I looked at Leo with pain and anger in my eyes, not for him but for the person or group of persons who have done this to humiliate me. At this point every damn soul was a suspect. “You can’t take that risk for me Leo, you are your mother’s only child and I don’t want any tragedy to befall her. At the moment I have just come out of one and I had to pay a huge amount of money for compensation”, I told him vaguely but the young man shook his head at me. For the first time since I hired him he was going against my orders.Flashing him another disapproving look to see if he was going to give up on his death wish but he rolled his eyes and looked out the window like he didn’t really care what the heck I was talking about.“You know this mission is deadly right? You haven’t held a gun in your entire life, how do you even intend to help?” I asked him and he looked at me with purpose and faith.“Boss I already told you have a good background in Martial arts, I can help so come on let's go get
I paused, shocked at the revelation my assistant Leo had just given me. “Is this a joke or some sort of prank?” I asked him as the anger within me began to rise to a boil.“No—no sir, I can never take your peace of mind for granted. It’s the truth. I am telling you the truth. I just got the information and just now it’s being announced on the news” he was trembling even his voice could tell he didn’t want me to cast my wrath on him. He picked up the remote and turned the TV to the CNN station.The headlines came right on time with my son’s photo on it. “The Salvatore heir has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen from his school” my hands began to tremble, my eyes twitched with the uncertainty of what would become of my son if I don’t take action.“No, not under my watch”. I was fuming, confused and detached from every other thing I had to do. “It happened along the western road sir, towards hills drive, only Spider had gone to pick him up since Dragon and the others were assigned to gua
Before she was done talking Christian did the transfer to her account. First when heard the soft beep once in her phone and then she took a pause to look at it.“Done Tyler spoke to the mafia lord. Wait, hold on a second” the woman said and when she confirmed the alert she screamed into the phone that we all her to shift our ears away from the cringe sound for a while. I mean who wouldn’t take an offer like that for the death of a man who never really cared about her and her sons. “I believe you’ve gotten the money?” Tyler asked to be sure she gave the response with her mouth this time.“Of course I just did. I mean this is huge, thank you so much. I promise no one would hear about this”“Good girl” Tyler winked at me as we all listened to the lady receive a huge sum of money to stay quiet about her husband’s death. I already knew she was a lawyer and she could go crazy if she wanted to, so I made sure Tyler left her a little threat.“No one must hear about this else you would leave
We knew everything was going to end up like this from the beginning. Christian showed up at the warehouse. Tyler grabbed a seat quickly and sat his butt in it. Christian did the same with a grin on his face.“Well, I have good new boss”“Okay, go ahead Christian all we need at this point it’s only good news and nothing more. I just want all of this saga to end”, I told them with a serious look, and I meant every word that came out of my mouth. A few files on the table staring back at me unattended. “Yes, so boss, I found out the late officer's wife is about to move out but I am not even sure where. From the information I gathered she had been asked to evacuate the home because she can’t meet up with all the bills”.“This is the best opportunity for us, we need to let her know we are helping her in some way”, Tyler spoke, his bulgy eyes roaming in their socket.“Okay. Fine. We need to call her then and we also need to give her our terms and condition”, I was specific with what I wante
We drove as fast as we could to the hospital. The doctors ran helter-skelter to make sure my grandfather was stable at least. At the reception we sat down alongside a host of others, those I could guess alas had their loved ones in the emergency room or even worse. Just as we were there hoping for good news. Another doctor worked up to a man sitting by my side. His eyes were red from hours of crying aye I wasn't sure. He tapped the man on the shoulder and told him something we couldn't hear and suddenly the man broke down into hot tears. He first sprang up to his feet and held the doctor by his shirt. The words failed to come out yet he struggled and managed to mumble a few.“Where is my wife?” The doctor looked him straight in the eye and said again. “I'm sorry, she's gone” The man couldn't take it anymore. He held his hand in his head and screamed and just as he was gasping for breath and words, the nurses rolled his dead wife out of the room.“Where are you taking? Why is she cove
The nurse greeted us and held the door for us to pass.“Good day Ms. Ricci, good to see you here after weeks. How are you doing”“I'm fine, Abigail. How's grandpa?” I asked as I walked in through the space she made for us between the door and the frame. “He's just there, surviving”. She answered. She greeted Maria and led us into the living room. The entire hall smelt of grandpa's drugs and medications. The strong sterile smell stuck in the air yet we didn't mind. I strolled over to the room hurriedly. Maria joined without waiting to be asked because she wanted to see him as well.Grandpa's house was not the regular fancied place. He decided to keep his old decor, not letting his son touch a pin because he still wasn't happy with him.“Giuliana?” His voice was weak and faint. From where I was standing I could tell he was struggling to speak but had to because his favourite was in the room.“Papa, you okay?” I asked him as I leaned over to press a kiss on his sagging skin. His cheeks
