THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH IT'S NOT MY TIME
NIKAELEON *** They say that before you die, your life flashes before your eyes. How you’ve lived, your regrets, things you never got a chance to do, things you wished to do, about sixty seconds of it all. As the car fell over the bridge and plummeted to the water below, I experienced none of those. Why? I was determined not to die, it wasn’t my time yet. That was the last thought in my head as the bonnet of the car hit the water and we submerged immediately. I was the only one with my seat belt on so I stayed glued to my seat. The driver moved forward because of the momentum and smacked his head against the windshield. Because it was made of reinforced glass, it didn’t break, but he became unconscious as the side of his head began to bleed. Antonio was able to stop himself from sharing the same fate as the driver and only fell to the floor of the car, but my father smacked his head against the driver’s seat and slumped. Because of the water pressure, I knew that opening the door at
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH A PROMISE OF VENGEANCE
NIKAELEON***“His pulse is faint, but at least it’s there. We need to get him to a hospital immediately so the professionals can handle him or you may still lose him.” The man I assumed to be the captain of the ship said to me as my father’s eyes closed.At least he was still alive, I saved him. I picked up my father’s phone and dialled Scorpion’s number. He was the only other person who knew about our plan, and he was supposed to be our inside guy when the traitors try to take over the business. He would gather as much information as possible before the strike back and also help us infiltrate the place when the time comes.“Scorpion.” I said as he answered the call and he recognised my voice immediately.“Nik!” He exclaimed with relief.“The driver at the swap point called to let me know that you guys never arrived.” His voice was low like he was whispering. He also sounded like he was moving, probably to go somewhere that would offer more privacy and make sure no one was eavesdropp
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH THE TAKE BACK
NIKAELEON***It had been almost two weeks since the news about our deaths spread. Only two of our most trusted allies knew that we were alive. My father was still comatose, but Antonio and I had been busy planning how to take back the business. I contacted Scorpion three days ago and let him know how it would go down while he gave me information that he had gathered while pretending to be part of our enemies.According to Scorpion, Levi had been released by his fellow traitors. The men they thought were loyal to me had been kept in cells, Levi wanted to handle them by himself. Like I suspected, he had been recuperating from all we had done to him so he didn’t have the time or energy to torture or kill the men in the cells yet. Scorpion had also been spared like I had guessed he would, Levi only made him do demeaning jobs as punishment, so he was basically a servant but at least he was alive.We would have made our move the day after I had contacted Scorpion, but he told us to wait. H
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH LEVI'S END
NIKAELEON *** It was too easy to clear off the room, and I was almost disappointed. It didn’t even take up to ten minutes to put a bullet into every guest and guard, at least the guards at the cell house fought back. These ones were too drunk to do more than squeal and try to run, even the guards that were here as security were drinking like there was no tomorrow. Pun intended. “Boss, Levi is in your father’s study. He still doesn’t know the house has been infiltrated, and there are two guards by his door.” Scorpion said. The music playing in the grand hall was loud enough to wake up the dead so it must have muffled the sound of the gunshots. Most of our guns also had silencers so we didn’t make that much noise. “I’m heading up to him now. Keep me posted if something changes.” I said as I made my way towards the staircase with Antonio to go to my father’s study. Just as Scorpion said, there were two guards by the door but before they could draw their weapons, we shot them. We did
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH A GHOST FROM THE PAST
NIKAELEON***GRANT INCORPORATED…The company’s name was written boldly on the building that was as tall as the skyline. The skyscraper was a sleek modern monstrousity that stood out among the other skyscrapers around the business district. I sat in the back of the car with Antonio as the driver manoeuvred us into the private parking lot reserved for the company’s executives. I almost rolled my eyes as I saw the car that was already parked in the spot reserved for the CEO. Connor’s ego was the size of the skyscraper, if not, why would he feel the need to announce his position everywhere. People with true power don’t need validation from anyone, neither do they need to announce their strength, their affluence speaks for them. Connor was just a spoiled brat in a man’s body, and I couldn’t wait to see his expression when I walked into the board meeting in a few minutes.“Is there a problem? Why aren’t you making a move to leave?” Antonio asked when I remained in my position after the car
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH THE NEW CEO
NIKAELEON***The smirk remained on my face as I replied to Connor.“Of course I’m alive, why would you think that I’m dead?” I asked him.“Did you send people to assassinate me? Is that why you assumed I’m dead? Or are you high on something?”“He must have taken something, his behaviour today is really abnormal.” The woman that told me to introduce myself replied to me and Connor’s cheeks became red.I would have assumed he was flushed from embarrassment, but judging from the expression on his face, he was flushed from anger.“I am not high. I do not take hard drugs.” Connor replied and stood straight with a haughty look on his face.He was trying to save face after humiliating himself so badly by overreacting to my presence.“Well then, your behaviour is highly disconcerting and really bad for the company. It’s a good thing I’m here to take over.” I said and everyone paused what they were doing or saying.“What’s that supposed to mean?’ Connor asked with a scowl.“It means exactly w
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH TIME WILL TELL
NIKAELEON***“What is the agenda for today’s meeting?” I asked as I walked to the seat at the head of the table.Connor was still standing beside it with a flabbergasted expression on his face. For almost a minute, no one answered me, they were still trying to process the events of the last five minutes. It was the secretary seated apart from the board members taking minutes that replied to me.“The agenda of today’s meeting is to find a way to rectify the damage done by the past week’s misfortune. The company’s stock drop, the bad publicity, machinery failure and human resource issues to mention a few.”“Everything will be resolved this week. I’ll have the negative media articles removed by tomorrow.” I said.“We’ve tried to negotiate with the media houses about bringing all the articles down, but this time, they just won’t budge. We’ve exhausted all resources available on that end, there’s nothing that can be done about it at this point.” I was making sure that their connections w
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
NIKAELEON***Connor's glared at me as i replied to him and I turned away from him to face the secretary.“Set up a meeting with the managers and the head of departments for the next fifteen minutes. They will be informed of the change in management and other subsequent changes that will take place, like the company’s name change. They will in turn inform the employees under them. Schedule a press conference for tomorrow at 9 am as well, a meeting with the contractors for this particular project by 12 pm, and a meeting with the project supervisors by 1pm.” I said.“Yes sir.” He replied to me as he typed my instructions into the computer in front of him.“Also,” This time I turned to address the others seated around the table.“I will bring in a team to thoroughly vet every executive member of the company, from the board members, to the managers, assistants, and department heads. It has come to my notice that some people have been embezzling funds from the company. While that may have

EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE *** NIKAELEON * I thought I understood nervousness when I was about to get married, or fear when Aina had been held at gun point, none of that compared to the feeling of watching my child being born. Aina and I had already agreed before hand that I would be inside while she was giving birth. She needed my support because this was her first birth, and I wanted to watch , it would help me treasure her sacrifice to have our babies. Yes, babies. It seemed Sophia's prayer for a brother and sister came to pass. We found out we were having twins when we went for a late ultrasound scan. She screamed as another contraction hit her and her grip on my hand almost crushed my bones but I just stroked her hair with my other hand. "I don't think I can do this anymore." Aina sobbed and my heart broke for her. I wish I could take her pain away even if just a little bit and I hated being so helpless because at this point, there was nothing I could do for her. "Just a little bit more, Mr

THE END
NIKAELEON *** I never expected to be nervous today. It was usual to be nervous when you’re getting married, but I didn’t expect to be nervous, I expected to go through it calmly like I usually did everything in my life. Instead, I was fidgety, checking my reflection in the mirror a hundred times even though I looked perfect physically. “You look great, son. Stay still before you make a hole in the floor with your pacing.” My father chuckled as he walked into my room. “I don’t know why I’m even nervous. I was fine yesterday.” I said to him as I adjusted my tie again. “I was the same way when I married your mother. A lot of people no longer value marriage, but it’s supposed to be sacred. A lifelong vow of commitment to the one person you choose to live the rest of your life with. And you love her, you’re afraid of making a mistake and ruining what you both have.” I was about to protest and tell my father that this marriage was just an arrangement, after all, as a mafia boss, love w

WEEKS LATER
NIKAELEON *** It has been weeks since Connor was arrested along with the leaders of the Black Knights. Some other lower ranked members had also been apprehended these past weeks. Connor and the leaders had already been tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. The others were still awaiting trial but it didn’t matter, they were just pawns, the main players were already in jail. Last I heard, Connor had been nearly paralysed and had to be hospitalised for almost two weeks. I had no sympathy for him and neither did the government, he was still sent back to prison on crutches to continue living with his assailants. My revenge on him was complete. Uriel had also been tried for illegal possession of a firearm and threatening people’s lives with it, but she hadn’t been sent to jail because I didn’t press charges to add to these ones. She was on house arrest for a year, with community service and court ordained therapy. I went to visit her occasionally so she could video call Soph

THE TRAP
NIKAELEON***A FEW DAYS LATER*The courtroom buzzed with tension as the arguments echoed through the room, each side presenting their case for Sophia's custody. It was Manolo’s turn to speak now."Your Honor, We have substantial evidence to establish that Ms. Uriel is mentally unstable and unfit to provide a stable and nurturing environment for Sophia. We also have expert testimonies from qualified mental health professionals who have evaluated Ms. Uriel and have concluded that her mental state poses a risk to the well-being of the child."We gave the court a video clip from the security footage from the mansion showing the moment Uriel had grabbed Sophia roughly after Sophia announced that she was having a sibling. There was no sound because it was CCTV, but it was evident that Uriel was being aggressive to Sophia. That was enough to help our case.Uriel's lawyer countered with equal enthusiasm.“Your Honor, I assure you that my client is mentally sound. Those reports were taken wh

ANOTHER CALL
NIKAELEON***“I know what you’re going to say, Aina. You want me to release them without punishment, but I can’t do that. Yes, I know they’re in love and no one is above mistakes, I also know that this crime isn’t as bad as it would have been if he had been the traitor.” I said to her as we stepped out of the interrogation room and began to walk towards the back entrance to the house.“If you know, then why can’t you just release them?” She asked.“I’m sure you already know why. I set my rules for a reason, and if someone breaks any of my rules, no matter how justified they are, there has to be a consequence or no one will respect my rules. That’s why there are laws, and prison is the consequence if those laws are broken.”“Can’t you make an exception just this once? She’s pregnant, Nik.” She said and I sighed.“I’m not sending them away if that’s what you think. For their own good and mine. If they aren’t here, they’ll be easy to kill by my enemies or captured and tortured for infor

MARIA
NIKALEOEN***“Fine. You can come along. But don’t interfere.” I said to her and the look she gave me said she would definitely interfere.“Don’t interfere too much.” I acquiesced with a sigh and she smiled.“And you better not cry.” I said to her and she huffed.“I’m not a baby.”As much as I wanted her by my side, I knew the path that lay ahead would test the limits of her resolve. "I never said you were a baby, Aina, this won't be easy. I may have to resort to violent means, and I may do things you may not approve. I don’t want you to resent me for it and begin to see me as some kind of monster. I really don't want you to witness what might transpire in that interrogation room. It could get ugly." I admitted.“I’ve always known there is a dark side of you, Nik. And I’ve made my peace with it. I know you don’t just go about torturing or hurting people on a whim or for fun, and when you do anything, it’s for a reason. I won’t blame you for anything you do today, you’re trying to pro

STUBBORN
NIKAELEON***“And I also wanted to apologise for the scene I caused, it wasn’t my intention to let Sophia know that you’re my baby’s father. I just wanted to get her mind off seeing you both fighting so I told her I was having a baby and showed her the sonogram. When she asked me who the baby’s father was, I just replied without thinking and then she bolted out here to tell you before I could stop her.” Aina explained.“It’s fine. I know you didn’t have an ulterior motive for telling her, and I could see the look on your face when she ran here with the sonogram, I knew it was just a mistake and I don’t blame you for it. In fact, I think I’m relieved, I’ve been thinking of a way to tell Sophia that she would have a sibling soon, wondering how she would react. Now I know that I was just worried for nothing.” I replied to her.“Yeah, she’s so excited to be a big sister. She has already told me in detail all the things she plans to do, and by the way, she says she wants two siblings, one

ANOTHER SUSPECT
AINA***I led Sophia away and she followed me, her tiny hand clutching onto me tightly.I took her to my room and sat down on the bed with her in my lap. I put her small hand on my tummy.“I have a baby in my tummy now.” I said and her eyes widened in surprise and childish delight.“You swallowed a baby?” She asked incredulously and I burst into startled laughter.“Oh! Heavens no! I can’t swallow a baby, I’m not a cannibal. The baby is growing in my tummy.” I said to her and there was a look of childish wonder in her eyes.“Babies grow in tummies? I thought they were sent from heaven by storks, I watched that in a cartoon. All the animals were on a train and when it was time for them to have babies, the birds carried the babies in white cloth and dropped them off one by one in the mummy and daddy’s cages.” Sophia said and I laughed again.I definitely wasn’t having the talk on where babies come from with her. It had been awkward when my own mother had ‘the talk’ with me, and I wasn’t

ANOTHER SURPRISE VISIT
NIKAELEON***“We need to talk, Nik. That’s why I’m here.” She replied to me and I nearly chuckled at the audacity she had to show up at my house to demand an audience with me.“We have nothing to talk about, Uriel. Or rather, I have nothing to talk about with you even though you may have something to say. I have no interest, nor do I have the time or patience to listen to whatever nonsense you want to say to me. So leave before I have you arrested for trespassing.” I said to her.“You can’t do that.” She said and I scoffed.“You have no idea what I’m capable of, Uriel. I suspect it’s the reason why you dare defy me so often.” I said to her. “If the police come, I’ll just tell them that I came to see Sophia and you denied me entrance. It will look bad on you while the custody case is still being deliberated on by the court.” She said.I was about to tell her to go fuck herself when Aina put a hand on my forearm. I turned to look at her and she didn’t need to speak to communicate her
