The Mafia's Obsession

Chapter 18

"I suggest you don't make any silly moves if you want to remain alive" one of muscular men warned as drove deeper into the shrubs. They stopped in front of a river, and blindfolded him. He thought they were about to drown him, so he began to plead. To his surprise, they kept leading him passed and elevator and entered another place. Myron knew this place wasn't normal because the unusual quietness.

After walking for what felt like eternity, the air grew stiller and more stale and musty. He was forced down on a chair and his blind fold was removed. The place was very dark, even though it was noon. A bulb flickered on, and he saw a table and another chair opposite. He looked by his side, he saw a young man on dark googles looking straight faced and focused. After breaking out of his confusion, he turned to the young man. "Who are you guys and why did you kidnap me?" He asked with a murderous intent in his eyes.

"You will know soon, just don't do anything foolish" the young man retorted still maintaining a straight face. Myron sighed and slumped back on his seat in frustration. After waiting for close to an hour, he heard clicking heels and respectful greetings. He looked back and saw a lady walking towards him, but he didn't really see her face because his back was still a bit dark as the bulb only illuminated his front. The lady walked confidently and sat on the seat opposite him.

His heart leaped "Julia?" He unconsciously muttered in panic, because the lady in front of him was Julia's replica if not for her strong cold aura that even an ordinary person could feels from a distance. Juliet smirked and gently crossed her legs still smirking to the annoyance of Myron. He swallowed hard before finding his voice "who....who are you and what do you want from me?" He stammered wide eyed. "Mr Myron......there is no need to be tense! Feel free! She encouraged still looking intensely at him. Feel free? With the way she's looking at him? He felt naked under her gaze!.

"I know you feel very uncomfortable about our look alike. I swear to you, am as confused as you are. Anyways that isn't why you are here, you know her whereabouts and all the details of her movements. You can choose not to tell us her exact location, just help us monitor her and tell us when the time is right. We have tried trailing her most times, but she's so clever and always know when we are following her" Juliet patiently explained still looking and smirking at him.

Myron visibly relaxed now, if this people kill him now they will not be able to use his help and sooner or later Julia might leave the city. But what they did not know is that Julia has vowed that till her revenge was complete, she will never run away. "I've stated my conditions and I know you must have heard about them. Nothing more, Nothing less" he said maintaining a straight face. Juliet laughed coldly sending shivers down his spine. This lady is just too strange! Although she looked like Julia, they were not in anyway similar.

Juliet stood up and walked closer to him sitting on the table. "Your conditions......" She stretched her hands and her phone was handed over to her. She dialed a number, it ran for a second and the other end responded. "Am going to send a name and picture to you now. Inform your men to stop searching for him and drop every case against him" she said slowly to the other person and hung up. Myron eyes grew large like saucers "I am free?" He asked still not believing it. "Are you doubting me?" She retorted sarcastically raising an eyebrow.

Myron unconsciously rubbed his palms in excitement. But what she said next made him freeze. "That's all I can do for you, now are you cooperating?" Myron scoffed "I thought you knew all my conditions? There are three more you haven't fulfilled" he said in between fits of small laughs. Meanwhile, Julia slumped on a chair in the cafe looking around feebly with less interest. Mr Amos quickly went to get two sodas and handed her one.

A hint of light returned to Julia's weary face "thank you so much" she thanked and began to sip it gently. Mr Amos sat opposite her and rested his ankles on the table. "So miss Julia like sharing what's up earlier?" She said with a polite smile. Julia sighed and decided not to tell him about her revenge because she couldn't trust him fully. She told him about the situation with the director and assured him she will be okay. "I was just stressed out from the surgery, you know......standing hours on end" she said taking a sip of her soda gently and observing her surroundings.

Few minutes later, a handsome young man that looking like he was in his early twenties walked up to her. "Hey pretty! Haven't seen you around before, you look beautiful. Mind sharing your contact?" He cooed smiling widely. Julia sighed tiredly, there is nowhere she will go and not be asked out. Is it a crime to be pretty? "Yea....." She muttered and began to call out her number. Mr Amos glanced at her in surprise but he knew she was doing it to shake off the guy quickly, but have she thought about how much disturbance he will be to her?

As she was about calling the last three digits, he halted her. "Young man are you blind? Don't you see she is with someone here?" Mr Amos berated him in a harsh tone. The guys eyed him scornfully "but the young lady wasn't against it, was she? Besides I wonder what a pretty girl is doing with an old broke n****r like you" he sneered. Mr Amos was enraged! This little kid is insulting him? The boy who is clearly in his early twenties and him that is in his middle thirties, he has the audacity to talk to him that way? Mr Amos was stunned for sometime, then his lips curled in a wicked smile.

"Kid, I don't want to waste much time on you. Apologize to her for this your disrespectful and disgusting attitude because she's clearly older than you, and be gone" he said. The boy stared at Julia in shock! Older than him? She looked like she was a teen and just fooling around with older men. It was normal, because Julia looks pure and young especially when she isn't putting on her coat like now. The young man didn't believe him and thought he was just using it as a way to get rid of him. "Apologize to her? Why will i do that? We are clearly not on same league and that will be a disgrace to me. I think I will take my leave now" he sneered attempting to walk away.

Mr Amos gripped him like the speed of lightning on his shoulder and forced him to kneel. "Isn't that young master Jordan of the Brock family? What is he doing here? Out chasing girls again am sure. Who is that man forcing him to kneel? He will be in big trouble in no time" the patrons of the restaurant whispered to each other, preparing to watch a show.

Jordan was furious! He has never been humiliated in his entire life like this. His knees were aching badly because of the force he used landing on them. "Boys! Why are you all there watching me beat up? Teach this man a lesson and throw him out!" He yelled at the thugs he brought. Julia heart skipped, they are in big trouble!
