The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
LOVE ME OR KILLME Part 63. The Risk for a Question 4
"Come, let me see."
"Go away, you're so happy to play people." I grimaced in pain.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, how many times I told you that. Let me see if your wounds are open or not, if we open up to the doctor now, don't be stubborn!" Now he's raising his tone to me.
"I hate you..."
"I knew. Don't you tell me I know. Let me see your wound..."
I had to let him take off my t-shirt. Leaving me with only my br* sport. She opened the bandage that was stuck to my shoulder like she was used to it.
"Not open, but interested, you're fine. Let me change the bandages." His actions made me feel like he was serious about what he said he would protect me. He worked his bandages out of the medicine bag next to my bedside table in silence. Not trying to talk to me anymore.
"Why? Why don't you just get rid of me." He looked at me and smiled at my question.
"Let's see, at first I thought you were a good girl. You worked hard to prove yourself in a way that wasn't easy, I might feel sorry for you, you also did some things for me. You're beautiful, smart, too kind, even if you're a little cunning, too, but you shouldn't be trapping yourself here with me. But because you're here... All you have to do is obey me. Don't go against me, follow my orders, you don't commit any crime, I guarantee you can even go back to the agency if you obey me.."
Don't I have a way out now? Do I have to say it? He can keep me in the agency? Is he serious about his words.
"You can keep me in the agency?"
"We are in one system. My boss has power over that system. Act normal. You just have to obey me. Besides your boss left you with me, what else can you do..."
I don't know if I can trust him, but like he said, now I have a choice. He must be a government guy like me. He's a businessman, he's got elite bodyguards, his gangster friends from all over the world. He even promised to maintain my status in the agency, what choice do I have now.
"My real name is Kate Heatherton..." I said it without looking at him. It feels insulted to have to dismantle my disguise.
"Kate Heatherton, I'll check your name first. I still like to call you Nathalie. Where do your parents live?"
"You want to use my family to threaten me? You better kill me, don't involve my family. Don't you have any honor." I saw him with anger.
"That's grumpy, who involved your family. I'm just asking you..." Nathan answered me calmly.
"Brooklyn's Dad, San Francisco's mom."
"Ohh it turns out your father is still alive, you live with Mom or Dad? Your parents are divorced?"
"It must be heavy..." I'm not answering it now. "But everything you've been through isn't it, look at you now, being an FBI agent, it's not easy."
I didn't answer.
"Done, ..." He even helped me wear my shirt now. Why is he so sweet, is this part of his plan to get my boss's name. "You need to get ready for the police station, get your business done. If you need help tell me."
"You're not asking who's my boss?"
"Say me when you're ready." I want to negotiate the terms.
"Say if I'm ready?" What does it really mean. Nathan smiled at me.
"What do you think of me, Nathalie? Try telling me..."
"You run a huge stealth fund, laundered a lot of people's money, but if you're also connected to the system, it means you."
"That's not wrong. But that's just to label me a criminal. I did a lot more important things with that. And the one who told you to just think about the amount of money I'm holding..."
"Then what are you really doing..."
"I can't tell you, dear Nathalie. Your boss and the people behind him can only fumble about me, but they don't know who's behind me, how I operate, you're just installed as a watchdog here, without success, I can finish them at any time, once I know your boss' name I can finish this from the inside, no one dares to mess with my boss and I just need to know who is trying to be nosy. But if you want to say it now, can you? But you don't seem to believe me yet?"
I feel like I'm totally in control of the game.
"You don't know Kate ... Never mind, don't think about it too much. For now I don't think there's any danger to you, ... Finish your business, stay Natalie. I'm gonna go." He touched my hair. Tidying it up and for a moment surprised me. "You don't want to see Ailes who's been arrested by my men?"
"No..."
"Alright, I'll send it to LA directly." He left me just like that then.
I sat quietly in my bed. Can't believe what I've been through today. He just needs to threaten me to get what he wants.
He didn't even make me say who my boss was. He's too confident my boss can't touch him.
