The Mafia's Bride Trapped In His Love

Chapter 27: Sorry for lying

Elsie POV

"Lucas, I need to talk to you about something."

"You're acting weird, girl. What is it?"

It was hard to find a suitable time to let him know about the issue that I almost forget. This was the main reason I forced Dexter to leave the mansion. This issue needs to be solved before anything bad happens to anyone.

"No one is here, so spill it. I couldn't take it any longer. This curiosity is choking me."

Making sure no one was around, I told him about the threat that I received in the mall yesterday.

"Damn! This is something dangerous, Elsie. Dexter needs to know about this. You never thought to tell this to your husband?"

"You have no idea how much I restrain myself but that is too risky."

"So, what is your plan now?"

"Just give whatever they want. I don't have much time either. She only gave me five freaking days. I'm running out of time, Lucas."

"Wait, I think I got an idea. But, for now, we need to have the video that they want. Probably, you can find a way to get it and I will help you with the rest. The problem is how can we get the video?"

"I think I got an idea."

I took my phone out and quickly searching for Dexter's name.

"Looks like someone regrets kicking me out from the house." The voice over the line made me suppressed a smile.

"Unfortunately, that's not happening. Sorry to disappoint you." I snickered.

"Ouch, that's hurt. I will need you to heal me later when I'm home, tonight probably."

"Uh, t-tonight how?" I wanted to give myself a slap for stammering.

"Someone is having a naughty thought right now. I see."

There, he hits me right on the spot. I couldn't help but having some weird imagination in my head.

"Dexter, stop it. I'm not thinking about anything and don't ruin my innocent mind."

"Innocent, really?" His laughter filled my ears, he seems in content and I found myself smiling at him teasing me. Luckily, he can't see me.

"Stop distracting me, I need to talk to you about something," I whined, reminding myself of the reason I was calling him.

"Alright, this topic will be resumed tonight. Tell me, love, what you want me to know?"

"I need to use a laptop, can I borrow yours? You know I need to search something about this morning sickness, looking for something that might help me out from this." I bit my bottom lips, the guilt eating me deep inside. I truly felt bad for making a lie.

"Love, you don't have to explain anything to me. Just take it, I have it in my study room, and you know where to get the key. Use it as you want, you're my wife, don't ever forget that."

A sigh almost escapes my lips hearing his words, but I suppressed it, refusing to let him notice anything odd.

"Ok, thank you, Dexter."

"Anything for you, love. See you later."

"See you, bye." With that, I quickly ended the call. I blew out a deep breath as if it could help to erase all the uneasiness out from me. Slowly, I turned to look at Lucas who was waiting for me so that we can start with our plan.

"The result?" He questioned, raising a brow.

"I thought it will be hard to get it from him, but he refuses to listen to my explanation. He gave me permission right away. Let's make it done quickly, this thing really suffocating me. I just want this issue out from my life as soon as possible."

"Alright, mission time." He said and with that, we stroll to his study room.

Just in a short time, we managed to unlock the study room and get the laptop which was placed in a locked drawer. I can use the laptop freely once he let me know the password to log in.

"I think it's this one. The name mentioned by the girl."

"Then copy it faster. I will explain to you later what I'm going to do with that. This will be a twist."

"Ok, right away, I hope we are not doing something wrong. I feel so bad for lying to him, but I really don't have a choice."

"Don't worry, we are not going to create a mess."

Finally, the folder was successfully copied to the thumb drive and I quickly turned off the laptop before leaving the room. I'm not sure about Lucas's idea but knowing that he was someone expert in IT and hacking activity, I do put hope in him.  

"Sorry for lying, Dexter, "I muttered inaudibly.
