His Confession

Chapter 20 Realization

As Alexa ate, all Ryan could think was how to keep her safe in other words how to keep Jhon away. But above all he realised that he started to fall for her. For God's sake he just met her 3 days he is already falling. If Roman finds out about this he will laugh his ass off. They ate in silence with Alexa making small conversations here and there.
" Okay. You people seem tired, how about we call it a day and retire for bed ?" Alexa asked.
" Sure thing." Liam replied.
" 1st floor to the right any room you can pick any one, all are guest bedrooms. And Alexa you as well whichever seems fit to you."
" okay." Both of them replied and went off.
Ryan stayed in the living room he need to sweat out his anger. He walked in the opposite direction to kitchen into the gym room. He took his shirt off, showing of his perfect abs and started to workout. In the middle of his stress reliving he was disturbed by a phone call.
" hello ?"
" hey, man where have you been all day ? I stopped at your office but you were not there which was not at all suspicious. " Roman's voice came from the other side with full sarcasm.
" Alexa she is not safe."
" What do you mean ? what happened ?"
" we can talk about it over a glass of Whisky. meet me in the moonstone club in 30 minutes. "
" Always down for a Whisky besides i have something to tell you as well."
" hmm."

Ryan hung up on him picked his shirt from floor and made his way to his bedroom. Taking a shower he changed into a pair of causal t-shirt and jeans pairing it with black sports shoes. He walked outside in the corridor and a flight of stairs.
" Going somewhere?" A soft voice spoke from the middle of the room. He switched on the light and saw her fidgeting with her finger.
" Yes. Roman is coming around and we need to talk about few things about the agreement we are thinking of signing."
" Ohh. Umm.... can i come with you ?" she asked nervously.
" You had a long day, sleep." he said and turned around to walk out.
" But It's late."
" I know. go to sleep we can talk tomorrow. "
She looked sad but he knew he can't take her where he going right now. He took his car keys locked the main door off to moonstone club.

He entered the club through the back door. He didn't want anyone to know about his presence. He saw Roman sitting at the farthest booth from the bar in a relatively dark corner.
" Hey man." Roman greeted. Ryan nodded him. The glass if Whisky was ready for him. he took a seat opposite to Roman while swirling the liquid in the glass.
" So what is it ?"
" You remember Jhon ?" Ryan asked aftr a mintute of silence.
" Jhon Taylor?" Roman squinted his eyes at his mention.
" Yes. He hurt her in past."
" Define hurt?"
" physical violence, verbal harassment, and almost sexual harassment, Oh and not to forget almost kidnapping. "
" Fuck ! Thats a lot to go on. So i wonder you want yo have a match with him ?"
"No match won't help it, he got out of jail once, I won't be able to kill him."
" Hey, i know you must hate him but killing won't help it, The officials will have more reasons to charge you for."
" You are right killing won't help it, i will torture him, keep him alive. And i don't hate him I despise him." he said as he drank the liquid and placed a glass in the table.
" Okay. you can do whatever you want, I will be there if you need any help. besides that I have a news. "
Ryan riased one of his perfectly scuplted eyebrows.
" Ace knight,he is back in town, we wants to talk to you about something. "
" About what ?"
" He wouldn't tell me, he wants to talk to you personally. "
" When ?" Ryan said.
" now, actually. "
" What ? he is here ?"
" yes. Upstairs in the VIP corner."
Eyan nodded and left to meet Ace but he didn't feel Roman following him. He stopped and turned around he was still sitting on the chair.
" What's wrong with you ? Come on." Ryan said.
" I told you he wants to talk to you personally, I am just a side guy. " Roman said looking at his glass. That was strange how he said the last sentence. Ryan made a mental note to talk to him about what happened to him.
" You walk with me right now or drag you with me." Ryan said.
Roman finished his drink and followed him to the VIP corner. Reaching the scheduled area, they saw as the Boss of the so called American mafia was taking a drag of his cigar with none other that Caroline beside him desperately trying to grab his attention and failing terribly as he was not even looking at her.
" Ahh.. my men. " He said after he recognized them.
Ace was a tall man, muscled and man of his word. He was none to be leathal to anyone who dares to defy his command. He and Ryan were both of same age. He stepped in after his father's death 4 years back coincidentally the same time when Ryan joined the Underground boxing.
" What do you want ?"
" Straight to the point ..... i see."
" Well, let's just chat for a little while, Here meet her. He name is--"
"-- Caroline. yes i know."
" I see, you have gone around sleeping like your mother."
" Don't worry, My standards are far better than her."
Ace smiled at him and motion for everyone to go.
" So, what's the deal ?" Ryan asked once everyone was out and only four people were left. Ryan and Roman, Ace and his right hand Jacob.
" I want you to join my men. Teach them to fight, train them. There is a bog war coming and i want my to be perfectly trained and skilled. "
" So basically, working for you ?"
" Kind off."
" Forget about it, I don't work for anyone."
" Come on, I'll pay you any amount. Name your price."
" I said, I am not Interested. Oh you can find Jamie, he is looking for such position. He is from Russia, settled in America. he has a wife and kids who don't know what he does to earn. You can contact him. He is a good fighter."
" I don't need good fighters, I need the best."
" Give him a chance." Saying that he stood from his chair ready to leave. But before turning to go he gave his one last advice.
" Oh and while you are with her--" He said pointing at Caroline who was straining to hear their conversation "--keep an eye on your credit cards and passcodes. Or be ready to be fooled." Saying that he left with Roman trailing behind him to the bar.
They ordered another Whisky and watched the people on the dance floor.
