Chapter 37




Fredrick sat down and the young man also sat down.


'What do you want?" Fredrick asked the young man when he sat down. The boy smiled and his face was shown to be Michael.


'My name is Michael." Fredrick was staring at him and he could tell he had seen Michael's face somewhere before. Michael stretched his hand to shake Fredrick, but Fredrick did not accept the handshake.


Michael took his hand back with a smile on his face.


'We are not friends." Fredrick said to Michael. That gave Michael a signal that it's because they are not friends that why he rejected the handshake.


'Tell me the reason why you are here. I'm a very busy person." Fredrick said to Michael, sounding very strict, Michael knew that's how Mafia's are and very soon he'll be like them.


'I'm here for business and to also tell you something you might not know." Michael spoke confidently to Fredrick.


Fredrick laughed out aloud when he heard what the young boy said to him.


'What does this child know about business?" Fredrick said to himself while looking at Michael's face.


'Business first." Fredrick replied to him. Michael smiled because he knows that the mafia's are always about business and nothing else concerns them.


Michael brought the bags to his front and pushed it closer to Fredrick.


Michael stood up from where he was sitting and opened both bags. Themis was an eye opener to Fredrick, he looked at Michael again and wondered where he got such an amount of money from.


He raised his hand and immediately one of his men rushed to his front.


'Check it." Fredrick said to the man and he checked the money till the down. He turned back to look at Fredrick and nodded his head.


Fredrick stretched his gun immediately. Michael was shocked because he never expected such a reaction from Fredrick.


'Boss, please calm down." Michael said to Fredrick and raised his two hands. Fredrick stood up from where he was sitting and moved closer to Michael.


'Who are you?" Fredrick asked Michael with the gun still pointed at Michael's head. Michael was wondering what would be the best thing to say to Fredrick, he can't tell him how his brother got the money because it might put him in a bigger mess.


But if he doesn't tell him a convincing story he might not live to see the outcome.


'Please calm down, I'll tell you who I am." Michael requested of Fredrick. Fredrick was even more pissed when he heard what because he felt Fredrick was already controlling him by telling him what to do and what not to do.


Fredrick raised the gun and shot it. Michael was shocked when he heard the gun sound. He realized Fredrick was not joking when he pointed the gun at him.


Michael closes his eyes and swallows his saliva nervously.


'I'm Michael and I work for Diego." Fredrick was shocked when he heard what Michael said, he lowered the gun and looked down , he saw the huge amount of money again.


'Did he send you here?" Fredrick asked Michael because he believed there is no way Michael will have such an amount of money especially if he is working for Fredrick.


'No, I'm here for my own business." Fredrick turned to look at the young boy again, he knew that there is definitely more to the money he is seeing on the floor.


'Why are you here, and how did you get such an amount of money?" Fredrick asked Michael to sit on the chair.


Michael was relieved when he saw Fredrick sit down. He sighed heavily, and turned to look at Fredrick.


'My brother and I worked for Diego, he killed my brother and when I brought my cousin he killed him too." Fredrick paused, lighting his smoke. When he heard what Michael said, he started laughing.


'How is your tragedy my business?" Fredrick said while laughing, Michael knew that Mafia's are very heartless and that's why Fredrick will not take his words emotional instead he'll laugh at it.


'That's the same thing he is about to do to you." Fredrick's laugh suddenly turned into a frown. He turned to look at Michael, immediately he picked his gun and was ready to pull the trigger on Michael's head.


'He has ordered for a thorough search on the whereabouts of your brother and he ordered that they should kill him on the spot." Michael spoke very well so that Fredrick could hear him out fast. He closed his eyes when he finished talking just in case Fredrick is not convinced and he decides to pull the trigger.


When his eyes were shut for some minutes he finally decided to open them.Michael was relieved when he opened his eyes and saw Fredrick sitting on the chair as the gun was on the floor.


'What do you mean by what you just said?" Michael sighed heavily, ready to reply to Fredrick.


'I just told you the truth, boss. If you don't believe me, you can try and find out the truth yourself." Michael said confidently to Fredrick.


Fredrick was completely down at this point, he felt betrayed by Diego but when he remembered the kind of things that they have done together he tried to convince himself that Michael is just speaking nonsense.


'How am I supposed to trust you?" Fredrick asked Michael, because he was still finding it hard to trust if what Michael is saying is the truth or not.


'I am someone Diego has made fatherless and without a brother or a cousin. Why will I come here and lie to you?" Michael said to Fredrick, sounding hurt. Fredrick is not a relationship man so he is never moved by anything emotional.


'You want revenge." Fredrick said to Michael, replying to the question Michael asked him about not being capable of lying to him.


'I will never lie just to take revenge at him." Michael tried to defend himself, but it was too late beca Fredrick had already made up his mind. Fredrick raised his hand and immediately his men rushed towards him.


'Take him away." Fredrick said to the men. Michael was struggling to get out of their grip but they were just too big for him.


'You'll be out when I find out you are telling the truth." Michael became calm when he heard what Fredrick said to him, he started wondering if he made a mistake or he did a good thing by telling Fredrick the truth.


He wasn't even sure if it's the truth because it's Richard that told him and he did not clarify it before coming to tell Fredrick about it.


'What if it's not the truth?" Michael asked himself and was thrown into a shabby room. He looked around the room, he suddenly started imagining himself growing old in such a place if it's not true that Diego is betraying Fredrick.


'What is wrong with me?" Michael asked himself and started hitting his face with his hand when he finally came back to reality, he was wondering why he is thinking he'll grow old in such a place.


'I'm sure it's the truth, Richard doesn't tell lies." Michael said to himself trying to feel better but his mind was saying something different.


Fredrick was still trying to think about what Michael said to him, he Astarte imagining the possibilities of Diego actually betraying him.


'Diego will never do such a thing." Fredrick said to himself that he raised his hand.


One of his men rushed towards him immediately, he gave the man a sign so he bent his head.


'Tell the secret agent to do a background search on who he is and where he is from." Fredrick ordered his man. The man walked away immediately then Fredrick raised his hand again.


Another bodyguard rushed towards him and the moment he saw the way Fredrick positioned his hand he bent his head to hear what Fredrick wanted to say to him.


'I want you to search on what that bastard told me, check if Diego really sent his men to search for Ronaldo and kill him on the spot." Fredrick ordered his man.


'Okay boss." The bodyguard replied to him and walked away immediately.


'Diego, Diego. I hope you are really innocent." Fredrick said to himself and put the smoke in his mouth. He lowered his head and picked the glass of wine on the table. He gulped the whole thing left in the glass.


He suddenly remembered he left his girlfriend in the room. He stood up immediately and started heading back to the room. Before he entered the room he remembered the eye signal his wife was giving the doctor.


And the moment he stepped out he heard the lock, meaning they locked the door so he wouldn't barge in.


Fredrick smelled something fishy going on between his doctor and his girlfriend, but he would prefer to catch her in the act.


Fredrick finally walked in after standing outside for a while.


He saw his wife laying on the bed, nothing changed in the dress she was wearing, the doctor also looked in perfect shape. Though his tie was not well. Fredrick smiled when he noticed this.


'How are you feeling now?" Fredrick asked his girlfriend the moment he walked in. His girlfriend stretched her body on the bed and turned to look at Fredrick.


'I'm feeling better." Fredrick's girlfriend said to him, sounding sick. Fredrick noticed the doctor was not feeling comfortable all he could do was just smile while looking at both of them.


'What's wrong with her doctor?" The doctor was shocked when Fredrick asked him the question, the shock was obvious to both Fredrick and his girlfriend. Fredrick's girlfriend was wondering why the doctor chose to act like a child.


'Are you okay doctor?" Fredrick asked the doctor nicely. The doctor was quiet. He was trying to act normal but he couldn't stop shaking.


'Yes, I-I'm fine, just a little clumsy." The doctor said to Fredrick while arranging his tools back into his bag.


'She will be fine before nightfall, these are just signs of pregnancy." Fredrick was shocked to hear what the doctor said to him. His girlfriend closed her eyes the moment she heard what the doctor told Fredrick.


Fredrick turned to look at her and. He noticed she already forced herself to sleep because she was awake a few minutes ago.


'Ohh good, I should be happy about that?" Fredrick said to the doctor in a form of question. Though Fredrick would have been happy but he wasn't sure if the baby is actually his or the doctor's.


Fredrick's girlfriend is a flirt as a cheat but one thing is sure that her baby does not belong to any other man than Fredrick. But Fredrick was no longer sure because he noticed there must be something going on between her and the doctor.


His girlfriend was listening to everything Fredrick was saying to the doctor and all she could pray for is that Fredrick is but suspecting there is something between her abs the doctor.


'I thought you should." The doctor replied to Fredrick. The doctor picked his bag from the table where he kept it as he was finally set to leave the house.


'Okay doctor, thanks for coming and for telling me the supposed good news." The doctor was shocked to hear the way Fredrick directed the news about his girlfriend being pregnant. The doctor smiled back at Fredrick while they were still shaking hands.


'Congratulations once again." The doctor said to Fredrick while they were still shaking hands. The doctor was suddenly finding it weird when Fredrick refused to release his hand.


It was all happening too fast and Fredrick was trying to put his head in one area, is it the case of The strange guy or Diego or the new case which seemed to be that of his girlfriend as the doctor.


He planned on making sure he finds out the truth.


'You too." The doctor was shocked and Fredrick finally released his hand. The smile on Fredrick's face could only prove one thing.
