Steven had just stepped out of the shower not too long ago when he heard his doorbell ring downstairs.
With a smirk, he hurriedly put on a plain black T-shirt, his grey joggers, and with his small towel hung around his neck to soak up the water droplets running down his wet shiny black hair, he got down the stairs, leisurely taking his time despite the doorbell being rang consistently and impatiently.
Without thinking twice, he opened the door, and was taken aback for a second to see a beautiful blonde standing there.
She had wide hips and fair smooth skin which she didn't bother concealing with the body hugging leather jumper she wore, and her smoky black eyes searched the area behind him before she innocently turned her doe shaped eyes back to him.
"Can I help you?" She was beautiful, but he was unfazed as he coldly asked, his narrowed eyes watching her every move.
"Oh sorry," The girl laughed nervously before she offered her hand. "I'm Stella from nextdoor, I was wondering If you have a screw driver I can borrow?"
"Sure." He suddenly smiled, the side of his lips slowly crawling up into a devious smirk. "Why don't you come in and wait while I get It."
"Thank you." Stella said with a brief smile before she walked ahead of him, not suspecting anything before he suddenly shut the door as faced her.
"Who sent you?"
She suddenly turned towards him with a confused expression in her eyes.
"What?"
Steven rolled him eyes as he leaned close to his door, folding his arms.
"Didn't you hear me the first time?"
"I don't know what you... "
He suddenly jutted his chin towards her wrist. "That's a Fire-Boltt Visionary 1.78" AMOLED Bluetooth Calling Smartwatch. It's beeping green at the moment which means someone is currently on the line now listening to our conversation... "
Stella's face turned pale as he walked up towards her and brushed her hair backwards revealing the earpiece in her ear which she had her hair hide perfectly.
"And I did a complete scan of this neighborhood when I moved in, sweetheart. There's no one named Stella, and definitely not a slut like you."
"You... " Her face paled even more in shock as she took in his large frame towering over her and he glared down at her with an intimidating cold smirk on his face before his eyes landed on the green dot blinking on her watch.
"I didn't know you missed me that much, Step mother." He said outloud, his smirk growing.
Ariana gnashed her teeth where she sat in her office before she hissed into her watch connected to the earpiece.
"What are you waiting for? Kill the bastard and the other peasants there with him. Ensure his entire family is brought down this instant!"
On her order, Stella sprang into action, and the next second, she grabbed his hand which was still hovering close to her ear, and twisted It with swift movements, having his stomach bent over headrest of the couch in the living room with his hand twisted behind him and her body straddling the back of his knees from behind in seconds.
Steven was shocked at how swift, fast and strong she was for a young woman who appeared innocent and harmless, but he wouldn't say he was surprised knowing his mother would go all out to ensure he was taken down.
However, when he felt the nuzzle of a gun close to his forehead and the girl's ragged breath behind him, he smirked.
"Who's the slut now?" She hissed at him.
"Well, you're the one who has me trapped underneath your body on a couch. You tell me." He began saying, his smirk growing even more when he watched her thumb play around the trigger from the edge of his eyes.
"Bastard." With that, she made to pull the trigger, but at that moment, he turned with sharp precise movements and had her backed to the couch with her wrists held down above her head, Steven half straddling her over the settee.
The gun clattered to the ground along with the watch, and Stella was left shocked as she stared up at him with her chest rising and falling in sync with his.
Ariana's grip tightened over the pen she had in her fisted hand as she heard the struggle going on between them in the background.
"You have guts- I'd give It to you. Coming into my house and attempting to hurt my family, now that's unforgivable." He said with a ragged breath, forcing her wrists further down as she struggled in vain underneath him, a cruel smirk on his face.
"Fuck you... " she hissed, but like a puppeteer, he had her under his control, and in seconds, both her wrists were in one grip and he had his hand around her throat.
As he strangled her with his large veiny fingers around her neck, slowly tightening his grip, he grew excited watching her eyes roll to the back of her head as she gasped for breath, dying.
Oh how he loved watching people suffer, seeing her gasp for breath as she wriggled underneath him, fighting for her life was a pleasure.
Suddenly, from the ring on her finger, she produced a sharp blade. He was taken aback from the sudden ambush that he was distracted- long enough for her to swing her hand up and slash the blade against the side of his forehead down to his cheek.
"Shit." He cursed outloud as she kicked him off her and he landed on the floor, on his back, holding his forehead, his hand getting painted by the blood flowing from the side of his head.
He groaned and cursed repeatedly but he was well aware of the sound of Stella cocking the gun as she stood over him, breathing fast with disgust and anger on her face, little bit of his blood on her face.
Bam!
She shot him in the chest without hesistation, and as he fell back, she didn't falter for a second before she loaded her gun again and ran upstairs, heading for his mother and sister. She had all her information from Ariana Torres, so she knew he had a mother and a sister.
On entering the last room of the house after searching every nook and cranny of the place, she stood there in dismay and confusion wondering where they had disappeared to.
"Oh... I forgot one more thing..." On hearing the familiar voice, she turned in shock, and with her eyes wide, the gun in her grip dropped on the floor and she staggered back with a hand to her mouth.
Standing there with her watch in his grip as he spoke into It, a crazy glint as he glared at her, she saw a bloody wound on his chest which had soaked the front of his shirt in dark red blood.
There was an evil smile on his face which had blood flowing profusely from one end.
"... my family is currently in a motel for some few days. I kind of knew you were going to send people to kill me once you knew about my existence just like you did to my late father's baby mamas and children, so I improvised."
Ariana was frozen shock that she couldn't even move from where she sat, but her grip on the pen hardened, and the next second, It snapped and she got up and slammed her hands on the table so loudly It echoed around the building.
"You bastard... just who are you and how the fuck are you still alive?!"
