LIGHT for DARKNESS

EPISODE 4 - AUGUST

Getting to my gym on the second floor of my company, I changed into my boots, shorts, hand wraps and gloves.

 In the middle of the spacious room, a young man about 39 years hung upside down from the ceiling. He worked in one of my cocaine warehouses and tried stealing from me. Not only did he steal from me, but he also tried to hide from me. That caused me a lot of money tailing him. So, I decided to release my anger on him.

 Flexing my body a little, I walked close to him and threw a fitting punch first to his torso, next, to his groin and nose. He screamed in pain.

 "You made me lose $40,000 looking for you". I threw another punch on his face and now with rage, I started punching repeatedly on his torso until blood started dripping from his nose and mouth. I stopped punching to catch my breath and drank a glass of water. 

"Take him down". One of my bodyguards standing behind me unhung him, and he landed on his stomach coughing out blood.

 I felt more relaxed now. Grabbing a fist full of his hair, he grunted in pain, which was a sign that he was still breathing. I leaned close enough to his ear, making sure everything I said sank deep into his head. 

"You tried to steal a product worth $13,000 from me plus the $40,000 I spent on tailing you. Now, with an interest of $5,000, everything summed up to $58,000. You have four months to pay up or else, I won't just use you as a punching bag, I'll feed you to my dogs. Do you hear me?", I slapped him across the face to make sure that he understood my threat. He nodded, giving me a signal that he got what I was saying.

 "I expect you to reply to me with words", I punched him hard on his jaw, and he grunted. 

" Yes, yes, I understand", he whispered as he could barely talk. Then I let go of him.

 "Get this mess out of here", I told my guards.

 I went to the gym bathroom to freshen up.

Before bathing, I put a call across to my stylist asking him to send another outfit to my gym dressing room. 

I ran the shower, making sure it was cold enough, undressing and dumping the boxing gear in the laundry. Stepping into the cold shower, I bathed with my strawberry scented body wash, shampooed, conditioned my hair and rinsed myself. I wore my bathrobe and went to the gym dressing room to get dressed. 

Already, there was a Dior grey suit, white long sleeves shirt, a brown Milan belt, brown shoes, and cuff links with my initials "AA".

After dressing, I was about to call a hook-up to satisfy the rising need within me but, my phone rang and it was one of my associates. He has been looking at expanding for a while, and he needed my protection. Maybe he finally made up his mind. 

"To what do I owe this call?" he explained that he needed to see me and, go over the terms and conditions for the business he was proposing. Since I was just going to spend the afternoon with a hook-up, why not drop by and hear him out. Usually, they come to see me but, I guess he is just fortunate. I ended the call and informed my guards that we were heading out to 115 Grayson Avenue immediately.

 I left the gym and headed to the elevator to get to my car and, we took off.
