Chapter 1

Coran's pov

I remained hidden in the corner, patiently waiting for the intruder that was lurking around to approach my direction. The room was very dark and the reflection of the moon was the only source of light inside but my eyes had grown accustomed to darkness and they were clear as the day.

Just as predicted, I noticed a sneaky move towards my direction, I mentally calculated my moves and with a raise of my fist, I landed a heavy punch on the throat of the intruder.

“ Argghhh,” a loud groan escaped his mouth, making me maintain a satisfactory expression . I turned on the wall switch for a clear glimpse of who the person was.

The first thing that caught my attention was the green snake tattoo on his neck. “ Wait, you are …” I trailed off, trying to gather my thoughts together.

I was very mad and furious because judging from the tattoo, the assassin was from the Vein clan and he is a smaller assassin. What were they thinking when they sent a newbie to me?

I tried hard to connect the dots together but I couldn't. Turning towards my locker, I brought out a pistol and shot it towards the assassin who was witting on the floor.

“ Bloody motherfucker,” I cursed as his blood splattered all over my face.

I moved closer to him to check whether he is dead but luckily for him, he is still alive. “ You are a tough one right?” I said to him while deliberately pressing down on his wound. He was sweating and screaming in desperation.

After seeing that he was helpless and almost dead, I placed a call across to Joe who picked up after the first ring.

“ Boss,” he mumbled in a hoarse voice.

“ Send three guards to my room and come along with them,” I hung up immediately, not waiting to hear his response.

I sat back on my bed, glancing at the door at intervals in expectancy of the people I requested for. Some minutes later, I heard a series of footsteps approaching the door and I breathed a sigh of relief.

The three guards entered in a row and bowed their heads In Front of me, they all looked unfazed and unbothered with the almost lifeless body In Front of them.

“ Clear that body up. He is still alive so lock him up in the confinement and call the doctor to attend to his wounds. We will need him later,” I instructed and dispersed them, indicating to Joe to wait behind.

“ Do you know who that is?” I asked after the guards had cleared the mess on the floor.

I turned my back at him, gazing down at the quiet street.

“ No, I don't. But judging from the tattoo on his neck, he is from The Vein clan,” he answered accordingly.

“ You are correct,” I took out the packet of cigar in my pocket and put it up.

“ But I think this is more of a threat than a message,” Joe beat me to what I was just about to say and I unconsciously nodded in admittance to what he just said.

“ We have never had a clash with them, I don't know why they decided to send an assassin to me and not even a trained one.”

Joe remained silent, seeming to think about something.

“ I think we should set up a meeting with them before we strike back,” Joe suggested. I gave him an eyebrow raise but nevertheless accepted his suggestion.

“ I really need to clear my head, get the car ready, I will be going to the Hot bar,” I instructed before proceeding to take my shower in the bathroom. Hot bar is a popular stripper club for the rich group and that is exactly what I need to cool my head off right now.

The ride to the bar was very peaceful and quiet, we met very few cars on the road and that was understandable, given that it's almost midnight.

“ You are welcome sir,” the bartender greeted me as soon as I arrived. I signaled him to bring my usual to my private room while I settled back to enjoy the show that was about to unfold.

I patiently waited for them to bring the shots that I ordered for and it didn't take long for them to arrive.

“ I will be at the door side to attend to any of your needs sir,” the bartender said with a bow and excused himself afterwards.

I rested my hand on the long couch while watching the performance in the showroom. After some minutes, some girls will leave and others will replace them.

I kept watching but nothing seemed to draw me in. Infact, their performance all bore me out and somehow added to the anger brewing in me.

Just as I was about to leave, another switch happened and the new girl made me pause unconsciously.

I can't say what particularly dragged my attention towards her but she has a very white and milky skin with certain goddess features. A stud was hooked to her belly button and her waist chain dangled in the direction of her soft movement.

I released a heavy breath and cursed silently at the effect she was having on me.

She turned her around professionally and my gaze lurked more on my face, I couldn't see or decipher the expression on her face but I know one thing for certain. ‘ I want to have her,’

“ And I will have her,” I declared, giving an answer to my thought.

Till another switch occurred, I was fully focused on her waist and movement, up to the point that I got a boner.

“ Shit,” I landed a heavy punch on the soft couch, I hurried out of the room to meet Joe outside. Standing firm and serious.

I didn't say anything to him rather I quickened my pace towards the changing room of the strippers. I was pacing back and forth, calmly waiting for her to emerge from the room and boom! Her graceful figure came out.

I was jaws dropped when I saw how curvy and beautiful she was. She is simply an angel in human form.

“ Excuse me,” she voiced out, making me drown in the depth of her sweet voice. I gave her a questioning gaze and she gestured in response then I realized that I was obstructing the door.

I recovered my composure and ran my tongue over my lip evilly while I contemplated the next thing that

was coming out of my mouth.

“ How much for the night,” I blurted out, making her eyes widen in shock.

“ What?”
