Michael decided to chase after Iryna but his pride got him worked up and besides, the lady was walking around with gunmen. He looked at the men standing at the wall. He was sure that all of them were wearing expensive handmade suits, and they wouldn't bat an eye to fill anyone with holes if they got too close to Iryna.
"Damn!" Michael cursed.Marcus had been livid after the meeting. He had refused to say any word and had left without them."Father is such a drag," Audrey hissed by his side. She wrapped her arms around Michael's. "Let's go home, we don't need to stay here anymore."Michael looked down at Audrey and almost frowned. He closed his eyes and resigned himself to her. She hadn’t even realized that the only reason why he rushed out was that he had hoped to catch up with Iryna and not Marcus."Let's go home, we will discuss about it tomorrow," Michael said.Audrey ordered a taxi since they didn’t bring their cars.“Did you know that girl was connected to my father’s benefactor?” Audrey asked as the car took them home.She had been thinking about it since they went into that meeting and she laid her eyes on Iryna. How could that dirty brat be so lucky? She didn’t deserve all of those riches as she couldn’t even manage them –Audrey thought as she waited for Michael’s response.“I had no idea,” Michael whispered.He was also lost in thoughts of his own. He was already thinking of ways to get to Iryna. The girl was in love with him. Surely, all that love wasn’t dead yet. He should be able to milk something from it.Women couldn’t resist him, he thought with a smile.“She is acting all prim and proper now, she should wait for my dad. He is going to deal with her so much, she will have nothing left to show off about!” Audrey hissed.Michael stared at her wondering if she was just plain stupid or if something was medically wrong with her.“How do you think your dad will deal with her?” he scoffed.Audrey looked at him sharply as she thought of a perfect answer but soon realized there was none. But she refused to give up.The car fell silent till they got home. Michael developed a headache from thinking too much. The moment he showered he didn’t even bother eating, he went straight to bed.He woke up the next day with the pain still present in his head. He called the office and informed them he wouldn’t be coming, and that Audrey was around to keep him company. He walked to the living room and settled into a sofa as he waited for Audrey to order something for them to eat.Michael tried reaching Marcus but the old man wasn’t taking his calls. This was starting to get at him and his mood slowly turned sour that morning.Audrey wasn’t interested in going to work either. She also had a rough night. She still couldn’t believe Iryna was Mr. Walter’s wife."Quite a shocker it was to discover that Mr. Walters' wife would turn out to be that scum bag," Audrey repeated the moment she came out of the bedroom and joined Michael on the sofa.The large living room was laid with the best portraits on the wall. Each painting could be screaming thousands of dollars.Audrey noticed that Michael was eerily silent. His hair was a mess on his face, it was the first time that he looked like this in front of her."What is wrong baby?" Audrey asked with concern."We won't be getting a raise, and your father won't pick up my calls," Michael hissed. He sounded quite grumpy at ten in the morning."That is okay, we would just have to devise a plan, it doesn't really affect us. And the company is doing really great," Audrey squeezed his shoulder but Michael sat up immediately."You don't get it, I am not getting my raise. Other models are making decent millions and I am still struggling to make five hundred thousand a month!" Michael glared at her.How stupid could she get? He was very sensitive that morning and her dumb brains irritated him!Audrey knelt on the sofa and wrapped her arms around his chest from the back. "But honey, that doesn’t-""Get the fuck away from me!" Michael exploded.To Audrey, he had turned from the prettiest thing in the world to a vicious monster, he looked as if he would eat her. "Baby what is wrong? Did I do anything wrong?" Audrey complained."Just stay away from me, enough with your baby, baby!" Michael yelled.At this point, his mind was made up. He had to break up with Audrey, maybe that was the only way for him to get back with Iryna. He was sure that Iryna still had deep feelings for him which would explain why she was punishing Marcus. And the fact that she had deliberately not talked directly at him yesterday showed it. He had a chance with her."Michael, you are breaking my heart, talk to me," Audrey sobbed. She tried to come closer to Michael but he glared at her."I am done with you. You are just some spoiled airhead that doesn't know her left from right. I am not sure that we can have a future when one of us clearly doesn't even know how to balance accounts!" Michael spat out.Audrey gasped at him. She couldn't believe what she had just heard, he had called her an airhead."Did you just call me an airhead? A brat?” she asked as her fingers trembled.“Oh please, I am trying to be civil here. You are dumb Audrey!”“You know what? FUCK YOU!" Audrey threw the nearest vase at him but Michael was quick with his reflexes as he narrowly dodged it."The fuck? Do you want to break my face you crazy bitch?" Michael hid at the back of a table for cover."GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" She grabbed anything she could lay her hands on and threw it at him but Michael was quick to exit the room."Shit!" Audrey yelled and started crying. She crashed to the floor and sobbed uncontrollably.Michael walked quickly to his car and kept on glancing behind, making sure that Audrey wasn't following him."Crazy bitch," he cursed as he went to his car.He hadn't expected her to react like that, he had expected her to beg for him to stay. Well, either way, it still didn't change the fact that his plan was already in motion.Michael smiled and dragged his hair backward, he was going to make Iryna fall for him again and he would have even more money. Iryna still looked ugly compared to him but he would live with that as long as she showered him with her millions.The court had been swift in declaring Marcus and Michael's verdict.Michael had hired a hot-shot criminal lawyer that lied like fuck during the entire hearing. The man was so good that he had almost even convinced everyone at the hearing that his client Michael was innocent, but the evidence was just too much against him.Marcus had been sentenced to ten years in prison with light labor in a penitentiary in California.Michael was sentenced to twenty-one years in prison, with hard labor and no parole. His modeling career was over, his life was over as it stood."Mark my words, you will pay for this!" Michael had said to Iryna when he was being thrown in a van."It should get old by now, shouldn't it?" Lucien waved him away at the court.Amanda Walters was still being held by the FBI, and it looked like it would remain like that for a while.The FBI wanted to fish out all information about the Mafia network in Latin America.Tyrese's charred body was later recovered.It was discovered
The sound of helicopters got closer and panic started spreading among the gangs and Mafia lords that surrounded the empty cars."The FBI!" Someone screamed.Government-issued SUVs pulled up and FBI SWAT teams were already over the place, holding their guns at them. They were completely surrounded.Michael gritted his teeth and dropped his phone. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" He screamed. "Why does this always happen to me!"The FBI team wasted no effort in apprehending all the Mafia and gang members.The mission was possible because of two things, one, the FBI had come in massive numbers and had surrounded their enemies. Two, because of their magnificent entree, the enemy was too overwhelmed to act that they had suddenly given up their will to fight."Drop your weapons and go down on your knees, order of the bureau!" someone said on a loudspeaker."Fuck this!" Michael dragged Amanda and kicked Marcus out of his way. He ran forward to a nearby vehicle, but he was stopped by agents.Amanda tried
"Sir, the plane has landed," the intercom buzzed.Michael was seated inside a black limousine and sipped wine from his cup."Any sign of them?" He asked after he had put his glass down."Yes, they are stepping out of the plane," the intercom buzzed again."Jesus, New Orleans is so cold at this time of the year," Amanda shivered as she entered the car. "So this is the United States," Amanda looked out of the window at the high-rise buildings in the Central Business District."The target has landed, the plan is being kicked into motion," Michael said."Good, they will be heading to the mansion, and we will cut them off in that location you mentioned," Amanda held Michael's chest and began drawing circles."What are you doing?" Michael suddenly asked.Amanda came up and kissed Michael on the lips, short and fast."What was that for?" Michael asked as blushes developed on his cheek."That is just part one, I will give you the rest when we are done with them," Amanda whispered in his ears.
Iryna's eyes felt like lead when she woke up. She was in and out of sleep for the past eight hours. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. The bandages on her hands made them feel even sore.She looked out of the window and all she saw was water, from a bird's eye view. They were on their way to The United States... home."You were out for quite a long," a deep voice spoke.Iryna turned in the direction of the voice and saw Lucien sitting on a chair on the other side. IV lines were there and he wore a blanket over his legs. He looked better now, and his wounds had been tended to."Gosh," Iryna rubbed her eyes and yawned. "How are you doing, Lucien?" Iryna asked. She stretched and heard a few bones bop in her shoulders."Never been better," Lucien laughed. "The doctor said it was a miracle I was alive. My liver has been grazed, plus a lot of other internal blood vessels," he said with a smile. "Seems like I will be out for months," Lucien chuckled."Just rest up," Iryna told him. She looked o
Michael was getting irritated where he was. All of a sudden, the cops were showing up in large numbers, and Amanda was nowhere to be found."Alright boys, let's round this up!" Michael spoke out.The men all stopped and looked at him."I know, I am not your boss, but I can't seem to find Amanda anywhere and the police are coming, so we will have to ditch this place and run," Michael explained.He expected Amanda to do just fine, besides she was crazy enough to save him from the FBI that day. She would save herself."Where is Amanda?" One of the men asked. "We can't leave without her," he looked around. There was a murmuring passing among the group."For Christ's sake! It is almost morning, we have to go," Michael pointed at the sky.The sun was just On the horizon, it was just seconds away from sunrise. There was no time to wait around anymore."Michael!" Amanda suddenly appeared from behind a vehicle and she limped heavily.Her Kawasaki bike was oddly naked and there were a few crazy
Amanda stood up and stepped forward. Her left leg side roared with pain from her contact with the ground after that stunt with the van. There was a bruise on her forehead, but nothing she couldn't handle.Amanda picked up a bat that lay on the floor and smiled. She walked in the direction of the van.Iryna was the first to open her eyes. She let out a cough. Her legs hurt, but she could still feel and move them.She looked around and saw that the door at the back was missing. She felt fear develop in her and turned towards Lucien. He was still breathing, but he was knocked unconscious after the van turned over. Reynold was also unconscious, but his breathing was becoming raspy.Iryna looked at the front, and she saw Selena dangling from her seat belt upside down, the wound on her head looked very bad, and she could already tell that the driver was in an even worse state.Iryna tapped Selena's face. "Selena, Selena, wake up," there was a response, the twitching of facial muscles and so
