Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Phoenix!?

Two days passed in utmost peace with no one to disturb any party.

Jennifer was resting from time to time to make sure her pregnancy went out smoothly. On the other hand, Javier was engaged in the mystery to find out about the killer.

Currently, Javier was sitting at his desk and going through some old pictures. A frown emerged on his brows while his eyes were focused on the screen in front of his eyes.

He saw all the pictures with utmost seriousness and there was no single sound from his side.

But suddenly, Javier felt a soft hand tracing his neck from behind, “Jennifer, it’s late.”

“That’s what I’m saying. You should sleep. Don’t you have work to do at the office too?” Jenifer was worried.

Since the moment he took over the responsibility, he has had company to manage left behind by his mother. To leave the underworld, he had to make a profit and come clean. He is going to be a father and wishes to live a normal life.

.....

For that, he decided that he would take over the position of Chairman and CEO very soon. But before that, he needed to complete a few tasks.

“I will sleep, give me a few more hours.” Javier replied softly but Jenifer was hardly moved, “You said this two hours ago also. It’s already time, Javier.”

“Just one hour more.” was all he said and Jenifer’s lips pressed into a straight line.

Her eyes looked at him and then traced to see the files that were placed on the study table, “Javier, I was thinking about something.” She gained his attention and Javier nodded.

“What about if I assist you in the company too? I want to do something as well. I’m already good and I can help you to lift your work..” She was always ambitious and this isn’t any unknown fact in his eyes.

Javier simply agreed without any issue, “Done. After you give birth, you can help me. But before that, we need to make sure your body is healthy so that there is no problem when you give birth.” Javier addressed and Jennifer happily agreed.

She planted a kiss on his cheek and returned to the bedroom without disturbing Javier anymore.

At the same time, when the door was closed by Jennifer behind her, his smiling face fell and was converted into one which held no more emotions in them.

There was a strict transformation from the loving husband to the most dangerous blood-headed person to deal with.

His eyes wandered around to see that he was again alone in the room and this made his eyes turn chiller than the mountain. Without wasting any time, Javier picked up his phone from the other side of the table and dialed a number.

“Two days are up. If you are calling me right now, then it means that you have found something..” Charles’s voice from the other hand pushed Javier’s lips to press into a straight line. “Not something. I have the entire tale now.”

“Let’s meet.”

“Not right now.” Javier bluntly declined and this caused some silence between the brothers. Neither of them spoke but it appeared their silence was talking to themselves.

“Fine, as per you.”

Charles ended up speaking and hung up the call. Javier put the phone down to stare at it for a few seconds before sliding it into his pocket. He closed the laptop before and walked out of his study room to where Jennifer was currently resting.

Coming and sliding under the warm blankets, he hugged Jennifer from behind, and subconsciously, the sleepy Jennifer used his hand to bring it closer to her heart, “Uhm...Javier...”

“Hmm. I’m here. Sleep now.” was all he spoke without turning his emotions back. Unfortunately, Jennifer was already unknown to the thunder surrounding his heart.

His current state was absolutely different than his usual calm self.

But he didn’t let his wife get the hint to do the same. Getting her tensed would be the last thing on his bucket list. The night went on to be deep and within half an hour, Javier could feel Jennifer’s deep breathing.

She was already in deep lumber, unlike him, who was finding no peace anymore left in his mind.

Right now, Javier’s eyes were stagnant on his wife and he took no time to slip out from the blankets and bed. He tugged Jennifer with the rest of the blanket to make sure she doesn’t get cold.

While bringing his phone out, he dialed a number and took the last peak of his wife sleeping from outside the room before closing the door behind him and getting out of his apartment to come and see his brother’s car parked below his building.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Javier’s icy cold layers saw it from its balcony and he took no time to come downstairs to face his brother. Charles was standing against a car, smoking in the middle of the night.

“Didn’t you quit smoking from the time your children arrived?” Javier couldn’t help but ask as a frown curved on his forehead. “I did. But sometimes..it’s an exception. I was curious about what you found out.”

“Are you sure? I thought you were getting emotional after recalling our mother.” Javier’s sentence caused Charles to pass his younger brother a cold glare.

Sure enough, Javier didn’t react.

But then, he did order, “Put that away from you. I have to go back to my wife as well. If she gets to smell this, I will be in trouble. Especially since she is pregnant, her organs are getting sensitive to everything.”

At Javier’s request, Charles stared back at his cigarette before putting it away and throwing it in the bin. “Alright. Now, tell me what have you found in your hand.” Charles asked.

This time, Javier tilted his eyes as the cold glimmer passed through his eyes. His aura took a thirty-degree turn and it didn’t show his happiness either. “That footage...showed me a plate number of the car. I saw it but found it to be fake but then, there I saw code word.”

“When I was abroad, I heard about this. However, I never understood why they would kill mom. The organization is Phoenix, one of the largest killer organizations. They operate in the underworld as well but their hands are still tied in the underworld.”

Javier told him honestly and a frown couldn’t help but find traces on Charles’s face as well. His curiosity didn’t digest the bust in this way. An organization?

“Is Shawn Johnson related to them?” Charles couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t trust his father.

Will his father get their mother killed? He still holds suspicion about him.

However, Javier shook his head. “No.” was all he said and Charles sighed in relief. At least this isn’t with their father, otherwise, he would have gone to their base this instant and kill him with his own hands.

But then again, Charles wasn’t done, “Then what about...Shirley? Is she related to them?”
