Chapter 12

Justin slammed the door in anger, noticing through the corner of his eyes the fact that his staffs subtly tried to disappear. He didn't even mind that, he was sure he had terrified his employees at work with the dark scowl on his face coupled with his communication prowess. He honestly wasn't happy with his behavior but the anger he had been feeling since he had seen his destroyed restaurant was still bubbling close to the surface.

Benson didn't value his life obviously since he was the only one that stuck to him. Justin stomped up the stairs to his room and slammed the door, not surprised to hear the firm knock barely ten seconds after. He knew Benson had been following him but he really wasn't in the mood to talk to him, or anyone for that matter. Which was why he hadn't told anyone about it yet.

He and Benson had become friends in the past few weeks and he already knew how Benson would react. He ignored the knock and the door was jerked open after the third knock by Benson, his face a mask of fury. "What's going on with you?"

Justin turned to Benson, furious. "Nothing. Just get out."

Benson stood his ground. "Not until you stop acting like a child and tell me what's going on. Is your plan to scare your staff into leaving? I heard some news from the office but waited till you got home to talk it through with you but you are here acting like a child."

The lid that had been barely covering Justin's rage spilled over and he slammed into Benson, his hands digging into his neck. "Are you keeping track of me?" He was tired of being watchful of every step as he had way too many enemies to live his life in peace.

Benson didn't fight back but instead a small smile ghosted his face. "You know I won't do that. I received some calls from a few terrified people." He clarified calmly.

Justin removed his arms and glared at Benson, panting with frustration and annoyed he wasn't fighting back. He needed to hit someone or something and since he hadn't grown up breaking things, he couldn't bring himself to break any of the appliances in his room. Benson had said the truth, he knew that. Yet, that insecure part of him that had been maltreated in the hands of almost everyone was clenching.

He moved away from Benson who was massaging his neck and studying him. "What's going on?"

Justin stood without a word and went to his laptop and connected it to the flash he had used to take the video of the restaurant being destroyed. Benson, needing no other encouragement, followed him.

Justin played the video and his fingers clenched into fists as he watched it again.He had thought of nothing but what he was seeing all day and watching it again was bringing back his anger tenfold. He opened his camera roll and showed Benson the pictures he had taken of the restaurant. One thing he was thankful for was the fact that the exterior of the restaurant had been left alone.

He turned to Benson pleased to see him angry. "Can you see what is going on with me now?"

Benson nodded. "Have you found out who it is?"

Justin turned his chair to face Benson who was sitting on his couch. "Yes. The Romanos have been showing me their real colors for a while now but this is their era of showing me how cruel they can be. It's now my turn to show them what I can do."

Justin wasn't really hurt since he had always known how cruel they could be but the fact that they had possibly assumed the restaurant was his only source of income and they had intentionally tried to sabotage it. He wasn't of the assumption that it wasn't a family affair. If he hadn't known what psychopaths they were, he would have been envious of their family relationship. They only became the perfect family when they wanted to ruin others.

Benson nodded. "Do you want me to help you?"

Justin shook his head. He had carefully planned his strategy and all that was left was putting it into action. "This is my fight to see through.I'm going to attack what they consider the most important."

"Their reputation?" Benson asked and Justin nodded. He wasn't that impressed because he knew how much Benson observed, watched and filed information about the people Justin considered enemies, at least those he had talked about.

"I'm going to destroy them in the worst way possible. I'll make sure they regret all their actions, not only to me but to everyone they ever stepped on." Justin swore.

"What is your plan?" Benson asked, anticipation clear on his face.

.Justin smiled just as his phone buzzed. "You will find out soon."

Tyler leaned towards Nora. "I wasn't mistaken in my assumptions, right?"

They were gathered at Nelson and Nora's home, discussing Justin's plans for revenge. Benson would have been present except he was on a trip. Nora had finally quit now that the time for revenge had come.

Nora smiled. "Of course. I'm perfect for the job. Didn't I mention that you notice a lot when you're quiet and I may or may not have snooped to find something more."

She held her hands up as her brothers opened their mouths. "I was careful about it. Nothing can be traced back to me. Don't worry about it."

Nelson rolled his eyes. "Don't you dare put yourself in danger like that again or I'll fish you out and kill you myself, understood?"

Nora looked at Justin like she was expecting support but he shook his head. "He's right." In her former place of work, she had been trying to protect one of her friends and her boss had found her snooping in his papers and she had been kidnapped.

Nelson made a gesture to Nora indicating his mockery and Justin sighed when Nora stood up.

Justin grabbed Nora's arms. "Focus please."It was in moments like this he was happy he wasn't born a twin. They sure lived an exhausting life. Even at their ripe age of thirty six, they still behaved like they were children. He shuddered when he thought of their teenage years, it was a miracle their mother survived that period."

So far, what do you have Nora?" He asked, in a bit to distract them from the glaring contest they currently had going on. Nora had some information about the Romanos he had counted on her having and his brother was the best at unveiling even the darkest buried secrets in a matter of minutes, hours at the most. With the power he had and his siblings, he was going to make sure everything the Romanos had enjoyed crumbled at their feet and he would cheer as that happened. He was done being walked over.

Cyril rushed into Tyler's room loudly where he was playing a game. Tyler looked at him in irritation at the distraction."

I'm busy. Can't you see that?"

"Have you checked your phone recently?" Cyril's voice trembled.

Tyler rolled his eyes. What was with the overreaction anyway? "No. Is there a reason I should?"

Cyril picked Justin's phone from the table and threw it at him, watching the shock come over him. "What is this?"
