CHAPTER FOUR | MINE!
LUCAS KNIGHT“Why the hell are you winking at my man?" Vivian growls.What the fuck!“What the hell do you think you're doing Vivian? She wasn't even looking this way." I deadpan.“Oh babe, you don't have to be humble. We both know that she was staring at you. She is obviously in love with you."I mentally facepalm. Luckily for me, the place we are in isn't crowded. If not, she would have been drawing a lot of attention to me...us.Taking my hands, Vivian drags me to the lady and her lover. She stops right in front of her and places her hands on her hips.“What do you think you are doing?" She demands.“Ummmm, what are...what do you mean?" The lady asks, looking genuinely lost.“Oh, so that is how it is going to be right?" She says, scoffing in disbelief and switching from her left foot to her right foot.“I don't know what you are talking about." The lady replies sincerely.“Why the hell were you ogling me man."“Who? Me?" The lady asks, turning her back to see if she is truly talking to her.“Stop playing dumb you stupid bitch. You were clearly staring at my husband." Vivian growls.Oh my goodness! She just called me her fucking husband.“Hold on, I am not her husband. I am not even her boyfriend or fiance. She is just an escort." I try to explain to the lady and her lover.They both ignore me, not believing what I said. “She was not looking at your man, she was too busy shoving her tongue down my throat." The guy says while smirking.The lady smacks him on the side of his head, her face turning beetroot. “Why would you say that." She exclaims.“You know it is true." He says smirking.“Hello, don't fucking ignore me," Vivian screams throwing her hands up in annoyance.“What do you want." The lady sighs.“I want to know why you are not satisfied with your man that you are trying to snatch mine away from me." She hisses.“I am not interested in your man girl, my fiance is enough for me. And I wasn't even looking at him." She explains.“So now you are calling me a fucking liar."“You know what, this conversation is ridiculous. I don't have to talk to someone like you. Some screws are obviously loose in your head."Thank goodness that I am not the only one that thinks she is insane.The lady and her fiance start moving away from Vivian.To my and their absolute shock, Vivian pulls the lady back and slaps her.“The next time you lay your filthy eyes on my man, I will make sure you regret it." She yells.The lady's fiance pushes Vivian away from her and starts assessing her face.“I am so...so fucking sorry, I don't...I didn't...I can't. Oh my god, tonight is such a fucking disaster." I exclaim, running my hands through my head.Fuck! I should never have brought Vivian. Who knew that behind that innocently pretty face was a psycho?I honestly expected the Lady to slap her back, or at least do sometime to defend herself. Instead, she looks at her from top to bottom, gives her the nastiest look I have ever seen in my life, and leaves.Vivian tries to stop her and cause more trouble, but one look from me keeps her in place.Once they are gone, I turn to look at Vivian, who is already staring at me with...adoration?“What the hell is your fucking problem," I ask aggressively.“What do you mean? Are you angry because I didn't let you fuck me here?" She bats her eyes lashes innocently.“First of all, I never wanted to fuck you. You are my maid and nothing but that. And, I am not and would never be in love with you, get that into your fucking skull." I hiss menacingly.She observes me with widely open eyes, and for a second, I thought she has finally understood what I have been trying to say to her.The words she speaks next confirm my suspicion that she isn't in her right mind.“Where is the camera?" She asks, looking around and searching for a camera.“What camera?" I question in confusion.“The camera that is filming your act, silly." She replies, playfully hitting me on my chest.“I almost bought you act." She laughs. “For a second, I thought you were truly angry at me."She is insane.Every single word that comes out of her mouth gives me a fucking headache.It seems like she doesn't understand English, but speaks it.“I need a drink," I announce, moving away from her to the main room. I take two glasses of wine and chuck them down.“Can I get anything strong?" I ask the waiter carrying the tray of drinks.“Just get me a bottle of vodka." I request, not giving a fuck about my reputation if I get caught drinking in public.“Sir we have wine and..."I cut the waiter off. “I said you should bring me a bottle of vodka. You are a waiter, right? Then do your fucking job." I almost yell.The waiter bows down and leaves.“And be quick about it," I yell after him.He comes back a few minutes later and hands me the bottle.I open it and start drinking straight from the bottle.I don't stop drinking until a hand stops me. “You shouldn't drink so much babe." Vivian scolds.Damn it! I was already starting to forget about her existence.“Don't...tell...me...me...what to fucking doooo." I slur out.I don't even know when I got this drunk.“Awnnnn, is my baby drunk?" Vivian coos. “Why don't we go back home and I'll treat you very nicely." She winks suggestively.Sober me would have been repulsed by her suggestion but drunk me loves the idea, and soon, I am kissing her like my life depends on it.CHAPTER FORTY | CARLOS AND BIANCA VIVIAN ADDAMS I smile and peck him on the cheek as a sign of gratitude. I am really grateful for how understanding he is. Just then, I hear a gunshot and AJ falls to the ground with a thud. A terrible scream comes out of me before I know it. A hand circles around my waist and pulls me to their body. A handkerchief is forced on my nose and mouth as I struggle against the hold of my captor. I try not to breathe it but I have no choice and soon, I'm out. I wake up some hours later at an unfamiliar warehouse. “Where the fuck am I?" “Where are meant to be." A voice answers from the back.I look around again, trying to fully take in my surroundings to find any possible escape route. Dust hangs heavily in the air, and the sounds of nothingness reverberate off the crumbling walls. In quiet nooks, abandoned machinery rusts, and broken windows show a world that has moved on. Here, time seems to have stopped, preserved in the ruins of an abandoned missio
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE | CONFESSIONVIVIAN ADDAMSEverything is settled now, we all got the payback we wanted. I smile as I slowly dance around my house in joy. Not only did the company Phoenix stole from my parents get returned, I also got more money even though I don't need it. Lucas lost everything and I feel really bad for him but it has to happen cause they had nothing to begin with. Ada moved back to Nigeria immediately she was done with her mission with Phoenix Knight's son who she adopted. I only allowed her leave after she promised to treat the little guy like her own child. Sofia and AJ were both promoted after the truth was released. As for me, I'm opening up a restaurant. I think it's the best thing for me to do. Lucas has been avoiding me and honestly, I don't blame him. I did deceive him after all. Through AJ, I tried to give him money to start his own business but he completely refused my help. He wants to start a new business from scratch and he doesn't want anyone's
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT | THE GOD OF DEATHVIVIAN ADDAMS“I am taking you directly to MR Knight, and you can do anything you want to do with him." I inform her. “How the hell do you know where Phoenix Knight would be?" “Phoenix Knight is an open book. The many years of me observing him has made realize his major weakness. He is a bloody coward. He can kill a person, kidnap a person, involve himself in major illegal activities but once it comes to facing the consequences of his actions, he backes out. Another thing about Mr. Phoenix Knight is that he hates going down alone. He is always going to try and take someone with him. I know the first person that would come to his mind is Lucas Knight. From the information my men gave me, Lucas is in his mother's grave, so that is where we are going right now!" I explain in a rush.I silently gaze at her through the rearview mirror. “My gut tells me that you are scared Luke isn't the only person he's after. You thinks he will come after one of u
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN | INSANITY VIVIAN ADDAMSShe turns to me and smiles exactly the way the Joker smiled. “Why the hell do you care, Viv? Don't you want her dead? Isn't she a threat to your marriage? You should be glad I helped you do the job your coward ass couldn't do. Why don't you stop being an ungrateful little brat and thank me for helping you secure your marriage." "What the hell are you talking about?" I growl. "Oh don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about Vivian, I know you felt like Vera Knight was a threat to your marriage."It has been confirmed, Ada has officially lost her damn mind and I don't think it is fixable. She needs urgent help. She should be locked up in a mental hospital. "Vera Knight is Lucas' step mom, only a deranged freak would even think of sleeping with his step mom. Last I checked, Lucas is not one of them. The thought of having anything to do with Vera Knight alone is disgusting to him. So you did not save my marriage like you think,
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX | UNANSWERED QUESTIONSVIVIAN ADDAMS “Where is Vera Knight now? Was he able to take her to a safe place?" “I think that question should be left unanswered." What the fuck does she mean? Why can't she just answer the question? If Lucas was sent to kill Vera Knight and didn't, she should be safe now. Is she trying to hide where Vera is from us? “Where is Vera Knight Ada?" AJ asks her. “The next person that asks me about Vera Knight's whereabouts would be joining her. She is fucking missing, Lucas didn't find her when he went to her place." She explains.She is fucking lying and it is obvious...at least to me.Everything about what she said is suspicious. First, she threatened to send anyone who asked about her again to that place she is, then she says she is missing. Which means that she most likely knows where Vera is, she is just playing dumb. I won't be surprised if she is the one that kidnapped her. I believe she wouldn't have threatened us with that if she d
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE | EVIL EXPOSED VIVIAN ADDAMS So, show me what you got. We have to work fast before Mr Knight discovers that you guys are actually not dead. I managed to make him believe that you guys are dead." Ada informs.“How the fuck did you manage to do that?" Ada smiles and says, “There would be no need for any of you to know the details. Just trust me, I won't let you down. So...what is the plan?" “Well, we were able to gather some evidence. We got photos, video, documents that have some of the things we want." “How the fuck were you able to get them?" Ada asks in surprise. “Phoenix Knight's right hand man unfortunately lost his son. His son was a victim of cancer and Mr Knight promised to pay all the bills. He stopped paying his right hand claiming that he was using the money to sponsor his son's treatment. Unfortunately for the poor boy but fortunately for us, Mr Knight never paid the bills. He only paid a nurse to watch over the boy after lying that the boy was in
