Moses Flinn stepped out of his latest Rolls Royce in a well tailored grey suit, a black fur-coat and a matching pair of black shoes. With his long hair neatly combed, falling backwards towards his neck like a mane and a pair of dark sunglasses to shield his eyes from the bright afternoon sun, his appearance was nothing short of a Mafia king.
He was the desire of almost every woman he came across, with a handsome face, broad shoulders and slim long legs, he towered above everyone around like a giant. Those who knew him always wondered if at all there was anyone taller than him. Being the only son of one of the most dreaded Kings of the underworld in the country, many people avoided him because they believed he would be very much like his father but he knew he was nothing like that. If only they were close enough to see that beneath that mean look was a heart full of love but he couldn't blame them for this misconception because his father was known for all sorts of illegal businesses and crimes including sex trafficking, cocaine and marijuana deals. He was like a moving train that crushed anything that stood in his way be it his gang members, rival gangs or even law enforcements.
From an early age, Moses regarded his father as the devil himself because apart from the fact that his father had never really showed him the love fathers ought to shower their kids with, he had watched his father inflict pain on so many people for the mildest offenses. One could easily conclude that David Flinn his father was a government of his own in the entire country. To him, Moses was too soft a child and was nothing like him, for this reason he despised his own son and he would often say that he wished Moses had been born a girl, at least he would have been very happy to give him away in marriage so that there won't be any weakling attached to the Flinn family name.
After the death of Moses mother, his father had gone ahead to marry another woman and they had a daughter who was the female version of her father both in physical features and character and his father was super proud of her.
As he strode majestically to the aircraft like a king, he noticed the air hostess who was on duty adjusting her cleavage, probably to draw his attention. He smirked and headed straight to the private jet totally ignoring her; it wasn't new to him anymore because some women even did this while he was watching but this one was better off because she actually thought he wasn't.
He got into the jet and sat down, spreading his long legs about like a lazy king on a throne. After giving it a lot of thought, he had decided to go back to the very city he visited few months ago, because it was the very reason why he had lost sleep for weeks as his conscience continued to haunt him with flashbacks of the evil he had done to an innocent girl. The picture of the beautiful young girl from that night with tears and blood all over her face had been his nightmares every single night since that day.
At this point, he couldn't really tell what brought him back here. Whether it was to find her and apologize, he wasn't sure yet. But even if he badly wanted to apologise for his evil act, how would he find her in such a big City? And what would he do if and when he finally found her? And would that even stop the nightmares? His head was occupied by so many unanswered questions.
He couldn't imagine he went so far this time to the point of asking his men to inflict a lifetime injury on the poor girl's face? But how was he to know that they would do so much damage. Why didn't he just let her go when she begged him to?
As his mind wandered from thought to thought, he was beginning to feel choked up so he adjusted his tie and sat up. He was a well known playboy in the country but had never had any reason to inflict pain on any other person let alone a woman. How did he suddenly become like his evil dad in one night? He was very wealthy and handsome so ladies threw themselves at him so that he really didn't need to approach any girl. But this one had bluntly rejected him even after he offered her so much in return. This made him feel like a man again because all his life, he had never struggled for anything talk more of getting women in his bed but this particular one had triggered his desire. He felt that pain in his chest again which only comes each time he thought of her. Why was this so? Why did his heart ache whenever the memories of that night and the girl came to his mind. He picked the bottle of water on the table before and drank from it and looked out the window as he continued in his thoughts.
He didn't even know what her name was or in what part of the city she lived. But his way out was the other girl Mellissa who was her supposed friend that had gave her away to him. If he could find Mellissa, then he was very sure of finding her.
He remembered every detail of that night like it was only yesterday and he never ceased to regret every bit of his actions.
He had sent his men into the club to get him the most beautiful lady after getting really high, but they returned saying the lady they had found had rejected his offer of two million naira for the night. He was intrigued that there was a lady in the world that could actually reject his offer. He decided to send them back with three times the former offer, which made it six million naira. But they returned saying she had refused this offer too. He was about going out of his suite to the club hall to see this girl who dared to reject him, when another girl came in saying she was friends with the girl he wanted and offered to help him on the condition that he would give her half the reward he just promised her friend. He decided to hear her out and by the time she was done, he decided to let her do the job. She simply put a call across to her friend and just like she promised, her friend came running into the room. He could barely see her face because of the very dim lighting of the room but by the way she talked, she was definitely graceful. He had quickly asked his Assistant to escort Mellissa out of the room for her three million naira settlement while her friend stood there wondering what was going on.
