The Unknown Master

Writer's POV:

The relentless weather kept its aim, blowing hot breeze everywhere. The soprano bewitching voice singing through the radio in the car as it drove through the less busy road. The sounds of other cars that drove by on the smooth road added to the taste of the melodious song. From the view of the window, tall skyscrapers stood there, the sun shining on the classic buildings giving it an amusing sight to watch.

The usual smell of expensive colognes fled the air, the whole place screaming money.

" Long trip, sir."

The cool alto-like voice bellowed as he fixed his gaze at the front mirror, taking a slight look at the man seated behind before retrieving his eyes and focusing his gaze on the road.

" Not quite impressed, just two months trip to Sanbul and upon arriving back here, nothing seem to change,"

The deep velvety voice professed as he kept aside the magazine in his hand and gaze at the time on his wrist watch. He scoffed.

" 4:56pm already,"

He professed with a shake of his head.

" It is sir,"

The chauffeur said, nodding his head in agreement. The song does wonders to him as he slowly and rhythmically began to tap his finger on the steering wheel.

" By now, at Sanbul, it could be 1pm or close to two,"

The chauffeur chuckled.

" Noracia is totally different sir and unique in it own aspect, Sanbul too and the time zone are nothing close to being common, not at all,"

The relentless hum and immediate silence was the responses the chauffeur got. The drive continued until the evening fell.

Noracia was a city, a notorious city, prominent for its high rate of criminal abduction but aside that, Noracia was the most respected city, rich in resources. Only millionaires and billionaires could afford to live in a place like that but specifically, Noracia had a lot of gangsters and Mafias residing there giving the city a wild fame of power and danger.

With all the Mafia fraternity, there was only one Mafia organization with the highest ranking in the whole city. The Night shaders.

The thing to know about them is that nobody or anything can pull them down.

The ride soon reached its destination. The chauffeur climbed out of the car and casually walked over to the back, calmly he opened the car whereas the man stepped out, dusted his suit as his eyes inspected the mighty mansion in his front. The glittering light illuminated the mansion reflecting a ray of gold in the evening time.

The extravagant mansion stood high and nervy, it being an epitome of luxury, flourished in billions, painted all in pure gold, indeed, it was the most mightiest mansion in Noracia.

" Welcome back Master,"

The two maidens who came forward to take the briefcase which the man held said in unison and bowed their heads.

As usual, their greetings were ignored. The man casually walked into his mansion.

"Master,"

A lady dressed in a short black leather gown bowed before him before walking behind him to pull off his suit revealing the white long sleeve he wore beneath the suit.

" Welcome home Master, how did it go?"

The lady asked after dropping the soaked suit on the glamorous couch.

" Good,"

The man said, undoing his buttons.

" Mrs Julia is here Master, she arrived about two hours ago. She said she needed to take your blood sample for the test, though, I thought it wasn't necessary,"

The man shook his head.

" Where is she?"

" The suite,"

While the lady answered, one of the maids from earlier arrived with a tray of classic glass cups filled with expensive wine. The man took the cup and took a shot then returned the cup back on the tray before walking past the maid who respectfully bowed.

The lady, however, trailed behind the man.

" How many others know of my arrival,"

He questioned, his voice soaked with something that seemed to be fury.

" Not much Master,"

" How many?" The man abruptly stopped walking and slightly turned over to glance at the lady.

" Just I, Mrs Julia, the two maids and the chauffeur. At least, for now."

" And Luis?"

" He's out on the mission you sent him Master,"

"And about you? What have you done concerning the Chief?"

Now, this was the point where the lady was rendered silent and immobile. Her facial expression appeared to be unfulfilled.

" I'm working on that Master, I just need time...and support, I can't do this task alone,"

The man hissed in anger.

" And you think I care?" He bursted. His voice connoting rage.

" Listen, I trusted you on this job and that is why I gave it to you and if you want that trust for infinity then you must do what you must do,"

The lady bowed.

" Definitely Master,"

From behind them, the echoes of heels against the tiled floor multiplied as it became louder and nearer to them. This made the man turn over, intensively gazing at the direction of the heels, there he saw a woman, slim fitted, tall, flawless and most of all sexy. She smiled as she got closer. Her long jacket obstructing her supposed exposed backside. Her front view had pulled a smile on the man's face. Apparently, she was putting on a transparent nika, her underwear being visible. Her armless crop top showing off her bare breast, her straightened nipples poking through the thin fabric obvious that she didn't have a bra on.

" Mr Pedro,"

She curtly bowed, her scent now filled the spot.

" Welcome back, how was your trip at Sanbul?"

" Tiring,"

She chuckled.

" You'll need a massage to pull the stress away, won't you? Something I'm capable of,"

" We can start now,"

The man, Pedro sauntered closer to the lady who then locked her arms around his neck.

" Not yet, I need your blood sample first to carry out the necessary test to find out what is really wrong with you and until then we shouldn't be spending time together,"

She released him, her gaze going to the person who stood behind him.

" I've been here since two hours ago, patiently waiting for your arrival and now that you're here, I'd like us to get into business. I have other clients waiting for me,"

Pedro remained mute, his eyes fixed at his wristwatch for a split second.

" Have the drugs been purchased?"

His question was thrown directly at the lady behind him.

" It has already arrived, Master. It's in Mrs Julia custody,"

The lady answered, her hands crossed behind her back as she sternly locked her eyes on the doctor, Mrs Julia who also had eyes on her.

" Which one of them?"

Asked Pedro as he fulfilled in unbuttoning his shirt and took it off, stretching it toward the lady who didn't waste a second to collect it and just immediately the maid from earlier appeared with a first aid box and handed it over to the doctor, Mrs Julia.

" Nicotine and Cocaine,"

The lady answered, earning a brief warm chuckle from him.

" I like that,"

" Shall we head away now?"

Mrs Julia asked, locking her arm into his as they both strode away, walking through the large sparkling stairs, their shoes clicking echoed as they made it to their destination.

The room they entered, encompassed a spacious high quality background, showered in light purple colors, larger and comfortable bed with luxurious furnishings, the room was filled with natural light, the large windows offering a stunning view exuding the opulent lifestyle of Pedro.

Pedro took his seat on one of the sumptuous sofas.

Mrs Julia however, extracted an injection from the first aid box and scooted over to him, running her fingers on his bicep before inputting the injection, extracting a small portion of his blood. Finishing this, she released his blood into a small blood bag.

" All done,"

She wiped away the blood stain from his bicep.

" The drugs?"

Mrs Julia hesitated for a while before walking towards the nearest drawer to take out a black briefcase.

" Your drug intake is quite alarming, Master.P"

Keeping it down, she unlocked the case revealing a sealed packed drug that was arranged in it. With delight, Pedro ran his fingers over them, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

Opening his mouth to say something, a knock on his door disrupted him.

" Get in,"

The door swung open, the lady from earlier stepped in, a laptop with her.

" There's something you need to see Master,"

Raising a brow, Pedro looked at her.

" Show me,"

The lady nodded and brought the laptop closer to him, giving him a full visualized access to the screen. After a moment of scrolling and clicking on the laptop, an image of a young mesmerizing lady's picture displayed on the screen. Pedro felt a jolt of surge through his body, his eyes glinting with admiration.

" Cara Mia,"

He muttered, running his thumb on his lower lip.

" Who is that?"

Mrs Julia asked, her gaze on the picture. A small silent chipped in.

" My adopted daughter,"

He answered.
