I see the heavens
Silence…It's the fastest way to destroy a man. “You have lost your chances at doing business with me… you had he guts to ruin my event!” The words kept replaying in his head as he stared into his phone.Teare rolled down his eyes, the bottle of whiskey by hisnside calling his name.“I will cut you into various pieces, boy. I will serve you your balls, fried in a sandwich… I will have your head served as a gift to your wife… I will crumble your empire even after you're gone. I'll make sure nothing is left of you, not even a legacy…” this was the silent noise that rang always in his head.The kind of silence that was calm, but the noise that came with it, could choke a man to death even before the main deal.The whiskey kept on whispering—Lucas… it's gonna be alright… just take a sip and forget about everything.His mind was a total mess, puzzled about everything. He remembered the brilliance that once filled his soul. A creative mind with endless ideas and beautiful thoughts. Now, he
His execution
It seemed like something flipped in his senses.This was not time for games, the clock endlessly ticked gently in his head, sending shivers down his spine. He looked closely, a deep breath of relief escaped his breath.‘Thank God…’“Thanks Roxanne, but I'll have to go now…” he yanked himself off her and dashed off into the garage. His new engine beeped softly as his fingers punched the keys, the door opened up by itself.The car showed nothing by wealth and power. The sleek lines defined the beauty of the powerful beast that drove speedily on the road, humming softly and moving with style. This was a real class… Armando really meant his words and he knew his onions. Lucas on the other hand was drenched in sweat, his eyes reddened as he drove into the distance. The slightest noise he heard from his phone would make his heart skip. Fear enveloped the poor soul and his body itched him so badly, but he couldn't help it. It felt like the air conditioner was sending in hot air. But that w

“Now you listen to me carefully boy,” the deep voice bellowed over the phone, disturbing the quiet of the morning.“You have today to prove yourself once again. This is your last chance. If you mess this up, I'll kill you myself. You've not seen before, but I promise you, if you mess this up, you'll see the real me boy…” he warned.Lucas was pale and shivering like a two year old. His heart leapt out of his chest, but he held it back, his arms crossed over and tucked into his side.The scary phone laid on the table and he sat close, his ears concentrated on the details. It was clear this time, one wrong move and he's dead… No more games.“You will be at Armando's gala tonight. You're going to explain to him that what happened was not true, just the same way you told me. If he doesn't believe you, then you're done for…”“Please, I told you before… it's not true…”“You'll have to explain to him then…” he scoffed.Beads of sweat rolled down his tired head as he sat on the bed, his ass u
The meeting tomorrow
His heart pounded heavily in the darkness as he stood right there, unable to even take a step forward. However, he knew Armando would have something planned for him and so, he rushed into the car…The moment he slot in the key into the car, something came on. A small metallic material with a circuit, a timer and a red blinking light.“Not again!” He cried. He still hadn't responded to the call yet.He tried to force the door open but the car has automatically locked.“Shit!”He forced a big lump down his throat and finally picked the call.“Well, well, well…” the voice mocked. It was definitely Armando's brother and he still didn't know his name. That brother was not always on the limelight, but more like controlled the Tucker empire in the shadows.“I'm not sure you really heard me clearly the last time we spoke, senor…”Lucas' heart almost leaped out of his chest but he held it back in with a firm grip on his chest. Beads of sweat rolled down his head and he struggled to breathe as
All over the news
The next day, while he was preparing to head out, his phone endlessly pinged with messages.He didn't have to check, he knew he was trending again. Definitely in a bad way…His telephone blared sharply and he rushed to the call.“Lucas, what is this I'm seeing?” The voice was sharp and chaotic.“Ehm, what did you see?” He didn't have to ask who it was… the voice was still fresh and familiar in his head—Ella.“Turn on your television…”He quickly grabbed the remote and the moment the television came on, he smiled warmly at the beautiful media report that was going on.“What a beautiful tagline,” he smiled.LUCAS' COMPANY ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPTCY…“Tell me it's not true…” she panicked, but Lucas was rather calm.“It's true, but it's been sorted out. The stocks must have dropped again…”“Please, do something about it…”Thereafter, they exchanged pleasantries and he dropped the call.Damn!He wasn't surprised, maybe he just felt downcast or sarcastic. The look on his face was unreadable
Don’t interfere in my business
“We're not going to do business with Arcane anymore. Call Armando Tucker, we're partnering with him!”That was the first word that left his lips after a long while of being out of action. Weeks had passed and he was still healing, but today, Lucas up and kicking again and ready to get back in the game.Besides, his system task only 1 week to be completed.“Sir, we can't do business with Armando, you know he's a drug dealer…”“Shut the fuck up and make the damn call…” he slammed coldly at Brenda and slammed the telephone.His heart swelled with pain as he stood up and enjoyed the awesome scent of the morning lilies, his eyes shone brightly at the glowing petals, a view he hd missed for a while.However, his eyebrows raised suddenly and he quickly grabbed his phone, more like he just had a premonition.His fingers tapped softly against the screen and the beeping sound of the call echoed in the room.“Derek…” he returned back to the cold and oppressive Lucas with his intimidating voice.
