With the Gang Leader

Chapter 26

26. Her feelings do matter.

The car's tyres rumbled against the old road as Alec pushed the accelerator.

His hand turned on the radio and a smile crawled upon his face. Of course, he would smile remembering the time he spent with Rayne and how they both jammed into the radio rivalry of turning it on and off.

What are you doing to me, Rayne? He thought.

He still was confused for he wanted to know the reason behind Rayne's bruise.

Alec was not exactly what people thought he was. The title of the 'Gang Leader' itself comes with a package of being associated with the words like ruthless, un-loveable ,handsome and many more stereotypical adjectives.

Of course the gang leader title was with Alec but he wasn't exactly the one related to all the criminal activities. He did things for good and the ones he was told or ordered to do by the unknown institution that always worked for people ,although it did had some illegal ways.

After a good thirty minutes drive he reached to the brim of the forest by the ends of which there was a tall building ,that can be termed as the finest work of an architecture.

Alec parked his car in front of it and got outside. He made his way inside the building and sat on a sofa. By the looks it did seem that he was waiting for someone. He took out his black phone and did all the unproductive things he could do with it ,for killing the time.

His attention towards his phone was deviated by a clearing of throat by a man in his late fifties.

"Bored?"the old man said.

"How are you William?",Alec asked.

"I am fine ,son. Let's move on to the real talk. Cut out the formalities", William made himself comfortable on the sofa opposite to Alec.

"Yeah. Well,I did what you told me",Alec said.

"Good job ,son. I have another task for you. Will you be able to do it?"

"I'll try my best ,William ."

"That's the spirit ,boy. My men found out that James is smuggling drug illegally throughout the country. We tried to stop him but he became very brutal and killed my men." William sadness was evident in his sentence.

"So what I have to do?" Alec asked.

" Kill him."

" What?! No."

"Why are you so worried about it ,Alec? You won't get arrested. I have permission from the government. In fact, they only ordered me to kill him. You know I am their most trusted agent."

"I-I can't kill him. Ray-I mean-"Alec was cut off by William's soothing voice.

" Okay ,don't kill him but at least bring him to us. We'll handle it."

"But-"

"But what ,son? Why are you so worried?"

The answer to this question was revolving all around in Alec's. He didn't want to kill James because then Rayne be would never forgive him. A voice chimed in the conversation of the two men, almost interrupting Alec's anxious thoughts.

"I know why ?" The voice belonged to Amanda , William's daughter .

Amanda was a sweet girl. She wore a nice outfit that complimented her beauty. She was a redhead and was aged around 22 years.

Amanda made her way towards the two men and took a comfortable seat next to her father.

" Why , Amanda?" , William asked .

" It's Rayne, isn't it ?" , Amanda gave a suspicious eye to Alec to which he rolled his .

"Who Rayne? ", William inquired again .

" C'mon daddy. I told you this morning. She's James' daughter? Well not real but still" , Amanda answered .

"What? What do you mean by 'not real '?" , Alec questioned .

" You don't know? "

Alec shook his head .

"Rayne is not his real daughter. James is a very disgusting man, " Amanda sighed in disbelief and continued," His real name is James Brown not James Munroe. He murdered a lot of people and looted hundreds of banks. The police was after him and he wanted to clean his back, so he decided, well he got the idea ."

"What idea? ", Alec asked in order to pull up more .

" When police was behind him , he thought that joining in with a family would save him. So he tried to find a person with same first name as his. Unfortunately, he found Rayne's biological dad , James Munroe and killed him to take his name. Rayne was of a few months then and Ian was just 2."

" Does she know ? Does Rayne know about this ?" , Alec asked .

" I don't think so because after he took the name and identity of James Munroe, he resided with the family and both of them were very small then . I don't think they remember much. "

" What about her mom?" , Alec was more than worried for Rayne now .

" After he killed her dad ,he attacked her mother too. But she didn't die and was in coma for almost a year. She ran away after she was attacked. She didn't told anyone about James because she was in coma. When James came to know that she is still alive ,he killed her too" , William explained .

Alec figured that this was the thing Chasity used against him .

"I think Rayne should know about this. Ian does too" , Amanda suggested , " you should tell her Alec."

"But how will I do this ? She will be hurt. " Alec said .

" You can't keep the truth from her Alec. She will come to know eventually " , Amanda rested her hand on Alec's shoulder .

" I will fucking kill that bastard! " , Alec fuming with anger, got up from the sofa .

" Don't do anything stupid Alec. Be careful. We have portrayed you as a Gang Leader so you can kill him" , William wisely said.

Alec just nodded and left for his house in his car. He wanted to tell Rayne ,the truth so badly but he know that it'll hurt her.

All the things were making sense now. James' behaviour towards Rayne.

His knuckles turned pale as his gripped the steering wheel even more tightly. He want to just see Rayne and console her when she cries. He wanted to tell her all the things she didn't know but his heart hesitated .

After all Rayne's feelings did matter. Especially to him.
