Chapter five
Angels pov
I had driven for hours the sun went down, I drove into the abandoned looking warehouse, everything was dark and gloomy, well we couldn't do this type of business in bright and sunny places any way, my headlights were turned off, as I parked my car at the usual spot that we usually parked, but immediately I felt that something was off, I adjusted the jacket I was wearing to fell the presense if my Glock if it was still there, and thankfully it was.
Another car pulled up into the district, I xoukd hear the sounds of rats scurrying through the metal pipes on the wall, they turned off their headlights and one man came out of the car, I looked closely at him, I could see that he was wearing a wire, something was not right, “Angel, my brother, how is your brother, and your dad, oh I hear that he got married congratulations to him and his new bride" Anatoly said in his thick Russian accent.
Heading the word married caused me to ckench my fist, almost distracting me from the task at and, “you got the package?" He asked as I saw him tremble, he was holding a briedfcase, I assumed the money was in, I reached into my car and grabbed a bag full of trash but in the outside it resembled the real thing, something was up and I was going to find out what.
“bring the package closer" he said and that was more than enough red signals, he knew the drill, we never being in the merchandise, until the client was in closer at least 2 feet away from the suppliers car in this case my car, if I walked out there in the open I could easily get gunned down, and he knew that, immediately I ducked back into my car as a bullet narowly, missed my face.
“s**t it was a trap!" I reasoned as I wanted to drive my car off police sirens had started blaring really loudly, and they were getting closer by the ninute, I had to do unething and I had to do it now, I was about to slam onto the accelerator when more gunshots were heard, I deove off, through the narrow street and surprisingly all the gun fire was heading towards another direction.
After I had gotten in the clear I saw a familiar looking car, it was Asher's car he has drawn all the gun fire away from me nice going little bro.
Asher's pov
When I saw police men heading towards the direction that Angel was I immediately opened fire on them, they took cover and started returning the fire but I was planning something, I carried a heavy piece of brick and placed it in the throttle, then jumped out if the car, when it got into a dark tunnel, the police officers were going after the car, while I just waited Angels car drove the other direction, so I went after him, he was speeding but narrowly passed by me, he reversed his engine as the side door flew open and I jumped into the seat.
“you are one heck of a brother aren't you Asher" Angel said with appreciation in his voice, “what would you do without me" I said as he throttled away in the opposite direction, “ohh before I forget" I said as I pressed a little detonator that I had in my hand, and we saw bright flashes of fire come from the other direction that the police officers went, and we heard yelling.
“leave no evidence behind" I said again, as we were home free, “we narrowly escaped this one" Angel said, “yeah and we did it together" I said again as he stared at me with his hands still in the drivers wheel.
The Next day: Rosalinas pov
I was walking around a garden full of rose petals and I saw someone at the other end putting on a white coat, I approached him but when he turned back it was my dad the burn marks still on his face, it made me apprehensive, I started walking back slowly, when I saw Mariano at the other end, giving me a bright smile, “there could've been an us but you chose to go over there to America, and abandoned me here" he said harshly as his smile turned into an evil smirk, both my dad and Mariano walked towards me in a bid to harm me, when I heard continuous knocking sounds on my door, and that immediately jolted me out of that night mare.
I sat up oanting, as the knock came again, “its open!" I yelled slightly because the bed was slightly far away from the door, the handle of the door pulled down as the door opened slightly and Gladys slithered in quietly, I wondered how ahw walked without making any sounds with her feet, “miss Rosalina tour presence is required in the dining room" she said, “wait what, I'm just waking up, tell them to go on without me"
“im sorry miss but Master Adrian said so himself, it would be impossible to push off this request" Gladys said again, I just nodded, “ill be quick" I said as she just bowed her head BD left.

The table was well furnished, it looked like a deast was about to be thrown, there was bread, boiled corn, pot roast, a tuna casserole, and a lot of veggies and fruits all arranged in an orderly fashion, Adrian could be seen sitting at one end of the table while Demi was next to him, there were three other empty seats, which visibly meant there were going to ne three itre occupants at the dining table.
In a short while, Asher came down and so did Angel, as they took their seats they took notice of the extra plate and chair the was at the other end if the table, Asher scoffed but Angel showed no reaction.
“so Anatoly was working with the police, in order to shut down our operation" Adrian said, and Asher just nodded, Adrian had no expression on his face, “it still said in the news that he died in a fatal car explosion, nice job the both of you" Adrian complemented, but they weren't little boys looking for the approval of their father, the were angry young men who hated the fact their mother had been replaced by a total starnger.
“we would have to step up our security, and root out any more people wiobwoukd like talking to the cops and telling tham things that they shouldn't know about" Angel said anger still in his voice, “id leave that to the two of you, I trust you can handle it" Adrian said as Asher and Angel, just nodded.
Asher was about to eat, when footsteps could be heard decending the ssir case, they knew that it want one of the maids of the house because they save been given specific instructions to wear low sound shoes, they wouldn't be stupid enough to draw this much attention with their walking posture.
Rosalina could be seen walking down the atairs, she had a pink trouser on and a white striped collarless shirt, she still had her hair in the braid, that she always has it, braided to one side of her shoulder, when she got to the dining table, she was met with the cold stares of Asher and Angel, she noticed it, she knew that the two of them hated her, but what they didnt know was that she wasn't especially thrilled to be there either,
“glad you could join us Rosalina," he said with a smile on his face, you couldn't tell if that smile was genuine or fake, she took her seat, at the opposite end of the table, “id like to make a toast," Adrian saidas he raised a glass filled with wine, as all eyes were now on him, “to the expansion of our family and our business at large" Angel and Asher didn't understand what he meant by the expansion of their business, before he could finish his toast, his phone dinged, as he brought it out, holding a phone in his left hand and the wine glass in his right.
“ive gotta go, and see to this matter, it's about the expansion I was talking about, see you guys later, Demi let's go" Adrian said as she stood up and followed him out leaving only the three of them at the table, the whole place was silent, the whole place felt like a bomb waiting to explode...
