Episode 14

Malik

What the fuck is this? What's going on here? What did I miss?

"Well, Mr. Johnson, given that Malik is now my husband, I'm afraid your offer to buy him is not possible."

What? Wait, buy me how?

David was very red and you could see his jaw clenching, it may have been many years, but I still know him like the back of my hand. He decided to ignore Dimitri at that moment and just focus on me.

"Malik, I know that what happened in the past hurt you a lot, and I'm very sorry. But that's no reason for you to have given up and gotten involved with the mafia, look my love I can help you, I promise I'll take care of this and set you free, trust me."

But that was all I needed, I don't know if it's the hate I'm feeling, or if it's the lack of having Dimitri's protection now, but at that moment I decided to say a few things that I couldn't all those years ago.

"It's very bold and arrogant of you to think this has anything to do with you."

First of all, I'm not your love, secondly, I trusted you once and it didn't end very well.

"Malik, I told you I'm sorry, I was young and confused, you were my first, and we were getting married, I panicked about you wanting to wait until marriage, I was afraid of doing something wrong or hurting you..."

I realized that Dimitri was about to explode and the thought of seeing David lying dead on the dining room table wasn't very appealing, he was a cheating, idiotic motherfucker, but he doesn't deserve to die.

So I decided to put an end to it, I turned to Dimitri and winked in the most idiotic way I could.

"It's all right honey, I'll take care of this."

Dimitri was still furious, but I think his curiosity was greater, so he just nodded.

"David, in consideration of the good times we had, I'll help you. You see, my husband has killed men for much less, a few days ago there was a man shot dead right where you are, Dimitri shot him because he disrespected me. You're only alive now because I felt sorry for you. So let's get the facts straight here, okay? I didn't put my life on hold and cried over you all these years, okay, I'm over it. And I don't need to be saved, or rescued or anything, I married Dimitri because I wanted to, we really like each other that's why we're together. And about the virginity issue, don't worry, Dimitri took care of that too. Now, if you don't mind, we're still on our honeymoon, so if you could hurry up your business with my husband I would appreciate it."

I stood up and leaned over Dimitri and spoke close to his ear.

"See you in our room, honey, don't be long."

I gave him a long kiss and left the room.

As I walked through the door, I heard Tiago's voice behind me.

Damn Malik, that was awesome here, I didn't know you were that daring.

"Me neither, my friend, me neither. Actually, now I'm freaking out and can't stop shaking, I screwed up, didn't I?"

"Of course not, cookie, you kicked that asshole's ass and I'm proud of you."

Tiago always calmed me down, he was my best friend in the whole world, the day after my conversation with Dimitri, I was really down, so he went to my room bringing a lot of treats, candy and chocolates, a good wine and we had a picnic on the bedroom floor, Tiago was eating a cookie and said I looked like one, I was black, crunchy on the outside and sweet on the inside, I hated it and the nickname stuck.

I followed Tiago to my room after a quick stop at the winery.

Dimitri

The things I heard in this room today were too much for me to process so quickly, and after hearing Malik talking to me like that and after he kissed me like that, I lost track.

But I regained my focus pretty quickly after I stared at David Johnson's dumb face. Since I'm already sick of this shit, and I have business to attend to with Malik, I'm going to put an end to this.

"Alright gentlemen, now that we're alone let me get straight to the point. Otavio, you better think long and hard before you plot against me, I have eyes and ears all over town, including the Johnson's organizations. So I will always be one step ahead of you, I have more power, more men, and more guns and I will not hesitate for a minute to end this pathetic charade of yours as a powerful criminal."

"As for you, little Mafioso, if you ever dare look at my husband again, I will kill you, I will dismember your body and feed your troops to the dogs. Get out of my house now and thank God I didn't kill you for wasting my time with all this clowning around, you are ridiculous, and you are not welcome here, please do not come back."

**(Author: I would love to have said that to some relatives today, I envy Dimitri***.)

The two of them walked out of there making threats and saying how humiliated, offended, and everything else they felt.

"Ivan, I want people watching those two all the time, now that they think I underestimate them, they will let their guard down and screw up, I want to put an end to this before it becomes a bigger problem."

"Yes sir."

I left the dining room and went to Malik's room, he told Johnson that I had solved his virginity problem, so I want to know about this story straight away, Malik is already 30 years old, no one is a virgin at 30, it's impossible...

Isn't it?!?!
