki huffed and turned away, nearly stomping as she left. Her chest swelled with anger as she thought about how Betty and Red had made a fool out of her. If not for today’s agenda, she would have dealt with them right then and there.

"Damn it," she muttered, forcing herself to maintain her composure as she headed toward the High Chamber.

Tinie furrowed his brows as he watched the furious Nikki storm away.

From what he knew, Red and "Ashley" were supposed to be inside. No one had entered or left the room except Nikki herself.

Curious, Tinie approached the room and stepped inside.

The moment he walked farther in, he stopped.

Betty and Red were practically turning the place upside down. As soon as they sensed his presence, both halted and turned toward him.

Tinie narrowed his eyes at Red before shifting them to Betty.

His gaze traveled over her. He recognized the robe she wore, her now-dry hair falling around her shoulders after the towel had slipped down, and the facial mask she had worn since last night now gone.

The second he saw Betty’s face—which looked nothing like the photo he had seen—Tinie felt his heart nearly drop into his stomach.

Without a word, he turned away and pulled out his phone.

"Connect me to the guys still in the country," Tinie ordered under his breath, keeping his panic under control. "We got the wrong woman. She’s still out there."

As Tinie walked away without another word, Betty and Red remained where they were.

They exchanged a glance, shrugged, and continued what they had been doing.

"How did it go?"

Jony stood outside the massive doors of the High Chamber. He smirked as soon as he saw Nikki approaching, but his expression quickly changed when he noticed the look on her face.

"Hey." He grabbed her arm to stop her. "What’s wrong?"

Nikki huffed and turned toward him. "Tinie messed up."

"Huh?"

"She’s not here," Nikki hissed, leaning closer, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent. "He took the wrong person just because Red was with her."

She yanked her arm away. "You better fix this."

With that, Nikki took a deep breath to compose herself before marching toward the doors.

"Fuck," Jony muttered as he pulled out his phone and dialed Tinie. "What the hell happened?"

"I’m sorry, sir." Tinie’s voice came from the other end. "I’ve already contacted the people we left in the city. They’re going to find her."

Jony ground his teeth so hard his grip nearly cracked the phone.

"You better, or I’ll kill you myself."

He ended the call and paced a few steps, trying to suppress his anger.

Tinie had confirmed Ashley was with him, only for them to discover now, of all times, that the woman they took wasn’t Ashley at all.

"Idiot," Jony muttered, loosening his tie before shaking his head. "Not important."

He nodded to himself and turned toward the High Chamber to join the ongoing meeting.
