10 - Sirius Montemayor

Third Person's Point of View

Sirius' butler was restless while they headed to the jail. He has been serving Sirius for six years, and this is the first that this happened. Sirius will surely get angry once he sees him with his cousins. Because Sirius hates asking for help.

He doesn't want to be judged. One time, Sirius almost killed him because he said something to Sirius' parents. Sirius wants to live alone without asking for help from others, but Sirius can't do anything because his problem was too much. The company that he built may crumble.

“Can you tell us what happened?” Kaizer asked while Louis was busy with his phone. Because his mother always calls to say that he should go home and talk about the wedding. Louis wants to go home, but he can't yet. His cousin needs him now.

“This is what happened. I'm sorry for what I did earlier, but Sir Sirius' company was in trouble because a guy named Oliver exposed the illegal activities of my boss. The reason why stockholders didn't continue their share to the company. When I researched, I found out that they invested in Oliver's company, that's why my boss was sent to jail because he went bankrupt,” the butler sadly stated while wiping his tears. You can feel that he's loyal to Sirius.

“Why did that happen to Sirius? I know him, he's smarter than me. This is impossible,” Kaizer said. He reached for the tobacco behind and lifted it up using the lighter he always brings.

“Yes, he is smart, but a monkey can be fooled, too. There's a time that my boss got busy on Desire Island. He was addicted to sex at that time, that's why his title got higher in there. He entrusted the company to the person who brought him down. I hope he's going to be wiser now. And one more thing, if Sir Louis will not help him, his other companies in other countries will get involved, too, because this news will spread and the stockholders will lose their trust in Sir Sirius,” the butler seriously said. He's started to get angry with Oliver. Even though his boss has an attitude, he sees his other side that other people can't see because they always focus on his bad side.

If it's possible, he will not ask for Louis' help. He could've asked for the people who manage Sirius' companies in other countries. But it was hard because the traitor might have people in there who wanted to bring Sirius down. He had no choice but to go to his scary cousin. That was a scary step, but he's hoping for Louis to help Sirius.

“Sir Louis, looks like you're busy with your phone. This is the first time that I saw you like that. Maybe you're messaging one of your flings,” Powsh said, their driver today.

“Mind your own business, I'm talking to my mom,” Louis said, who was focused on the screen of his phone. Her mother sent him a video of Elaine baking.

The woman has another side and she looks comfortable with her parents. He hopes that his trust won't break, because if not, he'll not talk to her.

“Tss. And when did Louis Montemayor smile because of a woman baking?” Kaizer sarcastically asked, he was playing the glass of champagne in his hands because of irritation.

He was the first one to know about Elaine. He was the first one who loved her, but when Louis came, he couldn't go to Elaine because of Tito Izaak's plea that as much as possible, stay away from Louis' soon-to-be wife.

He can't understand Louis' father's decision, why they're taking care of Elaine. Elaine's not related to them. Not that he wants Elaine to suffer, but why are they treating her nicely when Elaine's parents have debt with them?

He sighed because of what he's thinking. Maybe Louis' parents wanted Louis to settle down with a woman. All of them were womanizers, except for his brother, Lucas. Because Lucas thinks that women are a pain in the head, and he doesn't need them for his investigations in some cases.

“Can you learn how to shut up, Kaizer? I will rip your mouth if you don't stop minding my business,” Louis said. The butler was heaving a sigh while looking at the two. They're like kids when fighting.

The ride to the police station didn't take long. When Sirius saw his butler with his cousins, he knew that his butler asked for help with his cousins.

“You didn't follow my orders. I said to call my lawyer Efren and not them,” Sirius angrily said. Because he hates it when someone he knows saw him inside a fucking jail.

“But, sir, we don't have enough money to pay for the lawyer. And besides, we need stockholders so your company will rise again,” his butler, Vren, said. Concern was evident in his voice. He didn't even think about the danger of Sirius' wrath. That Sirius might shoot him with a gun because of anger.

“Your butler was right except for one thing. Efren will never compensate money to Sirius because he is our family lawyer. And besides, he is our cousin, but the thing is, the man you want to call is in London with his girlfriend. You know, Valentine's day is near. I will help you, but I know you don't want to have any indulgence when I lend you my help. That's why you should pay it back once you get up,” Louis said seriously. Sirius was still angry because his pride was stepped on because of what his butler did.

Louis talked to the one who's managing there and ordered him to release Sirius. If they will not release him, they might as well dig their graves.

“Why would we release someone who does illegal activities? We have shreds of evidence. If you want, we can show them to you,” the police arrogantly said while sipping on his coffee. His uniform was bloated because of his bloated stomach. Louis just smiled at him.

Louis signaled Volstrige to call the head of this station.

“Boss, looks like our boss will not continue the shipment. Your staff was too stubborn,” he said. The man on the other line answered who seemed nervous about what Volstrige said.

This time, he put the call on loudspeaker so they would hear what their boss was saying. “If you want, you can kill them. Just don't stop the shipment,” the man on the line said. Based on his voice, he doesn't care about his staff, he cares more about Louis' trust in them.

“Hmm, what should I do with you? What do you think?” Louis sarcastically asked while playing his favorite pistol in his hands.

“Forgive me. You can kill me if that's what you want, but, please, not my family,” he begged. He was now kneeling. He was too arrogant earlier, now, he's like a meek sheep.

“Release Sirius now, I don't want to hear any nonsense from you. Next time, you should know the person you will respect and remember my name. Louis Montemayor,” he said. He sat on the chair, but this time, the men brought him coffee, while the arrogant man cleaned his shoes.

When they let go of Sirius, he punched the man who was cleaning his shoes. “Didn't you know my name, you fucking asshole? You dared to put me in jail,” Sirius said. His nerves in his temple were showing up, an indication that wants to kill the man in front of him.

Sirius strangled Vren when Louis stopped him. “Don't you dare stop me, Louis. I will not hesitate to kill you,” he warned. Louis only held his hand high and left.

He doesn't care about Sirius' moves. He knows him. Sirius doesn't know how to hold a gun and kill someone using his hand. He always uses people to do what he wants.

He just called Eros to say that he'll reserve Desire Island because he'll fix Sirius' company. The truth is, among all of their cousins, Sirius' father was more evil. Because their Uncle Liam didn't fail with something. The reason why Sirius grew up with a proud pride and dignity. He was not even allowed to go outside when he was five because he needs to learn about their business. And if their uncle finds out about this, he might kill his child.

Because what's more important is their pride in the business world.

“My insides almost flipped because of Sir Sirius. He's so scary when he's angry,” Brennon said who was following Louis.

“I thought that he'll choke his butler. But no. He just punched him. It's good that Sir Louis is our boss,” Brennon said while reaching for a cigarette in his pocket.

“What's good about it? Boss almost killed us every time we bothered him. Besides, that was only a punch. But when it comes to us? It's a gun. What the fuck is this life,” Volstrige said. Louis coughed who was behind them.

“Stupid, I can say that our boss is the kindest,” Volstrige said when he saw Louis' serious face.

“Yes, and he's handsome, plus he's good at handling a gun, right, Alex?” Brennon added while elbowing Alex to agree with them.

“What? What should I say?” Alex asked. They all slapped their forehead. He's too slow. Before they could even explain, they were punched by Louis.

“Asshole,” he said to them. They saw Sirius who was about to go out. He looks angry. He's with Kaizer.

“I will never be grateful for what you did, Louis. You should remember that,” he said. His butler ran to get Sirius' car.

“I know. By the way, I invested five billion in your company. We are now a business partner,” Louis answered. Sirius didn't answer, he just entered the car.

The butler exited the car and bowed while smiling to thank Louis. “Thank you so much. Don't worry, my boss is happy with your decision to invest in our company. Goodbye, Mr. Louis,” he politely said and entered the car.

“Boss, is it really okay to help Sir Sirius? He doesn't look happy with your help,” Brennon said while scratching his head. The truth is, this is the first time that someone answered Louis like that except for Kaizer because he's a close cousin of Louis.

“Stupid. Isn't it obvious? He's just like that. Montemayors are really weird,” Volstrige said. Kaizer and Louis answered.

“What did you say, stupid?”

“What did you say, dickhead?”

They both said. Volstrige laughed because his two cousins finally got along well. They're like a cat and a dog when fighting. They just don't want to be called with their race.

Volstrige's mocks were cut off when Louis' phone rang. He answered it.

“My son, you need to go home. Something bad happened to Elaine,” his mother said, panicking. Kaizer looked at him.

“What happened to Elaine?” he asked, but his mother dropped the call already, that's why he quickly went to his car. Before he could even leave, Kaizer went in, too.

“What happened to Elaine?” he asked him. He wasn't able to answer because even he didn't know what happened.

He's hoping for Elaine to be okay because if she's not, he doesn't know what he could do.
