Beauty and the Beast

Flares

Sidharth

I swung left and right, sweat trickled down the side of my face and down my exposed torso. The punching bag swung back and forth with each powerful hit I placed on it.

After a sleepless night filled with haunted memories, I retreated to the gym.

"Boss?" I heard vivek's voice, I looked towards gym's entry and saw vivek standing there.

"What?" I breath out.

"You have been down here since 5 am it's 7 am now you need to get ready for business" he says and I sigh unwrapping my hands.

"Call and tell Mr sharma at the construction company that I'll be a little bit late at the meeting for hotel extenstentions" I ordered vivek and he nod throwing me a towel and a bottle of water from the bench.

"Okay boss" he says walking out and I wipe the sweat off my face.

I head upstairs to my bedroom to get ready for today.

...

"So how long would you estimate it to take?" I ask Mr. Sharma looking at the floor plan to extend on one of my hotels.

"Probably 4-5 months" he says and I nod, "Okay, I'll be in contact" I said standing up, he nods thanking me with a handshake.

Business as usual, through out the day I usually work on the legal sides of my business but as soon as it turns 7 I switch to illegal, it's easy that way.

Tonight I have to meet shivam a man who's meant to be taking care of my club, flare. But last night there was a shooting at that exact location so I have to see if he's really the man who I want looking after my club, I don't like fuck ups.

So we are meeting at my most popular club dynamite. He's lucky, our lawyer took care of police and legal things concerning the shooting so it didn't get out but if people were to have gotten hurt or died, shivam would have been on that list.

I also want to see if shivam is doing his Job or slacking, I don't take slackers of traitors well. You do your job well or end up dead.

Either by me or someone not fond of me.

After a day full of work, I head to the club with my right hands and other men. "So what exactly are we going to do with shivam?" Parth asks on the way and I shrug.

"I want to hear him out first" I said fixing the cuffs on my suit, "damnn, I wanted to see some blood tonight" he smirks, and sanket chuckles

"Who said you wouldn't? And you will clean it as well"

"It will be worth it" parth said and I sigh, looking at the time it was 10 pm

"We're here on business, not to get trigger happy Little brother, there's no need to spill blood that doesn't need to be split. Jay, when we
get there I want you to grab shivam
and bring him to my office" I say and jay nods.

"Yes boss"

"Good, don't want anymore incidents
like a couple nights ago. I want you three with me," I say pointing to Sanket, advik and parth, "vivek and
Yash I want you outside the door Clear?" I ask and they all nod

"Yes"

"Good" I say

Loud music and flashing lights overwhelm my senses as my men and I enter the club.

I nod to my men and they spread out as some go to get shivam and take him to my office whereas vivek and yash stay with me for the time being.

Yash is a scary man, tall, well built and has the S symbol branded on his neck like all my men.
