"Good morning dad. I'm set for school." Ethan said with smile.

"Good morning dear. I really loved to but I'm afraid I won't be able to take you to school today. I will tell your driver to take you to school instead.

"But dad you promised." Ethan murmured sadly.

"I know I did. I'm sorry I have to break my promise now. I love you son and I will make it up to you. Take 30 dollars more." Mr Robert said.

"Thanks dad but you will take me to school tomorrow." Ethan gazed at his father.

"Sure, I will. Give me a hug." Mr Robert embraced his son.

"Let's go to your driver. " Mr Robert said and they walked out. Mr Robert instructed the driver to take him to his school and he did immediately. Ethan waved his father before stepping into the car. Mr Robert entered his car immediately and some of his guards followed another car. The headed to Mr Robert's cocaine warehouse.

There were armed men surrounding the place too. A trailer just arrived with some cocaine. Mr Robert ordered his men to off load the cocaine, they did immediately and they stock it into the warehouse. Mr Robert's favorite bodyguard spoke up. His name is "Blade"

"Scorpion! What is our next plan?" Blade asked.

"You are taking some cocaine to Mr Reuben. Make sure you do a clean job." Scorpion said.

"OK boss." Blade said and left. The driver that brought the cocaine drove off once he was done. Mr Robert ensured that his stuffs are well secured before he left for his office.

He has a very big company. He is the CEO of "Mint Gasoline Production Company (MGPC) ". He make billions and he still not satisfied with it. He went ahead in dealing with cocaine business and he also engages in dubious means like killing whosoever tries to come his way. He arrived at his company. He got down from his car and moved to his office. Everyone greeted him as he walked into the building. He finally got to his office. His office is very wide and it was made of glass. He has a very nice desk and chairs and two sofa opposite his desk. He also has a shelf where he stores his record and some other relevant documents. He moved to sit and light his cigarette immediately. He began to smoke. Soon, he got a call from his secretary.

"Good morning Mr Robert. It's so good to see you." Mr Kingsley smiled.

"Good morning Mr Kingsley. Come have your sit. " Mr Robert smiled back. Mr Kingsley sat on the seat opposite him.

"Thank you. I came to discuss business with you." Mr Kingsley said.

"Oh! That's nice." Mr Robert nodded.

"My company would like you to supply us some crude oil for the production of gasoline. We are ready to give you 50 percent of our gain. In our estimations, we are going to gain 10 million dollars so 50 percent out of the money is yours like I said earlier. " Mr Kingsley said.

"Hmm! Okay, that is fine by me. How many barrel of oil do you need?" Mr Robert said.

"We would need 10." Mr Kingsley replied.

"Well, it's no problem at all. Just make sure you keep to your promise." Mr Robert said.

"Of course we will. Please sign here." Mr Kingsley handled over a document of agreement and Mr Robert signed.

"Thank you, so when do we get the barrel of oil?" Kingsley asked.

"Any moment you make your payment." Mr Robert replied.

"Of course." Mr Robert said.

"Thank you so much. I will be on my way now, have a nice day ." Mr kingsley said.

"You're welcome. Have a nice day too." Mr Robert said and Mr Kingsley walked out of the office.

Mr Robert called Mr Kingsley some hours later.

"Hello Mr Robert. Do you need anything?" Mr Kingsley asked.

"Not really. I just want to tell you that let's make the money 70/50." Mr Robert said as he walked round his office.

"But we already had an agreement." Mr Kingsley said.

"Forget about the agreement. Let the money be 70/50." He touched his bead.

"We can't forget it. We already agreed on 50/50." Mr Kingsley said.

"We can change it. Listen Mr Kingsley, I don't like repeating myself. Let's make the money 70/50." He said unfriendly.

"What do you mean? You know what, just forget the business. I will buy somewhere else." Mr Kingsley said angrily.

"Mr Kingsley, do wanna play with fire?" He said in a calm voice.

"I can't play with fire." You can't do anything." Mr Kingsley said boldly.

"I can sense how bold you are. I can see you want me to show you the beast in me." He said.

"You can't do anything like I said earlier. I will also deal with you if you try any Shit." Mr Kingsley threatened.

"Wow! I like men like you. Watch out for me then." He said and hung up angrily.

(Phone call disconnected)

Mr Robert was so furious. He was so ready to kill Mr Kingsley. He called some of his men to trail him and tell him when they see him.

Ethan was waiting for his driver in front of the school gate when his classmate, Dorothy, walked up to him.

"Ethan! Who are you waiting for?" Dorothy asked.

"I'm waiting for my driver. " Ethan replied.

"OK." Dorothy stared at Ethan who was waiting endlessly for his driver.

"What about you?" Ethan finally asked after ignoring her for awhile.

"I'm waiting for my dad. " Dorothy said.

"OK. "

"Ethan! Why were you dull in class today?" Dorothy asked. She likes Ethan and she wants to be close to him but Ethan doesn't want a close friend.

"Why were you spying on me?" Ethan asked her.

"I-I..." Dorothy tried to find an answer.

"Never mind, my driver is here. Bye. " Ethan walked into the car and they driver drove off.

"Awwn, he should have at least wait for awhile. He's so bossy." Dorothy frowned.

Ethan ran into the house to look for his mom. His mother owns a famous jewelry store in the city but she is a good woman. She doesn't support his husband bad behaviors. Ethan met his mom in her room.

"Mom! Good afternoon." Ethan greeted his mom.

"Good afternoon darling. How are you?" She smiled at his and embraced him.

"I'm fine mom. You left home very early today." He stared at his mom.

"Yes, darling. I had to attend to something at the store." She said smile.

"OK mom." He smiled at his mom.

"So did your dad take you to school?" She asked to be sure.

"No, my driver did. " He confirmed.

"What? But he said he would take you himself." She seemed surprised.

"He said he wanted to attend to some stuffs." He glared at his mom, reading her express.

"OK dear." She said.

"Are you okay mum?" He asked inquisitively.

"Sure darling, mummy is fine." She smiled at him. She was determined to ask her husband were he went to that early without letting her know. She hoped he hasn't done anything wrong this time because he knows his husband too well.

Mr Robert's men were able to catch up with Mr Kingsley. They informed Mr Robert where they were immediately. He quickly went to meet them there.

Robert's men trailed Mr Kingsley till he got to a forest.

Mr Kingsley ran into the tick forest. Scorpion's men went after him. He suddenly became too tried to run and before he knew it Scorpion's men catch up with him. He man fell down flat, sweat was all over this body and his clothes were already soaked like he was drained by rain. He kept shivering in fear.

"Please don't kill me." The man pleaded for his dear life. Fear ran through his face. Scorpion walked up to them.

"Please don't kill me." The man pleaded for his dear life. Fear ran through his face. Scorpion walked up to them.

"Mr Kingsley. We meet again." Scorpion gave an evil smile.

"Please, I will do whatever you want." Mr Kingsley shook in fear. Scorpion knelt down at his front.

"I warned you, I told you you don't mess with me. You said you gonna show me the stuff you made of. Come'on show me now." Scorpion said.

"I can't do anything. Please spare my life." Mr Kingsley said in great fear.

"You know what? I was interested in that money before but now I'm more interested in taking you life!" Scorpion screamed.

"Please." Mr Kingsley pissed in on his body instantly.

"Yuck! He pissed." Scorpion said and he burst into laughter with his men.

"I thought you are more than this." Scorpion gazed at him.

"I want three of you to torture him for 5 minutes before I give my real judgement. Do that now." Scorpion instructed as he stood up. Three of his men came forward to torture the man. They kicked him hard all over his body. The man groaned in pains.

"Please!!! Have mercy on me!" Mr Kingsley said in tears.

"Time up." Scorpion said and came forward. "I don't miss my target, if you have the chance to come back to the world, don't you dare mess with me. I am scorpion!" Scorpion said furiously. He cocked his gun and shoot him till he gave up.

"Pack him up and let's leave now!" Scorpion gave an order. His men packed the dead body and they left the forest.

Scorpion went home immediately. He met his wife in the room. She walked up to him.

"Welcome dear." She greeted his husband.

"Thank you." He removed his suit jacket.

"Ethan said you did not take him to school this morning so where did you go to?" She questioned him.

"I went to attend to some stuffs at the office." He replied then he hung his suit jacket on his hanger.

"You and I know that you go to office by 9 so I don't believe you went to your office straight." She continued pestering him.

"And how is that your business?" He stared at her.

"It's my busines because I'm your wife and I fear you might have done something wrong." She said while Mr Robert reminded silent.

"I thought as much. You went to carry out your useless works. Robert, why are you so heartless? Don't you think about your me and child? Have you ever thought of the word about "Nemesis" ?" She cried out.

"Enough woman! No one is capable of doing me harm so shut your mouth and stop saying rubbish." He frowned.

"No one has never done evil and escape the punishment. I just hope you realise that." She said and looked away.

"How dare you say that to me?" He grew furious and gave his wife a slap.

"You slapped me because I told you the truth!" She held her face in surprise.

"Don't push me to do more than that. " He warned his wife. Ethan came out of his room when he heard a noise coming from his parents room. He went straight to knock on their door.

"Mom! Dad! What's going on?" Ethan asked through the door.

"Nothing dear. We are fine." Her covered up.

"OK mom. The noise is too much. I was reading but your noise has been disturbing and I have test tomorrow." Ethan said in his tiny voice.

"Sorry darling. We won't disturb you again." She replied.

"Go back to your room son." Mr Robert spoke up.

"OK dad. " Etan said and went back to his room.

"Can you see what you caused? You want our son to hear us. I will deal with you later." Mr Robert stared at his wife for awhile before moving toward the wardrobe to his car keys. He moved out immediately after taking it, leaving his wife in tears. Ethan noticed his dad leave the room so he went to check on his mum. Mrs Robert was busy crying but she stopped the moment Ethan entered.

"Mum are you crying? Did dad hurt you?" Ethan asked worriedly.

"No, I hurt him. I got him mad at me." She lied.

"Sorry mom. We would beg him when he comes back." Ethan consoled him mom.

"Thank you darling. Mummy, love you so much." She embraced him.

"I love you too mummy." He embraced his mom back.
