Chapter 7 Hidden Agenda

Marvin went straight to his mother's room without tending to his left leg wound. He was concerned about changing into new clothes apart from the pajamas he was wearing. He knocked on her door like a giant three times, making sure the disturbing sound of the wooden door could wake up a dead person from the grave.

She scarily woke up from her long deep sleep with an anger, anger that got her head boiling so hot like a volcano that is ready to explode.

She forced her body up from the bed, crawling gently towards the edge of the bed as she was still trying to recover her strength.

Mrs John, scrolling down towards the entrance door of her room, peeped through the lens hole on the platform of the door to see who had been knocking on her door so hard. As she checked the hole she could see Marvin's head and eyes looking directly at her.

"Marvin, what the heck is happening, why are you banging the door so hard like that? Mrs John asked.

He maintained his silence and anger because she hadn't stepped out of her room.

"Mum, I need you outside right now." Marvin angrily said.

She reached for the handle of her door and unlocked it gently, then she swiftly opened the door with her left hand while she used her right hand to rub her itchy face.

"Mum, Maria is outside there enjoying my father's privilege happily. Could you believe that, and you are here sleeping to the depths of your heart."

Her eyes changed suddenly like a bull after it oppressor, she was so furious that immediately her ears received the message from Marvin, then suddenly she noticed a stain of blood like footsteps on the floor.

"What! Who the heck stained my beautiful floor with this blood? Mrs John asked.

He quickly hid his leg and left her sight immediately, while she was heading straight to the mansion's stable.

"Mum, forget about that, I want you to put that low-life in her place right now without hesitation." Marvin said.

She slammed her door and walked as fast as she could, heading outside the mansion for Maria.

She sighted Mrs John behind her. She went straight towards her, she quickly adjusted herself and commanded her dog to go as she moved slowly away from Mr Diego and the horses.

"Mrs John, good morning, how was it about going to your room to ask for your warm permission to attend this year's Christmas at my father's place, just like I did last year." Maria said.

Her anger was aroused to the maximum that she nearly fell on the slippery ground. The anger made her throw her slippers at Maria, but her own calmness dodged the thrown anger to another direction.

Her reaction answered the question without saying anything at all, she told her to bring her slippers and move straight to the house.

She was so angry that she could swallow her whole body and drink wine to flush to the depth of her stomach, but she controlled her anger.

"Mrs John, this is a one-lifetime opportunity for me to see my father and I don't want to miss it, I am pleading to you." Maria said.

Mrs John ignored her presence and collected the slippers from her while she walked away from her. Her son was about to get closer to her, but she ordered him back to the house that she had resolved it.

"Marvin, take care of yourself now, I have already put her in her place," Said Mrs John.

The angry face of a man changed to a very excited face, he felt a good feeling of achievement inside of him, he had finally scored a goal after many weeks of neglecting her.

Maria was so annoyed and unhappy, it was about 22 hours. It was Christmas to come and there was no hope of seeing her father, and if she happened to miss their opportunity she might not be able to see him again, and she had refused to go with Marvin to his father's office last week as he requested.

As she fell down on her knees, crying deeply for a few minutes, Mr Diego approached her, and he promised to assist her if she could keep a secret. Her heart filled with joy to hear from a man she never thought could help her.

He dropped the long stick he was holding on the grass ground and told Maria to visit him at night when everyone was fast asleep, and she would be able to see her father, but on one condition.

"Miss Maria, I'll assist you if you promise to assist me too," Mr Diego said.

She was calm but baffled because of what he said. What could someone like me do for a man like Mr Diego, a very powerful man? He was one of the leaders of Mr Patrick John's gang leader. He has been serving him ever since he was 15-years-old, when he lost his father to a stray bullet while he was coming back from work.

Mr Patrick took him in as his worker and he promised to send him to school, but he never fulfilled his promises, but he taught him how to do traffic drugs and eliminate whoever was in competition with him.

When he grew up in jeans, he approached his boss in his black top and jeans with black shoes, to ask for his permission to stop working for him, but Mr Patrick rejected his request stylishly.

He told him he was so happy for him and he would gladly help him to set up whatever he wanted to do in London or anywhere else in the world, but on one last request.

He told him to do one last job for him and after that he was free to go, but Mr Diego had no choice but to agree to his terms and conditions. That is what he had been doing since he was a child.

He told him boldly to attack a cartel trading and stole their goods for him and after that he is free to go and do whatever he wishes with his life.

Mr Diego laid up a good plan to go for the operation alone without his gangs. He was at the scene where the transaction was being conducted.

He was hiding with a sniping gun on top of a very tall structure very close to all the warehouse where the gangs for the two cartel groups were standing.
