THE MESSIAH'S REVENGE.

Chapter 2.

I got to my office and I told Rose not to forward any calls and to cancel all my meetings for the day since I am working on a business proposal for Friday with my business partner Gonzalo.

"So do you think if we get more workers on those oil channels we can be able to distribute it to foreign countries faster?" Gonzalo asks, he is basically doing all the talking and I am doing the pretending to be listening part.

"Yeah but won’t that be a little bit cost-" I try to say something but my phone rings.

"I thought you told Rose that you do not want to be disturbed?"
I flash him an apologetic smile and I simply put both my phones on silent. A few seconds later my phone vibrates with a text...well it has to be something serious if the person went as far as texting me.
While ignoring the glares that Gonza is shooting me, I take my phone and I read the text.

BAUTI: Jake Mcdilly was killed last night. A new person has taken over the distribution channels and he’s refusing to let us use the current route that we are using. I set up a meeting with him and he agreed to meet us Saturday night at 8:30pm at the brothel, be sure to pack some good manners tiger.

Bauti is my right hand man, my bestie and my business partner, he runs the marathon and I take the grand prize, that is basically how we do business. I have this huge oil company to keep steady, so I cannot be worrying about the brothel/strip club/underground drug nest, he handles all that, I step in once in a while, okay only when there are problems but hey hooray for participating right?

"Listen Gonza something just came up so I am gonna need you to finish this on your own yeah? So uhmmm can I please be left alone"
I give him an apologetic smile and with that he packs up and exits. I have a tendency of being too much of a boss lady and besides I was not listening and he gets paid to work so hey, honestly office work is just a bore, I prefer being in action at the hood but Bauti and my bestie Alvaro never let me have any fun.

Mcdilly was a distributor of my merchandise and the channels he uses are efficient, costs me a lot but I always make 6 times more than what I pay him so I never complained. In fact he was the only person who could do the job, distribute without any disturbances so with that being said he was my only distributor. With him being dead it poses a challenge to me because I do not easily trust people in this type of business. What if this rookie cannot be trusted?

I look at the time and I notice that it is almost school out for Alex so I text my nena asking her to tell her driver to fetch Alex from school, my nena is looking after Alexis till she gets better so she cannot fetch Alex, and I am tied up with my thoughts right now.

The day goes by quickly and before I know it I am parking my car in my garage.
I do not bother taking anything out of the car, I just get out and lock the car. I open the front door and I go straight into the kitchen because:

I haven't eaten anything all day.
I could really chew something right now.

I walk straight to the fridge, open it and then I take a bucket of vanilla ice cream then I open the bottom drawer and quickly grab a spoon, and I start digging in while I am walking all the way to the couch, if this house wasn't so big I would have made it to the couch seconds ago. I jump onto the couch and then I place my legs on the miniature Egyptian table and then I continue to dig in.

"Long day honey?" I look to my left and I find my nena standing by the doorway wearing purple silk pyjamas and drinking a glass of milk. My nena is a very short woman, she has brown hair, small nose and always has her leopard lens on, she has a thing for wild animals, she has a clear British accent, she just happened to have married an American and she had no choice but to move here.

"You can say that, where is Alex and Alexis?" I ask while stuffing my mouth with ice cream.

"Sleeping, let me guess, you did not eat anything all day long and then you are going to go to sleep right after eating this ice cream, and then wake up tomorrow morning, take Alex to school and then come back late, eat ice cream again then again, again and again, when are you going to realize that you have a family Layler?"
I give her a straight look as I try to analyse her facial expression, I can never tell if she is mad or not, my nena is the type to kill you while smiling and the type to be happy and still cry, she's complicated really.

"Listen nena I am really tired so can we not do this today at least-"

"Layler?" I hear Alexis call out.

"In here"

She comes in and then she sits right next to me. Alexis has the body of a model, skinny, flat stomach, long legs, pretty face, natural red lips, blue eyes, brown hair. She is dressed in pink silk pyjamas, we all have silk pyjamas that we got as a gift from nena last Christmas.

"What is wrong my dear, why are you up?" My nena asks with a worried look on her face.

"Angela's father called earlier and he said that he has the letter that dad & mom left for you before they died. You’re turning 25 soon so that means you gonna open it" She says while looking at me.

Angela is Alexis's best friend who lives just across the road and her father is Advocate Roosevelt, my father's lawyer.
The will mentioned that my parents had left behind a letter for me to read the minute I turned 25, it's probably more businesses being handed to me or a thank you letter. Thanks mom and dad.

"And?" My nena asks.

"I told him that he can come and give it to you on your birthday next month"

"Heaven help us all" I say as I let out a sigh.

"Not all of us are going to heaven big sis" We hear Alex jump into the conversation out of nowhere, he walks towards me dressed in his black silk pyjamas and then he pats me on my head, great karma right?

Alex is a typical teenage boy, he likes parties, girls and hanging with his friends. He has endless tattoos on his body and most of them are bible verses so my nena never really complained, he used to have gold slugs but I made sure that he got rid of them.

Alex is tall as well, dark black hair, Kendrick Lamar type of hairstyle, he has an eye ring on his left eye, blue eyes, red-pinkish lips he doesn’t look all so different from Alexis without the decorations.

"Stop it Alex do not ever say such in my presence child" My nena says.
“But it's true though nena" He imitates my nena’s British accent.
I turn to look at Alexis who is busy eyeing my ice cream.

“Is that why you are up?" I ask while eyeing my ice cream.

"Yes, I knew you would be eating ice cream by now so I also came with a spoon" She says and then she takes out a spoon from her pocket and she starts to dig in and to my surprise Alex does it too, my nena laughs and then she walks off only to turn off the lights.

"Nena!" We all say simultaneously.
