"No, this isn't happening, no way" Delilah mumbles as fear surged through her and Mika won't stop moving
Delilah kept crawling backwards till her back hit the wall and eyes widened as Mika got closer, taking each step with a sinister glint in her eyes, making Delilah's forehead soaked with sweat, she felt something running through her back and that's when she noticed she's sweating profusely
"You can't be alive..... you are dead" Delilah lips jammed together as she covers her mouth almost immediately as Mika lowered herself down, making Delilah shrink in despair and fear
"Am I supposed to be dead?, Delilah?" Mika asked with her smile spreading wider as she grabbed Delilah's hand and a yelp escaped her lips and Mika slammed it shut with her right hand, Delilah was breathing heavily as they stared at each other
"The reaction on your face right now is priceless, and I can cross several mountains just to get this same reaction on your face, over and over and over again.... bîtch" Mika said and Delilah muffled sounds was the only thing that could be heard as she managed to push Mika off her, standing on her feet but the fear is still there, eating her deep down
"How are you still breathing?, you are supposed to be dead!" Delilah snapped and Mika scoffed loudly.... flipping her hair behind with a smirk
"I would have been dead, if your stupid allie hadn't been stupid, but guess what?, I'm not dead and you better watch your mouth or else I will kill you right here and no one would ever find out" Mika said with gritted teeth and Delilah shook her head as she suddenly reached for her phone but she couldn't find in her pocket
Her eyes almost popped out as Mika pulled out the phone behind her, twrilling it as Delilah reached for it but Mika stepped backwards, causing Delilah to almost fall on her face, she looks up at Mika and Mika smiles brightly
"Don't try to act smart with me, you see the only reason the cops aren't here right now is because I haven't decided to call them yet, but I will if you don't behave and listen to me" she said and Delilah steps backwards
"What do you want?" Delilah asked and Mika raised an eyebrow
"Well, I have all the messages you and Alfred sent to each other which is proof that you wanted to kill me, so now, you are going to have to do anything I say, anything at all....no matter what it is" Mika said and Delilah almost choked on her silava as Mika tossed her phone towards her and she caught it
"Are blackmailing me?, well the only reason I wanted you dead was because you are a threat to my love life and I wanted you out of the way, since you actually didn't die?, don't you think it's wise we forget about everything and move on with our lives" Delilah said with a smirk and Mika laughed out mockingly as she steps closer
"And you expect me to just ingore the glaring fact that you wanted me dead?, don't be stupid or else I will just go to the police and press charges against you, imagine your life in prison if I do so and Roland ending up with me" Mika said and Delilah felt her throat drying up as Mika words peirced her heart
Screw Alfred!, That walking dead bastard!!!
"Fine, I will do whatever you want just please don't let anyone know about this, if anyone finds out then my life would be over!" She semi yelled and Mika stroked her cheeks as she stared at the door
"I want you to out there and tell Avia that you won't take out these boxes.....if she really wants the boxes out then she should come take them herself" Mika commanded and Delilah's facial expression knew no bounds as she stared at Mika as if she's grown horns
"I can't do that!, She's going to fire me!" Delilah agonized and Mika scoffed, walking towards the door as she opened it
"Hold on let me look around to see how many fúcks I can give...." Mika said pretending to observe the whole place and looks back at Delilah..... " You see, none" Mika said with a smirk and Delilah reluctantly moved her feet as she got to the door where Mika stood
"Can't I do something else?, Please" Delilah pleaded as she clutched onto her uniform
"Oh, trust me, there are alot of things I have planned for you, don't you think you should hurry up?, Avia must be wondering what's taking you so long" Mika said as she pushed Delilah out and she stumbled.... maintaining her balance as she walked towards the main resort
Mika had a deadly joker clown look on as she followed Delilah, Delilah was visibly shaking as she approached Avia
"Hey!, What took you so long and where are the goddamn boxes!?" Avia thundered as Delilah rubbed her sweaty palms on both sides of her uniform
Roland looked up from his phone and Mika stood with a smirk as she watched the drama in front of her
She's going to make life a living hell for Delilah before finally reporting her to the cops, but for now, it wouldn't be such a bad thing to have a little fun, now would it?
"I'm not taking out the boxes" Delilah voiced out and Avia blinks repeatedly as she looked around, trying to figure out if she was actually referring to her
"Pardon?, what did you just say?" Avia asked again and Delilah took in deep breaths as she looks back at Mika, Mika winked at her with a smirk as she faced Avia who is still confused as fúck
"I said I'm not taking out the boxes, if you want the boxes then go get them yourself" Delilah finally voiced out audibly and Mika rubbed her hands together as she sat down, Roland couldn't believe his ears as he watched the whole senerio
"Are you insane!?, You dare talk to me in that manner!?" Avia thundered as she glared at Delilah
"So?, What are you going to do about it?, I said I'm not doing what you asked, deal with it and stop bothering me!" Delilah snapped as she rolled her eyes and walked out on Avia before she says anything else
Avia mouth was wide open as Mika couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, she's loving the whole thing, killing two birds with one freaking stone..... Roland followed Delilah immediately and Mika scoffed as she watched Avia stormed out
"This is going to be super fun!!!!" She sequels as she kicks her feet and hands, settling down as she stared at her phone
Ten missed calls and several unread messages from Jasmine, she gulped down as she tossed her phone away, looking at no one in particular as she devilshly comes up with the next task for Delilah
★★★
"Delilah!, what happened back there?, do you actually realized what you've done?, you could get fired" Roland said and Delilah stopped walking as she slowly turned around
"Why are you following me?, can't you see I want to be alone?" Delilah asked as she suddenly felt irritated and Roland frowned upon her attitude
"Why are suddenly acting strange?" Roland asked as he stared down at her quizzically
"It's none of your business, stop following me" she retorted as she made to leave but he held her hand and she groans
"You can't just walk out on me and expect me not to be worried about you, you are my friend and it's not nice if you are acting strange and I have no idea why" he said softly and her heart squeezed with an unexpected hurt
Friend?
Friend?
Fùck friend!, she can't risk killing someone for his sake and still get friend zoned!, that's messed up, she's messed up
"Let me go Roland, I want to be alone" she said under her breath but he didn't budge
"It's either you tell me or we continue standing here" he said frankly and she scoffed..... she can't believe how clueless he can be
Like, doesn't he have eyes, is he blind?, Can't he read the signs in front of him?
He's just cute....but very gollible and dull, if it were other guys?, They would have figured out by now or maybe he's just ignoring the fact that two girls are into him
"I said let me go!" She half yelled as she pushed him off, glaring hard at him before walking away like she never stood there
Roland watched her retreating figure and sighs as he brought out his phone
"It's official, she has something she's hiding" he mutters as he slowly walked away

🌹Jasmine's Pov 🌹
I tossed my phone away as Mika refused to pick nor reply my messages, she's obviously mad at me and she has every right to
If Mika can be this angry, how would Jayson react?
He wouldn't find it funny at all and he's going to hate me for life if I tell him about it, or maybe not?
It's hard to tell what's going to happen, seeing that we are now awfully close, he's now super clingy and well, i love it.....no I don't, I can't love anything
I sigh for the hundredth time as I felt a pair of strong yet mild hands covering my eyes, a small smile creept on my face as I placed my hands over, inhaling his minty manly scent, a scent I've come to recognized even in my sleep
"Jay, it's really funny considering the fact that we are the only ones who live in this big mansion" I said with a chuckle and he pinched my cheeks as I let out a light giggle
"Ouch!, That hurts" I rolled my eyes playfully as he hugged me from behind, his hands over my shoulders as I held his
"You are being a killjoy, you could have just played along" he grumbled and I raised an eyebrow.... although I can't see his face, but I definitely know he's smiling
"Oh really?, now I'm a killjoy?, Screw you" I muttered as I try to wriggle out of his grip but he held me still, pressing my shoulders with his weight and I think I might pass out soon
"You already did few hours ago..... want more?" He whispered in my ears and I felt something tingle down my spine as I poked his head resting on mine
"You are being naughty again....go away!" I whined and he chuckled as he finally released me and I breathe out in relief, honestly I thought he was going to shrink me with his huge figure
"I'm bored, let's do something fun" he said and I looked at him
"Movie?....." I suggested and he smiles as he hurriedly sat besides me, laying his head on my thighs as I subconsciously found myself caressing his brown curls....I would never admit this, but his hair is really smooth and fluffy
He took the remote control and my throat itched to tell him the truth, but what if he reacts terribly to it, kicking me out of his life and ruining everything that we've managed to build
Not that it matters but I don't know, I don't think he's faking his affection towards me and I'm certainly enjoying our time together, I don't want it to end, not now at least
"Jay?" I called and he tears his gaze off the TV and look up at me, our brown orbs meeting each other, creating a sweet friction as I continued to dip my long fingers into his hair, I could never get tired of feeling the smooth texture and softness it brings to my finger's pad
"Umm, Star" he answered and I cleared my throat
"Hypothetically speaking, what if, just what if, you know, one day you find out that this marriage of ours was actually planned.... what will you do?" I blurted out and he frowned a bit as he held my hands, I saw the flash of unbelieve and hurt but it wasn't deep....he slowly raised his head from my thighs as I looked at him
"You don't want to know my reaction Star, drop that question" he sounded serious and I felt my palms sweaty as I pulpits danced with his, looking at each other but his gaze was intense and the atmosphere became stuffy
"I was just asking, it's not as if we're in an arranged marriage or anything, I just wanna know what your reaction would be" I ventured and he raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner
"I won't be able to comprehend what my reaction would be, I don't even want to imagine that I'm in an arranged marriage with you, I know my mom forced us to get married but I've come to like the person whom I once hated, and I don't want that to end" he said as he held my hands and I pulled him into my warm embrace
Shutting my eyes closed as tears threatened to fall out but I struggled to keep them in check
How do I bring myself to tell him that his worst fear, is actually real.....that I'm nothing but a fregment of his imagination and all these isn't real..... the wedding ring on my finger is fake
It's barely three weeks and he has fallen for me, the initial plan was to report immediately he opened up to me about his feelings but now?, I can't even bring myself to tell him or his mother anything
I'm stuck in a big mess
"It's okay Jay, I'm here for you, I will always be here for you" I muttered as I rubbed his back soothingly.....in as much as it sounded as a big lie.... it's actually the truth and I meant it
I can't risk telling Jayson the truth now, not after hearing what he said, I can't bare to see him sad or broken because of me, it's going to shatter my entire existence, it's going to turn my already cloudy world into a storm of pain, I just can't hurt him
He smiles at me before resting his head in the initial position
"I miss you Star, and I can't wait to have you back" he said and I stared at him with mixed emotions running through me
Have me back?..... does that ring a bell?

"Arrrrrrragh!!!!" Delilah yells as she trashed Alfred's mirror as it broke into pieces I'm front of her
She immediately left for his tiny apartment right after pushing the love of her life away, that hurts!
She saw the confusion on Roland's eyes
"What's come over you!?, you are destroying my room!" Alfred snapped and she grabbed the hem of his shirt, fisting it in both hands as she pulled him close with a glare on her face
"I will do more than destroying your stupid room if you don't shut the fúck up you bloody bastard!" She shouted and he shoved her away....but that doesn't stop her from slapping the living day lights out of him
The slap echoed through the room as Alfred held his burning cheek and she dipped her hands into her hair as she suddenly felt like passing out
"Did you just slap me?" His voice came out with disbelief and she glared at him
"I thought you said you killed her?, I thought you finished the goddamn job!?, That bîtch is still alive and she's breathing!!" She yelled and he furrowed his eyebrows
"That's impossible, I killed her, I made sure she stopped breathing before I left" he rasped huskily and she felt like stabbing him to death
"Obviously she tricked you into thinking she died, and now she's fùcking blackmailing me!, I feel like drowning in her blood while I plunge out her heart right off her stupid chest " she gritted and Alfred felt gumbstruck as Delilah started sobbing
"I'm sorry, I had no idea" he trails off as he tries to hold her but she glared at him and he retreated, looking away
"I trusted you with a simple task and you failed me woefully, I knew how much I fùcking paid you and I expect my money back before I kill you with my bare hands" she threatened
"I'm going to pay you back but just let me try again, I promise to get her this time around" he said and she couldn't believe her ears
"Are you dumb!?, You think she wouldn't report you snutty àss to the police!?, stay the hell away from her and let me handle this my way" she quaked and he nods
"She thinks she can hold me down for long, but I'm definitely going to get her, I will play along for now but she's going to regret ever doing this to me" she barked angrily as she stormed out and Alfred sighs
Delilah is definitely obsessed with Roland and when she gets like this, she can do anything just to get what she wants

Jasper smiles sinisterly as he watched the news about Jayson's lastest progress in the business, he titls his head backwards as a smile that holds no emotions graze through his mind and he rubs the corner of his lips with his thumb, imagining what his victory would be like
"When are you going to reveal yourself to him?" Laurence voice interupts his thoughts and he smiles
"Soon, very soon..... and I'm sure he's not going to like it.....my mom might even pass out due to the shock" he said and Laurence smriks
"You still care about your mom" he said and Jasper frowned instantly
"I don't give two shîts about her feelings, besides she never cared if I was alive or dead, she never cared about me at all" he said as a sting of hurt laced through him but he ignores it completely
"I can't help but imagine the helpless reaction Jayson would make once he finds out you are still alive, it would be thrilling" Laurence smriks as he sit down finally
" The burning vengeance looming deep inside of me could quench an entire city, I can feel the hatered and my victory at the same, it's so close Laurence, so close that I can almost touch it" Jasper said with zero emotions as he stared at the TV.....
Right from birth everything has always been about him
He's always the center of attention, the most loved and cared for
But he's about to put an end to Jayson's reign
"I'm going to hurt him Laurence, I'm going to hit him right where it hurts and watch him bleed before my very eyes and make our mom watch while he dies" Jasper said as determination laced through his voice
Laurence couldn't help but stare in awe as he saw the pure vengeance lingering in every single word that rolls out of his mouth
"I'm right beside you on this one" Laurence smriks and Jasper returns the energy
Soon, everything will be his to claim
