Allure of Darkness!

9. The Fool!

Author's POV

Later that night, Laurence messaged Mikhail and called him in the club when he found out that he had saved Marona.
When Mikhail entered the VIP area, he saw Laurence fucking some stripper on the couch.
Mikhail sat by the bar counter and waited for him to finish his business while looking at him disgusted. The other stripper tried to approach him but he dismissed her. Since he has been with Marona, it has become difficult to imagine any other girl and he has been struggling with this feeling for years now.

When Laurence was done, he pushed away the girl from him and sat beside him while fixing his clothes. Mikhail shifted a bit away from, feeling disgusted. He hates Laurence more than he hates his father and he has earned his wrath too. Mikhail is not someone who acts in rage, he keeps his calm and then does things. Impulsive decisions are not in his nature.

Laurence is his elder but he has never acted like one, he was always selfish, arrogant and greedy for the throne and he is doing everything to take it. He is playing politics, trying to take businessmen in his favor, trying to collect as much as support he could. Rafael and Mikhail waited for him to play his dirty politics and waited until he crossed his limits, now when Laurence has crossed all the limits. It's time to put it to the end.

"What's the point of going to some random girl when you have a good and beautiful wife?"
Mikhail circled the rim of his glass while scowling in disgust. Till now he didn't try to separate Marona from him because he thought Laurence will keep her safe but he was wrong. He thought he loved her but he was just using her and it boiled Mikhail's blood.

Laurence chuckled mockingly.
"A good wife is just for the society, a good woman is mandatory to keep your image good in front of the people. Look at Marona, she is a good, obedient wife who makes people think that I have control in my house. Uncontrolled women make you dirty in front of people. She is good but boring, too boring"

Mikhail clenched his angry jaw as he stared at the glass in his hold.
"So you married her to use her?..."
He knows but he wants to hear it from him.

"Of course, you really think that I'll fall for a fat girl like her? But she was good & obedient so why not. You ask her to sit, she sits. You ask her to stand, she stands. Dumb Bitch"
He chuckled while shaking his head.

Mikhail took a deep breath to control his anger. He knew that Laurence was always into slim girls and not curvy girls like Marona. But Marona is beautiful, she isn't fat but curvy. She has a breathtaking hourglass body which some women pray for.
"Why have you called me here?"

"I know you have the file. Give it back or else I'll tell my father that you stole it from my room."
Laurence warned, he knows that Mikhail is dangerous for him because he has messed up a big time.

Mikhail let out a mocking chuckle.
"Father? How long are you going to hide behind your father, Laurence? Grow some balls and come out from the protection of your father and Marona."
He always hides behind his father's power and Marona's innocence which is his facade in the society.

Laurence could see in his eyes that Mikhail is not at all intended to give the file back which has all the information of hidden warehouses and code locations of the Delgado family which can give power to the person who gets it.
"I am not playing with it, Mikhail... I want that file back."
He grew restless and angry.

"It's with Rafael"
Mikhail smirked when he saw Laurence's face draining colors. Everyone knows that Laurence doesn't mess with Rafael because he is insecure of him. Rafael is more intelligent than Laurence, he is not a coward, he has a better understanding of decisions and matters than Laurence. He was always scared that Rafael would impress his father and the throne would go to him, so he tried to gather power outside the Delgado family which included businessmen, Politicians and what not. Only if he knows that Mikhail already has them in his pockets for Rafael and they are only with Laurence until Mikhail wants.
"I love when I see you shaking with Rafael's name"
