63: Johnson Brentford's O'clock
He indulged Achilles further. The faint smile wavering from his face:“Why wouldn't he or anyone suspect me after I spilled those empty threats to his face after losing the party primaries to him?”“Also, through Lucia's persistent advice, I tried to infiltrate his political circle to discredit him, but it didn't work. That was when I pulled out of politics and ventured into the Oil enterprise.”Once again, Lucia's name had been mentioned, and it did come with all shades of evil. Her role has been to keep the blood brothers apart making sure they didn't heal their decaying brotherhood.Mr. Montoya couldn't hold his emotions anymore. Gradually his eyelids glistened with tears. Achilles gave him a while to sniff out mucus from his nostrils.Smacking his forehead in regret, he spilled more words, “Despite feeling betrayed by him after he declared his ambition to contest for Prime Minister, why should I fault him for nursing the same political ambition as me? There are ways I should have
62: Montoya's Regrets
Mr. Montoya sniggered in self-realization while scratching his hair in an awakening state. His expected meeting with the mysterious masked hoodie-dressed man had pinched him back to reality.He couldn't deny Achilles' assertion about Lucia playing him all along. The warlord's keen explanation so far had shed more light on him being a pawn.Mr. Montoya went silent almost immediately after his last words, sucking his teeth on how he had been blinded by Lucia's seductive charm all these years.The scales had finally fallen off his eyes and thanks to Achilles for that.Mr. Montoya started overthinking and wondered if she was responsible for his first wife's tragic death given the fact she knew things about her before sneaking her way into his path.Achilles had similar thoughts that wavered through his mind. Still, he assumed Mr. Montoya's first wife's death could be natural, but represented a golden opportunity for Lucia's deceitful quest into his life.Mr. Montoya stroked his beard with
61: Friends With The Devil?
“Heaven wasn't whispering anything, Mr. Montoya. You have been played. All these long years you've been a pawn in her game. You might want to protest against my words but think deeper about it.”Mr. Montoya's forehead dripped with veins as Achilles' distorted words formed a voice in his head.“Whosoever Amanda or Lucia is. She knew your late wife before her demise or did her due diligence about her. The fact that she shared certain similarities with her showed it was intentional to steal your attention.”Mr. Montoya's eyelids blinked with a growing ponder. He was fighting so hard to wave off the possibility that he had been played by his so-called second wife.“She wouldn't want to chase after you like every other woman did even before you lost your wife. She wanted to change that precedent and have you do the chasing instead, with the hope of still finding your dead wife in her.”“The more you desired her, the more you discovered similar shared hobbies as your late wife, and hence wa
60: Lucia Or Amanda?
Achilles moved his tongue for words but halfway zipped back his lips. An impulsive feeling whispered to him to stay silent and pay further attention to Mr. Montoya.Silence crept into their midst with their heart yearning for the right words to spill next.So far Achilles had encountered an unassuming different personality from what he had envisaged after his delicate conversation with the Prime Minister.On the other hand, Mr. Montoya continually glanced through the captured photos tossed by the unknown figure before his face.The clock kept ticking; in less than one hour and thirty minutes, the driver should have awakened.The warlord tactically induced him to unconsciousness by having a grip on his neck, but still drugged him to sleep deeper so he'd have enough private time with him.Mr. Montoya cleared his throat, a signal that he'd have to pour out his mind. His eyes darted with growing confusion as he kept staring at the captured photographs in gripping disbelief.His tongue was
59: Who Really Is Lucia?
Mr. Montoya swallowed hard once more. He knew that whoever the strange person was, he must have done his due diligence and tailed him for a while to know he'd be attending a meeting at The Prime Intercontinental Suite.Truly, Achilles had tracked him from the shadows after his last conversation with the Prime Minister when he spilled what prompted the party power tussle.He had been waiting for the right time to have that pending conversation with Mr. Montoya and the time had finally come after Anthony Jardon’s life was almost cut short.Achilles’ cheeks still exude a mysterious beam while waiting for him to respond.A knot formed in Mr. Montoya’s throat as the clock ticked, and more hot sweat kept making waves on his forehead.His head plunged with diverse thoughts on how to handle the unknown man glaring deep into his face.It was looking like Achilles was five steps ahead of him and already had a weird influence over him which he'd use to his advantage.With a cracked voice, he res
58: Nice To Finally Meet You
The ticking clock gradually fell into the nightfall in Liverpool. An elderly man in his early sixties walked into a Bentley Flying Spur at the garage.He exhaled with a gasp, yawned while stroking his gray beard. He had just finished a two-hour executive meeting in the Prime Intercontinental Suite, and everything about his facial gestures screamed exhaustion.From the backseat he snapped his right finger and mouthed, his voice barely above a whisper. “Alright, drive me home.”Drawing a deep breath. “I had already informed Mr. Julius that I won't make it to his daughter's twentieth birthday anniversary tonight. I hope he understands.”The personnel on the wheel nodded, which was unusual for his driver to respond non-verbally whenever he talked to him.The elderly man flashed a suspicious stare across the front seat trying to catch a glimmer of who had infiltrated his car.On discovering his driver was unconscious, slid beneath the right front seat— the reality hit him loud and clear.W
