“I entered an alliance with Lukas,” He revealed.
“You did what?!” One couldn’t tell whether it was shock or fury that appeared on Big Joe’s face as he jumped down from his large exquisitely designed throne.
“Lukas was in search of Rhea as well and I combined resources with him to widen the scope of our inquiry. He claimed that he needed Rhea for a piece of essential information and once he was done with her, he would hand her over to -“
Kenith didn’t even finish the rest of his statement as Big Joe shouted, “You fool! “
Before Kenith could even access the situation, Big Joe had already climbed down the stairs and kicked him straight in the thighs.
Although Big Joe was a short man, his body was as mature as an average adult man and the pains that shot through Kenith’s body made him hiss out. It hurt like hell.
“You made such important decisions without my approval?!” Big Joe growled at him.
“You were the one who said -!”
A strike on the face stunned Kenith and he looked up in shock just as Big Joe announced, “Watch the way you speak to me, Kenith! Just because you’re the best of my men doesn’t mean you’re not irreplaceable!”
It was a single warning and Kenith stood down at once. He had been so angry that he didn’t realize he had raised his voice against his boss.
His pride and reluctance to serve Big Joe anymore clouded his mind and almost ruined his plans. It was worse that his relationship with Big Joe was already on shaky grounds and if he sensed any hint of rebellion in him, the man would surely put him down.
Realizing his mistake, Kenith bowed his head and began to kowtow repeatedly, “I’m sorry boss, I didn’t mean to yell at you,” He apologized sincerely – he had to if he wanted to preserve his place.
Big Joe didn’t say a word neither did Kenith stop kowtowing until the skin there broke and his forehead began to bleed.
In a place like this, sympathy was a fool’s hope. If Big Joe had sympathy on every single debtor that came through his door with his pity story, would his business boom?
Nope.
Business was business.
“Stand up,” Big Joe finally said after a while of watching him suffer and Kenith obeyed him.
He stood to his feet without even wiping off the blood that trailed down his forehead down to his nose.
He stood taller than Big Joe in this position but Kenith didn’t dare let a hint of contempt or resentment appear in his gaze knowing that Big Joe was staring intensely at him and studying his reaction. Big Joe hated people looking down on him because of his height.
“You would go back to Lukas and if he has Rhea, you bring her here.”
“But -“
Big Joe hissed at him in a warning.
“I don’t care how you do it but you bring me my wife and may God help you if I find a hair on her head missing, you would have me to face,” He warned him.
“Yes boss,” Kenith simply said.
“You can leave now,” Big Joe dismissed him with his back turned to him.
“Thank you, boss,” Kenith walked out of the hall without looking in the direction of his subordinates that saw his humiliation. It was a reminder to him that if he doesn’t play his cards well, one of them might take his place before his plan comes to fruition.
Kenith didn’t leave immediately to Lukas’s place, rather he went to his office where Cassy was already waiting with first aid.
So she heard.
“My God,” Cassy gasped when she saw the blood running down his face and ran to him.
“He might as well have killed you,” she whispered with a pained look in her gaze. She didn’t like seeing him in pain.
“It doesn’t hurt as much as it looks,” He tried to calm her.
“Shut up!” Cassy scolded him before leading him to the desk where she made him sit.
Cassy wrung the water out of the cloth she came with and began to wipe the blood from his face and into the basin on his desk.
“It’s Rhea’s fault, isn’t it?” She pushed the blame on her.
“Big Joe only wants me to find his wife,” Kenith said.
“You’re defending her again,” she hissed.
“Seriously, Cassy, how many times would we have this conversation? What would I do to assure you that I love you and no one else?” He asked, looking her straight in the eyes trying to convey his feelings.
He must be a fool to think that the feelings he had for Cassy could compare to his lust for Rhea. The redhead was suitable to fill his dick but Cassy was the woman he would make his wife.
After a moment of tense silence, Cassy let go of the subject yet she still asked, “How are you going to get her back when you don’t even know if Lukas has her,”
Kenith sighed, “I honestly don’t know. I know I should have listened to my guts when it said not to trust…..” He trailed off when his phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket only to discover it was Lukas’s consigliere calling.
His heart skipped a beat immediately, Kenith hoped it was good news.
Her back arched off the bed, a stifled moan on her lips as he used his tongue to stroke up and down her clit. Rhea’s breathing deepened and she panted as he increased the pace of his tongue and just when she was close to coming, he stopped.
Frustrated and angry couldn’t describe how she felt when she couldn’t get off and the culprit responsible for it lifted his head from between her legs, his lips kinked to the side.
That devil, Lukas.
“You!” She glared at him just as Lukas hovered over her, covering and pressing down on her body with his.
Lukas chuckled, “Thought you didn’t want it but here you are, craving me,” He smirked, beginning to kiss her neck.
Rhea threw her head back, giving him more access to her neck as she sighed in contentment. Lukas would be the death of her. She was still enjoying the pleasure he was giving her when the door to the room was suddenly kicked open with a bang and the both of them broke apart at once.
Rhea screamed at the shock of being discovered being in an intimate position with Lukas by an outsider. However, that scream gurgled to a halt and gave way to bewilderment when she saw who was standing at the door unmoving.
“Elijah,” Rhea choked out when she saw his shocked expression. All blood drained from her face, this can’t be happening.
“N-no… E-Elijah…” She stammered, unable to make a comprehensible statement. She wanted to tell him that this was all a mistake and Lukas’s plan to pull them apart.
