Antonio
I woke up after a few hours and found Karan reading a newspaper. He must think that the brotherhood publishes their news on paper. “You are awake, well, let’s get ready we are getting off in the next station.” I look at the map and see that the next station is Estonia. “Why would we get off in Estonia?” he lifts his head to look at me. “Because they won’t expect me to get off there, they expect me to run to my contacts in St Petersburg.” I get that but what are we going to do here?
But I keep my concerns to myself. “I need a phone as soon as we get there, I need to contact my people.” I wonder what people he is talking about because the last time I checked he didn’t have people anymore. “You mean the ones under Riaan now?” I ask with my eyebrow raised. “I still have a few I can trust, I may not know who is in Riaan’s payroll, but I know these peop
LETAAfter the phone call with the boss I went straight to the warehouse like Yuri ordered us to, he lost a lot of his men in this ambush and now he is making us hide like rats. Yes, most of our men are injured, but that does not mean we cannot fight. Hell, I am injured myself but I can still pull out my gun and shoot but no; he wants us to regroup and come up with a plan to counter attach, yet, the best plan is to attach now when they least expect it.They expect us to lick our wounds and attack later but if we take them by surprise and attack now, we will get them, and we might even win this war. We know where they are, and they are not bothering to hide because they think they have us where they want us and they do if we wait and not act now. Getting to the warehouse I find all the guys there those with minor injuries tending to each other as the doctor was busy with the severely injured.Souls sees me come in and I gesture with my h
Antonio Thick black smoke filled the air, firefighters and police sped through the streets of Moscow. It was a beautiful chaos, and it was done so that we can get a chance to kill Riaan then Karan can take back the driver’s seat as the head of the brotherhood. we stood silently in the bushes on the side of the house watching as Riaan’s men left the house am sure rushing to the scenes. More and more men left the compound, and I am surprised that he is playing into Karan’s plan.“It’s time.” Karan says and the short guy grins like a fool. He is too short to be this excited about battle but maybe I am underestimating him because of his height and the fact that I have not seen him fight. Either way, now it the time to settle this so I can go home. We leave our hiding spot and get into the gate. The little man is quick to take out the three guys at the gate and I am not ashamed to admit I was wrong about him.
Antonio When I landed in J City, it was like I landed in a war zone. The city is in chaos, with thick smoke in the air, burning buildings, and burning cars on the roads. The airport is quiet, and that is unusual for this city. Tourist loves this city because of its tourist attraction sites and thus making it busy all year round and finding the airport this quiet is the first sign that something is wrong.There are law enforcement officers everywhere on the road and firefighters. When Karan said he will let me go I did not believe it until this morning when he took me to the airport and even landed me his private jet. Now that I am home, I feel like it’s been years since I left, and a lot has changed. Leta picked me up from the airport with Souls and Fingers. My people seemed to have missed me as much as I did them.“How are things at Lux?” I ask worried about the people I left behind, am sure DJ is worried sick about
Antonio When we got to his penthouse, he pours us a drink and hands me mine. “it’s a good thing you are here, I want you to check on things and make sure these rats have left my city.” What will he be doing while I do that, is he not the head of this organization? “I can’t do that today, I am tired, Russia was no child’s play.” I tell him and he frowns. “We are at war kid, there is not time to rest.” He tells me and that just makes me angry.“You are the leader of this organisation, when we are at war you are supposed to be right there with your people, leading them. tell me Yuri, what have you done to ensue the safety of our people?” I ask him and his nostrils fled. “I have the military here patrolling the streets and the police force helping them.” he tells me anger visible in his words. “No, the military is only helping you, protecting you not our people. T
Antonio After the clean-up crew left, I also went to bed, I was tired and needed to rest before going out there and doing damage control. Russia took it’s tall on me, being on the run felling like every minute might be your last. I have never been in such a position before, even when I stole Yuri’s money, I knew he will kill me when he finds me I why I did not run, I just wanted to live like a normal person even if it was once before I died.Fortunately, he did not kill me, but he exposed me to an even more dangerous world than the one he has built here in J City, this city and how Yuri does things is nothing compared to what Russians can do. Maybe Yuri grew soft because J City people are not as stubborn as Russians, they are just normal people who want to live their lives in peace, and he took advantage of that and instilled fear in them to get them to do what he wants.I don’t know when I fell asleep, bu
My phone rings while I am still busy talking to the guys, I take it out and I see it’s Leta calling. “Yes?” still with a smile on my face after hearing a joke Souls made, “They are gone, he must have gotten here before I did, he took them Tony.” My smile turned into a frown then anger. I cut the call without saying anything to Leta then left the warehouse in a hurry, Yuri is looking for war now and war is what he is going to get.It's clear the war we just wont was not enough for him, when I got into the car, I asked my driver to step on it. he did not ask questions and did as told. When we got to Lux, I did not wait for the car to stop properly as I got out and headed to the elevator. The guys greeted but I had no time for greetings or small talk. I call the elevator then got in and punched my desired floor. For the first time I feel like this elevator is moving too slow.It arrived at Yuri’s floor and hurried out. When I got to his
Antonio Things have been going well since Yuri died, well, since I killed him. My brother and I have been getting close again and getting to know each other all over again. There was no resistance from the team when I took over, I guess everyone was tired of Yuri’s shit already. But Karan was not happy about what I did, not that he cared about Yuri being dead as he made it clear that he was useless anyway, but he did not like that I will have to stay in J City when he clearly told me he wanted me in Russia with him.He will have to suck it up though, but I have a feeling he is not going to let this go like that. Krystal I and have been getting closer since now I have more time to spend with her and DJ. The old man went to announce to his brother, father, and ex-wife that he is the one who bought the company, and he fired the lot of them. His father and brother were not happy about that but the one to take the medal is his ex-wife. The w
Antonio The way I rushed out of the restaurant was like I was being chased by a dog, with the note in my hand, the waiter that was serving us had to follow me to the car to get the payment for the food. After paying I asked my driver to step on it going back to Lux. I could see he had questions but did not have the courage to ask them and I was grateful for that because I am in no mood to answer questions in the state, I am in.When we got to Lux, I did not even wait for the car to stop properly before rushing inside with the note in my hand, I kept looking at it as if when DJ reads it, it will say something different from what that lady said, I don’t want to think about how scared she must be right now, God, I failed her again and if I get her back this time, she will not give me another chance because nothing will change with me, I will still be a criminal and she will always be in danger with me.Getting to my floor, I rush ou
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
