Chapter 61: 061

JONAS

My turn.

It’s definitely my turn to get this.

This has been like a chant in my head every time I open my eyes to the brightness of the day.

I have worked for the Gold family for over 15 years now and all I have to keep doing is working???

Working like I am some slave they could boss around??

“Oh never!” I uttered to myself.

“I am gonna get everything I want. I no longer trust that dickhead Greg..”

“Before he doubles against me, I would have crushed him. I know his wicked plans and I am going to show him that I am way smarter than he thinks.”

Hopefully this lady falls for the trick..then I will be so made.

“Imagine having that amount of money in my account, ooh…that will be the height of it. I'm definitely pulling out of this whole thing once it clicks!!”

“I get the money and run!”

“What happens after is none of my business. I'm just tired of being the and working round for this rich ass souls…Since Greg is taking forever to get into the company, it was only wise that I do it myself!!”

This had to be the umpteenth drink I was glowing for the day. I had totally lost count.

“Hey Jonas, you are still here???” The voice of Sharon, the lady bartender came from behind.

Oops. Not only did I lose count of the drinks but also time!!

My eyes darted around the bar only to discover I was practically the only one left.

“Hold on….everyone is gone?” I asked, my face dashing with hints of surprise.

“Come on, Jonas. What has become of you? Are you trying to tell me you didn't know when the bar was closed? The guys were literally shouting your name but I just thought you didn't want to answer,” she said.

Damn! Fucking old age.

I couldn't remember being called by anybody.

“Hmmmm….so you were lost in thought? What the heck are you thinking about Jonas??” Sharon asked.

She was my friend from way back and it was even beyond that. She taught me a lot of things like how to steal information and since then I've been a pro.

“It’s that other thing, Sharon. I'm having a tough time getting it,” I voiced out.

She smirked and gave me this obnoxious look.

“Wait, is it the same one you told me about? About the Gold family? I thought you were done with those people, Jonas. What business do you have with them again??”

“Done? Oh no. I have a lot to settle with them and I'm not letting go till I get it, Sharon,” I objected.

“You know this stuff ain't gonna work, right? You can't rip them off. It doesn't work for everyone, Jonas,” she blurted.

I wasn't willing to listen….I was in for it. I have worked my years serving the Gold family and I am just supposed to leave like that without having nothing?

Oh, that would be the stupidest thing to do in this case!!

The voice in my head argued and ranted back and forth.

“Sharon…I need a full bottle please” I said, ignoring her words.

She flipped the bottle as usual and it landed right in front of me, “How long are you here for cause I will be closing up soon?” She asked.

“Just an hour and I'd be out of here,” I said as I poured the Lager beer in the round glass cup sitting before my weary eyes.

“It's hard for me to overlook you in this situation. Just tell me you are making headway in this already, old dude….” she teased.

“Now you are talking. This is how I know you are with me not those crazy ass talks you saying before now…you see…I am onto something right now…I was trying to get the uncle to do my bidding but looks like that dude is just a loser…..”

“.....and I was only wasting my precious time with him. I found my way to the main gold bag, Steven, but it's difficult to get around his thick brain also so I made a quiet discovery!!”

“Hmm…and what's that?” She pulled up a chair and sat close to him with curiosity all over her face.

“You see, I found out the son has a mistress outside his home and the bitch is even pregnant with his baby. I know her desires and like you taught, I am using those desires against her. She does what I want, she gets what she wants,” I explained to Sharon.

“Hmmmm…..” she sighed.

“Why that look? Did I go about it wrongly? You will be shocked what's gonna come out of it”

“It’s okay and do you trust this girl to do everything you asked her to do?”

“I don't have to trust her, Sharon. She has no damn choice. She has to do it cause only I can help her get what she wants. I'm sure she is thinking about it as we speak. I'm just waiting for her to make the call…” I answered in a sharp tone, my face blooming with a smile to the side of my face.

I was damn certain Katherina would put a call through. The conditions were plain and enticing enough. I could see it in her eyes how badly she wants it.

That was my cue.

“I really think you should pull out, Jonas. I see no result coming out of this to be honest…” she spoke bluntly.

“Pfff…..just watch and see,” I answered.

“It’s not about that, Jonas. You should have just given up on the whole thing. Ray Gold paid you for your service when you worked for him. The Gold family are not owing you anything,” Sharon said.

I raised my eyebrows. “Are you converted or something? Why are you talking like that? Please spare me the preaching. It's the least I expect from you, Sharon.”

“If its a goddamn joke then you better stop it. It ain't funny. I'm talking real business here!”

She looked at me and shook her head.

“I'm sorry but I warned you…”

Uhn?

I turned back and my eyes met with this strange man with dark shades on and a brown coat looking like old school junkie.

“Who the fuck is this, Sharon?”

“This is Kross…my boyfriend…and he is here for you,” she said.

“What did you say?”

Gunshots.

Poof!!
