Kapitel 23: chapter 23
Ailee was sitting in the lounge area of Xavier's office building waiting for him to come down.
"Hello! How may I help you?"
She got startled by the sudden appearance of a man.
"Nothing" she whispered and looked at the door in anticipation.
"Ma Sha Allah! your beauty is out of the world. May I have your name?" he said enthusiastically, not even noticing her uneasiness.
"Ailee" she said in low voice, averting her eyes from him and was about to leave when he spoke again.
"Very suiting. Can I have your number?" she wanted to go away. Its not that he looks like a creep, he looks pretty decent infact but he just caught her on a bad day.
"Yeah dial 911" came a voice from behind them.
"Zaii" she threw herself in his arms and he caught her humming in relief.
"Romano? she-she is Coco?"
He glared at Luka.
"About fucking time you realise it."
"Sorry bro I didn't know" he said raising his hands in surrender.
"I'll deal with you later."
"Zai it is alright really" she said cupping his face and making him look right at her.
Luka and Ailee were supposed to meet today at Xavier's place but he just ruined it all now.
"Now that you've met her, never bother me again" he said and left holding Ailee's hand.
Luka knew he was supposed to follow them because he was invited for the dinner as well. He has known Xavier all his life but the fucker never melts. Even if he says no to him, he ends up fulfilling his wishes anyway most of the time. Best friend things right there.
He shook his head and followed them.
They sat in Xavier's car with Ailee on the passenger seat and Luka in the back.
This time Luka made polite conversations to not make her uncomfortable and Ailee replied in her usual low voice.
They reached his place and got out. They ordered the food because his maid doesn't work here anymore as she shifted to another city and he was in no need of a new one because he is not at home often anyway.
Luka kept cracking jokes, making Ailee laugh every now and then. She was starting to warm up around him.
Xavier was feeling content from the inside. Two most important people in his life were sitting happily with him, laughing, talking and eating. Life isn't so bad, he thought.
They watched a movie together and then Luka left.
Xavier dropped her too after that, feeling like a burden has been lifted from his shoulders.
___
"Arey you sure?" Luka asked Xavier for the tenth time that day.
He just nodded.
"You know you're putting your life in danger right?"
"I know but I have to check what he is upto. He's been unusually quiet all these months, its unsettling."
"We are keeping tabs on him, it is all under our control." Luka held his hand stopping him in his tracks.
"Let go Luka." he said in a chilling voice that he was left with no choice but to free his hand.
"I will not be fighting back because I know he will spill something in his rage and when I signal you, you'll come in with the rest of the team. Till then it is just me and Enzo. Do not fuck up the plan."
He warned and left.
Luka was agitated at his friend's behaviour. He is so fucking stubborn.
___
Xavier walked into the room as if he owns the place and stopped right in front of his brother.
"Brother" He nodded in acknowledgement.
Igor gritted his teeth in anger towards his younger brother who was his arch nemesis.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing here?" he said in his thick Russian accent.
"Can't I pay a visit to my only blood relative alive." he said and paused
"Besides who knows for how long it will remain that way. Tomorrow I can be visiting your grave too." he added smirking.
"We'll see about that. Now spill what you came for"
"What's the rush? No coffee or alcohol?"
"For someone who is known to be a quiet and cold man, you sure as fuck talk a lot"
"Thank you and about my motive for being here, you are never getting your filthy hands on the coast side land."
Igor's eyes widened for a fraction of a second but it was enough for Xavier to know he hit the nail perfectly.
"How come you know about that?" He questioned skeptically.
Xavier laughed clapping his hands slowly.
"I really don't know where you get that dumbness from Igor. You thought you'll come and have a nice vacation in my territory and do whatever you want without me knowing?"
He gritted his teeth in anger "I will do what I want and that dumbness runs in the genes."
"You can not."
"I'll show you when I stand on it proudly with its official papers in my hands."
"How you gon' do that?"
"Found someone who can make it happen."
This piqued Xavier's interest. Who could that be?
"Who?" he asked successfully masking his curiosity.
"Some anonymous person who, for your information, already made you bite the dust in similar cases in the past."
Now it was Igor's turn to smirk.
Come to think of it there is actually someone who did that to him couple of times. Three years ago when he was 23 years old, someone managed to buy the land in the heart of the city before him but since he was more focused on his mafia business he let it go. Then again last year someone bought the little land he wished to buy for his vacation house in Italy. He tried to look for them but reached a dead end everytime.
He was being threatened. Alright bring it on, it's been a long time since he had a tough rival. His brother's a stupid case so he doesn't count.
"You know that it will not be repeated this time. I am in need of it more than anyone else."
"Oh your mama would be upset otherwise?" he mocked him.
Xavier wanted to punch his guts out but he is better than that.
"Do not bring her into this." he said calmly.
"You are the murderer of mine and I can't even talk about yours?" Igor said standing close to his face.
"I didn't do shit to Loraine"
"Do not lie every fucking time bastard!" he screamed.
"Oh the irony. YOU are the bastard here. Aren't you? Your mother knew my father was married yet she screwed him and had you, ruining the already fucked up relationship of my parents. Because of you he married your mother right after the death of mine and didn't even-"
Igor punched him in the face making his nose bleed immediately. He continuously hit him screaming incoherent sentences.
Enzo who was standing quietly watching the scene unfold, pulled out his gun and aimed at Igor while the guards of Igor did the same to them.
Xavier gestured him to lower the weapon and that he is fine. At first he was hesitant but then complied with the orders of his boss.
"You hit like a weak kid." Xavier said smiling and wiping the blood from his mouth, fuelling his anger even more.
"You fucking wait. I have paid them and they said it will be done in two months you fucker. Your mother's dream will never come true."
One of Igor's guard was about to smack him with a gun but Enzo caught him from behind on time and just then the doors slammed open and in came Luka with the rest of his security team.
They all pointed guns at each other while Xavier stood up slowly nodding towards Luka.
"Put your guns down. We're leaving."
he said and stopped infront of Igor.
"This isn't over yet." saying he wiped his bloody finger on his cheek and walked out with his men hot on his tail.
"You got anything?" Luka asked jogging up to him.
"Plenty" he said settling in his car and left.
