Around one hour later, the sound of Nathaniel’s car could be heard. Without any hesitation, I got into the car and sat beside him.
“It’s going to be uncomfortable where we’re going. Are you sure you’re up to it?” Nathaniel asked.
“Don’t underestimate me. I am, after all, someone that caught your eye. I’m not going to disgrace you,” I answered indifferently.
Smirking in response, Nathaniel ordered the driver, “Drive.”
One hour later, we arrived at a golf course on the outskirts of the city. There, we boarded a helicopter and headed for Loang.
Just as Nathaniel had said, he was the only person in the business that was a germaphobe and suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
All I saw were men in messy clothing and bases filled with wooden structures. The drug lords there looked like vagabonds while some of the other bases didn’t even have toilets. Hence, one had to do one’s business out in the wild.
The only good thing being by Nathaniel’s side was that I had access to a hot bath before I slept every night.
There, even the children were given guns. To them, human life was worth less than animals.
What shocked me the most were the children. Instead of playing with toys, they gathered in a circle playing poker, where the winner got to shoot the loser to death. After that, the children would drag the loser’s body aside in a nonchalant manner before continuing with their game. Those that survived would go on to join the drug cartel.
During the entire seven days, we went to a total of thirteen different countries and met with most of Nathaniel’s direct competitors.
No one really treated me as Mrs. Hall. Instead, they just assumed that Nathaniel had finally discovered how amazing women are. In fact, they even commented brazenly on my body and looks behind Nathaniel’s back. They were of the opinion that Nathaniel should’ve found someone younger.
Despite how uncouth they were, they treated me with respect on the account of Nathaniel’s status. Moreover, I even managed to avoid all security checks which allowed my phone to continue transmitting my location.
On the afternoon of the ninth day, our trip came to an end as we returned to K City.
