ALEXANDER'S POV.
"What should I do to him, boss?"I smirk at the helpless guy in the video call. He's so young and penniless, just like his father. I doubt he's going to make a difference in his life any year from now. He'll end up ageing and wasting his life.I turn to the old man beside me, tied to a chair looking helplessjust like his son in the video call. "It's regrettable. Your son has to pay for your sins.The pleasure it gives me to know I have so much power on other people, is unexplainable.He struggles on his chair, humming and trying to speak. "Mmm mmm." He shakes his head, continuously."So tell me, what should I do with him.""Mmm mmm." He shakes his head 'no'."I'm sorry, I can't hear you." He puts in more effort to speak through his sealed lips. "Pardon." I bring my ear close to his lips. I smirk, not understanding what's he's saying. I move away from his face and stare at him as he struggles. His vulnerability make me let out a short laugh."There." I point at the laptop. " That's your son." I run man fingers at the back of the wooden chair he is tied to. I squat, gazing at the man who owes me Five hundred thousand dollars. "You caused this to yourself. A full grown man like you in dept and unable to pay." I stable my legs. "Tell me, what did you use the money for? You should have found comfort in your little word, but you stupidly wanted to have a taste of rich life when you know aren't cable of affording it." I eye his weak body. "Just see what it cost you." I look at his son. "I believe a bad debt should never be forgiven. it's a debt for a reason, so therefore, should be paid for. Either the hard way or the easy way." I stand to my feet. "You gave me no choice." I say as I walk to stand behind the laptop. I look down at it as I use my index finger to trace the edges of the monitor. "We had an agreement." I look up at him. "Remember our deal?" His eyes widen and he struggles even more. I take that as an indication that he remembers clearly.I walk back to stand behind him so I can now face the laptop and talk to Seth. "Seth.""Yes, boss.""A life for a debt. You know what to do.""As you say.""Mmm mmm."I walk to the laptop and shut it then walk out of the room without saying a word to the old man who's now in tears.That is done by the way. For now, at least. I'll be back to torment his life and kill everyone dear to him, until I'm satisfied. Until I feel his debt has been paid for.Even in his next life, he wouldn't dare to borrow from a mafia. From me, infact.I can't be played. I meant business and I don't joke with it.I walk down the stairs in a straight blank face. "Seth should meet me in my office." I tell one of the men as I walk pass him."Uhm, boss." He calls in a questioning tone.I don't turn but keep working. "Any issue?"I hear his heels hit the tiled floor as he walks quickly behind me. "Miss Jenna is around." He says, fear evident in his tone.I stop on my heels and turn abruptly to look at him."Why did you let her in during work hours?" The frustration and anger in my voice is enough to send him to hell."She insisted, boss. I'm sorry that I couldn't stop her."I raise a brow at him. "You couldn't stop her." I repeat his words in an unbelievable tone, raising one of my brows in the process. "Beautiful." Is all I say before walking away.He should start reciting his last prayers beacause I'll ensure to give him a beautiful death.I walk straight to my room, knowing Jenna will be nowhere but there. I twitch my lips as I eye Jenna on my bed, lying on her stomach with her legs wiggling in the air. I jam the door closed, making her now aware of my presence."I waited too long." She turns just her head to look at me with a smile."Why are you here?""Why am I here?" She keeps her smile on as she questioned, at the same time, potraying a 'you know why I'm here' look. She steps down from the bed and walk towards me with slow sexy movements. Unfortunately for her, they don't turn me on, unlike before.I say nothing to her and move one of my legs before me as I shove my hands into my pockets, giving her enough body language to show that she no longer affect me. Well, she never did to begin with. She was just there. She has always been nothing more than that to me. A sex machine."You've been ignoring my calls." She says without looking at my face as she draws small circles on my chest."I've been busy. I've got no time for non-business oriented calls." I walk away from her to the window and stare outside at the tall buildings which overshadow mine. "I believe I owe you no explanation." I take off my sirt."You don't babe." She walks to me again. This time, hugging me from behind.I roll my eyes and groan. She knows how much her clinginess disgust me. Not that she's anything close to special in my life.She's the first girl I've actually kept for more than a week. Sex with her was great at first until she started clamoring for more. Not that I have a problem with her being sexually active, but it's like she's using it as her way to get more than just sex from me, and I'm not ready to give her those things. Not to her; not to anyone.I don't have it in me. I can't give what I don't have. Care, affection, attention and worst of all, love.All I have to give is my money and my bed.This will be the last, after now. I'll ditch her and get a new girl. With Jenna, it's no fun anymore. It's getting old and boring.It's just sex, right. "Let's get this done with." I turn to face her. Without wasting much time, I connect our lips and kiss her roughly.Gentleness has never been my thing.~I get dressed after Jenna leaves angrily. I did what needed to be done. Now back to business.I call Seth, knowing he's back and tell him to come to my room.Just as I put on my wrist watch, there is a knock on the door. "Come in." I say, knowing who it is.I turn to face the door with my hands now in my pockets, as he walks in."Boss." He slightly bows."What's the update?""Collins Fisher. He's ready to make the deal."I nod. "He's fast. I like that.""He is and fully prepared to do so today. He's just waiting for a call.""Good. Give him a call. We should meet at my office.""Yes, boss." He turns to walk away but I stop him."Handle Jenna with a sum of money. I don't want to see her again. Make it known to the guards. I'm done with her. I won't be accepting excuses.""I'll do that.""What did you do with his body?" I ask before he attempts to walk away again."We buried him somewhere he can never be found. Don't worry boss, things are under control."I'm not worried. Anyway, he's Seth. He's good."Good." I nod and dismiss him.He walks away, while I stand there staring at the spot Seth was standing before.I'm done with that old man's son. I've gotten rid of Jenna. Next up, a client whom I think has something valuable to give me.Collins Fisher.The knock on my door makes me drop my phone and roll my chair forward. "Come in." Seth walks in and bows as usual. "Boss, Collins Fisher is here.""Let him in." I instruct. He walks away and shut the door. Soon, he's back into the office with Collins behind him. "Sit." I say sternly.I could tell he was afraid but he was making little effort to hide it and control himself. He sits opposite me as ordered. I study him as he looks at Seth then checks out my office before landing his eyes on me. "You want us to lend you a huge sum of money." I state, not question, but irregardless, he nods.Before today, Seth told me about another client who wants to borrow money from us just like that old man. I couldn't attend the meeting then because I had something more important to do. More like an issue to handle. Now seeing him, I'm interested. Who knows, he might end up in hell just like that old man. Time will tell."I'm sure you've read the contract and agree to the terms and conditions.""Ye
JANE'S POV. I currently look like a mess. My baggy red eyes, bad breath, dried skin and dirty body. It's going to two days since Collins locked me in this room. I've been on the floor, hugging my knees, crying nonstop. I couldn't sleep last night. How could I when I don't know what Collins motive is? God knows what he is up to. He has never been this way, right? or I was just the one who failed to see this side of him. How disgusting of him to propose a date to me, while he was cheating behind my back. Now, he keeps me locked in this room, leaving me clueless about his intentions. My biggest fear now, is the monster I saw him turn into just yesterday and my gut feeling might be right that I'm not safe at all here. I shouldn't wait to experience it before I believe it. I should start thinking of how to escape from here and Collins. Clara. She's the only one who can help me now. She has always helped me in difficult situations, so she won't stop now. At least, not on such occasion.
"Jane." Clara shakes me. "Jane." I slowly open my eyes to see that the car has stopped. I sit up and look outside the car to see a tall glass building, which is nothing like Clara's house. "Where are we?" I ask in a tired tone."At an hotel. I thought, that if you stay at my house, Collins will find you easily. So, here we are."I nod and follow behind her, out of the car into the hotel, after paying the driver. We check in and go straight to our rooms. "You should shower first."I nod and do as told, clueless on what to wear after my shower.I put on the hotel robe after my shower and walk out."Here. I packed some clothes." I smile lightly at her and take the shirt and shorts from her hand. "Thanks.""Do you want to talk about it?"She asks calmly but I don't reply her and keep dressing. I hear her sigh before walking past me into the bathroom. Exhausted and tired, I climp onto the bed to continue my sleep. I don't fail to shed few tears before forcing myself to sleep.~"Jane
ALEXANDER'S POV. I walk to and fro behind my office chair. My face, calm but my eyes were enough to shoot you dead. The continuous prick of the edges of the razor I've been fiddling with my finger, doesn't seem to affect me. I swallow hardly. My evident adam apple moving up and down. It's the second time in two weeks, I'm realizing that I'm working with people who aren't as smart as I expected them to be. But their foolishness is their business. It shouldn't be rubbed off on my work or anything concerning me. I'm not nice or kind enough to tolerate such. It has never been a trait of mine.I look down at the Collins bastard who kneeled before me. The bastard I had thought wouldn't end up like that old man. The bastard I had thought is worth my time. The bastard that had risen my thought on getting something special. The price. The worth. I wanted nothing but to make the mysterious lady my possession, after the day of my meeting with this bastard. I was meant to have her since last
JANE'S POVI walk out of the bathroom to see Clara on the bed, operating her phone while she waits for me to finish up so we can eat.It's been a week now, if not over a week since the horrible event with Collins happened. Staying in the hotel has been quite comfortable, well, to me but not for Clara. She barely leaves the hotel because she understands I need someone to be with. She even took a leave from work and I really hope she doesn't face problems with her work because of me. My work on the other hand, I don't know.I quickly get dressed and grab the food tray from the trolley. I walk to sit opposite Clara on the bed and place the tray between us."What are you doing?" I ask, seeing that she's still very much engrossed in whatever she's doing with her phone."Oh, I'm searching for a good movie to download. Unfortunately staying here, doing nothing but occupying myself with movies, I feel I've watched all the good thriller movies and series Netflix has to offer." "Well I could h
I sit at the bar, not ready to mingle with the crowd, yet. The music is so loud and doesn't give room for me to think of my sad life. Maybe the club is actually a good start, after all. Clara on the other hand, left me few minutes ago to meet a friend she recognized and hasn't been back to her loner friend since them. So, yeah I'm sitting alone. Currently finishing my third shot of liquor, I turn to the bartender. "Another please." I point into the cup. He gives me a weird look before turning me around round of the liquor. I look away from him only for my eyes to come in contact with a strange guy sitting at the other side of the bar. I furrow my brows and look away as a guy and his drunk girl walk to stand before him to get a drink. I could no longer see him. I stare at the funny dance steps of drunkards and sober people in the dance floor as I take from my liquor.Unconsciously, my eyes move to the strange man again. The guy and girl were no longer there, so I could see him now.
The dj keeps the vibe on in the room with his beats and good music pulsating through the speakers. I keep dancing with Clara, throwing one or two jokes her way due to my already drunken state. Sophie had came to dance with us then left and now she's back again. She briefly complains about George's annoying friends making Clara secretly blush and I can't help but wonder if Sophie also knows about Clara's feelings for George. She has to know, right?Girls notice the little things and like pairing their brothers with their friends atimes. Just like Clara can do the same for her little brother.I, on the other hand, can't relate. I do have a brother, but a step brother and I've never been that close to him because he attended a boarden school. And now, I still can't be close to him cause I'm far away from my family with an identity of my own, due to certain reasons. The thought of my family after a long time, suddenly make my heart ache. I don't like thinking of it. I don't like thinki
ALEXANDER'S POVI put on a stern look as I walk into 'Hell'. My favourite room in my mansion. It's a place where I make people regret their actions and give them enough pain that they wish to be dead. It's my favourite place because here, people who mess with me realize what it actually is to be helpless. They realize what it means to be at my mercy. They realize the importance of so much power.It smells of dried blood from the injuries and killings of different people who decided to test what it's actually like to mess with me. Atimes it smells of sweat and now it smells of an unclean old man. He's my current prey and I have this cute feeling that Collins Fisher will be next. "I would be sad to know you didn't miss me." I tell the old man and nod at Simon to untie the cloth from his mouth. He bends his head and breath through his mouth in relief. He snaps his head up to me with wide eyes. "My son. You killed my son." "I did and you are going to do nothing about it." "What do y
