White Lion’s POV
“For the love of all that is good Lion can you please stop pacing. Just calm the fuck down!” Sophia said for the umpteenth time, dragging her hands across her face in an exasperated manner.
I had reached her office a few minutes ago and immediately told her all that had happened earlier including the fact that Mira and Ken knew each other and Ken did not deem it fit to tell me.
I wanted to throw tantrums and yell but I was leader for many reasons including the ability to remain calm in difficult situations. I couldn’t let them start thinking that I was losing my cool. That would be detrimental to me and inherently to my plans.
Plus the fact that I had so unceremoniously killed two of my men was something that I knew threw off the gang, but I didn’t regret it. They had touched her and they deserved it.
“I am calm!” I said out loud as I reached the middle of Sophia’s office.
“No you are not and it’s scaring me coupled with that hideous make up on you have on your face.” Sophia huffed in anger.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
I was about to reprimand her but Marcus walked in.
Sophia exhaled knowing that I wouldn’t want to scold her in the presence of a third party.
Marcus walked further into the room and his eyes immediately looked for Sophia who was sited at the edge of her desk. A moment passed before he acknowledged my presence.
I had always suspected that He had feelings for Sophia but I never had any proof of it order than him staring at her here and there so I just let it pass. More so, Marcus was a damn womanizer.
It was something That I didn’t agree with him on. Women deserved to be cherished and thus I didn’t believe in making love to a woman if I didn’t like her or at least admire her.
Yes gang leaders have their principles and that was mine. My mum imbibed in me the love for women, for I loved and admired her so much that it hurt like death to think about her.
I had only made love to two women my whole life. One was in highschool. She was the most beautiful girl in my secondary school and she was head over heels in love with me.
Coupled with her beauty she was also a goddamn good seductress. In my finals I couldn’t withstand her acts of seduction anymore and gave in to her demands.
It had been amazing much better than I had imagined it to be.
We had a good sexual relationship until her father caught wind of it. He had immediately flown her out of the country for her father was a very wealthy oil tycoon.
I didn’t mind though. I knew she deserved the best. Audrey was so beautiful and good she didn’t deserve someone like me neither did Mira but Mira was my salvation. Mine. I was selfish with her and I couldn’t let her go. I just couldn’t.
The second woman had been Sophia. Another temptress. Sophia knew a lot and had taught me a lot.
It had taken time for her to open up to me and maybe that was one of the reasons why she held a special place in my heart.
I would be happy If she ended up falling for Marcus. I really wanted Sophia to be happy just not with me. And the two of them together will be madd.
“Boss you are back so early.” Marcus commented walking towards me.
I exhaled realizing now that I had just let my mind wander too far.
“Have you gotten tired of watching over her so soon. You’ve missed your gang haven’t you?” Marcus asked with a hopeful smile. But In his eyes I could see that he knew it was too much to hope for.
I scoffed.
“I am here because apparently Ken is no stranger to Mira. In fact she seemed to know him so well. I don’t think she was the least bit surprise about his attack.”
Marcus’s eyes widened in shock just the same way mine had done when I found out this little piece of information that could change our whole plan. Thanks to the dpo, I would surely give him a raise.
He stared at Sophia and she shrugged.
“Why didn’t he tell you that they know each other? I never liked that guy Lion I warned you about him. This whole plan has a lot of loopholes and___”
“Stop it Marcus!” I warned glaring at him from across the room.
He exhaled and shut up.
I wanted to scream in anger. “Ken that fucking son of a bitch! That bastard! He would get to know why I still remain the strongest most dangerous gang leader in this town!”
Rage was filling me now and I just wanted to kill something or someone but not now. For now I needed to know what relationship that son of a bitch had with my love.
“She said he is her aunts son right? Maybe there is nothing to it.” Sophia added, trying in futility to calm me down. She herself knew better.
“Of course there is more to it Lion. If there wasn’t he would have told you about it.” Marcus walked closer to me from across the room. “You cannot offer Ken even a tiny bit of trust, no matter how minute. He is a rival. We must always be two steps ahead.”
“Three steps brother! Always threw steps ahead!” I corrected.
“Ken wanted to play me?” I laughed bitterly. “The motherfucker had bitten more than he can chew.”
I inhaled and calmed down. I was alpha and I needed to show it.
“What’s the commissioner saying? I am so in the mood for business.” I said walking towards Sophia’s desk.
They both glared at me in shock at first before they smiled.
Marcus patted my shoulders as he walked over the desk too. “That’s my Lion.” He sounded well pleased.
And together we arranged a beautiful blackmail while my mind kept drifting to my darling Mira.
