After waiting for half an hour, Alex appears with his Mercedes S600 Guard. Nelson immediately gets out of the car and approaches Alex. Melvin and that fat Ronnie are getting more intense in observing them.Realizing his coming, Alex immediately puts on his tired face. He knows it is impossible to keep avoiding him.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Alex welcomes him harshly. “Want me to take you to your dad’s rotten ass?”That one really hurts Nelson’s feelings, not to mention that his dad has just died only recently. But he tries to endure it, knowing it is him to blame in this situation.“Alex, please!”“What did you call me?”“Uh, I mean, Mr. Davis! Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude, and I know my mom shouldn’t treat you that way. But…”“I get why you have such bad manners as a kid,” Alex cuts Nelson’s words. “Hitting you in the face just once won’t be enough when you have that kind of mother at home.”“I know,” replies Nelson with a weak voice. “You have opened my eyes already. I’
Alex’s facial expression isn’t changed by that argument. He simply approaches that girl closer, and talks so close to her face with a low tone intimidating voice.“I did fuck my wife to get a cute little daughter. But I dedicated my life for that one. I raised money, honored her like a queen, gave her protection, helped her family from the debt, and never looked at another woman since then. That’s what my wife got for the sex she gave to me. And you, what did you get from your customers? $200? $500?”That blonde doesn’t have the pride to answer, realizing her prices isn’t that much to be proud of, even amongst the prostitutes. But Alex forces her to mention it, even by slamming a few dollar bills at her face.“How much? I’ll double it now, name your price! How much a man would pay for an hour with you?”“Uh, a n
“Hey, new guy!” calls the barman as he approaches Dylan. “The owner of the club wants to see you!” “Me?” asks Dylan by pointing at his own face. “What is it?” “I don’t know. Maybe he just wants to know a little about you since you're new here” “But...” Dylan looks a bit reluctant since he has to accompany the customers. But then, that barman calls someone else to replace him. And so, the barman takes Dylan to the back alley based on Nelson’s request. “Is it normal to get called like this?” asks Dylan as he follows the man. “Could he be mad at me for something.” “Who knows! He rarely visits this place. Actually, the previous owner had just died three days ago, and now his son owns this place.” “Oh, he must be a busy person, already back to business so soon.” “Yeah! This is his first day visiting this place after his dad died, and he is already going to start a massive change,” informs the bartender. “Maybe he is going to fire you!” “No way!” But the barman just laughs openly,
Alex glances at the two Nelson’s lackeys. Knowing that Nelson respects Alex, those two decide to step back and leave Dylan alone.And somehow, Nelson has lost his desire to continue dealing with Dylan, and decides to leave. But then, he hears Dylan agitating him.“Heh! Fucking coward!”Nelson stops and glances back. He finds Dylan having difficulties in just trying to stand straight. Yet, that man is still able to mock him.“I know you are just a snotty brat who likes hiding behind your dad’s big name.” Dylan continues taunting him, despite his own condition being quite worrying with face covered in blood. “But your dad is no longer here. He’s dead. Where are you going to hide now?”The truth is, Nelson is indeed a bit doubtful to fight Dylan. He has been beating Dylan for almost half an hour, and
Instead the fact that Alex’s words sound like he is acknowledging him, Dylan feels so humiliated by them. He becomes even angrier, and sends another hit.But because of his anger, his big swing becomes so wide, making it so easy to read. Alex simply steps back once, and avoids that big swing easily.“What was that? Did you seriously try to kill me with one punch? Come on!”Dylan hunts Alex with more punches, but Alex keeps his distance well, not too far, just enough to avoid Dylan’s reach. He simply takes one step back for each hit Dylan delivers.“Stop running away from me!” grumbles Dylan with so much irritation as he sends another punch.Alex gets his head away by pulling his right leg a bit to the back. There he finds that right leg already touching the bottom of the steps behind him.“Okaay!”He knows there’s really no room to step back anymore. Hence, he keeps his left leg in its position, putting an orthodox stance by bending his knees a bit, just a bit.Dylan notices that Alex
Everyone looks confused following their quarrel. They never expected that one fight was sparked with a deep root behind it.“You were just a stranger who suddenly came into our lives,” shouts Dylan desperately. “You never know what it feels like to lose a father when you are just 10.”The two Nelson’s lackeys put on a cringe expression on their faces. For them, kids losing their fathers aren’t that rare in this world.But it’s different with Nelson, who just lost his dad recently. Even he, who can be said to be an adult, is now still filled with feelings of uncertainty after his father left him.Even more so for Alex, who Dylan accuses of not understanding anything about that, knows so well how it feels, more than anyone else. But…“You should be grateful he only got into prison,” utters Al
When Alex reaches home, most of the mess in the house has been fixed. The 5 CCTV cameras that he left this morning have also been installed by Elijah, and have been connected to his computer in the basement. But…“I haven’t changed your bed yet,” Elijah informs while rubbing his forehead. It seems like this old man forgot about that one.“It’s okay! I can buy one myself later,” replies Alex as he escorts the old man out.“You look terrible. Did something happen outside?” Elijah asks.“I just had a fight with some youngsters out there.”“Indeed, most teenagers today don’t know how big this world is. I bet they don’t get enough education at home. I expect you taught them well.”“I don’t know if my teaching suits them or not,” replies Alex with a sigh.Just like usual, he takes the old man to his house. But then, when he is on the way home, he begins doubting his intention to spend the night in his own house.Either because of the thought of the condition of his torn bed, or because he i
“Sorry, I can’t stay here for too long. Actually, Sofia has promised me to take care of you. So, I want you to respect her as well. I don’t want you to create another trouble with her while I’m not around.” The girl can’t say a word, and nods rigidly while wiping her tears. And then, she also notices Sofia coming with her daughter. “Oh, it’s Elly!” However, when she averts her attention back to Dylan, the brother is already walking away, by only showing his wide back at her. Actually, Dylan is still keeping so much money which he got from his scam over Sofia. Indeed everything was only for his sister. But he decides to not give it all to her, worrying that she would just spend everything lavishly like his mother. Giana just lets him leave, knowing how complicated Dylan’s situation is at the moment. She turns around by faking her ignorant face, and then welcomes the cute Elly. That cute little girl also looks so excited, running so wildly by opening her arms. “Aunt Gee!” “Elly!!!
