BLURB

Rono is a vigilante mafia prince with a dangerous plan to avenge his father’s death.

Suto is a genius medical doctor not afraid to get her hands dirty to pay off her father’s debt.

A marriage of convenience between these two could solve their problems. But what happens when love complicates matters and betrayal rears its ugly head?

CHAPTER ONE

Outskirt of Uyo

“Yes! Yes, I did it!” the man sobbed, his head dropping over his chest as he heaved, blood dripping from his mouth and soaking his lilac shirt.

Rono Ating stood ramrod straight and wondered why Oscar had decided to confess after his face had been beaten to an unrecognizable pulp. He could have done it when he’d not been touched at all.

“The prize was enticing, and Jacob … your father, never thought me worthy enough to sit in his dealings.” Oscar sneered; it could be heard in the tone of his voice, because his battered face proved unable to portray that emotion.

“So, you thought it would be a good idea to betray him.” Rono chuckled, looking round the decrepit warehouse. “Who?”

Oscar knew not to pretend he didn’t understand the question. He listed out names of people, business partners Rono’s father had regarded as close associates.

“And Felicia?” Rono looked at the tied up man, hoping to get more from the shift of his eyes, but he spat in disgust.

“I know nothing about your fuck bitch. There was talk about kidnapping her to put you in a fix, but someone said she wasn’t worth anything to you.”

“My father must have seen through your pretence … and your recent group of friends do, too.”

“What do you mean?”

“Thank you, Oscar, for the list, but it’s quite unfortunate you won’t be paying for my laundry,” Rono commented while staring at his blood-stained white shirt, a result of beating on Oscar.

It took a while for Oscar to understand his meaning. Fear broke through the passiveness of his battered face when Rono pointed the gun at his head.

“Plea—”

His head exploded on the warehouse floor before he could complete the single syllable word.

Rono stood there staring at the mess while examining how he felt at just killing a man, ending his destiny, as it were. Was that a twinge at the darkest part of his heart? He mentally shook his head. No twinge, not when he recalled his father’s unmoving body at the mortuary as clear as when he’d stared at it. His mind refused to forget the cloying scent of formalin and the cold. He’d not had to touch his father to feel the cold; it had wafted from his still body.

No twinge now—there had to be none, not when his vibrant father was six feet under and worm food. His aim was to send his betrayers to the worms, too.

“Where is his car?” he asked one of his goons.

“Parked around the corner, Boss.”

Rono nodded. “Both of you, make this look like a robbery, and then call me to know where I am for the next clean up.
