The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
LOVE ME OR KILLME Part 84. Daniel Heatherton 1's
"What do you want?" I don't want to talk to this Callaway.
"Miss what if we talk a little bit over lunch."
"I'm busy. I'm not gonna pretend I want to work with you guys. There is no cooperation whatsoever. I won't say anything that will lighten your son." I walked leaving him.
"We'll pay the price Miss deserves." His mother followed me, no apology. The rich think money can solve everything.
"Your money doesn't mean Madam." I quickly left him.
"Wait a minute I'll give you her a million..." Two million! So he values my life by two million, outrageous. Trying to lose my life was only fined two million.
"So my life only means two million." They looked at each other as I squinted my eyes and asked back their questions.
"That's your salary for almost ten years Miss. You're so arrogant..." I was immediately provoked by his words.
"That's my salary for ten years. If I die for what it is. Do you think your money can justify your son's actions. Even apologize and regret you guys don't. You think your wealth gives you the right to justify your son's actions. What if this is me, maybe you have hundreds of millions in your accounts, tomorrow I'll hire a killer to finish you both off... What do you guys make money for? Locked up your coffins maybe?"
These rich people sometimes have no logic and lose their conscience.
"If you don't help us. You'll regret it, without your help Tyson can deny ...." It was his father's turn who threatened me.
"We'll see who's sorry Mr. Callaway..." I left them with anger. Either Tyson or his parents they don't regret or apologize in the least.
"You're threatened again Miss..." Josh asked me as he followed me out of the lobby.
"He wants to pay me two million. Take it easy it's just a nonsense threat, he won't dare to do anything with the current conditions. It'll only complicate his son's trial."
"I will still report to Mr. Nathan you were threatened by them. The rich sometimes suck."
I'll ignore it I think it's just a reaction of anger and despair.

I visited my father this afternoon, after returning from I thought about it a while ago. A mini market in this Brooklyn suburb is his, he lives on it. Sometimes he likes to be at the cashier's table greeting his own customers.
Actually he's quite friendly. I see him now, he's wearing his shop uniform.
"Dad, how are you?" He smiled at me.
"Ahh Kate, I'm fine. In the afternoon you can stop by here. You're on holiday..." She hugged me briefly, a few years after Mom's departure she seemed devastated. But then he was able to rise again until now. When I was in high school he sent me to boarding school,
He just bought a second franchise in another part of Brooklyn. It seems that the profits are quite decent and the financial condition is quite good. At the age of 60, he was quite healthy.
"Let's go upstairs, you've eaten, we can order something or we can eat out."
"Here you go, you're at work..."
"What's wrong, there are employees who can wait for him. Dad was just happy to be able to talk to people, observing people was actually a pleasure. Let's go to your favorite good restaurant. Wait a minute let's go upstairs and change clothes for a minute."
I followed him up. The house looks neat, he lives well here. Back when he was depressed, our house was a mess and there were sad months where I had to find my own food with the money he gave me. She quit her job when Mom left and settled in NY, somehow she still had a lot of savings at the time. I think he realized that it also made me depressed back then, and he felt it was better to send me to the dorm.
"You're back in NY, you worked in LA, didn't you?" He asked me when we were sitting in an Italian restaurant he knew I liked.
"Yes, I'm taking a short leave of absence. Oh yeah, now that I'm head of the unit, I'll rarely work in the field anymore, usually I'm undercover sometimes." Now I dare say it.
"You know yesterday I was almost taken to Russia..." I'm laughing now. "It's okay..." At that time I was wondering if I would ever see Dad again if I was downstairs to Russia, I haven't said I'm grateful to him to stay with me. Our relationship was never too close, I thought I should fix our relationship. Now I have a chance to do it.
"What?! Russia?!" His face immediately worried, "How can you get involved with Russia? Tell me..."
"Dad's been through..."
"You have to tell stories. Everything's..." Suddenly the situation became serious. "I want to hear everything. Who's after you, why is he after you?"
"Dad, there's nothing you need to worry about everything being overcome." I shouldn't have mentioned it. I feel like I'm worrying him right now.
"You should tell me... The Russians won't just let you go. Why are you being chased as a target." He forced me, but his words made me ask.
"Dad, you seem to know the nature of Russian spies only, indeed you've been involved with them." I laugh.
"Let's just say, now tell me everything so clearly." Now I'm silent. A thought flashed through my head.
"Dad you a secret agent? Why do you say you know their nature, you scare me." He just laughed.
"I just want to know the story, tell me what happened. Don't think about it, does your dad look like a cop. I'm your father, I want to know what happened, I've outlived you..." Actually I don't know what the job is, Mom just said she's marketing overseas. So I assume that, he does sometimes work until months we don't meet.
"All right, this is what happened..." I told him everything.
"What's her name? Arthur Kulkov, Koyla, Callaway..." He's quiet in his place. Thinking something. I was suspicious of his reaction.
"Dad, do you know anything about them..."
"No, how do I know about that...Maybe some of my friends know, I have some Russian friends." He shrugged his shoulders. Did ya? Actually, come to think of it, I never knew of any of Dad's friends. Why he knows Russians.
He sighed. "So all your duties are beyond that disguise. That's dangerous, why they're assigning women..." He just found out the truth.
"Because I'm beautiful Dad, no one suspects a beautiful woman,..." Except someone. Nathan, he's gonna suspect everyone is deliberately closing in, but he's trained to suspect people. What can I do about that fact.
"Because you're beautiful ... Well, that makes sense too." He laughed as if it was nothing new.
"Now that I'm head of the unit, I'm not going to field duty anymore Dad, I'm the youngest head of the unit because of all that fieldwork right now."
"You're Kate's woman, you're in the FBI, white collar crime? I didn't think you'd be serving in disguise. And you never said anything... You're really worrying me now."
"All have a price, Dad. I think I've paid the price by going up to the head of the unit so quickly...." I calmed his worries. The head of the unit will not be able to plunge himself into disguise . Except maybe I'll be given the job of courting an agent in disguise later.
My phone rang with a message.
'Josh said you were meeting your dad, Josh said you were with your dad. Can I join?'
Nathan wants to see my dad too. I don't doubt he's taking our relationship seriously.
"Dad, someone wants to join us..."
"Someone, you mean your lover isn't..."
"Yes..." I smile.
"Of course, it's time you introduced someone..." Thank goodness we are staying away from that Russian topic now.
