Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1154

"Mrs. Cedillo really knows her stuff," Aimee remarked as she strolled through the garden with Mia. "Those two guys are hitmen from the Dark Web, which is this shady platform where all sorts of illegal stuff goes down. When Patrick was talking, I picked up on it. The guy who tried to take out my brother-in-law yesterday? Also a Dark Web hitman. Turns out, he knows my bodyguard too."

Mia squinted slightly, "Dark Web? Like the underworld?" Greg? Internet, computers...

"What was that?" Aimee asked, not catching what Mia said.

Mia shook her head, "Oh, nothing." She mulled over the idea, wondering if Leo’s comment that night hinted at Greg being tied to the Dark Web.

"We're here," Aimee said, pointing to the basement. She went ahead, talking to the two guards in a way Mia couldn't quite understand. But it was clear from Aimee’s hands-on-hips stance and stern look, "Since when did the Hernandez family start following orders from anyone but my Patrick, ignoring what I say?"

The guards lowered their heads, staying silent.

Aimee waved Mia over, "Mrs. Cedillo, this way."

Mia caught up, "Is your husband the only one who can handle you?"

"Oh, how’d you guess? Is it the same at your place?"

Mia nodded, "Not just at my place. Let's swap numbers later. I’ve got a drama queen at home who only listens to her Chad too."

Aimee chuckled, "Looks like we have a lot to chat about."

As they entered the basement, they were met with the sight of a man, battered and bloodied, chained to a pillar, clearly having gone through some rough treatment, now unconscious.

Mia wanted to check for any identifying marks to confirm her hunch, without resorting to violence...

Suddenly, Ms. Aimee tossed a bucket of scalding hot water right at the hitman.
