Vicious Dynamite

Vicious Dynamite

“come in” King allowed the person outside the room as he placed a batch of white papers aside and looked up to see who knocked on the door. The door opened and in came Charlton with his usual stoic features.

“Mickey is here King” he informed and the side of the king’s lips lifted a little.

“well…..I guess the wait is over…..” he said gesturing his right-hand man to bring the boy inside. Charlton went back and after a second he returned with Mickey. the boy looked kind of thrilled and King might have guessed what the reason was.

He had news.

“King!....the grey-haired man is….” Mickey started as soon as he entered the room. His eyes showed excitement and adrenaline as he tried to deliver the most breaking news to the crime lord.

“Wren Christopher……foster parent of your soulmate…..I know” King completed the sentence, interrupting Mickey, and the boy looked at the older shocked. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung open which was supposed to deliver the news he worked his ass on.

Did King already know this?

“how….how did you know this?” he asked still bewildered about the sudden revelation from the mafia boss.

Well, the crime lord wasn’t a crime lord for fun. He was a mixture of a wicked brain, strong intellect and bravery. That man has served his time in learning people and their intentions along his age and he knew his people better than anyone.

“how do I know this?.....Hmmmm~” King hummed while circling the table and then standing in front of the desk while leaning his body back on the hard surface.

“let’s get something straight…” King started and both Charlton and Mickey looked at him expectantly.

“an orphan boy named Edward Mago was adopted at the age of six by a man named……” King started and pointed his pen towards Charlton.

“Wren Christopher” Charlton completed and King nodded.

“….also known as Chris.” King continues

“The man gets a hold of my boy and controls him through his life. He cut short his every wish and need so that he can have absolute control over him until he turns eighteen only to….?” King left his sentence again and pointed the pen at Mickey

“only to make him marry Jana…..his own son” Mickey completed and King nodded again.

“Exactly…” King agrees going back slowly towards his chair and dropping his weight on it.

“it was until the talk of marriage stirred up and my boy decided to run away” King supplied and the other two listened carefully.

Things were starting to form a story.

“my baby runs away and unfortunately for Chris and fortunately for me…..” the crime lord stated...

“…that brat landed in the most feared mafia boss’s arms” Charlton chirped from the corner with an enthusiastic smile and King raised his eyes to look at him in the eye making him gulp his excitement down.

They were in the middle of a serious talk.

“and Mr Chris lost my baby to king” Mickey stiffened his laugh seeing the two of them locking eyes before he placed his own point.

King wanted to point out about the ‘baby’ thing but he refrained from it knowing how much it would hurt the soulmates and maybe his ears too when Mago would be the one filling them with accusations and curses.

Nobody wants the wrath of that small, vicious dynamite.

“Correct. The crime lord happily gets the boy and things slow down for a while…..” King stopped for a second, swirling his pen between his fingers, before continuing

”…..then the boy turns eighteen which means he is eligible for marriage as well as those diamonds” King listed another fact and Mickey nodded along, now having a clear understanding of things.

“the diamonds that are worth more than eighty-nine billion as per my research” Charlton added earning a shocked look from Mickey.

That was a lot of money….Damn!

“Now that the boy is with King, is it possible for Wren Christopher to come against me?” King asked with a challenging brow up. He knew nobody could challenge him.

“no way” Mickey muttered loud enough for others to hear.

“That’s right…” King smiled in triumph.

“when he couldn’t come against me for my boy, he turns to look for someone with authority who can help him and who is in the same circle as me…….the circle of mafia.” The crime lord stated and leaned his head back on the chair.

Narrating your thoughts is a tiring job.

Both Charlton and Mickey were now getting close to where the king was leading them. They had expectant expressions on their faces as they listened to what the king was saying.

The mafia boss was so calm and his demeanour was relaxed while he exposed the dirty secrets of Wren Christopher regarding his baby boy and his selfish history.

“then he comes across an underboss. A man who is involved in the mafia business more than the mafia boss.” King continued as he nipped at the end of the pen with his teeth.

“the man promises to help Wren in order to get the boy from my grasp but in return for some favours…….the favours of leading the rebel groups and shooting rats in between my men.” By now, King had a serious expression on his face. He was more invested than before since the ending was close.

“Wanna guess who that man is?” King asked looking at both Mickey and Charlton.

“Kangsu!” they replied together in a heartbeat and the voice of their answer boomed in the quiet office.

King flinched and then glared at them both for a loud shout.

He was tired from all day activities and wanted to end his night in peace and so a single ‘tick’ was getting on his nerves.

Mickey looked at King sheepishly while Charlton cleared his throat to divert his attention.

“so in conclusion, it is Wren Christopher aka Mr Chris who is after my baby boy and those diamonds” King sighed as he picked a glass from his side table and poured himself a pink bubbly alcohol.

“but Mr Chris didn’t know about the diamonds as far as I know” Mickey pointed out and King shook his head.

“There are many years to know about these diamonds Mickey. But that man knew it all along since it was the reason he adopted my baby in the first place. Otherwise, why would he adopt a child when he already had two of his own?” King questioned and Mickey nodded his head in understanding but then again he perked up with another query.

“then why was he so adamant about the marriage? He could have raised them like siblings but he didn’t do that instead he always told Mago that he was to marry Jana. He could have forced Mago to give him the diamonds” Mickey asked.

“it could be because one, my baby is beautiful and second, he wouldn’t even spare a penny from his pocket let alone billions to that Chris guy” King answered.

Mago can undoubtedly be bad when he needs to.

It was Mickey who wanted to point out about the ‘baby’ thing this time but he refrained from it knowing that it could cost him his life.

“the best way to keep the money in the family is to marry the boy to his son” Charlton placed his opinion and the room went quiet all of a sudden.

An awkward silence followed for a minute or two before King started again.

“Kangsu was behind the rebel groups and we had a hunch about it from the start, but now that the facts and figures are clear…….. let us organize a meeting within the close circle and in my personal headquarters,” King ordered and Charlton noted it down on his tab.

“anything for me?” Mickey asked

“you did a great job Mickey, I am really content with your work…..just follow them more closely because it is going to get difficult” King predicted and Mickey raised his both brows in confusion.

king grasped his confusion and sat up straight to explain.

“Wren Christopher will go underground as soon as the meeting is announced and Kangsu will try to hide everything he has been working on….so stay open-eyed and watch them carefully” Mickey understood the assignment and stood up to leave only to stop in his tracks when he heard king at his back.

“and if that boy makes you uncomfortable more than you can handle………talk to me and he will not see the daylight again” A shiver ran down Mickey’s spine knowing very well who the king was talking about and he left the room with quick steps.

Jana was under the king’s radar and Mickey was being watched as well.

“anything about Enzo Parker?” King asked finishing his drink in a go.

“nothing other than we had earlier…..he has almost vanished from the scene like he never existed” Charlton reported and King nodded his head.

“he was probably an important man. Look more into it. I have a feeling my boy is related to him in some close way” Charlton listened carefully and then he hesitated before speaking.

“uhhmm king?” he called and the crime lord raised his head to look at Charlton nonchalantly.

“uhmmm……Mr Xavier has requested your presence at the dinner hall tonight……he asked politely” Charlton informed already knowing the reaction from his boss.

Politeness from Mr Xavier meant an order in the household.

“ah!.....you can leave” and Charlton did without any word.

“fuck!” King cursed downing another drink down his throat and stood up from his place to get to the said dinner table on time.

……….

Mago was seated beside King at the dining table along with others. But for the past two minutes, he was wiggling constantly. When King finally turned to look in his direction, he found the boy trying hard to reach the spoon at the far end of the table without putting any real effort.

He was doing it on purpose.

Then a pout followed towards King and he rolled his eyes before stretching his hand towards the bowl and then filling Mago’s plate with dried pasta.

The room was filled with clattering sounds, everyone in the dining room was quietly eating except for Mago.

The boy spilt the second glass of water on the table and ruined his (king’s) shirt in the process but still, nobody said a word and the mess was cleaned silently.

The silence was broken with a sweet voice.

“don’t go anywhere Rowan, I made dessert for all of you” Jayce announced as he left the dinner table to saunter over to the kitchen.

Mr Xavier looked at his son and then at Mago who was trying to stab three chicken pieces in one tooth of the fork. The old man laughed silently before he dusted his hands off gaining the king’s attention.

“how about a drink at my favourite spot……will have a small chat” the old man offered which was polite and starlight.

King nodded his head in affirmation and just then Jayce entered the room with a tray full of differently decorated dessert glasses.

He placed them one by one in front of everyone present at the table and then clasped his hands together for them to start.

Mago dug in quite suddenly only to choke when the cold content clogged his throat. King rolled his eyes and patted his lover’s back to make him better and Mago returned a toothy grin.

“This is good” Mr Xavier complemented and Jayce turned pink, a little shyly but King didn’t buy that act. He waited until his boyfriend was licking the bowl clean and then snatched him from his chair.

“I will meet you in ten minutes’ Father” King announced and dragged a confused-looking Mago with him, leaving his bowl of sweetness abandoned.

…………..

These were rare moments but the king loved them by heart. He and his father were seated on the balcony at the top of the manor and were enjoying a glass of liquor with the cold wind that flew by.

“what’s on your mind……?” the old man asked as he paced closer to the balcony wall from which he could look down.

The sky was dark with the swift breeze. It was a great view with calming silence and his beloved son beside him.

“Nothing much other than salvaging the damage that has been done to the warehouse and the products” King replied briefly following his father to the wall.

“Hmmm.” Mr Xavier didn’t reply but looked down at his husband who was sitting on the big couch at the end of the beautiful garden with the lights illuminating his surroundings.

It was after a while that the older of them turned towards the king and placed his hand over his shoulder.

“I have heard you have been looking for someone?” Mr Xavier shot the lead to the main discussion and King sighed in response.

Mr Xavier was well aware.

“…yeah but that man is beyond underground somewhere….even Charlton couldn’t find him” King explained and Mr Xavier raised his brow in concern.

At a distance, they could hear some yelling and some very cute giggles that belonged to their lovely addition to the family. It was really refreshing to hear and see someone hyperactive inside those dull walls.

“come fucking on Chalrieee!!!!!” they both heard the loud voice and looked down to find Mago running in his baggy clothes as he passed by a taken aback Jayce who had his mouth open and his book on the ground.

King could already imagine Charlton rolling his eyes and reluctantly following Mago and he was right when Charlton came into view at a snail's pace.

Mr Xavier laughed softly and turned to look at his son again.

“He is a literal ball of fluffiness………I already cannot imagine our home without him” he commented and King felt proud of his choice.

Mago was his and his alone.

“he makes me keep going with his constant whining and creative needs” King smiled remembering the cute moments they had shared.

“I am glad you have found someone like him. I was so devastated when you resigned yourself from finding love again after your last partner” Mr Xavier patted at king’s shoulder warmly.

King had a past where after a while in a relationship with his lovers, his partners would do something so typical and then magically vanish from planet Earth and that made Mr Xavier worried for his son.

But that’s a secret not willing to come out right now.

“So….who is he?” Mr Xavier asked straightening himself.

“Some Black Panda or something” King said not really interested in the man since he had been so difficult to find.

“Black Panda?......you mean Enzo Parker?” Mr Xavier asked and the king snapped his neck to his father.
