Chapter 7 Payback

• KANAAN
• "Please I beg you! As soon as I have the money I'll pay you back!" Monroe begs "Fuck that shit!" Valente cussed and kicks Monroe's chest, he falls to the ground.
• I stand up from my chair, unsheathing my knife, I kneel before Monroe and hold his right hand squeezing his fingers.
• "You've owed this debt for two years Monroe, I've been very lenient, some would dare say kind. Two weeks ago, you held a ball for your daughters birthday and then flew your whole family out for a weekend in Paris" Monroe's eyes widened "You think I haven't been watching you? You steal from me in the name of saving your dying mother and I let you go" I run my hand through my hair. "You steal again and make me lose information that caused Don to break a deal I've worked on for over a year."
• "Fucking snitch" Valente cusses.
• I cut off his middle finger, he's screaming but it doesn't fazes me, I've shot a man who thought he could play me in cold blood, I'm just getting started on Monroe.
• "You made me loose profits so I had to create a contingency plan. I might be lenient Monroe but I've not gotten soft. Whatever nerve you've grown on you, I'm here to cut it off. I hope you said goodnight to your daughter" I say standing up "Plea-!" He begs but my bullet is already in his head.
• Valente passes me a handkerchief and I wipe the blood off my hands and throw it on his body and then walk out, Valente following behind. I know my men would clean up after. We leave the underground basement and appear in the living room.
• "So what are you doing tonight?" Valente asks as I sit on one of the couches. He wasn't just my right hand, Valente and I were best friends, we've known each other since our parents were running around making Venice their playground.
• "Work, I have some files I need to check over, One of our shipments is missing and I have-"
• "Do you ever do anything other than work?" Valente groans.
• I look at him annoyed, no one would ever dare to question me but Valente doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
• "Should I be frolicking around Venice?" I ask him, he's always bent on forcing me to go out.
• "I wouldn't say frolicking but you definitely can fuck around" he smirks "if you know what I'm saying"
• "For the fifth time in three days Valente, I am not interested."
• "You know, Dakar ladies are opening tonight, they haven't had an auction in two years! You could get yourself a nice little minx to relieve your hands"
• I look at him angry, he knows I've been celibate for a year and I refuse to believe he's heard me relieving myself, god's no.
• "Don't look at me like that" he laughed.Kamiko told me she could hear you all the way from the kitchen. If you're going to fuck your hands, atleast be silent so your housekeeper doesn't hear you bro!" He laughs loudly "You needed to see her face, she was like get your friend a girl"
• "Shut up" I throw my knife at him but he catches it mid air.
• "So just join me tonight, Dakari always turns up, girlies are fine" Valente says kicking my legs.
• "I'm gonna put that knife in your throat if you don't shut the fuck up" I threaten.
• "Bullshit" he laughs "Well your loss, I'm sure Carwyn's gonna snatch up some hot chick and not put his sexless frustration unto his innocent workers"
• "Don's attending the auction?" I ask "Yes, your one and only rival. Stupid son won't shut up about how he's buddies with Dakari and this year's auction has the baddest girls" Valente says "Why are you mad about that? We basically own Dakar ladies, we're just quiet about it" I remind him "Okay, I'll go"
• "No" Valente disagrees.
• "What you mean know?, you've been begging me for the last three minutes" I look at him like he's gone mad, he probably is.
• "Dakari has a no weapon's policy and everytime you and Carwyn see each other someone gets shot, last time was his fucking dog, he's still pissed about that. He literally killed all the dogs in his estate after what you did"
• I laugh "He's not my fault Carwyn Don, almighty leader of the Don clan acts out like a fucking child. I'm interested in going and there's nothing you can do about it. As for Dakars stupid policy, he's a dumb man if he thinks any of those men attending that fucking auction is harmless" I say standing up to leave the warehouse, it was already 12am and Dakari's auction usually starts at 10pm.
• "Why are you suddenly interested in going? Ready to break the celibacy nonsense?" Valente asks as we both enter the car, our drive starts leaving the driveway.
• "Theres this saying that goes keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer, I haven't heard anything from Don's gang in a week, no underground noise either but my shipment is missing and I'm pissed"
• The auction was already in full swing when we arrived. Dakari's men were surprised to see me by the looks on their faces, I rarely show up to these sorts of things, Valente is the outgoing one. I'm only ever concerned with business, this night was business too. We're directed to a table on the right and Valente orders for some drinks. I notice Don and his men are seated at the centre, his eyes are on me. I smirk. I notice other men seated around, some of them government officials or small fries trying to come into the game.
• "No fighting" Valente whispers besides me.
• "I just smiled at the man Valente, you're fussing over me like Kamiko does, take a drink" I pour him a glass and he rolls his eyes. A grown man rolling his eyes.
