Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

"Don't mention it. You helped me too," smiled Luke before he turned to glance at Kastov.
He was no longer talking about the Island of Despair.
Luke knew that Kastov knew much more about the Island of Despair, but he was merely being cautious and therefore, reluctant
to share more about it.
With Kastov's help, his investigation and his goal of wiping out the Island of Despair would surely be within sight.
"Alright." nodded Marcos, raising his glass.
Luke and Kastov followed suit. The three glasses lightly clinked together, making a crisp sound.
On the other hand.
Luca remained in the study room upstairs. She did not plan to go downstairs, she did not want to overheard their conversation.
Most of what they discussed was about Marcos' family. It was better if she did not listen to them.
Luca imported the files sent by Rhett onto her computer and browsed through them.
Her phone, which was placed on the table, vibrated at this moment.
Luca picked it up and glanced at it. It was a message from Amur.
Her heart could not help but tighten at the thought of Amur's situation. Her fingers trembled as she tapped on the phone screen.
[Abel is planning to ask the Mallory family for a ransom.]
Luca clenched her fist. After a while, she replied to his message: [What task did he assign you?]
She knew that since Amur knew what Abel would be doing next, he must be involved in this mission.
Luca was not worried about Pierre, but she was concerned about Amur's safety.
Now that Luke and Jim were helping Percy search for his brother. The risk Amur had to face would be greater.
[He wants a part of the ransom in cash. I'll have to go get it.] replied Amur. It was Abel's latest instruction.

He did not plan to request the Mallory family pay the ransom through depositing the money into his bank account. He wanted his
part in cash instead.
It would be a risky move for Amur, but Abel did not care for his life.
Luca pondered for a moment. Then, she reminded Amur. [The Crawford family and Holston family are helping Percy. Be
careful...]
There was nothing she could do to help Amur.
She was staying by Luke's side now. She was worried that Amur might fall into even greater danger if she helped him.
[I know. They'll notify the Mallory family tomorrow. Then, I'll collect the ransom from them the day after tomorrow.] replied Amur.
Although Abel did not assign him any tasks these days, he was paying close attention to the situation in A City.
Amur also knew that the Crawford family and Holston family were helping Percy.
He understood how dangerous this mission was.
He was at constant risk of exposing his identity.
Amur looked at his phone screen, waiting for Luca's reply. Luca was still typing her message.
He knew that Luca would only offer words of advice and concern.
Amur silently gripped his phone and told himself that he must not reveal his identity. Otherwise Luca's identity would be exposed
too.
Luke would not hesitate to eliminate any potential covert agents by his side.
Therefore, he had to be extra careful. After all, in Luke's eyes, he was Luca's younger brother.
If his true identity was exposed, Luca would also come under suspicion.
Ding Dong. A text message notification.
[You must not stick your nose too far in where it doesn't belong. It's best to have the people from our stronghold in A City to help
you. It's too risky for you to go alone.] replied Luca, nagging him. She thought that Amur's actions could be facilitated with the

help of the people from their stronghold.
[Okay.] replied Amur as his expression darkened.
Abel did not like him because of Luca. If not for his capabilities, he would've been abandoned long ago.
Though that was yet to happen, the tasks Abel assigned him were clearly intended to put him in danger and potentially have him
meet an unfortunate end.
That was why he had no one to help him for this mission.
However, Amur did not want Luca to worry about him. Hence, he chose not to tell her.
...
In the evening.
The three men downstairs had almost finished drinking and took Luca with them to the hotel for dinner.
When they entered the private room, Pierre was sitting with Nina and Jim was with Scarlett.
Scarlett did not bring her child, so the private room was rather quiet.
After they exchanged pleasantries, they sat down and had dinner.
They only discussed matters regarding the business world, and they did not talk about anything else.
After dinner, Luke invited the men to head to another private room to continue their conversation.
Nina rose to her feet, "I saw another private room over there. Luca, Scarlett, why don't we go there? I brought the wedding
sample album from the studio. You can help me choose which style of wedding photos to take."
The studio was owned by a wedding planning company. After Nina had decided on her wedding dress and other details, she told
the studio to follow up on preparations for her wedding photoshoot.
Nina was pleased to see the variety of styles amongst the wedding photos.

She initially wanted to discuss with Pierre and let him choose his favorite styles. However, she did not want to bother him when
she saw how burdened he was with his work and handling Pierre's matter.
"Okay." Luca glanced at Scarlett and they nodded at each other before standing up and walking to the opposite private room.
The ladies' and men's private rooms were opposite each other. It was difficult to hear anything from the end once the door was
closed.
Nina sat on the couch and opened her bag.
She brought a large bag to carry all the sample albums.
She took them out and placed them on the table. Scarlett could not help but exclaim, "So many of them?!" "Yeah. The studio
gave me a huge stack of albums. To be honest, these are the ones I have already picked out." frowned Nina. She was having
trouble making a decision.
"That's a lot." smiled Scarlett fondly.
"You had this many too when you were getting married to Mr. Holston, didn't you? But you were better off than me. At least
you're not having trouble making a decision. Why don't you both take a look at them and help me choose one?"
“Perhaps you could just choose all of them," Luca teased her as she flipped through the albums.
They could have just gone for every style. Even though they were expensive, Percy was not short on money.
"That would be exhausting. Besides, how many days would it take to shoot all of them? Percy is so busy because of that *sshole.
He doesn't have that much time," grumbled Nina. To her friends, Pierre was referred to solely as the *sshole by Nina.
Nina refused to mention his name.
She thought it was inauspicious.
Pierre was a jinx who was always causing trouble, bringing misfortune to those around him.
"It's been several days since Mr. Pierre was kidnapped, right..." asked Scarlett.
Although she had heard of Pierre's ridiculous behavior, she seldom talked to him. That was why she did not harbor such deep
resentment against him unlike Nina.
