DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE
Chapter 59 - GRUVV’s POV

Chapter 59: Chapter 59 - GRUVV’s POV

Searching for Gil is of course still ongoing. Every organization was contacted, although some did not respond. Yeah, it’s not strange, either because they are involved or they just don’t want to be involved. After the office that we suspected to be a money laundering office called PACKAGE was vacated after the death of Madam Rose and the exposure of her human trafficking case and drug factory. Louis Baxter sent me some files about his investigation via email a few days after I returned from the meeting at Dhurudatta’s house.

The file contained all of Madam Rose’s income from all of her illegal businesses. The taxes she submitted and her income were so different, there were several transactions where Madam Rose’s main office sent ’payments’ to one account under a different name.

The workers who handled the nightclub’s finances were questioned but they themselves did not know, the accountant who handled the nightclub also admitted that he had not worked with Madam Rose since the last two years while his name was still listed as a permanent employee. That means for the past two years the accountant has been getting a salary for free without working.

Louis Baxter suspected the accounts that appeared in some of the transactions might be those of PACKAGE accounts. He already thinking that the case was big but didn’t expect it to be so big that the people involved didn’t even know that they might be involved in a money laundering case.

This makes it a little difficult to sort out the people who may or may not be directly involved.

"Everything Louis sent is related to Madam Rose, but the police can’t investigate this because of the old lady’s death." I said, tossing the printed and organized files onto the desk. I raised my head to stare at the white roof of the office, a puff of smoke rising. If only the old lady was still alive, maybe we could pressure her to talk about where Gil was.

But, considering that I had to see that old face again and also smell the pheromones that smelled like garbage from her body, I think killing her was the best idea.

George was smoking his cigarette in front of me, he sat with his legs wide open and looked at me.

"You killed her." He said as he exhaled the cigarette smoke into the air.

"That old woman doesn’t deserve to live, she should die." I said.

"But, you’re making it harder for the police to find where Gil is."

I straightened up, looking at George who was still smoking in front of me.

"Can’t our men work faster? Just looking for one person and taking a year? Are you fucking kidding me? Can’t you do something? They work so fucking slow!" I said, trying to provoke George who’s the leader of the all subordinates.

George raised one eyebrow, I could see the corner of his lips lift as well.

"Wow, Mr. Handkerchief, don’t talk nonsense." He said in a teasing tone, looking at me with eyes that were widened because I was covering half of my face with the handkerchief given by Shiloh. "Gil couldn’t be found because of the interference of other organizations, if he was just an ordinary civilian, since a month of searching he would be dead in my hands."

I snorted in annoyance because what he said was true, Gil was indeed hidden by someone we didn’t even know who it was, "I’m wearing this because your pheromones smell so strong!" I complained, leaning my back against the sofa and raising my head to stare at the ceiling, the handkerchief still covering half of my face.

I didn’t want to respond to his ramblings about Gil. We’re still trying to figure out who helped him escape, the PACKAGE office is big enough to clean up overnight.

"Liar, you used that handkerchief because that kid’s smell was there, right?"

I didn’t answer that stupid question. Of course I took this with me everywhere because there was a lingering smell of Shiloh’s pheromones, after so long I didn’t smell the pheromones, I just wanted to inhale the smell of his pheromones.

The smell of pheromones is so sweet and soothing. I didn’t know he gave off this kind of scent, does everyone smell the same from him too? Ah damn, I don’t want others to smell this sweet scent. Only I can smell it.

"Hey Gruvv, isn’t it time you moved to the headquarters?" George asked again, I listened to his question and thought this time. This question has also been asked by Dad when I gonna leave the other day, Dad suggested that I finish all the underground work and transfer it to Joshua as soon as possible.

My work was taken over by Joshua while I was in the hospital and according to Dad, Joshua could already be given the responsibility of doing all the work. After all, fifty percent of my work had already been taken over by him.

"I haven’t asked Shiloh if he wants to marry me or not."

George didn’t respond immediately, he took another drag on his cigarette, throwing it into the air. Silence surrounded us for a moment. I know what he’s thinking, and he knows what I’m thinking.

"But you know he’ll accept your proposal, right?"

I sighed, "The chances are so slim, you know he has a child who was taken by the Elnathan family right? From our conversation, he’s favoring taking the child back now."

I explained again to George that I wouldn’t force Shiloh to marry me, I just wanted to maintain my current relationship with Shiloh. We still have a lot to work on, from me and Shiloh not being okay to our HEAT and RUT not being able to control when it comes.

We both have traumas, and it’s best if we resolve those traumas first now. I don’t want to rush things, I want to take care of him.

"Then you should move to the headquarters immediately so you can focus on Shiloh. Lingering underground will only make matters worse."

I scratched my head, "I need to catch Gil and resolve all these issues first before going to the headquarters."

I know my job here requires a lot of time and killing people is not a good choice if I’m going to bring in Shiloh as my life partner. Then again, there would be many people who would try to harm Shiloh if I stayed underground and took over this dirty work. I had to go to a much better place, out in the open, so that it would be difficult for people to take the bad route and hurt Shiloh.

George finished one cigarette quickly, then he threw another envelope on the table. The envelope that had been sitting next to his seat.

"Open it." He said slowly.

I opened the envelope and flipped through the neatly collapsed papers one by one. I read them carefully. It was the Elnathan family investigation file. As Shiloh had explained to me and Father, the Elnathan family had taken the official route of having a surrogate mother conceive and bear a child.

"It is written in the agreement that the surrogate mother will not meet and even demand back the child that has been given to the Elnathan family." George said, taking one of the files and handing it to me.

I took the file he handed over, and opened it, checking what was inside. "But the signature given by Gil-" I stopped my words, I gripped the paper so tightly that it tore in my hands. I could feel my chest starting to rumble with anger.

"That’s the evidence from the detective I hired, the signature is genuine. The emphasis and lines show that Shiloh signed the file by himself. But that doesn’t mean he knows whether he signed the surrogacy agreement or not."

George’s explanation pissed me off even more, I really wanted to kill Gil now.

"It will make things difficult if we sue the Elnathan family."

"Can’t we just charge fraud?"

George looked at me, "There’s no evidence whatsoever."

I wanted so badly to help and solve everything that happened to Shiloh, I wanted to give him the safest and most comfortable place, I wanted to give him what I could. But, seeing all the chaos that’s happened to his life over the past few years makes it hard to know where to start.

What happened to him was so neatly covered up by Gil, that it even seemed like he had a plan that a long ago. The Elnathan family’s surrogate mother is something I really never thought of before. Not even just his father who only wanted to use Shiloh, the person he once loved also treated himr the same.

The man just wanted to get a child with good genes so he didn’t care how Shiloh felt.

"Then, what do you think so I can take over the child?"

I asked George who was now looking at me. Just as George opened his mouth, my office door opened, Shin stood with a calm and unpredictable face.

"You should go to the police station." He said quietly.

I frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Louis Baxter called me, he said Shem Powers died in the cell this afternoon."
