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.

    In the center of a queer situation whereby the Mafia Boss suddenly appeared to be afraid and motionless, Pablo was in a state of extreme anger for that the Mafia Boss was intimidated, in as much as he would want to question what the current atmosphere was about, but he wondered what seemed to be feared in Michael, he doesn't have a dime, so why is the Mafia Boss afraid of him?

    Shortly after they arrived, Ayla dropped Michael at No. 1 Villa, and they exchanged numbers before leaving.“This place is a luxury Villa, I'm glad you have someone here, so it would be comfortable for you. The place is always quiet, you don't need to worry of any disturbance but if there is,” she assured, “don't forget to give me a call, I will be here in seconds.”Michael flashed her his best smile, “You are too nice.”“Always have been,” her subconscious nibbled at her,‘are you doing this because you like him?' no this is something she can even do for anyone, she didn't even do much, she assured herself.

    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

    Pablo’s POV There was still no call from Gunner, nothing to indicate that he had survived but I was sure he had. He has faced worse and he conquered them all. 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

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
