The Mafia's Obsession

Chapter 19

"Mr Amos, we should leave now" she panicked after hearing what he said. Mr Amos grinned "they are all bunch of fools, none of them will dare lay their filthy hands on me without dying today" he said his face turning deadly. Julia shrieked, she has never seen this part of him before.

The thugs numbering twelve rushed at him at once. Julia shut her eyes quickly in fear, screams filled the air. Then silence......and gasps of astonishment. She slowly opened her eyes to see Mr Amos unscathed and his foot on Jordan's head. She became confused, she looked around. People were holding their hands over their mouths looking at Mr Amos as if he was a god.

"I am giving you one last chance, apologise to her now and get lost!" He said menacingly. Julia looked at Jordan expectantly hoping he will apologise and let everything come to an end. But he looked up at Mr Amos "even if you kill me today, over my dead body will i apologise" he said. "Then i will gladly grant you your wish" Mr Amos said pulling him up with his already messed hair. He rained blows on his face and his painful cries rented the air.

Julia began to scream for him to stop but he continued punching him till his whole face was bloody. Everyone almost threw up at the sight. He dragged him up with his neck and looked at him face to face "you are lucky i didn't kill you today, but the next time we cross paths, i make sure i do" he said and let go of him. He dropped on the floor like an empty sack. Mr Amos grabbed Julia's wrist and began to lead her out of the restaurant.

Like the speed of lighting, a knife flew at Julia. She turned around swiftly and caught it. If she wasn't a martial artist, the knife will have struck her on her neck and pierce her throat. She smiled evilly and turned back to see Jordan standing in shock. She began to advance towards him slowly with a chunky like smile on her face.

Jordan swallowed hard in disbelief, he couldn't comprehend how in the world she was able to catch the knife. "Mr Jordan, he did a favour by letting you go. Is this how you pay back?" She asked running her right hand over the sharp knife. Mr Amos wanted to pounce on him again, but she held him back. She dropped the knife on the table, took a deep breath and turned around giving him a flying kick.

Jordan skidded in the air for about twenty metres before crashing on the restaurant wall. He tried getting up but he felt like he had been hit by a moving truck. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and passed out. Julia smirked and confidently walked out of the restaurant and Mr Amos followed suit. As they headed towards the hospital, they heard ambulance siren wailing.

"Dr Julia....are you really a doctor? That your kick was very powerful. Are you a martial artist too?" He asked staring at her in admiration. She smiled and nodded "yea i am, what about you....i know you're too but what job exactly are you doing? A bodyguard?" She asked. He laughed heartily, "no no if i was just a bodyguard will i be able to pay for my dad's surgery?" He said looking at her as if asserting if he could trust her.

Julia thought he didn't want to tell her, she began to walk ahead of him. He lowered his voice "actually i work in a branch of the harness group as a project director." He said. It is important to note that anybody working at the harness group no matter the position must be a martial artist. And they are also paid very well and are usually very wealthy. Julia spurned around sharply to his surprise. Her facial expression changed immediately.

Mr Amos was stunned "is everything okay?" He cautiously asked. She quickly smiled again "sure.....i have always admired the harness group and would have loved to work there" she pretended. "You can! After all you are a Martial artist" he said and bid her good bye as they got to the the hospital entrance. He entered his car and drove off, while she headed upstairs to her office.

Meanwhile, Juliet walked to Myron and brought her face very close to his that their noses were almost touching. "Your request? They are foolish, stupid, rubbish and in grant able" she snarled and drew back. Myron smirked "then you can just forget about my help and go get her yourself" he said. "Do you know i can just kill you right here and now? No one will know, not even that sneaky Willy Julia" she threatened walking round his seat.

"If you kill me, sooner or later Julia will finish you and run away. She has big plans for you, you might not survive" Myron laughed. Juliet face colour changed. "Okay...i will consider giving you a hundred million then you forget about the rest conditions. If you still don't agree, there is no way you are leaving here alive." Juliet said sitting back on her chair. Myron sighed, this wasn't what he hoped for.

He cant come here to loose his life though, so he has to play along. "Okay.....i will take the hundred million" he murmured in between gritted teeth. "Good, call your account details for Mr Robertson here" she said pointing at the straight faced man beside them. "I will be back" she concluded and sashayed away into the gloom. Within few minutes, his account was credited.

Myron almost shouted in joy, but Juliet appeared. "So....back to business, your roles aren't really hard. Just be giving us information about her movements. And be careful, we have always tried to monitor her but she always shakes us off" She concluded taking his phone and installing something on it. Myron nodded eagerly "i promise i wont disappoint you. By the end of today, she will be in your hands" Myron pledged.

Juliet nodded in satisfaction and ordered the guards to lead him out. He was blindfolded again and led out. This was to protect the location of the place begin known. If Myron knew he has been under water all these while, he would have freaked out. When his blindfold was removed, he found himself by the roadside, alone. He quickly hailed a taxi and drove to a gift shop. He bought some souvenirs and Julia's favourite snacks.

He headed to the hospital,when he got to her office, she was shocked and touched when she saw all he for for her. "Myron brother, you shouldn't have bothered." She said eating what he brought with relish. Looking at her glowing face and innocent happiness, he felt guilty but quickly subdued it. "Sister when are you getting off work today? I will arrange for a taxi to pick you up" Myron said. Since she started her revenge, she sold her car.

She quickly waved her hand "no no its okay.... You have done a lot for me today" she said in between mouthfuls. Myron frowned playfully "don't be like that sister! You are doing a great job and must be treated well" he pouted. "Okay okay you win. I will be off by six" she said. He smiled and quickly texted Juliet. "But she only takes a taxi after walking to edge of town and confirming no one is following her" Juliet texted back.

"Don't worry, let your men pose as taxi. She trusts me, she will surely get in" he replied and switched off His phone. "I've booked a taxi that will pick you up from the hospital gate by six sister. Have a jolly ride and don't over work okay?" He advised and bounced out of the office under Julia's admiring gaze.

Later that day....

She got off work and headed out of the hospital. Surely, a taxi was there waiting for her. "Are you miss Juliet?" A middle aged man asked her in broken English. She nodded and eyed him suspiciously. She didn't wanted to get in but she knew Myron will be disappointed, so she did. As soon as she entered, allthe glasses were rolled up.

As she tried to get down, she grew weaker. Her vision became blurry, she tried opening the door but the handle slipped from her hand and she passed out. After sometime, the man got into the vehicle. By now, the drug effects have faded. He drove off speedily into the distance.
