He blinked his eyes and opened, he was alive which at that minute was a very good thing, he could remember everything now as it appeared that all that was needed was for him to get a blow to the head.
There was only one person in his mind at that moment and it was the one who had just hit Rian.
At Moment he tried to move and found out he was restrained, he tried to think about how it had happened again, he had barely made his way in when he came across the fucking man, just when he thought all was said and done he got that devastating blow to head and the rest now was history, he was trying his best to think through the situation but still it was all confusing to him
“Help!”He called out but his voice stretched to the distances giving nothing.
“No one would hear you.”His voice was familiar and so when he least expected it , he had looked up to find Rian.
“Why … Why did you do this.”Christian cried out.
Rian laughter filled the room, “Remember when I said the last time we see, one of us would die… this is it .”
Christian strained on the chair as he cussed.”Why not let us do this as men? ”
Cranking his neck to a side, with his hands tucked into his pants pockets Rian made his way towards where he was. He had to do this , he thought about the effort he had put to this, the fact that he had trailed her all the way to Columbia.
It felt crazy but because of the anger coming from within, he decided it was the best thing to do.
He had just one plan, kill Christian and Tonia would be dragged in
Getting there, there was no point knocking him off, he wouldn’t have if Chris hadn’t called his name.
“I won’t kill you just yet, I would like you to call Laura and tell it is over.”
Christian looked around the room, they were not alone. Inside the room, there were about six men, each with a stick of a cigarette in their mouth. Thanks to the smoke from the cigarettes, the atmosphere was hazy and in a way made the situation less tense.
Scrunching his nose in disgust, Logan proceeded to where he was as he did, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his toned arms. His gaze never left the table where six of the men were as he called after one.
“Hey, go check and make sure everything is on point “he called out to one of the men at the table asked with a merry voice
“Alright boss… He replied, waving him off. His words made the men pause their games as all eyes were now fixed on him.
Not bothered with the gaze he was getting from them, he continued staring at the man that was standing before him. If he wasn’t strained he would be hitting him right now.
“You are scared , right?”Rian asked, pushing his chair backwards as he rose again.
“No, like I said get loose and go man to man”He nodded, affirming his earlier words.
“Why don’t you say you want a way out, you see I like you a lot and I can make a lot of money from you… I don’t love Laura either or your fucking kids, it is all the money. e?”he shot at him.
With the way he was glaring at Rian it seems he was pissed with his statement
“Don’t call my kids.”
“Hit him .”Rian commanded.
He got punched severely till he was bloody
“I don’t get involved with stuff like this.”Rian shrugged. He was still gazing at Chris as if he felt deep sympathy.”You made me.”
“Like I said, I can make Money off you.”
“I don’t even remember my own name.”
“If you say so.”He scoffed then returned to the seat and faced him again.”But I don’t trust you…you remember me.”
The man he had sent came back .
“All clear.”
Rian had his hands folded across his chest with his gaze fixed on him.”You heard that.”

While they were still hanging out smoking and gambling, , the room was filled with the sound of laughter, clicking of glasses and the constant fight from this man.
Engrossed with the game, Rian didn’t realize the gaze of the man that had been on him for the past few minutes.
“I don’t think you are a real man. Come, let’s fight it out ….”He invited, gesturing to the other men on the table with his Head.
“Or better still name your price since all you care about is fucking money!”
Unable to resist his offer, Rian smirked as he waved them away , immediately he was all alone.
Chuckling, Rian reclined on the chair he was sitting on and with a broad smile said, “how much You say.”
“Yes … I can make you rich.”
“Stop bluffing. I know you are rich but … you can’t beat me at my game”he scowled in anger.
“Really?”Chris chuckled. He was enjoying the look of frustration.”Just in case you don’t know, it’s not just money, it is an asset as well. Fortunately, I have both .”He said, still chuckling
Frustrated and with a face reddened with anger, Rian pushed his chair away and pulled out a gun.
“money or nothing. Let’s see if you are really smart…You should be a lawyer, so imagine…And no one would know about this.”He said with a firm voice.
Though he looked serious, Rian. found his expression funny so he couldn’t help but laugh. His laughter did nothing but spur an anger in him.
Christian teasing continued and when he couldn’t take it anymore, he rose from the table, kicking everything on his way aside.
“You…”he said, gritting his teeth in anger.
“You’d rot me here”Rian boasted.
“Let’s see if you are right, it won’t take time before they find me and you… ”
“Shut it!”. Rian voice came through. No one had an idea that he had that kind of Anger in him and it took a while for the man with him to
recovered from the shock,
Hedecided to speak, “I will get back to you. e.”He said, a smirk on his lips.
“Watch him.”He noted to the last man.
“Yes sire.”he said without batting an eyelid as he took over Rian’s seat.
*****
“You? I don’t gamble with money, you know, it reduces my morale.”He muttered.
“Why not the offer, you help me out, and I pay you.”
“Play Harder, you can’t get into my head .”He snapped. His face was still reddened with anger.
“Okay.”He chuckled.”Someone would eventually.
“eYou are in for a rough ride, buddy. Boss isn’t someone to mess with.”He said, mouthful smoking.
“Really? I’m getting excited already.”He chuckled but the man cuts in
“This is my offer of 1 Million and a house in the Bahamas, “he said with a firm voice.
The man rubbed his jaw.
“Are you serious? ”
“I’d sign the check soon as we were out.”
“Deal.”He said without thinking. He was certain it was a good decision.
“Deal.”Chris replied.
Christian who was good at what he did, made sure he was out of the ropes as soon as they were out. No one was willing to give chance to the other.
While he drove them out, the other men were alerted, the men shot and drove after them for the first few minutes, their focus was shifted to to get across to the car but Chris kept smirking as the man with him was a good driver .
It was as if he was in his head and was reading everything he was thinking.
Though frustrated, he didn’t show since she was determined to get away.
“I told you, boss is a hard nut to crack, you can see for yourself right?”The man said suddenly when they hit the highway. He wanted him to speak but Chris was too weak to speak or say something that he would brag about at the end of the day.
“I just hope you keep your promise “he chuckled. He was equally relieved as he drove downtown to where he had watched him.
With the money on his mind and the risk that will follow if they are eventually caught z he was determined to do what he could m
Getting to the house, , just as he was about to knock … The door opened.
“I have him.”
Laura and Antonia looked down at him.
