Derek arrived at his house, a fancy mansion decorated with expensive materials. He walked inside, his eyes moving at all corners as though searching for something.
“Where were you at?” Magret asked from behind.
Derek was shocked, he turned.“Mo…mother? You're still awake?” He asked with a shaky voice.
“Yes I am” she said, waking him with a suspicious look.
“I was just out with the boys” he lied, trying to avoid eye contact.
“What did you do this time around Derek?” Magret covered her mouth in shock, after seeing the little blood stains on his suit.
Derek noticed she had seen the stains in his cloth, so he then tried to cover it.
“What have you done Derek!” She asked again.
“It's none of your business!” Derek yelled back at her, as he rushed to his room.
‘My dear son. You're really going to stray, I hope you'll realize what you're doing is wrong someday. And I hope by then it isn't too late’ she heaved a sigh as droplets of tears ran down her cheek.
Derek used to be a good and lovable man, but after his father was brutally killed by an enemy, Derek took over. He became the heir of their family's business and also his father's illegal business, being a powerful drug lord and Mafia boss, he swore not to be a weakling like his father, to make people afraid of him that no one would dare to be his enemy.
No one that had crossed his path that came out alive, he's a deadly and vicious man, who does what he says and never forgives an offender.
Derek entered his room and shut the door behind. “Why do you always have to spoil my mood, mother. Why!” He yelled, punching the wall. Abruptly his phone rang. He ignored the call but it kept on calling.
He grunted. “What's the matter Tiga, what'd you want!” He picked the call.
“I'm sorry for interrupting your night Don, but the man we thought we've dealt with is still alive” the voice announced, almost panicking.
“What? What'd you mean, I stabbed him in the stomach, how can he still be alive” Derek started sweating.
“Some passerby saw him and rushed him to the hospital, and according to my spies he's still alive, and undergoing immediate treatment”
“No no no” Derek moved around the room, it was a big problem, if Davin wakes up anytime soon, he'll be exposed. “Then what are you waiting for? Do something, go with the boys and finish the job” Derek ordered.
“It's too risky for now Don, the police are everywhere” Tiga said.
“Then make sure the job is done as early as possible tomorrow morning”
“Alright boss” he hung up.
‘Davin can't be alive, I can't be exposed to the Windsors now, not until I achieve my goals’ he folded his palm into a fist, as he grinned devilishly.
***
It was morning. Back at the hospital, the nurses and doctors were trying to save a life. Davin was fighting for his life, blood pumping from his stomach, whether he'll die or survive it remained uncertain.
Meanwhile, more than thirty sleek, black armored limousines were parked in a neat row outside. The sound of an approaching helicopter filled the air, and the limousines' doors swung open in unison. Out stepped a group of men, all dressed in impeccable black suits and wearing dark sunglasses. They stood in formation, waiting for the helicopter's occupant to disembark. The rotor blades slowed and the helicopter door opened, revealing a silhouette against the bright sunlight. As the figure stepped out, the assembled men bowed in unison.
His feet touching down on the tarmac with a light thud. He was dressed in a white tailored suit, his gray hair neatly combed back, and his posture exuded confidence and authority. He was probably in his fifties.
He then walked towards the hospital entrance immediately seven bodyguards escorted him inside of the building, all the staff and security in the hospital were mesmerized, they imagined what kind of wealth this man could hold to control so many men.
The man checked his phone, a tracker was being displayed, he followed the indicator and it brought him to the room Davin was in. The man opened the door even though it was prohibited to enter, but no one dared to stop this great force.
“Master who ever did this to you will pay with his own blood”. The man said as he caressed the hair of Davin. The doctor and nurses in charge were perplexed, if this wealthy looking billionaire could call their patient Master, then how much more of him.
“Thank you Doctor, but we'll take it from here” he said with a throaty voice.
“But sir, you can't take him just yet, he needs to be conscious first or…” the doctor tried explaining.
“Shhh” the man interrupted with a gesture. “You think you're worthy to even touch him, if only you know who is in your hospital” he said again. He then gestured to one of his men as they dropped a briefcase on a table.
“Here's your payment. And if anyone asks you what happened, tell them he died in the process of treatment. Okay?” He instructed.
The doctor was speechless; he only nodded.
“Good” the man arranged his suit and his men carried Davin like a bride and left.
Immediately they exited the door, the doctor opened the briefcase, his fingers trembling slightly as he turned the lock. He wasn't sure what to expect, but when he saw what was inside, he gasped in shock. Inside the briefcase was a mountain of cash - stacks upon stacks of crisp, new bills. The doctor's eyes widened as he realized just how much money was there. He kept imagining why they were trying to protect and hide this person so much, who was he?.
The limousines and the helicopter left with Davin, the convo made many onlookers fill the area. After some few minutes Tiga and his men arrived, they all wore masks.
They entered the hospital and asked a nurse about the patient that was admitted yesterday night. The nurse tried to act brave by not answering but immediately Tiga pointed a gun at her head, she immediately told him the exact room.
Without wasting time they entered the room and met the doctor counting his miracle money.
“Hey” Tiga called, pointing his gun at the doctor. Immediately the doctor was electrified with fear and panic, he hurriedly covered the briefcase, thinking they came for the money.
“Where's the patient!?” Tiga asked.
The doctor's eyes widened, his throat hung in the air, unable to speak.
“Speak up before I pull the trigger!” Tiga threatened.
“I…he…he died” the doctor stammered.
“What?” Tiga was confused. Just last night he confirmed Davin was improving, so how will he die all of a sudden.
After much integration the doctor cooked a lie, saying the corpse was taken by the police for investigation. Tiga had no choice but to believe, but although he had his doubts, he was suspicious of the doctor selling his parts due to the amount of cash he saw him counting earlier. But anyways that's not the problem, as long as Davin is dead it's a successful mission.
The Lord's Mansion.The helicopter landed gently on the large compound of the Lord's prominent mansion. The compound was lined up with hundreds of men dressed in a red and black outfit, they were the Lord's men. Very powerful martial artists that were feared all over the world, a single Lord's man could take down ten average men, they were only sent for important missions.The door of the helicopter was open and Davin was carried out with carefulness and rushed inside the mansion.Davin was placed on a royal bed, James had already arranged an ancient healer to fasten up the treatment.The healer stretched his hands on Davin's wound, he closed his eyes making some silent incarnations. Suddenly an emerald light appeared from his palms, and then with an instant Davin's wound was sealed like it was never there in the first place. But he was still unconscious."How long will he take to recover?" James asked."It shouldn't be more than 24 hours, I'm surprised he was still alive despite losi
THE WINDSOR'S MANSIONDerek arrived at his soon to be in-laws house, he was welcomed warmly, Victoria was the first to walk up to him."Welcome Derek, I'm so glad you decided to visit, however I would like to discuss something private with you if you don't mind?" Victoria requested giving him a signal."Of course I miss Margaret." He smiled and followed her to a corner.Maya could only imagine what's so important that her mother can't say in front of everyone."So what did you do?" Victoria asked in haste."I don't understand." Derek raised a brow."I'm talking about Davin, what did you do to him?""Oh, about Davin, his case has been settled." Derek replied with confidence."For real? You mean you've finally gotten rid of that wretched man?" Victoria was excited."Yes, he's not our problem anymore.""Wow thank goodness, I know I could rely on You?" Victoria had always wanted a son-in-law that was as rich and powerful as Derek, so she would be able to get rid of anyone in the city who
THE LORD'S MANSIONDavin had recovered fully, he was in his study with James, discussing all that had happened when he was absent."While you were away Lord Darius, we hadn't been having any war threats, and so we focused more on the family's business." James said."And how's the progress?" Davin asked. He was now dressed in an expensive suit, and his hair neatly combed. He was now appearing like the billionaire he always was."The business is doing well, Lord Darius, we have expanded our reach all over the world, holding 20% of the entire world's revenue." James explained giving the computer to Davin to see for himself.Davin was amazed, the profit coming into the Lord's business empire was almost immeasurable, having 20% of the entire world's revenue, they were no doubt the richest family currently, not only do they have hundreds of companies they also have shares in others which weren't theirs."There have been a lot of improvements." Davin was impressed, there weren't so many comp
"You don't need to get upset Mr Luther? How about ten trillion dollars? Will you refuse to sell it even if I offer you such an amount?""What the hell? Stop joking around man, do you know who I am? You can't be joking around with me.""I'm not joking around Mr. Luther, I'll ask again, will you sell it at that amount? Or how about I make it twelve trillion? Is that good enough?"Luther was dumbfounded, Davin was calling the amount like it was just some little change. No single person is worth twelve trillion. "I'm waiting for your response Mr. Luther I came with my card." Davin said, bringing out his black card."I hope this isn't some kind of prank?" Mr. Luther asked to be sure."I'm dead serious."Mr. Luther stroked his jaw, selling his company at that amount isn't such a bad idea, in fact it was a double profit, and he could even build a bigger one with that amount, why would this man even want to buy it when he could build his own. So many thoughts ran through his mind."But why'd
Davin sat in the Beta office as he sipped on wine, watching the day get darker, a smirk formed on his face as he knew the Madison Enterprise would run out of time very soon. The thought brought him peace and satisfaction. He was going to make them pay for every single thing they did to him.On the other hand, Derek sat in his office, the weight of loss and debt pressed him down. His mind raced, searching for a way out of the mess he found himself in. The thoughts of Mr. Luther, the CEO of the Beta company, would do this to him, swirling like a storm in his mind, confusion evident on his face as he couldn't wrap his hand on what could actually be happening.Derek sat there for hours as time passed, his mind far away from reality until a knock came from the door,“Come in,” Derek answered.A lady came in, a grin vibrant on her face as she walked into the office majestically as she held an envelope,“Good afternoon sir, I'm here to ask for your permission to go on a one week break. ” Sh
Maya was worried as she tried Derek's line again and it went straight to voicemail.Different thoughts started going through her head.‘Is he still mad at mom for what she did the other day at dinner or maybe he's at a business meeting and he has just been busy lately' she thought as she tried to console herself.She tried his line again but it still went straight to voicemail, she finally gave up and decided to go look for her mum.As she got out of her room she heard noises coming from Isabella's room, it sounded as if Isabella was fighting with someone. She walked closer to check what was happening, before she could open the door she heard a loud sound.It sounded as if someone got hit, she quickly opened the door and saw Isabella on the floor.She looked away from Isabella to the man Isabella was arguing with, as she processed everything, realization hit her.“You slapped my sister?” Maya walked furiously to the stranger standing above Isabella, as she threw slaps to his face.Th
Derek's face reddened with rage, his voice rising in disbelief. "All of them! The entire company is refusing to work with me!" Peter's eyes widened in shock, "Sir, I think there must be some mistake," he ventured, trying to placate him. But Derek just stared, his anger boiling over. "I'm dead, I'm dead," he muttered to himself, his frustration and desperation palpable. Peter stood frozen, unsure how to respond, fearing anything he said would only fuel Derek's ire. Despite the cool weather, Derek began to sweat.Derek's face contorted in a mixture of anger and desperation as he dialed the J.K company, his hopes hanging by a thread. The call connected, and he launched into a passionate plea, "You can reconsider our proposal, it will greatly benefit your company!" But the response was curt and unyielding, "Sorry, we don't need this offer, thank you." Derek's voice took on a hint of desperation, "Okay, take 70%, let me take 30%." The silence on the other end was deafening, followed
Derek dialed the number again, but the call went unanswered. His mind raced with questions. Who was this mysterious person, and what did they want from him? He couldn't think of anyone he'd wronged, anyone who'd hold a grudge against him. "What's going on, Sir?" Peter asked, confusion etched on his face. Derek's gaze narrowed, his eyes locking onto Peter. "I need all the information you have on the Beta Group. Something's off." Peter hesitated, "Sir, what's the problem?" Derek's expression darkened, his voice stern. "Just do as I say, Peter. Now." Peter flinched, muttering a quick apology before scurrying to gather the information.Derek let out a frustrated hiss, loosening his tie as he sat down. He was certain it wasn't Mr. Luther's voice he heard. With a groan, he tried to focus on his work, but his attention was diverted by a notification on his phone. He unlocked it to see a chilling message: "Dearest Derek, we have taken 50% of yours. Sincerely, Beta Group." His eyes wide
