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 ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH I'M A FREE MAN
NIKAELEON *** Three years. For the first time in three years I was breathing clean, untainted air. As I stepped out of the prison gates, I raised my face to the sky and took a deep breath. I'm a free man. I smiled, then I began to laugh. “Yo, Nik. It’s good to see you man.” Tedros said as he stepped out of the car with Anika. We all used to be friends before I went to jail three years ago. They had gotten married while I was in jail, and they now had a little daughter. She was probably in school by this time. “It’s good to see you too.” I said as I hugged him. “But why are you the one picking me up, where’s Uri?” I asked him. I couldn’t wait to see her. “Let’s get you all cleaned up first. You must be dying to eat something that’s not prison food.” He said to me with a smile but I knew he was forcing it. Something was wrong. Being in prison had taught me to be hyper perceptive. You needed to be very careful behind bars or your next breath would be your last. “What’s the problem
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH CLUB SQUABBLE
Anika stood and showed them all her engagement ring. “He proposed.” Anika squealed. “And she said yes.” Tedros said smugly. “OMG! I’m so happy for you both.” Uriel squealed as she got up and hugged Anika. “Congrats man.” Nik said and shook Tedros. “I’m happy for you.” Connor said. “I hear a 'but' in there, Connor.” Tedros said with an arched brow. “But why are you both getting married now? You’re still very young.” Connor said. “I’m Twenty seven, Connor. And Anika is twenty five. That’s not so young. Besides, we aren’t getting married right now.” Tedros said to him. “We plan to get married by the end of the year or the beginning of next year so we still have a few months.” Anika said. ‘Well, goodluck to you both. The only way I see myself getting married is if I’m forced to. And that will be when I’m in my forties. There are so many women to sample, why settle for just one. It’s so boring.” Connor said and Nik groaned. “Don’t even start, Connor. No one wants to hear about y
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH GUILTY
“NOOOOO!” Uri yelled as she saw blood drIp to the floor between Nik and the man that had tried to take her. She rushed out of Tedros’ arms, he had been distracted by the gunshot so his hold on Uri had loosened enough for her to escape easily.She got to Nik just as the man and him fell to the floor. Uri quickly turned Nik over but it turned out that he wasn’t hurt, it was the man that had been shot while they had both been struggling for the gun. Nik only fell because of the impact of the gun’s recoil.“Oh my God! Nik! Are you okay?” Uri asked in a panicky voice as she touched him all over.“It’s okay, it’s okay, Uri. I’m okay. The blood isn’t mine.” Nik said as he pulled her closer and put his face in the crook of her neck.“I’ve called the police, they should be here soon.” Connor said as the rest of them walked up to Nik and Uriel.They helped Nik off the floor just as the club’s security came in to find out what happened. They had heard the gunshot.“What’s going on here?” One of
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH MORE BAD NEWS
BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY***“What do you mean by they’re getting married?” Nik asked with a bemused expression.“Nik, please. We’ll answer all your questions later.” Anika said as she got close to the two of them.“Just come with us for now so you can get cleaned up, put this prison behind you and move on with your life.” She pleaded with him.“No, Anika. You just told me that my woman is getting married to my best friend, and you expect me to just follow you like all is well?” Nik said with a scowl.“There’s nothing you can do about it, Nik. It’s just a coincidence that their wedding is on the same day that you got released. Just forget about them, they’re not worth it.”“No, Uri is mine. You must be lying. How can she leave me? No, that’s not possible. There must be a mistake somewhere. I’ll find out the truth by myself.” Nik said as he began to walk away from them.“Nik, wait!” Anika said as she and Tedros moved to follow Nik.“Be more reasonable, man. Where do you think you’re go
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH HE'S GONE
"Tell me where they are. Where is the wedding?" Nik asked as he paced."There's no need to go there, Nik. You'll just get hurt even more if you see them." Anika said as she touched his arm but he shrugged her off."No. I need to see with my own two eyes.""You're angry, Nik. You may do something that may send you back to jail for an even longer sentence. Is that what you want? You just got out." Tedros said.Nik took deep breaths and tried to smile."I won't, I promise. I'll just congratulate the happy couple." Nik said. "No, Nik. I'm sorry, but you may have good intentions but you won't be able to stand seeing them. I know how much you love Uri, and Connor has been your best friend for years. I can't trust you to go there and not cause a scene that would get you arrested.""Why do you care if I ruin the damn wedding, huh? Are you part of their plan too? Are there cameras here somewhere recording me while I lose my mind so you all can watch it later and laugh at me?" Nik said with a
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH UNINVITED WEDDING GUEST
"Gone? That's not possible. We would have seen him if he tried to leave the house. Maybe he's in another room. It's his first time here, he probably just wants to explore a little bit." Anika replied to her husband with a look of disbelief."The room is empty, I checked it. I checked the other rooms too before coming here. He didn't leave through the door, he left through the window in his room. I should have known he would go no matter what we said to him. Nik is a stubborn bastard." Tedros said as he picked up his phone."Are you trying to call him? He doesn't have a phone." Anika said and Tedros ran his hands through his hair."Damn it, I forgot about that." He said."What do we do, Teddy?" Anika asked in a panicky voice."I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. He may not even be able to get there before the wedding is over. He'll probably get lost, he doesn't even know the venue.""Nik is smart, Teddy. He had seen what the venue looked like in the vide
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH AT HIS LOWEST
NIKAELEON***Everyone turned to look at me, but I didn’t give a damn as long as I got Connor’s hands off my woman. I’m sure this was all a big misunderstanding, Uri would never leave me. Connor must have forced her into this.“I said let her go!” I said again as I walked towards them.Everyone moved out of my way. Uri looked petrified as I got closer to them, but Connor just smirked. I realised why he was so calm when some security personnels tackled me to the ground. I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face so badly. The old Nik they knew would have been subdued by guards, but not this prison hardened Nik. I punched the first guard that was on top of me on his face and it felt so good to hear his bones crunch because of the force of my punch.I kicked the second one that was crouched close to my legs and had been trying to cuff my hands and dragged the third one down to headbutt him. People screamed as I battered three more guards, and hearing how afraid they were of me filled me wi

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
