014: Paying Him A Visit II

Matthew's POV

"We both know killing me won't be beneficial to either of us. My people are aware that I've come here. If I'm not to return, be certain that there will be consequences."

"You're brave to make threats even in your condition, brat!" Logan cursed before gesturing for his security team to lower their guns. He knew better than I that he wouldn't make it out unscathed if he harmed me. "So what are you here for? Make it snappy."

"I'm sure you're already aware of the reasons for my visit. But if you're really daft, then allow me to refresh your memory. Your son is walking again, you've broken the terms of our agreement, and I'm sure you're prepared for what will come next." I said with a tone that perfectly mirrored the rage I was feeling at that moment. I didn't care whether or not his men were still around. He had broken a promise he made to my father, and I needed a good explanation to not immediately kill his son for that betrayal.

"You think I can control a grown man?" Logan growled, his voice low and menacing. "Alex knows the truth now, and if you think he's not prepared for you, then you better think again.."

I felt a surge of fury so intense I could barely control myself. This man was definitely brave, he had clearly forgotten that I was the one who was the leader of a cartel. Perhaps it was because he was surrounded by men with guns, maybe that was why he had forgotten that he owed me and my father his life for what he had done. Crippling Alexander had been mercy, none of them deserved to be alive for what they had done. And Alexander being crippled was supposed to be punishment for their crimes. But now they had become greedy, and won't even take punishment for their crimes.

"You're pretty bold to act like none of this is your business. Maybe I should remind you that you owe everything you are to my father who you put in prison." I shot back, the reminder clearly angering Logan who shot up to his feet, a defiant glare clear on his face.

"You're the bold person here, Mathew. I've been your father's pet for far too long. And if you think I'm going to keep it at, then just know you're wasting your time!"

A wicked smile spread across my face at the sound of his words. I could spend all day arguing with him, but that was not what I had come here for. I personally didn't want to go after my cousin's life, that deal had been the one my father made. However, I was here with another deal, one that would reduce the potential bloodshed.

"I'm not here to argue with you, uncle. I've simply come to offer you a new deal. You'll transfer half of everything you owe to me, and in return I won't go after Alex's life."

Logan paused for a moment, my offer had clearly caught his attention. He reasoned it for a moment, and after two minutes he presented me with an answer.

"Go and burn in hell with your offer."

I recoiled in shock, clearly stunned that he had chosen his money over his son's life. I had always known that Logan Forger was a greedy bastard, and only cared about money. But this had been surprising even for me.

Without wasting a second, I turned to Viktor and gestured for him to lead the way out of this place. Logan had made his choice, and he had made it very obvious that he didn't care about his life or that of his son. I felt bad for Alexander, if he had been here to see how much he was worth to his father, I was certain he would have killed the man on the spot.

"What's the next move, boss?" Viktor inquired as we headed out of the house. He was heated and his bloodlust was oozing everywhere.

"Isn't it obvious already? We take everything he owns and burn it to the ground, starting from his son." I replied as I opened the car door and settled at the backseat. Logan Forger was a different kind of person, and never in my life would I have expected him to choose his wealth over his son. If he had just agreed to my deal, we would have been done with this feud by now. But that bastard would rather make life difficult for me than care for his safety and that of his son. He had clearly underestimated me, and I was going to teach him the consequences of doing so.

"First we'll have to find Alexander. I need Intel on what he's been up to." I said to Viktor who immediately nodded to my request. With one hand on the wheel, he picked up his phone and immediately began to make the necessary calls.

I remained in the backseat, equally picking up my phone to make a very important phone call. I was certain that it wouldn't be long until Alexander was back in the spotlight. Now that his legs were healed, it wouldn't take long for all the modeling agencies to start falling over themselves in pursuit of him. It was only a matter of time before the entire town was talking about him again.

I was simply making preparations for that day when he would return to the spotlight. Girls would definitely be all over him, and while Alexander had been known to be a notorious playboy, there was one that he had loved dearly. Cynthia Hedge. I recalled vibrantly that Alexander had been obsessed with her back in the days. He had even attempted to kill himself when she left. If I could get Cynthia on my side, I was certain that killing Alexander was halfway done.

"Hello Mathew, what is it this time?" Cynthia's soothing voice spilled from the speaker of my phone. My face lit up the moment I heard her voice, but this was not the time to get overly excited. We had things to do, and it was necessary that we began immediately.

"Meet me at my place, we have important matters to discuss.”
