The Return Of General Antonio

Chapter 002

The drive to YOLO club was silent, lots of thought going through Antonio's mind, he never believed Jennifer could do that to him, he got played totally. But now isn’t the time to dwell much on that, he just wanted to meet his beloved sister; kate.

The trademark multi-colored glow light of YOLO club illuminates the building with. Antonio stood at the entrance and a bouncer approached to stop him. “I need to see the manager”

The bouncer chuckled, seeing he’s a newbie “ we don’t do appointment”

Antonio wonders if the head of the Kingstonian club hasn’t sent messages to them regarding his arrival, no one would want to get in trouble with Antonio .

The guard stood firm standing on his decision

Antonio noticed the show was about to begin, he could not stay put and allow his sister to be presented as a stripper.

He pushed his way though and started moving, crossing the demarcated floor in six successive strides, right unto the stage.

And right there he sighted Kate, looking all innocent, confused, and uncomfortable . It's been eight years and she still maintains her looks with just minor changes.

A bodyguard tried to stop him, Antonio grabbed him by the collar, and with a swift move twisted his arm. “ I don’t want trouble, I know you’re doing your job, but that girl over there is coming with me” he paused, pointing to Kate.

Kate froze mid-step as the commotion erupt, looking back, her eyes locked onto him

“big brother?”

He climbed onto the stage, removed his coat and wrapped it around her trembling body. “its okay,” he said softly. “ I’m here finally and no one can mess with you anymore”

The moment of reunion was cut short when the manager rushed down to know what is going on

“Who dares disturb the peace at YOLO club, do you have a death wish?” Scott yelled ontop of his voice.

Antonio's bodyguard step forward to guide him, ready to break arm, but Antonio calm him down. He is doing everything to stay under the radar as much as possible so displaying core military strength fighting skill might give him away.

“Mr scott why don’t you check your phone” Antonio said

Mr scott cut in “you don’t tell me what to do!”

But his tone softened when he saw twelve missed calls on his phone, it was from the head of club houses in Kingstonian, and he already knew its trouble.

Before he could call back, there was an incoming call from the same number. He picked and get the yelling and scolding of his life.

His job is at risk unless the vvip in front of him forgives him.

The manager started wailing “please, I don’t know she was related to you, I was set up, I didn’t mean to mess with your family, it was that evil lady Jennifer , I’m sorry sir”

Then you should have thought about this before getting people here to come strip against their will, it is not about her status, nobody deserves to be treated this way!”

“ I know sir, I know please forgive me, just this once I will never try it again, I have family to feed please”

Antonio hesitate, unsure of what to do with him as he is not his major problem right now.

“I will do anything you want sir,” he muttered, with an attempt to convince him. “I would deal with that evil lady Jennifer, she wanted to strike a deal with me, I will make her suffer, let me redeem myself”

Antonio stared at him, seeing the fear and desperation to prove himself . “ just be a good human”

“Thank you sir, thank you” the manager bowed his head so low, forehead almost hit the floor.

Antonio guided Kate out of the YOLO club, sobbing, with mixed feelings. They entered a customized luxury limousine. Kate didn’t want to interrupt the happy moment by asking Antonio about the luxury display , confusion evident in her face.

“Are you okay?” Antonio asked gently

She nodded. “ I'm just confused and happy at the same time, I just didn’t expect to see you again because Jennifer told me you stopped sending money long ago. That you are probably dead”

Antonio lip pressed into a thin line “ that evil lady, she lied, made a fool of me and treated my family like thrash, I will never forgive her”

Kate wiped her tears, adjusted her seat as she remembered something. “You know who has helped me all these years? Meghan. She used to get me food discreetly, clothes and numerous pocket money despite struggling herself. She has no power to save me from Jennifer but she helped me secretly a lot of times.

Antonio's expression shifted “Meghan louisse?”

“Yes, she's working two tedious shifts, one at a subdivision of Sylvester's restaurant where she’s been treated like trash last I heard.

Antonio looked outside the window , his voice laced with anticipation. “where?’

“crystalway, central kingstonian. She’s doing double shift today”

“We’ll be there in fourteen minutes,” the driver spoke from the driver seat.

Antonio reflected on everything his sister just said as he sat back.

Meghan, an orphanage girl who was adopted by a caring family, it was obvious she likes Antonio from high school but they remain just friends because Jennifer was in the picture.

He remembered how she offered him monetary support back at the eastern border when he was still struggling to settle down, and when he finally made it they had lost contact. That is why he has returned to reward her as part of his mission. But now as he learnt of her situation, he is going all out for her.

Less than two minutes’ drive to crystalway, Antonio's phone beeps. It was a call from his PA; Benjamin. “ sir, I just compiled the information and sent it to your mail, you should check it out.”

Antonio rushed to his mail, and right there he found it, the day an important document about his father's company was leaked, the beginning of their downfall years ago. Followed by a familiar name that is likely involved. The name that triggers his emotions and made revenge a top priority for him, much more than it has ever been.
