Everything was going as planned. Reports were good and figures were doing great. At the moment there's been no need for fight and betrayal. The last of the team mates I was sure had my back anytime and none of them.was going to betray me anytime soon. Reading the memo Leo sent to my email for any corrections, a cup of coffee by the side and the leftover toast from the usual breakfast I took. Leo walked into this time without knocking, he had been here about two times and this time he didn't see the need to inform me he was coming in. “You know knocking on that door won't take a strand of hair from your head right?” I asked him without raising my head. It was a rhetorical question that doesn't deserve an answer.“I'm sorry boss”. He bowed as he said the words to me.“What's that in your hands?” I asked with focus on the brown envelope he carried.“It's a package and I have no idea who sent it. It came from the delivery man for your sir” he answered calmly. For the past two weeks I ha
After the whole charade at the office, I decided to stop by a bar to get a couple of drinks before heading home. The bar wasn't filled with many people, however there were a couple of people having a good time on the side.“Hey, Billy, can I get a drink?”. I waved at the bartender from the table I was sitting just by the corner. He smiled, giving me a sharp nod. The color lights cascading their beautiful shades on our faces and body. The chandeliers hung in the nicely crafted ceilings. I played with my phone and hoped no one would call to interrupt my most quiet moment. Soon the bar came with a bottle of Whiskey and a glass.“Don't worry man, I got this”, I held his hand gently and he bowed with a smile to welcome my help.“You haven't stopped by in a while. Do you need some soup to cool off? The weather is a little bit chilly. The season is fast approaching”.I laughed hard “You know so much about the seasons don't you?” I asked him and he looked me straight in the eye.“You know I h
The next thing after closing a huge deal is celebrations right? Well the Linet Multi-million dollar deal finally hit my email the night after we took Marcus off. I have chased this deal for months and this time we came clean with all the paperworks, yet to see the main guys in person but they were convinced to work with us with just the online booked meetings we all attended. As I smiled on my way out of the house. I knew there was something off about it. It was unusually calm and quiet, something that hasn't been known since Belinda showed up.Matter of fact Enzo had reported to his station and from the reports we've got he's got his hand on deck this time. My tie laid perfect on my neck as I got off the stairs in my fine grey suit.“Good morning son”. My mother greeted calmly, she had the tiny tea cup held in both hands up against her chest.“Good morning Mother. Hope you slept well?” I asked her to put my suitcase on the table.“Yeah, I did. Care for some coffee? I made an extra”.
News of Mr. Cole's death had spread around the entire city. Nathan was well and recuperating on the bed while Kiara and I sat on the couch. Sharon was with Gio in the private home I had put them in just to keep my son safe. I mean no one would know I did it but I had to protect my child first from anything that might occur just in case. This isn't Sicily and things are done very smoothly and orderly here. Thankfully there were no CCTV cameras in his office or the corridor leading to his office so no one will ever suspect besides it's a lounge section anyone could have done it and ran off. We were just laughing about something funny when the news came on again with Mr. Cole's face on the screen and then a picture of another guy who had been declared wanted.Kiara gave me a blank stare, I couldn't just read what was in her heart but I could tell she despised Mr. Cole and men like him just like I did.“Who's that guy?” I asked, quite oblivious about who he was and why he was being assoc
Wheels screeching through the express, my cartel and I drove off to the borders waiting for them. Marcus and his gang planned a sabotage after agreeing to stay with us on the deal. Same client, same bargain yet he thinks he can outsmart us. Signal had already reached us that he would be on the run tonight and we are ready to finish the deal on our way. Illegally of course. He had first threatened to spill out secrets to the authorities and I won't let that happen under my watch. Traitors are meant to be where they should be isn't it? “Increase the speed of the Dragon”. I told him, he was in the steering of my truck. While Spider sat in the front driver's seat I was behind giving the orders as it should.“Go faster. We can't miss him”. “Yes boss”. He increased the speed until we got to the lonely beach. Marcus was standing right at the Jetty with the two large brief cases filled with money. The moment he saw our car corner him he froze. He was meant to take the private boat out of to
After we left the scene she turned to face me with fear in her eyes.“Where are you taking me? I don't even know you”.I continued driving without looking at her for a second.“Trust me kid this is for your own good”. I answered her almost in a chalant way. She wiped off the tears that filled her eyes and looked out the window.“Look I know this is going to sound really foolish but I saw what he did. I could tell that not you but you don't have a choice than do what he wants from you. This is a game”.“I know that but this is my life and I feed from this because nobody ever cares about me or about my brother. Stop the car!” Her tone was loud, rude and resistant.I rolled my head in a circular motion but continued to drive the car without any attempt to stop.“I said, stop the damn car!” She yelled again.“Look kid, we can't do that now. It's not safe. At least not for me but for you. I am doing this to protect you”.She snapped the moment she heard these words. “I don't need your help.
