The Mafia's Obsession

Chapter 17

She staggered out of the director office, using the wall as support. Her head was spiraling "it has to be at home......yea it has to be...." As she comforted herself and headed to her office, she bumped into someone. "Am sorry.....i wasn't looking at where i was going, i apologise" the man she bumped into apologised and began to help her pick her things that scattered on the floor.

Julia quickly joined him and they stuffed the things into the bag. "Mr Amos! How is the patient faring?" She said beaming with smiles as she saw the face of the man as he handed over the bag to her. Mr Amos smiled "Dr Julia, i didn't even know it was you. My dad is fine, thank you for your hard work" He said. The patient she just finished attending to was his father, so he was very great full to her. "Its nothing Mr Amos! I was just doing what i suppose to. Saving lives is what i live for, there is no need to be so polite.

" Its a good thing he was brought early enough, if not his condition would have been precarious" she said. As they chatted they headed towards her office. As she was about to enter, he asked "Doctor....earlier i noticed you were not too okay. Mind grabbing a drink and sharing?" He asked softly. She smiled, "sure Mr Amos! Am less busy now...." She replied and they headed to a cafe close to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Roseline sighed and shifted the id card back to Myron who was still smiling cheek to cheek in triumph. "So.....are we even? Do you accept my conditions?" He said swiveling his chair from side to side gently. "I don't have the power to make such decisions. Let me consult the upper echelons" she said defeated. Myron eyes widened "you have someone higher than you?" He asked in surprise. But she just ignored him and went to a more concealed part of her office.

Myron was reeling in shock "how more powerful and secretive can this people get? If this big building was just a branch, then how will the head now be?" He questioned himself in wonder. After making sure Myron was not following her, she dialed Juliet. "Hello?" Juliet cold voice came through making cold shiver run down her spine. "Hello miss Juliet, A young man came to the company today. He claimed he knows where Julia is and even brought her identity card." Roseline said.

"Seriously?! Then what are you waiting for? Let him give you her information and give him the money. Hurry up!" Juliet said excitedly on the other end. "But there is a situation madam, his terms are outrageous! Can you believe what the jerk told me....?" She said and listed all the terms Myron gave her. There was a long and loud laughter on the other end, Roseline face turned cold as she listened to the laughter on the other end.

"Miss Roseline must i tell you everything? Why does your brain walks so slowly? Juliet scolded. "Just take him out, use your artistry to subdue him for a while. My men are on their way. I can't believe there is someone miss Roseline cannot handle" she snickered and hung up before she could reply. Roseline sighed "guess force is the only way to go....." She said a cold smile creeping on her lips. Upon seeing Roseline come out, Myron smile grew wider. "Thought about my request? Agreed?" He said standing up. Roseline smiled seductively and moved closer to him.

Myron heart leaped in joy " Sir i think your request cannot be refused, you are the only one with the information.....what can i do?" She said rubbing his chest affectionately. Suddenly like flash, she grabbed his both hands and twisted them to his back. She kicked his legs from back and he staggered, she tightened her grip on his hands. Myron probably anticipated this move so he was not surprised but smiled instead. "Miss Roseline what do you think you are doing?" He asked feigning innocence.

"Just a little exercise, Mister..... Hope you don't take it much to heart" she snickered pinning his chest to the wall, while still holding his hands behind him. To her surprise, he just laughed softly "Miss i will suggest you free me now, you are a beautiful lady. If i inflict an injury on you now, it will take months to heal." He said. "That isn't going to happen" she said tightening her grip, not letting her guard down for a minute. Although he is not a martial artist like her, he had been a robber and kidnapper so dealing with a small fry like her will not pose a real threat.

But he wasn't interested in beating people like her, after all she was just following orders from above. "Guess i have to be ruthless then" he said softly. Roseline felt her heart jolt a bit but she tightened her grip on his hands. Like lightening, Myron kicked her stomach hard with his leg. "Ah......." She yelped and freed his hands to clutch her stomach. "I warned you, didn't i?" He said and turned to leave but Roseline quickly picked up his glass he used to drink and hurled it straight at him.

If Myron was not fast enough, he would have passed out because of the force she used. Myron effortlessly dodged it. "looks like you don't want to give up. Did you know how many bullets I've dodged in my life?" He said advancing to her slowly, hoping to intimidate her. But she didn't give up, she punched him on his chest. Although it look ordinary, the force behind it was terrifying. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He never expected her to be this powerful. He was beginning to feel a dull pain in his chest.

As she was about to strike him again, he caught her hand. "Looks like you haven't learnt your lesson" he said and twisted her hand forcefully. She yelped in agony, he lead her to the wall and bashed her head against it forcefully twice. Rose line's eyes spin for sometime before she regained herself, he had left. She quickly snatched her phone and called Juliet. "Young miss are your people here already?" She asked quickly. "Yeah, they are downstairs waiting for you...." Juliet said cheerfully.

Roseline gritted her teeth "he got away young miss, although he is not a martial artist, his strength is terrifying" she said between her teeth. Juliet laughed heartily "i didn't expect you to defeat him though. I was just using you to buy time for my men" Juliet snickered and hung up. Roseline sighed in relief, if truly they expected her to capture Myron and she failed woefully like this, her position will be taken from her faster than she could say 'Jack'. Juliet ruthless nature put them all on the edge.

Meanwhile, some of Juliet's men had entered the company and saw Myron leave Roseline office. They followed him discreetly, Myron not suspecting a thing hurriedly exited the company. But as soon as he stepped out of the company and walked down a little, a car halted in front of him. Juliet men knowing that they couldn't abduct him in front of so many people, posed as a taxi instead. "Are you heading somewhere sir?" The driver asked softly. His facade was so clean that Myron didn't suspect. He just nodded and got into the vehicle.

But to his surprise, as soon as he entered two men entered from both doors almost simultaneously, stuffing him in the middle. "What the........" He said but he was cut short as a gun was pointed at his head and all the glasses were rolled up almost immediately.
