Cherreads

Chapter 25 - Clarissa × Brandon

Clarissa

I sat in the car alongside Brandon with Jenna sitting on my lap busy playing with a doll. Brandon was prepared to go on this business trip of his.

I decided to look out the window for as long as I could just so we didn't have to talk, but I for sure kept glancing at him a few times on to see him fully concentrated on the book he was reading.

 

 ********

Soon the car parked in front of an airport and the door was opened for us to come out.

This was just annoying.

What?

Guards following us everywhere, every time that we are not even able to do the simplest things for ourselves.

We walked into the airport. The place was huge.

Why are you shocked?

I thought you have been out the country?

Menteur.

I kept on walking till Brandon stopped me at some point.

"Where are you going?"

"But the reception's that way."

He chuckled.

"We are heading that way."

I mouthed "oh".

Brandon led us to a very exclusive part of the airport with a less number of planes and they were customized.

By that I mean they had different colours.

" Why are we here?" I asked.

"My ride's that one."

He pointed to an all black jet with the name Bartels embellished in gold.

"You own a private jet?"

He nodded.

The dude freaking owns a private jet.

"Woah!" I gasped not knowing I was a bit loud.

Brandon chuckled.

"What?"

"You sounded like a child."

I glared at him and Jenna giggled.

What does SHE know?

We walked towards the plane.

"So, this is it?"

"Yes."

Jenna started to wail.

Brandon came closer and took her from me.

"Bramby!" She screamed.

Wow, she called him "Bramby".

Cute.

" Jen Jen, don't cry." He said trying to comfort her.

"" B-Bon't gwo." She sniffles.

"I'll be back soon."

When she piped down a little, Brandon handed her over to me.

"Take care. Both of you."

"You too."

"If you need anything, just call me."

I nodded.

He came close to us and kissed Jenna on the forehead and she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

Brandon pulled away slowly.

"Take care of her. Please."

Then he did something crazy.

He came closer and kissed the side of my head.

Maybe we left the original Brandon at the ball?

Seriously?

He waved at us as he retreated into the plane with Jenna and I waving back.

Jenna placed her head in the crook of my neck.

When the plane took of, I was certainly sure I heard the sound of a camera but when I turned around there was nobody there.

The guards led us back into the car so we could go back home.

Funny enough, all I could think about was Brandon kissing the side of my head.

Idiot.

I mean, it was such an unexpected act.

Brandon

After hours long in the her, I finally landed in Italy.

The main aim here was to figure out all of Nathan's plans and if possible, I was going to get rid of him .

As I entered my penthouse, I enabled all the security systems.

"You're here." Alan said coming out of one room.

"Took me long but here I am."

"We need to end this."

Alan sat in one chair behind a desk and brought out his laptop.

"Their security systems are very easy to disengage for a mafia group."

I smirked.

Whilst speaking to Alan, one guard entered the room.

"Sir, Nathan's guard finally gave us the information we wanted, it turns out that Nathan is nowhere near Sicily. He just wanted to stalk us so they could make a run for it but we tracked down his location and he is currently in Rome."

Rome wasn't built in a day and so where my plans for him.

Alan laughed.

"So, of all the places in the world, he chose to hide in Rome?"

"Our foes aren't to be underestimated, Alan."

"You do know who we're talking about here right?"

Nathan sure is dumb but we still do not know the plans he has in store for us.
