Before he could reach a decision, Fernando hoisted him up and aimed a gun at his temple.


    His trembling intensified, but somewhere deep inside, he still believed Matthew was merely intimidating him.


    “You wouldn’t dare.


    You can’t kill me.


    ”


    “Then Let’s put it to the test,” Matthew retorted icily, signaling Fernando with a slight upward tilt of his chin.


    Fernando c@@ked the gun and pressed it back against Alex’s forehead.

    Alex’s cautionary words had merit.


    He wouldn’t always be in Fairwa to keep an eye on Stevie’s activities against the project.


    Nheless, this was a wake-up call.


    He needed to strengthen the monitoring of the Fairwa project.


    As they walked, Matthew instructed Fernando, “I’ll head back to the hotel first.


    Take care of tying up loose ends here.


    We’ll rendezvous at the hotel entrance before heading back to Seamarsh.


    ”


    “Understood.

    After a grueling two-hour drive, Ste reached Fairwa Hotel at the stroke of ten in the evening.
