Chapter 9_ A pleasant visit 1

Lycan's underworld base.

lycan sat still staring into space, he continued tapping his fingers on his throne like chair in a particular tune.

A man with a dragon tattoo at the back of his neck came in bowing to the man in front of him." boss we have viper and his men" the man announced and lycan stopped tapping the chair.

He let out an evil grin "bring them in" lycan ordered.

In a few minutes the sounds of pleas and cries were heard as lycan's men brought viper and his men inside.

Viper met lycan's viscous and deadly gaze, he couldn't believe how he lycan found him, it seems there was a mole in his group because the location they were hiding was secluded.

lycan sat up, his hands weighing each guns and pistol. viper knew lycan won't spare him and his men.

"lycan we are sorry, the goods were damaged in the sea, it wasn't our fault" viper tried to justify himself which lycan wasn't buying a bit.

"then why did you go into hiding?" lycan demanded, and snort after finding a suitable gun.

"lycan we were scared for our lives" viper replied immediately, this was the worst situation he has ever found himself in.

Lycan corked the gun, viper and his men pleaded for their lives to be spared which fell on deaf ears.

Loud shots roared in the air as viper and his men dropped dead one after the other, lycan made sure to release at least three bullets in each of them.

Nobody doublecross me and go Scot free."dispose of their bodies into the furnace, I want them to experience death for the second time before they go to hell" lycan smirked.

lycan checked his wrist watch for time, he will have to go to his ancestral home for the weekend.

Not that he wanted to go but that is the stupid tradition, now he will have to witness his family's drama.

There's always a drama whenever all the Wilson's meet under one roof. his family is very messed up, everyone of them are obsessed with power and wealth.

He knew how many people wanted old Wilson dead in his family, but old Wilson is a strong man.

He has been poisoned on multiple occasions that his system has become immune to poison.

Lyra stared out of the window taking in the cityscape from her room. she turned for a brief moment before facing out again.

Racheal woke up a while ago from her nightmares, right now she is sound asleep again after lyra humed her favorite lullaby.

She didn't know what to do now her life has taken a new turn that she didn't expect, everything was going fine for them before.

She drew out a cigarette, lighted it and took in a deep drag, wondering where to start from.

After a few minutes of deep thinking, she grabbed her jacket and headed out.

She walked on the empty streets heading to the nearest bar she could find, her phone beeped she checked the message, it was an unknown number.

She wasn't in the mood to answer any calls or messages so she switched off her phone placing it in her Pocket.

She stopped on her tracks when she felt someone tailing after her."who's there?" she questioned as her eyes darted around.

lyra sighed giving up the thought of going to a bar, what if she gets drunk who will help her go home.

She turned around but was frightened when she saw who stood behind her.

"what are you doing here?" she questioned.

At a bar

Brian watched lyra empty more glasses of whiskey, he held her arm when she was about to take another glass, "don't you think you are killing yourself all because of a guy?" Brian muttered which left lyra laughing.

"Believe me when I say that I'm completely over him" she replied.

Brian was about to come to her house earlier, but he was surprised to see her on the street in the middle of the night.

He had just finished lycan's task when he decided to meet her, he wanted to tell her about his offer.

"lyra actually I was on my way to your apartment when I saw you on the road, I have an offer for you, so tomorrow you'll meet me at this address and don't say no" he handed a note to her.

lyra stared puzzled at the note, and met his gaze ."why are you helping me?, don't think I will become your girlfriend after this" she commented and left the bar leaving Brian with a big question mark hanging on his head.

On Saturday morning, lyra and Racheal set out to jog. after covering a distance they stopped at the roadside to catch their breathe.

Lyra gulped down some water, they were both sweating and panting.

"I'm going out today, someone invited me over for lunch" Racheal said still panting.

"that's good, I also have to meet someone today" lyra commented, at least now Racheal won't be left alone at home crying her eyes out.

"you don't go out on Saturdays, and who invited you over for lunch" lyra asked.

Racheal thought of a suitable lie to tell, if lyra found out she was going to meet a stranger she might stop her from going. "oh..well Marcus invited me for lunch" Racheal lied.

lyra gave her a nod before they started jogging again.
