BLACK KNIGHT The CEO guards her by Jayden

His Trophy Wife, The Apex Predator

Eydie Pfefferle

My husband of three years, Arthur Vanderbilt, came home smelling of his mistress's perfume and threw divorce papers on our marble kitchen island. He demanded I sign away all rights to our assets for a five-million-dollar "severance," calling me a leech his family picked up from the suburbs to solve a temporary PR crisis. When I refused and demanded my four percent equity in the Vanderbilt Group, he and his mistress, Serena, launched a vicious smear campaign. They planted false stories on Wall Street forums, accusing me of laundering money for an Eastern European crime syndicate. They tried to force my hand with a check for five hundred million, which I tore up and threw in his face. To them, I was just a trophy wife they could easily discard. They had no idea that the "leech" they so despised was the anonymous investor who had secretly bailed out their entire company three years ago, saving them from bankruptcy. Their final move was to hire an actress to publicly accuse me of fraud in the lobby of the most powerful law firm in Manhattan. They didn't realize I was there to retain the firm's most ruthless lawyer. After security threw them out, I looked my replacement in the eye and made her a promise. "Prepare for an FBI probe into perjury and corporate defamation."

"His name is Lincon, drug dealer and a steel factory owner" Patt showed me his pictures and I looked at it seriously

"What do you want me to do?" I asked

"Kill him with this dangerous chemical. Put it in his drink"

"What do you want to get from him?"

"Oh a lot beautiful" Patt put his arm around me and whispered it to my ear

"A 50% stock of that steel business and drugs of course" Patt smirked and I sighed

2 years ago when I was 20, my parents got a really big debt because their business went bankrupt. My dad got a deal with Patt Brooks but my dad can't pay him. Since he can't pay him,he decided to sell me to Patt Brooks.

Now, I'm a mafia's puppet. I worked with Patt Brooks and his little brother Kolen. 2 years ago, they trained me. Boxing, using guns, parkour to help me escape and etc. I dropped out from university because I can't afford it and I need to save my parents from being killed by these 2 evil man

I got a lot of identity to cover up my private life. No one knows that my real name is Cassandra. I told people that my name is Natasha.

"Do you got me the access?" I asked

"Of course darling" Patt put my fake ID and invitation in front of me. I smirked looking at my ID. Today my name is Madeline

"6.30 right?" I asked

"Yes and we already prepared everything for you" He gave me a small gun and I can put this inside my dress and a safe place so if there's an emergency. I have my backup

"Only that?"

"The chemical will react in 5 hours, it will spread in his blood like wildfire" Patt laughed evilly and I just smirked

"Why up for small businessmen instead of big ones? I don't get you" I stated truthfully and he looked at me smiling

"Nice question"

"Killing and taking lives from the 7 Gold Lifes will never be good. My friend stupidly up for that but they caught him quickly. I hate to admit this but they're really tight. You can't beat their skill in everything. Not even their kids.. That's why you should watch out for tonight" He warned and I nodded

"How can they even have that kind of skill?" I asked

"That's the secret, no one knows. We never get the answer for that. I bet they trained" Patt walked to his seat and pulled out something

"Here's the liquid" He said and I can't believe I'm seeing this water like liquid

"It's a dangerous chemical but it has a slow reaction"

"He'll be dead soon" I said and he smirked

"That's my girl, make me proud" He gave full data of Lincon so I can learn a lot more from him. I sighed, I killed people just to save my parents and they even threw me to this mafia killer. I walked out from Patt's office and got into my apartment.

I quickly took a shower and started to get ready. I took out my long black halter dress. I put on a tight rubber belt on my waist and slipped the gun there. I put the dress on to check if it's visible or not. It's not because the dress is not that tight on my body. It has a high slit so people won't get suspicious with me

I put my makeup on and curled my hair. I need to approach Lincoln and flirt with him a little bit so he wants to have a drink with me. I need to do this fast so I can rest and relax. Let's just don't get into trouble because I'll be dead in not time

I put on my high heels and earrings. I looked at myself in the mirror to check if the gun was visible or not. I doubted that there will be a security. I put the chemical liquid into my clutch and ready to go.

I went out from my apartment and quickly took a taxi to the event venue. I'm not nervous anymore while doing this kind of thing. I'm used to it right now.

I started to think about my strategy to get Lincon quickly. I need to use my flirting skills to get him to drink champagne with me.

"Miss.. we're here" I got out of the taxi and paid for it. I walked inside and showed them the invitation. They let me inside and I'm right that there's no security.

There's a lot of people here, all I need to do is to find Lincon in the crowd. I walked casually and I started to roam around the ballroom more. Suddenly I bumped someone and my high heels stepped on my long dress making me tripped
