MARCHE DISTRICT, VENICE IN ITALY ( The Velvet Vixens' domain; Shante's room)
"How dare you kill him?" Drex roared angrily,his body shaking tremendously because of the angry emotion that's surging within him.
"He wanted to rape someone." Shante spoke calmly, Drex's anger isn't even having a toil on her,she looked unfazed.
"Spare me that bullshit Te, you clearly know how it works here; what the hell has come over you,you killed one of my boys while he was going his job,are you insane?" Drex yelled,his eyes bloodshot.
"Well if you don't want this incident to repeat itself again then warn your boys to treat my girls with care and not treat them like fucking whores." She yelled back, breathing harshly because she used all her strength to shout.
"Ain't you guys whores? Tell me what's the difference between you guys and harlots? You fucking do the same role." Drex hissed mockingly, scorning at her.
"We're here because we don't have a choice,you think we want to be here? Isn't it this dirty job or death for us? At least harlots have a fucking choice so don't you dare compare us,we have high regards for ourselves." Shante yelled angrily,her face was already turning red because of anger.
Drex looked at her in contempt "Pathetic,you know what Mrs LaRue will do to you once she finds out you killed one of her servant for no reason?"
"He wanted to rape a girl." Shante hollered
"And you think that's a reasonable reason? Just know you're in serious trouble." He jeered walking closer to her "But you know I can cover it up once you give me what I want."
He took large strides towards her in a menacing manner but Shante stood still with her chin raised,she looked at him scornfully "I prefer sleeping with a pig to sleeping with you." She spat angrily.
Drex remained undaunted and continued his steps towards her, soon he got to her front and he didn't hesitate to grope her left breast very hard.
Shante let out a small whimper due to the pain but within a few seconds,she stopped.
Drex looked down on her in mockery,she was only on flip - flops and she looked short compared to him and that made Drex feel like he was in a higher position.
"Yunno,I can take you right here,right now." He whispered sexily making sure his breaths were meeting her lips but Shante just stared at him coldly because she felt nothing, absolutely nothing.
"And I won't hesitate to get rid of you as I did with the other guy." She slapt his hand away angrily and pushed him off with all her strength. "If there's a punishment for me because I did the right thing then I'll gladly accept it but laying with you? Over my dead body." She hurled.
Drex was about to talk back at her when the ringing tone of a phone interrupted him, Shante glared at him coldly before walking to the table when she saw "Mrs LaRue " as the caller ID.
"Madam Viv" She called out respectfully.
"I heard about your actions and I must say, I'm very impressed." Mrs LaRue said suprisely that Shante felt like she was dreaming.
Drex heard her words and his eyes darkened in disbelief,is that really Mrs LaRue? He thought.
Shante felt so happy,this is the first time Mrs LaRue will appreciate her decision; she looked at Drex and gave him a scornful gaze. Drex scoffed at her actions.
"Seriously?" She beamed happily
"Yeah, I'm so impressed that I'm highly disappointed in you"
The happiness in Shante died down immediately she heard those words,she turned grumpy and Drex gave a mocking gaze more like asking her,what where you expecting?
"I taught so well, I thought I trained you to be a cold hearted animal that will never soften because of stupid weak cries. I am really highly disappointed; what were you thinking when you were doing that rubbish? What's the meaning of the staunt you pulled?" Mrs LaRue yelled over the phone.
Shante felt wronged immediately,she moued her lips in displeasure and unjustly " Madam Viv." She called out "You taught me to be cold hearted towards men not my fellow women,I couldn't watch one of my girls treated like a doll made for only satisfaction,it just wasn't right and I had to do the only thing that felt right."
"And what you felt was right is defying my orders right? I specifically assigned him to train her but you felt that my orders and arrangements didn't make sense so you decided to step in, isn't that your so called right way?"
"No ma, that's not what I di..." Shante trailer at her words and breathed in heavy, there's no point in making excuses, what had been done is done already.
"I'm sorry ma." She apologized instead.
" You're sorry? You're sorry??" Mrs LaRue hollered in anger before breathing harshly.
Shante didn't say anything again and just waited for her anger to die down.
"Proof to me that you're sorry by fixing this."
Shante immediately felt something was wrong;she could feel it to the bones but she just can't pinpoint where it's actually going wrong. "How can I fix this ma?"
"I want you to get rid of the lady before twenty four hours elapses" Her icy voice was heard through the phone.
Shante froze immediately after hearing the words "M...m..a...a ...ma?" Shante stammered shakily in absolute shock
"You heard me right, don't make me repeat myself."
"B..u..butttt why?" Shante murmured incoherently
"You dare question my orders?" Mrs LaRue hollered.
Shante shivered slightly but did not say anything again.
"Well the trainer's dead so it's only right to get rid of the novice." She spoke nonchalantly laughing at her words " The reason is understandable rii?"
"But we can appoint another trainer to her." Shante tried reasoning out but Mrs LaRue took it for an offense
"Here you go again, always feeling like my orders and judgment doesn't make sense."
"No, that's not wha..." Mrs LaRue interrupted her coldly "I've passed my orders,make sure you carry it out."
"I don't think I can do it ma" Shante mumbled shakingly and Mrs LaRue laughed in amusement
"Just like I had expected." She flickered her tongue, making sure the sounds were heard over the phone "This mission is at the expense of Julian's life."
"M...m...ma?"
"The girl or Julian,choose one,the ball's in your court." Mrs LaRue ended the call immediately and Shante just stood dumbly.
Drex clearly overheard the conversation and he knows the tight spot she's in. He waved his hand in front of her face but that was the greatest mistake to make cause Shante caught his hand abruptly,twisting it painfully making Drex yell in pain before back flipping him.
Drex landed on the floor in a thund and he twitched his face in pain and anger immediately. "What the fuck did I do?"
"Bloody Snitch." She hissed at him and wanted to walk out when Drex quickly held her back
"Snitch? You fucking think I told on you? Why do yo..." Shante interrupted him angrily, slapping his hands away.
"Fuck off." She kicked his belly before walking out angrily.
"Ouch,fuck..." He hissed in pain "Fucked up bitch."
He whimpered and twitched while holding his stomach; just what did he do?
