Husband With Benefits

"Cut him into so many pieces that everyone will think he is a jigsaw puzzle!" As the guards came rushing in on Alpin Banfi’s orders, a grim voice spoke slowly," I wouldn’t be so hasty, Banfi. Every cut on that man will find a mirror image on this man here. Would you like a demonstration?"

Even though Alexander Sterling maintained his composure outwardly, his hands under the table clenched. Demetri Frost wouldn’t really harm that boy, would he? He just couldn’t be so sure.

He watched as a knife glinted against Junior’s neck and then turned his head to look at Banfi who was staring at the screen in horror. The knife slowly nicked the man’s neck and a small drop of blood emerged.

Alpin Jr screamed as he felt the nick of the knife against his flesh, uttering foul language as he sat there scared stiff, shouting threats," Do you think you can get away after doing this! I am the next ruler of Estania. Once I am on the throne, I will hunt you down and teach you all a lesson! I will start with that who*e of yours! I will..."

In the next minute, a gauze was stuffed into the man’s mouth while Demetri spoke," Mr Banfi, the best course of your action would be to walk out of there and confess to your crimes publicly and beg for rightful punishment.

"No! No. Kill him if you want. I don’t care! I have other children who can take the throne. But the Banfi’s will be the next rulers of Estania, come what may! Guards! Don’t just stand there! Seize this man and make him sign those documents and then kill him!"

As the guards closed in around Alexander, Banfi spoke sinisterly," Your time has come, Sterling. You thought you could outsmart me, but you underestimated the power of the Banfi family. This time you won’t escape!"

Instead of trying to dodge the guards who were now closing in on him, Alexander continued to sit there with his composure, as he finally spoke, "Do you know something, uncle? You’ve always underestimated my power. It is your biggest downfall."

"Downfall? What downfall? It is time for me to rise. And underestimating your power? You have no power, you fool. Only an illusion of power. I did all sorts of things right under your nose and you couldn’t even get a single piece of evidence against me...I laundered money. Millions of it. I created a network of shell companies, siphoning off funds from Estania’s treasury. I silenced opposition, and controlled key figures in the government. I created an illusion of prosperity while lining my pockets, but you remained unaware in your coccoon."

"You used my mother’s trust in you to further your own goals." Alexander spoke sadly.
