Chapter 13: Knowing everything

Motto: know the past to understand a person's reaction to all situations

I finally reached my daughters 21st birthday party. It was decorated for a prime and I enjoyed the dances. As I got in Jasmine was in her pink dress and dancing closely with Tom Matalon.

He was a 21 year old UWI Mona School of Business Graduate. He held a Bachelor's in Business & Marketing Management. But to my knowledge he had no job.

His father was the Founder/CEO of Matalon Construction Group, Michael Matalon.

It was a big time construction company. It had built the Port Royal Marina & Cruise Ship port last year. They won the contract over Anderson Construction & Engineering Group. With their constant building projects they had a 5 star rating.

Then again you were a crime boss and drug laws how hard would it be to get a few contracts. His company was a front for the Cuban Mafia. Tom was my daughter's boyfriend. But I never liked how he was dancing with my daughter.

As I was about to go kick his ass Cristina held me and said, "Babe tonight is your daughter's birthday party. Cut her some slack and let her live her life. One night! That's all I ask."

I exhaled, calm down and said, "I am doing this because I love you. Other that I would have leveled this whole building."

"I know," she said as he guides my hands to her ass.

Then she kissed me. She then pulled me to the dance floor. There I had fun with her. Then I went home and had sex with Cristina. We partied under the stars. After the party we were cleaning up and Jasmine came to me and Cristina.

She then said, "Mom and Dad! A few of my friends are going to Port Royal night beach."

"Hell no," I quickly said to her.

"I promised I would be home by 10," she said before kissing me.

I then exhaled as she left.

Cristina then said, "Nick she is a grown woman. Let her live her life."

"I have never gone to night beach. But this girl is going," I quickly told her.

Cristina exhaled and said, "Should I pull up my dress and show you my scar. And might I remind you that we went skinny dip pinning in Port Royal Beach.

And I if I remember correct before Cristina was five we went to beach every Sunday. And, you taught her how to swim."

"OK! I did do that," I replied to smile.

Cristina then said, "OK. So let's go home and you can make love to me."

"OK. But we are going to Chestnut this Friday," I replied to her as I hugged her.

"Really I have never been. Oh wait do we get make love under the stars," she asked and I kissed her.

I then exhaled and while looking at hero asked, "Why did I wait 20 years to see you?"

"Because you were too busy chasing hookers and dumb sluts to notice my assets. But they are everything and more. You testified to that," she told me as she walked off.

I whistled as I saw her ass.

"Word up bro," replied Demarco Simmons, the CEO of Simmons Productions, as he stood beside me.

I exhaled and said, "OK I finally took your advice. And it seems I was missing out bro."

"And you put a fat rock on her finger. I say you are capitalizing on the moment," he replied as he sipped his cocktail.

I saw it and asked, "How the hell did you get a cocktail at my daughter's birthday party?"

"I would tell you but I would have to kill you," he replied and I chuckled.

He exhaled and said, "I am sorry about your mom. She was a good woman. Her as my mentor made me a global film maker and Advertiser. So I will be supporting Sunday."

I gave him a hug and he went away. Cristina then went to Samara Michaelson, the head if the US Embassy Pr. Unit. Upon seen her Cristina raised her hand to show her the ring. Samara screamed and went out the balcony.

Samara then calm down and asked, "Much proposed?"

"I am also pregnant. And we have the perfect wedding planned for Bahamas 3-4 weeks after Cristina graduates. But I haven't zoomed in on the day," Cristina quickly told her.

Samara then asked, " What about the dress?"

"Oh Nicholas paid for 9 different designs from Bela True in Paris. I have a meeting with them tomorrow morning. But I already got that man," Cristina replied to her.

"OK so I guessed you don't want to know about Rebecca Mathews," asked Samara and as Cristina looked at her weirdly she got her phone.

Samara then said, "Your mystery girl's name is Dr. Rebecca Matthews. She was the former head of Product Development of Barclay Pharmaceutical Group, in Chicago.

She was the mother of two, Andrew and Annmarie Matthews. She was married but her husband is very powerful has everything with his name on it has been redacted. Her case was taken over by MI-5 and closed. She was gunned down by drug dealers in broad daylight.

The cops found the car a day later and the men all dead. Their motives or employers have never been discovered. Look I don't want to speculate but Nicholas did a lot of bad things for MI-5. And they wiped sweep it under the rug," Samara told Cristina and she saw me.

As she looked at me Cristina then said, "Nick is involved. I just have to figure out which angle."

With that we headed home.

As we drove Cristina was sad and I asked, "Are you OK?"

"Yea I just have a lot on my mind," she quickly told me.

I then exhaled and said, "Babe we are going to have peace. We can marry whenever you want..."

She quickly asked, "Did you ever murder mom and children?"

I let go of her arms and as I loosen my shirt neck I had flashing images of a group of women I executed in an Iraq Mosque.

"Where is this coming from," I quickly asked her.

She looked at me and said, "We are getting married and I don't want any surprises."

I then had a memory flash as I chat at him. My team was in Iraq and we moved on a church. We took out the guards. Then we went in and engaged in a fire fight with the Zulu Rebels. After ten minutes we captured 10 masked men.

After their masks were removed they were all girls.

I radio command and they said, "Fire Fox this base. You are clear to eliminate all targets. A bomb rush is coming in 10. All subjects must be dead. It also includes livestock."

I put in the phone and they screamed as I took out my gun. Garret and I executed them. Them we killed all the dogs and livestock. Then we hustled out and a drove dropped bombs on the town. I came back to as Cristina exhaled.

I then said, "That was the only time I ever killed women or children. My time in the service was force will."

"We all have a choice. You chose mass murder," she told me.

I then said, "Simon stop the car."

He stopped the limousine and I got out. I then walked to the Bentley in the back. As I walked to it the two security guards got out.

Cristina came to the driver's door and held it.

I then said, "Let it go!"

"I am sorry. Don't run," she quickly told me.

As there were tears in her eyes I went back to the limousine. Then we went home. As we got through the door I went to the shower. Philip then went to where they were holding Malcolm and Cordell.

Malcolm and Cordell were gaged.

Philip then said, "You too are dead! You violated di Don and now you dead general."

He then pulled his gold pistols and shot them in the head. Moments later I got out of the bathroom and Cristina was in her white thong. I exhaled and walked away.

As I did she quickly got up and said, "Nick! I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

I exhaled and said, "You had Samara research Rebecca Matthews."

"How did you know that," Cristina quickly asked.

I then said, "I have friends in the Global Intelligence Committee and they are higher than CIA, MI-5 or any global Intelligence agency. They had a brief after I had my wife's case close."

"I'm sorry wife," Cristina asked me.

I then went to my cabinet and moved it with a piece of the wall.

Then I opened the safe. It had a gun, a duffel bag and a Red folder. I took out the folder and closed the case.

Then Cristina asked, "What was that?"

"It is an exit plan. The bag is filled with $5 million and details about a few offshore ventures I keep off books. Plus three passports for you, me and Jasmine," I quickly told her.

I then gave her the folder and said, "This has answers to why I joined the service."

Cristina took it and went through it. I watched her for the hour she read.

After she finished I exhaled and said, "That's why I never told you because you would look at me like that."

"They forced you to join them," Cristina quickly said with tears in her eyes.

"I wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer. I got into MIT," I told her and she asked, "You went to MIT?"

I then asked, "Where do you think I got my PhD. in Chemical Engineering or my associate degree in Agriculture Science?"

"I didn't know anything before the service. All I know is that you went Oxford University where you studied Business & Marketing Management. When I met you, you were a University of London certified MEP Consultant.

So I didn't know you went to MIT," she told me.

I breathe and then said, "Well before Oxford there was MIT. At age 14 I had a PhD in Chemical Engineering. I then started Entity Agricultural Group. I stayed clear of my family. During my Agricultural course I met a crazy college lecturer.

She wouldn't date me and I jumped to Literature & Art. And I was her student. We became close and still she wouldn't date me. So the night after I graduated I went to her house and kissed her. A week later we got married.

Nine months later Andrew and Annmarie Matthews were born," he told me.

Cristina then asked, "Why didn't they carry your name?"

I sat on the on the desk and said, "At age 10 my sister kicked me out when I wouldn't take advice. So after that I ran with the Stallions. And in Michigan, they were hated. They all got killed a day after I graduated.

An LA rival, Zelda, murdered them. He had a reputation to go after your family. So I married her secretly that in case anything happened to me she would inherit everything."

"So she lived like a side chick," Cristina quickly asked.

I chuckled and said, "She was my next door neighborhood. And I owned the Apartment Complex. She and I were the only ones on the floor. And Entity Plaza was located across the road. So we were good."

"Where did it go bad," asked Cristina to me.

I exhaled and said, "My sister used her journalist wife to find out the Intel. Then my father scared her into making Anderson & Associates Law. I was in London and when I came back she signed a 10 year contract."

I then had a flashback of my argument with Rebecca Matthews. She went into the office and dropped her purse.

"What did you do," I angrily asked her.

Rebecca then asked, "How was I supposed to know they were your family?"

"Those people are a lot of things. But family aren't one of them," I quickly told her.

Earl then said, "Still hating on your family Nick. You need the pass go."

I exhaled and walked away. I came back to as Cristina touched my hands.

She then said, "You can stop."

"No. I should have told you this earlier. So after that bit by bit my sister took over my company until she was elected the board Chair. I went up against her and lost the company. I had found out she was embezzling Earl's money though the company accounts. I wasn't going to let it go or work under her.

So I cost her US$ 500 million client. And that night I got home to a shock," I replied as I had a flashback of what happened.

As I came through the door a man put a gun to my head and said, "Don't try anything Nick."

I raised my hands and Evans, one of my dad's thugs, took my gun. Then I followed him in. Sharon Anderson was there with a file. Rebecca, Andrew and Annmarie sat on the couch with their mouths taped.

I then swallowed and asked, "What do you want?"

"I lost Malbec Electric tech today. I know you told them I worked for their competitors. Now the board reinstated you. But you are going to sell me your 60% in the company. Then you leave town," replied Sharon as he put down the file and a cheque for US$ 100 Million.

I then said, "Fuck no!"

"Did I mention your wife is pregnant? I wonder what will happen when I kill the child," replied Sharon as she held a gun to Rebecca.

I then signed the share transfer certificate.

Then she checked it and said, "Pleasure doing business with you little brother. You have 72 hours to leave LA."

She and her goons then left. After not getting through to my people I threw the phone into the wall.

As I screamed Rebecca said, "Let me guessed they can't do anything."

"I am not going to let them run my company," I quickly told her.

Rebecca then asked, "What will you do?"

"I will burn Entity down if it means keeping it out of Earl's hands. I will not have that man enjoying my bread. I gave that place four years. I ran a lot of dope to build it and now he takes it! Hell no! I am taking it back force will," I quickly replied.

With tears in her eyes Rebecca said, "No! I know a friend in London. She can get us a job at Stevenson Pharmaceutical. We work there and do side ventures. Then build Anderson-Matthews Medical Group up.

Then we take Entity back."

"No! I am not waiting that long. He wants me out of town I will leave. But I am going to Chicago and returning with the Chicago Outfits for the Jamaican Crime Syndicate. I don't give a shit what deal I make but I am coming back in three weeks with an army.

Pack your stuff we heading to Chicago," I told her as I walked away.

As I came back to tears fell from my eyes.

"I take it Chicago back fired," Cristina asked me as she comforted me.

I then said, "They wanted me to run drugs to them in exchange I ran California and the border. A day before the attack I took them to the park. Then as I talked business they sprayed them. One of the Chicago crime boss owed Earl a favor

I murdered all 300 of his men and him. Then I skipped twin before they were buried. Then my mother came to me at a save spot. I then had a memory flashback. As I came out if a warehouse with a bag my mother showed up.

She then said, "He is expecting you to strike. He hired additional security. "

"I will kill them too," I replied as I turned around.
