Chapter 281: Hector's Cruelty
"Isabella, I need you to contact Hector. I assigned him to manage Tony's gang on your behalf. Ask him to bring Marina's property papers to me. They should still be with Tony."
Isabella acknowledged the request, and I ended the call, my mind already racing with the next steps. I also transferred $100 million into Marina's grandmother's account to ensure she wouldn't have to worry about anything financially.
About an hour later, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to find Hector standing there, a manila envelope in his hand. He bowed respectfully and said, "Boss, I have something for you."
I stepped aside to let him in, my expression serious. "What is it, Hector?"
He handed me the envelope, which contained Marina's property papers. "Here are the documents you requested, boss. But there's something else you should know."
I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.
Hector glanced around nervously before speaking. "There's a policewoman asking around about Tony. She's also been asking about you, showing your photo to some of our guys. She's picked up a few of our gang members for questioning."
I nodded, a smirk playing on my lips. Sarah must have found out about me, but she wouldn't find any evidence linking me to Tony's crimes. I had made sure of that.
"Don't worry about her," I said to Hector. "She's my woman. Don't try to hurt her, and don't tell her anything. Let her figure things out on her own."
Hector nodded, understanding my instructions. I continued, "Now, what happened to Tony?"
A cruel smile spread across Hector's face. "As per your instructions, boss, we found all of Tony's hidden accounts and overseas businesses. After... persuading him to give up the information, we took care of him. He won't be bothering anyone anymore."
I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to elaborate.
Hector chuckled darkly. "Let's just say, the dogs in the area had a good meal."
I nodded, satisfied with the outcome. "Good. And the details of his accounts and businesses?"
"Already transferred to Miss Isabella, boss," Hector said, his tone more respectful when mentioning Isabella.
"Excellent. Keep up the good work, Hector. Now, go and make sure everything is running smoothly."
Hector bowed again before taking his leave. I watched him go, a sense of satisfaction washing over me. Things were falling into place nicely.
I turned back to Marina, who was watching me with a curious expression. "Everything okay, Jack?"
I handed the envelope to Marina, who took it with a curious smile. "What is it?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she opened the envelope.
As she pulled out the documents and realized they were her property papers, her expression shifted from curiosity to disbelief and then to overwhelming gratitude. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at me, her voice filled with emotion.
"Jack... these are my property papers," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "How did you...?"
I smiled softly, reaching out to gently wipe away a tear that had escaped and was rolling down her cheek. "I made a promise to take care of you, Marina. And that includes making sure you have everything you need to feel secure and happy."
She looked at me, her eyes filled with love and gratitude. "You did this for me?"
I nodded, my voice filled with sincerity. "Of course, I did. I want you to know that you're safe, that your future is secure. And this is just the beginning, Marina. We're going to build a life together, and I want you to know that I'll always be here to support you, to protect you, and to love you."
Marina's eyes filled with tears again, but this time, they were tears of joy and love. She threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly as she pressed her lips to mine in a passionate, heartfelt kiss. I could feel the love and gratitude pouring out of her, and I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close as I deepened the kiss.
When we finally broke apart, Marina looked up at me, her eyes shining with love. "Thank you, Jack. I love you so much. You've given me more than I ever could have imagined, and I can't wait to start our new life together."
I smiled down at her, my heart filled with love and happiness. "I love you too, Marina. And I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Together, we can face anything."
Marina grinned up at me, her eyes sparkling with mischief and excitement. "Together," she agreed.
I sat down and watched Marina as she busily packed her belongings, a sense of contentment washing over me. I closed my eyes briefly and accessed the SUDIX system, making a few quick purchases. With a thought, I summoned two robot maids, their forms materializing in the room.
Marina gasped in surprise as she saw the two figures appear out of thin air. She turned to me, her eyes wide with shock and curiosity. "Jack, what... who are they?"
I smiled at her, standing up to introduce the new arrivals. "Marina, meet Ada and Eva. They're here to help take care of your grandmother. They're like our shadow guards, but their purpose is to assist and support her in any way she needs."
Marina looked at the robot maids, her expression a mix of awe and gratitude. "You did this for Grandma?"
I nodded, taking her hand in mine. "I want to make sure she's taken care of, Marina. I don't want you to worry about her when we're not here. Ada and Eva will make sure she has everything she needs."
Marina's eyes filled with tears of happiness. She knew I was incredibly wealthy, but seeing me use my resources to care for her grandmother touched her deeply. "Jack, I... I don't know what to say. Thank you so much."
I pulled her into a gentle embrace, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "You don't have to say anything, Marina. I want to do this for you, for her. And speaking of which," I added, pulling back slightly to look into her eyes. "I've also transferred $100 million into your grandmother's account. That way, she won't have to worry about anything financially."
Marina's eyes widened in disbelief. "Jack, that's... that's too much. You didn't have to do that."
What do you think?
