Chapter 7

I gripped the steering wheel tightly with my eyes fixed on the road. Travis Scott’s cars were just about a few cars away from mine. My heart pounded in my chest as I trailed behind. I had to maintain a safe distance, or else I would be easily noticed by Travis Scott's guards. I couldn't afford to blow up this opportunity.

After about a thirty-minute drive, the cars drove off the highway. I became more cautious, maintaining my distance. 

We drove down a tarred road, and soon the cars came to a halt in front of a gigantic gate. It seemed to be an entrance into an estate. I pulled over and watched from a distance.

The gates opened up and the cars drove in. As soon as the last car drove in, the gates were shut 

I popped out my car keys and kept them safely in the backpack slung on my back.

Slowly and cautiously, I made my way towards the gates. It was quiet and serene; there was no one at the gates. 

When I got to the gates, I tried to peep in, but I couldn't see a thing. I banged hard, but the sturdy gates did not produce any sound. Frustrated, I marched around it not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, an alarm blared off. It took me by surprise and I jumped. 

There was a clicking sound and after that, the gates opened up. The grunt-looking guards walked out, their eyes spitting fire.

“Who are you, and what did you want?” One asked.

“I am Selina Morrison.”

The second one scoffed and raised his brows, “What do you want?” He asked.

“I seek an audience with your boss, Travis Scott.”

The guards looked at each other and seized me up from head to toe. They scoffed but one finally asked. “Do you have an appointment? Where is your pass?”

“No, I don't have an appointment and I don't have a pass, but I need to see him… it's urgent. He just left Morrison…”

“Go back,” one cut in, and the two of them turned back in.

“I'm not leaving until I meet him,” I yelled but none of them responded, they were already walking in through the gates.

No way! I can't miss this chance! I have to get in.

With a few long strides, I closed the distance between us and pulled the one closest to me.

“What's your deal?” Before he could cough out more words, I flipped him over my shoulders.

As he crashed on the ground, the eyes of the second one widened. He rushed at me, but I pushed the one on the ground his way and he tripped on him. Both of them collided and groaned as they crashed hard on the floor. But they were back to their feet in a flash of a second.

Impressive! I spat, jerking my head sideways. I began to move backwards baiting them to come at me one after the other

The first one came and I landed a quick kick to his stomach, sending him crashing into the nearby trash cans. The second one swung a wild punch, but I dodged it and sent a precise jab to his jaw.

As he swooped around in pain, the second  one regained his balance and charged at me again.

I balled my hands ready to tackle him. But before he got to me, a loud command came from inside.

“Stop!”

My attackers stopped immediately. They retracted from me, giving me a distasteful glare.

“Will they allow me in now?”

Thousands of possibilities ran through my head and I fiddled with the backpack slug behind me.

A guard walked out of the gates and had a word with the two guards. When they were done, the guards glared at me with disdain.

“Come on in, you are invited in,” one of them gritted, cleaning the sweet on his forehead.

Yikes! I screamed, jumping on my feet.
