Billionaire Mafia's Manny
Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Chapter 134

Zeno was standing with Ida and other bodyguards in front of Sebastian’s mansion.

They were getting ready to trail behind Nicholas who was going to meet his father that day.

Zeno was so confident that he would have told Sebastian about Bison yesterday, but after their session in the kitchen, they had barely made it to the living room when Nicholas barged in and showed them the latest message from Bison.

Bison had threatened Nicholas to meet him at a certain location. If not, he would kill his mother, who lived in Australia.

Sebastian had first thought that Nicholas shouldn’t go, but after a second thought, he decided to let him go.

But, of course, Nicholas wasn’t going alone; Sebastian and his men would trail behind him, leaving a reasonable distance between him and them.

"What taking Nichilas so long?" Jeremiah asked, tapping his hand on top of the car he was living beside.

Ida shrugged, "Probably going over what he’s going to say to his father," he replied.

Zeno was typing on his phone and gently dropped it on top of the car when he heard their conversation.

"Yeah, it’s taking quite some time. I guess he’s getting fixed up, you know the microphones and trackers," Je informed.

"Oh, that makes sense now. But, do you all think Bison would actually hurt his own son?" Cody questioned.

"Yes," Jeremiah and Andre replied at the same time.

Ida chuckled, shaking his head at them.

"If you mean a funeral who hasn’t seen his son for over fifteen years, then, yes, he could kill him. He’s even threatening to kill his own wife, the man’s sadistic," Andre mentioned.

"Hmm, you’ve got a point," Cody mumbled.

"I’ll be right back; I’ll go check in on them," Zeno said and walked away.

He wondered just how bad Bison was; he couldn’t believe he almost fell for him when he told him that he wanted to bring justice by exposing Mr. Orion; as he saw it, this was an underworld completion, just a mafia trying to eliminate another mafia, there was nothing new to their storyline.

He walked through the gates just at the same time Sebastian, Ezra, and Nicholas were coming out of the house.

"What’s wrong?" Sebastian asked as he saw Zeno walking toward them.

Zeno shook his head, "Nothing, I just wanted to check on you guys," He said, stopping beside Sebastian.

"Check on us? Or just him?" Ezra pointed to Sebastian.

Nicholas frowned and walked ahead, "Let him be, Ezra,"

Ezra smiled at Zeno and followed Nicola out of the gates.

Sebastian drew Zeno closer, "So? Did you really want to tell.me something?" He asked.

Zeno shook his head, "Not really, I just wanted to make sure we got there in time,"

"Don’t worry, we will," He kissed his cheek and was about to step back when his face changed.

Zeno became confused when Sebastian’s face turned angry in an instant. "Hey, what’s the problem?" He questioned softly.

"Ah, looks like I was interrupting something romantic," Kenji’s voice spoke from behind Zeno.

Zeno immediately knew the reason why Sebastian was angry. He didn’t like Kenji, and he didn’t trust him either.

Were they busted?

He slowly stepped away from Sebastian and faced Kenji.

Kenji smiled at Zeno, "Hi, Zeno. Now I see why my dear friend never told you I like you. He’s head over heels for you. You could have just said so, Sebastian, I would understand," He said.

Sebastian’s frown remained, "What are you doing here, Kenji?" He asked.

"Oh," He put his hand into his pocket and got out a small gift box, "I don’t think it is still important; my sister asked me to bring this to you. I’ll just return to her-"

"Don’t," Sebastian cut him off.

Kenji frowned and stared at Zeno, "Does your boyfriend want to take my sister’s gift? Does he know what it means? He’s cheating on you, right in front of you," He smirked.

Zeno sighed, glancing at Sebastian.

He didn’t know how to react; all he knew was that he wasn’t comfortable with Jenjo knowing about them, and he didn’t trust him.

Sebastian scoffed, "I’m not taking it; you’re keeping it. I might not be interested in your sister the way she is with me, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll be cruel to her. Just hold onto it, tell her I wasn’t home when you came. I’ll give her a call myself when we return. I’ll tell her myself," He instructed.

"Yes, boss," Kenji smirked and walked toward the gate.

"Kenji?" Sebastian called before he could walk out of the gate.

"What else do you want, your majesty?" Kenji mocked.

"Keep your mouth locked," Sebastian warned.

Kenji smiled, "Ah, from tour old man? Sure. Friends help out each other, right? See you around, lover boy," He said and turned away, walking out of the gates this time.

Zeno turned to Sebastian, "Do you think he’ll tell your father?" He asked.

Sebastian sighed, "I don’t know. But if he does, you don’t have to worry; if he does, you don’t have to worry about it; I’ll handle it," He kissed Zeno and led him out of the gates.

They walked toward Sebastian’s car and were about to enter it when Ida walked up to them.

"Boss," Ida called.

Zeno and Sebastian turned to look at Ida and Zeko immediately noticed that Ida looked disappointed... disappointed at him.

"What’s wrong, Ida?" Zeno asked.

Ida sighed and stretched out his hand to Sebastian.

Zeno’s eyes widened when he saw his phone in Ida’s hand; his heart instantly flew, racing wildly; he was soon going to face a nightmare.

He wished he hadn’t dropped his phone on top of the car and forgotten it, now look where he was heading.

"This is your phone," Sebastian wanted to return the phone to Zeno but Ida stopped him.

"Take a look at the messages, Boss. I apologize for invading his privacy, but when I saw those texts, I knew I had to bring it to your notice. Even if it meant severing my friendship with Zeno," Ida explained.

Zeno felt fear enclose around his chest, "Ida..."

Ida turned away from him, angry.

Sebastian stared at Zeno, who was no longer looking at him, and then looked at the phone in his hands.

Zeno bit his lips nervously as he saw Sebastian’s features lose all smiles and softness. He looked more dangerous than the devil himself.

His hands clasped around the phone as he slowly turned to Zeno, raising the phone to Zeno’s face, "Tell me all these are fake, Zeno," His voice was pleading but his face already showed that he believed what he’d seen.

Zeno glanced at his screen and saw all the texts that Bison had been sending him. He even saw a new text below the one he read last.

All the text had the same message: the pen, the deadline, and the promise of what would happen 8f he failed to provide the pen.

"It’s true," Zeno admitted.

"Fuck!" Sebastian slammed his hand against the window, roughly pushing his finger into his hair.

That got the att5od everyone, they slowly started to walk toward Sebastian and Zeno, curious to see what was going on.

"Calm down, Seb, I can-"

"Don’t fucking touch me! Why do you always have to do this? Why, Zeno!" Sebastian growled, slamming the phone on top of the car.

"I’m sorry, Sebastian. But this is what I’ve been meaning to tell you, but I never got the chance. You promised not to get angry, you promised to listen to my explanation," Zeno pleaded.

Ida scoffed, "Yeah, listen to your lies,"

"Shut up, Ida. This is none of your business," Zeno glared at Ida.

"It is, I’m protecting my boss," Ida stated boldly.

Zeno frowned, "I’m trying to speak to my boyfriend, Ida, can you not do this now, please?" He sighed tiredly.

"I don’t think you still hold that status, Zeno-"

"Quiet!" Sebastian shunned both of them, turning to glare at Zeno, his chest rising and falling in anger.

"I’m a man of my word, Zeno. I did promise to listen to you. We’ll do that when we get back, and I do hope, I really do hope, that you make it make sense, Mr. Evader. If not, I can’t promise you’ll be happy with the result," Sebastian warned and walked off.

"Happy?" Zeno asked Ida.

"Sure, I’m always happy to expose a liar and deceiver," Ida smirked.

"I’m none of those, Ida. Keep your mouth shut if you don’t know the full story," Zeno said.

Ida scoffed, "What other stories do I have to know? I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve fucked Bison too - Fuck!" Ida reeled back from the harsh push Zeno gave his chest.

He immediately attacked Zeno with a jab on the face, causing blood to flow out of his nose.

Zeno staggered back and leaned on the car.

Cody immediately came forward and held Ida, who was going forward for another hit "Stop it, Ida! Enough!" He pulled Ida back.

Zeno touched his nose, his finger staining with blood, he sighed, "Happy?" He asked Ida.

"You asked for it," Ida eyed Zeno angrily and snatched his hand away from Cody before storming off angrily.

Cody gave Zeno a short look before walking off.

Everyone had gone to enter the vehicle that would be driving them off, except Zeno. He didn’t know who to join, no one wanted him beside them at the moment, especially Sebastian.

He stood there, watching the cars driving off one after the other.

Sebastian reached his front and slowed down, the driver’s window winded down to show Andre’s face, "The boss had asked for you to stay back, Zeno. He said he can’t take someone who might end up betraying him," Andre delivered the message and drove off.

Zeno stood in front of the mansion, letting the weight of his reality settle on him. "I deserved it this time," He muttered.

He recalled the betrayed look he saw on Sebastian’s face and a tear slipped down from the side of his eyes.

He wiped it off and took out a bandana from his pocket to wipe his bleeding nose.

However, before he could successfully get the bandana out of his pocket, he felt a very insignificant sting on his neck, and before he could raise his hand to touch his neck, he blacked out and fell to the floor.

His past thoughts went out to Sebastian and his Nana; he wished them happiness, just in case he never got to see them again.

He knew it was Bison’s men who had come for him, hopefully, they wouldn’t drag Sebastian into his mess.
