Cillian

Her teary eyes flashed back in my memories, she looked timid and seemed to have lost weight in a few days, I sat down on the black couch in my ward and thought about the decision I had made to let her go, Ethan barged in without caution and I could tell how furious he was, I held the shisha pipe in my right hands inhaling the strawberry flavour in the smoke, I didn't need to be told he had the mind to walked in on me like that

"Do you need anything?"

Ethan stood behind me, pacing on both sides of my ward and I could sense the frustration in his movement, but kept my cool because I'm a man with few words and he knows too much about it

"Where's the girl?"

He angrily asked me, I kept quiet and didn't want to get involved in his madness

"With whom did you order her release? Ethan demanded to know

" Should I seek your permission before I do whatever I want to do? "

I asked him calmly, my stare would make him think I didn't value his opinion about how things are run in the mafia territory and I understand, but I wouldn't make him decide what I want to do as the boss, he should know his place in my life, been my childhood companion brought to stay with me after my mum's death was the only reason I'll not put him away

"I have no answer for you, Cillian never made a decision and regretted any of it" my voice hardened making me feel furious at him, he stood motionless at me, like he wasn't expecting such a response from me

"If you're done here, you may leave my presence" Ethan hurriedly walked out of my presence, and I knew he wouldn't give up easily, without knowing why I let her go, I quickly dialled one of my man's number, the person I handed Azelia to care from her until she arrives the main city

"Marcos, what's going on?

" Sir Ethan knows, I heard he had sent some men after us, boss, I don't think it'll go as planned, but I'll do well to keep her untouched" I didn't want to hurt Ethan because of a woman, If not I would have ordered him thrown to the cell to know who the boss is, I thought to myself, I paused to think it through

"Boss, are you there?"

"I don't care what you do, she mustn't get hurt, understood?" yelled at Marcos from the other end of the cellphone

"Yes boss"

I hung up the cell phone, pacing around the room, I suddenly heard a tap on my door, and I could tell who it was

"Catherine, come in or you go away, I don't have much time to spare" She could sense my anger, and slowly opened the door, she smiled, holding a tray in her hand and I could perceive coffee from the stainless steel kettle she had on it

"I brought you coffee"

"Why, do you want something, it's so early in the morning, you shouldn't have bothered to come"

"I know, but I think you need to calm your nerves, you did well Cillian"

Catherine said to me, I looked surprised at her, wondering how she got to know about Amelia's release

"Weldone my son"

"I'm your Nephew, aunt" I corrected her

"I know, you're still my son because I took good care of you" She smiled at me, and didn't feel offended by my word, touching my chin, Catherine gave me a cup of coffee, sitting down beside me

"I knew about the girl" she didn't stop smiling

"What did you know?"

"You set her free and that's a good decision, you've proven to be a man of great value"

"Thanks, aunt, but my men are standing by watching her from a distance away, any link to Ricci Morenó, and she wouldn't see a new day" I assured her, not thinking twice about it

"I know, as expected that's what my Cillian would do" She took the tray she had come with, walked to the door

"Catherine" I heard remember something

"Get ready, we leave for the main city tomorrow, Dr Gary has long gone and I didn't see why I should get stuck here, I ain't scared of Ricci and his men, I put Ricci in our line of business years ago, but he decided to get greedy

" Is Ethan aware of it? "

" No, he'll leave on his own, get your things ready by morning"

"Okay, no problem" She walked out of the door, and the sound of her heels faded away in the corridor, I lay in bed thinking about the strange Latina lady and felt frustrated about it

Hours Later

The ray of sunlight penetrates my eyes, I slowly get up from my bed, light my Cigarette, walk towards the open window, and look at the foggy atmosphere, I quickly dial Marcos's number, wanting to know what's going on in the other side of the uptown city, the news he said to me got me angry, almost dialling Ethan cellphone and calling him to order, but something held me back, I quickly another of my man's number

"Find that lady, and take her back to the city, immediately and if you can't find her, don't come back to base" I yelled at him like he was the reason for my anger

"Yes boss"

"Give me feedback on your search and I'll reward you in due time"

"Okay boss, I'll always be loyal to you"

He was the most calmly but rudely guy on base, he had no tattoos on his body, and having an innocent look on his face wouldn't make anything him a bad guy, I knew who fit the search, and I quickly washed up, changing to new and fresh casual wear, I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my ash colour hoodie sweater and pant matching the colour of my sweater, and black sneakers, the Saturday morning didn't need clothing's

My cell phone suddenly rang, I searched to see who reached out to me

"Ethan, what do you want?"

"Boss, our ledger has been retrieved from Ricci Morenó, Davis would bring it to base in a jiffy"

"Good, he shouldn't come here, I'm coming to the city in a few hours" There was a pause at the other end of the phone, I heard nothing to say to him

"Why?" he suddenly asked me

"I don't have to explain myself to you"

"I understand, Davis would come to the home to drop the ledger"

"Tell him to give the ledger to my secretary"

"Cillian, it's Saturday Cindy wouldn't be in the office"

"Truth, guide the ledger with your life and bring it home to me, it's an order"

"Yes boss, see you soon, I'm hanging up"

"Ethan..."

"Yes Cillian, do you have something else to say?" I paused, didn't know if I should ask him about Azelia's whereabouts and what his plans are, if he knew I had an idea about his plans to abduct Azelia again, he would change his strategy, Ethan is a critical thinker, he could do something drastic believing he's trying to protect me

"Nothing, bring me the ledger, that should be all for now"

"Okay" he hung up the call, thinking about what else to do, I dialled the man and handed him the task of keeping Azelia safe

"Hi, have you seen her?

" Yes boss, but I hope Ethan wouldn't track us down"

"I don't think so, I think he knows that I know he's after Azelia, he'll want to lay low for a while, just let her reach the city before someone else does"

"Alright boss"

I hung up the call, and walking out of the ward, two of my men standing outside walked behind me, and we headed to the entrance of the mafia hospital, I stood outside waiting for my ride, Catherine walked out too, holding a black portable travelling leather bag in her hand, she looks elegantly dressed in a black gown revealing part of her cleavage, wearing light makeup on her face, she smile upon seeing me, the man standing in front of my car quickly took the bag from her hand

"Thank you" she smiled at him, being a free-spirited person is what I like about her

"You're welcome"

Placing the box in the booth, Catherine stepped into the car smiling at me like she won a lottery game, I looked cheerful at her, holding my hands with her

"Why did you send Romero to tell me to get ready to leave so early, it isn't even 5:30 am yet"

"I have a business to attend to, I can't be stuck in the uptown, like an uptown man" She laughed at my playful word

"Boss, are you ready to leave?

" Yes Romero, let's hit the road"

He drove out of the hospital, and the breeze in the atmosphere seemed cold from the morning chill weather, lost in thoughts, I put on the shade of black glasses in my eyes, forgetting someone was sitting right by my side, quietly biting my nails, I didn't mind because I feel comfortable with Catherine

"Did you have anything to eat?"

"Why did you ask?"

"I want to know"

"Nah, but I'm fine" She didn't look convinced about it, but she didn't bother to ask again

One hour later

I arrived at my penthouse, kissing Catherine on her cheeks, I alighted from the car, holding a black briefcase in my hands, I hurriedly walked but halted my step hearing her call me, I turned back and slowly moved closer to her sitting in the car

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, Cassidy will be coming home during the weekend; please come to the family house; don't keep us waiting; we should have dinner as a family, don't you think so?"

"Do as you please"

"Romero, make her get home safe, I'm keeping her in your care"

"Alright boss"

"I'm no child Cillian, Romero doesn't have to look after me"

"He has to, you're the aunt of a Mafia lord, and you're also a target to be used against me, and I wouldn't want you to suffer because of me"

"Whatever you say"

"Romero, please take me out of here, his words suffocate me "

I walked away, entering the elevator leading to my penthouse, my cell phone suddenly rang, dropping my briefcase on the bed, I slowly moved closer to the wine bar, pouring a glass of wine, but my cell phone wouldn't stop ringing, but I don't pick strange numbers, but it seems disturbing and I quickly picked up the call

"I heard you killed the boy?"

His voice thundered in my ears, I didn't know how he got my number but it wasn't surprising to me, he might have dug out my number from someone else

"You used him because you want him dead"

"I know what you're capable of and I need someone to do my shady deal, he was available for me to use, so I seized the opportunity and made him my puppet, it's a shame he had to die before I could fulfil the promises I made to him, but it's a good thing to me because I have to keep all those money that's supposed to be his for myself " I listened to Ricci ranting words and I suddenly wish I could come face to face with him and break all the bones in his body without a single one left to spare

" I know your thoughts, but I'm sorry it wouldn't be happening soon"

I didn't know who had given him the courage to battle words with me, after all, I gave him the life he has, I gave him connections and he thinks he can double me

"I'll hunt you, and all you have, mark my word"

"You can do nothing Cillian, you run this city but I know my way around the city"

"Time would tell, just wait and see" I heard his mockery laugh, I hang up the phone feeling pissed about it, he owe me billions of money and he talk trash and brag about himself, I paced on both sides of my living room

Suddenly, someone stepped out from the elevator of my penthouse, and my passcode beeped, someone was trying to get access to my house, I pulled my black leather couch open, brought out my axe and rifle, closed the chair again, slowly moved to the entrance of my penthouse, and I was ready to attack.

The brawling brutes isn't a place for the faint hearted, it welcomed some of the nastiest men in London. Mayfair would have been a better place but I had no choice. It was a fight or flight situation but in this case it was more like work or starvation.Back in Brazil, working at bars were a lot easier because I knew the locals and could probably file a complaint of sexual harassment if anyone tried anything funny, but London was different.
