Book:Love, Lust, Revenge - His sex toy Published:2024-8-29

Davidson started at Lu wondering what must have gone wrong for him to yell like that, since Lu didn’t care to look at his face he yawned then decided to mind his business which he did. He resumed patting Vito’s back, the boy had even fallen asleep in his broad body making them look like a perfect picture of a father and son.
“I gave you one job, Jordan” Lu slapped his forehead “I fvcking asked you to watch over her and you left the door OPEN!!!!!” He sigh as he turned to see Vito and his brother staring at him “I don’t want to hear any more of your rubbish. Get the place in full lockdown and FIND HER!!!”
He end the call and dropped the phone in between his laps, his jaw moved as he stared into the dark Street filled with street lights. It seems lively, not as dry as he had wanted. The highway seems busy too with not much heavy traffic, vehicles seem to be moving but Lu does not want to buy any of it.
“Are you sure this does not have to do with Zeno?” Davidson asked “Asin, he wouldn’t just let us go like that with this cute kid and wouldn’t do anything”
“Let us go like that?” Lu intoned as he kept looking out the window “You were going to either blow our bodies or roast us like barbecue, what else do you expect from-” he stopped, his angry face turned to look at Davidson.
His brows connected with his head titled to see more of Davidson’s face and find out what seems funny. He couldn’t contain the little sanity in help and he had to yell.
“I’m sorry” Davidson burst into laughter again, his palm tapped harder on Vito’s back as tried to stop himself from laughing at Lu’s red face “You should see the look on your face! Damm!! You believe that crab?”
“What do you mean?” Lu’s still seems puzzles not getting the real joke.
“There was no fucking bomb!!!” David burst into laughter again “It was a prank!”
“A prank??” Lu yelled.
If not for the fact that they just meet after eleven years, barely talk or know things about each other Lu would have pushed Davidson out of the car. He was already getting pissed to the verge of going but, the fact that he could still stare at his brother’s red face made him believe he would make heaven.
“Please pardon my behavior,” Davidson said, “My doctor said if I don’t laugh for long I will explode”
“Explode!!?” Lu shrieks and held his chest as if protecting his heart.
He doesn’t seem to get it, first, the man kept laughing about playing a very terrible prank now he is trying to stop himself from exploding.
“Is this some sort of another humorless prank?” Lu asked angrily “Because if it’s not, I would gladly shoot your brain out to help you EXPLODE QUICK!!!” Lu yelled, he took in a deep breath and exhale with his mouth open “I apologize for yelling, but I still mean to blow your brain OFF!!!”
Davidson went quiet, he stared at Lu for a while then smacked his lips, Shaking his head in disapproval he sucked in his lower lips.
“You got me,” he said dryly “That was another prank just like the first” with Vito still on him, he lifted himself to be out the small device from his back pocket “It’s a device I forgot in my pocket from my last shooting site”
“What did you shoot,” Lu asked, his eyes wide open in anticipation of what his brother had killed.
“It’s not yet out” Davidson lifted the corner of his lips and nose “It’s a movie, my new action movie,” he noticed the uncertain look on Lu’s face and he grinned “I am an actor, comedian, and social media influencer”
With his mouth wide open, Lu nodded his head like he understood what Davidson had said, meanwhile, he still had no idea of what the man was saying. He definitely knew what he meant but he doesn’t want to believe him.
“How did you know too much?” Lu finally asked.
Davidson sigh, his mood change like he wasn’t smiling about a few seconds ago, he rested on the chair and yawned lazily.
“I don’t care if you are tired” Lu snapped “You answer me or we start a world war”
“I will use that as a line in my next comedy video” Davidson forced a smile, he stared at Lu’s face and his chin dropped “It’s Rocco”
“What’s wrong with him?” Lu blurted out “I mean, what about him?”
A faint smile appeared on Davidson’s face “After he clashed with father, we became close” be paused for a while “Seeing how connected I want to be with you but can not because father said if we both get into it, we might end up been killed so he decided to sacrifice you” he pointed at Lu with his mouth.
“What the freak Talaaaa!” Lu exclaimed.
“He couldn’t bear to lose both sons so he had me get the tattoo on my chest the same day you had yours” he studied Lu unbelieving face “I know they made me look like the American kid and I was sent to the united states to study at that time but No! I had been here all those while”
He took in a deep breath and exhale slowly, causing the kid to rise and fall on him.
“I left after the tattoo to Ukraine where I stayed and begged Rocco to watch over you” Davidson continued “Over a month ago, he told me about Alita and how much he loves her but he is scared that you love her too. He decided to leave her to you which didn’t go well until he called me that he quit and I never heard from him”
Lu’s lips kept opening and closing like a goldfish, The story was just too good to be a cock and bull story. He shifted uncomfortably on his chair and stared straight at the driver’s eyes through the front mirror.
“I can take a cab home, Sir” Stefano offered.
“It’s okay,” Lu said quickly, he turned to Davidson and smacked his lips “You have been paying Rocco to be my friend all these years?” He half-shouted “This is unbelievable”
“You have to believe it,” Davidson said “I know I have not been with you or talked much with you but at least I want to protect you for saving me too” Davidson lower his head “I am the weaker one and trust me, I would have been dead long ago, father saw that and have you to cover up for both of us because I have been a coward” his cheeks dropped.
“Yeah!” Lu said in agreement “You have been a chicken but I appreciate your help and we will talk about that when we reach, right now I have to call Jordan”
Davidson didn’t say a word, he just relaxed on his seat and closed his eyes. He listens, waiting for Lu to make his call before he talks again.
“Thank God you called we have a situation here” Jordan yelled to the phone, he turned the call to video call and faced the camera at Alita who had a gun pointed to her head “she had been like this for about twenty minutes now and this is the only Link out of your mansion we had not noticed”
From the phone screen Lu noticed Jordan tried to move to Alita but she pressed the gun more on her head, she kept crying and shaking as if she is been forced to do it until someone appeared from her back.
“Rocco!!!” Lu gasped “Let him see my face Jordan let him see me”
Jordan turned the camera so Lu could see Alita struggling in Rocco’s arm. His right one held a shotgun while the other was around Alita’s neck. He looked at the camera and smirked, his facial expression telling a different story from the last time they saw.
“I told you I will come back for her, Luciano,” Rocco said as he kissed her head “You see I have always tried to be a good friend, protect you even when you don’t deserve it”
“That’s not what you mean, Rocco” Lu shook “Please, do not harm her. We can negotiate well, I promise to give you a lot of money”
Rocco laughed, his grip around Alita’s neck tightened as the girl whimper in his arm “I have earned enough money from working with you and helping your brother protect you” he stopped for a second as if selecting his words “You might not believe he loves you but he does and he had spent a lot to save your useless arrogant and selfish life. It hurts me that I never had a brother like him” he paused, his gaze narrowed as he tried to watch the person well “Boss?” He blinked “Davidson?”
Rocco kept looking at the phone in shock while Lu and Davidson exchange glances, the moment was so precious to be wasted a teardrop rolled down his right eye followed by a loud bang.
The connection went off instantly!
“No!!!!” Lu yelled “Alita” he cried.
