Chapter 11
Klaus;
“The shipment has been delayed for over two months now if I am not mistaken. Which should be great news.” I tilted my head, “So why the hell are you… sweating and stuttering?”
He opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again.
“What is wrong with this motherfucker?” I asked.
Mario glanced at me, and I, him. Our eyes met for a few seconds and together, we sprang off the sofas, making our way out the door.
‘So help me God’… I swore silently as we made our way down the hall, and towards the elevator. Going down to my underground lair.
The moment the elevator doors opened, I stormed out. The container has arrived, truly, sitting proudly on the aisle. I noticed some of my men standing by the side, with forlorn expressions on their faces, and I dreaded what was to come.
My feet stomped on the concrete as I made my way to the back, forced open the doors and my jaws dropped in absolute shock.
My eyes were wide as saucers as I stared at the thousands of empty bags, littered in the container. Empty.
I grabbed a hold of some. Making absolute sure my eyes were not playing pranks on me, but they weren’t. The bags were empty, and my fucking millions were gone with it.
“What the fuuuuuckkkk!!!” I growled loudly, as I turned to face the men.
“What the fuck happened to my shipment?”
Their eyes were all trained on the ground, but Eric, my second in command spoke up, “It just came in now, Don. Our drivers weren’t the ones on the seat when we found out. And the driver… he choked on his tongue the moment it got here.”
“What? How is that possible? Are you so fucking clueless you didn’t trace it back?” I asked, but he remained quiet
I was enraged. These shipments are worth a hundred million dollars and they have been destroyed, in a blink of an eye.
“How is this possible? How the fuck did this happen?” I was pacing and seething, as I glared at every single one of the men on standby.
They were quiet. No one seemed to have an answer to my question, or they were just suddenly dumb.
“I am pretty sure I did not train a bunch of dumb fools, now. Did I?” I asked again, gritting my teeth
“I just asked a fucking question!” I grabbed a stool, and flung it aside with so much force it got one of the men in the face.
He didn’t move an inch, and a trail of blood ran down from his nose.
This must be that bastard’s doing. I couldn’t be mistaken, but there was no way he would have guessed our location. No fucking way.
I felt my cell phone beep, and I pulled it up. The number was strange, but I could take a wild guess.
I let in a deep breath, before I answered, “You have no fucking idea who you are messing with, Angelo. I will be lenient enough to give you roughly twenty four hours to provide my money, or else… ”
“Or else, what?” My brows shot up in surprise. The feminine voice did not belong to Angelo one bit.
“Oh, how I’ve missed your voice, Klaus. I wish I was there to see your face. Tell me, how did you like my surprise? ”
What the…
” Angela?”
“The one and only,” she drawled out.
That wasn’t possible. I glanced at Mario, my jaws clenching in anger. He should be prepared to answer some fucking questions when I’m done with this.
I turned my back, walking further down the elevator, “What have you done, Angela?”
She laughed loudly, pissing me off the more, “Oh, Klaus. I think the question should be; How the fuck am I still alive?”
My fists were clenched together and I could feel my fingers digging into my palm.
The same question nagged at me, but as much as I needed answers, her, being alive was a game spoiler.
Years ago, when I had captured Angelo. It was only made possible through Angela’s help. She was his lover, then. His first true love. If I wasn’t mistaken, but she had ratted him out, quite easily, I might add, the moment I offered her some cool deal.
A deal I had no plans on granting. She was a tool and had always been. But, Just before we could finalize it all, I had sent my men to finish her off.
I made sure she was left in the burning house. Completely hopeless, as the house burned down to ashes.
I still couldn’t tell how the hell she was suddenly alive, and speaking to me at the moment.
She added, “We had a deal, Klaus. And now, we are even.”
” Do you perhaps know the gravity of what you’ve just done, Angela? Do you know how much worth of goods was In the container? You should pray I do not find you, cause I am feeding your bones to the dogs.”
” Mhm, I would love to see you try, but that isn’t happening anytime soon.”
” However, I have a little compensation for you. I’m pretty sure you would love it.”
Gritting my teeth, I snarled, ” The only compensation I would love right now is drilling a hole in every fucking part of your body, torturing you in ways you would never imagine, and I would not stop until you cough out every single penny you have taken from me!”
“Oh, please. You talk too much for a Mafia Lord, Klaus. Believe me, you wouldn’t want to mess with me now. I am not the same person you once knew. But that is by the way. Are you willing to take the compensation I have for you, or not?”
I scoffed, “You’re still the same stuck-up bitch I once knew. Take your fucking compensation and shove it up your fucking ass!” I snarled at her.
I was so pissed that I made to hang up the call. Her words made me stop mid-air.
“You want Angelo, right? I am willing to offer you his most prized possession… only for a token.”
