91 His Struggle 1

Life is really full of twist and turns. It sometimes good and sometimes bad but what could a man do when he's driven to a corner?

***

Country X, present day.

A man in an all black suit is currently sitting at his office table while looking at the text message that was sent to him from country A.

A small smile appear on his face that added an allure to his handsome appearance.

After reading the message, he pressed the delete button and stared at the photo beside his name plate.

The picture contained four people, a woman and three men. The woman and the older man sat down on the chair and had a regal smile on their faces. Then behind them is the two handsome young men who's smiling from ear to ear. The picture gives off a harmonious family vibe but while looking at it, he could not help but scoff. To him, it's all hypocrisy, such harmonious family did not exist in his cruel world.

He clearly remembered the day he found out the truth about his family.

He maybe young at that time but could understand things better than anybody else. It was also because of it, he rebelled and he was led astray. He chose to be like that and his young self was not that ignorant of how things work in the adult world.

He chose to rebel than to be with his family that's full of darkness but his decisions put him to where he is right now. That day, Leonard Lincoln ceased to exist and was thought to be long dead. He was grateful for the organization to stage his death and escaped from it without any scratch.

As he is staring at the old photo in his hands, a great amount of disgust he shows towards the two men in the photo whereas, he could only look at his mother's face with great longing.

He put down the frame and proceeded to his work because his company is branching out to Country A and the organization wanted him to because of Lyndon Lincoln.

He had been thinking about the woman he broke her heart and a cruel smile appeared on his face. It was like he was bound to make that woman cry even more. He is lost in his thoughts again and a knock came from the outside of his office door.

"Come in."

"Sir, your meeting is rescheduled again by the L&L Empire. They said the have better proposals than us." a male voice said in a soft and mild tone. He was working with him since day one of this company and he knew that his boss is dead set of partnering with L&L Empire.

Hearing this, he could not help but crumple the paper that he's currently signing and then glared at his assistant. The young man could only bow his head down and did not dare to look at his boss' eyes. He dared not to look at those cruel eyes because he felt that any minute, his soul would leave from his body. The room's temperature became hotter than it's normal temperature. He could not help but wipe his sweating forhead while looking at his boss with fear.

He had been thinking of ways on how he will make them pay back because of what they did to him. He could only sneer on his insides as the words of his assistant echoed down on the back of his mind repeatedly.

He maybe not so wealthy and diversified with the things of the business world but he knew how the underworld works. He clearly knew how things run in his world.

Being shut out by them is another way of increasing his hate towards them and he could not wait to bring them down, especially Lyndon.

He clenched his fist and gritted teeth to show his anger. He could not forgive them for what they did to him.
