Chapter 8
ROZ AZRAEL'S POINT OF VIEW
"Azrael!" My superior called me by my last name.
I looked at him.
He directly looked into my eyes.
I was called to my superior's office. I didn't know why.
After Blaike left the organization. I became the leader of our team. Because I am the one that was capable of handling it. And I know the ways of Blaike since I've been with him for three years.
I've been handling the team for almost a year now. There is no problem with it. Since all of my team members know me. And also know that Blaike had already finished all his mission and responsibility in the organization and group.
"You know Renzo Smith?" My superior asked me.
"Yes!" I answered.
He is the second-ranking in the underground society. The left hand of the former head superior. He was one of Blaike's co-workers. They were the first five batch that had a lot of things known in this kind of society.
"Renzo Smith would replace you as the leader of the group. He would lead the group that you once lead. After this one mission that he needed to do. You could take over your group again. Buf you would be assisting Renzo, just like you assist Blaike, " My superior stated.
The news shocked me.
Because I know that Renzo Smith the organization once leave the organization and never wanted to come back in here. But now he would take over the group that Blaike had left in my hands.
I could not care less. Since I also wanted to work with Renzo.
It was been an opportunity for me. Because almost all of the people in the underground society wanted to work with the five of them.
"Yes! I would love to, " I answered and smiled.
I could learn some methods from Renzo to be more powerful and intelligent like them.
I hope he didn't have any attitude. And he was nice like Blaike.
"You can go to the room where he held the meeting. He is waiting for you in there, " he ordered.
I just nodded at him and left his office.
RENZO SMITH'S POINT OF VIEW
"Rod Azrael?" I asked him while looking at him up and down.
There is a young boy in front of me right now. I think he was about my age.
I am meeting him in our warehouse for every underground society's men. We all gathered in here, or go in here for an important occasion.
I am seeing him right now. Because he was the one that was instructed to help me on investigating my wife's case.
Until now, I still could not believe that I am doing this. But at the end of the day, I needed to get to the bottom of this. I know myself that Amelia would do that kind of thing. She was the nicest person I know. Even after we got married she became cold to me. But it was okay since she was nice to other people.
Everyone thinks that we are a happy loving couple. They kept praising our love story. But they didn't know that Amelia was changing as time passes. I can't blame her, because I know that our marriage, is just always been an arranged marriage. There was no love involved in our marriage.
"Yes! I am Rod Azrael. Nice meeting you, " he greeted me and offered a handshake.
I immediately accepter it, and we had shaken.
"Does the superiors had already told you that you are gonna be assisting me?" I asked him.
"Yes! I am aware, " he answered.
I am glad that our superiors had already told him. Because I didn't want to have a long discussion.
I only wanted to get to the bottom of this. I would re-investigate this case and prove them wrong.
Amelia could never do such things.
Because maybe she was cold and her attitude towards me is unbearable. She would not lower herself to be like this.
Her company had a lot of alliances. She had a company almost all over the world. She was one of the most successful businesswomen in the world. And she is also one of the youngest. Her parents leaves her a lot of fortune that could she spend the rest of her life, even though she didn't gonna work.
"Could you explain to me about this case?" I asked Rod.
Since he is been working in this organization for a long time. Maybe his superiors had already discussed with him this mission.
"I read a couple of sentences. It says here that a woman had been covering her large human trafficking by her company. The company was known as the RCC or also known as Rivera Corporation Company. It is one of the most successful businesses in the country and also in other countries. I still haven't read her name but, that was the case, " Rod explained.
So he still didn't know that it was Amelia Rivera-Smith?
My wife?
I wish they didn't put there that Amelia was my wife. I didn't want them to know that my wife is a criminal. Which she is not.
I know Amelia more than they do.
She may have a hard time. But she would never do cruel things to people.
"Where did the organization know about this case?" I asked.
I just wanted to know!
Because all of the cases were tracked down by our organization, or it would be handed down by the pulis, because they are having a hard time doing the case, they would give it to us.
"It is just a tip by someone. So I think it needed to be re-investigated. Since the proof is a bit lacking, it needed to find more evidence and proof, " Rod explained.
He was truly the evidence that led to the crime of my wife is lacking. There seems a bit suspicious in here. That is why I needed to find out the bottom of this and know the real suspect.
I didn't want to kill my wife!
I also don't want that I am the one that gonna end her life...
She was the most precious thing that happened to me...
"Get a copy of this and explore the more thoroughly about the evidence. Gave me every single detail that you found suspicious. We needed to get to the bottom of this. Because as you said a bit is lacking proof, so we needed to investigate it again. We can not let an innocent woman die, because of false accusations, " I told him.
He nodded at him as he listen.
Because I am telling the truth we can not let an innocent woman die. Because of the false accusation.
I opened and read the portfolio. I didn't say that Amelia was my wife. But I know sooner or later Rod would know it. It would just be a bit awkward since I am investigating the case of my wife.
"I would help you as long as I can, " he answered.
I wish I could trust him, with every bit of information that we could know. Since he is a man of this organization, it would be dangerous for me to trust anyone so fast.
It is between the life or death of the woman that I loved...
I could not bear to lose her. Because of the single mistake that I would make. I could not see her die in my hands. I could not resist but blame myself if that happens.
Losing her would be the last thing that could hurt me...
"Did you already know?" I asked Rod.
I didn't have to hide from him, about my wife. Since he would also read it to the files that were presented by our organization. And he would find out about it because everything around me would be spread like wildfire.
"I know that your wife is Amelia Rivera-Smith. I know everything, even before you worked with her. I once worked with Blaike. He let go of Amelia just for you, " he politely answered.
Does he let go?
So it means Blaike still loves Amelia that time?
I know that but, I didn't expect that I could hurt someone by loving the person I love.
"You were the one that they are talking about, that worked with Blaike before he left the organization, " I stated. "I wish you would not look at me with disgrace with those eyes of yours. I was the one that they assigned to work with my wife's case. Even I didn't want to do it, I had no choice, " I added.
He smiled at me.
"No worries! I understand. She was your wife after all. She was your world and everything. You are doing the right thing by proving her innocence. Because I know Amelia is not like this too, it is what Blaike told me. And I believed that" he answered.
I just had a sigh of relief knowing that he would be okay. Because I didn't want to have an awkward environment between us.
I wanted to focus on my wife's case. Because it is one of the ways that could save her.
"Thank you!" I thanked him.
"What did the organization do to pursue you?" He asked me.
I took a deep breath before answering.
"They threaten me to kill my wife in front of me..."
