The CEO's Painted Skin

She rode a taxi towards the public market which was thirty minutes drive from the Infinity Jade Tower.

In the market, she enjoyed perusing fresh vegetables and herbs, then she moved on to the seafood's section were fresh selections of fish and prawns are on display. She spends a few minutes inside the meat section checking if the meat were fresh. She feels hungry all of a sudden, she exited the market and entered a fast-food restaurant nearby and ordered her favorite burger with fries and a large soft drinks.

She relaxed a bit inside the fast food.

A few minutes later, she exited the fast-food restaurant and returned to the market. She goes back to the vegetable section, seafood's, and meat section to buy all the ingredients she needed for her special dishes for tomorrow.

At 6:30 PM, she was done with her grocery and exited the public market to hire a taxi that will bring her home to Infinity Jade Tower.

Outside the public market, the darkness already descending.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.comfor visiting.

Most of the taxi cab was occupied with passengers inside.

A few minutes later, Catherine was finally able to hire a taxi, the driver wearing an eyeglass opened the car's compartment to place her purchases inside.

The driver went inside the driver's seat and turn the key to start the engine. He turned his head to look at his passenger. "Where to, Ma'am?"

Catherine gave the driver her address.

Five minutes later the taxi was already moving away from the vicinity of the public market.

Catherine fixed her eyes on the road excited to go home and see baby James again.

A few minutes later, the taxi suddenly parked a few meters away near the gasoline station. The driver looked at Catherine. "Miss, can I take a pee in the gasoline station for a few minutes, please?"

Catherine nodded.

The driver opened the car's door and left something below the driver's seat. It's an open bottle...

He locked the car and proceed towards the toilet of the gasoline station and took a pee in the restroom.

While inside the car...

Catherine was already struggling to breathe inside the taxi...there is something in the air inside the car, a suffocating smell of a chemical...she tried to open the door but it's locked and she feels her hands were getting weaker...weaker... until she fell unconscious and slumped in the passenger seat.

Inside the toilet, the taxi driver was done urinating.

His phone beep, he received a text message, he swipes at his phone and read the text message.

'The ship leaves the port at 9:00 tonight, we need your goods, be at the dock before 9:00 hurry up!'

He replied with... "okay"... and put his phone back in the pocket of his jacket. He lingered inside the toilet for a few minutes.

By now the woman he abducted was already knocked out in the passenger seat and it will be another 8 hours before she will regain her consciousness and by that time she will be traveling along with another kidnap women aboard a private cargo ship heading to another country.

Unlike another big-time human trafficking syndicate, he was just part of a small-time human trafficker that deals with a personal request from wealthy clientele from abroad that likes to have their sex slaves, they were the sadistic type of millionaires, the wolfs in sheep's clothing. One of their biggest clients so far likes to keep his harem of five beautiful women replenishes every two years. He kept his sex slaves inside his basement and he loves to do all kinds of torture with them. Once the girls entered that dungeon they will never come out alive.

Their operation occurs once every two years only, the paycheck was quite big enough, more than enough for them to stay lie low until the next request. Once they fulfill their clients' request, they rest and enjoy the good life with their families and only resume abducting women if they got contacted again by their leader.

The small circle of human traffickers he was involved with have been doing this kind of crime for the last 10 years, abducting different women from all over the country by any means making sure all their tracks were fully covered without a trace.

He checked the time on his phone.

It's now time to go!

Time to deliver his goods into the port...the port he was going to was a privately owned harbor without the customs usual presence. They operate in silence with 100% precision, leaving no trail behind after each successful abduction.

He got out of the toilet and walked casually towards his taxi. Today, he will be able to earn big money again with another successful operation. He will work for another 10 years with his partners in crime and then save money for retirement.

He opened the car's door wide enough to let the air evaporate outside, he picked up the bottle and close the lid and slid into the driver's seat. He was about to insert the car keys and start the engine but when he looked for the woman's presence in the passenger seat, there is no one there! Holy Shiit! He fidgeted in the seat, feeling agitated.

WTF!?

Where is she?

Dammit, where is she!?

She can't get out of the car, she will still be unconscious until this moment!

He began to panic.

No matter how many times he stared at the passenger's seat he can't find the woman there!

Damn!

It's either she was able to escape on her own or she got taken away....by whom?

He knew he can't stay in this place for a long time, the cops might already be on their way to catch him.

Time to disappear and cover his tracks!
