CHAPTER 2

A man was sitting in the balcony and was smoking. He was hot and handsome with jet black hair, brown eyes, and a sharp jawline. His brown eyes had some grief and mysteries hidden. He got up from his chair and went to his room. He was none other than, 'Manik Malhotra', a gangster and a drug lord. He was known by various names like The Death Angel, MM, Devil, etc.

Manik's POV

I called up Cabir and asked him to come to my room with all the members of our gang. Let me tell you a few things about myself, there is no word called 'Sorry' in my dictionary. Death is the only punishment I give for betrayals. That's why I am known as 'The Death Angel'. I don't tolerate disrespect.

The door of my room barged open and came my gang members cum my best friends.

"What manners, don't you know to knock on the door before entering?"I asked.

"No," Ritvik replied.

"Bro you are single. When you find your soulmate and when she will stay with you we won't invade your privacy," Cabir said laughing.

"Bro he is going to die single", Ritvik said chuckling.

"Manik you should find a girl for yourself", Mukti suggested.

"Yes, Manik I second Mukti", Alya added.

"Yes it's your age to get married and settle down in your life," Cabir said smiling.

"Shut up guys, I have not called you all to my room for my marriage discussion.", I told angrily.

"So you have called us for lunch. Oh, buddy, you care so much for us," Cabir said hugging me.

Damn this guy, such a big foodie he is. And my friends, they are fools. Do they look like Gangsters?

"Guys I have called you all to inform you that Terence Machado, a member of our gang has betrayed us!"

"What?" everyone asked shockingly.

"Manik how do you know about this?" Dhruv asked.

"I cannot believe this. So honest he was!" Soha said.

"Yea Manik, maybe you have got wrong information", Harshad told.

"No Harshad, I have got the correct information. Tonight, he is going to give all the details of our gang to the 'The Street Mobsters', I told clenching my fist.

"Manik, we should kill him then.", Ritvik said angrily.

"Yes we will kill him Ritvik, but not now. He is just a prawn we have to catch the big fish," I told smiling evilly.

Cabir began to cry and I got worried.

"Cabir, what's the matter? Are you okay?" I asked concernedly.

"Here, I am hungry and you are taking names of seafood", Cabir said dramatically. I swear I feel like shooting him at this moment.

"Cabir, can you please be serious?", I asked him.

"Okay, I am serious now. Tell me when and where is he going to meet our rivals?" Cabir asked.

"He is going to meet them tonight at a cruise party", I replied.

"Cruise Party? Our Rivals have held a party on a cruise?" Cabir asked.

"No, he is going to disguise himself as a waiter at a birthday party that has been held on the cruise!" I replied.

"Birthday Party? Whose birthday party?" Ritvik asked.

I was pissed off by Cabir and Ritvik's ridiculous questions.

"Ritvik, why the hell are you so interested in knowing whose birthday party it is?", I asked gritting my teeth.

Cabir kept both his hands in front of my mouth.

"What are you doing Cabir?" I asked.

"Bro, I am going to catch your teeth when they fall," he replied.

"What?", I asked confusingly.

"You are gritting your teeth so much, they are going to break and fall. So I am going to catch them when they fall", he told smiling.

"Mr. Dhawan, can you be serious?", I asked angrily.

"Apologies, now I am mum.", He said putting his finger on his lip.

"So what was I saying----Ummm---yes--- so Cabir you along with Mukti, Abhimanyu, Ritvik, and Harshad will be going to the cruise", I ordered.

"Should we take our guns?", Ritvik asked and I stared at him dangerously.

"Guys let us get ready for the mission", Ritvik said smiling nervously and everyone burst out laughing.

They all went to their respective rooms shutting the door.

I took another cigarette and started to smoke. I was feeling different! I was getting intuitions that something is going to happen, something good, that is going to change my life!

Oh Manik, stop behaving like Cabir. You are getting influenced a lot by him. Nothing good is going to happen in your life! Nothing good! This heart of ours is only meant for pumping blood.

I closed my eyes and all the events of the past started to flash in front of my eyes. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. I grabbed a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and sat on the bed boozing.
