Eric stood in front of a big white mansion, with different thoughts running through his mind. His hands were dipped in his pants pockets and he was leaning on his black Mercedes Benz.After a moment of reflection, he walked closer to the big gate and placed his thumb on the scanner. The blue light enveloped his hand and a beeping sound was heard. The gate opened immediately and he came face to face with four men pointing guns at him, but they lowered their gun when they saw it was him, and their head bowed uniformly. He ignored their gesture and strode into the building, where he saw different luxurious cars parked at the garage. His steps halted and his gaze remained fixed on the blue Lamborghini which stood out amongst the cars parked there. This was the first time he was seeing the car ever since he had been coming to this place. After feeding his eyes, he shrugged his shoulders and continued his walk, leading him to a big hallway where he came across a guy and lady
EARLIER THAT DAY* After returning from the meet up with Kira, Rebecca and Ella spent the whole time talking about the money. Ella was pained Rebecca didn’t collect the money. A million dollars was something she would never reject for anything. She did all she could to persuade her, but all to no avail. They were both seated in the living room, and while Rebecca was engrossed with the TV, Ella kept on thinking about the money, and how it would change her life.“If you don’t need the money, then you can give it to me.” Ella couldn’t keep it in, she had to speak up. Rebecca spared her a state. “No, I won’t accept the money.”“It’s your loss if you don’t accept it. Ever since you started living with Eric, has he ever given you up to a million dollars?” Ella asked. Rebecca thought for a while before shaking her head. “No, but he got me a Mercedes Benz after our honeymoon.” Ella scoffed, “Your car isn’t even half the money.” When Rebecca didn’t speak further, she continued.
She didn’t know where to start from, Kira wasn’t specific on where to check. She held the phone in her hands, confused on what to do. If only Ella was with her. Strangely, a knock was heard on the door and she wondered who was knocking at that time of the night. It was late for goodness sake.“Who is it?” She inquired loudly.“It’s Wendy.” A familiar voice replied. Her brows furrowed, what did Wendy want at that time?“Come in.” The door opened and Wendy walked in dressed in her night wear.“What do you want?” Rebecca asked calmly. Wendy didn’t reply, her gaze was focused on something, and when she trailed the gaze, it landed on Eric’s phone in her hand.“What?” She asked again, a bit louder this time.“I have something important to tell Mr Eric.” Wendy spoke up.“He’s asleep as you can see. You should wait till tomorrow.” Rebecca replied. Even though she was curious about what the thing could be, she didn’t want anything to ruin her plan.“It really can’t wait, trust me
Eric took slow walks around her, thinking of the necessary part to start from. He stopped walking and squatted in her front, he wanted her to see his face while he explained the whole thing to her.“I am the son of Evans Draco, the fourth most dangerous man in the mafia world.” He stated with pride and he could see the shock on Rebecca’s face when he said that.“Wanna know who the first is?” He asked, but he didn’t get a reply. Rebecca’s curious gaze was already a reply for him, so he continued. “Your father, Michael Lucas.” Eric’s brows furrowed when he didn’t get a reaction from Rebecca. “You aren’t surprised?” Rebecca scoffed, “I never thought you could be so stupid, Eric. It didn’t for once cross my mind.” Rebecca was furious. She could take any insult or disrespect about her, but she wouldn’t take any about her family, particularly her dad. “You think I’m joking?” Eric was amused, it was surprising how someone could trust another being so well. He kissed
The last sentence sent shivers down her spine, but after rethinking the whole thing, she bursted into laughter, and strangely, Wendy joined her in laughing.“It’s so funny how you guys think I’m so naive to believe this tale.” She said, after laughing.“Yeah, it is.” Wendy smiled. Rebecca’s brows creased. “If all this is true, which isn’t, why are you telling me about it? Do you think I’ll want to stay with Eric after hearing all these?” She questioned. If it was indeed true, then she thought it was meant to be kept a secret. Why were they telling her?“Because there’s no use lying. After what happened last night, we have no reason to continue the act cause you discovered I have a connection with Eric.” Wendy replied.“I still don’t believe you.” Rebecca said.“If I was in your shoes, I wouldn’t either. Imagine waking up one morning and being told your loving dad who looked like he couldn’t kill a fly was a mafia boss, how unbelievable.” Wendy stated, chuckling. Silence crept i
“Are you sure this is going to work?” The guard asked after hearing Kira’s idea.“Trust me, it will. All my plans do work out, and that’s why Axel won’t let me go.” Kira stated proudly with a charming smile on her face.“Whatever.” The guard mumbled. Kira chuckled, she opened her mouth to say a word, but stopped when she saw a black Mercedes Benz approaching.“Don’t tell me that’s Eric’s car?” The guard turned and when he saw the car, he turned back to Kira. “Yes, it is. He drove out some time ago.”“I gotta go… Don’t wanna take any chances.” Kira climbed the motorcycle, and within the blink of an eye, she sped off. When Eric drove to the gate, he stopped and unwinded the window glass.“Who was that?” He asked from the car.“She came for delivery.” The guard replied, getting ready to open the gate.“Delivery of what?” Eric asked with furrowed brows.“Flowers. Whitney ordered flowers for Rebecca.” He replied.“Oh.” Eric mouthed before closing the window and ignited the car engine
As she cried, she saw Eric chuckling, he wasn’t even moved by her tears and it hurt her deeply. It felt like her heart was on fire, she couldn’t breath properly. She used to think he was a nice person, she thought he loved her, she thought he cared. Tears washed the blood from her nose to her lips and when she tasted something salty, she wiped her face with the back of her palm. Her fear increased when Eric got closer and took off his shirt. She looked at Wendy who stood unshaken, not bothering to at least give them privacy. Her gaze moved from Wendy to Eric and she cast him a pleading stare as soon as her eyes came in contact with his.“Please don’t.” Her teary voice muttered. Eric scoffed as he took off his belt. “We’ve done this several times, why are you acting like a virgin who is afraid to have her first sex?” He said, accompanied with an eye roll.“Maybe because back then I look at you with eyes filled with love, but now all I see…” She paused, her gaze getting darke
She held the cloth and jumped to the other side. From there, she began climbing down with the help of the rope. Her heart was beating so fast, and at a point she felt the rope was about to cut, so she slowed down. She said a silent prayer and continued climbing down. When she got closer to the floor, she jumped down without the rope and a big sigh of relief escaped her lips.She looked around the big compound, thinking of where to follow in order not to get caught. She looked at the left side, it was quicker to get to the gate but the kitchen was around those side and Wendy might see her from the window, so decided to take the other side. She was extra careful enough not to get seen by anyone. Upon getting to the gate, she saw the security making a call, standing in front of the exit. Her steps halted and she could feel her heart beating so fast than normal.*What if he’s part of Eric’s crew and is aware of everything?* She had this thought going through her mind. The gat
She was taken aback by his request. Steal? She had never stolen anything and Axel knew that. But what could the thing be and why didn’t Axel send someone else? Many thoughts filled her mind as she waited for him to explain further. She wrapped her hands around her breasts, not because she was shy, but because she suddenly felt cold. She clenched her thighs tightly, trying so hard to surpress the urge to grab Axel and make him do the dirtiest stuff she had in mind. Axel didn’t speak, there was a deafening silence between them and she knew he wouldn’t say anything if she refused to speak first.“Steal what?” He moved closer to her. “I’ll tell you full details later, but for now….” He grabbed her neck roughly and a light gasped escaped her lips. “Let’s make you cum.” With his hand still on her neck, he pushed her to the wall and her back hit the wall roughly.“Shouldn’t we go to a room.” She asked beneath her breath. She was already feeling the tension.“Why would
When she got outside, she let out a deep breath.“Fuck. That was tough.” She muttered. If it wasn’t for the signals Axel gave her, she wouldn’t had been able to handle the situation. She noticed the two guys outside bowed immediately she stepped out and she’s left with a question.How powerful was Michael Lucas before he died? He seemed to be feared and respected and despite being his daughter, she felt she didn’t know him well. The only side she knew was his jovial side, and his caring side. If only death didn’t take him from her. Her lips pressed as she recalled the day of the accident and she wished she died alongside her parents because life was too harsh on her. After one last glance at the men, she walked away. She was able to locate the swimming pool after wandering about the big compound. She sat by the pool side, took off her sandals and dipped her legs in the pool, feeling the coolness.Goosebumps of cold prickled her skin. It felt refreshing and when sh
Rebecca stepped out of the bathroom, her body dripping wet of water. Instead of wrapping her body with the towel, she wrapped her head with the only towel available. She was surprised to see Kira in the room, seated on the bed with a black dress and sandal beside her. The room was specially assigned to her by Axel to stay for the meantime. It was spacious and simple, just as she liked it. They weren’t irrelevant decors, just the lamp nn the bedside table and a small book shelf which was filled with books, then other necessary stuff. She liked reading and was sure Axel gave her this room on purpose.“You can’t be walking around naked.” Kira shrugged as Rebecca walked towards her.“Didn’t know someone was here.” Rebecca replied as she picked the gown from the bed.“Courtesy?” “Axel wants you to put it on.” Kira informed. She observed the dress for a while before moving her gaze to Kira. “It’s late for goodness sake, why should I put this on?” It was a long black sleeveless go
She didn’t want to seem weak, she didn’t want him to see her tears. Quickly, she turned and headed for the door, but her steps halted when he spoke up.“There’s no lady.” She didn’t know whether to continue or stay back. She wiped her tears and slowly turned. “I’m not dumb, Axel. Don’t try to cover up.”“I’m not covering up.” His voice was low. He took slow strode towards her and when he got to her front, he grabbed her wrist, his fingers stroking the butterfly tattoo.“When I first saw this, I was excited because it means you do not hate me as you claim…” He looked up and found her staring at him with confusion displayed in her brown eyes.“You have all the reason to hate me, Becca, you really do. But please…” he took a deep breath, a bit hesitant. “Do not hate me for long.” Rebecca was too confused to speak. She didn’t know what to say or how to react. Indeed she hated him for what he did, but for some days now she had been seeing him differently, even after persuading
Rebecca stood dumbstruck, confused on what to do. She stared at the lifeless body of the driver, then back at Axel’s retreating figure. From his behavior, she could tell he was angry. Who wouldn’t be? She had asked for this, but now she couldn’t face it. She was too soft to take someone’s life, and it would keep haunting her.“Axel!” She called as she ran after him. She was able to meet up with him when he walked into the house, and in order to stop him, she rushed to his front, blocking him.“Axel.”“What is it, Becca?” His tone was normal and she began to think she was overreacting, maybe Axel wasn’t angry after all. While his tone showed he wasn’t angry, his face said otherwise. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were squinted as he stared at her.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have…”“It’s cool, Becca.” His gaze softened. “What happened today made me realize I haven’t been thinking right.”“What do you mean?” Her brows raised questioningly. He licked his lips and her eyes ave
It was late at night and Rebecca was seen taking a walk around the compound. The bright light around made it easier for her to find her way. Her steps halted when she spotted someone standing a few distance from her. She couldn’t see the face of the person because his back was turned against her. She could tell it wasn’t Axel, because he was taller than that. Curiously, she walked to where the guy stood, and when the guy noticed a presence, he turned. Seeing it was Rebecca, he bowed shortly. Rebecca’s brows raised slightly as she wondered the reason for his gesture. “Hi.” The guy was familiar, he was one of the men that came to Eric’s hideout with Axel.“Do you need me to help you with anything?” He asked politely.“No… I mean yes.”“What can I help you with?”“Why can’t Eric be killed?” She asked the question that had been bothering her. She was sure Axel had the chance to kill him, but he didn’t. And Eric’s confidence increased her curiosity.“I and the others do n
Subconsciously, Rebecca dragged Axel, but it was too late. She was only fortunate the bullet hit Axel’s shoulder, instead of his back. Her late drag helped a bit, by saving Axel from being shot in a vital place.“Axel!” She screamed as blood rushed out of his left shoulder. Axel’s shoulders slumped, he held his bleeding shoulder with his right hand as he slowly turned.“Son of a bitch.” He muttered under his breath and the next thing he heard was a gun shot. The man who shot him was shot in the stomach and within the blink of an eye, he was on the floor gasping for breath. “In your next life, do not act out of emotions.” When Axel heard Kira’s voice, he knew she was the one that shot the guy, and he couldn’t help but to be proud.“You’re bleeding a lot!” Rebecca panicked. “Someone call 911.”“It’s not that deep. We have to go home, I’ll get treated at home.” Axel spoke softly.“Not that deep?” Rebecca was annoyed. She was a doctor and she knew that too much bleeding wasn’t
Rebecca was a bit confused. “Our savior? Who?” She questioned curiously.“Axel.” Kira replied, her smile broadened. Rebecca’s confusion doubled. Eric had gotten rid of all the CCTV footages and there was no way Axel would know they were taken by him. And how was he able to find the address? It was questioning. If it was true the person who rode the car outside was Axel, how did Kira know? And why wasn’t she also confused?“There’s something you aren’t telling me, right?” Kira kissed her teeth. “Maybe, but now it’s not the right time. Get ready to leave this shit hole.” She shrugged her shoulders and stood alongside with Kira. A gunshot was heard and she flinched immediately. She exchanged looks with Kira, “What if…”“Not Axel.” Kira replied calmly. She was awed by the fact that Kira had so much faith in Axel. Another gunshot was heard, then another one, and another.“Why aren’t you bothered!” She flared up when she noticed Kira didn’t look stressed about the w
As kira ran down the hall way, she kept looking back to see if the men chasing after her were closer, and when she noticed there was a huge distance between them, she rushed into the room at the end of the hallway only to find one of the masked men there. Regardless of his presence, she locked the door and turned to him.“Who are you?” He asked, pointing his gun at her. Kira dropped her gun on the floor and raised her two hands up. “I don’t mean no harm.” She said, as she slowly approached him.“Where is the lady?” He questioned.“You mean Rebecca? Your boss has her already.” Kira replied, she was almost close to him. When she heard footsteps ascending, she knew the men chasing her were close. She moved her gaze to the laptop at the bedside table and calculated how many steps she had to take just to get there. A loud bang was heard outside and she knew her mission was almost impossible.“You can’t escape!” The thick voices of the men were heard.“Come on doll, you’ve been cau
