âBut wait a minute, how did Jamal know that the governor wants to bring in his own boys?â Logan asked âthat is what I donât know, I mean honestly I think he is trying to communicate right now, I mean why is Jamal interested in the governor, how did he know that the governor wants to bring in his own boys, donât you think itâs suspicious that the governor is not taking personal guards from outside, why does he wants us in particular to be his personal guards until his boys arrive.
I donât know if am making sense right now but I think maybe Jamal and the governor know each other, so maybe Jamal knows that he canât get the governor while am with him and that is why he wants me to drop this job and also for the governor to make us his personal guards shows that he want full protection for himself. I donât know if am making sense but that is what I felt about the wh0le thingâ I explained to Logan âI really donât understand this, but I think if Jamal calls, you should tell him that you will only drop the governorâs job if only he tell you what is happening between the both of themâ Logan said âwhy are you sounding like you donât know that Jamal is definitely not going to fall for thatâ I replied âbut then you said Jamal is Zeenatâs ex, this is not going to be funâ Logan said to me âactually, I do not want to resign, but now I think I have a reason to do that right nowâ I said âwhat do you mean by that , Ryan I have told you not to think that wayâ Logan said âyou donât understand Logan, donât you think am about to lose Zeenat to him, I never created that time for her, she always want me around her but I didnât give her the chance. She once told me that she and her ex never broke up and they really loved each other and now they are together, what do you think is going to l happen to me? I just want to do anything to have my woman back, if itâs to quit this job then Iâll surely do it so Iâll get my woman back that allâ I said to him âare you scared that Zeenat might switch you?â Logan asked me âexactly, I know she loves me but anything can happen and Jamal can do anything just to make her switch the love she has for me to him so am really scared right now. Believe when I say so but then, I want to see that bastard barsâ.
Authorâs Povđ
Axel walked into Jamalâs room; he met him on his bed doing nothing. He walked to the couch and sat there, he looked at Jamal who was just staring and smiled at him âI guess you have heard about the latest newsâ Jamal said âwhat do you plan to do?â Axel asked âI still donât want to believe that Zeenat is Ryanâs girlfriend, I donât even know what to doâ Jamal replied ânow that she is with you, will you go to her or you will just let her be?â Axel asked âwhen I say am clueless, please believe me, I really donât know what to do, have you seen her?â Jamal asked âno, not yet but I will go check on her later, why donât you try and talk to her again?â Axel said âshe really thought I left her, why would I even do that?, I donât want to talk to her for nowâ Jamal replied âbut then I think she deserves and explanation and you should also try and calm her downâ Axel said softly âAxel she is now Ryanâs girlfriendâ Jamal suddenly said sadly âso what are you going to do, are you going to take her back right now?â Axel asked â I donât want to hurt her, I donât want to come in between them but then I really want to have her backâ Jamal said â I understand you, but I think you should allow things to flow by itself, donât put any pressure on her, I will ask you to call Ryan back because Earl told me that Badmus is going to a conference next week and Ryan must not be there, you can just leave him alone, donât tell him to reject Badmus offer, just let him beâ Axel said â Axel it is not going to work that way, am trying to save his ass cause those boys that are going to that operation are going to waste some lives that day and Ryan may try to save that bastard so itâs possible heâd also be wasted too.
Donât forget that itâs Maverick and Ivan that will lead those boys and these two dont like it when people get on their bad side so Maverick or Ivan can waste his live and I donât want that to happen.
I know Ryan always think of me as an enemy but that’s not me, I donât really hate him for anything, he is only doing his job so if I really hated him, I would have ended his life a long time ago but I am sure that he is waiting for that chance to end meâ Jamal said âso what deal do you have with him?â Axel asked âI told him to leave Badmus and I will return Zeenat and Kelvin to himâ Jamal replied âyou want to return Kelvin?â Axel suddenly asked while Jamal just smiled at him âwhat was that?â Jamal asked with a smile âwhat was what?â Axel returned the question âyou donât want me to return Kelvin? Have you been getting soft for him already?â Jamal asked âstop having weird thoughts; it is not what you thinkâ Axel replied âthen what is it?â Jamal asked âI asked the wrong questionâ Axel replied âoh! Wrong question..nice oneâ Jamal said to him while Axel stood up âI will go talk to Zeenatâ he said and left the room.
Jamal face and mood suddenly change at the mention of Zeenat. He laid down on his bed and covered himself with his blanket then he got lost in thought.
Zeenatâs Povđ
I still donât want to believe this, so itâs Jamal he has been after all these years, so Jamal is the mafia boss Ryan talks about , but I still donât know why heâs keeping me here and I really want to talk to Ryan.
There are many things I want to ask Jamal, why did he still keep up with this job, why did he move to this country and what happened to his parentâs? I really want to ask him all this.
âyes come inâ I said to whoever that was knocking the door, he walked in and I was surprised because it was Axel, are they still working together? I thought âAxel!â I called his name âhi Zeenatâ he replied âargh! You guys are making me crazy; please donât tell me you both are still working together all these yearsâ I said to him âcan I sit?â he asked me and that was when I realized that I should have asked him to sit first âsorry, please sit âI said to him and he did âhow are you?â he asked âdo I look like am ok? I want you guys to explain what exactly is going on right now, whatâs going on please?!â I said out of frustration
âZeenat you need to calm down, we are not doing anything wrongâ he said
âOh really! Then what am I doing here, why are you guys in Nigeria? Why are you both still doing this job? And I also heard that you guys have Kelvin with you, I want to see him right nowâ I said to him firmly âI donât even know how to answer you, your questions are not for me to answer but i can take you to Kelvin, i guess you know himâ he said âof course I do, he is Ryanâs boy and Ryan is my boyfriend, oh gosh! I shouldnât have said that, am sorryâ I quickly muttered âwhy are you sorry? itâs not like you and Jamal are still together, you are now dating Ryan so there is nothing to be sorry about but I want you to know one thing âhe never left you and you were always on his mind.
Let me take you to Kelvinâ he said to me.
I stood up, still trying to process what he just said to me âdid he really not leave me?â
âZeenat! Zeenat! He called me back from my thought âoh sorryâ I said quickly as I walked behind him.
We got to Kelvinâs door I realized he didnât want to knock on the door âis everything ok?â I asked âuh..uhm..Can you please knock on the door yourself, I have other things to do pleaseâ he said as he walked away âwhat was that?â I said to myself and that was when I thought to myself maybe Axel is having a crush on Kelvin or what.
I know every single thing about Axel; he doesnât talk much with people except me and Jamal, but his sâŹĂuality thoâŠ
So if he isnât crushing on Kelvin, why wouldnât he knock on the door? Iâll have to ask him that later I also wonder where this Jamal isâŠ
I knocked on Kelvinâs door, his eyes almost popped out as he slowly opened the door âZeenat!â he called my name âhiâ I said to him with a smile.
Jamalâs Povđ
Right now I just need fresh air, I want to finish this operation quickly and go back to where we came from, we all came here with one goal and that is to destroy Badmus’s family.
I donât just know where to start again from all this, the fact that Badmus is responsible for the death of Maverick, Ivan, Earl and my dadâs death.
He is a murderer, my dadâs death led to my mumâs death, knowing fully well that am the one who knows about the secret and I have the evidence with me, he sent his boys after me and Axel, we had to escape .
I never planned to take over this business, and I never planned to leave Zeenat. Nevertheless, Badmus is the cause of all this.
My dad, Maverickâs dad, Ivanâs dad and Earlâs dad were all business partners with Badmus.
but in the blink of an eye, he betrayed them and killed them all in a day, he even wanted to end me but before that, I was going to end him first before I put an end to his life, I will make sure he feels the same pain I felt for all these years, I will make sure to wipe out him and his family but he and his family went into hiding but he dared to destroy four families.
He thinks that the position he is now will save him? Hell no! because I will make sure he pays for all these.
I sat outside; watching the stars and it was really late in the night.
If not for the power, I know Ryan would have caught us, but all thanks to that man who gave me the power so I really want to win Badmus family without any regrets.
âJamalâ I turned to see who called me and it was Zeenat âare you drunk?â she asked as she sat beside me, taking away the bottle of beer from me.
I starred at her, with my eyes filled with passion. I honestly miss her, I miss this woman and I canât really help it â I missed you so muchâ I said to her even though I wasnât sure if it was the effect of the alcohol, but before I knew it I already held her wrist as I drew her closer, giving her a deep k-ss.
At first she tried to push me away but since I wasnât letting go, she then allowed me to do what I wanted.
I missed her and I canât help it; I k-ssed her more deeply as she respondedâŠ
