Layla stood in front of seven - Angels private hospital. She walked in and soon found herself before her doctors office after informing the person behind the counter about her appointment. A gold colored plaque was placed on the door with " DR TODD " Written in bold. She then opened the door and walked in.
" Ah!! Layla, we haven't seen for a long time ", a beautiful middle aged woman could be seen behind her laptop working.
" Mrs Todd, I hope your doing well ", she asked, her eyes bright.
" Yes I am but... I should be asking you that question. How have you been feeling dear ". She asked sounding very concerned.
" Let's just start with the tests please ", she replied avoiding the question.
" Sure ".
After a few hours, Layla returned to the mansion. She walked into the building and went up to her room then she shut the door behind her.
" Where have you been?? ", Layla jumped in fright at the sound of Atticus's voice. She turned to see him sitting at the edge of the bed. He had a poker face on but she could see the rage in his eyes. He was clearly angry but she couldn't reveal where she had gone to so decided to remain silent staring at her feet.
" I asked you... where have you been ", he asked again, this time his voice more tense. She was scared but didn't dare show it and replied with silence. Having enough, Atticus stood up and pinned her to the wall.
" You dont want to tell me... I gave you orders not to leave the house but you some how managed to disobey them, are you forgetting you're a slave?? You're below even the grounds keeper but you dared to disobey me? ". he said, his tone being as mean and dominant.
Layla stood there shivering, she knew this man could kill her if he wanted, she noticed it in his eye. One of his emotions were murder. Tears rolled down her cheeks but she dared not to make a sound.
He could see she was petrified but he didn't care at the moment. she dared to disobey him, unheard of!
" I-im sorry master",she finally said. He stepped away from her.
" You'll be punished for your disobedience ", he said as he left the room. Once she saw he was gone she fell to her knees. Too scary! She didn't know if she hated him or feared him, all she could do was sit there.
Atticus walked into his room then suddenly he punched a wall. He dug his fists out from the newly formed hole in the wall, he couldn't understand why he was so angry. This girl actually got him this angry and he actually spared her? but why? He remembered the look on her face, her eyes showed emotions of someone who had been through it all. He calmed himself as he heard his phone ringing. He picked it up.
" Speak ", he said bluntly.
" sir, the goods have arrived. Awaiting your commands ", the man on the other end said.
" Inform our clients that their goods are available. Let them transfer the money to the accounts before you supply it to them ".
" Yes sir "
Atticus cut the call and sat on a chair as he stared into space. His phone rang again, already annoyed he picked it up.
" Who is it? ", He asked, his voice cold, he was obviously vexed.
The man on the other end of the line could sense he was pissed. " S- sir, Naoxing group is making trouble for us, they say we're invading in on their territory ".
Atticus sneered, I guess because we're a new mafia group. Anyways, this was a good way to vent frustration, " I'll be right there ", he cut the call and leisurely strolled out of the house.
+++++
Somewhere in the outer district of Country V, a base could be seen. Jeeps, bikes and a limo could were parked in a distorted manner in front of the base. Atticus drove in to this scene and got out of the car.
" Who are you ", he casually asked the man that stood out from the vehicles, his hands in his pocket. They saw this and erupted into laughter, beginning to mock him.
" Who does he think he is? "
" He's too little to ask who we are "
" Maybe he isn't from around here "
Their words of ridicule fell on deaf ears, to Atticus, he couldn't be bothered. A hand was raised among the crowd causing everyone to become silent.
A man soon walked forward and faced Atticus, " We're Naioxing group and you're on our turf ", The man said waiting for a reaction from Atticus but got nothing.
Atticus looked at the man and see if he were looking at a fool. The man saw this and became enraged. " Do you know who we are?!? " the man hollered, " We're the second strongest mafia group in the southern district of Country V ".
" So? but you're not the strongest, I'll give you till the count of five to get lost ", Atticus said with a calm voice. The men began to laugh.
" What a joke! "
" Does he plan on fighting all of us? "
" What a nut job, He's completely alone ".
It was true. The Naoxing group had blocked all the entrances to the base, both front and back so none of Atticus's men could get out. Furthermore, Atticus came alone since it was a last minute trip.
" One....", Atticus counted.
" Ha! he was serious ", the man , Gary, laughed. He sized Atticus up. He had a good physique but was still too lean. Unlike him and his men who were burly and keen in street fighting.
" Two .... three "
" Since who wanna court death, I'll gladly let that happen but rest assured, it won't be quick ", Gary said. " Boys, break his limbs!! ".
" Yes sir!! ", the men choruses before charging towards Atticus.
" Four.... Five ", suddenly Atticus disappeared from where he was standing.
" !!!! "
" Where did he .... Arghhh!! "
" Aaaahh!! "
" Arghhh "
The men let out shrieks as they fell to the ground with either broken wrists or limbs. Gary's eyes widened in shock as his men rolled on the in pain. Atticus was simply to fast!!
