"Did I just hear her voice or am I just overthinking?" I couldn't bear her finding me from where I was hiding so I acted brave and came out to face them.
" Don't tell me you guys are waiting for me?" I didn't know what card to play so I giggled trying to act friendly.
"I thought you'll not come home, now that you're here. Pay up" He raised his voice higher more so that all the residents could hear, I wasn't moved by it a bit.
I may be poor but in the unbothered land, I'm the unbothered Queen.
" Have I ever paid you by cash?" I ask waiting for his response as he made an eye showing that *No*
" My new boss loves me so much and plans to pay me heftily if I work tomorrow again, so if you can wait till tomorrow or you might've as well followed me to my workplace" I muttered, I was feeling crazily scared unsure of their reaction towards my idiotic blabber.
" We'll be here this time tomorrow" The family chorused as if they've been practicing this for years.
"That's if you meet me here" I smirk as they walked away, I'm the happiest that I didn't have many items to pack anyway.
"Settlement!…. The settlement" This sentence kept repeating itself in my head as I started to wonder where I heard it from.
I was feeling asleep immediately I fell on the bed and I didn't know when I drifted off.
"Don't touch me!"
"Someone help!"
"Help me!" The teenage girl whose face I couldn't recognize cried as she was being dragged by two hefty men.
"I didn't do anything for you so why are you taking me away, I have things to attend to. Pardon me if.." she couldn't finish her sentence before a thundering slap landed on her pale cheeks.
Tears gushed out like that of tap water because a sharp cut was on her cheeks and blood rushed out.
"You should keep shut if you want to live" The unfamiliar voice warned as she grabbed her throat.
"Take her away" She ordered
" Don't take…Don't take…pl.." I gasp from the bed as sweats trickled down my forehead.
What the hell was that? My dreams have always been of fantasies, romance, always staying with my prince charming why did I have such a scary dream, and who's the girl that was being tortured?
Different sorts of questions aroused in my head but I ignored it all and went back to sleep after drinking a full bottle of water.
Jake
The twin was asleep before we even got to the mansion and I carried them up with the help of my guard.
I patted their hairs trying to put them into good sleep when the underground room alarm went off, I pulled the duvet cover over them and scurried out.
"What's going on?" Ken asked and I wanted to slap him for such a question.
"Why ask me such a foolish question as if you're new here, people will think that you're a rookie!" I half yelled and he falls to the ground.
"Forgive me boss" He was being sincere but it's nighttime already, the time am always dangerous.
I look handsome in the day and cold at the night, you can never read my mind.
" Stay in the same position till I get back " I ordered and tried walking away but he grabbed my leg.
"Boss, I'll die in this position…it also takes a very long time for you to come out so…"
"So? You're questioning my order, Die if you want to die then I'll find someone better than you" I growl and walked away acting mercilessly.
The door screeched open as I got to the underground entrance, all the mafia's from my clan stood up to welcome me into the meeting…. Some idiots were acting all strong-headed and didn't stand up.
" Hmph! Hmph!" I made an unnecessary sound but it was a threat to those that knew it.
"If standing up could be a problem when you can walk to clubs without helping hand then I should break that leg... Bring 4th Lio out!" I ordered as my husky voice filled the darkroom.
" Forgive me, My Lord, I'll never be disrespectful again" He pleaded but I'm turning a deaf ear to it.
"Of course you'll never be disrespectful again once you're paralyzed, you won't sleep with all teenage girls and force money on their parents" I revealed all his hidden schemes.
" Who's next?" I asked whilst sitting on the chair pulled out for me as mumble begin to rise.
"He's becoming wicked because he can't find his w***e wife" It was as if my whole system stopped working and my body was sore.
With a glazing eye, I rushed towards him in a swift while grasping his throat with full force. "How dare you talk back to me? How dare you call my wife a w***e?" His eyes were pleading for mercy but it was too late as I could see him walking on the path of death already.
"All meetings are adjourned to next month and I don't want to ever see anyone around me?" I growl and walked away, I rested my back on the underground metal door as beads of sweat rolled down my forehead.
"You call her your wife, Haven't you seen enough" My subconscious scolded me and I was unsure of the reason why I killed him because he called my wife a w***e.
"Dad!" At first, I thought I was hearing things and made my way to the kitchen to get some refreshments, I knew this personal guard of mine would have drifted off into wonderland and I walked without helping him up.
"Dad, Dad" The glass cup slipped and shattered into the pieces, I couldn't wait to clean it up as I knew it was dangerous but my kids are my top priority.
" Ken!" I turn on the lights and their room was bright, Kendall runs towards me and dragged me to Kylie's bed.
" I'm not going, I'll stay with dad Leave me alone! Leave me!"
"Kylie!" I shook her hoping she would snap out of it.
"Leave me alone"
"Kylie!! " I pulled her up with force and hugged her tightly, her body was cold as ice and her forehead is burning like hell.
What to do??
