I took two steps at a time as I walked through the door, bursting out in a quiet room. The room is narrow, it’s walls brick red.
My pace slowered as I expected the man to burst out and at just the right timing, the window lace pulls away, and he stumbled down on his back. He stands up immediately as he sighted me, taking a proper stance to look at me. My eyes glowered with hate as I watched him.
I felt the vein pop out at the side of my neck as I gritted my teeth angrily, my palms moulding up into a fist. His eyes lowers to my hand and then back to my eyes again. I saw the hesitation in his eyes. He knew who I was and he knew he couldn’t take me if he wanted to fight for his life. I knew Astrid and the other men must have gotten to the back now, and Dani was still at the front. He was completely surrounded.
” What do you want?! ” He asked boldly, faking the bravery I knew he didn’t have in him.
I wanted to laugh.
” If you didn’t know what I want, you wouldn’t have been running when you saw me. ” I replied, my voice coming off as a tender snarl.
He starts stepping back ” I don’t know what you’re talking about ”
” Then how about I give you an insight then? Jamie Templeman “I said.
He doesn’t flinch or show any sort of reaction. He was good at this. But I was better. I’m the master of this whole event.
” What about him huh? ” He yells.
” If you knew me well you’d know that I don’t have time for this and you would tell me what I need to know ” I told him, releasing my fists.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
” I can’t do that. He’ll kill me ”
” Oh even I will kill you be rest assured ” I smirked at him.
He lounges at me, throwing a punch which I easily dodged, hitting the back of his head with the sole of my shoe which sets him stumbling forward, only catching himself with the help of the wall. He tries to run through the door and back to the party but I moved in closer and punched him on his cheekbone and grabbing him by the collar the same time.
He swings an arm at me and missed. Then I pushed him back on the floor, just in time for Astrid to burst in from behind me.
Astrid lands a punch on his nose, breaking it. I turned around and walked straight out.
I felt angry, so angry I wanted to hit every single person who pushed their bodies against mine as I walked back through the party room. I was able to keep my anger on check before reaching up to Dani, who had taken a pink seat for customers next to the hairdresser. She seemed from the look fo things to be less frightened even while he’s sitting that close to her. My lips lifted into a smirk.
I walked out and Dani followed suit. Astrid walks back out with the man, his hands yanked behind him with the rest of my men. People stood looking but I didn’t care. They knew better than to involve themselves in my business or something as lethal as this in general.
We drove a couple of miles in the dark until we reached the destination. My torture house. Anyone would think this was completely uncalled for but I took my course I’m the name of my uncle seriously and anyone who was ever involved with Jamie Templeman would pay in ways they could never imagine.
The house is a wooden cottage at the middle of a forest. I liked bringing my hostages here to show them what it really meant to cross me. But I would be giving Jamie Templeman a different kind of death.
After getting him inside and strapped to a chair, I decided to step into another room and take a drag, Dani always standing right beside me. He was able to convince me after a couple of drags to take the night off to rest. We should go to my hilltop vacation house at the east side of the city. I didn’t object, I needed a rest.
The house is big, with tinted dark glasses, surrounded with hills and plants. It was beautiful, with the air howling around the house especially during the summer. It had been a gift from my uncle for my 20th birthday. As I stepped into the empty house now, I could remember all the fun I had with all the girls I’d slept with here.
I flung my suit over the black lounge and started to undo my tie.
” Do you think that it’s right bringing him all the way to the cottage? ” Dani’s question cause me to turn around, irritation building up inside me.
” Would you care to elaborate further Dani? ” I asked him.
” I mean he’s just someone who worked for Jamie Templeman….. “He started but I cut him off immediately.
” Enough reason why he should be in that fucking house, Dani! ” I screamed even though deep Inside I wished I could reduce my volume . But I was just too pissed at the moment to control literally anything ” God, Dani don’t you even get it? He fucking killed my uncle! Santiago DeAngelo was my freaking father! But you wouldn’t know that would you? Now listen, I am just beginning and by the time I’m done, Jamie would beg me to kill me, to show him that little mercy he never even showed my uncle and I would deny him that! ”
” You know I would go through this with you right? ” Dani says, forcing words to roll down my throat. And I just watched him.
I looked to the side, ruffling my hair with my hand frustratingly before looking back at him and speaking ” I know that, Dani. Why do you think you’re here? But I want you to know that whatever I do now, I do to honor my uncle, ” my voice broke, my throat dried ” he was the best thing that ever happened to me and Jamie took that away from me. I would not rest until I have gotten to him, Dani. ” I turned my back at him and headed towards the long spiral stairs ” we won’t be leaving until he tells me what I wanna hear. ”
I disappeared up the stairs, knowing fully well that that motherfucker was a hard shell to crack. But I would never stop.
