Damn! I Fall in Love With Him
Chapter 58: Ghost

Chapter 58: Ghost

Suddenly Mel remembers, beforehand, Mario asks them something. She glances at him.

She saw Mario watching TV while holding a jar of nuts. She feels like she wants to eat the nuts too. She gulps silently, then asks him, "Mario, what do you want to ask earlier?"

Mario rolls his eyes.

After many times asking you, now you finally pay attention to me? You a good fellow, huh! He still felt a little annoyed but curious about their conversation before, "Are you guys finish talking?"

Mel nods.

Alex ignores him. He is staring at his phone, not care a bit about Mario.

"I just want to know, who’s identity you guys talking before?" he asks.

Mel froze. She completely forgets that Mario still in the room when they talk about her identity.

’WHAT TO DO?’ now she is panicked.

"Your identity, right? Who are you?" he looking at Mel, waiting for her to answer. When he saw Mel panicked, he suddenly remembers something. "Y-you... Melanie Tanner?" his eyes open wider, his jaw drop.

Mel speechless.

’Okay, good! Now everyone knows my identity.’ She sends a cynical glare at Alex.

Alex, who focuses on his cell phone, suddenly felt someone glare at him. He lifts his head, and he saw Mel’s sulking eyes looked at him. Alex frowns as if he asks her, WHY? WHAT HAPPEN? WHY YOU LOOK SO MAD?

A moment later, he hears Mario ask, "Brother Alex, is Mel’s real name is Melanie Tanner?"

Damn! Now, he knows why this little sister looks so sulking. He diverts his head toward Mario. It was too late now. He can’t lie anymore. He could only nod to answer Mario’s question.

Mario’s eyes open wide in shock.

"Wait... Mario, do you know me? I mean, do you know Melanie Tanner?" Mel feels something is not right, even though he knows her real name. He doesn’t need to be surprised like that.

Mario nods, then asks her, "You forget about me? How could you? Back then, you always come to my house and play together."

Mel stunned. She looks to Alex to asks for help. "Do I know him?"

"Hmm... he is Mario William. Grandpa Will second grandson." He said casually.

Mel is shocking. Now she can connect the dots. Her Grandpa, Grandpa Hill, Grandpa Adams, and Grandpa Will they all best friends. When she was a little, she always follows her Grandpa to come to their house.

She already knows about Grandpa Hill’s family because she was pretty close to Alex and Axel. For Grandpa Adams, today, she finds out his true identity. He is President Adams’s father.

And the last one, Grandpa Will, Mel just knows Grandpa Will is the founder of the W group. This info is surprised her. Back then, when she was a child, she only knows Grandpa Will, not William. That’s why until now, she never suspected that she was a William’s.

"Alex... is Grandpa Will related with W group?"

"Hmm... you right," Alex said. He said casually.

Mel almost vomited blood.

"Mario, why you never tell me that you are Grandpa Will’s second grandson? And why you never told me that you are from W group?"

Mario’s hand stopped right before he eats the nuts in his hand... "Why should I tell you? Before, I don’t know that you are Melanie Tanner." He raises his eyebrows.

Mel speechless.

’Mario was right. Why would he tell me? I’m only his colleague, not his close family.’

Mario adds, "And you... why you suddenly moving without telling us? You also change your name. Do you know, when my brother knows you are moving, he comes to your house, but you are already gone. He asks your father and Grandpa for your address, but they also don’t know your place. I Don’t know if they really don’t know or intentionally hide your address." He said with a sulking tone.

Mel stunned. She never knows her sudden moving will cause brother Miles, her childhood crush, to act like that.

She thinks her crush never likes her back. She thinks brothers Miles hates her because she used to follow him everywhere. And, back then, brother Miles never showed any emotion toward her.

But now, what she hears from Mario makes his heart tighten and speechless at the same time.

’Did brother Miles has a feeling towards me?’ Her heart trembled slightly knowing this fact.

After a long silence, she finally dares to ask Mario "So, where is he now?"

Mario looked at Mel straight into her eyes... "He is so busy with his job. Now, he is the CEO of W group."

"Huh!! CEO? I thought W group CEO is Andrew William. Who is he? I Never know you have another brother." Mel little bit confused.

Alex, who is busy staring at his cellphone, lifts his head to see Mel.

While Mario laughs, "Y-you... Back then, do you really like him? Why you don’t know his full name? His full name is Andrew Miles William." He rolls his eyes while continue eat nuts.

Mel suddenly coughed until her face turned red like a boiled crab. Alex, who sits right in front of her, gives her a handkerchief and a glass of water.

Mel takes the glass and gulps the water in one go. Now, her mind completely in chaos. How could she don’t know about that?

Suddenly she feels lost.

So Andrew William, the CEO of W Group, is her childhood crush?

"Little sister, why are you so shocked? Have something happen with you and Andrew?" Alex was confused to see Mel who suddenly behaved strangely.

"Yes, Mel, have you met him before? Is that why you are so shocked, now?" Mario adds.

"No...no at all. I just always hear his name but never meet him. I ever have an appointment to meet with him, to sign a cooperation contract. Still, at that time, he suddenly canceled because Grandpa Will admitted to the hospital." Mel tells them about her encounter with the W group.

Mario and Alex were a little bit shocked to hear her story.

After Mel had calmed down, Mel and Mario talked a lot about grandpa Will.

Not long after, Mr. Rexi comes in and asks them to come to uncle Daniel’s study room.

Mel looked at her watch at 11 PM. She feels something, not right. Why suddenly uncle Daniel calls them to go to his study room now? It’s almost midnight.

Alex also noticed her worry face. He walks beside Mel and asks her to tell her driver to go home now because they might be staying here a little longer. He promised, later, he will drop her at her apartment.

Mel agrees then immediately sends texts to her driver.

The moment they enter the study room, Mel saw Uncle Daniel’s face turn dark.

Uncle Daniel asks them to sit on the sofa. Then he said... "I just got the news. The kidnapping of scientists in Russia earlier this year, the attempt to steal our country by hackers a few weeks ago, and the kidnapping of my son Bobby, in K town, are related..."

Uncle Daniel told them the information he had just received from the state intelligence agency.

Mel was shocked.

Mario’s eyes are wide open.

Alex’s face turned dark.

"Uncle, do you know who the mastermind is?" Alex asked.

Uncle Daniel shook his head. "Not yet. However, we already have a suspect. And we also received cooperation offers from other countries who happened to have the same case as ours. We believed that this perpetrator was from the same organization, ’GHOST.’"

"GHOST?" The three of them simultaneously shouted in shock.

They can’t believe that the most dangerous and well-organized criminal groups in Asia and Europe are behind all these crimes.

Uncle Daniel nods. His face is still dark.

"Which country?" asked Alex

"China and Russia." Uncle Daniel said.

Alex and Mario nod.

"Commander in chief will contact you tomorrow for more details. XTeam will likely go to the two countries as part of our cooperation with them."

"Brother Alex, in this case, is it related to Biological Weapon 7?" Asked Mel. Although Mel is a member of XTeam, she is currently on leave. She does not take part in missions, except for critical missions like the case in Russia earlier this year. So, she was a bit behind with the latest information on Basecamp.

"Yeah, related to that," Alex replied.

Instantly Mel froze.

BW7 was a terrifying biological weapon. This weapon can eradicate a human race in a short time without detecting the cause.

Because this weapon is so terrible, the government decided to destroy all information related to BW7.

Unfortunately, six years ago, an insider had leaked BW7 information. Several criminal organizations and corrupt countries started targeting country X to steal BW7 data. Still, because all traces of BW7 disappeared undetected, the case was closed.

But, recently, rumors about BW7 have resurfaced. A notorious criminal organization called ’GHOST’ is interested in BW7. Authorities suspect several recent crimes are related to their attempt to obtain classified information about BW7.
