Chapter 105: Double crossing

Coffee shop

"Are you sure Jane would be coming here?" Alice whispered, lowering her voice, and looked at Ashley, scanning the coffee shop. They took the corner set, making sure jane wouldn’t see them.

"Miley won’t lie. She said she heard Jane talk to someone, and they would meet here."

Ashley was in her house when Miley called and informed her about Jane talking to someone secretly. She also left the agency, saying she wasn’t feeling well.

"I want to punch her face if she comes across me. I still can’t believe she will stoop so low to make others look down on you" Ashley had told Alice about everything Jane did and how she was suspicious about her being involved in Benny’s abduction.

"No, don’t ever do that. I don’t want my friend to dirty her hand by touching her" Ashley knew Alice had a bad temper and was also sure she would go and punch her if she bad-mouthed them.

Ashley was trying to calm Alice when the door of the coffee shop opened, and Jane walked in, making them stop speaking, and they hid, making sure Jane wouldn’t see them.

"She is here," Ashley said and made Alice quiet.

Just after Jane entered, a man wearing a black leather jacket walked in. He had worn a black cap and covered half his face by wearing a mask. Ashley narrowed her eyes as she couldn’t see his face.

They took the seat, skipped where Ashley was seated and settled down.

"Who is this man?" Alice whispered.

Ashley wasn’t sure, but she felt he was one of the people who took Benny away. His mysterious look was already giving her that dangerous vibe.

"He can be one of the men who abducted Benny. I am not sure" Ashley wanted to listen to their conversation, but being a seat away from them made it hard for her to catch their words.

Alice was about to say something when they heard Jane’s voice," Don’t harm the girl yet. I will inform you what to do with her after the fashion week."

Ashley frowned when she heard Jane’s words, and something inside her said it was Benny she was talking about.

"But madam, the girl doesn’t listen to us and keeps screaming. I doubt one day the people near the neighbourhood would hear her yelling," the man in the black sand.

"This girl, why can’t she stay still? Doesn’t she care about her grandmother’s life" Jane slammed her palm on the table and caught people’s eyes, but she soon covered it up by putting on an act?

Jane thought for a while and said," Start giving her anaesthesia and silence here, or else we have to move her from there and locate her elsewhere.

Jane passed him some money and asked the men to care for Benny. The man took the price and walked out of the coffee shop. A few minutes after he left, Jane took walked out.

"Do you think the girl is safe? She asked him to drug her," Alice worriedly asked and saw Ashley knit her brows, his concern too.

She quickly got up and turned to leave, followed by Alice." We need to follow that man Alice. That’s the only way we could reach Benny" Ashley quickly rushed out of the shop and entered the car.

She was sure the man hadn’t gone too far because she didn’t see him come with any vehicle, meaning the man lived nearby, or perhaps Benny was somewhere nearby.

Ashley quickly started the car and drove to a distance from where she saw the man leave the shop. She kept looking at the road when her eyes caught the sight of the man entering the pharmacy.

"Look, he is there" Alice also saw the man and stopped the car, watching him step out of the pharmacy.

"What should we do know?" Alice asked, looking at Ashley, whose eyes observed the man as he walked away.

"Ash, that man is going", Alice squealed, watching the man vanish from their eyesight.

"Shh... don’t yell" Ashley covered her mouth and stopped her from speaking.

"I don’t think we would find Benny here" Ashley sighed and pointed at the car that followed the man’s direction.

Alice’s eyes widened in shock and averted toward Ashley in horror. Getting her to look, she nodded and dropped her hand from her mouth.

"She is following him" Alice was shocked to see Jane’s car passing by their car and going in the direction the man went.

"Does it mean she saw us?" Alice muttered.

"No, she didn’t. I saw her car just when he walked out of the pharmacy shop. I think she wants to make sure no one is following him" Alice blew out air and closed her eyes, sighing in relief.

"Thank god. I thought she saw us" Alice couldn’t believe Jane to be so smart that she even followed the man she hired to abduct Benny.

Ashley didn’t say anything and drove the car back to her apartment.

Ashley’s apartment

"Jane is such a cunning lady. She followed the man to ensure he wasn’t double-crossing her" Alice was quite surprised to see Jane’s car passing them.

Luckily they didn’t step out, or else she would’ve seen them.

Alice looked at Ashley and saw her in deep thought." What is going on in your mind?" she asked.

"I don’t know, but I have a feeling that after Jane finishes up walking the ramp, she would let go of Benny just like that"

"What do you mean?" Alice frowned.

Ashley gave her a horrifying look, and that alarmed her." D-does it means she would kill her once she is of no use to her"

Ashley didn’t want to think that way, but what she heard while she instructed that man made her feel the same.

"She knows once they let go of Benny, we would find her, and if she exposes her deed, then it would again affect her image, and that would lead to huge damage to her career, and she wouldn’t let that happen."

"Then how will we find Benny Ash? Her life is in danger" Alice felt terrible for the young girl who was pulled into the mess Jane had planted, and she was so evil that she wanted to erase the girl’s existence once she had set her foot back in the modelling world.

Ashley felt so helpless at the moment. They could’ve followed the man and questioned him, but they had no backup. And then there was Jane, who was keeping an eye on everyone involved with her in this plan.

She thought for a while and picked up her phone to make want a call to Miley. After instructing her something, she ended the call and looked at Alice, who gave her a weird look.

"You think this will work," she asked and saw her sigh.

" Just hope for the best" was all Ashley could say.

Jane returned home after ensuring everything was under control and entered Greg’s room." Huh, where did he go?" she muttered, looking at the space.

Greg had been acting differently, and his behaviour was bothering her. She wanted to ask him if something was bothering him, but whenever she went to him, she always found him passed out somewhere in his room.

Taking her phone out, she made a call, but he didn’t pick it up, making her more anxious.

"Why isn’t he answering the calls."

Jane was about to step out when Greg walked inside. He was sober and drunk like he had been these few days.

Her face instantly brightened up, and she ran to him and hugged him," Greg, why weren’t you answering my calls? I was so worried."

Greg pulled her apart from the hug and pursed his lips." I am sleepy, Jane," he said and walked past, leaving her behind and entering his room.

Jane looked at the closed door and felt disheartened. Greg was acting strange, but why. What was he hiding from her, and where did he go at this hour?

She had no answer for it because Greg just ignored her concern and left her like her worries didn’t matter to him.

Was he losing his interest in me? She couldn’t help but think.

Jane knew Greg was only with her for sexual pleasure because even after breaking up with Ashley, she couldn’t see that love in his eyes.

They had sex every day, and all she could see from his action was pure lust for her. Jane didn’t care about giving him pleasure because it was the only way to keep him close to her, and it was the only reason he left Ashley because she didn’t satisfy his needs and wants.

But now, his lack of interest in her was scaring the shit out of her. What will she do if he loses interest in her and finds someone better? Then what would happen to her?

Jane had gone through a lot of hardship to have him by her side, and now when he is finally with her, she can’t lose him,
