last update2024-05-14 23:18:40

By the time Akex got to the second half the of the mansion, he’d bypassed fifteen dead bodies and disarmed five men from the enemy camp.

The more enemies he fought with, the more he realised that these men had no experience whatsoever. Maybe he was right. Maybe their bosses just picked them from factories with the promise of monetary reward if they joined in the attack.

But what kind of rival mafia organisation went to war with unskilled men? What happened to their skilled soldiers?

Alex was about to walk round a bend in the dining room when he heard footsteps approaching. His fingers tightened over the gun in his grasp and he froze, waiting to catch whoever was coming off guard.

The moment the stranger’s booted feet came into view, he raised his gun and cocked it. He was just about to pull the trigger when a familiar head of brown hair came into sight.

“Caleb!”

Caleb nearly jumped a mile, his eyes widening in fear when he heard his name. His posture visibly relaxed and he let out a

    “There’s really no point of asking him these questions.” The first soldier argued. “Let’s just take him to the boss. He’ll know how to handle him.”“No, you were right. I’m just a servant here. I work for the capo.” Alex cut in.The soldiers eyed him with calculating looks. It was clear that they didn’t believe a word that came from his mouth. “Move!” The second soldier finally commanded.“Where are you taking me?”The soldier’s eyes flashed. “You’re a prisoner. You have no right to ask questions.”Alex clenched his jaw stubbornly and dug his heels into the ground.“I'm here to see my capo. Unless you’re taking me to him, I have no business going anywhere with you.”The soldiers exchanged glances, marvelled at his audacity. “Who the hell do you think you are to challenge us?“I never challenged you.”The first soldier stepped closer, apparently fed up with his bullshit.“If you don’t want me to shoot a bullet up your arse, I suggest you start moving in the direction I point you.” “

    The boss finally turned around and Alex nearly did a double take. Not only did scars mar one half of his face, he was also missing one eye. In place of the missing eye was a lifeless prosthetic that looked creepy as hell. The boss abandoned the Capo and advanced towards them, his lips pulling in a smirk.“Finally, someone who doesn’t recoil at the sight of my ugly ass face. I think I’ll keep you, boy.”Alex stood his ground.“Release my capo.” He said through gritted teeth.”The boss burst into laughter. “The audacity of this kid.” He said, patting his shoulder. “Who are you?”“What are you going to do to them?” Alex asked, avoiding his question. He shrugged. “Nothing much. I think I’ll keep his head.”It sounded like he was joking, but Alex could dictate the note of seriousness in his tone. This man was a boss for a reason. He wasn’t playing around. “Who are you?” Alex asked. “Who sent you here? I know you’re not part of any organised crime syndicate. Who are you then?”All trac

    “Let go of him right now. Or else…”“Or else what?” The boss growled. “If I detect any funny business, I’ll blow out his brains before you even get the chance to cock your little toy gun. Don’t test me.”Alex blinked severally at Tariq, trying to get his attention. Finally, he looked at him and Alex shook his head as subtly as he could in a gesture that meant; “Let me handle this. Stand back.” To his relief, Tariq finally gave in and stepped back.“Okay, then.” He said, lowering his hand to the ground to drop his gun. “I’m gonna do as you’ve asked.” The boss was laser focused on watching Tariq drop the gun and Alex used that opportunity to strike. He counted to three in his mind and suddenly twisted with lightning speed, shoving his left shoulder into the boss’ bullet injury.The boss let out a scream of pain and accidentally released the trigger on his gun. The “pow!!” sound of the bullet hitting the opposite wall shocked him long enough to relax his grip around Alex’s throat.

  • Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon   131 — MIGUEL’S DEFENSE

    “Stop! Don’t shoot! David is innocent and I can prove it…”***Everyone turned towards the voice and Alex blinked in surprise when he saw Camila. Amaya stood by her side and together, they walked into the room. Wait. How the hell had they gotten out of the bunker? The moment Amaya saw her husband, her eyes lit up with happiness and she flew into his arms.The capo caught her effortlessly and pressed her against his chest, breathing in the scent of her hair. From the way her shoulders shook, Alex could tell that she was crying.“There, there, baby.” The capo said soothingly, patting her back gently. “That’s okay. I’m here now. Nothing happened to me.”Whilst the capo was trying to comfort his sobbing wife, Camila was giving Miguel the stink eye. Amongst everyone in the room, only she and Alex knew about Miguel’s involvement in the attack. “Camila, what are you saying?” Miguel asked with a very fake, plastic smile. “This man sexually assaulted you, remember? You must be making a mis

    “So I’ve been living with a traitor in my own home?” Mrs. Maria whispered. “I can’t believe this.”The capo finally decided to take matters into his own hands. He came forward and grabbed Miguel by the collar. The fear that flashed in the bastard’s eyes gave Alex immense satisfaction.“Why did you do this? My sister trusted you, damnit, why did you betray us?” Miguel lowered his head but remained silent. “I’m talking to you, goddamnit! Answer me!”“I did it because I deserve it!” He roared, shocking everyone with his sudden out lash.“I deserve to work in the big city, not David and most especially, not Eden’s pathetic father. None of them can be compared to me. I’m better qualified than them and I will…”Thwack!This time, the slap was so vicious that Miguel completely collapsed in the Capo’s grip. “You will pay for what you’ve done. Mark my words.”***The next day was a very sombre one in the mansion. It was the mass burial of everyone who’d lost their lives during the attack.

    It’s been a week since the dreadful attack on the Guerrero mansion.Miguel was sent to the dungeon as his punishment was yet to be determined and Alex was set to resume working at the head office the very next week. Camilla had not returned from her vacation and Alex was slowly realising that he missed her madly. He missed her too much.Lately, he’d been harboring the urge to tell her the truth before he actually revealed it to the rest. That was just how much he loved her.Now that Miguel was in custody, nothing extraordinary had happened. The video clip which proved that he’d framed Eden’s father was finally uncovered. The mafia apologised to him and offered him his job back but after being caned, Eden’s father turned down their proposal. He was however settled to the tune of five million dollars. Diego was released and after a heartfelt apology, he took over Miguel’s position as the head housekeeper. Miguel’s wife was supposed to be with him in the dungeon but she was only plac

    “If you like her, just go ahead and tell her. I’m sure she doesn’t bite.”Simon froze for three seconds. Then he turned to Alex, his eyes narrowed in annoyance.“What did you say?”Alex had no idea why, but he was feeling particularly bold at the moment. He shrugged.“You have feelings for Mr. Tariq’s secretary.”His assumptions were proven when a flicker of guilty shock flashed in Simon’s eyes. He smothered it immediately, cleared his throat and stiffened his shoulders.“And what exactly makes you think that?”“It’s as clear as day.” Alex replied. “Your feelings for her are as bright as a neon sign, sir.”Simon took a deep breath.“What exactly do you mean?”Was he deliberately trying to act dumb or did he really need a clear explanation, Alex wondered.“All the slicking of hair, tapping of feet and little calls for attention that I cannot even count. It’s so clear that you have feelings for her, you might as well have written it on your forehead. I can help you with tips on how to w

    “Who are you and what the hell are you doing here?”Alex froze. For the next three seconds, he remained completely still, hoping that the boss was talking to someone else. Almost a minute later, when he didn’t reply, the owner of the designer shoes took another step towards him. “Didn’t you hear me? I’m talking to you.”He finally came to terms with the fact that he was busted. He lifted his head slowly and came face-to- face with one of his twin uncles. His eyes drifted to the brass name tag which was pinned to the man’s suit. It read; “Gustavo Alexander, CEO, Alexander Group.”Oh. So this was Gustavo. The first twin.Not knowing what else to do, he bowed slightly. “Hello, sir. My name is David Wyatt. I’m the new head cleaner. I’ve only resumed my duties today.”His heart was thundering like a runaway train as Gustavo stared at him with disgust in his eyes.“You’re a cleaner?” He spat.Alex gritted his teeth and nodded.“Yes, sir.”The silence that followed his reply was loud.

    SIX MONTHS LATER:“Do you, Alexander Stephan, take Camilla to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health until death do you part?”Alex’s heart was filled with happiness as he replied confidently;“Yes, I do.”The priest turned to Camila and asked her the same question. She nodded eagerly as she responded;“Yes. Yes, I do.”“I now declare you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Camilla was glowing with happiness as Alex wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her in for a soft, slow kiss while the audience cheered them on.When he finally drew backwards, he placed his forehead against hers and whispered;“I’m so happy that I finally get to marry the love of my life.”She nodded, her eyes brimming with happy tears. “Let’s be together forever.”“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephan!!” The priest announced.The screams and cheers got louder as the priest raised both their hands to the crowd.

    The moment Blakely left the conference centre, Camilla watched in confusion as Alex started making a series of calls.“Yes, she just left. Get the security detail ready. I hope our bodyguards at the mansion are already on stand-by. Get someone to follow her. We’ll give her thirty minutes max before the operation begins…”When he finally ended all his calls and turned to her, Camilla was way beyond confused. “What’s going on, Alex? You sound like you’re preparing for war.”“More like preparing to catch a snake.” He replied as he lifted her hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles.Camilla frowned. “Snake? What snake?”Alex smiled. “Listen carefully. It’s about Blakely…”***Exactly thirty minutes later, Alex received a call from Peter, his chief-of-security.“Sir, they’re about to resume their operations. Should we strike?”“No. Wait for me. I’ll be there in five minutes.”“Akex, let me come with you.” Camilla begged for the umpteenth time. Alex leaned forward and pressed a kiss aga

    ONE YEAR LATER…So far, Alex had completely frustrated every single one of Blakely’s plan to get him to sign any documents. He read every single document that was brought to him thoroughly before he signed them. He’d also tripled and quadrupled his security, equipping them with modern weapons to enable them to face any kind of threats.There was simply zero space for Blakely and her boyfriend to carry out their devious plans and today, he was finally ready to expose her for who she really was. Alex had left unfinished business in New York when he travelled to Spain and today was the day he finally wrapped it all up. Today the competition between Hunters Technology and Alexander Group was finally coming to an end. Exactly eight months ago, Romanov, one of the members of the Las Vegas Conglomerate had brought a competition to his doorstep. Several companies in New York City were to compete against the Xanders Group of Companies, now known as the Alexander Group of companies. The

    After making sure that the Guerreros’ vacated all the properties that belonged to him, it was finally time for Alex to depart for Spain.Camila still refused to see him and despite his insistence, she claimed that she never wanted to see him again. Despite the fact that he’d achieved his goals, his shoulders hung with disappointment and his eyes were downcast as he boarded the private jet that would take him to New York… away from Camila.Ten minutes later, while he was waiting for take off, his phone rang. A quick glance at the caller ID revealed that it was Tony. His detective. “Hello, Tony.”“Hello, sir. I hear you’ll be returning today.”Alex frowned. Only few people knew that information because he wanted to keep his return as under the radar as possible. Few people being him and Tariq.“How did you know that?”“I’m a private Investigstor, sir. How else would I know?”“Have you been watching me?”“For your own safety, yes.”Alex sat up immediately. His interest was piqued.“Wha

    Tariq’s words settled around the room like dust on a dark, gloomy night.No one said anything for the next few seconds. The room was as quiet as a graveyard… until Mendez broke the silence.“What’s your evidence that you’re really Alexander’s son? You could just be a scam trying to get money from us.”Tariq tried to argue but Alex hurriedly cut in;“There’s no need to enagage them in a fruitless argument when we can just show them prove.”He lifted a finger and one of his guards, Peter, came forward with a briefcase. He retrieved a few papers from the briefcase and handed them to Alex who in turn gave the papers to Mendez.“In case you’re wondering, that’s the DNA test result. It was conducted by Alexander himself before he passed as evidence that I’m really his biological grandson. If you check the date, that test was conducted almost twenty four years ago. Do you believe me now?”Mendez ran his eyes through the papers, his heartbeat tripling with shock. “It can’t be. It can’t fuck

    Suddenly, the television which hung in the conference room came on, displaying footage from the CCTV cameras outside. Everyone turned in its direction and watched in surprise as several tinted, bullet proof cars drove into the premises.“Mr. Alvaro, those cars do not belong to you, do they?”Hugo shook his head. “They don’t. All the cars we came with are already safely parked in the garage. I don’t know who these people are.”Mendez swung into action immediately. He picked up his phone and called the security personnel downstairs.“Seal the building. Nobody comes in and no one goes out. It appears that we have a new set of visitors and I have no idea who they are.”When he was done with the phone call, Mendez put down his phone and forced a smile.“I’m sure everything is perfectly fine. Maybe they missed their way.” He turned to Camila.“Weren’t you about to sign the documents? What are you waiting for?”Camila picked up the pen but once again, they were interrupted by the sounds of

    After waiting for another fifteen and staring at the door longingly, Camila finally accepted the fact that Alex just wasn’t going to show up. He’d abandoned her. Her heart was breaking into pieces deep within her chest but she’d already vowed not to shed another tear for a man.She glanced at her Rolex, her eyes widening in shock when she saw how much time had gone.“Shit! It’s already two minutes to ten o’clock?”All her sorrows forgotten, she hurriedly slipped on the shoes she’d abandoned and made her way towards the conference room.Thankfully, when she finally made it, the Alvaro’s hadn’t arrived yet. Mrs. Maria’s lips curled in a frown when she saw her.“Oh, thank God you’re here. Where were you and what were you doing?”Camila lowered her head.“I’m sorry, aunt.”Mrs. Maria gave her narrow-eyed, suspicious look.“What the heck happened to your make-up? Were you crying?”Alarmed, Camila’s head snapped upwards.“Crying? No, of course not.”“Then why is your makeup looking all sm

    Alex was standing at the balcony of his new apartment when his phone suddenly rang. He fished it out if his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. Tariq.He pressed the phone against his ear. “Tariq.”“Alex.” He sounded upset. “What is this I hear about speeding up the plan?”“Oh. I guess Alejo called you.”“Start explaining yourself, boy.”“Everything he told you is true. I asked him to invite the Guerreros to sign the documents tomorrow. What’s the use of waiting till next week when we could just get everything done this week?”Tariq sighed.“Don’t you think you’re going too fast? What if Maria or Mendez gets suspicious and decide to investigate?”“There will be no such investigations, Tariq. Calm down. In fact, Maria had been requesting that Alejo fix this meeting since two weeks ago. Calling them right now will not be suspicious at all.”Tariq calmed down a notch. “Okay, then.I hope so. What’s the plan?”Alex was alone in his house, but he lowered his voice cautiously like someone

    Alex was speechless. He stared at Camila, momentarily conflicted.“Isn’t this what you wanted?” He asked calmly. “You asked me to stay out of your personal life. You asked me not to pry… and that’s exactly what I’m doing. What’s the problem?”Camila heaved a sigh, leaned back against her seat and shut her eyes for the next few seconds. When she opened them, she looked spent… exhausted.“I miss you.” She whispered. “I miss you so much, David. I really wish I didn’t have to marry Hugo but I have no choice. What should I do? Help me.”More tears slithered down her smooth cheeks and Alex’s self control nearly snapped. He dropped his cleaning supplies and came closer, pausing just beside her table.“If you need my help, you’re gonna have to tell me what’s going on. Everything.”She blinked at him. “Won’t you hug me first? Won’t you comfort me?”Alex nearly leapt forward and wrapped her in his arms but he physically forced himself to stay put.“The fact that I’ve decided to help you doesn’t
