Not your typical baby mama

"And that's my problem....., how?" She countered and he clammed his mouth shut.

She resumed walking with Peter behind her while the bodyguards cleaned up the mess that was the factory manager. Charlie was still rooted to the same spot fighting not to cry at the devastating sight. Was he even doing the right thing?

"Two hours!" Gwen shouted over her shouod before taking the lift to the top floor.

Peter waited until they reached the manager's office and settle down so he could ask his curious question. Gwen looked around for a liquor cabinet and finally found one to pour herself a glass.

"Was that..... really necessary? If.... If anything, I think he was just doing his job", he carefully eyed Gwen who threw herself on the spinning chair with a sigh.

"I shouldn't explain things to you", she said exhaustedly before taking a sip.

She was about to take another when she caught his curious gaze. Peter could act like a child sometimes. It was surprising that he had not understood the reason behind her actions. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Is it not common sense to secure breakables if they're being transported?" She looked at him with raised brows but didn't give him the opportunity to answer. "So why, with such a big order, would the factory manager 'forget' to give this instruction? It's more believable to give an order to not secure them so there is a delay in the distribution. A deliberate move."

"A deliberate move? But no one knows about this", he still did not get it. He knew how secretive this distribution was.

"No one?" She arched an amused brow at him.

"Amy?"

"Come on! Look at this place. It's impossible for her to know." Gwen thought with Amy being on the run and the factory being in such a secluded place and no security cameras, phones, and internet available, Amy was practically blind.

"Then the F.B.I?"

"Bingo! Unfortunately, they haven't stopped sniffing around. It's very possible they have or had a spy among us."

If the manager was the spy, then it's been taken care of but if the spy is out there, she'd like to see them make any stupid moves. She smirked at this before downing the hard contents in her glass. Seeing her like that, Peter did not want to burst her bubble that it's possible that Amy knew since she was now working with the F.B.I.

But things seemed to be under control. He could see the light at the end of the tunnel. As expected, if things are personally run by the King, there's no room for mistakes. There's nothing the FBI or Amy could do.

'I wonder what will be the end of her when the King finds her', he mused. A knocked snapped him out of his thoughts and he stood to go get the door.

"Boss, we found something on the manager's body", a bodyguard said after he walked in.

Gwen turned to have a look to find it was a hidden camera as well as an SD card. She chuckled when she saw Peter's expression. His face was practically saying 'you were right!'

"Destroy it!" She said and turned away to get another glass.

"Yes boss!"

Peter closed the door after the man left. He found a sofa and settled on it. Gwen was focused on drinking, while he had no clue what to do. He took out his phone and unlocked to come face to face with the picture of his wife as his screensaver.

"When are you leaving her?" She asked from where she sat. She caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye.

"Leave her?" He was genuinely surprised by this.

She let out a chuckle, "Which sane woman would stay after finding out everything you did with me?"

"Did you tell her?" Panic reflected through his eyes and demeanor.

"Calm down! Of course I didn't."

He visibly calmed down and resumed looking at his phone screen. She just played at his biggest fear: Shauna finding out about his dirty secret. That would shatter his world, it would be the end of him!

Gwen watched him with eyes full of mockery. Who was he fooling? She was glad she was not emotionally drawn to such a weak man. She would hate to be in Shauna's shoes. She didn't need to tell her for Shauna to find out about them.....

'Should I tell him... or not? Hm, I almost... feel sorry for him', she thought in amusement.

But if Shauna were to stay with him despite everything..... Marriage is a scam! She'd murder someone's son before he can even do the things Peter has done!

As the two tended to their thoughts, two hours easily passed and a knock was heard right on the dot. Peter was the one to get the door. He stepped aside to let Charlie in. Gwen looked up form her glass with brows raised in question.

"Everything is ready", Charlie said politely and in evident fear.

"About time."

,m She finished her drink before they exited the office. Charlie was following right behind them. Being surrounded by the bodyguards almost made his soul jump out of his body one too many times.

The ride was quiet and he was not sure if he preferred it that way. But it was better than being randomly shot to death. He won't get shot too, now will he?

'Dear god', he mused inwardly and started counting his blessings and saying his possibly last prayer.

When they got there, she nodded in satisfaction at the job well done. Charlie felt a little relieved at this but still mustered courage to ask.

"Would you like to inspect, madam?"

"No need. Send them out!"

One by one, they shut close the trailers and the trucks drove off. She took out her phone and dialed for her boss.

"It's done", she ended the call and continued to watch on as the trucks disappeared into the distance.

The sun was now setting, Gwen felt some sense of relief and yet worry at the same time. She's done her part, it was now time for the King to show his power.

Bang! Sound of gunshots were suddenly heard, shocking everyone. Peter looked at Gwen only to find she was equally alarmed.

"Get down! We're under attack!" One of the bodyguards shouted as he shielded the two.

"Who-?" She was cut off by another gun shot and being shuffled to safety by her bodyguard.

"FBI!"

"FBI!"

"You're all surrounded!"

"Shit", Peter whispered in panic! This is it! This is the end for them! What will he tell Shauna? Kaden and Kyle! There's no way to get out of this!

"We're doomed!" He whispered, almost wanting to cry. Meanwhile, Gwen could only smirk.
