Chapter 2
As if competing with the sound of the engine of his own Lamborghini, Axel roared with laughter at the top of his lungs , a feeling of accomplishment filled his heart . You would expect someone who just killed his own brother to at least fill shame or remorse but greed and inferiority had clouded his heart and mind
Axel looked at the seat besides him and saw the girl that had helped him triumph over his stepbrother ,he couldn't wait to get to his apartment , he was going to have his way with her tonight as a way to celebrate the victory. He had always hated his stepbrother, he had always blamed him for all the love he didn't receive from their father , it was his fault that their father and his mother were always fighting , if he had not been born things wouldn't have been like this. As if the gods had not mocked him enough by giving him a stepbrother ,the bastard son had been blessed with intelligence , charisma , manners and a face to match while he had been given nothing worth a second glance . This resulted in him living in the shadows of his little step brother , always being compared to his younger brother both at school and at home by the teachers and nanny's respectively had drove him to the edge . He was envious of the positivity and how people had always preferred Maverick over him as they got older.
He swore that he was going to destroy him one day , that day was today , he had finally fulfilled his goals and he was happy .A smile formed as he parked his car in the garage of the apartment , the apartment had been a gift from his uncle from his mothers side to celebrate his 21st birthday last year .It was a luxurious house near a hill , it had an artificial lake in the back. It was a house others could only dream about but it was not enough for Axel, he wanted more , that's why he even stole Maverick's inheritance and funeral insurance money that he got from his mothers lawyer when he turn 20 yesterday .He had the lawyer keep the money until he was older , he had done this under the guidance of his nanny . It was $40 million , Mavericks mom had been an orphan who had managed to make a name for her self in the financial world, she had enough money to live a stable life without worry
Axel looked at the bag full of cash and smiled to himself '' you got what you deserve you piece of shit''he said as Mavericks dying face flashed in his mind .Turning his attention to the beautiful girl coming down the stairs ,Axel smiled , a smile laced with desire . He took large strides towards Chloe , his hands were already itching to touch that body but before he could satisfy his itch the phone rang , The caller id showed 'Dad'. He stopped in his tracks and answered the call , a deep voice said '' come home now , your brother is dead '' and the call was dropped . He stood there in a daze trying to figure out how his father had already found out that Maverick was dead . Had his henchman failed to dispose the body properly , were they caught by the police , all these thoughts were having a marathon in Axels mind as he picked up his car keys heading towards the door. Right when he was about to exit Chloe called out asking '' what wrong? why are do you look down all of a sudden , is everything okay ?'' Axel just said '' everything is fine , get some rest , my father called me back to the main house ''. ''I will tell you later what its about and how it went '' he said all this without even turning to face Chloe . He went outside and slammed the door . Fear was the only emotion he felt right now .
Getting into his Lotus Emira , Axel drove to the main residence .The drive to the main house was 40 minutes at night but due to fear it took him an hour and ten minutes . As he approached the twin gates of the mansion they automatically opened and as if on queue street lights turned on shining bright indicating the driveway . He drove and parked his car next to Mavericks BMW i8 , looking at the car the hate in his heart arose once again ,after kicking the car and screaming in pain he got inside the house while limping. '' What wrong Axel? , what happed to your leg ? are you okay ?'' these were questions asked by his mother , she had always treated him like a baby , although he was embarrassed he loved the attention his mom gave him
Before he could answer his fathers voice rang through the corridors '' since everyone is here let the meeting begin '' Axel looked at his mother who was already walking ahead of him heading towards the meeting room and felt his heart drop to his stomach , he would be in trouble if people found out he is the killer so he had to be extra careful tonight. He followed his mother into the room and sat next to her . The silence in the room could drive any strong willed person insane. With a clear of his throat , Allan , Maverick and Axels dad said ''as I have told everyone here , Maverick is dead , it is believed that he committed suicide by jumping in to Han river, only his lower body parts were found and it looks like he was eaten by a crocodile ''
Axel had his hands covering the smile that was on his lips ''am going to pay them extra they have done a good job '' he thought of his henchman. His father continued saying '' since he committed suicide a funeral is waste of time , we shall burn the remaining corpse and pour the ashes in to Han river , that's all for the meeting , does anyone want to say anything?" . Axel was already putting to use the degree he had gotten ,he had studied acting . He was crying in the corner of the room . Nobody wanted to say anything ,so his father concluded this meeting
As the 'family' concluded the meeting little did they know that a seed for vengeance had already been planted and doom was on its way to destroy them .
