THE HEART OF A MOB BOSS | ON GOING

Chapter 3 - middling

"Tell me what's his name again?". Nicholas asked Tom as he arrived. 

His house is a mess already. 

"Keegan, Keegan Aguero". Tom Answered. 

Nicholas came outside to a torturing room. His eyes shine on Keegan mercilessly.

"How dare you to do this, Mr. Aguero?". Asked Nicholas as he took off his suit and folding his sleeve. 

Keegan looked at him faintly, his face and body battered already. His eyelids were bleeding from from blows. Nicholas grabbed his face, and spoke at close range.

"If I asked, I want the answers". Nicholas said with an evil smile.

He straightened himself up again saying,

"where's my gun, tom".

Hearing that, Keegan tried to speak even though it's hoarse.

"Please don't kill me". he said

Nicholas look at him again. Raised an eyebrow as he talked. 

"Sorry.". He pulled the trigger. And Keegan's dead. 

Nicholas' white shirt seemed to be splattered with the blood of reluctance that spewed out when the bullet pierced his veins at close range. He raised his head after killing Keegan. He took a handkerchief and wiped his hands after the gun was taken by Tom.

"Burn it, and then throw him away". He passed. But, looking back again.

"Clean this house while I return to London. I want a peace tonight. If something like this happens again, not only the intruder will die, but the stupid guard will die too." he said carelessly. 

Nicholas's subordinates noddes. Nicholas went out and drove his Porsche back to London. 

***

Nicholas changed into his kimono, a waiter came in and brought a bottle of champagne and a glass to his room.

"Is there anything else you want, sir?" asked the servant.

Nicholas simply shook his head and raised his hand to tell the servant to leave. And the servant was gone. 

After the servant was gone, Nicholas heard a knocked from his door. 

"Come in". Said him. 

His mother bursted in as he laid his body on the couch. Nicholas seen her mother. 

"Son". His mother started to speak. Her name is Eleanor Miller. 

"if you comes in to discuss a bride. You better get out.". Replied him. 

"Oh cmon son, you are 30 now and you should probably find a girl". Asked his Mother. 

Nicholas shakes his head. 

"I'm not in mood to talk about it, I'm sorry mother". Answered Him. 

Hearing that, his mother was upset. She walked out his room says nothing but leaving. Nicholas saw that moment as he muttered to himself. 

"Who in the hell, that willing to be a wife from a mob". Said him to himself as he laughs.

He continued to watch. Suddenly crossed in his mind about the girl he saw at Starbucks. But a moment after that, he diverted his mind again but he can't. 

"Who is she?". He asked himself. 

He woke up from his thoughts, looked at the clock on the wall in his room, it was exactly 11 o'clock at night. Nicholas thought of just taking a night walk before getting tired of walking over to him. He descended to the 1st floor of his mannor.

"Where are you going? Didn't you just arrive?". Asked his mother who was at the dining table.

"Just go for a walk. I'll be back before morning." Answer him. 

Her mother just shooked her head.

"You and your father are the same." Replied her. 

Nicholas goes to the garage, gets his Lamborghini out. He turned the music on and starts driving.

***

Nicholas drove at a fast speed down the highway. The street lights add to the beauty of the city of London that night. In his mind he still pictured the beautiful face of, the girl he saw at Starbucks this afternoon. He wished he could know her name, or be acquainted with him. Until finally, he was in the chilton area, for no apparent reason. 

Kim was seen on the side of the road, it was already midnight. Kim carried a large plastic bag in her left hand. Without looking around, she just crossed the street. It's night already, she thought, so there would be no speeding vehicles passing by.

Nicholas seen someone crossed the way suddenly and he pushed his brake not to hit her. 

"THE FUCK". Cursed him. 

Kim almost got hit by Nicholas. She froze. 

Nicholas tried to normalized his heartbeats, drove his car back just passed in front of her without saying nothing. Kim, desperately tried to remember the car who's gonna hit her. She muttered in Korean. 

*** 

Kim arrived at Luna's appartment now. She told her about a man that almost hit her. 

"I told you Kim, look around when you're about to cross the road". Answered her. 

"Yeah but why in the hell someone have to drove like that fast in mid fuckin night". Complained herl 

"Hahaha, just leave it, at least you're alive now. C'mon let's eat". Luna opened the bag that Kim carried from outside and starts to eat.
