In a dimly light room, filled with tension and lingering scent of danger. Two chairs formed from the head and bottom of a long table, on the head is the Boss, who is dressed in an impeccably tailored black suit.
Loyal crew men with eyes fixed on the boss surrounded the table with a mix of fear and respect.
Like the sunrise that breaks the day,the boss’s voice cuts through the silence, his words were laced with authority.
“You’re choosing to be ignorant and that’s what I like!” I leaned forward with my arms on the table.
“You’re back and you need me to bow to you, don’t you think you’re the ignorant one here!” Luca shouted, and before he could say another.
One of my men grabbed him by his collar and his men c****d their gun almost immediately.
“Y’all are as impatient as your Boss!” He bickered.
“Let him go” I said without moving a bone.
It took him sometime because he was ready to punch him but he had to.
Dusting his collar. “When you’ve decided on how to go about it, Invite me again”
He exit the room with his men and the murmurs began.
My only goal for calling him here was fulfilled by his reaction, he is with the person I’m looking fall.
Almost immediately after they exit the room, I headed out with some of my men and traced behind them.
It was in the broad daylight, I wouldn’t want to do this on a normal day but when something I want is involved, all bridges must burn.
“Lose their car and Lose your life” I said to my driver, he stepped on it as hard as he could.
The chase was getting intense as Luca’s men already got the hint that we were after them.
Just few minutes later, their car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, Pushing out Henry, Who used to be a member of my group and I immediately ordered the car to stop.
In my mind, even though it sounds too good to be true, I thought Luca was letting him go.
Once Henry ran towards the side of the road, the bullet went straight in his back and he slumped on the Camry car which had passengers in it.
“Fuckkk!” I screamed angrily whilst punching the chair head.
Before anything else, they zoomed off and I was just short of words.
They wasted a life that was already useless, he knew nothing!
The more we stayed there, the more attention we would get as the scene was already calling crowd.
In the same spot, we zoomed off and I could swear, it felt as if I made direct eye contact with the helpless woman in the Camry Henry fell on.

I stepped into my penthouse, it was shrouded in aura of secrecy with walls adorned with vintage photographs and ornate artworks.
I throw off my jacket whilst forcing the tie to lose as I grabbed the box of cigar which was lying next to the ashtray filled with butts.
“You all can retire for now” I said to my crew and they all stepped out.
I strut towards the floors to ceiling-window with the cigar smoke puffing out as I sat on the chair, the breathtaking scenery gave me a moment of separation from everything.
It didn’t take the media long to put my group name as the suspect for what happened earlier even though they don’t dare approach.
Their assumption, like they always say.
I spent an hour in the same spot before returning to my master suite for a shower.
I had a towel wrapped around my waist and another on my neck as I stepped out of the bathroom. My eyes drew to the feminine figure laying on my bed and I immediately threw the towel at her.
“Who let you in?” I asked, my voice was hoarse.
“What happened to my baby?” Ella ran over to me, almost reaching for my waist when I signaled her off.
It took a moment before she said something again. “I have access, did you forget already?”
“I did but you know very well that you’re not needed here unless you’re asked?”
“Do you really want me to go?” She whispered, sashaying her hips and staring at me seductively.
“Leave now!” I yelled angrily.
She’s stayed long with me to be this foolish.
As she exit my room, I walked to my closet and my nose filled with dust as disgust grew on my face.
It’s been long since I came here, the whole place reeks of dirt!
I picked my phone from the bed and dialed a number.
“Good evening, Sir” the voice speaks.
“Didn’t I ask you to get someone to clean this place??” I asked.
“You did sir, all the people that applied didn’t fit in the criteria you gave” He replied.
“I’ll ask David to forward you a new requirement, I need this place cleaned, in an out, everyday!”
I ended the call abruptly, the bed was cleaned, probably because they knew I would be here today.
I spent the rest of my night talking with my second in command as there was a lot that needs to be done in our group. I have just returned from a 1 year hiatus due to the issues within family but Alexander Brown is back.
With full force!

Some days later.
I was seated in the boxing ring after long hours of training with the crew.
Sweat dripping down on my chest which was laced with tattoos and healed wounds.
Lucius, the underboss rushed towards the ring I was in. “Boss, the stuff is coming in tonight”
“Is it confirmed?” My brows arched, I wasn’t expecting it to be so fast.
“Yes, it is” He replied.
“Prepare the crew, we’ll be there first” I told him and got up.
Just as I was heading out of the training ground, the penthouse manager walked towards me with absolute fear in his face.
“Good day sir”
“You better have an update on what I told you” I said, releasing the arm bands I had on.
“I do, few people applied but only two meet up to your standards” He forced a smile to explain
“There shouldn’t be an option, it should be a choice!” I fired at him.
“You’re the boss, I can never decide for you”
I requested for their files which he already brought and I briskly viewed it.
Throwing one of the files to the floor… “This one”
He took the other one from me. “Anastasia Clark?” He retorted.
“I don’t want to know her name!,she should start working with immediate effect!”
