Malevolent || h.s

Chapter 4.

Peter Jones

I poured another glass of scotch and made my way back to my leather chair. All across my desk was piles and piles of paper work that needed to be done.

My job wasn't hard but it demanded a lot of time and it could be dangerous for the most part. I worked with a company or a secret society know as Malevolent. They basically needed me and my company to help them locate safe zones to store and sell their drugs, as well as help them hire trustworthy people to wash money for them. I never wanted to be apart of any of this I really didn't, but some how I became apart of this little corrupt business.

It earned me a lot of extra cash and it was nice to buy whatever I wanted. And still have enough money to burn. I looked at the clock seeing it was already 12:00am. I continued sorting the the stacks of paper creating business agreements and deals for my boss to approve of for the company.

I had recently set up a fake business agreement and some how it slid through the system and worked. Every since my wife Rose died about a month ago. It has caused me and my daughter a great deal of pain.
Sure me and Rose had a lot of arguments but what couple doesn't? Everything was ok till I got a call saying she had been hit by a drunk driver.

See the problem with this is about two month before her car accident we had a really heated argument. She told me I worked to long and didn't spend enough time with her or my daughter Arya. She claimed that Arya was going off to college next year and probably would stay gone and I was missing valuable time with her. I decided to take the pressure off myself and pay for a graduation trip for her and Rose and I to go on. We could all spend a little time together and it would be refreshing since I'm always working.

I decided to hire some of my closet friends that I trusted to wash the money for me. Each of them earning 10% of the profits. Leaving enough for my family and I to go on the trip. I then would simply work over time and pretend that it took longer for the hired recruiters to collect the washed cash.

It had all been planned out and although I made a great amount of money it wasn't no where near the amount I needed to pay them back, but when my wife passed in the car crash it changed the plans. Now I was stuck with a trip and a load of cash that I owed. I knew if my boss or the gang we worked with ever found out that I had went behind their backs and stolen money I would get myself killed. I couldn't dare leave Arya by herself she was only 18 and about to graduate high school she had her whole life ahead of her and she was close with Rose and now that Rose's gone I can tell Arya is broken and sad and there nothing I could do for her.

I remember when I got the call that Rose was in a accident. The paramedics reported she died instantly. I had to confirm her body at the morgue. It was one of the hardest things I have done. To see your wife or a person you love laying cold, dead and stiff. With no sign of life in their body it messes a person up, it really does.

I decided to work hard and pay the money back as fast as I could before they find out. I decided when I go home tonight although it will be late I will ask Arya if she would like to invite her friend Kate to come along and I would do my own thing and let them explore the city of Paris. I wanted her to still have fun all she does is work and go to school. And don't get me started on the boyfriend of hers. He is the prime example of a douche, but she tells me he treats her good and I trust what she says.

I looked at the clock to see time has passed by quickly. I still had a stack of papers that needed to be done but they could wait to I get back. I asked my boss off and he seemed to believe my excuse for needing the weekend off as well as Monday - Tuesday and that's all I needed so I could take the trip and get out of this city. I know Arya has to work but I called her friend Kate and told her I needed Arya for the weekend off and Monday and Tuesday as well and I invited her to come as well. I told her to act surprised when Arya invites her and she agreed.

Yes I loved my wife but what no one knows is that Kate has done me quite a few favors. Some would call it inappropriate for a girl of her age to do to a married man of my age. I guess that's why I feel bad about Rose because I cheated on her with Kate and yeah I know she's 18 but she's legal and she wants me just as much as I want her.

Her coming on this trip will allow me to have fun but also make my daughter happy, I won't make it obvious I will allow them to run around on their own. But me and Kate will get our alone time. To be honest I'm surprised Arya hasn't caught us. I don't know how many times Kate and I were fucking in the next room while Arya was in her room. Kate would always say she was going to get a glass of water but it doesn't take 20 minutes to get a glass of water.

A pounding on my office door is what startled me from my sinful thoughts. I glanced at my watch to see it was 1:15am. I got up and carefully made my way to the door. I don't know who would dare come to my office at such a hour but they were about to get their ass chewed out by me. I grabbed the door handle and swung it open ready to yell at whoever it was that had the balls to bother me at this time of night.

As soon as the door opened a fist grabbed the collar of my shirt and shoved me up against the wall and I felt a gun placed to my forehead.
