Yuri
I like that kid; he reminds me of myself growing up, but he might just get himself killed if he is not careful. I like his spirit and confidence but this time I think he used it on the wrong person. Going up to my floor I can feel the heaviness in my heart, I don’t have kids but if I have them; I picture my son to be exactly like that kid. When I get to Karan’s floor his men are standing alert and have guns pointed at me the moment the elevator opened.
I just looked at them and they lower their guns when they see it’s me. I walk to his door and knock. One of his men opens then steps aside for me to walk in. “Yuri, you are here, good. Come, let’s have a drink so that you can tell me what the hell I just walked into in this city of yours.” Damn Italians and their timing. I do not know what is going on and that is only going to piss this man off. I hate looking stupid and that is exactly how I will look in this boy
AntonioComing out of the cold room with my suit drenched in blood, it’s a good thing that it’s black, I can’t imagine how it would look like it was another color. I am so frustrated, the guys we got and have tortured are not giving me anything I can use to find these guys. Souls meet me at the door as I come out. “Yuri called and we have another guy. The last one.” He tells me. “Good, bring him in,” I say and he turns to leave but stops then looks at me.“What is it?” He swallows. “Yuri?” he questions. “He can wait, I have things too, and I will call him when I am done,” I tell him then go back to the cold room. The stench of blood is thick in here and for the first time, I am not bothered. The chunks of flesh I cut off from the man I was torturing still decorated the floor, while the guys are taking out the rest of him. I am worried that each time I do this, I lose a part o
YuriAfter talking to the kid, I stood there looking at Misha who was now busy eating some of my French fries that came with the food I ordered. I want to believe the kid, but I have worked with Misha for years and this doesn’t seem like something he would do. He is the loyal type, and this is not his style. “Misha, let’s go, we are meeting the kid at the warehouse.” I watch as his expression changes when I mention the kid but quickly masks that and nods.“Does he have something regarding our current problem?” he asked getting up. “That’s just it, I want to make sure he gets something, we can’t afford to fuck up when Karan is here.” He nods then takes his jacket; I really hope the kid is wrong about this. We leave Lux and Misha drives us to the warehouse. I haven’t been here in a while; we get out and meet the kid at the door. He looks like he was coming to me.“I thought I
YuriWhile we were still talking more of the guys came back with a badly beaten Misha and they pushed him to me. He stumbled and fell on his knees right in front of me. I clap my hands together looking at him with a smirk on my face. “Well, brother, I think we need to talk.” He shivers but says nothing. “Misha, brother, don’t you want to talk to me?” I am more than pissed and trying very hard to keep my cool.“There is no point in talking, I know what is in store for me, so, get it over and done with.” He is right, we both know what is in store for him but before that, I need to know what the hell is going on, why did he betray me? “I need to know why Misha.” He shakes his head; Misha is as stubborn as the next member of the brotherhood. We don’t just talk; we would rather die than talk and torture doesn’t do much to motive us to open our mouths.“I get it, bring him with us
KaranI sat in my penthouse sipping on my scotch thinking about what Yuri said, if the Italians are coming for me then that means they have an ace up their sleeve and they are sure they can take me down. but what do they have? “Boss.” My number two stands next to me waiting for me to give him the go ahead to say something and I hope it’s worth it hearing. I gesture with my hand for him to talk. “We found Misha’s daughter, she was held at the Bologna in one of the houses there and was guarded by members of Cosa Nostra.”This is good Bologna is a good place for them to hide the girl, it’s a busy city but crime is not at the level of the Mafia, petty crimes are the most popular there like pickpocketing and break-ins. We would have never even looked there but what the Mafia did not bet on is that I am not normal, and neither are the things I do or my way of thinking. They want to bring the brotherhood to their knee
YuriI haven’t slept since this whole Misha and the Italian thing; I have been trying to figure out what they might have on us and most importantly why Misha didn’t tell me about his daughter. I thought he and I were close but after finding this out; I am not sure anymore. He kept his daughter from me and to me, which means he didn’t trust me at all. I was about to sleep when Karan sent word to meet downtown where Misha is being held.He said his daughter is on the way from the airport; I left Lux with all my security detail, I can’t afford to be vulnerable now when the Nigerians have confirmed that we are targets. The streets are quiet, too quiet for my liking, it's like J City citizens know that something is about to go down and are keeping themselves safe. When I get to the warehouse, I find it looking abandoned and there is this feeling in the pit of my stomach that tells me something is wrong.I take my phone out and
AntonioToday I almost died and Leta got shot. That made me realize that this place is the survival of the fittest, a dog-eat-dog kind of place and that if I am not careful, I will be next. Lucky for us Leta was only shot in the shoulder but some of our guys were not as lucky, they lost their lives and now we must deal with that. I watch as Karan kicks Santo's dead body with a stony expression. “Cut him into pieces and send them to each of the places the Italians are at. I want them to know that we are in the game and if one of them reaches Nathaniel even better. I want that son of bitch to know who he's messing with.” He says then looks between the two dead bodies.“Send Misha to the morgue, his daughter would like to bury him and that is doing a lot for the dog that got me into this.” He sneers then leaves the room, I look at the two men and think about how much I have changed over the past months. Now I am one of them and I m
AntonioWhen we land in Moscow the air around us changes, one can tell that something is going on even without knowing what. Karan’s men were already at the airport when we arrived, I could tell he didn’t bring his best men to J City because these men mean business, they are all dressed in expensive suits with tattoos peaking on their necks and wrists. There was not much talking when we got there, it was just Karan giving orders and we were on the road again.I have no signal on my phone and that needs to be sorted soon. I need to contact my people and Karan with no issues. “I am going to need a phone,” I tell him as I sip on the scotch that was in the limo. “That is already being taken care of.” I nod and keep quiet. The feeling at the pit of my stomach like something bad is about to happen, worsens as we drive further. “What is this place?” I ask trying not to think about this feeling.“This is Garage Valle
AntonioIf I thought getting out this tunnel was going to be easy, then I was mistaken, the tunnel led us to a sewage pipe we must pass through to get to the other side, and I don’t want to mention how we smell right now. This entire experience has taken me back to the time when I was on the streets living like a rat and smelling like one. But even then, I did not smell this way; I am at my worst right now. When we get out on the other side there is a gun pointing a gun at us.“Put the goddamn gun down Ezio.” The guy’s eyes widen before he stiffens a laugh. “Boss, I didn’t know that was you. Riaan and his men just left. They were looking for you and even put a price on your head.” He tells us but that not my concern now, I need to get out of this sewage pipe. “Can you move aside so we can get out of here?” I ask him but he shakes his head. “I can’t, everyone here is looking for
Tony stayed in the hospital for two weeks before he was ready to travel. Letta was just happy they were taking him home. She was homesick and could see that Tony did not like being there either. Who would? Definitely not a person that almost died there. Even Karan whom they came to rescue here did not come after that day and Letta resented him more.Tony almost died here, and he was here to save him. Yet, when everything was all right with him, he left and did not even check to see if he lived or died. Letta swore that she would kill him if she ever got a chance to. But Tony was only angry that Krystal did not come to see him the whole time he was in the hospital.He knows what he said to her, but he still thought that she cared and that she would come and visit him. But when she did not, he concluded that she wanted nothing to do with him. He never told anyone this and no one told him that Krystal did indeed, come to the hospital. What good would it have done had they told him? She w
“You should have let me kill her!” said Karan angrily as they walked towards the elevator. He could see how hurt Krystal was by what Letta said, and he did not like that one bit. “What good would that have done? She was telling the truth back there. I chose you and I have no right to interfere in Tony’s life.” She said getting angry herself. She did not know if she was angry at Letta for calling her out or that she did not get to hear how Tony is doing.“You were not interfering you just wanted to know how he is doing; he is your friend after all.” Krystal chuckled. She knew that she was nothing to Tony, after their talk the other day, she knew she was not in a position to even call him a friend. She had no place in his life. “Let it be, can we please go home? I have had enough of this country.” Karan could understand how she was feeling.This was supposed to be some vacation for her, a time for her to unwind before the baby arrives. But it turned out to be something completely differ
The one who went to ask for the room number ended up opening the door, the room was quiet, and Karan was sleeping on the bed with Krystal in his arms. The men smirked; this was good, exceptionally good. Karan was a light sleeper, and he was awake the moment they opened the door. He knew Lyle would never come into the room, he would stand outside and knock. He slowly reached for his gun under the pillow.Once he got hold of it, he was fast in acting; he woke up and fired at the men. He got one right between his eyes, the other on the heart, and the other in the middle of the chest. Krystal woke up with a scream frightened by the gunshots. Karan went to check on the men finishing them off as he did so making sure they were dead before rushing to Krystal.He took her to the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub. “Sweetheart, I need you to be quiet now and I will be right back.” Krystal nodded while tears flowed down her cheeks. She was scared, waking up to gunshots inside her room, dead
Tony went up to the room with the girl, he wanted to get wasted and have a good time tonight. He felt it was time to forget about Krystal and start living his life. This girl was going to be the start of him moving forward and living life for him and no one else. Since he got that bag of money over a year ago. It has been one challenge after another, and he was tired and needed time to breathe.When they got to the room Tony went to the mini fridge and took out all the alcohol inside then started drinking. “Don’t drink too much baby, we still have to play.” She said seductively but Tony paid her no mind and continued to down one drink after another. “How about you go and shower while I order room service. The night is still young, and you do not want to get waisted too quickly.” Tony still said nothing but did as she suggested.As soon as he disappeared into the bathroom, the young woman waited until she heard the water running. She rushed to her purse and fished out her phone. She se
Karan took a step forward trying to follow them, but Lyle stopped him. Karan glared at him. ‘How dare he stop him, maybe he had a death wish?’ Lyle could see how unhappy his boss was and cleared his throat. “Boss, let them talk, they have not seen each other since… you know what happened. They need to close that chapter of their lives and move on.” What Lyle said made sense, but Karan was not sure what was going to happen between Krystal and Tony once they talk.He took her from him, and it was not her choice to stay with him in the beginning, but he thought she had grown to love him over the past months. Could he have misread her? He wondered. He loved Krystal, and he did not know what he would do if he lost her. He was already picturing them together with their baby and he could not lose that. But was he going to force her to stay with him like he did before?That was the question in his mind, he was happy when she chose to stay with him willingly the last time and now; he was not s
Alessandro was not moving anymore, and Karan got off him. He then took the gun and shot him three times. “He is dead, you can stop already.” Said Tony blowing cigarette smoke out of his mouth and nose. “I want to make sure.” Karan said. Tony shook his head then threw the cigarette he was smoking away and walked towards the chopper.“Why are you leaving me behind?” asked Karan as he limped following Tony. “I couldn’t keep watching you shooting the man like a coward.” Karan paused and looked at Tony’s retreating back. this kid was disrespectful, but he came through for him today. So, he will let this go but he should be careful not to overdo his arrogance.It might get him killed just like Alessandro. Tony got comfortable on the chopper and watched as Karan struggled to get in. when Karan looked his way Tony looked away as if he was not watching him. Karan clicked his tongue in anger. “One of these days I will put a bullet between your eyes.” Tony chuckled.“I did my part boss and now a
“Give me your phone, I want Lyle to get Krystal out and take her to safety.” Karan said to Antonio, Tony took out his phone and handed it to him. “You don’t have to come with us, we can take care of this.” He tried to persuade him, but Karan would hear none of it. he made the call to Lyle then hopped onto the helicopter and they flew out.He saw the two tanks destroying things and looked at Tony. “Are those ours?” tony smirked “No, it’s theirs we raided their weapons shed and got these.” Answered Tony with a smirk, Karan chuckled. He liked this kid, but he was disrespectful. “They are ours anyway since they did not pay for them. now let us go rain hell upon them” they flew downtown and when they got there, they could see Brandon and their guys were under heavy attack.When Brandon saw the helicopters hovering over them, he felt his energy leaving him, they were already outnumbered and outgunned. He said a little prayer feeling like his time to leave this world has come but just as he
Boom! A loud sound was heard, and the house shook. Karan stood from his chair to go and investigate but before he could go far another sound was heard and the house shook even more making him hold on to the chair to balance himself. He looked over at Krystal and found her sound asleep. His phone rang and he answered. “Boss, they are bombing your house, please tell me you are safe.” That was Lyle.He was watching the situation via the satellite, and he could see everything going on in the city. “We are safe for now.” Answered Karan looking at Krystal, he regretted giving her the sedative now. Getting how out will be a mission. “Boss, move to the panic room, at least even if the house falls you will be safe in the panic room.” Lyle suggested worried about his boss.Karan cut the call and picked up a sleeping Krystal and maneuverer through the falling debris going to the panic room. The whole front and side of the house was damaged. He hurried to the panic room and opened it. He placed K
Karan could not leave the city the way he came and what bothered him the most was his precious Krystal and the child in her belly. He did not mind going through the tunnels as he grew up in the tunnel of Russia anyway, but Krystal was not used to that. Now he who vowed to protect her was the one who was going to ask her to do something like this.That thought alone made him swear to kill each member of the mafia. While he was thinking of how to tell Krystal the news, a call came through. He did not know the number, but answered anyway. “Yes?” the other party did not speak immediately, and that made Karan sit straight on his chair.“The boss asked me to tell you to find a place to hide. We will be there in the next couple of hours.” The latter finally spoke. Karan did not know who the person was so, he asked. “Who are you?” the latter chuckled a bit. “My boss is Antonio, see you soon big boss, be safe.” Said the latter and cut the call. Karan knew that if Antonio was coming, it was not
