Chapter 3

ROMAN POV

" You're fire, get out of my office" I command nonchalantly as I scroll through my laptop.

I have had enough of Vera, my drug merchant.

She has become so incompetent this pass week that I feel she has to pay the price, despite her 5 years of good service.

" Boss please I need this job. My son is hospitalized and ..." She says before I cut in

" Not my business. You lost goods ward $100,000. You should be greatful that I let you live. You have a month to provide my drugs or you will pay with your life" I threaten

" Please boss. I don't know where I could get such a large sum. Please give me another chance, I will make it up to you " She persist in her pointless persuade at convincing me to reconsider her case.

Women are such pretenders, but I know too much to let her or any of them play with my intelligence.

" Kelvin, throw her out" I command Kelvin, my delta who is standing next to me.

" Right away Alpha" He answers before pulling her out.

" Alpha please don't do this to me" She beseeches me, but I pay her no yields while she is still being dragged out.

I then return to my work like nothing happened, only to be distracted by a familiar masculine voice.

" You really shouldn't let go of a trusty worker like Vera" Mr Williams, my right hand man, personal adviser and uncle.

" Uncle, I didn't see you there. Have you been there long?" I ask ignoring his former statement.

" Vera has been an important part of this cindicate, you can't just go ahead and fire her over one tiny mistake" He informs as he takes a seat opposite to mine.

" A mistake that cost me a hundred thousand dollars" I inform angrily

" And she has earned you millions" He reminds.

" You know, I don't tolerate incompetence. My number one rule is never make mistakes" I remind equally pissed

" You are making a mistake. Roman no one is perfect" He lies

" But you are wrong uncle. I am perfect" I inform looking him straight in the eyes

" That's where you're wrong son. You're not" He informs

" I don't have time for this drama. What do you want uncle. I am sure you didn't come all this way to play my conscience" I say nonchalantly

" Oh yes, I almost forgot. One of the lorry carrying your goods got into a huge accident" He informs

" What?. How much worth of drugs did I lose?. I hope that stupid driver didn't snitch on me to the police. Such incompetence all around me" I yell shuffling my laptop off my desk and stand infuriated.

" Relax. I am talking about your legitimate business. You do remember own a shoe company, right?" He reminds, jogging my memory.

" Why didn't you say so. I will take care of it. I hope the goods are still in good condition, or else that driver is going to rod in jail" I say with a sigh before retaining my seat.

I then quickly lets out a breathe of relief, I didn't know I was holding till now.

Don't get me wrong I love my shoe company, but not as much as I love this cindicate.

" Heartless as ever. Shouldn't you be more concerned about the well being of your employees. Employees are what makes a business flourish" He informs

" And my money is what keeps them fed" I remind nonchalantly

" We agree to disagree on that son" He informs " Oh yes I almost forgot. Your daughter Claire wishes to spend some more time with her father"

Claire is my 5 year old daughter with my choosen mate and, ex wife Sia.

We were happily married for over 8 years, or so I thought ontill I caught her in bed with my cousin Kane.

We go a divorce 4 years ago and since then I haven't laid eyes on her, she doesn't even bother to check up on our child.

Guess it's true what they say, " You can't love who you don't love". I gave her everything and yet she couldn't bring herself to love me.

She scattered my heart and for that reason I will never forgive her.

I hate her, I hate her with everything in me.

" But we see each other everyday" I remind nonplussed

" It's not enough. She claims you never have dinner with her, and you mother. Is it because you're avoiding your mother or is it because of the absence of a woman?" He questions.

Again with the wife issue does he ever stop.

" I have told you already. I am not ready to get a new wife anytime soon, and about Flora, I don't consider her as my mother" I inform sincerely.

In all honesty, I hate talking about that witch, Flora. She abandoned me when I was just a toddler for her lover and when he dumped her, she came running back.

For what?. Forgiveness.

What a joke.

" Yes, especially since you have sex toys and maids everywhere" He says mockingly

" Uncle, please don't talk about my sexuality. I will give my daughter more attention" I inform in a effort to end the conversation

" What about your mom?" He questions

" I have no mother" I inform simply with a neutral demeanor.
