Xavier’s POV

                                 "Ambush"

It’s almost eight in the evening, and I’m on my way to intercept a convoy carrying cargo shipments. My men are already in position, waiting for my arrival.

The shipments belong to Y & C Construction Corp., intended for one of their major clients. But not tonight. Tonight, we’ll take everything. I’ll make sure their reputation is tarnished, their deals fall apart, and my father—the so-called businessman—watches his empire crumble.

The mere thought of his downfall brings a smirk to my lips. He deserves this. Every bit of it.

Suddenly, my phone rings.

“Boss, we successfully intercepted the trucks. What should we do with the drivers? Should we take them out?” one of my men asks.

“If they resist, eliminate them. Otherwise, tie them up and leave them. I’m almost there. Make it quick.” I hang up and slip on my mask before stepping out of the car.

As I approach the scene, I scan the area. The trucks are lined up, surrounded by my men who are working swiftly. Some are transferring cargo, while others stand guard. Everything is going according to plan.

“Move faster! If anyone interferes, shoot them. We’re not here to play games,” I bark, making sure they stay sharp and efficient.

Within minutes, we’re done. The shipment—millions’ worth of construction materials—is now ours. The loss will hit Y & C hard, and their client will undoubtedly be furious. I can already imagine my father’s rage when he finds out.

Good. He deserves to suffer.

As we drive away, I decide to make a call. I want to hear his panic firsthand.

The line rings, and a familiar voice answers.

“Hello? Who is this?” His tone is sharp and impatient.

“Hello?! I’m talking to you! Your number is unknown. Who the hell are you? How did you get my number?! Is this a prank call?! Don’t waste my time!” he snaps.

I chuckle. Oh, old man, you have no idea what’s coming.

“Haven’t heard the news yet?” I say, feigning innocence.

“What?! What are you talking about? Stop messing around!” He sounds irritated.

I let out a low, amused laugh. “Did you like the art I made on your car? You might want to keep an eye on your properties—I have more masterpieces planned for you.”

“What?! You were the one who did that?!! Damn you, you bastard! What the hell do you want?! Are you trying to destroy my reputation?! Stop this nonsense before I find out who you are!” he roars, his anger barely contained.

I sigh dramatically. “Your reputation? Oh no, I’m aiming for much more than that. I’m going to take everything—your company, your wealth, your peace of mind. And, of course, your loved ones.”

Silence. For a moment, I think he’s stopped breathing. Then, his voice returns, but it’s quieter, shakier.

“Who the hell are you?”

I lean back against my seat, satisfied. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”

“You don’t scare me,” he scoffs, but I can hear the underlying panic in his voice.

“You should be scared,” I reply coolly. “Because I know your dirty little secrets, old man. And I also know where your precious daughter is. She’s living a peaceful life… but not for long.”

“What?! You—” He stammers. “If this is about money, just name your price! I’ll pay whatever you want!”

I grit my teeth, my hands tightening around the phone. He really thinks this is about money?

“I don’t want a single cent from a murderer like you.” My voice is cold, venomous. “You built your empire by destroying others, by playing dirty. But now, it’s your turn to suffer.”

“Say whatever you want! I don’t care! You’re nothing but a coward hiding behind threats!” He tries to sound defiant, but the tremor in his voice betrays him.

I smirk. “Let’s see if you still think that after you find out what happened to your precious shipment.”

“What?! What did you do?! What—”

I hang up before he can finish.

His panic fuels my satisfaction. But this is just the beginning.

He doesn’t know who I am yet. He doesn’t realize the mistake he made years ago.

But soon, he will.

And when he does, it will be too late.

Payback time is coming.
