Milan is distracted from doing his work when he hears the loud buzzing sound coming from his phone. He takes his attention away from his computer and picks up his phone. "Hello Mark?""Hello Good morning Boss. I had some news, and I was wondering if I should stop by your office. "Milan sighs and leans back on his seat. "No. I'll be quite busy today. Just tell me over the phone""Something happened to Daniel the day he tried to run and leave the country. He was kidnapped and beaten up. "Milan is in awe to hear what Mark said. He immediately wonders who might have kidnapped Daniel."Who was behind it?""It seemed he was indebted to someone, but I don't know who, boss. However, he managed to escape before they could beat him to death. "Milan lets out a sigh he didn't know he had been holding. The news came unexpectedly to him. Of course, he was thrilled that Daniel was getting punishment he deserved after wronging others as well. "He tried to run off with someone's money"Milan c
Milan walks down the halls of his company with Ariel by his side. She had put on her sun shades and walked even better than the models at the Royals Modelling Company. It was the floor was her runway. Some of the employees who watched her seemed to be dazzled by her beauty as her presence itself was not something that could go unnoticed with the confidence she eluded. Once they were outside,she turned around to Milan with a brief smile. "Well then, Mr. Reyes. I'll be on my way. "Milan nods in response and watches her walk into her Lamborghini with no driver. She zooms off. Milan stands watching the car disappear in awe. "What a strange woman."He mutters underneath his breath and makes his way to his car with his bodyguards towing behind him. Milan was done for the day and only wanted to head home and get some rest, but a strange man who stood next to Milan's car caught his attention. Milan paused in his tracks, staring at the man who leaned on a car next to Milan smoking weed
"Boss, I found out something."Milan raises a brow at Mark. "Tell me. What did you find out? "Mark sends Milan a smile. "I was able to track down the guy in the hoodie. The messenger. I found out his new location, and although it is rather discreet, I think it would be a lot easier to get a hold of him now. "Milan felt relieved to hear the news. He was close to finding out the identity of the man behind the letters. "That's very good, Mark. We will have to catch him, but I really hope everything's goes well this time. "Mark nods in understanding. "So, what is the plan, boss? Are you going to catch him yourself? "Milan sets the glass of whisky on the table next to him and gets up abruptly with Mark mirroring his movements. "This time, I won't be a part of it. Send me the location, and I'll get my bodyguards to get him in hopes that they actually succeed then, I can get the answers I want. "Milan picks up his suit jacket and heads to the door with Mark towing behind him. Milan
"Xavier Wilder. He is a popular gambler who is most wanted by the police for illegal gambling. He has a bad record of bullying and anyone that crosses his path gets into trouble"Milan chews on his pancakes gently as he listens to Mark who had gotten his information on Xavier. "Apparently boss, he is the man in the photo that met with Daniel occasionally"Milan knew Xavier looked familiar but he couldn't remeber him and now it was all making sense. "It seems he was the one who revealed the information about my gambling records to Daniel. Daniel had gone to him to get some information and he decided to join hands to take me down"Milan chuckled. It was all amusing to him. "Yes Boss but I still can't quite understand why he would send those letters. I do not know what his aim was"Milan was as well clueless as to why Xavier had sent him those threatening letters. He poisoned him but didn't kidnap him. Milan didn't also know why he did thatXavier's true intentions were still unknown
"A favour? What is it? "Milan asks, suddenly curious. Xavier sits down and hesitates before he speaks. "I want to work for you"Milan almost spat out his tea but held himself back and raised a suspicious eyebrow at Xavier. "What are you talking about?"Xavier chuckles nervously. "I want to work for you, sir. Any position you can offer me. I will be truly grateful"Xavier's request took Milan by surprise. Milan wondered what Xavier was planning. Whatever it was, it couldn't be good so much that he wanted to work for him. Milan drinks another cup of tea as he ponders on Xavier's request. "Why do you want to work for me?"Xavier looks down at his lap. "Things aren't easy for me. The gambling world isn't for me anymore. I just want to make some money legitimately and most of all…I feel bad about the letters, and I think it'll be best to show you how sorry I am. Please"Milan couldn't help but let out a chuckle. The whole drama was amusing for Milan as it only reminded him of Daniel
Milan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable seeing Xavier dressed in a suit like the rest of his bodyguards. Regardless, Milan put on a blank expression and got into the car. Xavier got into the front seat as Milan's personal guard alongside the driver. "I see you came on time"Milan says to Xavier, who let out a brief chuckle. "Yes, Boss. Once again, thank you for the opportunity, ""Just do your job, right?"It seemed surreal. Milan was seated in a car with a man who threatened his life thrice. The first was robbing him of his money, which turned him to a loser. The next was sending his threatening letters, and the third was poisoning his drink. But Milan had allowed this man to stay close to him. Xavier was capable of murder. It was evident in his blood thirsty eyes. Milan receives a text on his phone and quickly goes ahead to check it. He sees that it is a text from Mark, which causes him to scrunch up his face in shock. The text read:'Boss, i did some investigating and jus
Ariel sends Milan a curious look, and Milan raises a brow at his secretary. "What is her name?"Milan wasn't expecting anyone. Talk less of a woman as he wasn't one to involve himself with women. "She says her name is Tessa."Milan's eyes quickly darkened at the mention of Ella's mother. He wondered what that troublesome woman could want, having to come all the way down to his workplace. "Alright, send her in.""Okay, sir,"Sophia, Milan's secretary, leaves the office and gently shuts the door. There was an awkward silence in the room between Ariel and Milan. "Well, I guess I will see you at the event then, Miss Hil- I mean Ariel"Ariel resisted the urge to laugh at Milan, almost being formal. "Okay. I'll see you then. "Ariel leaves, and Milan lets out a deep sigh. He finds himself staring at the door with his legs crossed as he awaited Tessa. Within a few minutes, the door is swung open, and Mrs Tessa walks in with vigour, keeping a straight face. Milan intertwined his finge
Milan arrives at the event held by The Hilton's Foundation. A tall large building stood in front of him, filled with bright lights that illuminated the night. A lot of expensive cars kept on rolling in, and people dressed in fancy dinner outfits emerged from it and walked inside elegantly. It felt like Milan was attending a fancy ball. As Milan stepped down from his car, the cold evening breeze welcomed him, and he was suddenly glad he came. Milan stood at the lobby, waiting for Ariel as they were meant to go in together. Milan had just arrived and checked the time on his rolex wristwatch and saw it was still early. Milan adjusted his tie neatly. He was dressed in an elegant white and black tuxedo that fit him perfectly. "Milan?"On hearing his name, Milan turned around to see Ariel, who stood in a long, high slit red dress. She painted her lips a red colour and was adorned in silver jewellery. The red on her matched her red hair, which made her shine brightly. Milan stared li
