06: Welcome to California

“ What do you mean by I'm not approved for the modeling again, I booked a flight from Los Angeles to come to California and the next thing you are telling me is that Another model has collected the job”

“ I don't care who that model is but the moment I entered the plane, I've started the modeling and I will collect my pay” She mouthed aggressively putting an end to the call.

“ What do they take me for? A dummy!?” She hissed, She noticed many eyes on her.

“ It's like you want your eyes to serve as a dessert for your burial ceremony right? I'm asking everyone looking at me” She roared, transferring her aggression to everyone.

“I thought there is always a mental test for everyone that boards a plane, especially for VIP section borders, Why is this time different because it's obvious you are mentally deranged” A young lady from the back fired back at Joan, Joan surprised that someone can talk back to her.

“ Who the hell do you think you are? You this poor disgusting waste bin that had the luck to be in a VIP section in this plane, You think you now have the balls to talk to me, Huh” Joan fired back.

“Being poor is better than being a mentally deranged prostitute who finds joy in screaming and passing aggression” The lady launched the attack again, This time hitting Joan hard.

Joan fumes in anger that if not for people there, she would have slapped the lady hard on the face.

“ You don't know who you are dealing with because if you do, You would not dare open your gutter mouth and talk back at me” Joan released a mischievous grin from the side of her mouth. All her mind was that the lady would feel scared and apologize but her expectations were cut short.

The lady glared at Joan like she is just making empty threats “ I know who you are, A dumb model who fucks around for endorsement deals, Every sensible person knows you to be a witch but your camouflage is working well for you” The lady hissed hatefully. She turned her head to the right side to bring out a novel from her bag, The novel titled ‘ Hello Kitten, Run by Anonymous Author’ She is a lover of dark romance.

Joan looked at the lady with anger, and hatred that she couldn't teach the girl a lesson. She tried to calm herself down till the plane landed but her mind betrayed her.

Joan stood up from her seat and walked towards the lady with her heels hitting the ground one after the other. The lady noticed the footsteps approaching her before she could raise her head.

Joan yanked the novel off her hand, tearing the front cover in the process. Everyone's attention was now on them but they decided to mind their business.

“ So your name is Lucy, The wife of Lucifer” Joan mocked reading out the name customized on the bracelet on the lady's left hand. Before Lucy could reply, Joan landed an eye-blinding slap on Lucy's left causing almost everyone to cover their mouth in shock.

Before Lucy could recover from the slap, Joan landed another slap on her right cheek, Lucy held her cheeks in shock and pain.

Joan smirked, “ You shouldn't have talked back at...... She couldn't finish her statement before Lucy threw her fist at her jaw, Lucy didn't let her recover before she hit her neck with the side of her right palm causing her to cough out in pain.

Joan staggered back in pain almost falling when Lucy kicked her in the stomach making her fall on the ground with her butt. Joan coughed out saliva in pain, She crawled backward as Lucy approached her.

Lucy bent down and picked up her novel which the front page had torn, she looked at the book and back at the lady on the ground with anger. She went closer to Joan and pulled her by her blonde hair. Joan tried wiggling herself out of Lucy's grip but Lucy was stronger than her, making her give up.

“ I would have forgiven you if you only slapped me by tearing my book. You disrespected Kian Slater and Elsa Reed's love story and I will show you hell on earth today” Lucy screamed, hitting Joan with the novel still holding her hair to prevent her from running away. She continued hitting her till she lost consciousness and fell flat on the floor.

Lucy hit her face, eyes, cheeks, and jaws with the novel, making the novel tear into different pieces and leaving red bruises and swelling on her face.

The people with them in the VIP section allowed Lucy to deal with her very well before they called on the flight attendants to come to separate them.

“ let's see how you will go for the modeling shoot, You bitc... Lucy didn't complete her statement when the flight turned to the left making her fall in the direction. She was still on the ground when three flight attendants entered due to her position; they couldn't know who was okay.

Lucy noticed the flight attendants' confusion, she played along and coughed making one of the flight attendants rush to her. Joan was unconscious on the floor for like five minutes before waking up.

As she woke up, Lucy was seated so as everyone, She stood up slowly in embarrassment.

“ Ladies and gentlemen, good morning/afternoon. Welcome on board, This is Ooks flight 22309. This is Co-pilot Becky speaking and I have some information about our flight. We are about to land at the California airport, everyone should buckle up their belt and rest on the chair” The co-pilot voice radiates to every section of the plane.

On hearing that, Joan hurriedly walked back to her seat and strapped the seat belt on her waist. She removed a pocket mirror from her purse and raised it to look at her face. She almost screamed out at the huge red spots, bruises, and swelling on her face and forehead.

She folded her fist in anger as she thought about how she will go for the modeling shoot, “ I will have to cancel it because of that bitch” She mouthed and touched her face a little, the moment her hand touched the swell on her forehead, she shrieked a little.

“ I will have to cancel the modeling shoot, and give it to that stupid model, I'm no longer interested” She fumes as she sends the message to the man who called her earlier.

In less than ten minutes, the plane landed peacefully.

Lucy unstrapped her seat belt and walked over to Joan, She bent her mouth to Joan's ear and said “ Welcome to California” She smirked and walked back to carry her luggage.
