Marquez had driven the family back to the mansion, Christopher was also present. He managed to use his charm and words to trick Theo into letting him back on the compound, but he was still afraid of Meira’s mother–that woman was a Tiger in human form. Christopher stopped the car near the fountain on the front yard, he watched from a distance as Marquez went to park then let the maid and the married couple out.
Syahla exited with her hair messy, clothes looking disheveled and one shoe in her hand. The police in Arkville were an accurate definition of useless, most were being paid hefty sums by gangsters to not interfere with their crimes. Those who weren’t being bribed couldn’t look deep into any disappearance or homicide case or they might end up on the news. Her hatred for this corrupted town just grew day by day–if it was up to her she’d take her daughter and leave on the next flight to Los Angeles. Mrs. Hamilton was about walking inside to hire a private investigator when two security guards at the gate alerted her and her husband.
Someone was there wanting to talk to them regarding Meira Kameron. Syahla practically sprinted to the gate to type in the code and let the pretty young-looking female inside.
“Where is my daughter?” she asked urgently.
Katniss twirled her hair around her fingers. “Good morning Mrs. Hamilton, I came down here to ask you the same thing. Meira and I went down town to buy an anklet, she bought a cake afterward and went to give to that creep known as Carnage. She was being s*x**lly h*r*ssed by the men at the bar so Carnage and his friends beat ’em up, then the cops arrived and everyone had to scatter because a shootout happened. Fifty grand was promised to me if I distracted the police so a few gangsters protecting Meira could escape with her. The plan worked, they got away, and I haven’t seen her since. I also don’t have her number she never gave it to me. Mei bae is like…my best friend now and I’m worried about her. This feels so tragic.”
Syahla fell to her knees.
Katniss who was in the middle of blowing a bubble with her blueberry flavored gum stopped and helped her up, she carried her to the stairs where her husband, maid and driver could help her out. Kat sighed frustratedly, if something happened to Meira she’d never forgive herself. It was a bad idea to go downtown, especially at Lovell Str. which is known to be crawling with gangsters.
“Mrs. Hamilton, please have some water,” Belinda held a glass of cold water out for Syahla to take, she did but it almost fell so she helped her drink it. “Everything is gonna be okay, Meira will be back home soon. I just know she will.”
“Um, excuse meh?” Kat stopped smoothing her hair down with both hands to look Belinda up and down as she chewed her bubblegum. “Who are you?”
Belinda stood up and eyed the girl. She must be mixed race, her skin was a creamy chocolate shade and her eyes vivid honey brown. She had almond-shaped eyes and a black mole on her left eyelid. This girl looked feisty; like if you messed with her she’d roast you badly then b**t your *ss.
She, who is pregnant, did want to start an argument with this girl who clearly had a problem with her. “I’m Belinda, you can call me Bella. I’m a relative of Meira, but not by blood.”
“Okay, then why are you in a maid costume?” Kat folded her arms, her big golden hoop earrings swinging when she moves. “Go take it off. Why are your eyes so puffy and red were you crying? Girl, bad Bîtches don’t cry. That’s like so tragiccc.”
“Don’t mind her dear she’s a clumsy maid,” Syahla finished the water and shoved the glass in Bella’s hand. “Now get away from me let me worry about my daughter without being interrupted.”
“Yes ma’am!” Belinda bowed and turned to leave.
“So, so tragic,” Kat rolled her eyes.
Theodore was on a phone call with the head of the police department in Arkville while Christopher kept a good distance from the unpredictable Syahla. Just then, cars honked at the gate. Three flashy vehicles that shone brilliantly under the sun’s scorching rays pulled up; a black one, a red one, and a white one. The guards spoke to the drivers for a while before opening the gate to let them in, they entered and parked side by side.
“Is this an audition for Fast and the Furious 9?” Katniss looked them up and down rudely. “Who are those and what are they doing here?”
The doors of the white vehicle on the left opened and Meira stepped out looking fresh. Her mother let out an ear-piercing scream, busted into tears and ran to her daughter, Meira started crying too and met her half way. They hugged each other and fell on the ground, crying bitterly.
While the mother and daughter sobbed amidst their reunion, the Bloodlust B*st*rds alighted from their vehicles and stood side by side as a group. Their faces were expressionless, but their body language said they were bored and really wanted to leave.
“My child! My baby! My lifeline! My heartbeat! My everything! You’re in my arms at last,” Syahla patted her head. “Don’t ever do that again, dear. I was worried sick. I haven’t eaten since yesterday!”
“I’m sorry Ma, I promise I won’t randomly disappear again without asking you first,” she ran her hand over her back to calm her mother.
“Baby, tell me what happened? This nice girl has already told me everything, but I want to hear it from you,” Sya pulled away to cup Meira’s chubby cheeks.
“I-I… I just went to say Hi to Ryat when police showed up and started shooting at the people. Mom, I saw g*ns and spent shells! The g*nshots were really loud too, my ears are still ringing. Everything was so messy, but Ryat was there and saved me. He took good care of me!” she threw a glance over her shoulder at Ryat, he just rolled his eyes and looked away. “He’s really mean and grumpy though.”
“I’m sorry to interrupt you but…” Katniss walked over as she adjusted her handbag under her arm and stooped to their level. “First off, I am so glad you’re alive. Secondly, what are they doing here? Carnage and the Heartless Boys Gang. Is this not where you live? Are we at the wrong place?”
Meira sighed and told Katniss the truth, “His real name is Ryat, Katniss, and he’s my stepbrother.”
“Meira, this is not.a comedy show. Stop making jokes, we should leave. Those five are dangerous,” Katniss took out a bottle of hand sanitizer to rub on her hands. “This day just can’t get any worse.”
As the three women spoke Ryat started walking towards the stairs so he could enter the mansion, his homeboys trailed closely behind him. Before he could reach the place Theodore appeared, blocking the boys’ path. They stopped walking and aggressively stared at him wondering why this man was standing in front of them, smiling.
“Ryat, my son. I wanted to talk about our previous conversation,” Theodore took slow, cautious steps to his son. Ryat was intimidating and with a glare that could freeze water. He didn’t want to upset him–Ryat takes after his mother more than he’d expect. “I think you misunderstood me–”
“Shut it,” he cracked his knuckles, he ran his hand through his greasy hair then tipped his head towards the building. Neon and the boys walked around him without question and entered. “Let’s go talk somewhere more private, Theodore.”
Being addressed by his father by son hurt the man’s heart, but he nodded and followed Ryat to a gazebo under a giant Wisteria tree. “Ryat, I know you h@të me–”
“Glad you do. So what the Füçk do you want? I said I’m not gonna sign a contract and take over your properties and businesses. Do I look like business man material to you? You’re un-Füçking-believable,” Ryat leaned on one of the circle concrete tables.
“My son–”
“I said don’t Füçking call me that,” he balled his fist ans stood back up, ready to break off the man’s jaws.
After treating him badly as a child to his early teen years, believing the lies of Angelica, allowing him to be sentenced to life in prison and didn’t even come visit him when he waited every day for him, this man has the nerve to ask him for something so bafflingly outrageous. ‘I should use a crowbar to disfigure his Füçking face right now, if he weren’t my dad he’d be d**d in a frozen somewhere with his organs missing,’ Ryat’s heart had a red hot knife searing through it, the blood bleeding from his heart morphed into black smoke. He genuinely thought his father finally cared. He was ready to forgive him and move on.
This man did not care about him at all. It hurts because he keeps thinking he’ll change–but he needs to wake up and realize Theodore Hamilton is a piece of Sh|t and will always be one. Ryat’s eyes had flaming lava in them, the anger building inside him made him feel murderous. He was shaking from the rage he badly tried to keep under control.
“Ryat, please. It’s been years. I’m old now. You were born to do this anyway. It is your destiny to take over after me, I need to retire now. I don’t have anymore children, you must sign the papers and take over. Ryat, please, I’m begging you. This is what your mother would’ve wanted–” a bone-crushing punch connected to his jaw before he could even finish. His head turned and he fell down, his jaw aching from the immense pain.
Unable to talk from the pain, he looked up at Ryat and tried crawling back on his hands. He stood there menacingly, eyes wide and pursed lips quivering. The veins in his arms seemed to be pulsing. He has never seen his son this angry before, Theodore held his hands up to shield his face from any incoming blows but instead, Ryat’s face crashed into his stomach making him vomit saliva.
He turned and walked off into the backyard afterwards to cool his mind before he rearranged the man’s face with his fists.
Just then, Theodore phone began vibrating in his pocket. He wiped his mouth and held his jaw as he took his phone. It had no caller ID and the name that popped up read ‘Private Number’. A chill ran down his spine and spread throughout his bloodstream. He hoped to God it wasn’t…him.
Nonetheless, he answered the call.
“H-hello? Who is this?” he spoke first, knowing the other person wouldn’t.
“Has he agreed yet?” a gravelly baritone cut through the speakers. “I’ll be visiting with my daughter soon, Theodore. Make sure the boy is ready. Don’t forgot our deal. I know your wife was the one who k*ll*d the girl in cold-blood. If you don’t want me to k*ll her for the Gardners then you’ll cooperate and not question me. Goodbye.”
The phone beeped, his heart dropped.
Years before Ryat was born he had been acquainted with a Russian gangster who he only knows as Wolfgang. He and the man had made a business deal; their first children would be joined together in a marriage of convenience. But after Ryat went to jail he and the man had a falling out, and the deal was forgotten about–at least according to him. One year ago the man got in touch with him and threatened him countlessly. The deal still stood–Ryat had been arranged to a Bratva gangster’s daughter before his brother. The situation was made worse, because Theodore owes the man millions upon millions of dollars.
He was screwed. Ryat would never agree to doing that.
What was he going to do?

???? ???????…
Christopher, who had been hiding, finally made his grand appearance in the living room but stopped at the doorframe with an extravagant bouquet of roses. The only problem is there was five boys lounging on the couches, Katniss–whom he knew–was in a chair watching them as she chewed her gum. Particularly, her eyes were on Korpse. She reached into her bag for lip gloss and was applying it in her makeup mirror when her mind told her to look up, when she did ocean blue eyes were peering into her soul. She paused–why was Korpse staring at her?
Meira was busy in her room changing. She’d be down soon, Katniss was waiting on her for a detailed explanation of what happened after she left with the Heartless Boys. As for her, she’d just been cleaned up by the nurses and released after giving a report of what happened–she of course lied when she talked to the police. Surprisingly, she felt nervous under his gaze, and he didn’t seem to want to look away. Korpse promised her fifty thousand dollars for her acting, she wanted the money but was too scared of them to ask.
Katniss finally tore her eyes away from him and sprayed cologne on, she touched up her face with a little makeup then got up from the chair to go stand by the big windows. His eyes followed her there, and she knew it.
Meanwhile, Syahla ordered Belinda to go serve her stepson, his friends, and the beautiful young lady she was starting to like. Bella struggled with the tray of Orange juice, when she got to the couch they were on everything almost spilled over Korpse and Venom but Bandit stood up in time to help her hold the tray. She looked up at him gratefully but got lost in his ravishing hazel eyes.
“Hey watch it maid, that almost spilled all over me,” Venom’s irritated voice broke the trance Bella and Bandit were put in.
“I’m so sorry,” she apologized and bowed. “Mrs. Hamilton sent you guys drink.”
“Take it the Füçk back did we say we were thirsty?” Korpse got up to sit beside Carnage.
“Well I am,” Katniss waltzed over in her jeans pants and tank top with her blue bra showing. “I love Orange juice, it has so much Vitamin C,” she took a glance and drank from it.
“Would you like some Vitamin D with that too?” Korpse asked, putting his feet on the table.
The boys looked at him with knowing smiles and laughed.
“I want my $50,000, thank you,” she rolled her eyes feeling angry and irritated for no apparent reason. Why was that goth, or emo, wh@tëver he was, looking and talking to her? So annoying.
“Sure, you can have that later, beautiful,” Korpse licked his lips, eyes unable to look away from the beautiful Goddess standing in front of him.
“You’re gross, don’t talk to me, I’m leaving to get Meira,” she dropped the glass, smoothed her hair down, flashed her hair and turned to angrily go find Meira. Lucky for her, Meira had just began coming down the stairs in purple leggings and a white cropped hoodie. She looked irrefutably beautiful, and sëxy as sin. “Girl, you look amazing. Slay Queen.”
“Thanks–what’s he doing here?” she spoke loudly when she noticed Christopher peaking from a hall entrance. Everyone looked up at her, then at him. “You’re not welcome in this place. Leave immediately!”
“Meira, I love you! Please accept this gift, I want you back and I’m willing to do anything to earn your forgiveness,” Christopher knelt with the flowers. “I missed you so much baby.”
“Mei bae, don’t you have maids here to take out the garbage? What’s that piece of trash doing in your home?” Katniss flashed her hair as she looked at Meira.
“He’s my ex-boyfriend. He cheated on me with my cousin, she’s standing right there with the tray. She’s also pregnant for him,” Meira explained with a sigh.
The boys and Katniss’s eyes bulged as they turned to look at Belinda, then at Christopher who was still kneeling awkwardly.
‘She had as an ex-boyfriend?’ the thought of her having intercourse with any guy, especially that guy, had Ryat’s blood boiling.
