Chapter 11
KAITLIN
We remained in Russia for around 3 days and I would say that I enjoyed myself. I was escorted to go shopping and also tour other locations that I didn't know about. Thorne was taking me to such areas and he said“You can't leave without a good experience” and I had a good one for a brief period like this. Now we are back home and everything is going nicely. I would not complain at all. We are in the car on our way back home to his place. I am next to him as he is working on his phone. He has been using it most of the time we have been to Russia and going out as well. We go to the gate and it opens and the car drives in followed by others who have the other guards. He gets out and shoves his phone in his jacket pocket he approaches my side lets go of his hand and I get out of the car as he locks the door behind me. The baggage is taken care of already as we step into the house. We meet one of the assistants.
“Mr. Nathaniel, Mrs. Kaitlin ”, she says.
“Did Ryan come here?”
“Yes sir”
“Okay, I don't want any visitors today. I want to spend time with my wife”, I look at him.
Did he just call me his wife?
“Yes sir”, the assistant and he leads us up the stairs and we walk to the bedroom. I swallow as we walk inside.
“Are we going to have sex?”, I ask as soon as we are inside.
“No”, I breathe out a bit.
“I just want to rest while holding you”, he adds.
Oh okay. We went and changed in the closet and then headed to bed. He climbs on the bed and sleeps on his back. He always sleeps on his back then he places me on his chest that moment.
I was going to enjoy breakfast alone from what I have collected this morning that Thorne has departed early today. The assistants came and poured the warm Lemon water in front of me and I dipped my hands within and started washing them before they took the water away and started serving out for me what I liked.
“Is there something planned today?”, I inquire.
Usually, there is something scheduled for me for the day to take my mind off things. It was taught by the guy who is above us all at the moment. The assistant gets done with dishing up for me and stares at me.
“Yes, Mam. There is a lunch meeting but you will be going with Mr. Nathaniel ”, she says.
“Oh, thank you.”, she goes off.
I wanted to inquire more but I have noticed that folks from here don't talk even a word about the man. Nothing at all even when you ask respectfully they simply remain silent and ignore you like you didn't say anything.
I started eating my meal and I still to this day couldn't get used to the notion that I can have so much food that I like for breakfast. The helper won't steal some doughnuts for me today as there is this lunch stuff. I am simply wondering where this dude disappeared. I look around the dining area and there is a helper and Guard near the far corner. At first, it was unpleasant to eat in front of them but I am slowly accustomed to them being there and seeing me eat but I still have that sense of feeling uncomfortable around them. As I am eating a servant does towards me holdings home phone I didn't know about.
“Mam, Mr. Nathaniel wants to speak to you”, she says.
“Oh where?”, she gives the phone to me and I place it on my ear.
“Hello”
“What are you doing?”, he heaved a sigh thereafter.
“I am having breakfast”, there was stillness between us but I could hear his breathing noises.
He remains silent for a bit and I do the same.
‘“Are you still there?”, I ask and the connection goes dead.
He has hung up. I groan and set the phone on the coffee table. He could've said goodbye when he wanted to go and not do what he did. I go on eating until I am pleased and then I get up from the dining table and walk off.
NATHANIEL
I was in the car immediately outside Henry's building. I recall the first day he joined us while under Frank before I took over. This restaurant has been one of the locations that draws money into the ring but now it needs to disappear and I am sure of it. The automobile is at a distance thus I am monitoring the building from there. There is a knock on my window and I roll it down. It's Ryan, he has been trying to get me to believe otherwise but at the time I don't care. I want everything done my way.
“Are you sure about this?”
“I am sure. There are several money mainstreams we have”
“She is not the only girl that has been there and not the last one”, I tilt my head and stare at him.
“Make sure to bomb the place. I want it gone” “But boss...”
“Now Ryan!”, I feel my fury emerging.
“Yes boss”, he moves from my window and it rolls up.
I breathe in and out and sit there in the backseat pleasantly for a few minutes.
“Drive”, I advise and the driver turns on the ignition before driving off.
I want that building gone. I won't rest till it is gone. It is the only one and if I lose a few bucks it is okay. It is my place and Henry has no say over it.
I gaze out the window and some part of me dislikes this. It hasty that I am doing all of this for a woman. A woman! I don't feel well with that, some part of me. Some part of me is asking herself why her. Why would I do this for her? She is a fucken 20-year-old! I sigh and close my eyes for a bit as portions of me are battling themselves about this decision. A determination that it is appropriate to lose money like way for a lady. I have already lost some though it never harmed my pocket when I got her from Henry's hands but this is a loss. Not a large one but one. That club only was attended by normal individuals. People who didn't have that much money tossed their $10 on the females who were stripping for them and paid cheap cash only to have sex with them. Just thinking about Kaitlin and the club makes me feel irritated for a time. I hope Ryan doesn't defy me at all with my decision.
NARRATED
Ryan stood in front of the soldiers as they surrounded the building. They weren't much as they wanted to go undetected but he didn't like the decision his employer was taking. He felt that it was unreasonable and should be thought out. He was blasting the mouth that feeds him at the time.
“Let's go in”, Ryan says as they make their way into the club.
