In the same night, at an old building in town, just below the train station, a gang was finalising their deal. With the shipment having arrived with no delays, the clients had arrived with large sums of money. The exchange was underway, with both teams inspecting their various bags when out of nowhere, a gun shot was fired and the trans took cover instantly.

They opened fire, firing at all the directions since they couldn't locate the first shot. A minute later one of them had raised their hands and called for a cease fire. A silence ensured, before they glanced around. There was no one.

One of them walked stealthy around, but could spot no one.

" What the fuck was that?" One last them asked .

" I hope you guys didn't think of setting us up," Don said. He was Dela Costa brothers right hand man, heading the operations in Arizona after their return.

    Few minutes to midnight, Zippy had slowly made her way upstairs, dragging her feet on the long staircase. Zia was just an animal, having made her go through tonnes of documents. The worse thing was that she had to be at work the next day in the morning. But she had loved it all the same, getting something new to do everyday.At the same time, Zia had worn her favourite red leather pants and jacket. She climbed onto her bike and sped off in the dark night. Her security was a safe distance away, not spoiling any of her plans.The bike had roared down the empty streets, into the alley that was out of the security's radar, having no cameras around.She stopped infont of a little cabin, with just a little light coming from the inside.She could hear grunting voices from the inside and this couldn't make her more happier. She kicked opened the wooden door with a bang, falling few metres into the room.Her eyes darted across the room and immediately formed a sly smile seeing the figure tied

    Elvira woke up exhausted. She immediately checked her mobile for any updates. The bloody images of Asriel filled her mobile. She shouted in frustration, throwing off the bedding to the ground before she had gotten out of bed. That nerve of that woman, she never let her get a taste of her revenge she has in store for Asriel having murdered her grandmother in cold blood. If she could catch her right now she would squirt the life out of her.Rage had filled Elvira to the core, the only thing keeping her away from insanity was the fact that she was alone.

However she felt dizzy and dropped down to the ground, hitting her head slightly on the white fluffy mat.The maid who was cleaning heard her cry and immediately stormed into the room and found her lying unconscious on the ground.

    " You ailing?" Costa asked after he had cleared his throat. He glanced at her with his dark specs, and Elvira couldn't tell his expression. But he looked like a deadly sin. Both his hands in his trouser pockets, his hair brushed neatly to the back. His twin Dela had the same pose and Elvira felt herself lost just in admiring them.For anyone it could be hard to identify between the two guys, but Elvira had done that easily. While Costa had a air of pride and arrogance around him, Dela was just unfathomable, his expression cold, almost unreadable. It seemed everything around him was too bothersome and he couldn't wait to get over with whatever it was. Even as Costa took a step in, he stood by the door, almost as though he wanted to escape unnoticed." I wouldn't put it that way," Elvira replied." Oh..so what's wrong with you then? Costa asked." Apparently I'm pregnant. Silly isn't it. I just had to be pregnant after what I consider rape. I don't even know who the father is," Elvira

    It was already thirty minutes past two in the afternoon. Zippy stretched herself in the CEO chair as she swang around. Her neck arched, her eyes teary from glancing down at the many paper work Zia had her do for her. If that was the kind of work one had to do for the lifestyle Zia lived, then it wouldn't be so easy for her.A knock at the door broke her out of her thoughts. She shouted for whoever it was to get in, she was annoyed thinking that it was the same secretary handing her more work to do. With her back turned against the door, she waited till the footsteps got closer to the desk." Do drop them on the table," Zippy said dismissing him with her hands. She let out an exhausted sigh as she leaned back on the chair, crossing her leg on the other so that her thighs remained visible through her high plit dress.She waited to hear the door close, but it seemed the guy had just refused to go." Do you need anything else Felix?" Zippy's exhausted tone came through. Yet there wasn't

It wasn't until Nicko rushed in that he was able to separate the two women." Are you mad woman,why are you still fighting me for your husband? Didn't I let him go several years ago.

The team had taken a moment back to watch the two battle it out, the general and Zia, fighting to finish off as many enemies as possible.Beside the armoured van, Costa shielded Elvira with his body, firing his gun at intervals. He could feel just how frightened she was, her body shaking uncontrollably. For the first time in his life Costa felt fear, and fear was something unacceptable in his life.

    Carlos walked back to the room after ensuring that Zia is safely tucked in bed.She walked over to Getrude who sat dejectedly on the couch. She glanced up at him once before staring into space." Ma'am, just know that I'm aware of how you are feeling right now, but your daughter is all grown up now. All you can do is support her as she tries to find her way in this world," " Actually, she is just too young to handle everything, but somehow she's been exceptional at everything. The few mistakes, the frustrations she is feeling is all part of her growing up. I'm sure if you just listened to her, you might have the perfect relationship," Carlos said. He was so polite and cool. The dreadful side of him seem to disappear whenever he was with Zia, and now that he had in laws, he had to act to his best." Please take care of my daughter. I know I'm not the best mother, but I tried to make everyone happy, only to destroy my daughter's life. I hope she can be happy with you and the little fam

Ma'am, I would suggest that you give Zia sometime alone. I'll talk to her. This isn't the right time for her to get upset," Carlos said and didn't wait for her response before he disappeared upstairs.Getrude sat to the ground dejectedly. She glanced up at Zippy and gave her a dirty look. Just how could the two have possibly met?" Zippy..." Alvin started.Zippy threw her hands in the air dismissing him. She then headed for the stairs.The maids had left too, just Getrude and Alvin remained in the living room." Mother... didn't we agree that you won't meddle into Zia's life, why not let her get used to this life of hers," Alvin said."
