A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

145 The First Target

Rex Treshvire stormed into his voice-proof office and slammed the door shut. He didn’t want Marissa to see him in his most terrifying state. His weak eyes were bloodshot, his ears were red as though they were puffing out steam and his breathing was deep and heavy.

Although he expected a few stakeholders of his empire to be disappointed by his decision, he never thought that Rodriguez Sacramento would dare oppose and try to kill Leon and his wife.

“So this bloody fool has been pretending all this while so that he can remain in my good books?” Rex thought aloud. “He dares make a move on my son and brother! Oh... Rodriguez, you are a dead man.” He spat out angrily.

Rex picked up his phone and dialed Leon’s number.

“Hello dad, how are you today?” Leon said in a cheerful tone.

“I’m doing great, son.” Rex could pick up the masked pain and anger in Leon’s voice. He took in a deep breath to regain his calm demeanor before speaking.

“How is Ella doing?” Rex asked in a slightly piqued voice. He was angry at himself that his daughter-in-law had to be dragged into the family mess.

“She is doing great, dad,” Leon replied in a placid tone.

“You can drop the act and talk to me son,” Rex frowned. “I’m aware that Rodriguez made a move on you and your wife. Max told me everything.”

.....

“That shouldn’t bother you, dad, I’m going to make Rodriguez pay for everything he has done.” Leon’s tone was vengeful. ” I will slowly cripple him until he hates life and offers his head to me.”

“Good!” Rex smiled. “I trust you! Nonetheless, It hurt me so much that I have placed such a great responsibility on your shoulders. This was never my intention for you at this time in your life. I’m very sorry for what happened to Ella.”

“Dad, don’t talk like that,” Leon rebuked his father in a calm tone. “I do not have one regret about being your successor. Rather, I see it as a huge honor and privilege to fit into your shoes. Thanks, Dad, for believing in me.”

“You are welcome, son,” Rex smiled. “I will be traveling to Islafub with your mother in the coming week. My time is almost up and I can feel it in my bones.”

Leon sighed out loud but said nothing.

Rex also sighed and continued speaking. “I would love for you and your sister to be around when I finally say goodbye to the world. I doubt if I would live up to two weeks. My body is failing me terribly and your mum is already picking up signs.”

“Shit!” Leon’s tone was deep and heavy with emotions. “Dad, please do me this one last favor. When you notice that things are going out of hand, inform me. I would like to be beside you until you take your last breath.”

“Thank you, son,” Rex’s eyes lit up with a heavenly smile. “You’re the best son any father could ever ask for and I love you with all my being.”

“Thank you, dad! I love you more!” Leon’s broken voice conveyed his pains and deep emotion. Take care of yourself and give my kisses to mum.”

“I will! Take care of yourself and please, always keep Ella safe.”

“Okay dad, bye!”

The line clicked and Rex sank into his seat and dropped his phone on the table.

When he observed that his head was aching unusually, he quickly took a glass of water with some aspirin. However, this did not stop his banging head.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp and excruciating pain in his chest. He winced and bit down his lips to stifle the pain but it became worse with every passing second.

Feeling an imminent danger, he quickly sent a message to his doctor, instructing him to speedily come over. He gently massaged his aching chest and tried to stand up, but his feet felt frail under his weight. His eyes were spinning and he noticed that his vision was getting blurry.

When he tried to stand up one more time, all the energy in his body evaporated like water into thin air. This led to a heavy thud as his body came crashing on the ground with his head banging on the edge of the table.

Thanks to Leon’s men of the underworld’s research and Maxwell Treshvire’s input, Leon got the location of all of Rodriguez Sacramento’s family members location. He made the necessary arrangements and sent three of his best assassins to take down their first target. The three assassins were made up of two males and a beautiful but lethal female.

For his first target, Leon choice was Rodriguez’s second son, Alberto Sacramento; who was currently having a night pool party at one of his father’s luxurious hotels in Fina city.

Rodriguez’s first three sons were the apple of his eye. He carried them along in all his business both good and bad. If they were not discreetly pushing drugs and weapons, they would be managing some of their father’s legitimate businesses.

Just like their father, all three sons love to party hard and frolic with a lot of girls.

Rodriguez’s second son, Alberto, was the life of any party. He drank a lot, smoked a lot, and partied hard. Whenever he was in the company of girls, they were either dressed in bikinis or totally nude.

The minimum number of girls that accompanied Alberto for any outdoor functions was usually between twenty and thirty beauties. While those that slept in bed every night were within the range of eight to ten. He was a champion at devouring the female folk.

Whenever Alberto was asked how he manages to satisfy ten ladies in one night, he would say; ‘sex is like money, only too much is enough.’

After a successful drug deal; which led to millions of dollars being made, Alberto decided to throw a night pool party at one of his father’s luxurious hotels.

The party was open to only girls who were ready to get drunk and have some fun. Aside from Alberto’s male click of friends, no other guy was invited.

Girls in their tempting and flirtatious bikinis arrived in their numbers. Amongst them, was a beautiful brunette assassin, with hazel eyes and a seductress body.
