Micheal clenched his first, his jaw clenched, he was furious and was feeling hot out of the news. He wanted to smash something and relay his anger on it.

How can Kathie abandon him for that monster, that bastard that was responsible for him being put behind bars for a long time? He was swelled up in anger.

He squeezed the glass bottle tightly attempting to smash it with bare hands, Jaden was scared that he would bring people's attention to them.

“Where the hell is the wedding taking place?” he finally asked through gritted teeth, his eyes clouded in rage.

Jaden cleared his throat, “I think you should calm down Michael, you are getting yourself worked up” Jaden was concerned over his friend's well-being, it was not up to an hour he was released, seeing him devastated was clenching his heart.

Micheal smashed his hand on the table, which made a harsh sound and attracted the nearby neighbour's attention. Jaden's heart skipped.

“Jaden, Where the hell is the wedding taking place?!” he raised his voice, maybe screaming will let his best friend know that he was agitated and was about it.

“Fine fine, I don't know where the wedding is taking place, I just know that she is getting married today” he lied. Micheal was burning in anger, he was afraid that if he revealed the place, Micheal might cause a scene. He knows his best friend and what he is capable of doing.

Also, he was afraid of the people that Michael is fighting against, they are rich and powerful, they can turn Micheal from human to ant within a fleeting second. He was scared of putting his best friend's life in line, he rather lies to him than watch him destroy his life.

Jaden thought that fighting them wasn't worth it.

“You know you can start something new and forget those people, I mean they are not worth your time and energy, we've been through hell because of them and affray towards them might end you somewhere bad again” Jaden tried to convince him, “maybe a worse place”

Micheal scoffed.

“This is a new Michael, not the old one, Jaden. You think I will settle for less?” 

“Now, can you at least lend me your phone?” 

Jaden sighed out of frustration, he tried his best. He handed him his smartphone.

Micheal dialled a number and the person picked immediately.

“It's me, Micheal,” he told the person he called, who he was talking to.

“Wow, glad to hear your voice” they sounded happy upon knowing who the caller was.

“Yeah, can I ask for a favour from you?” Micheal asked without wasting time.

They answered, “Go on, please”

“I need the address to where Kathie's wedding is taking place, today is her wedding” curiosity was clear-cut in his tone, he hoped they would find the address.

“A second please”

Jaden was watching with desperate eyes, whoever Michael was talking to was an expert because a message just tinged in his phone and Michael's eyes popped out upon seeing it. Not even up to a minute.

Michael had a smug smile on his face, he knew the place, he retracted and thanked the person on the other side.

Afterwards, he stood up and placed the phone beside Jaden,”Mac-xona estate B12”

“Drive me there” he sounded more like he was commanding him.

“O-okay” he stood up and straightened his shirt and tucked it in properly, “Mac-xona estate it is then” he acted as though he wasn't aware of it before.

Jaden paid for the food, and then they drove to the estate.

Getting there, they noticed that the wedding must have kicked off as many cars were seen outside, they entered the hall and to their utmost surprise, Kathie was already exchanging rings with Pablo.

Michael was rooted to the spot, his breath coming out faster than usual. At that moment, time seemed to slow down as his brain processed his inward reaction when he received the news.

He wanted to believe that Kathie was forced to marry Pablo, but the Kathie before him, the one he has been with for a long time and even lost count, is smiling and swirling in high spirits as she was about to exchange rings with the monster. 

The guests turned towards the door as Michael entered. If Michael was angry before, now he is burning in rage. The guests were murmuring, but Michael was unable to comprehend them as he was mystified.

Kathie was dressed in a white wedding gown, and she held a ring in her hand, she was about to put it in Pablo's finger.

So, it was true, his girlfriend betrayed him. He waited for this long and spent most of his time in jail dreaming of his future with his girlfriend, the main reason he was put behind bars. Only for him to be welcomed with this.

Furiously, he grabbed a wine on a nearby table and hurled it at Kathie and Pablo.

The little audience gasped in shock, unfortunately or fortunately, the bottle didn't hit them, but it shattered and the wine stained Kathie's wedding gown and even Pablo's suit.

Inquisitively, Kathie and Pablo turned to know who disrupted the special moment and their eyes widened in shock on seeing Micheal, especially Kathie's.

Kathie was slack-jawed on seeing him, isn't he supposed to be in prison? She asked herself, but then she remembered that today was his release day.

Pablo was infuriated, what the hell is he doing here? Not only did he throw a bottle of wine at them, on his wedding day, this fool showed up to resperse his day.

“Guards!” he screamed.

 His guards appeared in seconds, they surrounded Micheal, with their guns beside them.

Pablo extended his hand towards Kathie, she took it with a smile, and he helped her to prompt towards Michael.

Kathie flashed a cocky smile,"Does this place look like a loser's place?”

Not a question, she mocked him. 

Perplexed Michael raised his brows. Should he be surprised? Of course, he couldn't believe that she actually said this to him, he would have believed it to be a dream but then, she is standing there, right in front of him, mocking him right in his face, not giving a damn about who was looking at them.

Michael had to pinch his thumb a little to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Pablo smirked, “Didn't you hear her?” he pulled his suit closer to his body, “maybe I should repeat it, so you can hear it very well”

He whispered in his face, “Does this place look like a loser's place?” he repeated the question, with more contempt.

Not me. I am well-off, and I don't need you in my life, learn that or burn in hell!”Pablo is the young master of the 'smith

    Michael was astonished when he looked at the girl. He remembered her as his classmate back in university. She has grown into a beautiful lady, for some minutes he was mesmerized as he stared at her, but something kicked in his mind and he recomposed.The girl was also surprised to see him in the estate, back in school she liked him more like a crush.

    Ayla’s POV “Get her out, now.” Shuffling feet approaching got my eyes opened again. I had barely slept, maybe just dozed off a bit. A man towered over me, looking straight in the eye before leaning down to pull me up. “What are you doing?” I struggled against his sinew arms on mine “Let go.” He suddenly let go and I fell to the bed with a thud. “Get up and get out.” “What is this? Who are you anyway?” I glared at the ma from before that instructed me to eat and then leave. Was he the one who saved me from Pablo? Why then was he acting so strange? “Get her out then.” He turned to leave as he ordered the same man again. “Wait.” I got down hastily from the bed, my feet almost tangled in the sheets before reaching him. “Do on touch, talk from a distance.” His voice was ice cold and I wondered why he saved me when he was just going to be so rude and throw me out again. “Who are you?” “What sort of a ridiculous question is that? After latching so tightly to me, I expect you would

    Ayla’s POV Where was I? I could barely remember anything, my memory took a pause at the time I was saved by an unknown man from Pablo and my head ached from trying to recall what had happened after that. I tried to get up but my limbs were weak, it was like I had been sedated and I could barely control my body to move. I opened my eyes to a luxurious view of dropping chandelier of rather expensive cut. Where was I? I tried turning my head to look around and I noticed that it was definitely not my room and definitely not Michael’s, so I was not anywhere near home. Was I kidnapped? That was very unlikely because I felt way too comfortable in the feather like bed to have actually been kidnapped. “It is about time you woke up. After ruining my evening and scattering my plans you do not deserve any more sleep than you have already gotten.” A thick voice welcomed me followed by a handsome man with muscular build. He did not look familiar in any way but his facial features made my head ac

An abrupt shooting spree was nothing he could not handle. I just needed to focus and keep my head in the game. Smith pushed the steel doors open and walked in sluggishly, panting heavily before flat of an armless sofa. He was too weak to be of any use to me, he was just a waste of space but I needed bait, a worm to catch the stubborn fish from the water and he seemed like the only willful option if he would agree. “Smith, come over.” I ordered and watched him sluggishly drag himself off the chair and shuttle towards me. “We need to get them to come after me again. You are gonna be the bait and you ain’t gonna complain or say a word out of the context, here or there.” “A bait? That will not be possible. I cannot be a part of your bullshit plan to sabotage innocent lives.” He yelled back at me, suddenly revitalized “They are

    Pablo’s POV“Take him down, gunner!” I yelled. It was a raid, a bloody raid that I had not seen coming and it was not Torrance this time, the Vikings never worked like this. They were always to afraid to take a bold move, not to talk of a move as daring as this one.I could not wait for his response neither could I see him finish off the intruder, he would report himself to me. I shielded myself out, the intruder had used a Sub machine Gun and while his attacks were not directed at a particular target, he just shot as much as he could, all round.I passed through the back door, using the stair way that led to an empty underground garage. I got into my car and drove back home. On my way out, I saw the bodies of my soldiers lying outside the warehouse. The intruder had killed them all silently and it had happened during the call. They plan to take Kathie, get their friend and keep me on the losing end. This was not the work of the Vikings, they definitely had a greater help else, they w

    Ayla’s POV He was a lunatic. How could he even think of cutting off my limbs to send to my parents? I did not even want them getting involved in this because of my disobedience. “You cannot try it. Smith will not allow it.” I yelled at him, trying to conceal my emotions. He burst out in a maniac laugh, lolling his head back and forth continuously. “You are really feisty. I like that. But I’d like to see Smith try. Gunner, hit her up.” He stared at me and took a sip of his drink, then a long drag to take it down. The heavily built man that had kidnapped me earlier walked towards me, swinging a mallet as he closed the gap between us. I shook in fear, and almost peed on myself when a phone rang in a distance. It sounded so distinct as I could only hear Gunner’s footsteps approaching me. Suddenly, he paused and walked over to Pablo; “Torrance.” He simply said to Pablo, who collected the phone and answered the call. It was a video call.Pablo’s POV“Perfect timing, I was just about

    Michael’s POV I knew something was off. I felt it all the way to her house and at her mother’s words I began to panic but I tried as much as I could to swallow it and showed her a smile. "I really wanted to see her to clear some things up but it's fine, I will just come back later." I turned and left before she would make me say any other thing; I was worried that I might scare her, over something that might not even be true. I needed to see Donovan and Anurag to set out how we would protect our loved ones. Ayla mustn't suffer because of me. Pablo was too heartless to care about other people's life; he would gladly take their lives if they got in his way or tried to show authority, classic traits of a mafia boss. I drove to the cathedral and to my surprise; I met all the Viking brothers who had lived together in the Villa, along with their wives and children. They were really in danger, for them to have left their luxurious and comfortable home to an old cathedral with nothing val

    Michael’s POV The weekend ran fast with couple plates of lovely dishes, hours beside my pool and some few minutes of going through my set out plan, and then I was soon turning my tie to the rhythm of work blues. I was going to have a splendid time at work, packing my few personal belongings from my office back to my home, there wasn’t much there anyway. A day to resign officially; Miss Sarah was bound to ask me the reason for such sudden decision and I had not made up my mind on what to tell her. I whistled a tune to match my mood as I tightened the tie around my neck. I put on my suit and bent to pick my shoes from its rack. I noticed a paper under the bed; it was crumpled and as I pulled up the folded parts I saw that it was dirty and a little soft where it had gone damp. I read the content; it was a quick sketch of my findings from the beginning of the search on the Viking’s case right up until now. Had I squeezed it like this? Even if I did, I would not have thrown under the bed

    Chapter 85

    Michael’s POV I was mapping out our plan for a successful victory. We need to infiltrate the Mafian cycle to conquer this battle once and for all. Scott was Pablo’s consigliere, who was more like his underboss as Smith was nothing to write home about. He had not contributed to the first Viking/Mafian war and he has certainly not helped in the course of Pablo’s reign. Pablo was soon to resign from his position but Smith was less of a Mafia boss material. Hence to cut down Pablo’s wings of authority, Scott was the first target, he needed to be done away with in order to over throne Pablo from his well known game. Donovan had said something about hitting Pablo where it would hurt already. Was Scott the part that would hurt? If so, then it was a smart decision. Scott would need to be taken down first in order to win this fight, as Scott’s absence (death) would make Pablo limp in a foot. Pablo ran a Mafian household that was not necessarily connected by blood or marriage. Scott was not
