Chapter 8: The criminal world
Bloom was gardening in one of the garden. The maids were looking after her. Zeek came there, he was watching her gardening. The maids looked at him and greeted him. Bloom saw him and approached her, he asked her to not do these works but Bloom refused saying she have nothing to do. "You caged me after all" she said with little smile on her face and shrugging off her shoulder. "That's your call, I gave you permission to go out and you breached my limit" he saw Bloom's eyes after when he said this, hey eyes shows how hurt she is. He sighed "i came here to tell you I'm going to city, there's a mission." Her face looked dull and she looked at him. Though he was the most feared man but still she was scared. "When are you going?" "Tomorrow morning " "when will you be back?" " I don't know " he muffled, she nodded knowing very well that her husband comes from a mafia world. He signed everyone to leave. It was just them . He sat on the ground and pulled her, he laid down putting his head on her lap. Bloom was softly stroking his hair. "Will you miss me?" "Yes,you?" "No, I will have your photo with me, so my obsession will not get over." He teased her and she just looked at him softly. He caresed her cheeks saying sweet words. They stayed like that for awhile.
Bloom, who's confused about herself. Is she fine living with a person who killed her friends. She did loved him and that feeling can't end. But him, he is different of what she thought of. She is scared of him seeing hurt but and she also can't live with a murderer. She had a lot in her mind. Her mind was blowing up by these thoughts everyday. Whereas zeek, he was busy in fighting with his rivalries. Whenever he get any scratches, his mind process her. Her face in front of his eyes. The scratches, wounds are going to break them apart. And he can't die or let himself hurt because she is somewhere waiting for him, to come home safe and sound. He let out a soft chuckle when his mind said home. He never had home though he owns a few mansion and a palace and many penthouses but nothing was home for him. His home is with her.
War has been keeping him from her for days and so he thought to end it for good. The rivals were already defeated because of out of numbered armers. "Let's end this, Lee. You're out of numbered. And should stop your actions or I'll take down your territory for good." Zeek said and Lee who has a mark under his left eye, as if he got scared by something very long ago and the never left him. Lee looked at him with rage but he knew he can't defeat him, he sighed and replied "fine, but you will not get into my business, deal?" "Don't be absurd Lee, your work hurts normal people, I am here to stop you from doing that, if you won't stop hurting normal innocent people, then be ready to see the real Beast" zeek spoke not agreeing with Lee's word. "We're gangsters, our work hurts people in any circumstances. And no, they're not innocent people out there, they're the reason we work in this world. They left us when we need them, when we needed shelters, we were innocent too. But only this world accepted us, took us in." Lee spoke with his hatred towards the world. Well, Lee was an orphan, he was 8 years old when his parents left and his uncle and aunt only used him for source of income. And one day he left them, tired of their abusive action wheather it's physically or verbally. He met a man who worked in criminal world. He adopted him and raised him and now Lee is his heir. Heir of Bloodwell crew. "Then i have to take down the Bloodwell". Said Zeek "Fine, i won't hurt innocent people. I repeat innocents. If I find someone not innocent, i won't show mercy on them" Lee agreed on zeek's words and they made deal.
The war ended between them. It was easy peasy for Zeek. "Sir you've a TMG in Sicily" said Isaiah his trusted man. The same Isaiah who Bloom imagined in her hallucination the other day. They know eachother and are in good terms. TMG is Top Mob Gathering which happens every year by every mob bosses at their place. This year, zeek held it in Sicily. Top Mob bosses from every corner of world would be their. Zeek was frustrated of being away from Bloom. He didn't Even contacted her in awhile. It's been 2 month she's away from him. But to let anybody know about her, he stopped himself from calling her. He switched off his phone since 2 month. And so do his men aswell. He reached airport and boarded his private jet taking off to Sicily.
The place was already guarded and things were under control. The place was huge for the gathering, the first thing was a meeting that happen every year to make deale that can make peace in criminal world.
The meeting room was filled with top mob bosses and their trust guards. A car halt outside the place and zeek came out. He straightly went inside to the meeting room.
The door swung open, and he entered with Isaiah. "I see the top notch young mob is quite late" said one of the mob boss. "We're getting out on time, shall we stop this and proceed with the meeting" a very old man spoke who sitted on a wheelchair, he must be around 80. "Sure, Mr.Blackwood" said the mob boss who just picked on zeek. Zeek went to his seat and sat. "I heard, that you were in a war with the Bloodwell crew, why?" Mr. Blackwood asked zeek, mr. Blackwood is the senior here. He is the king of the Blackwood gang. He rule blackwood. And is very dominant and powerful among them even zeek. "The Bloodwell crew were doing things which I don't appreciate, and had to give them a lesson, i guess Mr.Lee is not going to join here today" zeek spoke. "I'll be here at the place of Mr. Lee, his trusted man" said Mr. Lee's trusted man. They nodded and another boss asked "You might create a war, stop meddling in others business" said The Boss of The Serpent to zeek for his war. "My father never wanted the criminal world to kill innocents, you can do your illegal business but don't put innocents in it." Zeek replied to him boldly. "Illegals are always harmful for everyone and everything, it would be better if you understand early" said the boss of The Serpent. And zeek replied "Yeah, I am aware of this but killing family to family making kids orphan is that what you do. You know what people and kids will be like Mr.Lee, and who knows if they can find somebody that can norture them in a good way. You're making problems for us by hurting innocent who are not from our world and letting cops catch us with evidence" He added more into it "if I see any thing that is not good for world or us and especially me, You.will.see.The Beast." The beast is zeek's calling name in the criminal world. He is known as The Alpha of Black Accord. "Ok, enough, let's just say, The Alpha of Black Accord you better not come in anyone's business and others don't create problem for us --for criminal world. It's going to problem you guys aswell" said Mr. Blackwood and left from the meeting. The others left too.
"Let's go Palace" he came out of the building and commanded Isaiah.
It's night already, he landed at the island, and took his car to drive to the palace. Reaching there, he felt weird. Went to main door of the palace and pushed the door and no body was there. Silence was killing him for some reasons. He went to his room "BLOOM" Isaiah who was standing downstairs near the stairs heard him , he looked up and ran upstairs. He saw zeek standing in his room "How?" He turned to Isaiah and pulled his collar "how did she ran?" He screamed his lungs out. "I was with you Alpha" "where are they?" He asked him and called everybody who was present in the palace. The bodyguards, and servants. He enquired them. And no body has the audacity to say anything but the main maid spoke. "Sorry sir, she died after 1 month of your departure" he looked at her "are you kidding me? She ran away, you all helped her running away and saying she died. How can you this word for her, she can't die." His anger could kill anybody this moment and no one can calm his anger. "Sur, she fell from her balcony, we took her hospital and after a night the doctor declared her dead, we didn't helped her running she died trust us" he looked at her and put his gun on her forehead. "You're lying ".
