CHAPTER 4
1494 Words
IGOR POV
“f**k!” I can’t help but curse when the Manager told me that the dancer refused to meet me.
I was already inside the private room, just adjacent to the cabin where Fahad and others were still waiting.
“How much does she want?” I asked sharply.
The manager kept his head down as my anger filled the room.
“Where is she?” I demanded.
“She is with her friends, sir!” the manager replied nervously.
“Then go and get her!” I shouted, making him flinch. They all knew who I was; that's why fear came naturally to them.
I can kill anyone at gunpoint without blinking. My current position would not be possible if I weren't capable of such actions. I'm in Dubai for two reasons: for business and pleasure. Conducting transactions in the Middle East has been long overdue, and the organizations have been urging me to engage in illegal business activities in the region and pushing me to take control here.
When I saw that woman dancing, everything else faded. I wanted her. Not just the usual desire. I've had actresses, models, women from every country. I could summon one at any time with a single call.
But this one, she is different.
For the first time, I imagined something different: her carrying my child. My father has been demanding an heir for years. Now that I think about it, maybe it's time to heed his request.
My dad is unaware of an aspect of my personality that I have hidden for many years, a part of me that only my assistant knows about. I’m bisexual. There are times when I desire not only women but also men who can provide me with more satisfaction in bed. But once I'm done with our intimate encounters, they don't live to tell the tale. I don’t want anyone to discover this part of me or to ruin my reputation. I can’t help but smirk when I think about those encounters with the same guy.
“Felix!” I called.
“Yes, Igor” Felix immediately answered.
“Go with the manager. Bring that woman here. Do whatever it takes!”
“Noted,”
As they left, I lit a cigarette.
I want her, no matter what. I won’t let Ibrahim take her from me. I noticed him glancing at her with a perverse desire in his eyes while she danced. I can see his lustful intentions, and I refuse to allow him to claim her. I have plans for this lady. The organization is pressuring me to produce an heir to continue my father's legacy as the leader of the Mafia. I aspire to be hailed as the Mafia King, and I know I must have an heir. If I don’t, my position will be threatened, and they might choose my foolish cousin to take the throne. He has been after my power for a long time, and I will not let that happen. I will secure an heir this year, whether they like it or not.
Not long after, I suddenly heard a loud bang from outside. I am in the private room adjacent to the cabin, so I can clearly hear the commotion happening outside. Instinctively, I drew my gun from my waist and aimed it at the cabin door. I am prepared to shoot if someone tries to open that door.
LUCAS POV
Everything that transpired inside the private cabin was recorded. It is crystal clear that the Mafia leader, along with Fahad Ibrahim and two other drug lords, were engaged in illegal transactions. Additionally, they were planning to create chaos within the Emirati government by planting bombs and staging a terrorist attack to divert authorities' attention away from their activities. Fahad Ibrahim, in particular, had a long-standing grudge against the government. With all this evidence on record, Fahad can no longer protect himself and will be held liable for illegal drug dealing and treason.
Backup from the Dubai Police and the Dubai Army arrived at the club after General Brigadier Walid called them. With their assistance, we would be able to capture these Mafia organizations and drug dealers.
We positioned ourselves and prepared to execute the operation. We waited for the guests to leave the club. It was already 2:30 AM, and the club was set to close at 3 AM, meaning everyone should be out by that time. Gradually, guests began to leave, and there were only a few people remaining inside.
We wanted to avoid causing any harm to innocent bystanders during our mission, so we decided to wait until the right moment. While waiting, we continued to monitor their activities using the CCTV cameras we had set up.
While monitoring CCTV, I hear Igor's order. He wanted the dancer brought to him.
Napatiim bagang ako. That woman he is referring too, wasn't just anyone.
She's Alyssa.
My Alyssa.
And I knew exactly what Igor was capable of. Women, men, it didn't matter to him. After using them, he disposed of them like trash. Yes. I knew his secrets. I had been tracking him down for years. And even placing someone inside his Mosco mansion.
Kaya hindi ko hahayaan na mapasa kamay niya si Alyssa. I won't let him touch her. and I have decided na dapat gumawa ako ng paraan para hindi siya mapunta sa poder ni Igor.
Napakuyom ko ang aking kamao. From the screen, I saw Alyssa being escorted by Igor's men. Kailangan kong makuha si Alyssa mula sa kanila.
Damn it.
Nakita ko rin na umalis na rin ang mga kasamahan nito at mukhang uuwi at iiwan na lamang nila si Alyssa. Sinipat ko ang aking relo, we still have 15 minutes para maisagawa ang plano. Itinigil na rin ang pagpapatugtog ng malakas na musika, hugyat na papasara na ang establisimyento. Kaya halos lahat ng guests ay nagsipag-uwian na. Mga waiters at staff na lang ang mga natitira.
Binigyang-hudyat din ng mga agent ang ilang mga staff ng club at pinilit na palabasin ang mga ito. Nagtataka man, ay walang nagawa ang mga ito kundi ang sumunod na lamang.
Unti-unti pumwesto ang aming mga kasamahan upang isagawa na ang pagdakip sa grupo nina Igor at Ibrahim.
Then the signal came.
I quickly move. Kinakailangang makalapit ako sa kinalalagyan ni Alyssa habang bitbit siya ng assistant ni Igor. Kailangan makuha ko siya bago magsimula ang misyon, kung hindi ay mapapahamak siya nang wala sa oras. Hindi naman napansin ng assistant ni Igor na ilang dipa na lamang ang layo ko mula sa likuran ng mga ito.
In one swift motion, I struck the first man at the back of his neck with my 45 caliber. He dropped instantly. The second, it's Felix who barely reacted before I drove a kick straight into his face. He tried to recover but he is too slow. I followed an uppercut that knocked him unconscious.
Alyssa screamed. Nagulat ito sa biglaang pangyayari. She backed into the corner, trembling.
I cuffed Felix and the other bodyguard quickly before turning to Alyssa. She looked terrified.
“Aaaaahhhhh”, sigaw niya. “Go away!” At tuluyan na nga itong umiyak.
I grabbed her hands firmly but carefully. Wala ng panahon para ipaliwanag ang lahat sa kanya dahil anumang oras ay magkakagulo na at delikado na magtagal pa siya sa loob ng club na ito.
“Please, come with me. Kung hindi mas lalo kang mapapahamak”, she froze when she heard me speak Tagalog.
“I’m with the Authorities," I continued, "and please listen very carefully. Ang mga taong ito ay miyembro ng mga sindikato at alam ko na ang big boss nila ay gusto kang makilala at makuha. Sa oras na sumama ka sa kanila, walang katiyakan kung maibabalik ka pa nila ng buhay at hindi ka na kailanman makikita pa ng iyong pamilya at bangkay ka ng paglalamayan,” mabilis kong paliwanag.
Her eyes widened.
Napasigaw pa ulit ito at nagulat nang marinig ang mga putok ng baril galing sa second floor ng club.
“So, whether you like it or not, you need to come with me, and I will take you to a safe place. You understand?” She nodded in response.
I pulled her along and rushed outside.
Doon ko siya dinala sa aking RV van. Ilang metro lamang ang layo. Tulala ang tears streaming down her face. Dahil sa habag, masuyo kong hinaplos ang buhok nito.
“You will stay here for a while until I come back, ok. Kahit anong marinig mo sa labas, don’t ever open this door no matter what,” I instructed her.
Lalabas na sana ako when she suddenly grabbed my hand.
Her eyes filled with fear. n
“Please stop crying!” Nilapitan ko ito at agad na niyakap. I felt her body tremble against mine.
“I will come back, ok,” I whispered.
Then I left.
