Chapter 19 - "BRIAN LIGHTON WHAT DID YOU DO"

 I walked out and of the hospital with a mask covering my face. I hailed a cab and quickly got in, the car drove for a while and I told the cab driver to stay put I went upstairs to my previous apartment and grabbed a few if my things and clearing the surveillance footage. 

 I got back into the cab and after telling the driver the address I relaxed, closing my to sleep. I was still feeling dizzy from the accident and I made the doctor treat my injuries which needed stitches without anaesthesia which now made me feel like I was going to die. 

 "This driver so far seemed to not be involved in the underworld", I thought opening my eyes to stare at him. I got off the car and began walking a towards the black gate which was quite a distance from where the taxi was allowed to park. 

 "Bella", I heard my name being called and turned to see a car stopping beside me with the windows rolled down. I smiled because it was my younger brother. "Brian", I called out removing my mask, "it's really you", he said again. He got down from the car and came over to my side and gave me a bear hug. 

 "Let go your squeezing me", I said and felt him loosen his grip, "Bel let's go eat out", he said "no I have something to talk to Dad about,maybe some other time", I said looking at him "I'll be quick" he said and opened the door to his car for me I hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

 "What is it you want to talk to me about", I asked when he finally stopped after driving for so long and finally stopping outside a beauty store. "Bella I don't think father would be happy to see you", he said I looked at him puzzled. 

 "Leo's back" he said looking at me "what, why", I asked I couldn't believe it how could leo come back. "Dad wants him to take over the family business both legit and underworld", he said again. "If he is looking for someone capable you fill that description", I said frowning. "He also put a bounty on you and assigned me to the case", he said this time lowering his voice "wait, he put a bounty on me, what did I do", I asked my frown getting deeper.

 "I don't know but I do know that, he said your useless and know too much", he said "before you say anything I accepted the assignment", I looked at him in surprised and I suddenly felt angry. "Brian lighton you did what".

 "But before you try to crucify me, I don't want to do it anymore I'll go back and say I can't do it, when the news that you were dead came I realized what I felt so crushed the fact that I wanted revenge on Sarah", he said looking downcasted "I'm sorry, but I don't think just having revenge on Sarah will be enough to make you accept it so I'm guessing, dad offered you something else", I said sitting up.
