"They are here boss." A guard said and bowed in front of him, he turned to them and the criminals gasped when they saw him.
He ignored them and puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose repeatedly.
"Please sir, we are sorry. We really are sorry, we had no idea the goods were yours, if we had known we wouldn't have touched it, please spare our lives." One of them said and the others cried along, they are four in number and there was no assurance that one of them is going to leave there freely.
The boss turned a guard and dropped the weed in his hands.
"Execute." He ordered and they shot them immediately, he walked past them and walked out of the warehouse.
Logan Griffo is a popular young man who is well known over the country for his multiple companies, products, cars, and estates.
Logan is a twenty-five years old handsome man who lives a very secretive life. As famous as he is no one knows about his private life, all they know is that his name is Logan Griffo and he is one of the richest men in New York and some countries.
Logan is secretly a drug lord, not like if it is well known to the world that he is a drug lord he will be arrested. He has connections all over the police forces and no one dares cross his path.
All the public knows is that he is a ruthless billionaire but in secret he is a drug lord, an assassin and almost a king over Russian lords.
"Boss, we are tracking the ship transporting the goods, it's about to get here." His guard 'Max' said. Rumor spread that Max is his favorite guard but he doesn't show it nor did he say it.
"I don't need that ship anymore, it's useless." He replied and walked into his car.
"Max." He called and Max bowed.
"You guys can have the ship."
"Thank you, thank you so much boss."
Logan ignored them and his chauffeur didn't need to be told it was time for him to start driving which he did immediately.
**********
Lydia walked back into Henry's ward with a smile so he wouldn't get troubled or worried something is wrong with her, she sat on his bed happily and put her hand around his shoulder.
"So Henry, when you get out of here, where do you want to start from?"
"I... I will love to go to college and graduate then get a job and take care of you."
"Awwn, that so sweet."
"And I will buy you a house and a car."
"Thanks, I can't wait."
"What did the doctor say?"
"Oh, he said that you are getting better and all I need to do is just get the money for the surgery early so things won't get worse." She said and blinked repeatedly.
"You are lying Lydia."
"What?"
"Yes, when you lie, you blink rapidly."
"Oh, no I don't." She lied and blinked.
"You just did it again."
"Okay, fine."
"So what did the doctor say?"
"You don't have to worry about it... "
"Just say it."
"He... he said that you are getting worse by the day and you have just a few months left before you die if you don't do the surgery."
"But don't worry, I am working hard every day and so far I have saved over fifty thousand dollars, it will be ready in no time."
"Lydia."
"What?"
"What kind of a job are you doing that made you save over fifty thousand dollars in some months, Lydia what are you doing?"
"Calm down Henry."
"What are you doing Lydia? Are you stealing? Are you stealing to save me?"
"Of course not, am not, please calm down. The doctor said you shouldn't stress yourself."
"What job are you doing?"
"Look, Henry, it doesn't matter, just wait till I get the money."
"I don't want you doing anything that you don't like just to save me, it's better if I die and... "
"No, of course not, you won't die."
"I will save you and we will both be happy okay?"
Henry nodded and she hugged him tightly.
"I know you are doing a bad job but I will let it go because I don't want you crying on me." Henry joked and they both laughed. Lydia brought out her phone from her bag and looked at the time.
"I have to go now but I will be back later."
"When?"
"Just give me an hour or two."
"Okay."
"What should I get you on my way back?"
"Anything you can afford."
"Okay, bye." She hugged him and carried her bag, she walked out of the ward and head out of the hospital.
She took a taxi to the small apartment they had and walked in, she took her bath and got dressed in fresh clothes, she didn't need to pick anything for Henry again cause his bags are in the hospital already.
Her phone suddenly rang and she sighed seeing it was her boss. She picked it up and placed the phone on speaker as she put on her shoes.
"Hello Lydia."
"Hey boss."
"How are you doing?'"
"Am fine, what's up?"
"Nothing much, just come to the hotel."
"But I was just heading to Henry's place."
"This is important, get here."
"Okay then, am on my way." She replied and ended the call, she picked up a smaller bag and walked out of the house.
The club wasn't far from her house so she decided to take a walk.
She finally got to the club and walked in, she walked to her boss's office and entered.
"Lydia." She called with a smile on seeing her.
"Hey." Lydia replied with a smile and sat down.
"You called me and said it is important, what's up? Is everything okay?"
"Of course everything is fine, in fact everything is great." She replied happily and Lydia raised a brow.
"I have a job for you."
"Ugh, I knew it, not interested." Lydia replied and stood up.
"Wait, this one job can save your brother and change your lives for good." She said and Lydia froze.
***THE OLD HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*Staring at my parents all sad and longing for my return made my heart churn and I realized that not everybody got the love I got while growing up. My parents protected me from every little evil the world could offer, what love could be greater than that."I also got to find out out that you both rule the darkest Mafia empire in New York." Mum gasped immediately and I sighed. "I should be so angry that you both kept it away from me but I know you did it for my best. And mom, I think you and Uncle Carlos have to calm the riff between you—""Did he hurt you because of that?" Dad asked immediately and I shook my head, no. "No, dad. He wanted to but he couldn't because..." I looked up at Carlos who had his eyes on me and I decided to swallow my next word. "He didn't hurt me, dad. And well, I also go to find out that he isn't involved with those men who tried to kill Snow." "Is he there with you?" Dad asked and I nodded. "Do you think I should talk with hi
*JUDE'S POV*"No one as ever talked to me so casually and has never questioned me before." He answered and I frowned but nodded. Is he that scary? I sighed out and passed him a small smile which he surprisingly returned with a small smile to and jeez, I was fucking confused about this man. "So... What juice. Majorly, I like pineapple juice." I brought the topic back up and he clapped his hands once with a jolly smile on and I don't know if I should be freaked out or not because Marcus was fucking terrified."I actually don't take juice... I got addicted to liquor over the years." He told me and I rubbed my heart immediately. "I know, it burns the heart and all but that doesn't count to a soul who has no inch of love in it and beside, liquor now tastes like juice." He answered and I shook my head in disbelief then laugh-scoffed.I stood up from my seat and walked around the table to the refrigerator, I opened it and brought out all the juice in it. I returned to the slab and picked ou
***OLD HOUSE, MIAMI***"If you want me to, father." He answered and the Maniac nodded but the little smile at the edge of his lips didn't go unnoticed by me. Why did he smirk? That's question had been roaming in my head ever since I entered the extravagant room while this Marcus's lookalike sat in the corner of the room with his legs raised up and his head in-between, I sighed out loudly but then frowned when I heard him sniff. "Hey, hey, are you... Crying?" I asked dumbly and moved towards him only to scream out in agony as I felt a sharp blade cut my forearm skin. I gasped when I realized that it wasn't blade but a sharp knife. "The fuck, bro. Ah." I yelped out and collected the knfie from him. "Did he tell you to do it? Was that why he smirked? Did he tell you to kill me?" I asked in a whisper but he only stared at me with a painful expression and a quivering lip.I hissed, stood up, and made my way into the bathroom where luckily, a first aid kit lied. "I really miss mom right
***PRIVATE JET****JUDE'S POV*Oh God, I just had a bad dream that I was kidnapped from my home. My eyelids parted slowly and I felt a sharp pain in my head but it went just as it came. I tried to stretch out my hands when I discovered that I couldn't move. My eyes looked down at my hands and I frowned at the thick ropes I was tied with. "The fuck." I cussed out as I stared around just to see that I was in a jet, in the freaking air."Keep your mouth shut, we're trying to sleep." A female's voice came from the side and I turned sharply to access her. She sat with her legs crossed but she looked 5ft8 just like my mum but her cream golden hair was tied in a lower bun while she coveredx the rest up with a black face cap which matched her jumpsuit. She glanced at me and I felt her sharp cold eyes bore into my soul. "Fuck you!" I told her with a good smirk and I knew I hit the bottom because I saw her hands twitch and hands wrap into a fistbut she didn't make the move to hit me which gav
***THE GUEST HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*I walked into the house excitedly, ready to announce to mum that my best friend is back but just as I stepped into the sitting room, I stopped. "Hey, baby." Mom came out of the kitchen and walked towards me and I frowned. "Why is dad's cologne so strong in here as if he was here?" I asked as my dad's cologne radiated in the room, especially from mum's favorite couch. Mom stopped immediately at my words and I stared at her with a frown, she looked taken aback at my question but she pouted after."I, I was the one that spray his smart collection all over the room... I just... I just miss him." Her sad voice was the least I could ever want. Seeing my mom tear or hearing her voice change to a sad one makes my heart churn in a very harsh way. I advanced towards her quickly and embraced her. "It's okay, it's okay to miss your husband. I miss him too, I miss dad so much... His cologne around the house is good. I like it." I said, trying my best to comfort
***THE GUEST HOUSE****LYDIA'S POV*"Tell me everything!" I ordered and she began to spill everything that happened at the Thomas's clan with me and I smirk. "That dummy is just blinded by lust. And to believe that he could protect anyone from me is so sick of him." I shook my head in disbelief and she chuckled."I know right..." She chuckled and I smiled. "And boss, I saw the guy you described to me there... He's like the right hand man to Thomas and he was so suspicious of me. I think he saw through too." She reported and my brows creased into a frown. "Put on the act... He's not a threat." I answered cooly and she hummed. "Go to sleep, Ruby so that you won't miss your flight tomorrow. Work starts tomorrow." "Yes, boss. Thank you for the second chance." She replied and I hum quietly then disconnected the call. It is so obvious that Thomas is dumb but Odger won't be so I have to tie this knot and plan this harder. I quickly sent everything to my husband, he'll definitely know the b
