Khalid sat on his comfy chair in the room while Zack stood infront of him, leaning forward on the table.
He was too angry and wouldnt even sit.
"I've been looking for that lady for weeks now, Khalid! For weeks!" He gritted.
Khalid was silent.
"I already explained the entire story to you. She played me, killed Mario and Lewis, then ran off to join your clan so she can have leverage against me? Is she that stupid?"
Khalid still remained silent.
He knew all about the issue Zack was
having with a lady; but he had no idea
that lady was the ctavia he knew.
"She needs to be punished" Zack continued, his voice filled with so much dark desires.
Only the devil knew what would happen
if he gets his hand on Octavia.
"I swear, I wanna ruin that b*tch! I want her dead, Khalid! The same way she killed my hrot!"
That was Lewis.
Half of Khalid's thoughts was filled with
Octavia, wondering how she could do a
thing like that. He never thought she could even hurt a fly. But with the things he heard..he just couldn't believe it.
He sighed and fred his finger from his jaw.
"I never knew she could do something like this, Zack" he rubbed his palm on his forehead as he spoke in a low tone.
"And that's the point! She's a wolf in sheep clothing! She's dangerous and needs to be taken care of" he answered angrily.
Damn it! He just couldn't control his temper.
Well, one thing was for sure he was definitely going to get her.
First, he knew Khalid was never going to
deny him of such revenge. And secondly,
he knew Octavia was still very vulnerable since she hadn't been signed into the Khalid clan yet. And of course the signing could never be done in less than a week. So, it's even impossible to do it immediately.
"I want her, Khalid!" he continued.
"I want her transferred to my clan before evening. I'Il be waiting" he added and left.

Becca was sipping sullenly from her coffee when Pamela rushed in, breathing heavily.
"Becca!" She squeaked as she rushed to
sit beside her on the bed.
Becca was surprised but was a little too
weak to show it.
Well, she's been that way since the previous day still embittered over the lost of her fhikd and has been indoors the whole time.
"You wouldn't believe what I just heard!" Pamela beamed.
"Octavia seems to be here for a reason.
She's here because she's running away
from Zack!"
Becca's eyes beamed. Okay, and that was when she could really show her surprise.
"What're you talking about, Pamela?
Wh...What do you mean she's running
away from Zack?" She asked, confused
"It's the truth, Becca, and I just got to
know about it few minutes ago. Phin
just told me about it because he was on
Khalid's doorpost with Santa when it
happened. He said Zack has yelled at
Octavia and had even beaten her up. He
said something like.. she killed Mario and Lewis"
"What?? Lewis??" Becca's eyes nearly popped out.
"Holy f**ker! That lady is indeed a murderer" she gasped.
"I'm more surprised, Becca. I actually never thought she could kill a fly"
Pamela shook her head, but Becca didn't have the strength to glare at her.
But somehow, she was right. She never
thought Octavia could consiously kill
someone. What could her reasons be?
What could've happened?
There was a brief silence as Becca tried
to digest the whole thing.
"So... where's Zack now? And where's Octavia?" She asked.
"Well, he said Octavia was taken to her room before Zack did worst to her. That's all I know for now" Pamela answered with pleasure.
"Hmm".
Becca was stunned and found it really
interesting. So, Octavia was there for a reason afterall? She was only in disguise. Shameless b*tch.
Well, it seems she'd be paying Khalid a visit soon.

Octavia was sitting quietly on the cold floor, her back resting on the wall.
She was yet to take her bath and clean herself up, but she wouldn't really blame herself since she was too tired to move.
She didn't want to.
Mica was still not back and she couldn't be any more happy than she already was. She Just wanted to be alone anyway.
Shortly, the door opened and she snapped her eyes open to have a look, I hoping it wouldn't be Mica.
Oh, no! It wasn't even her; but someone else she also didn't want to see.
It is was Santa.
"Get up, Octavia" he said. "The Master wants you in his room".
All the weakness in her body seemed to vanish as son as she heard Khalid's name.
He was calling for her? But why?
Oh! What does she mean why? Was she
expecting to walk scott free or what?
"Come on" the guard said again and she
dragged her tired legs up and walked towards him, and they left the room together.

She has her eyes glued to the floor the whole time and when they finally got to the room, she felt relieved.
But only for a second. Because the next second, the anxiety of meeting with Khalid suddenly struck at her and almost drained out the life in her.
The guard knocked on the door and when Khalid's voice replied, permitting just Octavia to go in.
And she did.
He was standing in front of the window, a tobacco pipe in his hand and as Octavia walked in and stood behind him, she felt so nervous as usual.
Master Zack - he didn't seem to be in.
Where could he be? Is it possible he's left already? What discussion or agreement did he have with Khalid?
So many disturbing thoughts kept flying into Octavia's mind, but she was finally able to get a grip of herself when she heard him call her name.
"Octavia..."
