Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Brave

Alex was so upset.He couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Actually, he received a message that one of Maximo’s closest men was on his way to his house but for two hours, nothing happened.He actually knew something was wrong with Maximo.

Could Charles be doing something with Maximo? Maybe it was something very secretive.

And because Maximo was acting so strangely.

Ok, it has been over years since they had seen each other.

Then, Maximo used to be very cooperative but maybe he was older or maybe it was because there’s something else going on that he doesn’t know.And he couldn’t wait to find out.

The door opened suddenly and one of his men walked inside.

"Maximo is here to see you," he announced.

Alex looked up, a bit startled.

"What? He’s here?" The man nodded once.

"Yes, boss. Should we let him in or not?" novelebook.com Alex thought about it for a moment before he made a slight nod of his head.

"Let him inside."

The man nodded once and walked out.

Could Maximo have called his man back and decided to tell him whatever he wanted to, directly? It was the only explanation that Alex could gather and somehow, it pleased him.He was glad to know that his plan to oppress Maximo was actually working.His father would especially be proud of him, he was sure of that.

Maximo was in the living room when he walked inside.He regarded him for a moment.

"It’s surprising that you came back.I thought you wouldn't."

"Why don’t you sit and let’s discuss," Maximo muttered.

Alex grumbled and moved to a chair.

"Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you that question, Alex.Italy is my home.You are the guest here." novelebook.com Alex groaned.

"Is that what you came here to say?"

Maximo cleared his throat meaningfully.

"Why don’t we start with why you did what you did years ago?" Alex hesitated for a moment.

"You asked me to, remember?"

"Because you knew today was going to come so you can use it against me.You knew you were going to need my help one day, or rather you were going to use me," he hesitated for a moment.

"Or maybe, you didn't think I would be here at this moment.Oh," he laughed.

"You obviously didn’t expect to even meet me in Italy, as the new mafia lord.You didn’t expect any of this and what happens to something we have no expectations for?"

"Are you playing me?" Maximo regarded him for a moment.

"Does it look like I am?"

"Damn! It looks like it!" Alex yelled and slammed his hand on the table.

"Don't fucking get me annoyed and get straight to the point!"

"Or what?"

Maximo made a cracking sound in his throat.

"Are you going to kill me? Or better still threaten me with the video? You can’t kill me, Alex.You and I know better than that.Everyone knew I came here.The majority are just a few minutes away from this place.If I don’t go out after a specific time, they would attack this place.And so you know, you won’t be able to escape it," He warned.

Alex groaned.

"What do you want, Maximo? Why are you here exactly?"

Maximo stared at him for a moment, and a smile found its way to his lips.

"Do you even have the evidence you have been talking about?"

"What?"

Alex was shocked.He didn’t expect the question.

"You heard me right, Alex.Let’s be frank with each other.I’m not going to cower under your feet, not anymore.You aren’t going to control me like you own the place.Your father might be a powerful man in Jacksonville but it ends there.You can’t be a boss in Italy, your reign ends in Jacksonville."

"How dare you!"Alex yelled at him in anger.He was fuming in rage and marvelling at Maximo's intelligence.

"How dare you!"

Maximo fired back, with anger in his eyes.

Alex's eyes thinned on him.

"This is why you are here? To run your mouth? I’m not going to tell you everything I can do.I’m sure you are aware of it already.You will just be putting yourself into trouble because I won’t stop until you are down." Maximo clicked his lips.

"I doubt it.I doubt you have anything you can use against me, Alex.It’s all over.There’s nothing you can do."

"I'm going to show you more, Maximo.I’m going to show you that there’s a lot I can do."

Maximo watched his expression for a moment.

"Show me,"he stressed.

"Show me the evidence and I will believe you.Show it to me now, and let me know you have been telling the truth all this while." Alex clenched his fists beside him in anger.

"I will, Maximo.Wait for it."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Maximo smiled slightly.

"I will, that is if you have," he stood.

"But you will regret ever doing this, Alex.I will bring you down," he turned to leave but stopped almost immediately.

"Because I know your weakness, Alex.I know that you are wanted in Jacksonville.You are not to expose your identity now because of it."

"What?"

Alex was shocked again.

"How did you know?"

Maximo laughed and turned to look at him.

"Everyone has their way.You aren’t the only one that has such a trick up their sleeve.Just know that I’m watching you!"

He warned and walked out of the room.

Alex threw away everything on the table in anger.He was in full rage.He felt like killing Maximo at that moment but he wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do, especially with what he had said initially.

If Maximo was right, he would be in grave danger if he tried any wrong step.He could even get himself killed but what if Maximo was lying and he just missed the opportunity to eliminate him? But would Maximo really lie? Why would he come to his abode without such security in place? Well, only one way to find out.
