Chapter 4: Strip I.

"I need backup now!!" Cleopatra said, running off.

She hid behind a pillar when a gun was fired at her direction.

"B*tches!" She spatted and began shooting them down one after the other but more of them kept coming at her.

"Argh!" She groaned when a bullet took her arm.

A guard made to shoot at her but was immediately gunned down by someone else. He fell down and Flame came to view.

She tied her red hair up in a ponytail and began dribbling them all with bullet with her M16 riffle.

"Over here!" Rexton said from behind and Cleopatra followed him.

They began shooting at the men while they advanced to the exit with Flame followed, backing them up.

Their helicopter was ready so they immediately hopped in and Rexton sat down on the pilot's seat and turned on the engine. Slowly the helicopter began taking off.

Flame hopped in too and threw and threw down the riffle she was having, picking up the Bazuka.

Just with one shot, it blew up all the guards who were aiming for them.

Rexton waited till the helicopter was at a farther distance before pressing on a button, activating the timer on the bomb

"3..2..1"

At the count of "1", the whole villa immediately blew up at once. 

"Task done. LA, here we come" Rexton smiled.

"F**k, be quick I'm losing too much blood" Cleopatra hissed, tying a bandage round her arm.

"Congratulations Flame on your first mission" Rexton said to Flame who just nodded with a poker look on her face.

Cleopatra looked at Flame then hissed and rolled her eyes.

••THE DARK BULL CLAN••

Amour walked around, observing the places around her. The mobster were all walking around. Some were seen discussing while some were at the firing range, exercising their shooting skills.

# Isn't that the thief?

# Yeah, boss declared her as his possession

# I wonder what he sees in her? I'm way prettier

# She must be feeling on top of the world now

Amour looked down as she felt uncomfortable with all the gazes she was receiving, most of them were unfriendly looks.

Relief washed through her when she finally saw the kitchen so she went in. 3 maids were cooking while 4 were carrying the dishes heading to the main dining hall to set the table.

"Hurry up! Be quick! We have less than 15 minutes left for lunch" The head cook said..

"Amour!" Someone called her and she turned to see it was Coralyn.

"CoCo" Amour rushed to her.

"You're now walking, I can see you're healing pretty fast." Coralyn smiled.

"That's my mom.. The chief cook" Coralyn pointed at the woman who kept scolding the other cooks.

"Isn't this the thief?" A girl came to stand beside Coralyn

Coralyn immediately noticed the nervous look on Amour's face

"Don't mind my nosy friend. Meet Amour, Amour meet Ruby, my friend" Coralyn said.

"Hi" Amour waved slowly

Ruby looked at Amour from head to toe.

"CoCo, we need to dress the dinner table" Ruby ignored Amour and left

Amour bit her lips even more. She does that each time she feels nervous.

"Don't mind my friend.. She's just being a little judgemental with the rumors about you" Coralyn said and Amour nodded.

"Here, that's the boss's meal. He hates tardiness so you should hurry and serve him in his suite" Coralyn said.

"Me? Why me!" Amour said without thinking.

"Boss gave us strict orders. From now on, you'll be the on in charge of everything he eats.. You're now his personal maid" Coralyn said

"Gotta go!" Coralyn smiled and left.

Amour looked at food and sighed out, she felt like crying at the moment.

"Why me? I don't want to see that monster" She thought.

••AURELIO'S SUITE••

Aurelio could be seen sitting on his couch in the living room, smoking as he looked at the picture on his phone.

It was a picture of a girl who held a cute smile on her face as she stood beside a boy who looked like he was being forced to take a picture.

He zoomed on the picture particularly on the girl's picture and his hand ran through the girl's face.

A soft knock came up.

"Come in"

Amour swallowed hard before she opened the door and came in with his meal.

"I.. I'm here to bring y-your lunch" Amour stuttered.

Aurelio didn't look at her so she took it as a go-ahead to walk in. She pushed in the cart and began dressing the dining room.

The cold and weird aura surrounding him made her feel so uncomfortable that she just prayed to leave as soon as possible.

"Turn"

His deep voice startled her that the fork fell from her hand.

"Huh?" She muttered.

"Turn.. I won't repeat myself" Aurelio muttered

Amour swallowed hard and slowly turned around with her head down.

Aurelio looked up at her. His eyes scanned through her body from head to toe and he smirked

"Strip" He muttered.

Amour blinked her eyes as she looked at him and then bit her lips nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

"Is.. Is this some kind of food?"

The cigarette stick fell from Aurelio's hand.
