The Billionaire Mafia
You Tau, I Love You
Mikel tapped on the table with a rhythm of agitated-sounding beats. He looked at the door several times, waiting for the men he assigned to look for the treasures of the Jhonson Family. And not long after, one of the men who was waiting for him also came huddling.
"Boss, we've been looking for it but we didn't find any cave in the map."
Mikel was seen tightening his jaw as soon as he heard the reports from his men. "Have you been looking correctly?!" It seems Mikel did not take it for granted if they failed to find the cave depicted in the painting.
"Very sure. We've searched around hills and mountains but found no features of the cave."
"Arrghhhh, damn!" Mikel slammed the items on the table until they became scattered on the floor. "Where else should I look for that clue? Don't let Todd find her first." As if Mikel's head was about to break, he thought of the puzzle of a map from Grandpa Mateo's bookstore. But strangely he did not find Grandpa Mateo there and the whole building was torn apart by someone.
"We're sorry we haven't found the cave, boss." The man dared to open his voice when his boss was filled with anger, he felt very guilty to his boss for failing to carry out the task.
Mikel looked up, so that the slightly frightened man's face filled his vision. "No problem, you go."
The man nodded and immediately walked out of the room. Mikel makes sure that nothing else will bother him, so he tries to contact Sid.
"Sid, how did it go?" it was as soon as the phone line picked up someone across there.
"Mikel, I really can't find Mateo's whereabouts. He seemed lost in the swallow of the earth!" And Sid's answer made Mikel sigh even more, holding back his stifled anger.
"Alright, call me when you find her whereabouts."
"Hem of course," Sid said. "You don't worry, I'll always help you." Sid understands Mikel's anxiety, Mateo is the only one who will give them a clue to where the Jhonson Family's possessions are.
"Yes, thank you Sid." There was no conversation back and Mikel immediately closed his call.
Mikel let out a deep breath of air after putting his phone on the table. He stood facing a large window, staring out which presented a view of the City of Madrid. For a month he searched for Mateo's whereabouts, but never found the old man. His goal to come to the Netherlands did not produce results, but he got very important information if it turns out that all this time Daddy Matthew keeps good possessions of the Jhonson Family.
Mikel's hearing was piqued as footsteps slipped in. "Where else do I need to go, Uncle?"
The man older than Mikel was just standing still behind Mikel. "Young Master take it easy, sooner or later we will find Mr. Mateo's whereabouts."
Yeah, Josh. Once successful in saving Josh in America, he was always with Uncle Josh, an accomplice to the trust of Matthew who has been very meritorious to him and Meisha.
Mikel did not answer. I don't know, he wants it all over and immediately takes his revenge on Todd.
"We'd better get back to England. The company and Miss Meisha still need Young Master." Josh doesn't want to break Mikel's spirit. He understood that everything Mikel experienced was so hard, so he had been trying to stay alive to accompany his dead Master's son.
Hearing Josh's words, Mikel closed his eyes briefly. Justifying what his uncle said.

While elsewhere, all day Arthur busied himself in front of the laptop screen. Since then Helena tried to invite her husband to talk, but Arthur returned in a silent mood, even issuing a cold aura so that Helena felt the surrounding air freeze. Helena did not turn to look at Arthur who was serious about his work. Even her existence had been ignored by her husband.
"What's wrong with her?" Helena pursed her lips, she felt an oddity in Arthur. Since yesterday the man had silenced himself, or maybe just his feelings? thought.
"Ah, I'm so hungry." He complained of hunger with a loud volume for Arthur to hear. The woman even held onto her surfing belly asking to be filled immediately. The tail of his eyes then glanced to meet Arthur who was still not poking at his words. Don't respond, just look no. It's weird, isn't it? Usually, the man would approach and offer her a meal.
Was he angry because of my meeting with Mikel?
Truly, since then the thought of his brain. It was the cause that made Arthur ignore him.
Irritated that her existence was being ignored, Helena moved from her seat, stomping her feet with a sour face, before leaving the room for the kitchen, hoping to find any food there.
The figure of Helena who had vanished behind the door, Arthur had just reacted. The man glanced at the door that left traces of Helena's shadow.
Arthur then resuscitated his back on the back of the chair, then exhaled his breath into the air. Since yesterday his emotions were unstable and he did not want to explode in front of Helena.
The sound of shrapnel downstairs shook Arthur's ears. His mind was fixed on Helena, without waiting for a long time he immediately stood up and ran towards Helena.
"Master, forgive me for accidentally dropping the plate." The older-looking Maid apologized for being careless.
"If you don't want to work with me anymore, please get out of here!" arthur shouted with an outburst of emotion that he could no longer hold back.
"No sir, I still want to work with you." The maid was frightened when he spoke the words of Arthur, because only this time he saw his master angry.
"You better go. Work the right way!" exclaim Arthur.
While Helena who witnessed Arthur's anger just peeked out from behind the kitchen wall without daring to approach. But he felt sorry for the maid who had just been infuriated by Arthur.
"That...." Helena's figure emerged from behind the wall and seized the attention of Arthur who immediately looked at the woman. "Pity him if you scold him like that."
"I'm just disciplining him and whoever I work with." Arthur's voice did not sound friendly at Helena's hearing.
"But it's just a small mistake Ar" Helena explained.
"Small mistakes will be great if they go on continuously. You understand?!"
Helena snorted not to accept. "If you're mad at me, don't take it out on anyone. Just get angry at me!"
"Why am I scolding you?" And Arthur was just kinked.
"Since yesterday you've been silent on me. You didn't answer when I asked you to talk. And you were like that when we got back from downtown. Is it because I met and talked to Mikel. But I didn't talk to him!" Yeah, that's what Helena's guessing. It is certain that Arthur is angry with him for his accidental encounter with Mikel.
"I'm not mad at you. I just don't like him!" refute Arthur.
"You don't like him because he's approaching your sister?" helena asked to make sure.
"That's one of them" he said. "Listen, don't talk to her again if you meet!" he added undeniably.
Helena increasingly does not understand, she fails to digest the intent of Arthur telling her not to talk to each other if she meets Mikel.
"Since I was not close to him. Even he doesn't care about me, our togetherness isn't what you think it is. Our relationship was established because of mutual benefit only!"
Arthur's forehead crinkled deeply, he tried to study speech and did not swallow Helena's words whole.
"You're always so bad to think of me or Mikel!" annoyed. "Why are you always like this?" Helena looked at Arthur who was also looking at her in silence.
Arthur was indeed muffling his anger, because it did not chimed in what Helena said.
"Listen to me, you're the only man I'm with. You know, I love you. So take it easy, don't drive me crazy!" helena raised her voice. Not even aware if both eyes condense, nurturing tears that are ready to be shed.
Arthur was stunned for a moment when he heard Helena's confession. His anger suddenly subsided followed by his slowly softened face.
"You know, this is the first time you've said you love me."
