The President's Villa : Invasion

It was midnight,the night sky was tar black and the clouds scudded by like huge smoky cotton balls.

The weather was stormy as the silence of the night was disturbed by the thunder which roared like lions as a shower of heavy rainfall fell from the sky wetting the earth surface.

People were in their houses resting or sleeping,no one was seen outside by that time of the night especially since there was a heavy downpour.

In the president's Villa,the occupants were neither sleeping nor resting.they were in fear as the villa had been invaded successfully which was still a surprise and shock to the president's strongest and well trained security men.

The president's Villa had the highest security in the country so it was sucide mission trying to invade it.no one dared try to trespass.

They were tied up and some were knocked off already.The workers were tied and locked in one room as they panicked.

In the Living room,the president by name Martin Cruz was holding his belly as he tried hard to bear the pain he got from the kick this stranger in his Villa gave him.

Blood gushed out of his mouth as he glared at the handsome but cold man infront of him.he was clad in black suit,he had an apathetic expression on his face as he looked down at him(the president) with his piercing ocean blue eyes.

He had met so many different powerful people in his political career but he has never met one that exhibits the kind of powerful Aura this powerful man has.he wondered who this mysterious man was and what he wanted from him.

He knew he had so many enemies but he was sure that he has never crossed paths with this particular man although the darkness was not helping matters at all but he could see a glimpse of his face.

Thinking about it, his face looks familiar.he was in deep thoughts as he tried to remember where he had seen his face but he couldn't.

"Who the hell are you and what do you

want from me?"he finally asked but he got no reply.

"How much do you need?"he asked again but he received another kick from the man.he groaned in pain.

"I want your life"the man finally uttered a word.

"Who are you?who sent you?I can double or triple the amount you were paid"the president added and the man let out a cold laughter before holding his jaw, forcing the president to look at him.

"No one sent me and I am rich enough to afford anything I want so I don't need your filthy money, I am simply a man who seeks revenge on you"he replied.

"My name is Chris Vegas Di Stefano, does my name ring a bell?"he finally unveiled his identity.he pursed his mouth in a self satisfied smirk when he saw the look of confusion on his face.

It didn't take the president long to realize who he was.

He was Chris Vegas the well known Billionaire business tycoon both in the country and outside the country.it took him so long to recognize him.

He wondered why he wanted to have revenge on him,as far as he could remember.he has never had any encounter with him so why is he doing this.

He knew him as Chris Vegas only.where did the other name come from.he was in deep thoughts.

"Di Stefano"the name repeated in his head and his eyes popped wide open as he recalled where he heard the name before.

His look of surprise was replaced with a frown when he saw the smirk on Chris's face.he was right.he is the son of Lucas Di Stefano his mortal enemy.looking at him now,he is a replica of his late father.

He remembered ordering his death,who would have thought that he was alive.he was filled with anger as he glared at Chris who was very satisfied with what was happening.he had waited for so many years for this day.

"You bastard,so you are alive,you belong in hell with your useless father, like father like son"Martin hollered.

Chris was filled with rage when he heard his words.he wasn't even remorseful for what he did.he was thinking that he would beg for forgiveness but he did the complete opposite.

"You are really a monster,I wonder how you became the president, you don't feel remorse for wiping out an innocent family"Chris said to him in a cold voice.

"I will never feel remorse for killing that good for nothing father of yours"Martin yelled.

"You killed my mother too,she had nothing to do with the feud you had with my dad"Chris uttered,pain in his heart as he remembered how his parents were murdered that particular night.

"That bitch chose Lucas instead of me,she got what she deserves,I hope they love themselves in hell, hahaha"Martin replied laughing.

Chris tightened his grip on the gun he was holding as he glared at Martin who was laughing like a maniac.out of anger,he hit Martin with a gun and he fell on the floor,blood oozing out from his forehead.

The pain was unbearable but he wanted to taunt Chris more just like he did his father when he was still alive.

"You are just useless like your father,you better kill me now because I won't spare your life if I get out of this,I would make sure I give you a more excruciating death than I did to your family,you moron,no one messes with me and gets free,no one! My name is Martin Cruz the president of Northcity,no one messes with me"Martin said aloud, laughing at the same time.he was behaving like a maniac.

"Shut up!"Chris yelled,his voice more powerful than thunder.

Martin didn't know why but he found himself shutting his mouth.

"The plan was to kill you but I have a change of plan now,you don't deserve to given a simple death"Chris said to him and Martin clenched his fists.

"I want you to suffer,I will make your life miserable,I would torture you slowly both mentally, physically and emotionally,I will make you go through the sufferings I went through all these years while growing up and remembering how my dad, mum and twin sister was killed infront of me,I will make you go through so much pains that you would plead for mercy which I wouldn't give to you,I would watch you in satisfaction as you die slowly, animal"Chris said to him,his voice cold as ice,his face devoid of any emotions.

Shivers ran down Martin's spine as his word embedded into him like oil soaking in a paper.for the first time in his life,he was afraid but he didn't show it.he didn't want to give Chris the satisfaction of being victorious.

The last thing he wanted was being defeated by anyone bearing the name Di Stefano.

"No matter what you do,you won't bring your family back,they are dead and I killed them,there is nothing you can do about it, this will forever be your source of pain even when you kill me,you will never be happy"Martin stated, letting out a laugh.

"You are right but I am glad that I am able to avenge them,I am sure this vengeance will be the source of my happiness and theirs too"Chris replied him.

"You are lucky that you don't have a child,if not,I would make that child of yours go through the same pain I went through while growing up, that is the only way I would avenge my own pain but unluckily,you don't have a child,I guess I have to avenge my parents death only"Chris said to him and Martin became mute immediately.

His daughter was his weakness, that is the reason he hid her away from the world.he wouldn't want him to find out that he has a child and for that to happen,he has to compose himself so he won't implicate his daughter.

"Well,I don't have a child,your loss"Martin uttered.

"I've had enough of you already"Chris said to him as he hit him with his gun on his forehead, this time around using more force and Martin collapsed on the floor.

Chris raised his hand up to the roof and shot the gun thrice which was loud enough for the people held captive in the building to hear.

"Boss,what next?"Louis,his right hand man asked him.

"Take him to the dungeon and Bomb down this building with the bodies of his men"Chris ordered.

"What should I do with the workers?"Louis asked.

"Set them free,they would tell the story of what happened here"Chris replied wearing his black mask,one of his men handed him a black rain coat and he put it on before leaving with some of his men.

He trusted Louis to do a clean job.

The next day

The just risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early morning activity.

"THE PRESIDENT VILLA WAS CAUGHT IN AN EXPLOSION,THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD"was the headline of the news of all the media houses in the country.

It was a quiet day in the country as the citizens mourned the sudden death of their president.

One week holiday was declared in respect for the late president.

The cops were doing their jobs by investigating the president's death.the workers set free confirmed that the president was assassinated but the question was who killed the president?.this was a mystery that they couldn't solve as the culprit covered his tracks well leaving no loophole.

Meanwhile Chris Vegas is seated in Lorenzo Badmus' office, the president's trusted aide and private lawyer as they discuss the will of the president.

Lorenzo was surprised when he saw that Chris visited him.he knew that something was off and his suspicion was confirmed when he stated his reason for coming.Chris was a dangerous man and the powerful people in the country knew that he was a mafia boss,he needed no one to tell him that he was the culprit behind the president's death.

He wondered how Chris could think that he could acquire the president's wealth.that is preposterous.

He could have all the power in the world but it was completely useless when it comes to the will of the president or anyone.a will cannot be changed that easily.

He also wondered why Chris needed the president's properties upon all the wealth he has.he was a Billionaire for crying out loud,the president's properties was nothing to him.he must have a grudge against the President.

Meanwhile Chris wanted to take the president's fortune so he can give it out to the poor and less privileged.no revenge would be more sweeter than that.He knew the president would be so annoyed to learn that all his hard work was given out just like that.he couldn't wait to see the look of misery on his face when he learns that his fortune was gone.

But here he was,his plan was not working as Lorenzo was telling him that there was no other option to take his fortune and it was illegal to read the president's will.

Chris was not dump,he knew that it was nearly impossible for him to acquire the president's fortune since he was not related to him in any way but he wanted to try out,maybe he could have his way with his power and influence.

"He is not an ordinary man,he is the president of this country so I can't change his will like that"Lorenzo the president's lawyer said to Chris who was impatient already.

Chris was annoyed that he couldn't do anything despite the power he held.

"Is there no other option?"Chris asked in a cold voice.

"There is no other option,"Lorenzo replied.he didn't want to betray Martin who was not only his boss but his childhood friend.

"Then you are useless to me now,I will have the new president take absolute care of you"Chris stood up from his seat as he put on his black shades.

Shivers ran Lorenzo's spine,he knew that word was deep.he knew Chris was not to be messed with.he might harm him and his family.

"There is an option"he voiced out in fear.

Chris turned slowly towards him.

"Tell me"was the only word he said.

"Marry his only daughter,"Lorenzo replied.

"The president has a child"Chris squinted his eyes at him.

"Yes,she grew up in America,"Lorenzo replied.

"interesting"Chris muttered out,as a cold smile crept across his face.

"Why do I have to marry her?"Chris asked,the last thing he wanted was getting associated with anyone bearing Martin's blood.

"The president's fortune can only be transferred to her when she is of age, that is when she is 18 years old but without that,her guardian would acquire the fortune till she comes of age"Lorenzo replied.

"How many years is she currently?"Chris questioned.

"She is 17 years old,"Lorenzo replied.

"Hmmmm"Chris muttered.

"I want to have the details of the hidden president's daughter before noon"Chris ordered with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Huh,"Lorenzo stammered.

"You heard me right,"Chris said to him.

"Okay sir,I will get back to you later"Lorenzo replied in fear.

Without saying another word,Chris stood up and left the office.

As soon as he left, Lorenzo released the breath he didn't know he was holding all along.

He hated the fact that he betrayed his best friend Martin but he was helpless,he had no other option.he has to make his decision wisely so he and his family would be safe.

He wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead before adjusting his eyeglasses.

*CHRIS*

I was glad that I have finally achieved my dream.the dream of making Martin Cruz pay for what he did to my family.there would also be justice for all the innocent people he trampled upon.

I lit up the candle as I stared at the picture of my family in the grave.

"Dad, mum, Tiffany,I finally avenged your death,I will stop at nothing till I make Martin pay for his Crime"I said in my mind before keeping a flower on the grave.

My life is as lonely and silent as this graveyard without my family.I might have taken Martin down but I knew something was still Missing and that's the love of my family.

My phone beeped,I checked it out and it was a message from Lorenzo.he sent an email containing the details I need to know about the president's daughter.

"Stephanie Cruz"I muttered as I stared at my phone.

Martin is really a smart man,he hid his daughter away from the world so that no harm would come to her.that only means one thing,his only daughter is his weakness.

Thinking about it now,I have a change of plan.

I would make his Precious daughter pay for his own crime.her mistake in this world was being Martin's offspring.I am quite sure that she must be as heartless as his father.Like father, like daughter.

I can't wait to see the look of shock on his face when I tell him that I know that he has a daughter.

I will marry her, acquire his fortune and give it out to the less privileged then show him the picture of our wedding.he would be so sad and helpless at the same time because he won't be able to save his Precious daughter from me.

Killing two birds with one stone, no revenge is sweeter than this.

"Stephanie Cruz ! Stephanie Cruz ! await me,you can't hide forever"
