I remained hidden in the corner, patiently waiting for the intruder that was lurking around to approach my direction. The room was very dark and the reflection of the moon was the only source of light inside but my eyes had grown accustomed to darkness and they were clear as the day.
Just as predicted, I noticed a sneaky move towards my direction, I mentally calculated my moves and with a raise of my fist, I landed a heavy punch on his throat
" Argghhh," a loud groan escaped his mouth, making me maintain a satisfactory expression. I turned on the wall switch for a clear glimpse of who the person was.
The first thing that caught my attention was the green snake tattoo on his neck. " Wait, you are ..." I trailed off, trying to gather my thoughts together.
As soon as it dawned on me, I became very mad and furious because judging from the tattoo, the assassin was from the Vein clan and he is a smaller assassin. What exactly was their thought for sending a newbie to kill me?
I tried hard to connect the dots together but nothing was coming to my head. Turning towards my locker, I brought out a pistol and shot it towards the assassin who was already witting on the floor.
" Bloody motherfucker," I cursed as his blood splattered all over my face.
I moved closer to him to check whether he is dead but luckily for him, he is still alive. " You are a tough one right?" I said to him while deliberately pressing down on his wound. He began sweating and screaming in desperation.
After I tortured him till he was helpless and almost dead, I placed a call across to Joe who picked up after the first ring.
" Boss," he mumbled in a hoarse voice.
" Send three guards to my room and come along with them," I hung up immediately, not waiting to hear his response.
I sat back on my bed, glancing at the door at intervals in expectancy of the people I requested for. Some minutes later, I heard a series of footsteps approaching the door and I breathed a sigh of relief.
The three guards entered in a row and bowed their heads In Front of me, they all looked unfazed and unbothered by the almost lifeless body In Front of them.
" Clear that body up. He is still alive so lock him up in the confinement and call the doctor to attend to his wounds. We will need him later," I instructed and dispersed them, indicating to Joe to wait behind.
" Do you know who that is?" I asked after the guards had cleared the mess on the floor.
I turned my back at him, gazing down at the quiet street.
" No, I don't. But judging from the tattoo on his neck, he is from The Vein clan," he answered accordingly.
" You are correct," I took out the packet of cigar in my pocket and lit it up.
" But I think this is more of a threat than a message," Joe beat me to what I was just about to say and I unconsciously nodded in admittance to what he just said.
" We have never had a clash with them, I don't know why they decided to send an assassin to me and not even a trained one."
Joe remained silent, seeming to think about something.
" I think we should set up a meeting with them before we strike back," Joe suggested. I gave him an eyebrow raise but nevertheless accepted his suggestion.
" I really need to clear my head, get the car ready, I will be going to the Hot bar," I instructed before proceeding to take my shower in the bathroom. Hot bar is a popular stripper club for the rich group and that is exactly what I need to cool my head off right now.
The ride to the bar was very peaceful and quiet, we met very few cars on the road and that was understandable, given that it's almost midnight.
" You are welcome sir," the bartender greeted me as soon as he sighted. I am a regular here so I just whispered to him to bring my usual to my private room while I settled back to enjoy the show that was about to unfold.
I patiently waited for them to bring the shots that I ordered for and it didn't take long for them to arrive.
" I will be at the door side to attend to any of your needs sir," the bartender said with a bow and excused himself afterwards.
I rested my slim hand on the long couch while watching the performance in the showroom. After some minutes, some girls will leave and others will replace them.
I kept watching but nothing seemed to draw me in. Infact, their performance all bore me out and somehow added to the anger brewing in me.
Just as I was about to leave, another switch happened and the new girl somehow managed to make me pause.
I can't say what particularly dragged my attention towards her but she has a very white and milky skin with many goddess features. A stud was hooked to her belly button and her waist chain dangled in the direction of her soft movement.
I released a heavy breath and cursed silently at the effect she was having on me.
She turned her around professionally and my gaze lurked more on my face. I couldn't see or decipher the expression on her face but I know one thing for certain. ' I want to have her,'
" And I will have her," I declared, giving an answer to my thought.
Till another switch occurred, I was fully focused on her waist and movement, up to the point that I got a boner.
" Shit," I landed a heavy punch on the soft couch, I hurried out of the room to meet Joe outside. Standing firm and serious.
I didn't say anything to him rather I quickened my pace towards the changing room of the strippers. I was pacing back and forth, calmly waiting for her to emerge from the room and boom! Her graceful figure emerged.
I was jaw dropped when I saw how curvy and beautiful she was. She is simply an angel in human form.
" Excuse me," she voiced out, making me drown in the depth of her sweet voice. I gave her a questioning gaze and she gestured in response then I realized that I was obstructing the door.
I recovered my composure and ran my tongue over my lip evilly while I contemplated the next thing that was coming out of my mouth.
" How much for the night," I blurted out, making her eyes widen in shock.
" What?"

" What are you talking about?" She questioned with a glare.
I scoffed and moved closer to her, making myself clearer this time around, " you look fucking hot and I want to bury myself in you,"
The atmosphere became heavy as her face distorted in anger, " did I look like a slut to you?"
Her face and demeanor showed that she was trying to calm herself down but deep down, I think that she is just trying to play hard to get.
Wrapping my hand around her waist, I pulled her closer to myself only for her to do the least thing I expected from her.
" Who the hell do you think you are to touch me like that, you bloody pervert," she landed a slap on my face and pushed me away, she then proceeded to roll her eye.
" You slapped me?" I gritted my teeth together with green views visible on my forehead.
" So what? And I will still..." I didn't give her a chance to complete her statement before I grasp and strangled her tightly on the neck. Her face turned red and she began to cough violently.
" How dare you mess with me?" I growled at her, making her flinch slightly.
" You are just a fucking bitch," her lashes flutter as she tried to release herself from my tight hold.
" Let ... let me go," she managed to mutter but I wasn't having it. Just as she was about to choke to death, Joe came to me and whispered something to my ear.
" I have reached out to the Viper's clan this morning and I just got their response that we must be there in the next one hour so we have to hurry to start preparing," he whispered, making me leave the fearful girl in my hand. I gave her a list threatening gaze and stormed out of the bar
" Let's go," I said to the driver as soon as I entered the vehicle. Joe sat beside me, sparing me glances at intervals. I can tell that he wanted to say something to me but he doesn't know how to go about it.
The anger inside me was still brewing and I was panting out loud to calm myself.
" Merda!" I couldn't hold myself back any longer, I cursed in Italian and landed a punch on the car door. The impact of my punch was so heavy that it bent the metallic part of the side door.
" What is the issue boss?" Joe finally voiced out, given that he was not there when the issue occurred.
" That slutty bitch just disrespected me and I will make her regret her actions," I vowed under low breath.
I finally managed to calm myself down, I rested my head on the headrest and slept off.
" We are here boss," the tone of Joe woke me up and we all alighted from the car.
He followed closely behind me as we made our way to my office.
" Get me Amarone from the underground wine store," I said to the house help that came to welcome us. She bowed and left our front.
" I need detailed information about that girl before dawn, which is..." I glanced at my wristwatch before completing my statement. " Approximately three hours from now," I concluded and dispersed him to go carry out my instructions.
Just as Joe left, the maid I sent an errand knocked and entered.
" Here is it sir," she placed the tray that contained an exotic looking wine and a wine glass In Front of me.
She turned back to leave but was stopped by me, " wait, get me Lucia,"
Her face distorted slightly and I knew what was running through her mind.
" I won't kill you now but this should be the last time you will ever appear In Front of me," I warned coldly, my body emanating a cold and chilling aura.
She shivered and fumbled with the hem of her dress slightly. " I ... I am sorry sir," she pleaded and ran out of the room with a teary eye.
Standing up from the chair that I sat, I strolled to the glass window, staring down at the silent night. I swirled the glass of wine in my hand before bringing it close to my lips.
Click, click click!
The sound of an approaching heel reached my ear, my lips tugged upward, knowing who the person was.
I heard the sound of the door open and a hot, matured fragrance hit my nose, making me frown slightly.
" Thought I told you to stop using this perfume when we are meeting," I said and turned to the presence.
" That's pheromone and meant to heat up the moment," Lucia replied and whined her hand around my neck.
I glanced down at her small frame and wrapped my hand around my waist.
" You sure know how to get to me," I mumbled. A groan left my mouth as she rubbed herself against my boner.
" molto sexy," I threw my head back and clicked my tongue together.
She smiled brightly, showing her perfect dentition, I couldn't resist the urge to take her right here. With a swift and balanced movement, I carried her on my shoulder and made urgent strides to the regular guest room.
" Sono Tutto tuo, papá ( I am all yours daddy)," she mumbled to my ear, arousing me further. I quickly landed a warning spank on her ass.
I opened the door with my unoccupied hand and threw her carefully on the bed.
" Hmmm," she moaned, rubbing her hand over her breast. I maintained eye contact with her as I slowly unclasped my belt.
I removed my pants and shirt before joining her on the bed. I unhook her bra and remove it from her body.
In an experienced way, I flung her over with her shooting ass facing me.
Without any foreplay or warning, I slammed into her, picturing her as the stripper. She screamed out in pain and tightened her breath, I became more excited and didn't care about how she felt as I continued to ram my full length into her.
Her screams of pain turned to pleasure as she finally adjusted to my length. It Continued like this for the next forty minutes and by the time I was done, she was exhausted so I let her rest in the guest room while I went out to attend to the pending documents in my office.
I met Joe outside, looking like he has been standing there for minutes.
" Since when have you been here?" I questioned. He shrugged and responded, " few minutes ago, I guess,"
" What information do you have for me?" I asked, adjusting the belt on my pants.
" I have collated the information you requested," he put forward.
Excitement gripped over me as I held out my hand for the file in anticipation.

The file was carefully placed in my hand and I waved my hand at him to disperse him. Joe bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly bowed.
" Don't forget the meeting tonight," he reminded me and matched away from my front. I watched his receding back before I finally settled to open the file.
The front page contained all her personal information which included her age and who her parents were. I shunned the information off and was about to open to the next page when my eye caught an interesting information.
"She stays with her sister?" I mumbled in a low voice and as if that wasn't enough, her supposed sister is a chronic bet addict.
A knowing smile crept its way to my lips, without further ado, I closed the file and entered the room.
" What are you still doing there?" I questioned Lucia, who was still acting coyish on the bed.
She instantly stood up and dressed herself up before making her way to the entrance, where I stood and patiently waited for her to leave.
She walked towards me while swaying her hips seductively " Will I be serving you anytime soon?" She paused and asked, deliberately maintaining eye contact with me.
Without paying any attention to her sneaky moves, I entered the room and closed the door behind me, shutting her off outside.
Just as I was about to start planning my next move, a message alarm from my phone brought me out of my thoughts.
" We have 30 minutes for us to start moving," the message from Joe read.
I sighed and took a quick shower before proceeding to the closet to get suitable clothing for the meeting.
I stepped inside the closet with dripping wet hair. With a casual lift of my hand, I picked up a hair towel from the stand where it was kept.
I was wiping my hair and at the same time, checking out the most comfortable clothes for the long night.
My eye caught a leather pant sitting at the end of the hanger and without further ado, I knew that was the best cloth to wear. I paired it up with a pair of leather jacket and black gloves which makes me give off an unfriendly and frightening aura.
I hurried out of the closet after checking myself out and I proceeded downstairs to meet Joe. Just like I expected, the squads that I will be going with are already waiting for me and all I had to do was signal to them then we would move.
" Let's go," I finally voiced out after checking all the men out and they all looked satisfactory to me.
We all entered the assigned vehicles and zoomed off
...
" You should have been lenient with them sir," Joe's voice rang out from behind me and the statement he uttered made me burst out the pending anger within me.
" Why the hell are you telling me this? Those pussy dared to disrespect me, I regret not shooting him more than I did."
Joe kept quiet and didn't bother to calm me down. I already predicted that things weren't going to go easy and thankfully, I managed to sneak in a pistol which I hid in the discrete corner of my pants.
Being in the enemy territory isn't something that I will be very careless with and just like I predicted, they misbehaved which angered me and I ended up shooting the right hand man.
" I hope you know the implications of what you just did?" Joe said in a warning tone
" Who cares?"
I angrily removed the glove from my hand and threw it on the floor before entering the car.
" Are we going back to the Villa or you have somewhere else in mind?" The driver asked.
I was about to answer when a thought flashed in my head and a wicked grin spread across my lips. I picked up my phone and searched across my file for a particular document and...
" Here it is,"
" Let's go to the casino," I said.
" Casino?" Both Joe and the driver exclaimed while giving me a strange stare.
" Go to BOGIES Casino," I added meaningfully. Joe instantly grasped what I was meaning to do at that instant
" But... But sir, I heard that the place is for low lives, would you like to check other places out?"
I was beginning to get infuriated at the way he was going against my words, " follow my god-damned instructions else I will blow your head off."
My statement instantly shut him up and I also relaxed back to my seat afterwards.
The rest of the ride was silent and we eventually got to the place. Joe and I alighted while the driver zoomed to the parking space to wait for us.
" Lead the way," I said to him and he followed suit.
We entered the rough and rowdy looking place, screams were coming from different corners and at the same time, some were arguing at the corner. I didn't waste my time dwelling on them so I faced Joe.
" Find out if she is here and check her table out for me," I instructed as I made my way to a nearby chair.
Joe left my side and returned some minutes later.
" What is the news?"
" She is here," he burst out and an unknown joy flowed in my heart.
I stood up elegantly and said, " lead me to her table,"
Joe led me to a dark corner where some people were playing cards, he whispered to my ear and pointed his finger at her.
She was a woman in her late 40s but I couldn't see her face well because she was crowded by some men.
I moved closer to them only to realize that she was owing them after placing a losing bet which she can't afford. I smiled because things seemed to be going my way tonight.
" Leave her alone," I rang out coldly and all the thugs hovering above her instantly paused.
" Will you bail her out?" The man who seemed like theur leader said. I told Joe to attend to them and he instantly did as he was instructed. Within minutes, everything was sorted out and I left the space with the woman.
We got outside and I was able to see her face clearly but truth be told, she bore no single resemblance with that stripper. What is her name again? Yes, Ava
" Why did you help me? What do you want?" She spoke for the first time while fondling the hem of her dress with nervousness.
" Good that you asked, I want just one thing from you. And I will even give you more money," I proposed.
She instantly looked up upon hearing that money was involved, her gaze was full of questioning and I instantly went down to business.
" I want that stripper."
