Chapter 7

[Igor's Suite]

An intentional smile stayed glued to Maya's face as she took each step closer to the suite like she's here to deliver a death message.

When she arrived at the door, she threw open the door, but before she could go in, Andrei came out.

"Igor is busy, you can't see him" he informed.

Maya relaxed her expressionless face. "I have to book a meeting before I see my brother now?"

"You can come back in an hour." Andrei insisted.

She suddenly reached for his face.

Immediately she touched him, he stepped back, but she pulled him back to herself with a bunch of his shirt, their faces almost touching.

Breaths mixed.

"You know what I like about you? Your bluntness. What if I told you I want you as my bodyguard instead? Would you leave Igor for me?" She whispered, her words hitting his face.

"No." he replied bluntly again.

She released him, pushing him back with her full palm.

"You're garbage," she muttered.

"Thank you" he replied simply.

She relaxed her face again before talking. "The Wild Boars mission, tell him mother handed it to Madden."

Igor stormed out of the suite. "What the fuck did you say? The mission was mine from the beginning!"

"Not my problem," Maya crossed her arms behind herself, walking away.

Igor literally ran off—all the way to the House of Orlovs where the parents office are.

As expected, he met Klara on seat, but Erik is nowhere to be found.

It's even be better cos he's worse than Klara. Klara is the one he wants to talk to anyways.

"What do you mean the mission is taken away from me, mother?"

The woman looked up from the pile of papers in front of her.

She slowly removed her glasses, smiling with her painted lips.

"I thought we made the rule that greetings comes first before any conversation?"

"Don't even talk about rules right now when you're breaking it too! The mission is mine! Take it back from Madden and give it to me!" He yelled.

Klara relaxed, giving him a critical look before speaking again.

"Wild Boars can't be handled with slippery hands like yours. I changed my mind only because I didn't want you to get hurt, Igor."

"But I can do it!! It's been two fucking months since I went for a mission! It's always Madden, Madden! Madden! I feel fucking useless!" He yelled.

"Still not over your jealousy of him?" Klara lifted her brows, her words coming out with much ease.

"Mother!" Igor snapped.

"Out, Igor." she sternly said, her eyes changing.

"Mother—

"Igor!" She hit her palms on the table.

Igor scoffed loudly before storming out of the office.

He was fuming and boiling as he walked away from the house, his palms folded on each side of him.

"I'll destroy you, Madden. Wait for it."

Dinner was taking too long to come even at 5:30,, so Adeline decided to visit the kitchen by herself.

She needed to load herself with enough food before her training will start tonight. She can't risk it.

She was on her way to the kitchen when Malik crossed her.

"What again?" She sighed.

"You managed to get in, Micheal, and it's all good—considering the fact that you'll be dead soon" he said with a toxic, mean smile.

"I'm starting to get tired of the suspense too. When are you killing me?" Adeline faked a scared expression.

Malik e came closer, leaning into her ear. "Watch your back."

He stepped away, and Adeline blinked twice.

She stood there for a moment too long, then she made faces, mocking his expressions.

Beside her, she noticed a blade stuck on the wall—the blade Madden threw at her on her first day here.

She moved closer and removed the blade from the wall.

She checked it out on her fingers like a newly found treasure, but it's so damn sharp and slim, still stained with her blood.

She felt the chills.

He really threw this at her?

What if it gave her a deeper cut?

What kind of human is he?

As if to answer her, Jinx and Poe came out of their residence, hopping in a black sports car together.

Madden joined them, putting on a black leather jacket as he walked towards the car.

Loud talked about Wild Boars mission.Are they going for it now?

He looked her way, and she quickly stood at tension, saluting like a soldier.

She cursed herself for doing that immediately.

Madden got in the car without acknowledging it. He drove out with the girls.

Adeline dropped her hand from her head slowly.

Was that stupid?

Yes.

[A Dock- 9Pm]

The black car pulled to a stop on the rusty ground, and Madden came out with the girls at the same time.

The clan trades with several cartels, and Wild Boars are one of the biggest, so this is not their first meeting, but The Pakhan sensed a wrong click at their end, which is why he sent Madden instead of Igor to avoid unnecessary mishaps.

The two girls stayed on his right and left side respectively.

The sound of the waves crashing against the pier rented the air as he rested on the car, occasionally peeking at the time on his pocket watch.

He's obviously getting impatient.

"I kept wondering why you took Micheal in when he didn't pass. You don't do things without a reason." Poe broke the silence.

"I'll keep the reason to myself—.for now" he replied point-blank.

"He didn't do anything wrong, did he? Are you planning to kill him?" Jinx asked quickly.

Before he could give her a reply, Wild Boars appeared.

They're supposed to be five like their usual number in past meetings, but it's just one man right now.

Madden straightened up, zeroing his eyes till the man got to them.

"Where are the bags?" Madden questioned.

"I'm afraid I'm not here to trade today, I only wanna talk." the bald man replied, adjusting his coat.

Jinx made to attack him, but Madden stopped her with a glare.

She stepped back.

"And you think I'd leave the comfort of my manor and come here to talk?" His dark eyes returned to the man.

"I don't think it's forbidden to talk to your trading partners once in a while. It'll be a harmless talk, in my car." the man tilted a smile.

"Lead the way," Madden answered, and he really did.

The girls tried following too, but a raise of Madden's hand stopped them.

They stayed back beside the car, watching him leave with the man.

He walked behind him, taking each step with glaring nonchalance.

Soon, he saw the man's red car waiting at the other end of the dock.

"I guess you planted your car that far for a purpose," he breathed.

The man turned back to him.

"Yeah, and also because we'll never be entering. The only place you have the right to enter right now is hell. Goodbye, Madden Orlov" he smiled.

Madden looked around.

Just like he suspected, the dock is surrounded by the remaining Wild Boars, all aiming for him with their positioned handguns.

He looked back at their leader in front of him and let out a satanic chuckle before holding his shoulder.

The man froze at the grab, and Madden leaned in.

"I rule hell, motherfucker. Now, go burn." he whispered.

The man's eyes widened as something beeped in his pocket.

Actually, when he was talking to Madden beside the car earlier, Poe slipped a lightweight time bomb in his pocket without his knowledge.

He panicked as he tried to remove it with shaky hands, but immediately Madden stepped back, the bomb exploded, blasting him to smithereens.

His arms, head, legs, intestines...

Everything went scattered on the dock ground.

At the same time, his team surrounding the dock began firing.

Jinx and Poe retaliated almost immediately, bringing them down as bullets began raining like crackers.

Madden got his gun and covered himself with one of the dock pillars, shooting from there and bringing them down too in large numbers.

Jinx and Poe might be the best snipers in the clan, but he taught them. That makes him the brain behind everything.

He's the mastermind of the best, so together, the three gave Wild Boars a freak show. Three minutes later, they all went down, leaving just Madden and his girls at the now bloody dork with bodies lying around them.

"Thanks for telling me to plant the bomb, master." Poe threw her head back in all badassery.

"Their whole cartel should be wiped out, for real." Jinx fumed. Blood of the enemies stained her jaw.

Madden only entered the car, seething with undeniable rage.

The girls joined him, and Poe drove them out of the dork.
