Chapter 51 051
UNCLE GREG

“Pffff…….”

“This is not good…..”

“What do I do? What if I was right and Jonas does know about the plans?”

“What if he ends up telling Steven about everything we ever did?” 

Gosh! I stomped my feet on the ground before that heavy knock hit my door.

“Could that be him?” I muttered.

I walked carefully to the door and opened the door slightly to see who it was..

My eyes almost popped out of its socket when I saw who it was

Salem….alive and healthy!

Looks like today is just full of shock and disappointments cause what the fuck is this?

Jonas also didn't do the job????!!! 

“I'm sure he told Salem instead that I sent him to beat him to a state of fatal injury…or something,” I thought in my head.

Salem walked in slowly, he kept staring at me like he was about to say something bitter to me.

I was ready, prepared for whatever shameful insults that would escape his lips to me.

“Go on, hit me! I know you have a lot to say already so just go ahead already….”

“Call me a fake old friend, an old cargo, do it…I am ready for all those words of yours,” I lashed out defensively before he could say a word.

He smirked and banged his hand on his forehead like he had no idea what I meant.

“What the heck are you talking about? Aren't we supposed to be patching things up??” he blurted out.

Uhn?

Was he joking? Or is he trying to test me to know If I would acknowledge or deny what I already know I did?

At this point, I was confused as to what was playing in front of me……”Salem, what is going on?” I asked to resolve my confused state of mind.

“What do you mean what is going on? We have both been avoiding each other since like forever….I never called or texted and you never did as well…after the crazy altercation that happened between us he other day, I just forgot completely about you…” he explained clearly.

He never mentioned Jonas or any harassment of any sort from anyone.

“This must mean……I am safe and Jonas never even carried out the task I gave him…” I said in my mind.

“This is getting more confusing. What is Jonas playing at?” I started to question myself.

“Is everything alright? You look troubled….and what was it you were talking about the other time?”

“Did you do something while I was away?” Salem asked.

A part of me felt stupid to have lashed out that quick. If I had my way, I would have snapped his neck right away but he was no longer a threat to me. The real threat now is that motherfucker, Jonas, trying to play two sides.

Not even two sides! That young man is trying to switch on me! 

“Greg, what is going on?” Salem's voice came at me once again.

“Nothing….but we might have a slight problem,” I said.

I had to just play the quick way out before Jonas get to him….”What problem? Please don't tell me you are still onto Steven handing over the company fully to you…”

“Please tell me you've have grown past all of that…” 

“Oh come on, don't come at me with those bullshit talks. I never even wanted you here in the first place, man,” the voice in my head muttered.

“Uhmmmm…..” I said out loud like I was trying to think.

“Are you still on that?” He reiterated.

“Of course not. This isn't about Steven or whatever he feels he is in control of,” I uttered.

“This is about the business and Jonas….” I added.

“I know about the business but what about Jonas? Did something happen to him?” Salem asked and it was through his ignorant expression I knew I was damn safe.

This was my chance to play whatever game I intend to.

“I don't think we can trust him anymore…he is planning something evil against everything.., against the business and even against you and I,” I said.

“Uhn….you mean the same Jonas who has been supportive and running the errands on our behalf? Why on earth would he do that?” 

“I don't know, Salem but it is no joke. You and I know he never actually liked you…” I spoke further.

“Wait, you say what? Why would you think like that? Jonas seems cool with me,” Salem objected.

I scoffed out loud….”Oh really, he does? Why else does he never want you around whenever he was coming?” 

“Or haven't you really thought about it? He was never here for too long once you are around as well….” I said.

I knew how words like that could get to Salem and how he could get him to start second guessing every single thing.

So it was the perfect thing to use against Jonas, at least enough to buy me time to decide what to do with him.

He squinted and placed his hands on his chin…..

“I'm damn serious. We need to find something to do about him….we need to stay away from him, Salem. He means no good….”

“We were just stupid to trust him that much…” I lashed out.

“But what did you find out, Greg? I feel there is more you aren't telling me..” he interrupted. 

“Well, yes there is….” I started.

“This might sound somehow but I have been thinking about what you said and I decided it was time to act like the grown man I am….you know…I went to the Gold Company to patch up things with Steven and bring close, like father to son type of thing..” I explained.

“Really? You actually did that? That's amazing, Greg. I'm glad you finally listened,” he said.

“In your damn dreams,” the voice in my head screamed.

“But I still don't get how Jonas comes into all of that, friend…”

“Oh, believe me, Salem..you won't believe it….I saw Jonas and he was spilling everything we were doing to Steven and even saying what we even did with the business…”

“He is turning my nephew against me. We need to take him out real quick!”
