BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234 - Kareem Williams
Next day.
Roger\'s place.
Scrunching his brows, Roger inquired, "What do you mean by he won\'t be coming back?"
"Your father said that it isn\'t safe for him to come back here right now, there are many things going on which he has to take care of before he steps into the country again," Latif answered.
Pursing his lips, he scoffed, "What is he talking about? I am the one who has a major thing with Yichan but here I am still staying in the country for months now and doesn\'t he know that Angela\'s death anniversary is coming soon? Is he not going to come back for that as well?"
When Latif did not say anything, Roger narrowed his eyes, "Why do I feel like you know something that I don\'t Latif?"
Gulping in nervousness, he contemplated for a while before answering, "I-I don\'t know anything young master."
Without saying anything, Roger got up and slowly made his way towards him. "You do know that you can\'t lie to me, right?" Without waiting for his reply, he added, "You are well aware of the consequences of lying to me."
"I—"
Cutting him off, Roger snarled, "I want only the truth and nothing else."
Keep quiet for quite some time, Latif answered, "Master is up to something these days."
"What do you mean? Be more precise Latif, I know that you know more," Roger frowned.
Gulping in nervousness, he answered, "He is looking for the other young master."
"Lucas?" When he nodded his head, Roger frowned, "Why is he looking for him?"
Vigorously shaking his head, he continued, "I don\'t know but he has asked me not to tell you about it." Without waiting for his reply, Latif stuttered, "H-He is sending men to kill him."
"What? But why?"
"I don\'t know, it\'s very complicated and hard to understand." Pausing for a while, he added, "It is related to something that happened in the past."
Slumping on the couch, Roger frowned, "Why would he want to kill Lucas?" No matter how hard he tried to think about the reason behind his father\'s actions, the more muddle headed he felt. He had no idea why his father would want to kill Lucas, it did not make sense but he still couldn\'t ignore the information that had come from Latif.
Though Latif was appointed by his father to stay with him all the time, Latif still had each and every information and knew what was exactly happening in his father\'s side. If Latif was claiming that his father was into something, there was a very high chance of that thing happening for real.
"I don\'t know young master but whatever it is, you shouldn\'t get involved in this." Though Latif wasn\'t supposed to tell Roger about his father\'s activities, he still couldn\'t stop himself from giving him a very vital piece of information which he wasn\'t supposed to know.
Roger\'s father, Kareem William had hired Latif to keep a eye on his elder son and to make sure that he doesn\'t do anything stupid which would interrupt or in between Kareem\'s plans. Latif was supposed to tell his master about Rogers each and every movement without fail but it had been a few months since he had started hiding Rogers activity and keeping it under the wraps. He had no intention of going against his master, he just wanted to make sure that Roger never gets into trouble.
After spending so many years by Roger\'s side, Latif had realized that he wasn\'t as cruel and hard hearted as he claimed himself to be. In fact, he was lonely and without friends which made him feel very vulnerable at times but he was too egoistic to admit it.
Latif also knew everything that had happened between Roger, Mo Yichan and the other members of the group but despite knowing everything, he chose to stay silent because he was ordered not to say anything related to the incident that happened years ago. Though Latif was forbidden to say anything, he still indirectly advised Roger not to do things which he would regret later. He also purposely jeopardized Roger\'s plans but there was a limit to what he could do.
"We need to tell Lucas about it." Without wasting any more time, Roger got up and instructed Latif, "Get the car ready, we need to leave."
Latif widened his eyes in shock and snapped, "No you can\'t go to Lucas\'s place." When Roger frowned, he further explained, "You need to understand that if your father is after his life then there are men watching him all the time and if you are seen with him at this time, things will get complicated."
"Then what should I do? Just sit back and watch them kill him?" Roger snapped.
"But I thought that you did not care for him," Latif retorted.
Pursing his lips, he answered, "Yes I don\'t care for him but that doesn\'t mean I want him dead." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "No matter what and how, Lucas is still my half brother and I don\'t want my brother to get killed by our father."
"So you do care for him," Latif smiled.
Gritting his teeth, Roger grunted, "No I don\'t, will you please stop smiling and tell me what we can do?"
"Maybe we can tell someone who is close to him," he suggested.
Thinking for a while, Roger snapped his finger, "Ning, she is Lucas\'s friend and I know that they are quite close these days. We can tell Ning about it and she will definitely warn him."
"But how will we contact Ms Yang? Mo Yichan has made sure that we don\'t get to her by any way," Latif informed.
"Hmm there has to be a way—" Thinking for a while, he inquired, "What is Ning\'s schedule for today? Find out if she is going somewhere."
Latif nodded his head and quickly made a few phone calls.
While Latif was busy doing his thing, Roger kept pacing back and forth impatiently. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn\'t stop thinking about Lucas.
"Ms Yang is going out for shopping with her friends this afternoon but—"
"But what?"
Scratching his head, Latif answered, "Ms Yuri will be with them too."
Gritting his teeth, Roger grunted. He hated Yuri from his gut and he also knew that she wasn\'t that fond of him either but he had no other choice, he had to meet Ning and talk to her no matter how difficult it seemed.
….
Misou Island.
"Girl, you need to chill," Kiara chuckled.
"Chill? How can I chill when that guy keeps molesting my computer whenever he feels like?" Gritting her teeth, Elizabeth snapped, "I am telling you, if I meet him I will—"
Cutting her off, Kiara added, "Punch him with your lips?" When Elizabeth gave her a weird look, she shrugged her shoulders. "What? I heard that he is super cute and handsome."
"As if I care," she retorted before storming out of the room.
"Liza wait—" Kiara stopped midway when her phone buzzed. She frowned when she saw a text from an unknown number.
[Unknown: I found you, it wasn\'t very easy but I did]
Raising her brows, she quickly replied:
[Kiara: Who is this?]
[Unknown: You forgot me already? That is sad]
Thinning it was some kind of a prank, she was about to block the number when she received another message.
[Unknown: You don\'t remember me but I hope you at least remember the kiss that we shared]
When she realized who it was, she widened her eyes in shock and quickly turned off her phone and tossed it on the bed before rushing out of the room.
She clearly remembered the kiss and the handsome man she had shared the kiss with but she was not allowed to stay in touch with anyone from the other group. In fact, they weren\'t even allowed to talk to them let alone kissing or making out. She also had no idea how he had managed to get her number. Thinking that it was Jason who had helped Linhou, Kiara rushed out of the room to tell Elizabeth about it.
….
Ning and Yichan\'s place.
"Really honey, it\'s a Sunday," Yichan complained.
"We had planned this shopping trip a long time back honey so we cannot cancel it now."
"But it\'s a Sunday, we are supposed to spend time together," he frowned.
Helplessly shaking her head, she chuckled, \'We spend time almost everyday."
"But Sunday is special," he retorted.
"How is it special?"
Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "I don\'t know, it is special because it is Sunday and I don\'t work today."
Fixing her hair, she chuckled, "When was the last time you worked when we were together?"
"Don\'t try to divert my attention towards something else, it\'s a Sunday and you are leaving your husband all sad and angry. I will not eat or drink anything until I get justice."
