It was the day before going to school,I had packed all the necessary things needed but still felt my soul resisting, Switzerland was too far away, but I had no choice but to heed my father's words.
I don't even know why he chose Switzerland, but I guess I have no say.he does what he wants and say everything with no questions
My name is spade, and I'm being tossed away like I don't matter, someone will ask "why" and guess what, I no neither, my father is a business mogul, who travels around the world and I tag along most of the time but an associate's advice changed everything.
Mr Johnson,is a high profile and dangerous man in all ways, he's been friends with my family for decades. closer especially to my dad, he has four sons, with two currently living with his ex wife, because I had no mother, not that I had non, she passed away when I was five, so I use to spend all my holidays with his family, but because of how dangerous his and my dad's work is. We were mostly with armed men twenty four seven for protection.
For the safety of her sons, glade, Johnson's wife decided to go her separate ways with her son's, but she came to an agreement with Johnson and took only two away.
Taw and crude are Johnson's sons whom his wife, glade, left , they're older than I'm.
I always see myself as a tough person, because I'm able to throw punches, arrange guns and shoot.
Dad and I hunt down his preys when needs be,
So I feel I can do what both of them are doing, I already know the game.
It's tough
It's takes gut
It messy
That's what dad always says, you need to be dead to reality, because it doesn't exist. I won't say I understand what he meant by that, but I was always ready to move and learn, even when blood is spilt.
I know the ins and outs of guns, I have seen people shot and killed.
Tomorrow is the day I will be sent to Grace Mountain University in Switzerland, yes it is an all boys university.
The school only gives admissions to the children of presidents, millionaires and great people in society. It takes connections and more than money to be there.
At dawn, I crept into taw's study, and searched through his drawers. I wanted to delay going to Switzerland as soon as possible, I can't miss the fun of adventure with dad and Johnson.
The top drawer contains files of different colors, it shows he's indeed Johnson's son, they were well organized because that's what he taught his sons. Being organized makes you always ready for action and that's exactly what I saw in there.
The second, was locked, tried opening it and I heard the door click, I heard footsteps and the light got turned on.
I heard whispers, taw was with someone, I will be in big trouble if I'm found out. So I laid flat under the table and waited for him to get out.
Seriously I don't even know why I'm in his study, but I heard dad advising him to take it easy on the pills, when I came out of my room the other day, but taw just giggled and ran out of the hall.
I just needed something to weaken my body and help me fall sick real bad, the light got turned off again and I thought they were out, so I crept out of my hiding place, but then I heard sounds so I peeked.
Taw was on the sofa, and someone was on him, they turned off the light for their own privacy, the room was dim, so I couldn't see what was happening, but what I heard was definitely not child's play, the moans became louder, I heard taw groaning," what happening" all of a sudden, I got turned on" the fuck".
But before my mind went west, I heard loud banging and the light was back on. Someone entered the room, from the way they were arguing now, I realized they were all men,"woah" so I peeked from under the table.
Taw was in his boxer's and the other guy was totally naked and he was standing in-between the new guy and the naked guy, I think I have seen the guy who just entered before but I can't remember where, I heard the guy saying " is this the business trip you said, with that a punch landed on taw's face and he stumbled back, he tried holding him again, and he kicked him.
I think I had lost my chance to fall sick before morning, but as the banter was still on, Johnson entered and tried dragging the guy out, but he was resisting, and I heard Johnson say, Chris , let's talk outside, and they left. A minute later crune entered.
At that moment taw gave the naked guy a stare and he bolted out of the room with his clothes.
Crune just stared at him with a mocking face and left, a moment later my dad entered. My heart was beating in my chest because, even though my dad is friendly with taw, he sounded really scary and everything showed he was not to be messed with.
He went to taw and helped him sit on the sofa because he was kicked to the ground.
with a stern face. He said" we will be having a talk in the morning" and left, taw followed not long after he left.
I immediately went back to the reason I was in the study,
I went straight to the third drawer " and there it was" different kinds of pills with no labels, in coloured seals, I guess the owner knows which one to take when in the mood.
I took the white seal and took out four pills, tugged them in my pocket and went out, finally my mission was complete.
I heard loud talking from Johnson's study. I guess he's there with my dad, I raced to my room when I realized no one saw me.
Took my shirt off, sat on the bed and swallowed all the pills, with all the happenings of the night, sleep took it toil on me, and everywhere was black.
I heard my father shouting my name with emergency, he was in my room his hands in his pocket and was staring at me with a frown on his face, then asked if I was ok, he said" I have been standing here for five minutes and I have been calling you for several times now, what are you implying by not answering" I just stared at him with a blank face.
And then I realized, I was feeling normal, like every other morning.
Actually I should be sick right, I thought,
I should definitely be feeling weak right now, what is happening.
I should be vomiting or something, something should be happening, why am I feeling ok? Why is my head not aching?
With an annoyed face he shouted" what the hell is wrong with you? You think we have all the time to waste on you" check your fucking watch and see the time, 18 spade, you're 18 fucking years and you're wasting my time.
I looked at him seriously and rolled my eyes. I saw something shift in him,. scared I was,but I stood my ground and shouted back, dad what do you want me to do huh, you entered my room and started lecturing me!
I entered the washroom and banged the door.
I stared at my face in the mirror and said, I guess even drugs can't save me now.
When I entered my room my luggage was on my bed with Johnson and dad chatting beside my bed.
The moment I entered the room my dad moved towards me but Johnson held him.
He got out and left the door ajar.
So any girl to say goodbye to, Johnson asked, I shook my head, he tilted his head and smiled and said, I have been moving from one place to the other with you and dad I had no time for that, well he said, it is not late to start looking, you're 18 dude, or is your dad scaring you from it, i looked at him and laughed, when taw was 18 he was doing worse. As you fly to Switzerland, make friends and have fun yeah.
Your dad is looking out for you, everything he does is for your own good, but I don't want to go to Switzerland I said, he just forces things on me, I looked straight at Johnson and asked.
Did you do that to taw and crune, yes I did he responded, they needed to follow in my footsteps so I forced things on them too.
I just stared at him with a frustrated look, he held my shoulder and smiled, it's going to be alright.
And don't forget to kick anybody's ass when you're messed with huh, make them see reasons no one messes with the Domingo's yeah, I smiled and eyed him, your eyes are just like your father's, it's pierced the heart with just a look, and watch out because they're really bad boys just like you there.
I smiled, and we stared at each other with no words from Johnson again.
Dad, Johnson, taw,crune, with his other two sons, ramil and paw.
They were all accompanying me to the school, dad just gave me the stare and turned, and I don't give a fuck, I should be giving the stare and I should be sulking because all this school stuff is messing me up, why can't I school here but in Switzerland
All because I need to be in the midst of some annoying clique. The fuc…..
We took the jet and off, we left.
