AFFLICTION

26 ~ [Why Him Again?]

AZEZAL POV

It's been more than a week since I met her. I know she went to Georgia, her parents houss for her vacation and I that too know she would be back within some days

Now currently I'm in my office engaged in work. I heard a knock on the entrance and affirmed "Come in"

"Hey dude! Whatcha doing??" My friend Ethan uttered coming inside the room
"Work. Any information about the Blood Reapers?" I straightly asked keeping my gaze fixed on the laptop screen. He came and sat on the chair facing me

"No but our attempts of attack were successful. The main thing is their own men doesn't know who is their main leader and boss is. They are playing safe" He said in a serious voice

"Anything about what do they actually want from us?" I questioned seriously looking at him now

"No... I don't think they have any sort of enemity or rivalry with us as far as I know, we never came on their way or we never engaged in anything with them. I think they personally just want you down. This is my opinion... No idea why though" He affirmed straightly

"Hmm... keep on with the investigation and I want my gang extremely secured, make sure none of their members gets the chance to break into the gang. Make everything secured and strong. I don't want any more betrayers in the team" I said

"Yes Sir. I'll personally watch over everything. Chill down dude" He said grinning and I set my gaze on the laptop screen and started working again. Still then he was sitting and looking at me smirking.

"What?" I asked confused. "So your engagement is within a few days" He said with a grin on his face

"Come on dude, don't start again. That bitch Carla is pain in my ass. If I could I would had definitely pushed a bullet in her head by now. This bitch keeps annoying the shit outta me. I need to get rid of her as soon as possible" I said in an annoyed voice, with a scowl face and he started laughing, hearing me

Our engagement will be in a few days as my father wanted but I demanded it to be a small one. A small party, no media and no reporters. Family and friends only, good that he agreed. Our engagement is being done by now because of business purpose ofcourse and the whole marriage thing too. Pavano empires is the first largest business leading and dealing in USA and Acardo Empires is second largest. So my father wants both to combine and form the largest, strongest and known in the whole world. This marriage is just a contract nothing else. But I don't care, I can build my empire strongest by myself too and I definitely don't care about this marriage thing

"By the way.. What about Leera then? What do you have in your mind for her? Would you let her go now? Doesn't seem like though" He said grinning and leaning against the chair

"Let her go? Never in my life. She will oviously face consequences for what she did with me. You'll see man" I smirked at him

LEERA POV

I will be going back to New York today. I almost spent 2 weeks here with my family and my vacation gotta over soon too so I need to go back as well as study for the finals.
These days I felt so good spending time with my family. I almost forgot my every pain and I feel way a lot strong than before.

Now I'm at the airport, my family came with me to see me off. I hugged everyone and bid goodbye. Came inside the airport after that

"Leera" I heard someone calling my name and I turned back. It's Louis.. he took steps towards me and I waited for him to come near

"Going back to New York today. Huh?" I asked smiling.

"Was supposed to go back after a few days but you're already leaving and tomorrow is my sister's engagement. I needed to go back.. So I thought why not just go back together. You know.... friends" He grinned
