"Hey baby. Are you going home tomorrow?" I asked. She's cleaning my study. Or I f0rced her to clean my study by putting some trash everywhere to get her time. She’s been very busy hanging out with Milan, Aurora, and Isaac these past few weeks that she probably forgot my existence so I have to do something to get what I want and that’s her attention.
Its been weeks after my jealousy out burst and I think I'm doing fine now. I've been avoiding Sage because I just don't want to deal with his ass. It looks immature and irrational but I don't care. Mulligan and the boys has been getting weirded out by my attitude towards him but I just put that aside. No one needs to know that I’m f*****g jealous.
"Baby." I called again when she didn't pay any attention to me. "I asked you a question."
"You look dashing today." I grimaced from the comment.
"I look dashing every single day, thank you very much." I sassed.
I'm currently slouching on one of the love seat, waiting for her to clean the mess I made.
"I know, Sir. But today is different. Your skin is glowing."
I smiled when she praised my looks once again. Take that Sage, I'm handsome than you.
"You think?"
"Yes."
I've been using a facial mask on my face. This was recommended by my secretary. I saw her putting this on office days, which is I don’t really allow on my company because work day is a work day. But since I got curious, I asked her and here we are, I bought hundred of pieces of this cucumber face mask.
At first, I thought it was gay but I just want to pamper myself and take care of my skin.
“Thank you, baby.” I stood up to plant a kiss on her soft cheek. “Anyways, I have a present for you.” I announced.
I walked to my build in book shelf and picked up the brand new crime thriller books I bought from sss last week. I had a hard time checking out some books because I don’t know if she will like it or not but Bella is a very appreciative woman, she’ll appreciate and loved everything I give.
“Here you go, baby.” I handed her the five books.
My heart melted in instant when her eyes shined like it was the brightest constellation in the universe. She never fails to amaze in any way possible.
I always crave for her attention but I crave more for every single facial expression she makes because she is the most adorable small bean to be ever exist.
“This... is mine?” She asked quietly. I pinched her cheeks lightly and planted a kiss on her nose then her soft lips.
“Yes, baby. Sage mentioned me that you love reading and watching those kind of genre so I decided to buy you a gift. You like it?”
She looked up to me with a brightest smile plastered on her lips as she nodded multiple times.
“I love it. Thank you, Sir baby.” She said happily. I tried to hide the blush on my cheeks when I heard what she called me.
“There’s my name.” I nuzzled her nose to mine. “Now, continue cleaning so you can read those books.”
I say and left the study room to take my phone. Damon’s calling me non stop since earlier but I kept on ignoring it. When I noticed that he will not stop, I took up the call to shut his annoying ass.
“This better be important, Karlsson.” I scowls.
“Shut your t**s and come to my building now. McIntyre’s here.” He said then ended the call.
I forgot about the whole smuggled issue because I was too busy getting Bella’s attention. But hearing his name once again sent my mood into rage from the hell and back.
I put my handgun at the back of my pants and put my leather jacket before I go back to Bella, who’s still cleaning my self made mess.
“Hey, baby.” I called to get her attention. “I’m going out for a while. Finish cleaning here and lock the door once you’re finish.” I kissed her forehead to calm me down a bit because that’s what she do to me.
She calms me down when I’m not in a good track.
“Oh, alright. Thanks again for the books.” She smiled.
“I’ll see you, later.” I kissed her lips and left.
Once my sight left Bella, my raging anger started to rise again. Stupid f*****g McIntyre. I will f*****g kill that stupid f**k if I fond out that he’s the one who sabotaged me.
No one mess with me and get away with it.
I didn’t know what happened to the whole ride but my chest is pounding and I cannot think rationally because my system is flooded by my rage.
My hand is aching to shoot someone right in the motherfucking head to release all the pressure and frustrations. I know deep down, this isn’t only about my hatred towards McIntyre. Deep down, there’s another reason for that.
And no one needs to know what was that.
“Where the f**k is he?” I asked Damon with so much dangerous tone.
“Hello to you too.” He sassed. I held by the collar and looked at him right in the eye. “I didn’t come here to play, Damon. What did you find out?”
“Calm the f**k down, Leon. Let him go.”
I look at Crow, sitting comfortably on a recliner, playing with a sharp knife on hand. I sighed before releasing Damon’s collar out of my grip.
“Sorry.” I muttered.
Damon fixed his collar into place. “Geez. Did Dolly Bells rejected your ass for real?”
“I kissed her lips right before I came here, for your information, nosy.” I say. Thinking about the kiss and the hugs me and Bella shared this morning to help me calm down a bit.
“Ohhhhh ~ that’s not so friendly at all.” Crow said while smiling like an i***t.
“We are not friends.”
“What? She literally told you that you guys are friends. Keep dreaming, Monzato.”
“f**k you, Damon.” I growl. “Can you go to the business now?”
He’s starting to piss me off.
“Well, Cohen find a lot from that fucker.”
“Fucker? Aren’t you guys close friends?” I asked, lighting up a cigarette.
“Not anymore. It turns out, he’s the one sabotaged you.”
I smirked. I’m not even surprised nor disappointed, I concluded that already. “Told you so.”
“Anyway, he’s the pawn. He ain’t the mastermind. Someone asked him to sabotage you. If you want to know more, he’s already chained up down the basement. Bloody but recognisable.” Damon chuckles and pointed his finger to Crow. “That fucker got bored earlier while waiting for you so he used that knife he was holding to cut McIntyre’s face.”
“He sabotaged my friend. He messed with my bro, he messed with me as well.” Crow winked at me. “You’re welcome.”
“Let me remind you that whatever money that wasted, will go back to your bank account immediately.” Damon said and I nodded.
I don’t care about the money anymore. I am more concerned on who the f**k wants to mess with me and hate me to death. Whoever that fucker is, I will make sure I will wipe them away from my lane.
Yes, I’m one hell of a motherfucker but I don’t recall pissing someone off. I’m a nice citizen of the world, I have no enemies, except my friends. Sometimes, I see them as my enemy because they pisses me off all the f*****g time they can get but other than that, nothing.
I walked my way down the basement. Gripping my handgun on my right hand. I opened the door.
McIntyre’s sitting on the chair, chained up just like what Damon said. He’s face is bloody and full of knife cuts. I observed his facial wounds and I can say that Crow made an impressive deep cuts and that will surely leave an ugly scar.
Not that he will lose any amount of handsomeness because he doesn’t have any ounce of it.
“You’re here.” He greeted me with a smug smirk. "Can you give me a bottled water please?"
My ear rang in annoyance as I heard him talk. From the very beginning, I hated his guts and aura. I literally hate his vibe. Damon introduce him one night from a drinking session. He tried to talk to me and no matter what I do and try getting along with him, I just can’t. I hated him for no reasons.
But now, I have one reason why I hated him. He’s a backstabbing piece of s**t.
“Who asked you to sabotage me?”
“I will not entertain questions.”
“I never asked you if you will or will not entertain my questions. You will entertain and answer mu questions whether you like it or not.”
My jaw clenched and my hand ached and all I want to do from that time is to shoot him dead but I refrain myself from doing it. I need answers and the only person who can answer it is him.
As much as I hate to interact with him, I have to. I need to. I would love to eliminate someone out of my way once and for all.
“You would not like my any of my answers for sure, Mr. Monzato.” He coughed some blood when I punched him in the stomach m, so hard.
“Who and why?”
“Why? I’m just minding my own business at the bar weeks before I met you. I liked your vibes and I love to be your friend, really.” He smirked but continues speaking,
“You hated my gut, I know. But I shrugged it all off because I’m a grown ass man with a decent job. One person who doesn’t want to be my friend won’t kill me. Things went crazy when someone close to you called me and asked me to do a job, which is against your back. You can call sabotaging a good amount of hard work but you cannot call it betraying you because we ain’t that close.”
“Who asked you?” I looked at him straight in the eye, I don’t want him to lie to me.
Someone close to me? First thing that entered my mind is one of my lunatic friends. But, if they wanted me to go down, they are going down too. Since our businesses are connected to one another. So none of them.
They could piss me off all they want but I will bet my f*****g money that none of them will betray my ass.
Who could that be?
“Before I tell you, I wanted to apologise for my actions. I shouldn’t done it but he threatened me to kill my daughter and my wife. I’m a family man and I intend to protect my family as long as I live so I took the job. I’m sorry and I’m not asking forgone, at least not right now.”
"Just tell who and why that person to ask you to sabotage me." I looked him dangerously. I really want to shoot the f**k out of him.
"His real intentions are not clear to me, honestly. I just followed his orders and his plan. I thought I'm not gonna get caught but he never mentioned me that you have your own f*****g FBI. The guy is really a professional, he hacked every account to bust me and he did."
The expression of amusement is playing around his eyes. He shook his head from disappointment. "The devil works hard but Hacker boy works harder."
"Hacker Boy? You mean Cohen?" I asked.
He nodded. "Whatever his name. He's kind of weird though. He's been talking to me about this beautiful girl he met at the grocery store one time, I thought we are friends when they captured me." He chuckles. "He's such a sap."
"Enough with the crap, McIntyre. Tell me who asked you to mess with me and I'll think about it if I'm going to spare your life or not."
He looked at me intently and the moment he uttered that name, my world shattered into pieces.
“It’s your father, Virgilio Monzato.”
