Chapter 13 & 14 : A Night of Confessions
☙{ Camilla }☙
“Say my name you bitch, say it” he ordered softly.
“Ri– Ricardo” she moaned out and everything else was lost to the two who kept seeking pleasure from each other till the fire in them got quench.
The birds chirping outside the room woke Flora up. At first she was disoriented, she wondered what she was doing in an unfamiliar room.
But when she moved and felt a pain in-between her legs, everything came rushing to her.
Ricardo had slept with her last night and the worst part of it was that she hadn’t put up much fight instead she had been moaning out his name like some whore.
Feeling ashamed of her action, she sat up to leave but then a glance at Ricardo got her sleeping back on the bed.
“Is he having a night mare?” She thought as she watch him grip the pillow while looking restless.
Instinctively her hand reach out to touch his cheek. His face was hard underneath her touch, hard as the man himself, she thought as she slowly pulled away and he chose that moment to wake up.
“Camilla!” He called out as he finally woke from his troubled sleep and Flora who had been startled by his action quickly shut her eyes pretending to be asleep.
She heard him let out a sigh and for a while, she could feel his gaze on her. She thought he was going to pull her into his arms and continue from where he stopped last night but then she heard the bed gave way and a while later, she heard him going through his wardrobe.
Dressed in his gym outfit, Ricardo got to the door way only to stop.
“Am going out for my morning exercise and I don’t want to meet you here when I return” with that said he left the room.
After having trained for three hours in the gym, Ricardo made way to Giorgio’s room.
He got to his brother room only to find him still asleep. Drawing the window sill apart Giorgio groaned out in frustration before turning his gaze on the intruder.
“You piece of shit!” Giorgio said as he angrily got out of bed in just a pair of black silk boxers.
“I suggest you don’t try anything that is if you want to keep on living” Ricardo drawled out slowly.
“What did you do to Flora? Where the hell did you take her?” Giorgio bark at him.
“I think I took her to heaven to be precise” Ricardo replied remembering how Flora moan underneath him last night ” And I solely came here to warn you. Pull up another stupid trick and I won’t hesitate to get you out of the way” Ricardo said and was about to leave when Giorgio lash out at him.
“You are doing this to get back at me for what happened to Camilla right?”
“Don’t you dare utter her name” A very angry Ricardo yelled at Giorgio who moved back in fear a little.
“You should realise that you are hurting Flora the same way Camilla was… don’t you think it’s time you let her go?”
“You certainly would love that right. Sorry dude but Flora is mine now, you know there are times when your action proves to me that you don’t love her as you claim, you only hate the fact that I took away your precious possession. I doubt if Flora will keep on loving you if she found this out” Ricardo stated before walking out of his room.
He was wiping off his sweat when Leon showed up.
“You called for me ” Leon said as soon as he arrive.
“Keep a close eye on Flora. Stick close to her always and give her no chance to escape again” Ricardo gave out his orders.
“When you weren’t in your room last night, I was worried” Mona said as she sat on the chair while Flora sat on the bed in her room.
“Am sorry I made you worried. I was just– I “she stopped as she recall the night with Ricardo.
“You spent the whole night with Ricardo and judging by that blush, you both had a terrific night right?” Marissa who had been watching her quietly for a while finally spoke up.
“Tell me how it felt. Well it sure feels great to have Ricardo shaft rocking inside you while you moan out in pleasure, it must have been–”
“Oh shut up Marissa” Mona caution before starring at Flora. ” Are you okay? How do you feel?” She asked.
“Terrible. I still can’t believe that my first time was taken in such a manner and I can’t bring myself to see Giorgio. I feel so guilty” Flora cried out while Marissa and Mona tried to comfort her.
“And by the way who is Camilla?” Flora asked amidst her tears. ” He had called out her name– seems like he was having a night mare”
“With everything that happened with Camilla, he’s bound to have a night mare” Mona muttered.
“What happened?”
“Five years ago Camilla joined our team and somehow, she and Ricardo got close. Back then they were very close that we believe them to be dating but Camilla was caught to be a spy and ultimately Ricardo had to kill her himself” Marissa explained.
“It must have been awful” Flora said, her heart aching for the pain Ricardo must have felt.
“It had been. Though it had taken Ricardo two years to get over it and that’s why we dare not mention her name ” Mona added quickly.
“Why?”
“Because the boss gets angry and when he gets angry, hell will certainly break loose. So whatever you do, don’t mention her name” Marissa ended hoping she listens to her.
Giorgio Room
Giorgio was getting ready for the day when Queenie walk into his room.
“You are the last person I want to see right now. So f**k off” Giorgio said angrily.
“Athena must have told you right?”
“She did and am very mad at you! How could you have told Ricardo?” He demanded.
“I did it to stop you from making a mistake. Anything you did have always landed you in trouble and I didn’t want that to happen again” Queenie replied wanting to make him see reason.
“Get lost cause what you are saying is getting me more angry”
“But you don’t love her! So why make a fuss if Ricardo wants her” Queenie yelled at him.
“That’s because she’s mine! I saw her first, she belongs to me” Giorgio replied steely.
“But have always been yours too. Way long before her, even when you began seeing her, you never stopped f**king me”
“Shut up Queenie”
“Though you’ve pushed me away but still am yours for the taking Giorgio. I want to be your woman again, I want you to hold me and touch me just like you did in the past” She said this even as she move towards him and slowly her hand held his manhood and she began to caress it.
“Take me Giorgio. Am all yours” Queenie added as she move away to pull off her dress leaving her bare to his gaze.
“F**k! You definitely asked for it” Giorgio rasp out before locking lips with her and lifting her by the waist, he walk with her to the bed.
Mona was up on the stool trying to take a jar when she lost her footing and would have fallen if someone hadn’t caught her.
She looked up at her saviour and let out a smile when she saw that it was Bonnie.
“Are you okay?” A worried Bonnie asked and she nodded even as she stood on her own.
“I don’t know what part of my body would have gotten hurt if you hadn’t showed up” she said smiling up at him and Bonnie was lost starring at her beautiful face.
Not being able to suppress himself, he push back a straying lock of hair from her face also startling Mona by his action.
“Mona I–”
“Why the hell are you here?” Ten question stopped whatever he was going to say.
“To do something” Bonnie replied.
“Something like what?” Ten asked as he move towards Mona to snake his arm around her waist.
“Something that is none of your business” Bonnie returned fiercely.
“Thanks a lot for your help Bonnie. I really appreciate” Mona said quickly as she disentangle herself from Ten.
“Your welcome” Bonnie said as he sent her a smile before leaving the kitchen.
“What exactly is your problem?” Mona turned to him as soon as Bonnie left the kitchen.
“My problem? I got back from a trip just to find my girl being hit on by another guy and you dare to ask me what my problem is?”
“I wasn’t being hit on by Bonnie and the earlier you accept that am no longer your girl, the better for us both” Mona return coldly and made to leave but quickly he held her from behind.
“Am sorry for lashing out at you. Am sorry for asking us to break up when I should have done my best to soothe your anger. I love you Mona and am not prepared to let you go ” he muttered and gave her a kiss on the neck before walking out of the kitchen.
Flora was roaming around the area knowing that Leon and some men were slowly following her from behind.
Ricardo must have put them up to it…she thought as she walk past a room only to see Dacio there.
For a while she was transfixed at the way he was punching the bag and she ended up going in to join him in the gym.
“I want to learn” Flora said earning Dacio’s attention.
“There are a lot of things I teach, you’ve got to be more specific cause I doubt Ricardo would want me to teach you the one I have in mind” Dacio replied.
“Self defence, can you teach me?” Flora asked.
“Oh, so you wanna learn self defense, so you can attack Ricardo right? I suggest you find someone else” Dacio said as he continued punching the bag.
She went to hold onto the bag ruining Dacio’s attempt to hit it.
“Please, teach me” Flora implored earnestly.
“Fine but I doubt if you will you last” Dacio muttered and a while later he was showing Flora how to maintain a good stance.
This got him standing very close to her back while he showed her how to make a punch.
This was how Ricardo met them when he was passing by.
“If you don’t want Dacio training her, I–”
“That’s not the main issue” Ricardo replied cutting Leon off while glaring at Dacio who now had his hand on Flora’s waist.
Feeling angry by this, Ricardo walk towards them and pulled Flora away from him.
“Ric! I was just showing her the basics and nothing more” Dacio said quickly.
“Don’t ever think of showing it to her again” Ricardo warn before pulling Flora out of the gym.
As soon as they got to his room, he pinned her hard against the wall.
“Are you trying to use Dacio to escape now?” He asked while she shook her head slowly.
“I just wanted him to–”
“Shut up and listen. I don’t want you getting close to other men and most especially I don’t want them touching you, so make sure you stay away if you want them to stay alive and also don’t even think of escaping again cause if you do– I will find you and once I do, you will regret ever being born. Do I make myself clear?” He demanded and a frightened Flora nodded in reply.
Tossing her aside, he walked into the room and pulled off his shirt only to hear Flora say.
“And did you ask this of Camilla? Did you forcefully slept with her? Did you tell her to stay away from other men and did you threaten her just so she wouldn’t escape before you ended up killing her?” Flora asked and it wasn’t until he turned to her that Marisa’s warning came back to taunt her.
“Because the boss gets angry and when he gets angry, hell will certainly break loose. So whatever you do, don’t mention her name”
“What did you just say?” He asked angrily.
Oh, She’s certainly done for… Flora thought.
Chapter 15 & 16 : Dangerous Games
☙{ The Party }
“What did you just say?” He asked angrily.
Oh, She’s certainly done for… Flora thought.
“I just asked you a question! ” Ricardo angry voice jolt her back to the present.
She should have payed attention to Marissa and should have kept quiet, she thought silently cursing herself.
“I– I didn’t say anything, I just– I just– you must have heard wrong” she said slowly retracing her step.
“Then how about I make you remember what you said ” he muttered moving towards her and immediately, Flora ran out of the room like her life depend on it.
She was breathing heavily when she made it down the hall and luckily for her, Ricardo wasn’t following.
“That was close” she muttered just as she spot Mona.
“Let me help” Flora said as she took the heavy tray filled with food from her.
“Thanks. It’s time for breakfast and no matter how busy everyone is, they always show up for breakfast” Mona told her as they walk into the dinning room which had some occupant in it.
“If it isn’t the boss lady” Bonnie murmured on seeing Flora.
“Watch what you say? There’s a difference in being fked and being the boss lady” Athena said to Bonnie who rolled his eyes at her. “Well at least, she has been fked by the boss whereas you haven’t even been able to accomplish a thing” Marissa let out as she walk into the room.
“You keep on getting on my nerve, Marissa!” Athena warn as she sat up banging the table.
“Come hit me then” Marissa jeered in return annoying Athena.
“Now easy girls. It’s too early to begin a fight” Dacio said as he walk towards Athena putting his arm around her stiff shoulder.
” You are right, Dacio. It’s too early for a fight” Marissa quickly said starring at him dreamily.
By then Red and Ten had arrived to join the group including a hungry Leon and Tony.
“I believe that things have been hectic lately and that’s why I propose we have a– party!” Dacio suggested excitedly.
“But we only hold a party whenever we succeed in a mission” Mona commented and that got Dacio moving away from Athena to stand in between Mona and Flora.
“It’s true that we only hold a party whenever a mission has been accomplish but then we also hold a party whenever someone new join us and that someone new is little miss Flora here” Dacio said his gaze trained on Flora.
“We only welcome those who work with us but she’s not doing that” Athena said glaring at Flora.
“That doesn’t matter, she’s new here and so a party must be held in her honour. Who agrees with me?” Dacio asked and everyone agreed apart from Athena.
“You all are annoying” she said before leaving the breakfast room almost knocking down a poor maid bringing in more food.
“Now that that has been decided. Let’s all have our breakfast” Dacio said as he took a seat while Mona and Flora served them.
“Partying freak!” Ten muttered under his breath while starring at Dacio but Red who was seated beside him had heard.
“Arrgh! I hate them all” Athena let out her frustration as soon as she got to the garden.
“Am I among the people you hate?” Someone ask behind her and she turn to see a girl there.
“Claire” Athena called out in relieve before going to hug her.
“Your lesbo babe is back. How have you been fairing?” Claire asked still holding onto Athena.
“A lot has happened ever since you left for your holiday” Athena cooed softly.
“A lot? Don’t tell me that you and Ricardo are finally an item?” Claire asked.
“I wish we were but – see that girl over there?” Athena said as she spun Claire around to take a look at Flora who was heading back to the kitchen.
“She’s beautiful, exactly my type” Claire said while licking her lips.
“If you are interested in her, you are too late since she’s f**king Ricardo” Athena let out angrily.
“What! Didn’t you do something about it? “
“How can I? Ricardo hardly pays attention to me, it’s like she has completely bewitch him”
“So what? Are you going to give up on Ricardo. You’ve been in love with him for years, will you just let that little twerp steal him away?” Claire asked.
“Of course not and it’s one of the reason am glad you are back. With you here, I can get rid of her for good” Athena said which got Claire smiling.
“Then we might as well start thinking of something cause the longer she stays, the slimmer your chance with Ricardo is” Claire replied as they both made way to their room.
“You seriously aren’t going to come?” Dacio asked Ricardo who was busy checking out some important document.
“Am not” Ricardo replied slowly.
“But your girl is going to be there, she’s the reason why we are throwing a party tonight “.
“Let’s get one thing straight. Flora is not my girl and she won’t ever be one” Ricardo let out steely and that got Dacio sitting up right.
“But with the way you took her away from Giorgio, I thought you were–” Dacio let the words trail off when he saw the look Ricardo gave him.
“That I was in love with her? You should know by now that love isn’t for me. I’d rather take and discard just like you do and after all I learnt my lesson a long time ago” Ricardo muttered deep in thought.
“You must be referring to Camilla right?” Dacio said which got Ricardo starring at him with rage.
“It was a slip– Er, I will go check on Giorgio” Dacio said before dashing out of the room.
❉ ~ Giorgio Room ~❉
“Is no one in?” Dacio muttered as he knock on Giorgio’s door for the third time.
Hating the long wait, he chose to go in and what he saw got his eyes widening in shock.
There was Giorgio asleep and in his arms was Queenie and judging by the intimate way they slept, it must have been one hell of a night… Dacio thought as he slowly made his way out of the room.
On the other hand, as soon as Queenie heard the door close, she opened her eyes to continue starring at Giorgio.
All her life, she has only had eye for one man and that is Giorgio, it’s one of the reason why she chose to be his right hand man and also his lover.
Pushing back a strand of his hair, she couldn’t hold back the impulse and made to kiss him but Giorgio chose that moment to open his eyes pushing her away from him.
“What’s the time?” He asked as he sat up.
“Ten in the morning” Queenie replied while fiddling with the sheets.
“And why did you wake me?” He yelled suddenly.
“Because you seem tired and I didn’t want to–”
“When it comes to things about my life, I will decide myself. You have no right to interfere” he cut her off abruptly.
“Oh! Let me guess, Flora has the right to interfere in your life right?” Queenie snap her anger rising too.
“Don’t bring Flora into this”.
“I will. You keep doing crazy things all in the name of Flora when you don’t even love her”
“How are you so sure that am not in love with her?”
“If you were in love with her, you wouldn’t have slept with me last night” Queenie replied which got him looking away from her.
“That was a mistake, it never should have happen” Giorgio muttered hurting Queenie feelings.
“But it did and you should think well about it cause no matter what you do, you won’t be able to run away from it and that’s because you want me just as much as I want you. Keep that in mind when talking to Flora” She said this in anger and picking up her clothe, she went into the bathroom to get dressed.
❉ ~ Evening ~❉
After a long day spent in his office, Ricardo was heading to his room when he heard music coming from the party room.
They must already be partying now, Ricardo thought and for a while he wondered how Flora might be fairing.
“Why the hell am I thinking about her and besides Leon is there already ” he murmured before walking off.
On the other hand. Dacio, Bonnie and Leon stood at the bar counter gulping down their drink while having a merry time.
“But aren’t you suppose to keep watch on Flora?” Bonnie said to Leon who filled up his glass with more whiskey.
“This is a party and it’s only right that I enjoy it and besides, she can’t run away when everyone is here” Leon replied.
“Leon is right. Let’s party and stop thinking of work for a while, Cheers everyone” Dacio said which got the three men clinking their glass.
“Aren’t you going to have a drink?” Red ask as Ten declined a drink from a hovering maid, his gaze trained on Dacio.
“Do you still intend on getting your revenge?” Red asked and that brought his gaze on her.
“I do and just like I told you during the mission, I will need your help”.
“What do you want me to do?”
“To get back at Dacio for Lazaro’s death and the only way to do that is by using his weakness on him. The opposite s*x” Ten said to Red who got more confuse.
“I want you to seduce Dacio and make him fall in love with you” Ten added which got Red eyes widening in shock.
“Isn’t he so hot?” Marissa muttered while starring at Dacio who was oblivious to her stare.
“Who?” Flora who was sipping her orange juice asked as she followed Marissa’s gaze.
“Boss Dacio. Marissa believes herself to be in love with him and so she’s been trying hard to get him to notice her ” Mona explained.
“I don’t believe myself to be in love with him. I am in love with him, have slept with Giorgio and Ricardo in the past, no offence Flora but all that happened before you came into the scene” Marissa said quickly.
“Like I said, have slept with Giorgio and Ricardo but have yet to do that with Dacio. He seems to prefer other women and even when I made it obvious that I want him, he totally ignored me which perk my interest and it’s one of the reason why I fell for him, I want him and am going to have him” Marissa declared.
“That’s more like stalking and I doubt that Dacio will ever look your way. He’s more notorious than his brothers when it comes to girls and–”
“Instead of analysing my love life, why don’t you just think about yours. Don’t you ever wonder why Ten and Red are always together? He may be f**king her behind your back” Marissa said in annoyance.
Mona turned to see Red leaving the room while Ten went after her.
“For your info…Ten and I are no longer together and besides, they’ve been close friends even before I arrived in the scene. So don’t talk about what you don’t know” Mona yelled at Marissa who rolled her eyes in return.
“Girls, let’s not fight ” Flora said knowing that if she didn’t interfere soon, hell will break loose.
On the other hand, Claire and Athena stood a distance away watching the trio.
“Are the men ready?” Claire asked while Athena gave a nod in return.
“The only thing left to do is to give her the spike drink” Athena muttered as she stared at Flora with so much hate in her eyes.
“Leave that to me” Claire said as she picked up a whiskey filled glass and went towards Flora and her friends.
❉ ~ Ricardo Room ~❉
Ricardo was checking out his gun before preparing for bed when someone began knocking on the door.
He went to open the door only to see a distressed Marissa.
“There’s trouble Ricardo. Something bad has happen” Marissa said with tears in her eyes.

☙{ The Abduction }☙
❉ ~ An Hour Earlier ~❉
“Oh I can’t stand it! Am going to say hello to Dacio and perhaps, I might end up hooking up with him tonight” Marissa let out breathlessly before leaving Flora and Mona to go to Dacio who was having fun with Leon and Bonnie.
“She’s really determine to have him” Flora muttered while Mona shook her head in reply.
At that moment, Claire approach them with the spike drink in hand.
“Hello Gorgeous. I doubt if we met, am Claire. The lesbo of the group” Claire greeted with her hand stretch towards Flora.
Slowly Flora shook her hand in return and when she would have pulled away, Claire tightened her hold.
“Wow! You really have a lovely skin, it makes you look sexy in my eyes” Claire told her and it was Mona who pulled Flora hand out of Claire’s.
“Don’t set your eyes on her, Claire . She already belongs to the boss” Mona said sheepishly while Claire rolled her eyes.
“I already know that little miss prim and proper and I don’t intend to defile the boss. Which is why I want us to be friends” Claire said.
“Athena is your best friend and she dislikes Flora. Will that be okay with you?” Mona asked in return.
“Athena might be my friend but she doesn’t control my life and besides, you are not the one am talking to. What do you say Flora? Would you like to be friends with me” Claire asked and Flora stared at Mona who shook her head.
“Athena already hates me and I wouldn’t like to cause a rift between you two and so it will be best if I keep my distance” Flora said.
“Tch! It’s a shame though. Well I understand but for you rejecting me, I would like you to have this” Claire said as she handed her the spike whiskey glass.
“But I don’t drink”.
“Rejecting to be my friend is acceptable but rejecting to share a drink with me is unacceptable. It’s only a drink” Claire said as she pick up another glass from a hovering maid.
“Cheers ” she said clinking her glass with Flora’s.
Having no choice, Flora gulped down the content which made Claire satisfied.
“See you girls later” she said before waving them off.
“Stay away from girls like her. She might act like Athena means nothing to her but they are very close and I can swear that she’s willing to do anything for Athena just as Athena is willing to do for her” Mona said but Flora was far from listening since the whiskey she drank was making her feel giddy.
“I need to use the rest room” Flora said as she quickly left the party room.
On her way to the rest room, Flora felt so weak, she kept clinging to the wall while she felt her head spinning.
She found the rest room at last and was about to go in when she saw Giorgio.
A smile lit her face and she was about calling him when she saw that he was speaking to Dacio.
On the other hand Giorgio continued his conversation with Dacio.
“You big oaf. You were quite angry about Ricardo taking Flora from you but It didn’t take you long from moving on from her” Dacio tease lightly.
“What does that mean?” Giorgio asked.
“I saw you this morning. You know, all curled up in bed, naked with Queenie in your arms. You must have had a hell of a good time last night” Dacio said winking at him.
“Did Ricardo tell you to spy on me?” Giorgio asked which got him shaking his head.
“I had only went to your room to tell you about the party. You don’t have to worry, I won’t be saying a thing to anyone” Dacio replied just as Giorgio walk past him.
“Why does he treat me like am not his brother! “Dacio let out in irritation before going back to the party.
Flora who had heard what Dacio said felt the blood drain out of her.
Just like she had slept with Ricardo, Giorgio had done the same too…she thought as she staggered away from the rest room.
Back at the party, Mona who was feeling worried about Flora not returning from the rest room decided to go look for her.
“Where could she be?” Mona muttered as her search to the rest room prove futile.
She was heading back to the party hall when something hit her hard on the back and everything became dark.
“Now that she’s unconcious. We better get her out of here before someone sees us” A man said to his companion who lifted a unconcious Mona.
“But are you sure she’s the girl. From what lady Athena told us, she’s more slimmer than this” the second man said.
“Do you think am a fool? If I weren’t sure that she’s the girl we were told to take,do you think I would have gone close to her?” The first man replied angrily and not having a thing to say to that, the second man took Mona to their car not noticing a maid hiding by the pillar.
After an hour of trying to get Dacio to be alone with her, Marissa gave up and was about going to look for her friends when a maid approach her.
“She’s been taken. Two men kidnapped her” the maid said In agitation and Marissa told her to calm down so she can explain again which she did.
Immediately, Marissa went to inform Bonnie, Leon and Tony who were still at the party room and quickly they left to begin the search.
Marissa was about to join them when she thought about Ricardo and immediately she ran off to his room knocking non stop until he came out.
“There’s trouble Ricardo. Something bad has happen” Marissa said with tears in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” He asked and Marissa filled him in on Mona and Flora’s disappearance.
“Call the head of security and tell him to shut all the gates” Ricardo ordered Marissa who ran off to do as he said while he went back to take his car keys.
“It isn’t something hard to do” Ten said to Red who stood against a tree, deep in thought.
“Common. We’ve got to do this to get back at Dacio and give Lazaro the justice he deserves” Ten kept on persuading.
“So what! What if I seduce him like you say, what if he falls in love with me. What happen after that?” Red asked slowly.
“You give him the ultimate blow which is to confess everything to him and make him realise that you’ve never once love him and was only using him. A man might be able to get over a lot of things but he won’t be able to get over a betrayal especially from someone dear to him ” Ten replied coolly.
“Ten, I really don’t think I can do this and I doubt that Dacio would fall for me like you–”
“You can do this Red. You were like that with Lazaro, remember. You pursued him and ended up winning his heart even when he kept pushing you away” Ten countered.
“Lazaro is different. I loved him and I was willing to do anything just to have him by my side but Dacio is a man I detest”
“And you will keep on detesting him. Am not asking you to fall in love with him, on the contrary, I don’t want you falling for him. I want you to make him fall for you and break him to pieces at the right time. This is the befitting revenge I can think of so please help me” Ten urged again.
Just then a worried Marissa ran towards them.
“While everyone is worried about Flora and Mona’s disappearance. You both are out here playing a couple game!” Marissa yelled at them.
“Mona’s disappearance? What the hell do you mean?” Ten yelled worriedly and Marissa explained.
Immediately, Ten took to heels and when Red was about to follow Marissa stopped her.
“Just what are you up to with Ten? Don’t you know he is Mona boyfriend?” Marissa asked and instead of replying.
Red pulled her hand out of Marissa’s grip before running off to help while Marissa followed.
❉ ~ Back Gate ~❉
“What the f^^k! The gate’s been close” the first man let out in anger.
“Didn’t Athena say that the gate will be left open for us to leave?” The second guy asked.
“She did but it seems like they’ve found out. We will have to leave the car and jump over the wall ” The first man said as he got out of the car while the second one went to carry an unconcious Mona.
They were heading to the wall when a bullet was fired at the first man leg bringing him down on his knees.
Seeing this, the second man drop the unconscious Mona and made to leave only to meet with Tony’s powerful punch which got him falling on the floor too.
Bonnie quickly ran towards Mona and cradled her in his arms like a baby.
“What the hell did you do to her?” Leon growled at both men.
“She’s only unconcious. She will be up soon” the first guy said while holding his bloody leg.
“Where is the other girl?” Tony was the one who asked this.
“We don’t have any other girl with us” The first guy said and immediately Leon pointed his gun to his head.
“Where the hell are you keeping the second hostage?”
“I swear– we– we only have one girl with us” the second man stammered.
Ricardo arrive to the scene at that moment.
“Where’s Flora?” He asked looking very angry.
“They claim they don’t have her” Tony replied.
“We really don’t have her. We only took one girl as a hostage” The first man groan out in pain.
” Bonnie should take Mona to the infirmary while Leon and Tony handle this two. Make sure they are both alive since I will be the one to torture them myself” Ricardo said to his men before starring at the two abductor.
“Better pray that I find the other lady cause if I don’t, I will give you both a painful death that will make you remember me even in your afterlife!” Ricardo said looking like the devil himself.
He went back to his car and went straight to the security office where he check the ccctv footage.
“Have you find it boss?” The man in charge of the security office asked.
“I have, I know where she is” Ricardo replied as he left the security office for the gym.
❉ ~ Gym Room~❉
Flora lay on the floor starring at the ceiling while a crazy grin spread across her face.
The ceiling she was looking at suddenly turn into stars and she sat up trying to catch them.
That was how Ricardo found her when he got to the gym.
Flora who kept stretching her hands to catch the stars which were her imagination finally notice Ricardo’s presence.
“Oh! It’s the devil” she said grinning sheepishly before laying on the floor.
Ricardo walk towards her and crouch beside her.
“Go away devil. I don’t want to see you” she muttered looking very sleepy and drunk.
“Do you know that right now everyone is looking for you? You could have at least tried to let your friends know where you were going!” Ricardo yelled at her which got her sitting up.
“Don’t you ever get tired of yelling?” A drunk Flora let out slowly before touching her ear. “I am tired of listening to you yelling at me,I would prefer it if you smile–oh, the devil doesn’t smile” she said laughing.
“Just how many drink did you have?”
“Ten or no I think eleven or one– I only had one drink. The lesbo of the group gave it to me, she calls herself Claire and–” she stop to belch on his face.
“That feels good” she muttered.
“Good, It smells bad!” Ricardo yelled at her since she belch directly on his face.
“Then you should leave me alone. All I want to do right now is to sleep” She said and lay on the floor again.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ricardo lifted her off the floor.
“Where are you taking me?” A drowsy Flora ask and when Ricardo didn’t reply, she kept talking.
“Are you ready to take responsibility?” She asked suddenly.
“Responsibility for what?”
“For my pregnancy” she muttered and immediately Ricardo stop in his tracks.
“What pregnancy?” He yelled down at her.
“I might be a novice when it comes to sx but I do know that a man and woman take precaution when having sx but you don’t do that and that will lead to me getting pregnant. Will you take responsibility for getting me pregnant?” Flora asked starring at him and Ricardo stood still, watching her for a while.
“You really are crazy!” He muttered as he continued the journey back to his room.
When he got to his room, Flora was asleep already and so he tuck her into his bed and stood watching her sleeping face and unknowingly a smile curve his lips.
