"Well to shock you, you are wrong. She have a family and one who are ready to anything for her, even if it means killing the whole world ." I retorted gritting my teeth and I meant my words.
"Hello... " a tiny voice said and it was Rechel. I turned to face her. " I'm still here okay and to shock the both of you. I don't have a damn family. they are all dead to me." She said through gritted teeth and I felt a loud bang in my head. Nothing have ever hurt me more than my very own sister denying me in front of a stranger.
"And as for you Maximo if you don't want the wrath of the de costas you better leave here for your own good."
A glitch of terror sparkled in his eyes at the sound of THE DE' Costas. Wow so he doesn't even me.
Some guy suddenly ran into our midst, panting heavily.
"Capo. Antonio de costa just arrive here." The guy informed.
"What??" The Maximo guy screamed like a Scardy cat and shook like jellyfish. His next action caught me unaware, he ran away with the guy that came.
I slapped myself mentally for letting him go off just like that, not with all the stuffs I've intended to do to him in my torture chamber and damn me I wasn't with my gun. I would have shot him right in the head. Fuck!!
Anyways Antonio however walked into the bar right in that instant. Like a scan meachine, his eyes met mine and he headed towards my direction with long strides.
"Jayden what are you..." he halted as he noticed Rechel who was standing before me.
"Rechel? Baby are you alright? where have you been? What happened? Why did you ran away?" Antonio rushed her with questions as he strokes back her messy hair, checking her out.
"Which one do you want me to answer first?" Rechel snarled. rudely yanking Antonio's hands off her. Both I and Antonio shared glances. He's obviously as thunderstruckrd, stupefied and addle as I was.
What's with the cold shoulders?
"Well, I don't think there'll be need answering all that. You obviously don't look okay but the good thing is that I finally found you." Antonio said leniently with a small smile.
"Well don't rejoice just yet. that You found me doesn't change a thing." Rechel riposted.
"What do you mean..." Antonio brows furrowed with a frown. "anyways. I've got no time for this. Let's go home now."
"I don't have a home" Rechel blunted out taking retreating steps from Antonio.
"Of course you do Rechel. You have a home now come let's go home." Antonio persisted and tried getting her to come with us but she was being really stubborn.
Her stubbornness was getting on my nerves but to much of my surprised I stayed cool. I was still trying to wrap my head at why she doesn't want us.
"Well you better behave yourself dear and let's go home peacefully or you won't like my next line of action. Trust me you don't want to see the angry side of me baby" Antonio sounded threatening and I was going to do same too.
After all I've got no reason to be scared that she'll get terrified of me obviously she already hates us for reasons best known to her and she doesn't look like one who get spooked easily unlike clarrisa, hence it was wise for Antonio to employ more action and thankfully it works on her.
"Whatever" she finally agreed in the most discourteous way, rolling her eyeballs. Antonio chuckled as if finding her arrogant disposal funny.
Again for the second time, I lost Kayla. By the time we were done with Rechel, I looked around but couldn't find Kayla anymore. Seems like it's her lucky period I'll surely get her one day.
we all three headed out of the bar. Rechel was ahead of us, bouncing like a bull in china shop. I wonder why she could be this angry at us to be honest.
Rachel's POV
When I successfully escaped from the de costas that night, I had gone to the scarlet Tower low security prison, the place where my mother was convicted. I went there in hopes of seeing mum and telling her the new development of my life but when I got there, I discovered that she've been transferred to the Rockwood penitentiary prison in Capri.
The news really got me so pissed. I was stranded, Capri was really distance and I had no dime to travel over there. My only option was to call John. He got me an apartment and had been helping keep an eye on both the de costas and my boss, Maximo else I will expose him but now look.
They all still fucking found me in the end.
I swear I'm gonna give John a taste of his own medicine. I didn't really follow the de costa boys cause of his silly threat, I just deemed it safe to go with them. Now that boss know I'm out here, he'll come for me again and take me back to his agenda to be his sex toy. No I can't go through that again. I fucking can't.
I've to stay with de costas so I'll have time to plot a way to leave the state and start a new life.
"Sei venuto con un passaggio, vero?" I heard one of them spoke in Italian as as we walked out of the bar.
Of which I understood every word of it but it wasn't something relating to me so I gave no shit.
[You came with a ride didn't you?]
"sì... perché?"
[yeah/yes...why?]
"Allora guiderò con voi ragazzi. Fammi mandare un messaggio a Victor di andare a casa con l'auto con cui sono venuto"
[ I'll be riding with you guys then. Let me text victor to go home with the car I came with]
"Comunque cosa sei venuto a fare qui?"
[What did you came to do here anyway?]
"Ti spiegherò tutto dopo"
[I'll explain everything to you later]
They didn't say any more thing till we were at the garage.
As we got to the garage , I waited and followed the boys lead to a car. It was the latest Bugatti. 2022 Chiron Super Sport. Yeah I'm very familiar with cars. I worked in an Agency remember?
The Eldest one opened the back door for me and after hesitating for a while I got in and angry bird got in with me at the back seat.
Yeah I don't know thier name and don't fucking care though.
Perhaps the Angry bird really suits the younger one cause he was no different from angry bird that day we first met.
As I got myself settled in, I then discovered that the person at the driver seat was John. I swear I saw the terror that swirled in his face, when his eyes met mine through the rare view.
I Just Smirk at him, belated at the impact I have on him.
'Don't worry fucker I'll make you regret your existence and the day you double crossed me.' I said in my mind.
Isn't karma just great?
"Baby are you alright...?" The eldest guy asked from the front seat as John was getting ready to start the car. without giving him a response I rolled my eyes and turned to the window. I'm not his responsibility so he shouldn't ask me if I'm okay.
Where were they all these while that I haven't been okay?
As we're already on the highway, angry bird asked "who was that guy Rechel?
"Who...?" I asked turning to face him.
"The fucker who was going to rape you who's..."
"What?? That was eldest guy yelling, interrupting Angry bird. "Rape? Did I heard that right?"
"Yeah you did. Some fucker was forcing himself on our sister but good thing I came right in time."
"Who the hell is that fucker? Don't tell me he's still breathing cause if he's I'm gonna chuff you first before brutalizing him."
"Well unfortunately he escaped..." I watch the guy at front furrowed his brows, dead angry.
"but that doesn't mean we can't find him. For now I need to know who that fucker is Rechel. Tell me." Both angry bird and the other guy gave me thier attention.
"Why will I tell you?"
"Just stop this. Rechel" the guy at the front snapped to much of my surprise. The angry side of him indeed scared the fish bones out of me. He looked more scary than my own boss.
"Well...He's maximo"
"who is he To you..." Angry bird repeated, dead calm.
"Someone who saw me at the club and was about to rape me." I say nonchalantly.
I can't tell them anything cause as much as I hate that my boss, Maximo. I Can't trust the de costa as well. In this life I only trust myself and my secrets are mine to keep.
"That's fucking bullshit. First off someone whom you just saw wouldn't know and use your name. Most especially when I told him I was your family he confidently opposed it that you don't have a family. Someone whom you just met wouldn't be so sure about your personal affair." Angry bird emphasized.
His hubristic display of smartness got me chucking sarcastically. "Oh please Spare me the smart card drama. Before acting smart, try to fish out the snake in your gang and then we can continue this discussion."
John sneezed and when I look at him on the mirror, I swear if I'd the eye of an eagle, He was tormenting with guilt.
Don't worry John I ain't gonna expose you yet, I'm gonna make your exposure sooo sweet.
"What do you mean?" The guy at the front asked looking perplexed and snoopy.
"Every gang have a snake don't tell me you need an Oracle to tell you that" I scoffed, and looked away
Clarrisa P.O.V,
. I don't remember when last I Beamed with a genie smile, When last I was this elated and high spirited like a kid without problems. Probably back then before my adopted father died. But see me now, All smiles and bubbling with laughter as I was having a nice time with my brother at the mall.
Liam wore some outfits that looks really funny on him and then comes to show me, I couldn't help laughing. I had bought more than enough stuffs. About three big poly bags were filled with all the stuffs I've shopped but Liam keep urging me to shop some more.
And it turns out that as I kept roaming about this large mall, there were just so many stuffs that catches my attractions and I wasn't afraid to demand for it. I felt so free around Liam and truely happy.
"Alright I think these are okay for me." I said for like the hundredth time, motioning at the all four bags Liam was holding leisurely.
"Are you sure? There a lot of stuffs we haven't check out you know" Liam says persuasively.
"I know there are lot but if we really want to check out all of them we will end up buying the entire mall" I said with a small laugh.
"And who says my sister can't have the entire mall. Look as long as you are my sister you deserve the world..." Liam Said with a smile. I felt tears welled in my eyes, call me an emotional freak but I'm not really use to praises. Ever since dad's passing, everyone had always discriminated me.
I wanted to hug Liam but decided against it.
I just thanked him and told him I am okay with all the goodies we've bought.
he didn't got the chance to push further cause his phone came ringing.
"Oh. Watchover the bags I'll be back okay. Let me take this" Liam told me and dropped the bags on the spot where we were standing. I gave him a nod and he left with the phone. He just walked to a few distance. A place where I could still see him but he was giving me his back.
I stood waiting for him for finish the call and while waiting, I suddenly heard two voices beside me.
"And if it isn't the dumb queen herself" A familiar voice said and when I turned side ways, shock held me rigid at the faces I saw more like trepidation. I shouldn't be suprise to see them here, this mall seems like an expensive and prominent one and they were one of the most wealthiest kids at our school so it's not weird for them to be seen here.
Before me stood the very girls I dreaded most in school back then, aside from being queens bees at our school they were one of my bullies.
The sight of them made everything they've done to back then comes rushing back, God I was dying in terror right now.
"Wow it's really you sweetie..." cassey the pinked headed one smiled sarcastically. They started making jest of me abs laughing at what they were saying to me.
The scenario took me back to my school days. Everything right now dwindled off and it then happened that I was at the school alley.
Student were surrounding me and I was crying profusely.
Rose, cassey and their friend amberlle were standing before me poking fun at me.
"You know this is how you should actually look like. A freak should always look exactly like a freak" ambelle said grinning, proud of themselves for what they just did. Yeah they just sliced out some good amount of my hair and strands of my hair were all over the floor.
"Why are you crying? You don't like it or you want me to add more designs to it?" Rose said threatening a sissies to my hair. The only thing I could do was hiccup.
"Now why won't your brothers hate you so much. You are so dumb. A simple question you can't answer. You know if I were you, I'll just kill myself. No body wants you. you are so ugly, dumb and a big freak. You are such a stain to this school." Uncomtrobale tears continue streaming down my cheeks as they kept saying suck of bad words to me as mocking me. I felt so useless for not being able to defend myself. But it's not my fault right? It's not my fault that I'm not gifted with boldness right?
Perhaps how can I be bold when my brothers who are suppose to protect me, joins people to bully me. I've no say of myself. Nothing. I'm just a pawn.
"what's going on here?" My heart jumped as I heard that voice. Trailing the voice I look up to meet my all three brothers now present on the scene.
Samson didn't wait for any resposne, when he sees me crying, his eyes went plain red. He veered towards me and before I could escape, he started pulling
hair "is it that you so dumb or you just won't stop dragging Clintons name to the mud!!! You have hands and mouth. what the hell are they use for huh." He kept dragging my head back and front, I felt the remains of my hair threatening to pull out of my skull. I was in raw pains. My tears increased and I begged him to stop. No one came to my rescue, even my two other brothers were just watching.
"Is it For you to cry while your fellow girls bullies you?huh?" He Pushed me roughly to the ground and drag me up again.
"You keep giving me more and more reasons to hate you. How did you become my sister huh!!" He flung me back to the ground.
"You know if I were you guys," he was facing the girls. "I'll stop wasting time and kill her already she's a shame to both this school and everyone." He yelled.
"What's going on here?" That voice brought me back the presence and it was then I realized that I was now a crying mess. Rose and cassey were still standing giving me weird glances. I turned side to meet the irated gaze of Liam. For some reasons, it scared the shit out of me.
Gosh why am I always like this? Just when I was beginning to feel free with one of brothers, I decided to spite him up by crying in front of two fellow girls. Now he'll see me as a shame to the De Costa's name. I'm such a disgrace!!
