The Great CEO's Wife is a Gangster 55 CHAPTER 55: DID YOU SAY HER NAME IS AISHA?

"I have already prepared our best men Sir. Just give us your order anytime." Shawn told Ethan over the phone.

"Good. I'll contact you anytime soon."

"Yes sir!" Shawn answered. After Ethan hung up, he pitches Dorothy to let his private investigator get inside his office.

"Good morning Mr. Williams." The man greets him.

"Please come in Jonas." Ethan invited him in. "Please have a seat."

"Thank you!" then Jonas bought a white envelope and handed it to Ethan.

"I already have all the documents that you ask me last night. Everything is inside that envelope." Jonas confidently told him. Ethan opened the envelop as he started to browse all the documents. He also has some pictures on it. One by one he looks at them. He keeps caressing his forehead from time to time.

"Did you say her name is Aisha?" Ethan asks Jonas.

"Yes sir." Jonas answered.

Ethan was speechless. His gaze was fixed on the documents in front of him. Jonas can't even figure out what he was thinking nor what he's feeling.

Ethan stood up then he strides towards the glass wall. He looked at the horizon impassively. His profound thoughts gives the impression that no one can fathom. Jonas can't even predict his next move. Jonas wanted to talk but he withheld his thoughts. He patiently waited for Ethan to organize his thoughts.

***On the other hand, General Archedeus left Caleb and Aisha in the hospital after some hours of conversation. They do not know where he's going and where he's staying since he didn't tell them.

"Ahh! Uncle is so secretive." Aisha sighed but Caleb laughed mockingly.

"As if you're not used to him."

"I'm having a hard time I guess? Hha!'' Aisha fake a laugh.

"Tsk!" Caleb scoffs. Then they laugh. "Hey, how's Lisa doing?" Caleb suddenly asks then he heard her heave a bothered sigh.

"She's pretty troubled. She was so worried about you." Aisha told him.

"hha… I know she will!" Caleb brag but Aisha spank his head.

"Ouch! That hurts! What is that for?" he complained.

"That's for being so proud! Can you stop pestering her and just confess what you're feeling to her!" Aisha yelled.

"Hey! Why are you yelling at me? I know she likes me but I don't like her at all!" Caleb yelled back but Aisha spank his head a little harder.

"Hey woman! that hurts!" he argued.

"Shut up moron! You deserve a thousand slap! Arrrsssh! Why do I even have a friend like you!" She scolded him.

"Yah! Do you think it's a blessing to have a hard-headed friend like you? The heavens must have punished me by giving a friend like you!" Caleb started to argue as well. Aisha scoffs in annoyance then she pushed Caleb's gun-shot wound on his leg.

"Ahhh!!!!!!!!" Caleb growled in pain.

"Serves you right!" Aisha yelled, but Caleb glared at her.

"You know what? I really think you have an issue with handsome guys. Better see a psychologist will you!" Caleb was annoyed.

"Whatever!" Aisha took the apple that she peeled earlier then she shove it to his mouth.

"Caleb, Lisa said that the bounty hunters saw her." Aisha suddenly became serious. Caleb lowered his head while thinking deeply.

"So what are you proposing then?" Caleb asked Aisha.

"Let her stay in your house for the meantime. You have some men with you right?" She asked.

"But Dad is there for sure!" Caleb exclaimed.

"Don't you think it's much better? You can keep her safe in there. I can't keep her with me because I won't stay long at the mansion either." Aisha's tone depleted. Caleb looked at her.

"Are you really going to leave them without telling the truth?" He probed.

"I-I will, soon. I think Now is not the right time." she looked away. She remembered that she almost confesses the truth to Ethan last night.

"You're afraid. You're afraid that Ethan might not forgive you and Eli might hate you for lying. Am I not correct?" Caleb consoles her. Aisha bit her lower lip. Caleb is right, she was afraid to tell them the truth but she never planned to keep them in the dark for so long. she is planning to tell them the truth but in a different way.

The confession can wait. She must plan ahead first. She must do everything in her power to keep Ethan and Eli safe and away from the bounty hunters. She only needs to wait for three more weeks. Yes! three more weeks before her departure in their lives.

During Aisha's stay in the hospital, Caleb told her the whole story about his encounter with the bounty hunters. The group that he encountered are definitely the Bones! Caleb was also thinking that these Bones attacked him to lure Aisha out. She is their main target. Do they know what she's been up to? Possible! They are not dumb; these type of hunters has a reputation.

*** In a secluded farmhouse, a man on his thirties is talking to an armed woman.

"Just tell that man to stop telling us what to do. assure him that we are professional hunters and we do not take any command from any client. Let him know that we do things on our ways --- not his ways!" he was annoyed.

"I will tell him that don't worry. but are you sure that she'll come out soon?" The woman asked the man who is lighting a cigarette.

"Yes I am. She just can't help but to see his wounded friend" The guy smirked in assurance, "But if she won't then we can continue attacking those people close to her!" His evil grin is painted all over his face.
