It's finally a week after Stephen had warned John Malachy to pay back his overdue debt, sadly, John didn't pay back, he neither pick Stephen's calls nor hid to his warnings.
Stephen's face twisted in frustration and anger as he glared at the ignoring calls log on his phone, all attempts to reach John Malachy met with silence. The week's grace period had expired, and John's disregard for his warnings was a blatant sign of disrespect. Stephen's mind raced with the consequences of John's actions, his business reputation and finances at risk.
Stephen's expression turned stern as he summoned Brownie to his office. "Brownie, John Malachy has failed to pay his debt despite my warnings. It's time to take action." Brownie nodded, his face expressionless. Together, they exited the mansion, flanked by a pair of burly thugs. Their destination was John's favorite read bookstore.
