Chapter 40: Mission Accomplished
“Give me the antidote.” Alfred said and Caesar immediately gave him the medium sized tube containing the antidote.
“She’s dead already,” Shikita said, “There’s no use in giving her the antidote. The poison already did it’s job. She is history.”
Alfred ignored Shikita’s words and he opened the tube, then he parted Theresa’s lips and he emptied the liquid into mouth.
Alfred threw the tube aside and he fixed his gaze on Theresa’s face, silently praying for her to open her eyes.
After a minute or two, nothing happened. There was no sign of change in Theresa’s body.
“I told you she’s dea…
Shikita’s statement was cut short when Theresa coughed and her eyes opened slowly.
“Theresa!” Alfred called with an hint of happiness in his voice.
“My Lord,” Theresa replied with a weak smile.
“Caesar, call Rose and tell her to come with a car. Tell her to also bring Jeff along.” Alfred said to Caesar.
“Alright boss.” Caesar replied, then he brought out his phone from his pocket and he dialed Rose’s number.
Rose picked the call after the third ring and Caesar told her everything Alfred instructed him to tell her, then he ended the call.
“They’ll be here within five minutes. I’ll go wait for hen outside.” Caesar said to Alfred, then he walked out of the lab.
Theresa was now sitting on a chair and Alfred checked her body temperature with the back of his hand. Her temperature was normal.
“You’re sure you aren’t feeling pains anywhere in your body?” Alfred asked with a concerned expression on his face.
“Yes, my Lord,” Theresa replied with a smile, “I feel good as new.”
Shikita remained on her spot. The surprised look on her face was vivid. “I’m really surprised that you survived my deadliest poison.” She said.
Theresa smirked at her, “That’s why I’m the boss’s woman. I don’t die easily. It’ll take more than a poison to kill me.” She boasted confidently.
Just then, Caesar walked in. “Jeff and Rose are waiting outside, boss.”
“Let’s go,” Alfred said to Theresa before turning his neck to face Caesar, “Bring her out.”
Alfred and Theresa walked out of the building with Caesar and Shikita behind them. Caesar had a gun pointed at the back of Shikita’s head.
Jeff and Rose were both standing beside a black Mercedes Benz.
“Boss.” Jeff and Rose greeted Alfred.
“Jeff? You’re with them too?” Shikita said from behind Alfred. She was glaring dangerously at Jeff.
Jeff scratched the back of his head, faking a smile. “Well, hello boss. How are you?”
Shikita’s mood changed drastically. She raised her voice at him. “You are a fucking bastard. Jeff! You’re a traitor!”
“Now you’ve got to take it easy, boss,” Jeff said, still maintaining that fake smile. “These guys aren’t gonna hurt you. They just want information. If you cooperate with them like I did, everything would be fine. Remember I was once a member of the Gilbertos. I can assure that you won’t die if you cooperate.”
Shikita was gritting her teeth at him. She went wild and nearly flung herself on Jeff, but Cesar stopped her on time before she had the thoughts to do so. His gun went from her back to her forehead.
“Dante would have you fed to his tigers when he gets his hands on you,” Shikita said to Jeff. “Just you wait. No one betrays the Marcels and gets away with it. No one!”
Jeff scoffed at her, “Story for the gods.”
Shikita got infuriated and she tried to attack Jeff but she stopped when she heard the sound of a gun cocking.
“Move an inch and I’ll feed your head with my bullets.” Caesar said dangerously, pointing the gun directly at her forehead.
Shikita became mute, but she was still glaring daggers at Jeff.
Caesar faced Alfred, “What should we do with her, boss?”
“Tie her up and take her to the hideout. If she tries anything funny, shoot her legs.” Alfred replied.
Caesar nodded. “Understood.”, then he hit Shikita’s head with the butt of his gun, making her pass out.
Shikita was placed inside the boot of the car which brought Alfred, Theresa, Shikita and Caesar to Shikita’s lab.
“I’ll meet the rest of you at the hideout later tonight,” Alfred said, “Until then, make sure you stay at alert.”
“Understood, boss.” Caesar and Jeff bowed, then they both got inside the car and drove off.
Alfred stared at the car till it was out if sight. Rose opened the passenger’s seat for Alfred and he got inside the Benz. Theresa also sat beside him in the rear seats of the Benz. Rose got behind the wheels immediately.
“Take us to a nearby hotel.” Alfred said, then Rose blared the engines to life and she drove out of the location.

Rose pulled up in front of a hotel. She hurriedly climbed down the vehicle to open the door for Alfred. Alfred stepped out of the car with Theresa.
Alfred and Theresa were now putting on new clothes. Rose had branched a mall on their way to the hotel to get them new clothes and shoes.
The three of them walked inside the hotel to the reception.
“Good afternoon.” The male receptionist greeted with a wide smile on his face.
Alfred booked two rooms and the receptionist handed him two keys, then he walked to the elevator with Rose and Theresa.
“What about the Hinata?” Alfred asked as they stepped inside the elevator.
“She’ll be here very soon.” Rose replied.
“Who us Hinata?” Theresa thought as the elevator slowly shut, then it rode them up.
The elevator finally came to a stop and the door swished open. The three of them stepped out of the elevator and Alfred gave Rose a key.
“Go stay in your room till I call for you. And when Hinata arrives, direct her to my room.” He instructed.
“Alright boss.” Rose replied with a slight bow of her head, then she walked to her room.
Alfred averted his gaze to Theresa, “Let’s go.”
Theresa simply nodded and the both of them walked down the passage which led to their room.
Room 329 was their room. Alfred opened the door and the both of them stepped inside the large and luxurious room.
The floor was tiled from wall to wall with white tiles. The chandelier in the room numbered about six, with colour lights beaming intermittently like those of dominoes. The room had two double split air conditioners that kept it very cool. Everything in the room screamed wealth.
Alfred took off his shirt and threw it on the bed. The deep cut in his stomach came into view. Theresa stared at the cut with a sad look on her face.
‘He got wounded because of me.’ She thought to herself. Alfred’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts.
“You hungry?”
“Yeah,” Theresa replied, “But I’m gonna take a bath before I eat.”
“Alright, I’ll order something right away.” Alfred replied.
Theresa undressed herself and she tied a towel around her waist, then she stepped inside the bathroom.
Alfred fetched out a cigar box from his pocket and he took out one and clamped it with his lips before lighting it up.
He drew in hard on the cigar and puffed smoke high in the air. The cigar calmed hua nerves and he walked to the window.
He was glad that the mission was successful. There were able to get the antidote and one of Dante’s front men. It was like killing two birds with a stone and that made Alfred happy.
A victorious smirk broke out of his lips and he took another drag from the cigar.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
‘I am another step ahead of you, Dante Marcel, and very soon I’ll get you and make you pay for killing my parents’ He said to himself.
He turned his neck to look at the door when he heard a knock.
“Boss, it’s Rose,” he heard Rose’s voice outside the room. “Hinata is here.” She added.
“Come in.” He replied.
The door opened and Rose stepped in with a young light skinned Japanese lady who had a white briefcase in her hand.
“You can leave.” Alfred told Rose.
Rose bowed slightly, then she stepped out of the room.
“Good afternoon, Don.” Hinata greeted Alfred with a slight bow.
Hinata is also a member of the Gilberto family. She is based in Japan and she works as a doctor.
Alfred walked to the bed and he sat down, flickering ashes off his cigarette. “Yeah, it’s been a while, Hinata.” He replied.
Hinata walked to the bed and she sat in front of him, then she placed her briefcase on her laps.
“Wasn’t expecting you here in Tokyo,” Hinata said as she took out a disinfectant liquid and a cotton wool. “What brought you here?”
Alfred drew in a long puff from the lighted cigarette in his hand. This time around, the smoke didn’t see the light of the day. It got buried in Alfred’s heart and stomach as he inhaled it.
“We came here for a secret mission.” Alfred replied.
“It’s unlike you to get this wounded in battle,” Hinata said as she cleaned the wound with a white cotton wool soaked with disinfectant.
Alfred let out a soft chuckle, “I underestimated this fat Japanese man. The dude almost had my head cut off.”
Hinata was done cleaning the wound, then she took out a bandage and started wrapping it around his stomach to cover the wound.
“All done,” Hinata said as she finished wrapping the bandage around his stomach.
“Thanks.” Alfred said.
Hinata had a surprised look on her face when she heard Alfred say ‘thank you’.
“What’s up with the look on your face?” Alfred asked with a raised brow.
Hinata chuckled, “You’ve never said the word ‘thank you’ before.”
Alfred smirked and he said nothing in surprise.
“I’ll be on my way.” Hinata said after arranging her stuffs inside the briefcase, then she stood up.
“Alright.” Alfred replied, then Hinata bowed slightly and she walked out of the room.
Immediately the door shut close, Alfred stood up and he took off both his trousers and underpants, then he tied a towel around hus waist.
Alfred heard the bathroom’s door opening, and he glanced at the direction to see Theresa stepping out of the bathroom.
His dark lustful eyes had a cursory tour of her body before he walked five steps to her. His d*ck swelled hard instantly and a wave of lust rushed through his body.
