The real game begins

AVERY’s POV

“No way! You are not a normal human being! How can you do that to these poor ladies just because they need to make ends meet?”

“You know what the sweetest part is? Some of them came to me themselves. Some said they needed me to increase their salaries, some beg for days off, and recently some said they need to be in the CEO’s good books, so I need to help them, and we help each other”

I could not believe my ears and I felt so irritated by the sight of him. 

I turned around to leave, but I could still feel his lustful eyes all over my body. 

“Just keep it in mind that wherever you go to work if the person in charge is a man then he would need of that ass you got back there. I mean who wouldn't, right? Stop being a child”

I slightly turned my head around and then I ran out of his office. I bumped hard into someone on my way out, and the person’s phone fell off his hand. I quickly picked it up and gave it to him.

“I am.. I am sorry”

It was a man I bumped into, he had the best facial structure I have ever seen, and his eyes were so attractive.

For a moment I forgot about my worries and I was lost in his eyes. He wasn't looking at me; he was more concerned about checking if his phone was in good shape, which made it even sexier.

“I am very sorry I bumped into you. Please”

“I am equally sorry, I should have looked properly”

I smiled when he apologized and I bit my lower lip.

“Bryson, I have been calling..”

A voice came from behind me, it was the CEO! He came out from his office and saw me shaking that man. It felt so awkward that I quickly released his hands.

“Hey, Axell. How are you doing?”

They both hugged, and I noticed he also had some injuries just like Axell. I wonder where they both got the bruises from. Maybe an accident.

“I will take my leave now, Excuse me”

I quickly said and walked away as fast as I could.

AXELL’s POV

Bryson and I watched as Avery walked as fast as light away from us. Bryson walked into my office, but I still stared at that lady, there was just something about her.

I smiled and shut the door behind me.

“Wow, ‘CEO AXELL LEONADO’ this name suits you well, my brother. I am glad”

Bryson carried the wooden name tag from my desk and stared at it like he could not believe it.

“Trust me, man. It is harder than I thought it would be. I thought owning a school would be fun, but there are so many things I still need to do. Look at all those files”

I pointed at the files the assistant principal brought to my desk this morning, and I had not gone through them yet.

“Remember what you said before we came down to Las Vegas, right? You said your parents dying wish was that you claim this school and leave your old life behind, and you promised to do it, so do not complain”

“You know you don't need to remind me about that, right? I know it well! But it isn't easy, especially with what happened recently with Paolo”

“Come on, Axell. You need to let that go, and you already promised me you would not take revenge or anything of that sort. We will get Paolo, but legally, nothing illegal again! I am tired of all these killings. Look at what happened to your poor parents”

When he said that I walked over and sat on my chair and reminisced on the past. I remembered watching on the phone how Paolo killed my parents and also how he killed my men. I still blame myself to this day, for my parents' death, and for what happened to them because they didn't deserve to die like that. 

“Hey, Axell, the lady earlier was the one from that other night, right? Tell me I am right”

“Yes, she is”

“She works here or what?”

“She does. I was shocked when I saw her too”

Bryson looked at my eyes while holding his laugh. I knew I could not lie to him no matter how hard I tried.

“I know you, and You know that I know you, I know you a bit too much I find it unhealthy. You knew that lady already even before the party, am I right?”

I sighed and shook my head aggressively.

“How would I? Of course, I do not”

“What else do I not know, Axell? Did you plan a trap for that lady? Don't tell me you planned everything from the beginning, did you?”

“Planned what? Come on, Bryson, I only came here to Las Vegas with only one motive in mind which is to start a new and clean chapter in my life. A new life free from crimes, guns, drugs, and whatever, and especially WOMEN!!!”

I have suffered enough in the hands of women and it was enough. All I want to do with women now is to have fun and toss them away, never letting another woman into my life or heart. A woman destroyed my life thereby forcing me to be on the run like a cat, so never again. 

“I know you still have other things up in your sleeves, Axell, and I won't rest until I find them out”

“The only thing up my sleeves are those damn bandages, and it hurts so much! Hurts like crazy!”

“Axell, all the men who lost their lives we need revenge for them at least. I know I made you promise me that you won't fight back, but this has gotten out of hand. Paolo and Lucrecia have been having fun playing with our heads. But not anymore! If not for anything then for your dead parents!”
