"My dear, it's such an honor to have you here," a potbellied man said. He pulled out a chair for the damsel beauty to sit.

"You don't know how long I have been waiting for this moment!" the potbellied man exclaimed. He rubbed his palms together and licked his lips before taking his seat.

"Nice taste," Devika complimented.

Her gaze swept round the room. They were in a suite. A grin appeared on her face.

The suite screamed of wealth. From the walls decorated with beautiful wallpaper, to the wooden floor. The ceiling had ancient carvings and a big chandelier hung above their heads. A big glass wall giving blissful view of the city.

The table for two they sat at was decorated with fine dinner materials. Devika traced her palms on the fabric, its soft texture pressed under her skin.

The table was filled with different fancy dishes, with a bottle of fine red wine and lit candles for decoration.

Red roses spread on the floor, along with water and lit candles giving the atmosphere a kind of romantic vibe.

Devika's gaze landed on the man's face. She almost frowned, seeing how he was smiling like a fool.

She tilted her head to the side, and rested her elbow on the table. Her fingernails tracing round the glass cup half filled with wine.

"So... Jake, right?" Devika questioned. The man nodded like a fool. So disgusting! Nonetheless, she brushed it off and continued.

"So Jake, what do you do for a living?" she questioned, making eye contact with him.

"I am a real estate dealer. I am very rich, you can say that," Jake said. Devika was tempted to roll her eyes but she kept her cool.

"Okay. Are you married or have any children? I don't mean to invade your private life, I just want to know who I'm with," she said with a pout.

"It's okay. I am single and I have only one kid," Jake answered and she almost slapped him.

Men! All liars, another reason why she would steal from him without pity. From the information she gathered, Jake Norman is a real estate dealer, married with six kids.

"Oh really? We are a match then," she giggled and he nodded.

"Let's toast," Jake said. She raised her glass as he did the same.

Their glasses clicked, before they brought them to their lips. Devika watched with a devious smirk as Jake drank his wine. Of course she had already sedated his drink.

"Drink up," Jake said. He dropped his empty glass on the table, she hummed before placing hers on her lips. She poured the whole wine into her mouth but didn't drink it.

She isn't a fool. She knew what men like Jake can do. They take girls for trash, drug them and rape them. And when they try voicing out they bribe them with the videos they make.

"You are so beautiful," Jake said, feeling a little dizzy. His head was spinning and he was starting to see double.

Devika poured the wine back into the glass and stood on her feet. She rushed to him. "Jake! Jake! Jake! Are you okay?" she questioned.

"What did you put in my drink?" he questioned. An evil smirk appeared on her lips. "Something to keep you out for the meantime," she said.

He raised his hand to press the alarm button, but she held it.

"No no. If I were you I wouldn't dare. I have all the information I need to pull you down. The many girls you've raped, what you do behind cameras. Everything. So if I were you, I would fall asleep and wake up like you never saw me," she threatened and his eyes closed. She balanced him well on his chair, before pressing on her earpiece.

"I'm in. Where to?" Devika questioned.

"The safe is in the first room. Under the bed. The security passcode is 4546," a voice came from her earpiece.

"I will send over the drones," the voice added.

Without wasting another second, Devika found her way to the room, like Chloe said. The safe was really under the bed. She brought it out and put in the passcode. It shone green before opening.

She stared at the bundles of cash in it. A smile appeared on her lips. She brought out a black paper bag from under her gown, then filled it with the cash. The safe wasn't that big, it only contained two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. So it was easy for her to fix into the bags she brought.

One by one, she dragged each bag out of the room to where Jake was sleeping. She walked to the window and opened it. The drones were waiting already, big drones to help carry the bags.

She took each drone and tied a bag on each one, till all the money bags were tied to the drones before she let go.

"What's next?" she asked Chloe over her earpiece.

"I will send the drones back," Chloe replied. Immediately the drones started flying away. But one refused to, the other drones sparked like they were about to fall.

"Why is that happening?" Devika questioned, her eyebrows twisting into a frown.

"You don't have to worry about them, they will make it. And the other one, leave it. It will work in two minutes," Chloe said. Devika didn't reply to her. She made to walk past the door when Chloe's voice sounded from the earpiece.

"You can't leave through the door, the guards outside will catch you. And you can't take them all out, they are over twenty," Chloe said, cutting Devika before she could mutter a word.

But Devika wasn't one to be shunned. "Don't underestimate me."

"Go to the kitchen, open the fridge. There is a lock with the same passcode as the safe. When it opens follow the path down, it will lead you to a VIP exit. Take it and take the elevator, which will lead you to a damp alley. Then you are free," Chloe instructed.

Without replying, Devika rushed to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and the passcode was input. She entered it, like what Chloe said there was really an exit.

She could see other secret doors, hidden in the walls. As she walked down the hallway to the elevator, she saw a man walking towards her. What caught her attention wasn't even his handsomeness, but the wristwatch on his hand.

She knew that watch. It is the only one in the world, she has been meaning to find it but the owner really kept it hidden. And now she just found the owner.

As she reached the man, she intentionally bumped her shoulders into his, and pulled the watch out of his wrist without him noticing.

"Hey!" came the man's cold voice. She didn't spare him a glance. She gave him her middle finger when she entered the elevator. With the watch on her hand, but this handsome dumbshit didn't seem to notice.

The elevator closed after her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

A few moments later the elevator opened in an alley, like Chloe said. She walked along the alley, and came to a street where her car was parked. A Lamborghini sports car. She got in and started the car. The engine roared to life and she drove away.

Her phone beeped from the passenger seat. She checked to see that it was a text from Aoife. It was a photo of a man, and her next mission.

Immediately she saw the photo, her eyebrows frowned.

The guy she stole the watch from. What a game.

A smirk appeared on her lips, she increased her speed driving like a thief. Sirens wailed loudly as police cars chase after her.

    Aoife's glare met with the member who just said that. He glanced down immediately, avoiding Aoife's gaze.A small grin appeared on Devika’s lips, watching the scenario. She should be mad and discipline the member who had just disrespected Aoife, but even she, herself, is against Riccardo being in the gang.Devika’s gaze didn’t leave the blueprint, pretending she didn’t hear what the member said, while the rest of the members stared at her with curiosity, waiting for her reaction, but she didn’t react.Devika’s gaze stayed on the blueprint like nothing happened. Riccardo glanced at her, then sighed.He turned his glance to the gang member.“I am not inexperienced; I have skills, but I don’t expect you guys to believe me. Suddenly, the first son of a billionaire joining a thief gang? I know that’s a lot to take in, but I will be sure to prove my worth to you all on this mission,” Riccardo said. Devika rolled her eyes, like he just said a whole bunch of nonsense.Aoife faced the gang mem

    Inside a large hall, over fifteen gang members were present. They all stood around a round table, as they glanced at the blueprint in front of them.They were all dressed in black body suits and boots.Nadia and Diana stood beside each other, though they aren’t even speaking to each other. Diana kept ignoring Nadia in every possible way she could. Nadia kept stealing glances from her from time to time, she folded her palm into a fist as she glanced at Diana only to find her staring at her.Their gaze locked for a second, but then Diana looked away, leaving Nadia to herself.Uriel, always the serpent, watched them closely, smirking from time to time.JJ, too, was present. He was standing with another member, Daniel. Since Chloe was still on suspension for disobeying Aoife, he is stuck with Daniel who hasn’t kept his mouth shut since.“Do you know how the Mayor's house looks like?

    Idris’s grip stayed strong on Devika’s neck, his eyes were red with rage, blinded by rage. She was already hanging in the air.His grip tightened with each passing second. Devika’s nostrils fluttered, with snot rolling down her lips. Her eyes were red, and her veins were visible, but she didn’t try to fight him. Instead, a sinister smile appeared on her lips as she watched him keep strangling her.She had successfully unleashed the beast in him. This is the Idris she wants, the Idris she needs.Idris watched Devika with bloodshot eyes; all he wanted was to see her lifeless body on the floor of his office.“If this is what you want, I won’t stop you. As far as it brings out the Idr…”“Stop it!” He hissed, ordering her. He shut his eyelids, then shook his head, as if trying to get back to his senses.Devika was slowly slipping away, her eyes rolled to the back of their sockets. She would be pronounced dead if Idris’s grip tightened again.Lucky for her, Idris gritted his teeth, watching

    Idris walked out of the conference room with Devika and Matthew, and the board leaders walking behind them.The company sales had just skyrocketed to over 104 percent. It was a huge milestone for PAJ-Twentyfive, since their highest sales percent was 98 percent.The high demand for their goods is incredible. Idris had this unwavering smile on his face, feeling proud of his achievement.Devika glanced at him each second, but she didn’t utter a word.“For the next two days, the cafeteria is free!” Idris announced, and the board leads gasped, along with the employees passing by.“Thank you so much, sir!” They bowed to him as he walked by.“Boss is in a good mood today?”“I think it’s the sales.”“Well, I like him this way. I have never seen him smile before.”Murmurs spread along the office as they gossiped about Idris’s unusual happy demeanor.“All of you, return to your workspace,” Idris ordered, and they scattered into motion.“Boss, I will take my leave now. I have some uncleared work

    Chloe’s car was parked at the start of Riccardo's street. She had her binoculars, monitoring his villa from afar for any movement.She had been here since this afternoon, per Aoife's instructions.She hurriedly placed her binoculars in position, thinking she spotted a movement, but it was just the maid cleaning the house.She scoffed as she watched the maid closely. She has been cleaning since before she even got here.“So hygienic, huh?” She scoffed, then placed the binoculars back on her eyes, glancing at other parts of the villa.“Let's see what this motherfucker is hiding,” she murmured to herself, then jolted up and back from her seat, but the sudden knock on her car window.“Holly! Fuck!” She spat, then turned to see who it was. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Jojo. The glass was tinted, but she knew he knew she already looked at him.“This motherfucker…”He signaled with his index finger for her to wind down, and she did.“What the fuck are you doing here?!” She ques

    Devika shot a glare at Riccardo, then she walked out of the office, slamming the door behind her.A grin appeared on Riccardo’s face. He turned to Aoife only to see her standing on her feet. She wasn’t smiling, nor was she frowning.He took long strides towards her, his boots hitting the marbled floor, its sound speaking more than wealth. He turned around the table, standing in front of Aoife.The grin on his face grew wider. Aoife stared at him with nothing but hatred. Her eyes seemed to bore holes in his skin, but it was all her imagination.“I did what you asked. Now, return the evidence you have,” Aoife demanded, palms stretched out, filling the little space between them.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Aoife…” Riccardo said. He took a step forward, his cologne filled her nostrils as he invaded her personal space.“I must have misjudged you. I thought you were all tough and smart. You seriously believed what I said,” Riccardo mocked, watching Aoife’s expression closely.A look of realization flas
