Chapter 2 - Layla

Having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit or evasion , that's the textbook definition of cunning but if you ask me the real definition of cunning should be Drisyum de woodland.

That fucker is sitting behind me right now and all I want is to slit his throat in one go . Disfigure his oo soo handsome face to oblivion so no one will recognise him again and he would disappear from this world.

The problem is I can't do that because that fucking shit has a dozen of men standing to protect him against bodily harm. I am not even kidding , he has 12 bodyguard and I have none.

I am at The unknown , one of the most luxurious hotel globally . As the name suggest no one really know who own this 135 story building but a dinner here would cost you an arm and a leg . Most of the billion dollars dealings are here apparently the unknown provides the best secure environment for dealings legal or illegal.

In front of me a couple is dining . They look like in their honeymoon phase . A situation in which I will never find myself ever. Not that I am complaining. The day mama was murdered was the day i take an oath never to be involve in that type of shithole . Maya aka my best friend who like to think she is my mother have different opinion about this . I should fuck as much I like if I don't like the emotional stuff. Her words not mine .

Back to my current target Drisyum, 28 years old , the ceo of skyward wings, at six feet two he has a unnerving handsome face , some may think that he is an Hollywood star . As they say the most poisonous thing have the most beautiful face . Skyward wings is a unicorn in information and technology world and he is the youngest ceo in their history . He also happen to be the son of a murderer , Dean de woodland,who died last month and Drisyum became the ceo the exactly one day after his father's death. If you ask me i would say Drisyum killed dean. So here i am gathering any and every little information about Drisyum.

A red haired gourgous witness brought my white wine . Don't get me wrong but the unknown is full of beauties you would like to bang yet they follow no touching rule .

" Mr Luca , you should have known I don't do well with traitors . The moment you cross me , you also cross the line living world so you are supposed to be dead.'' Drisyum said in deep and monotonous voice that have no link any emotions .

I still at his threat. Is not it supposed to be a business meetings why I am witnessing a death threat .

"I am really very sorry Dris , he blackmailed me . Kidnapped my wife . Please don't do this to me . I was with your father's secretary for ten years . I was always loyal to him .'' Luca was downright pleading . Luca Meo was the secretary of dean . 57 year old with a loving wife and a son . As for how do I know , you can basically find every single thing on dark web.

"First of all do not call me dris . Second of all he did not kidnapped your wife . She cheated on you with him . you have 5 days to write a nice suicide note for your son and come to me at the end of the fifth day otherwise be ready for consequences .'' Drisyum said.

I can only listen to him as he is in my back . I guess his personality may be colder than Antarctica in winter. A sudden commotion took place in my back so I gulp my wine in one go and get ready to leave. Maybe I lost my mind thinking about how to kill Drisyum so as soon I started to leave I collided with a chair so hard that I injured one of my toes. The most important point here is this is the exact chair Drisyum was sitting. Who the hell leave the chair in the middle of walking area .

When i recover from the pain Drisyum was gone with all his bodyguards . I sit besides Luca and ask him "can i help you '' i kid you not his pale face change into more shades of pale hearing my words.

Luca said " I know you have been listening our conversation.all persons who went against a woodland are already extinct . Do not do anything young lady just leave me be '' I was shocked hearing this. I have never been spotted during my investigation. Perhaps Luca knew me but question is why . Not how did he knew me it's why did he know me . Before I could ask anything he excused himself and I take a mental note to again run a background check on Luca.

What I am even doing . I lean on the chair still in subtle pain , images of my mom flooded in my thoughts . Mom and i are not really very close but she was the only family I had .father died in a car accident when i was three. Mom worked in skyward wings .I move out to London at 21 when I got an job offer from a cyber security company and she stayed in France .mom wanted to visit me for my 25th birthday Last year . But never made it to London.she was murdered in her own apartment which later ruled out as suicide . I know because mom is not a suicidal person. She was most likely an accidental type, too hotheaded for suicide . The last person she was involved with was dean . She mentioned she was seeing him . After her death I moved back to France dealt with the funeral and started my own investigation . For nine months I have been working in a café which is owned by maya . Now it's time to carefully inflict skyward wings.
