BRANDEN
After a safe trip back to Georgia, there was no time to go to work, I had so many issues bothering me, before leaving I had assigned a top staff of mine to handle the affairs of the company. I barely slept.
I’m very certain that whoever is behind this is the same person that tried to kidnap Diana months ago. This same evil person is trying to blackmail and destroy my relationship with Diana but I won’t let it happen. This time I won’t sit and do nothing.
I think it’s high time I investigate about who this perpetrators are, they must be someone very close to me, once I find them I’ll bring them to their feet and slit the throats.
No one double crosses me and gets away with it, not in this life or the next.
I sat at the passenger seat boiling in my vengeful state, my expression darkened and anger masked my facials. This bastard is definitely going to pay for blackmailing me, the time had come and noon was approaching.
I couldn’t tell Diana about what was going on, this mistake of mine must be rectified and I’m going to do it on my own.
My bodyguards sat beside me as the driver drove us to the address sent by the blackmailer. I pinpointed the location and found out that the address sent by the blackmailer was an abandoned warehouse. Used to store up aluminum and steel back in 1990. The company went into bankruptcy and sold all their steel and aluminum.
Clenching and unclenching my fists I glanced at my wrist to see the time. I have to be back before Diana wakes up, this was for her good and for our good.
I couldn’t help but feel guilty, I drugged Diana so I would successfully leave the house and catch this bloody criminal. My fear of loosing her is my reason for doing all of this, I know how miserable I would be if she decides to walk out of my life.
I was specifically told to come alone I wasn’t going to let anyone kill me that easily when I have a fleet of armed men at my feet.
Nobody dares temper with my life, my wellbeing or my relationship.
On sighting the huge warehouse I commanded the driver to stop. This blackmailers and goons might notice the movement of more than one person if we drove directly to the entrance. Quietly I ambled out of the car, went to the boot and picked up the bag that had $20 million inside.
I was going to deliver the money but I wasn’t going to spare their lives.
I dialed the blackmailers line and waited for him to pick up. This evil minded people have no idea of what’s coming to them, I’ll submit hell to them, they’ve blackmailed the wrong person. “Where are you?” his deep voice caught my attention.
“I’m outside the warehouse” I replied coldly.
“Come in, we are waiting….. I hope you brought the money”
“Yes I did”
“Alright then come in” he hanged up immediately.
My feet moved swiftly as I advanced towards the black huge warehouse door. My bodyguards tip toed towards the entrance as they held up machine guns.
They signaled eachother and took positions. On my command they must shoot.
I stood Infront of the door, took a deep breath and walked into the warehouse, startled by their appearance I jolted backwards.
Three men stood opposite me, they were slightly far from me. They were armed and covered from head to toe.
The warehouse was quite dark and dusty, few aluminum plates were left on dusty floor of the ware house, cobwebs were all over the place.
I couldn’t see their faces because they were masked and because the warehouse was dark. “Come closer!” the armed goon at the middle yelled. I walked confidently and stopped at a closer point.
“Empty your pockets!” he yelled through his mask.
My face morphed a frown, I stared Intently at the armed men, I was eager pick out a gun and shoot them in the head but I’d be dead if I act drastically.
“Do it or I shoot” he held up his gun and pointed it at me.
I dug my hands in my pocket, pulled out a gun and some scribbled papers. I knew this would happen so I abandoned every important property of mine in the car.
“Good, now walk over there and drop the bag of money” he pointed to the far end of the warehouse. Obediently I complied and walked over to where his fingers pointed to.
I dropped the bag of money and waited for another command of theirs before I unleash the hell that was waiting for them at the entrance of the warehouse.
“Step back and leave, quietly with your hands up” the middle man yelled. I raised up my hands and reversed carefully towards the door.
Their guns pointed at me as I walked backwards, on getting out I signalled my bodyguards and ran back to the car.
My guards cocked their machine guns and began to release bullets through the steel walls of the warehouse. Loud gunshots echoed as the bodyguards mercilessly shot into the warehouse.
A devilish grin appeared on my lips as I watched the bloody massacre I had unleash on the goons, my bodyguards stopped and waited for a fireback but they got no response.
This was a sign that they were all dead, I rushed out of the car, hid for a minute and sneaked into the warehouse with my bodyguards in front of me.
The smell of death and gun smoke saturated the air as we moved closer to see the armed men on the floor with bullet holes all over their bodies.
A victorious smile masked my lips as I bent over to unveil the identities of the goons, I was curious to know if someone I personally knew would be among them.
After removing their masks, I saw unfamiliar faces, people I’ve never met or crossed paths with. I was disappointed. This mysterious enemy of mine is still out there, alive, plotting more traps for me to fall into.
This men were just send to do their jobs, I stood up and walked out of the warehouse, my bodyguards picked up the money and followed me back to the car.
The money wasn’t the issue, $20 million dollars has no hold on my finances. I could decide to abandon the money because I make triple of that amount every week.
We stepped into the car and drove off, atleast I gunned down some workers of theirs. This should serve as a message to anyone who tries to mess with me.
In my moment of victory my phone rang, it was an unknown number. I examined the number, it didn’t match that of the blackmailer’s line.
I picked it up and kept mute.
“You think you’re smart huh? You think you’ve won. You killed my men and ran away, I told you to do this so I wouldn’t send this picture to your girlfriend. You disobeyed me and you think I’d spare you?”
“I don’t fucking care what you do, who the hell do you think you are to threaten me?” I yelled over the phone.
“Like I said, my identity doesn’t matter. Worry about your girlfriend and precious name” the caller hanged up before I could utter any word.
Shit! he must have sent those videos to Diana, I need to get home as fast as I can, pick up her phone and delete everything before she wakes up.
“Fucking drive!!” I urged my driver anxiously. My palms began to sweat profusely. I didn’t know why I felt so uneasy about common pictures and videos.
But all I knew was that Diana was the last person I would want to loose, I can’t afford to see her walk out if my life. What if my pleadings and explanation does nothing but fuel up the issue? What then would I do? I know for a fact that I can’t function without her in my life.
Last night the blackmailer had sent those pictures and videos to me, although I was intoxicated but it seemed like I was enjoying it to the fullest.
How is Diana going to believe me when I say I wasn’t at my right senses.
If I lay my eyes on those ladies that aided this trap I’ll make sure to end their lives with my own hands.
We drove into my mansion, anxiously I ran into the house and went into my room where I left Diana sleeping but this time she wasn’t there and her phone wasn’t in the room either.
Shit! She’s awake.
