Honey And Toxins (Not a Common Contract)
Chapter 45: Three seconds

Suite room 1003, the striped-nose man was entangled by Irene's trap. He rang the bell, and Irene opened the door.

"I made you wait?" the man said, he went straight in and approached Irene.

Irene undid her robe, leaving a bright red dress that accentuated her makeup sexiness.

"I want to make sure of one thing before we play." Tempted Irene with the blink of her eyes.

"What's that..?" sahut the striped-nose man.

"Why are you here when you have a wife and children? Is your wife not attractive anymore?"

"What..?" The man looked surprised, from where did Irene know that she had a family? During this time he always messed with women using the status of single men.

Irene smiled, she played her knife behind her back. Either to heaven or hell, he was desperate to wipe such a man off the face of the earth.

When Ammar goes to the office, Nara carries out her mission. Namely knowing the contents of the room with a large door that is underground. He already holds the duplicate key created by Sam.

To take a sample of the key yesterday he deg-degan half dead. Now it feels like Nara's heart is rebelling from behind a rib.

"What are you hiding here." murmured. He grabbed a large padlock that was coiled on the door lever. Open it slowly.

After the padlock opened, Nara pushed the big door with all her might. A wet and rancid smell grazed his nose, it was a very strong smell from inside there.

Nara turned on the flashlight on her phone, she didn't know where the light switch was. His right hand was on guard with an electric shock device.

Nara's steps came to a halt when she saw some clothes hanging with splashes of blood. Knives were also lined up there. Nara's entire body instantly trembled in cold heat. What did he see that?

He recorded the whole room, shaking hands he grabbed one of the knives and smelled the blood there. The smell of real blood.

"Who are you really..?" whispered Nara was terrified.

When turning around, without realizing it Nara's camera caught scissors hanging on a wall. He dropped his phone when he recognized the scissors was very familiar.

"No. no way." he tried to pick up his dropped phone. Then look at the scissors again. It hangs right on top of the photo of his wedding to Ammar.

Nara was crying so much, her breathing felt tight until she almost lost consciousness. He looked scared. He confirmed Sam's suspicions against Ammar and Irene. How could he be deceived, trapped and devoured by two demons wearing the mask of a helper angel.

"So this is your plan..? You guys killed Grandma on purpose and framed me?" his sobs are unceasing. Her crying echoed in the room.

After calming down, he braced his legs to step out from there. He had to tell Sam this. Only those Detectives might be able to save him from this devil trap.

...~~...

Brakk...!

Nara opened Sam's office door very strongly. He ran straight to Sam's desk with frightened red eyes running all over him.

"Nara..? What's up?" Sam stood up and approached Nara. Seeing Nara's messy condition made her very worried.

"My fingers are with a gun..." He stared expectantly, as if asking Sam to protect him.

Sam looked down, looking at the face of the poor woman.

"What's wrong? Did they do anything to you?"

Sam picks up Nara's phone, then calls Sandra and Galih to see the tape through the computer.

While Nara sat on the chair while crying hugging her knees. Why should he? Why should it be Grandma?

On the sidelines they were watching the video carefully, suddenly the news of the murder reappeared on television.

"News this afternoon, the murder took place again at the Mutiara hotel . The victim had three stab wounds and was confirmed to be the serial killer. This time the hotel CCTV managed to catch a woman who came out of room 1003 at 00:30 p.m. The police are still investigating the perpetrator and....."

The news sidelines made the heads of the three of them directly move towards the television. Including Nara who stopped her crying.

"Irene...?" murmured Nara when she saw the CCTV footage of the hotel being aired. Although it was only a few seconds and not very clear, Nara was sure it was Irene. He recognized the brown leather coat. He saw Irene wearing it last night while leaving the house. Her height and gait are also very attached to Nara's memory.

"You sure it's Irene?" Sam approached Nara who was sculpting. He could not even see clearly the face of the perpetrator, how could Nara immediately recognize the perpetrator from a 3-second video cut.

"He bought me the same coat when he came home from Japan." Nara began to think, did Irene accidentally show herself on CCTV and scapegoat her again?

Nara immediately opened her social media. He once posted a photo of himself wearing that coat.

"What are you doing?" sam asked when he saw Nara about to delete the photo.

"They're going to frame me again Sam, I need to get rid of this immediately."

"Don't..! Some people will remember that if you delete this photo now the public will only get more suspicious." As the wife of a conglomerate, Nara's social media following soared, especially when she was proclaimed a murderer and released. Sam doesn't want Nara to backfire later.

Also in Sam's memory, maybe this is what Ammar meant yesterday when he handed over his Grandma Nara's old-age security book. If so, it means that indirectly Ammar really wants to protect Nara. Then what is all this? Sam was made to run out of sense thinking about all this.

"Then what should I do...?" A myriad of uneasiness was clearly depicted in Nara's eyes.

"Would I teach you how to use a gun now?" Sam invites Nara to an impromptu course. He devised a plan for how to keep Nara safe. Although the evidence already exists, they cannot be rash.

For years the killer could have escaped easily. They need a powerful tactic to take down the psychopath.

At home at 16:00....

After a day of searching, Ammar finally managed to bring Irene home. He saw the news today. And I deeply regret what Irene did.

"How many times have I said, don't be careless! You see? Now the public is in an uproar because you've been caught on CCTV..."

"Doing something without a plan, you think I'm that kind of person?" sahut Irene truncates Ammar's words. He raised one eyebrow with a very distinctive sly smile.

Ammar was furious, he squeezed both of Irene's shoulders while hardening his jaw. "What else are you planning this time?"

Irene kept smiling, instead of dismissing it, and she embraced Ammar's neck very gently. "I'll kill Damar tonight." he whispered. He really can no longer bear to hide as the firstborn of the Leader. She wanted to show herself that she was Ammar's wife.

At the same time, Sandra drove Nara home to get a marriage contract. That would be very useful as evidence that Nara was just being used.

Sandra stands guard in the car, she will call Nara when Ammar or Irene come home. Nara walks into the house with a gun in her dress pocket. He saw there was no Ammar car in front, he was very sure that Ammar or Irene had not returned.
