Chapter 5

The three BMWs entered through a richly decorated iron gate and stopped in front of the Villa's entrance. As Chuck stepped out of the car, he was again mesmerized by the estate's beauty.

It was white two stories building with a perfect mix of modern and old building techniques. When Chuck was shown this building, he instantly fell in love. It had not been inexpensive either. It had cost him almost all the money he had been able to accumulate from the share ( remember about Lisa, that had been a lot of money), but it was worth it. The property extended at a radius of three miles from the Villa, and the next Villa was again three miles from the boundary. So his closest neighbor was six miles away. Thank God rich people like privacy.

He had bought this Villa or estate for himself and Ellie. When he bought it, he wanted to live here with Ellie, but Ellie loved Burbank. So Chuck never brought it up; now, it will serve his purpose. He will be virtually undetected if he remains inside the property lines. Who would look for poor and College dropout Chuck here?

As Chuck lost his thought, they made their way inside the Villa. The house staff were busy taking his suitcase from the car. He automatically made his way to the guest room but was stopped by Hannah. She directed him toward the master bedroom.

The master bedroom was empty, and the house staff was busy putting his clothes in the wardrobe from his suitcase and bag. He looked at Hannah with a look that he wanted some explanation. He thought it was Hannah's room as she had been living here since he acquired this Vila. He had thought she had brought him here to explain something about the company.

Hannah smiled and said, "Although Chuck was not here, this was his house, and he was only entitled to sleep in the master bedroom."

Chuck replied, "But I said you could sleep in the master bedroom."

"Then I disobeyed your order. Will you punish me, Chuck" Hannah replied playfully and walked out of the room, leaving a stunned Chuck.

Chuck shook himself out of the shock. He changed his cloth and went to bed.

He was woken by Hannah around 5 am with coffee. Chuck smiled at her and said she did not need to get him coffee. Some house staff could have done that will he toke the coffee from her.

Hannah replied that she knew that any house staff could have bought it, but she wanted to, and Chuck should get ready as they were going for a run. For the first time in the morning, he paid attention to what she was wearing, and God, she looked beautiful in it, Not that he was looking for a relationship. She had a tight tracksuit that touched her curve at the right place, not that he was noticing, no… no, never.

Hannah replied that she had already bought a tracksuit for him while taking it out of his wardrobe and giving it to him. As Chuck finished his coffee, Hannah pulled him out of bed, pushed him toward the bathroom while giving him the tracksuit, and said not to make any more excuses. After Chuck exited the toilet, they went for a run. After multiple stops, they complete a full round of the property. A gasping and sweating Chuck and Hannah, who looked like she had just dressed, entered the Villa, where Chuck laid into the nearest couch he could find, looking breathless.

To tell the truth, Hannah was impressed that Chuck had been able to do this much as she knew he had never run in his life, but she had to get him in shape if he wanted to take control of the company. She knew too well how much respect was given or not by the looks. So the first thing she had to do was to get in shape and rest. He is great. Well, she made a start, didn't. She went to the kitchen and brought a glass of water for him to drink. After which, Hannah went to get to the office.

It was fifteen minutes before Chuck could even think of leaving the crouch. By that time, Hannah had already left. By God, this woman will literally kill me. He went to the bathroom with very sore muscles and lay in the hot tub water for almost an hour. The hot water did wonders for his muscles. When he finally made his way to the dining room after getting dressed, he found breakfast reading.

After Chuck finished breakfast, he went to his domain, the dungeon, or his lab. As he made his way toward the dungeon, he came toward a narrow lane with a line of candle posts on both sides as he made his way through the narrow path. He stopped in front of a wall, touched the second candle post, and turned it around. The wall slid away, and in place was a metallic door on whose side a scanner was located. With his retina and handprint, he was able to enter the base. If anyone without approval could make his way here, the opening of the corridor would close, and sleeping gas would be released in the gallery, trapping anyone here.

You may ask why the protection of this base is essential because it holds the computer which housed Lisa. From here, Lisa was connected to the internet or other bases. At this place, he had found that his mother had run off with a Russian guy named Volkoff, a multibillionaire in Russia. Chuck stopped the search there. As of now, only he and Hannah knew of this base. As he came inside, the base light began to come to life. It was a huge base which expanded throughout the Villa. There were shelves lined with the wall where different gadgets and files were kept. He made his way to the computer and started the work. He and Lisa had a lot to do. They had to create software so that all the doors and the cameras could be controlled by Lisa so that Lisa could identify the people at the gate and alert him of any danger. With that, he started his work.

Zondra watched as her mark and her husband lay before the swimming pool, talking to each other and soaking in the sun. She and her partner had arrived here at six in the morning. Their cover as a couple on honeymoon. They had been called from their mission. Apparently, her marks brother was a high-level CIA asset and had run. She had to find out if his sister knew anything or not. She had been instructed that on no term the guest should suspect a thing or have any problem from her side. So Zondra moved toward her mark, wearing a two-piece suit.

Hello, my name is Zondra Rizzo, and you are…

Carina made her way to Buy more of her target, Martin. She had to find where Chuckie had disappeared. She found Martin sulking in one corner of the Buymore, making her way toward Martin. She decided on a direct approach. This is going to be fun.
