The Fedora [The Series 1] {Completed}

Chapter 07

Rolfe grits his teeth as he reads the report on the test he ran of the diamonds, even if he hates to admit it Natalie was right.

He rubs his face as he can already imagine her shouting and screaming then dancing happily when she finds out she was right, that brings a smile to his face.

"What are you happy about?" one of his men asks him seeing his boss smiling widely even if the test was not as he thought.

"What? Nothing, call Marcus it seems he has been double crossing us and I would like to personally gift him for doing so to me" he orders before throwing the report on the bin.

The whole day Rolfe is busy attending calls and apologizing for the mistake by sending the duplicate diamonds, his anger towards himself increases ten times as he had been blindly trusting the man.

He has been in the business for so long with Marcus that the thought of Marcus betraying him was zero. From the beginning of his business, he has been doing business with Marcus who handled all of the smuggling of the diamonds and he had never once faced any problems until now.

He wonders how long he has been a fooled by the fake diamonds, if Natalie had not pointed, it out he would have been a joke of the business all of his plans would have been in ruins along with his reputation.

"Boss, Marcus is in" his man informs so Rolfe gets up from his seat to meet the man who has no clue that he was busted.

*******

"Rolfe, my man" Marcus cheers, throwing his hands around as he stands up with a smile.

"Marcus" Rolfe curtly nods his way.

"What is this about man, your men just barged into my office demanding I see you, everything all good with your business?" he asks still with an energetic smile.

"Yes it is going perfect despite your attempt to ruin me"

"What do you mean man? You know me..."

"So you mean these are real?" he asks as he throws the diamonds at his feet wiping his smile off his face.

"Rolfe, man"

"How long, just tell me for how long have you been dispatching fake ones to me as well as my clients?" he asks wanting to be done with it.

"I don't know what you are talking about man, you know me and I can never do such thing to you"

"Marcus I am not here to hear your lies just tell me how long and from when" he sighs as he stalks the man who steps down.

"Rolfe, man come on, we can fix this okay, I..." Marcus stops as Rolfe covers his mouth.

"We both know what happens when someone tries to cross me Marcus; I had warned you the first time that if you even think of double crossing me it will be the last thought of yours" Rolfe growls before his men enter and get a hold of Marcus.

Rolfe plays with the diamonds in his hands as his men finish tying Marcus to the chair, he walks towards the man before holding his jaw and filling his mouth with the diamonds.

Marcus tries to fight him, but the hold Rolfe had, it was too strong. Rolfe shuts his mouth with duct tape before doing the same with his nose so it was hard for him to breathe.

Then Rolfe just casually takes a seat and watches the man fighting for air and his life thrashing around as a fish without water.

Finally after a few moments Marcus's eyes-widen before he stops moving and just slumps on the chair, Rolfe just stares at the man for a while before he stands dusts his fedora and wears it as he walks out of the door.
