The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

From the corner of my eyes, I could see the cops scurrying back to their cars in a hopeless attempt to catch me. I had to make this look good, I wouldn’t want them to think that I have other plans. If I just drove right through the barriers and plunge into the river, they would know that something is up, their curiosity would be aroused and they would start searching for me immediately. I have to make it look like an accident, I can’t let them know that it’s premeditated. If they suspect any foul play, they could dive in after me and that would ruin my plans completely. Besides, I can’t stay underwater for too long and I don’t have an oxygen mask with me in this car. 

No, wait…

Actually, I do. I mean, I don’t have it right now, but I can get it straight away with no hassle. I’ve got a friend in the special forces, his name is Cole and they have a sub somewhere around here, I don’t know if they are on a mission right now, but I could get him to send someone to come get me here in a few minutes, he did owe me a favor, I’m sure he would not refuse me. I picked up the phone and dialed his number immediately. I wished I have thought about this a bit sooner, this would be an impromptu request and I know he is not prepared for this, but I’m sure that he would help me anyway. Although telling him sooner would have been better because he would have been better prepared for anything that would come up afterward. But I’ll make do with anything he can come up with, there is no turning back now, I’m already on the mission already.

I spoke to him for some minutes, briefing him on my mission and my plans to get them off our back. I thought he was going to nag at me about my timing, but he didn’t. Actually, he said he has been so bored for the last few days and he has been looking for action. He agreed to come to get me himself and we agreed on the exact spot where he would be waiting for me. He would be underwater waiting with a scuba set for me, I just have to get to his exact location, then he’ll get me out of there. He ended the call, a little bit too excited about helping me. He must have been so bored, he just can’t wait to get into action, u just hope he doesn’t ruin this mission for me.

I kept checking the rearview mirror as I drove, keeping track of my pursuers. Then I slowed down a bit, pulling out my gun and shooting at the SUVs that are driving toward me behind the cop cars. Seeing them driving so seriously, following the cops So closely I’m forced to believe that they have some good connection with the feds, that provided them with some fake ID that they used to pose as FBI agents, or maybe they had somehow managed and gotten it themselves. With these guys, I just can’t tell how they get things done, but in the end, they always deliver to their bosses. I’m going to make them fail, this time around. Hillary would be the first target to escape from their claws, I’ll make sure of that. 

I’m deliberately provoking them to fire back at me. I aimed at the driver's side, firing a series of shots at the driver, but it never went through because the cars were bulletproof.  They kept coming at me, trying to catch up with me, shooting back at me. I pretended to be hit, then I swerved my car out of the right lane, acting likewise been hit, pretending that my car is out of control. I kept veering the car to the left and right, stepping on the break, making it look like I’m trying to stop the car. I was buying some time, waiting for Cole to get into position. 

After a few minutes of driving around like a freaking Lunatic, I got the signal from Cole, so I stepped on the gas pedal, turning immediately to face the barriers by the side, I took out a grenade from my bag pack, keeping bit handy, then I rammed into the Barriers, making it look like I lost control of the car. The car went overboard, diving deep into the deep blue sea. I kicked the door open and got out of the car, swimming towards the glittering light that wasn’t too far from my present location. When I got a bit closer to him, I pulled out the pin and threw the grenade towards the car, then I swam faster towards Cole. He swarm forward also, then he pulled me along with him, dragging me further from the wrecked car, sharing his oxygen mask with me until we got far away from the car. We watched as the grenade went off and the car was blown into bits and pieces, the shock waves taking us back. I smile widely as he led the way, leading me out of the water, taking me to their sub. There is no way they can find any evidence in that wreckage, no way at all.

He took me back to the sub, I got into the sub with him and I was taken to another location that is far from the crash site, then I got off the ship, hiding from every camera as I went to get a car. I went back to the hotel to gather all our belongings. We are getting out of this place before they find out that I faked our death. I got all our belongings packed and I moved them into the car I just bought with Hillary’s credit card that Nathan had given to her. After packing everything that we need, I left the room, taking the secret staircase down to the garage, trying to avoid the cameras. I heard the intercom ringing in the room as I left, but I ignored it completely. For all I know, it could be a trap, Ariels thugs could be trying to see if anyone of us is still alive. I have to be extremely careful so I don’t get caught this time. I got the things into the car so quickly, as I drove out of the garage, I spotted Hillary's best friend, Avril, standing in the lobby, asking questions. I had personally taken her out of this country to save her life, I risked a lot just to protect her, what the hell is she doing back here?
