Chapter 5 - Strip!

Scarlett rushed out of the bed immediately

"I'm out of the room, where's Jaden?" She spoke into the hearing aid 

"He's on his way, hurry out of the room" Athena replied and immediately Scarlett opened the door but bumped into a guard

"Is everything okay?" He asked

"Yeah" Scarlett replied

The guard suddenly saw the blood on Scarlett's hand but she didn't give him room to talk before stabbing him too, he fell on the floor but got up again, chasing Scarlett while she ran. 

All of a sudden, Jaden jumped down from nowhere and just one of his leg kick sent him flying

"Thanks," Scarlett said

"The key, there's no time," Jaden said and Scarlett brought it out immediately

She handed it to Jaden and they proceeded to the mob power room immediately

"Boss, Gunner and his men are here" they heard Athena's voice

"I can handle this," Scarlett said and took the key from him again before running off.

Inside, Scarlett already found the money. She carried it and turned to go out of the door but bumped into Midnight, Gunner's girlfriend, who released a smirk

"Great job b*tch, now can I get the bag?" She asked and Scarlett smiled

"Yes sure, come take it," She said Sarcastically and Midnight laughed

"Can't wait to hear that from you" She said

"No, your laugh will turn to tears instead," Scarlett said and attacked first but Midnight ducked her and kicked her tummy instead

Scarlett landed on the floor but didn't last a second before getting up again

"You've finally invited death for coming during the day and not midnight," Scarlett said and charged toward her without dropping the bag in her hand and the fight started, both seem to have the same skill since none of them is getting one another.

"What are you doing in there?" Jaden asked her through the hearing aid, she could feel him running

Midnight tried using the opportunity to attack but Scarlett gave her two flying kicks all at a time and she flew across the room, her back landed on the wall and she fell roughly on the floor, she made to get up again but Scarlett caught her at the corner and tried twisting her neck. 

Midnight struggled hard with her and she didn't succeed, suddenly an arrow sucked into Midnight's arm and she screamed.

Scarlett turned to see Lilith

"Get out," Lilith said and Scarlett ran out with her. 

"What's going on outside?" Scarlett asked

"Gunner's men are quite much but Tikka and Elias are taking care of them, just follow me and don't try fighting with that bag in your hand, leave everything to me and protect it at all cost," Lilith said as Scarlett walked behind her until they got outside

Scarlett entered the car with Seth and Athena without waiting

Elias seems to be injured a little bit in his arm

"Are you okay?" Lilith asked and he nodded

"Where is the boss?" Lilith asked

"The boss is still here, he gave the order to leave without him," Elias replied

"You can go," Lilith said and without waiting, she ran back in

ROOFTOP**

Jaden is in a tough fight with two men, Gunner, and his right-hand man but they both have masks on their faces, his target was Gunner but he doesn't know who is who

Jaden hit them both at once and they landed on the ground together in a rough way, they brought out their guns and started shooting, but that didn't stop him, he ducked all the bullets as he ran to them 

They seem to be getting tired but not him,

He grabbed them both at once and dropped Them heavily on the ground, immediately one of them ran off and escaped. 

Jaden and the second one continued the fight alone even though he couldn't get Jaden for once, in a minute he was already on the floor while Jaden tried strangling him but he kept resisting

"Boss!" Suddenly the voice came from the back and Jaden turned without releasing the guy under him

Lilith threw her sword to him and Jaden caught it at once, without waiting, he slide it right into the guy's throat and a scream of agony followed, and then silence, He was dead.

Jaden removed the guy's mask and it wasn't Gunner, crazy anger filled him up and he shoved the guy's head from his neck angrily

The blood splashed all over his face, he stood up and turned to Lilith. She stared at him with a blank face as he walked toward her, he gave her back her sword and they both walked out

FALCONS EMPIRE> 9 PM**

Valerie opened her eyes slowly wondering where she was, she could see she was In a room and on a bed, but how?

"You're awake" She heard the voice and turned in the direction

Madam Zuna walked closer to her

"How are you feeling? I treated your wounds" She said softly and for the first time since she came here Valerie finally heard someone speaking softly to her

"I am In pain" She muttered 

"I know, it will take days to heal up. You might fall sick too, your temperature was quite high earlier" Madam Zuna said

"Who are you?" Valerie asked 

"Why don't you go into the bathroom and take your bath first? Then you eat and we talk better" Madam Zuna said and Valerie managed to get down from the bed, she was trying hard to take every pain in.

"That's the bathroom" Madam Zuna pointed

Valerie went in and after using almost an hour in the bathroom trying to take a proper and thorough wash, she came out. 

Madam Zuna handed the maid's uniform to her, a short skirt and a blouse. She didn't argue, she had seen some girls wearing the same thing and nobody has to tell her before she knows she was becoming one. 

She put it on, the skirt hardly covering up to her thighs, it was quite tight too but who is she to complain?? 

"You can eat now?" Madam Zana said moving the stool closer to her on the bed and she started eating

"You can call me Madam Zana, I'm in charge of the kitchen." She introduced

"I'm.... Valerie" Valerie muttered while eating the food hungrily, the way she was munching on the chicken was a bit wild

Madam Zana didn't bother telling her to slow down. 

She was still eating when they heard a knock and Madam Zana stood up, she went to open the door and a guard came in

"I'm here for her," He said, pointing at Valerie who immediately looked up

"Why?" Madam Zana asked 

"From the boss, follow me right away" 

Valerie immediately stood up, she gulped down a glass of water

"Go on go on," Madam Zana said and Valerie followed the guard out

She couldn't help but think, why is he calling her? Is there another punishment she's about to face? If that's it, then she has no chance of living at this rate. 

They kept on walking until they stopped in front of Jaden's office

On the door was written boldly, BOSS with a picture of a cobra.

The guard went in and came back again

Valerie's heart was in her mouth already

"Go in," he said and walked away

Valerie wasted no time, who knows what annoys him? She entered the office, her whole body shaking.

Jaden was standing, staring out of the window while smoking heavily 

"I'm.....here" She found her voice and there was silence

Minutes later, Jaden turned and her heart skipped two beats at a time. His Face alone Is enough to kill her

She immediately buried her gaze on the floor

Jaden glared at her, his eyes all over her body. Maybe this is the first time he's ever tried to take a complete look at her, even though she was looking beautiful, all Jaden could see in her was her father and his rage took control over him

"Strip!" Jaden said the least expected word
