MasukLazar’s POV“Where is Trevor?” My hands were tight around his neck and I didn’t stop squeezing.He was trying to mutter a word that could only mean ‘please’. “That’s not what I asked you!” I smacked him across the face again followed by a punch to the stomach. He groaned in pain but I ignored it.We were at one of my abandoned warehouses. We left a traumatized Janet at the motel and brought Jero here for torturing. He was our only sure lead as to where Trevor could be right now. I let go of his neck and he began gasping loudly for air. “You’re going to get yourself killed, Asshole. Just give me the information I need.”He started shaking his head vigorously. “I told you. I don’t know anything about this. Just let me go. Maybe, then I can actually help you but right now, I can’t do anything from here.”His statement triggered me and I didn’t realize when I landed a blow directly on his nose. It must have cracked because of the crunching sound I heard followed by the trickle of blood
Lazar’s POVI wasn’t a monster. Not at all. Unfortunately, very unlucky situations have pushed me into doing some very dark things.“We are nearing the close, Sir. It’s not heavily guarded…just a few CCTV cameras.”“Take them out,” I ordered and he got to work immediately.“Sir, there’s no need. Someone already disabled them,” Crow said through the mic.“Someone must have broken in. Scope the area!” I was up and out of the van in seconds.There was no way I was letting someone else punish these fools first. No one was beating me at this game!“Sir, we believe there are people inside the mansion,” Crow muttered quietly when I caught up to him.“Then what are you waiting for?” I spat at him. “I’m right behind you!”The house had also been broken in by someone confirming the intel that we had gotten earlier. How stupid of Jero to come back to the same house that had already been compromised? This job was now way too easy for me. I found myself getting bored but then I had to stay focused
Miriam’s POV“What do you mean she sent you a text?” Sara scoffed. “What does she expect you to do?”“I don’t know but that bitch and her mother has some nerve contacting me.”She took my phone from my hands and read the text again, as if trying to find something that she didn’t see the first time.“If you notice, she sounded very desperate. It’s almost as if she didn’t think before telling you,” Sara said.We were talking about the text messages I got from my stepmother. Why on earth did she think I would be interested in knowing that Janet had gone into labor? Was she not aware of the terrible things Janet did to my family and I?Just then, the door opened and Elizabeth came into the room. She looked very angry and I knew why. When I told her what happened, she blew up immediately.“Your step-family will be taken care of very soon. Don’t worry. I just contacted Lazar and he’s going to make sure they don’t ever bother you again.”“Thank you,” I told her, meaning it from the depths of
Janet’s POVI wasn’t sure if I was unconscious or not. It felt like eternity, lying there on the ground with no one to help me. I was in a weird state. The metallic smell that hung heavily in the air indicated that I was bleeding.“My God!” Someone yelled from beside me. “What happened here?”I couldn’t see who the person was but thankfully, they seemed to want to help me. I tried telling them what happened but my mouth wouldn’t move or produce words.“Don’t worry. I’ll get you to the hospital. I promise, I will!” That was the last thing I heard before I gave into the darkness.When I would open my eyes again, I was in the operating room. Seeing myself surrounded by doctors scared me a lot. I looked down and saw that there was a demarcation from the lower half of my body.“What is happening?” I muttered but no one heard me.One of the doctors noticed that I was awake and I don’t know what he did but I was back into unconsciousness in a matter of minutes.***“Janet!” It was my mother
Janet’s POVJero had taken me out to celebrate after the successful mission. I wasn’t opposed to it at all. Apart from when I took myself out, I hadn’t been on a date in a very long time.“Are you having a nice time?” His gruff voice asked and I smiled and nodded.“Yeah. This restaurant is really nice.”“You deserve nothing but the best, my love. Not many women can do the things you did.”“You flatter me.” I knew his words were true. I put my life and marriage at risk just to help him. Even though it was satisfactory to know that Miriam was getting everything that she deserved, there was still a niggling feeling at the back of my mind telling me that I was not really making the right choices.I tried my best to ignore it but it was hard. This morning, I had to lie to Williams that I was going to my mother’s place and I wouldn’t be back until the weekend was over. He barely acknowledged what I told him. I couldn’t even blame Jero because I was going to shit even before I met him.“Are
Miriam’s POVI messed up big time. I was so angry at myself but I was even more mad at whoever it was that hated me so much, they decided to expose my secret.“Do you think you know who it might be?” I asked them as we stared into the phones over and over again.“It has to be him. Who else could it be?” Anita asked, referring to Trevor.Even though I knew how big of a role he had played in disrupting all of our lives lately, I had a feeling in my gut that it wasn’t him this time around. It would have been so easy to pin all of my problems on him but I needed to be sure of this one first.“You actually have more haters than you think, Miriam. This is work related. Do you think it’s someone that you know personally?”I racked my brain trying to think of who it could be but I drew a blank. All of the people that came to mind would never actually believe that I could pull off something like that.“Why did you choose such a lifestyle, if you don’t mind me asking?” Sara crossed her arms as
Lazar’s POVThe warehouse smelled like steel, oil, and the faint sweetness of oak crates. It was a familiar smell I was used to ever since I was a child.The memory of my dad explaining how the business runs flashed across my mind, but that felt like ages ago.I watched as my men moved like machine
Miriam’s POV I could not meet his gaze. It felt like I was having a stand off with a lion.He said he was a mere carpenter but he gave off the vibes of a mafia lord no one would want to mess with.“Well…I can't remember any of that.” I lied. I remember it well. How I was going about saying I was
Miriam’s POV My head was banging like crazy. It felt like the whole room was spinning.“Ughhhhh” I groaned into the pillow trying to catch my breath.Every single part of my body aches like I had been hit by a truck. But then I realised I was home. How did I get home?I sat up from the bed and im
Lazar's POV The meeting with Raneesh was just like I expected, he lied to me, making me seem like a fool.“You know Raneesh, one thing I hate the most aside from stealing is lies. I hate when people lie to me. I will give you a chance to clean up whatever mess you started or all hell will break loo
