Chapter 6

Charles

Hearing my phone ringing off, I stop looking for the file in the file cabinet and head to my office table to pick up the ringing device. Noticing the head of hospital security I quickly connect the call and put the phone on my ear.

“Master, he is packing his bags, I think he is trying to escape the facility”, says the guard on my ear in one breath. I sense the guy’s fear, frustration, and confusion. He should fear, for one mistake with Zeno hell will break loose.

I assign the guy to look after the love of my life, to keep him safe. He is doing well if he reports to me, I hate it when people make decisions that could harm my people.

A smile painted my facial feature, I find this whole situation funny. Two days ago he promised to behave and remain in bed until he fully recover, but now he is escaping the hospital, I would like to see what he plans on doing. While enjoying seeing him running in circles, he will end up in my arms. That little man is mine.

“Let him do whatever he is doing without interrupting him, just watch him from the distance. Don’t let him get out of your site.” I tell him before cutting off the call.

Getting back at my desk I sit down and log in to the security system of the hospital. I want to watch him do what they claim he is doing. I find his childishness cute. I wish I found him under different circumstances, I would have kept him by my side, but lately, I am not so sure about my side is safe.

Two years back I lost my father, he died after being betrayed by his friend who worked with his mafia nemesis behind his back. I have been screening and evaluating everyone around me since my father’s death. He was poisoned, and he died at the hands of his own personal chef. The guy who cooked his food every other day. From the investigation, we found out that his friend hired the chef for the job. Not once had the chef come with pure intentions of earning a living. He was an assassin from day one.

With everything that is going on currently I opt for keeping Zeno safe wherever he is. I almost went crazy when I received a call from one of my men in Tom’s club telling me that Zeno has tried to escape the club and that Tom was planning of making an example of him. He is my man, not a sampling object. I will surely avenge him on Tom in due time, now my focus is fully on the mafia circle. I can’t risk anyone finding my weakness, my love.

I pick up the phone on my desk, long distracted from my original plan. Since Zeno has already escaped the hospital I have to make plans to keep him safe from being harmed by the old hag called Tom.

Soon the call connects to the other side, “Arrange a driver to take me to Tom’s bar,” giving the order to my secretary, I don’t even wait for a response before being on my feet heading for the exit. I need to buy Zeno from Tom. Right now that is the only way to keep him safe while he is not on my side.

In two hours I see myself fast approaching the border separating the club from the city. The place where the bastard’s guards were abusing my man, Zeno. I am still proud of myself for getting there on time, otherwise, they would have molested him before taking him back to the club.

I still cannot understand the reason behind Tom choosing to e*****e people instead of giving them the deals they cannot refuse. That is the best way to do business, it would have prevented all his troubles that includes slaves attempting to escape every now and then. Good because I will suggest that to him during our meeting.

Arriving on the club’s grounds I see Tom coming out to welcome me. If only he knew how angry I am at him. I see the b*tch called Belinda following him as expected. She sashays her hips as she walks fast overlapping Tom to approach me. I am not going to like this. Not even one bit.

Yep just as I thought, she throws her body in my arms. I just stand still watching her do her nonsense in peace. I hate it when I have to teach people how to behave with me.

“Tom get your s***k off me, before I blow her brains off,” I barked at Tom, feeling my patience running very little with each passing second. I am in his territory, I can’t do as I please with his girls but he had to get them in check. I have been with Zeno every time I come here, by now he should be aware of whom I like intimately.

“Linda dear, get off him,” Tom softly cooed his sugar baby. Wow! I don’t strike his fear, not even a little. With time all that will change, I will return my father’s glory and keep Zeno safe, right next to me. I will just play it by ear for the time being.

Minding my business I watch as Tom pacifies her, cadging her in his arms. The scene looks disgusting, Tom should be home raising his grandchildren but here he is making out with a girl as young as his lastborn daughter, that if he has one.

“Dr. Charles, please get inside,” mutters Tom as he leads the way, I assume he is taking me to his office to discuss the new sugar baby he will offer me since Zeno is nowhere to be seen.

“I am here to see Zeno, why are we heading to the room that is not his?” I ask Tom, Playing dumb, pretending not to know that Zeno escaped the club.

“Let us discuss all of that in Private Dr. Charles, you’re my best customer surely you deserve an explanation,” replies Tom while keeping his focus on the stairs.
