Honor In Vengeance

Chapter 3

Michael tried to remain calm, given that this hurts like hell, he would want to know why Kathie betrayed him. He was still in shock at how everything was playing, he really wanted someone to tap him or pour him water that it's a dream. He is still in denial.

Seeing that Kathie wasn't feeling remorseful over her actions, he is gradually accepting the hurt, the outrage.

He looked into her eyes, not flickering.

He asked, “Why did you do this, Kath?”

“Why the hell did you marry my enemy, Kathie?” Michael asked again.

Kathie scoffed, “Why the hell did I marry your enemy?”

“Isn't it clear Micheal, you are strapped and a loser!” she jeered, “wait… did you expect me to be with a prisoner, a man who is dragged around and punished by his fellow men, a shillingless man and a worthless one at that, a fucking loser?”

She shook her head in disbelief, “In your dreams, Micheal. 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 'smiths' the richest family in the city. He is filthy rich, rolls in dough. Because of that, Kathie betrayed Micheal. 

Michael's hand curled into a fist, his teeth squeezed together. Right now, he detested his ex more than his enemy. She was no different to a hypocrite, she is a snake, and he hated that. He hates that he once loved this hypocrite standing superciliously In front of him, he loathes the fact that he spent three years in prison because he was protecting her.

“I hate the day I fell in love with you, I was in jail for three years, Kathie. You are a hypocrite, a flip-flopper! Now you make it seem like you were with me because of my wealth, and I wouldn't be surprised to see you with another man tomorrow because you are no different to a whore, a prostitute!”

Michael touched his forehead like he was tired. He closed his eyes and opened it.

“You know I hate that I am saying this you, if it was a peaceful breakup or at least a matured one, I would have wished you good luck in your journey, but since you cheated on me, mocked me in my face because of loving you, know this” he shoots his index finger at her face, “one day you will be useless as, and no man will look at you because of your despicable behavior especially after today, have fun but don't forget you contravened a man who treated you like a queen…you believe Pablo is better than me, shame then!”

Kathie had heard enough, she screamed, “Stop! Don't open that fetid mouth of yours again”

“Guards, take this loser out of here. Put him back in jail and this time make his stay longer” she commanded without empathy.

Due to Pablo's wealth, anything can be done in just a swap of fingers, just place a call or command his lackeys it's over for Michael.

The guards inched closer to arrest Michael, they pointed their gun at him, “surrender!” One of them screamed.

Michael remained stagnant in the place while calculating his moves, he laughed and nodded his head as though he already won the fight even before it started. In a swift pace, he turned and back kicked one with his leg, he extended his arm and twisted the gun out of another guard. The duo he just kicked fell down woefully, Michael who already knows the art of fisticuffs in making people go down on their knees beat the remaining lackeys in a twinkle of eyes.

Soon they were panting and breathing hard on the ground, with their guns landing on different locations.

Michael dusted his palm, this was one of the simplest fights he had ever had in the past three years, this is so basic, and he wondered why the high and mighty Pablo would hire such weaklings. He turned to meet the perplexed eyes of Kathie and Pablo, he didn't mean to show them his skills this way, but since they started the show he was more than glad to entertain them a little.

Michael had a smug smile on his face.

Kathie was petrified and she snuggled beside Pablo, how did Michael do that? The question repeated in her head, this time she didn't look at Michael with pride and rudity, she looked at him with fear glaring in her eyes.

Pablo was also surprised as Kathie, but he wouldn't show it because that would leave Michael thinking he already won. Well, the war just got started.

He smiled, “Nice cuffs you got there and here I am thinking you are a weenie. I might as well change the context a bit. How about going against a Caribbean Mafia, dualingo” the smile didn't leave his face as he uttered, it was a scary smile.

Michael didn't bulge, he has heard of them before,

Pablo's father is a friend of the boss of the biggest mafia in the city. Instead of putting Michael back to jail he now wants to give him the punishment by calling the Mafia.

He placed a call to them, and they arrived in thirty minutes. They marched in unison as they entered, the boss was in the middle while his gangsters walked behind him, all of them were on black shades.

This was going to be a bloody fight, the guests thought. Meanwhile, some of them have started recording with their phones, it will definitely fetch them some dough.

When they got closer, the boss bowed to Pablo and his gangsters followed suit. Pablo smiled, now this is what you earn when you are the young master of a rich man, he thought.

He cleared his throat, “This moron barged into my wedding and attempted to destroy it, he is making my wife uncomfortable with his lies, you know what to do”

The boss nodded, he turned to his gangsters and nodded at them, it was a signal for them to catch Michael. They surrounded him immediately.

Just then, the boss decided to take a proper look at Michael when something caught his eyes.

Can't be!

His eyes widened in shock, he slowly trailed his eyes upwards and met the fierce and burning gaze of Michael. The ring! Where did he get the ring? He is one of them.

The boss trembled, he was shaking like a leaf.

Timidly, he shouted, “Stop!!”

And there was dead silence in the hall.
