SIXTEEN
Constance couldn’t sleep a wink.
She kept turning from one end of the pillow to the other and clutching the covers to her chin, sometimes moaning while she did. The dream she had was vivid and held her in a suffocating chokehold. They were back at the upper room in the abandoned warehouse, this time they saw the kidnapper pressing a gun to her frightened son’s head. Neither Thad nor she could do anything to stop what was coming as the kidnapper having somewhat prior knowledge that they had come up short regarding the money short and now suggested to her to choose who gets the bullet first—her son or Thad.
Before she could make a choice, his gun went off. There was the sound of her screaming before everything went suddenly dark.
Constance shot up instantaneously from the bed, screaming.
She caught herself and ceased her crying when she realised she was awake. Her hand fumbled shakily for the bed

Thaddeus was at the precipice of falling into deep sleep when he felt someone kissing his lips. He mistook it at first that he caught up in a dream like the previous memorable one he had last time and paid it no mind, except the kissing feat persisted. His eyes came groggily awake in the dark and there was Constance leaning over him, smothering him with kisses. Thad’s senses came alive and he quickly responded to her passion, least it ended so fast. He flung the covers off to better manoeuvre her to get on top of him. Their lips smacked against each other with fervour. Thaddeus rummaged his hands all over Constance, feeling over her torso, down to her thighs and hips and then went to grabbing her butt as if visually painting a portrait of her body in the dark. Constance rubbed her butt against his crotch, dry-humping him while caressing his face with both hands while keeping on with their passionate kissing.
THADDEUS BLACK: The Devil Wears High Heels EIGHTEEN
Sunlight streamed through his curtains. There was the music of birds chirping in the tree outside his window, interspersed with cars driving to and fro on the street. There was a slight stir behind his eyelids and slowly he swam from the depths of slumber and opened his eyes to the light of the new day. Everything was all bleary at first and he groaned lazily from having slept so late; he was almost reluctant to want to get up from bed. He turned to his left and there laid the sleeping form that was Constance Loftus curled on her side. Last night hadn’t been a dream after all, he thought.Thaddeus pulled aside the covers and slipped out of the bed as quiet as he could without disturbing her. Constance stirred in her sleep but that was it. He found himself a shirt and a pair of shorts to wear before slipping out of the room.There was no one in the living room. Nothing to show that Myra had been there e
THADDEUS BLACK: The Devil Wears High Heels NINETEEN
He was back to being with his lonely self again.Thaddeus slumped down on the couch with all the buoyant air he’d carried earlier now dissipated from him. His head lolled between his shoulders and his arms felt lifeless resting across his thighs. He felt like a boxer who’s suffered his worst night getting KO’ed in the first round. He recalled the way she had looked at him before she left; the coldness in her voice when she talked about mailing him his check later. That one hurt more than anything, which was an absolute surprise to Thad. He had been through a number of breakups, some barely lasting a week let alone a day. He usually preferred one-night stands to anything daring to enclose him in what might transpire into a relationship. Except this one felt deep and personal. If only he could find the bastard that leaked the news of her son’s kidnapping to the press, he’d sure love to s

Thaddeus Black didn't drive straight to the office but instead went to the city’s grand central train station. He did, however, call Sarah who was already in the office to let her know where he was heading. At the station, he rented out a locker box and deposited the money bag inside it. His intention was to return the money later once the media storm blew over; right now it was a lot safer here than at his place. He glanced at a wide-screen TV as he strolled towards the revolving doors of the terminal and saw people staring raptly at the retelling of Constance’s missing son. Thaddeus lowered his hat over his face as he hurried out of the building. He returned to his car and screeched out of the parking lot.Thaddeus arrived at his office a half hour later. The summer heat was atrocious and seemed to choke the air out his lungs. A burgundy-coloured Ferrari was parked in front of his office building, the

Thaddeus drove back home hours later after an excursion into the city. He had drawn out a payment plan for Sarah and told her to lock up whenever she felt done for the day. The office wasn’t rhyming with his vibe and he had needed space to think work through tackling the new insight he had gained into the case that just might be the lead to cracking it once and for all. That aside, he needed some pussy to recharge himself and he knew just the right person to give him that. He called Erica’s mobile to enquire if she was still at home or not. She answered the call and replied that she was indeed home and bored out of her head. Thad felt an awakening in his pants as he ended the call and drove home.Erica sat by her living window perusing a novel though she had lost all interest in it since receiving Thad’s phone call. She heard the sound of his engine and glanced out the window at the sight of him p

Thaddeus drew back on his jacket’s sleeve to check the time on his watch. Eight fifty-five pm, it said. The address to the club put it at the city limit; it was going to be a long ride. According to Erica, the festivities won’t begin till near midnight, giving him plenty of time to arrive and get comfortable.Thaddeus had one pair of black suit which he’d worn for the occasion and a tie to go with it. It wasn’t until his fourth attempt at securing himself a cab that he got one willing to take him to his destination but at an exorbitant price. He would have much preferred going with his car, except anonymity was the word as he settled in the cab’s backseat. This club thing felt like a wild goose chase. He was simply following a scent he should have smelt earlier but was too preoccupied to think it through. Something murky existed between Constance and her sister. Whether or
THADDEUS BLACK: The Devil Wears High Heels TWENTY THREE
The car rolled smoothly on the driveway which snaked a circular route towards an austere building that turned out to be another security outpost. There they went through a second security check where Thad presented his invitation to two men in long coats and uttered the password again before they cleared the vehicle to continue. Thaddeus made out the majestic castle that occupied the distant end of the driveway. The building had impressive grandeur and opulence. Greek columns lined the front, looking like the Acropolis; bright lights lit the compound with a dazzling display. The forecourt was littered with limousines, Aston Martins, Bentleys and other exotic wheels. The vehicle Thaddeus was in pulled around a fountain circle in the forecourt and someone came and opened the door for him. The man said good evening and demanded his invitation card of which Thaddeus then parted with it. The man handed him a face mask to wear

It was a simple room with a large bed with two chairs and a table by a corner. A large mirror made up the entire wall of the right side of the room that reflected everything inside including Thaddeus Black who stared at his reflection in mute disbelief as if unwilling to comprehend what he was doing in there. Thaddeus loosened his tie while admiring his reflection. It was a see-through mirror like the ones similar in police interrogating rooms; he was bound to have an audience at the other side waiting to see him in action. He slipped off his jacket and draped it on one of the chairs as well took off his shoes then sat on the bed waiting for his upcoming visitor to arrive.Thad didn't have to wait too long. There came a sound of the door’s lock turning and then it opened to reveal two women who peeked inside before entering the room. He recognised one of them as the beret woman who had accosted him earlier; she was witho
