Chapter 42 - GAME ON

DANTE'S POV

Saturday was a horrible day for Adeline. All she wanted was a normal night with her friends. All she wanted was a peaceful dinner and her parents couldn't give her even that and it doesn't make how much her parents are parents are willing to do just so she can marry this Adrian guy.

I know Adrian threatened Adeline but now I'm starting to think that he threatened her parents too. I mean they basically depend on Adrian for their company to go big and worldwide once they launch it but I'm baffled that they're willing to do all that even at the jeopardy of they daughter.

Adrian has them brainwashed and no doubt scared. I'm sure of it. He actually wants Adeline for himself now and he's willing to do anything to get her from me. He's even willing to send people to my house to kill me? I still haven't forgotten about that but I haven't been able to do much about it because of all that happened and I've been spending a lot of time with Adeline lately which I love, but I need to get back to work if I'm going to make Adrian pay for all this.

I already know he's somehow linked to the sex trafficking organization. All I need now is proof and information on everything he does for the organization. And then I can kill the bastard.

I took Adrian's number from Adeline's phone while he was asleep so now, I can track his phone calls and I'll be able to tell his exact position every time he makes a phone call with this number. Of course, I'm sure someone like him has a lot of numbers since he does a lot of dirty business but for now, I'll just have to work with what I have.

I've been thinking about Adrian Wellington since I met the guy and I've been thinking about him even more since I saw a picture of him with that man I killed. I wanted to know what exactly his relationship is with the sex trafficking organization and as I brainstormed, a sick idea suddenly came to my mind.

In this world and in the business world, Adrian Wellington is basically known as a master investor. He invests in businesses that he predicts will succeed and in turn, he makes mad profit form these companies. If he's investing in Adeline's parents' new company, it's because he knows their company will be a success.

It makes me wonder of Adrian Wellington might be a possible investor in the sex trafficking organization. Even though he might not be the investor that middle man I killed told me about, "The Predator", it doesn't mean he isn't one of them.

I have no reason to believe Adrian is clean but I have absolutely every reason to believe he's a huge part of the people I'm targeting and it makes my hatred for him burn even brighter. I mean what else could he have been doing with that man I killed if he isn't involved? And his psychotic actins aren't helping the matter either.

If what I'm thinking is true, then that means Adrian Wellington is one of the reasons this organization keeps growing. He's one of the reasons little girls keep getting missing, tortured, drugged, sold and possibly killed and I'm going to make him pay for it.

I have no idea how I'm going to do all of this by myself. Things would have been a lot easier for me if I had someone to work with but I don't trust anyone enough with what I do. I'm not sure anyone else can stomach what I do without judging me, but as I go further and deeper into this, the harder and more dangerous it becomes and there's no way I'm giving up but I'm extremely worried for Adeline.

If anything happens to her because I wasn't able to protect her from Adrian or keep her away from all this then I'll never forgive myself.

However, I have a plan and the first thing I'm going to do is kidnap Adrian's body guard. Adrian might think lowly of me but he has no idea how observant I am and every single time I've seen Adrian, there has been a man not too far away from him, hiding in the shadows, watching and protecting him.

Even in some pictures I've seen of Adrian, that particular bodyguard is somehow always in them, not too far away from Adrian and it makes me understand that Adrian trusts this man, and if Adrian trusts him, that means this body guard has important information about Adrian that only he and Adrian can know about.

What Adrian goes to, who Adrian goes to meet and where Adrian goes to. Now all I have to do is stalk Adrian and his body guard, find out where the body guard lives, kidnap him and make him tell me everything there is to know about Adrian. With the technology I have here at home, I'm sure I can find some information about this bodyguard from his photos with Adrian.

I download one of the pictures with a higher resolution and make it a bit more pixelated so my software can recognize it better, then I run the image into a database and wait for information about the body guard to pop up but all I end up with is basic information and I let out a deep sigh when I realize I'm at a dead end.

It's the same thing when I try to find information about Adrian. He's protected from the internet and so is his body guard which gives me even more reason to suspect him. I try every single software and type in every single code that I can but all I can find is irrelevant information and nothing that can lead me to the sex trafficking organization.

I am after all just one man and although my skills are top notch, this organization must have their stuff protected real good and if Adrian is part of it, it only makes sense that his stuff are protected too.

I thought I could do all of my operations from the comfort and safety of my home but I guess if I ever want to find information about Adrian and his mystery bodyguard, I'll have to go out there and get the job done with my own hands.

I have to go for the easy target first, Adrian's bodyguard which means I have to start constantly stalking Adrian and that's going to make Adeline ask a lot of questions when she finds out I'm not as present. I'll have to do this during her work hours so she doesn't suspect anything and I'll have to be super discrete so I don't get caught.

I can't let anything go wrong. I've reached a stage in this fight for revenge and justice that is critical to me and to all those around me. If Adrian is an investor, then I'm a step closer to making these people pay. I'm a step closer to uncovering this organization and exposing them to the entire world.

I know it's a big dream for just one man. But I've come this far and by the time I'm done with these people, they'll regret the day they were ever born. I will make them suffer. Each and every one of them but till then, Adrian Wellington is my new play thing. My new target. The next person to get tortured and die by my hands.

Only one person can come out on top and that's me. Game on Adrian Wellington. Game on.
