“Why do I need this?”
Darius came to visit Massimo and had carefully instructed that they were kept in a room that had a good demarcation between then just in case Massimo might want to attack him, as he saw in his vision.
Its being a few weeks now and he decided that it was time to see if he would need to get rid of Gunfury and get another competent trainer to get his job done on time.
With how enrage Massimo seemed when he entered the room, he was starting to think that he made a bad choice by coming here. He would have just requested that they had a video call… that’s a new technology, right? He thought to himself.
“Massimo, do you know who I am?” he asked him.
“You have asked this question like three times now, why do you keep asking that?” he asked sounding annoyed.
‘Does he remember who he is?’ he asked himself as he watched Massimo who was now on his feet, pacing the small room he was in as he gave him a contemptuous look.
“I need you to answer my question, that is the only way I can answer all your queries” he said to him.
Massimo stopped pacing then walked closer to the demarcation and stopped when he was a foot away, he shook his head and let out a sigh.
“Of course, I know who you are, you are my uncle who wants to seek revenge for the demise of my parents and the family that took care of me. Now, tell me why you need me to go through this”
Darius released a sigh of relief then asked Massimo to sit on the chair that was behind him while he sat on the one by his side.
“I needed you to go through this training because, it’s a…” he paused, trying to use the right word to describe the lies he was going to say to him “It’s a family tradition that all men in the family go through, it makes us stronger so that we can face anything in life” he smiles.
“Using weapons and constantly chanting ‘You have to destroy the Lorenzo’s’ is a family tradition?” Massimo asked with a frown “You know when I constantly want to know why we need to destroy this family, I am being beaten and it’s like you want to brainwash me into doing something to this family” Massimo says.
‘He’s going to turn against me’, Darius thought as he panicked.
“No, no, that’s not the main aim for this. This Lorenzo’s are the family responsible for all these that happened to us… your mum’s death, your father’s death, everything that happened to our family… everything that ever happened to us” Darius explained.
“You want revenge on them?” Massimo asked, the frown now dissolved and his face held no emotions.
Darius nods then stood to his feet and walked closer to the demarcation between them. “I want revenge as much as you do” he watched Massimo’s face as he spoke “Are we on the same page?”
“What do you want me to do to them?”
A smile spread across Darius face. ‘Maybe he isn’t going to turn against me after all’, Darius thought to himself.
“Remember I told you they took almost everything from us?” Massimo nods his head. “You are going to take beck what they took from us”
“How about my parents and the family who took me in? When do I plan their revenge?”
“Massimo my dear nephew, we will have to take this slowly so that we can get them where they never expect it” he told him.
“When do we start? How do we do all these and will they suspect anything?”
Darius went back to sit on his chair then crossed his legs “When you are done with your training, we will talk more about how you will go to them” he laughed “The best is about to start” he comments then calls for Gunfury to take Massimo away.
Before he went, he left a little message for Gunfury then he took his leave.
…
“There is an event coming up for the Lorenzo’s” one of his personal bodyguards informed him when he entered his office.
He was already back at his office after going to see his nephew some hours ago. Darius felt over the moon since his plans were slowly coming to pass… this was something he had been planning for years and was just waiting for the right time to strike.
His brother after all wasn’t the only one on his ‘To destroy’ list. He had a list of people who he took offence with in the past and would stop and nothing to get his revenge.
“What is this event about?”
“A family friend’s engagement ceremony” answered the guard who placed an invitation card into his hand.
Darius opened the card and read the content of the card to himself with a smirk now on his face.
“This is good, this is good. You’ll both get a raise for this” he said happily then stood to his feet to and walked towards his opened window. “This is a perfect time to cause some chaos, right?” he asked.
“Very well, sir” both guards answered in unison.
A loud laughter came out of his mouth before he went back to his chair and sat there. He was going to say something when he was interrupted with the ringing of the phone.
“Why are you interrupting me?” he asked slightly annoyed, the person on the other line said somethings and he sighs then shook his head and buried his face in his palm. “I’ll me there, just keep her in check” he instructed and put his phone down.
“That infuriating woman just likes to get on my nerves” he hissed then looked at the bodyguards who were still standing in front of his desk as they await his orders “What are you here for? Get out and leave me alone” he yelled and they scurried out of his office with a little bowl before the door closed.
“This is the last time, I swear… one more time and I will end it for you” he mutters then stood up and made his way out of his office and to his car that was already prepared for him to use.
…
“You are seriously causing more trouble for you and your son” Darius said when he adjusted his collar and sat properly on the chair placed in front of her.
“Please don’t do this to my son… its not him you have a grudge against, its me and my late lover and you already killed him… please just spear my son and don’t let him pay for what he knows nothing about” she begged with tears rolling down her eyes.
“You should have never picked that loser over me” he spat angrily.
‘It is you who is the loser’ she wanted to yell at him but bite her bottom lip and knew better than to annoy him further.
“I am sorry” she apologized.
“Well, don’t you think your apology is a tad too late?” he asked then chuckled as he took a sip from his glass that held some wine inside “I do not need apologies anymore, what I need is revenge and it will be greater that the apology you are offering me” he said to her.
“Take me instead, use me as you wish instead and just let him go… don’t do anything to the Lorenzo’s too, they have nothing to do with all these going on” she pleaded.
“How please, shut it. Donald has a hand too in my misfortune and I will make not just him but his entire family to be ripped apart, they will understand the pain I humiliation you all caused me years back” he threatened.
“It was me and I am taking the blame just don’t do this to them,” she tried to convince him “I don’t care what happens to me, just don’t do anything bad to them, I beg you” she begged him and would have just stood up from the chair if not that her wrists and legs were tightly tied to the chair.
“Ha-ha, look at you, looking so pathetic and stupid, so scared an-”
“Loosen me from this chair and find out how much of a coward I am” she said in a rough, deep voice.
“Now, we have feisty Lexi back, don’t we?” he rolled his eyes and stood up then walked over to the door and looked over his shoulder “This would have been better and a lot easier but you choose this Lexi, you brought this upon yourself, see you when I see you next my love” he opened the door and left the room.
Lexi’s screams echoed in the room followed by her loud wailing.
“It’s working, I’m breaking them, its working” he smirked and got into his car.
