VENETO DISTRICT,THE EROS EMPIRE; THE GARDEN OF EDEN CLUB'S LAIR; SARDINA IN ITALY... 12 AM.
It is the last Friday of the month again,a day scheduled for THE EROS EMPIRE'S meeting,a meeting that's important and essential for all members,if you fal to make it that month, just start preparing for your funeral.
The room is dimly lit and intimate, hidden deep in one of the building of THE EROS EMPIRE,located at the outskirts of town. The air is thick with the scent of smoke, incense, and something sweetly perfumed.
Seated around a large, ornate table are the club's elite members; Rajesh Blackwood of THE BLACKOUT BROTHERHOOD, Vivian LaRue of THE VELVEX VIPERS, Lilith Rose of THE SIREN'S LAIR, Marcus Redding of THE RED ROOM SOCIETY, Honeywell Morgan of THE HONEY TRAP, they all sat according to their rankings; each with their own unique brand of charisma and manipulation. Candles flicker, casting eerie shadows on the walls as they engage in hushed, calculated conversation.
The table itself is adorned with exquisite antique artifacts and mysterious symbols etched into the wood. A delicate, crystal chandelier hangs above, casting a kaleidoscope of colours across the room.
Immediately Uranta Downs of THE WEB OF DESIRE and Archon Xandros of THE SHADOW SYNDICATE,the overall King pin of THE EROS EMPIRE entered the room,all hushed conversations stopped and they all stood up in respect,more like in fear.
"The Eros Empire..." Archon called out walking to the head of the table.
"Deadly Attraction." They all responded.
"Fatal Allure..."
"Kiss of Deception."
"Seduction is our craft..." He called out again.
"Manipulation is our game." They smiled.
"Desire is our currency..." He called out.
"Control is our goal." They all responded before pausing for five seconds,then they all s aid in unison.
"SHADOWS ARE OU DOMAIN." They all shouted before laughing hysterically,Archon sat down first then Uranta before every other person could sit down.
The meeting started immediately,hushed words filled the air,if you are at the door you cannot hear whatever they're saying except you're sitted on the table.
12 AM turned to 1,but they were still talking about God knows what,it wasn't until it was 2 AM before Archon decided to tell them the real purpose for that day's meeting.
Archon looked at all the ladies on the table, having a clear expression on his face. "There's an opportunity for every seductress' club in this fraternity to rank second,just beside me here."
After Archon's words dropped, everyone looked at him with wild eyes,but Uranta's own was the wildest. "What are you talking about?"
"I have the biggest target on my palms and unfortunately,the target is a male." He paused for a while and looked at all of them,their heads are slightly down but he can still see the surprised confused look on their faces. Uranta stared directly at him,she still looked calm but no doubt, she's doubtful.
"He is not an ordinary man and that is why I need the best exec to take him down." He added.
"You know quite well that I have the best exec,Greta is the best presently and Kolly, they're the best in this fraternity." Uranta quickly said before looking at him suspiciously. "You didn't explain how my position is at stake."
"One at a time woman." He growled at her. "When Honeywell was still under your wing,she was the best exec but right now, I'll get to decide who the best exec is."
Honeywell smiled proudly at his words, ohh,she really really miss the fun of being an exec.
"How?" Uranta scoffed. " It's not like you're going to play a game and test all of them?" She hissed.
It's only Uranta that can talk to him like that,asides the fact that they may be fuck mates,Uranta has always been the second - in - command even before Archon took over and Archon cannot dare eliminate her,she has a power of her own.
"I'm gonna do just that,give all your execs same test." His brown eyes glinted sharply.
"And how does this affect my position? I still have many successful takedowns than any fucked soul in this fraternity, including you." She hissed.
"If you think your position won't be affected because your takedowns ranks the highest, then you are nothing but a fool." Archon harshly spoke, Uranta's was almost at the edge of losing her cool but she decided to calm down for now and see how it ends.
"Any club that pass the test will be promoted from whatever ranking you are to the second rankin..." Uranta interrupted him angrily.
"You will do no such thing." She hissed.
"Watch me." He smirked before changing his expression to an unfathomable one. "You said earlier that your club has the best exec isn't it,Greta or whatever, so why are you so worked up?, You don't believe your exec can pass this simple test?"
"You. Wish." She gnashed her teeth,sadly that small sentence word for word.
"Very well then,cause if your exec passes the test then you can maintain your position but if Honeywell's exec can pass the damn test,then from seventh,she comes to second and you go to fourth and Vivian goes to fifth and Lilith goes to seventh,am I clear?" He authoratively and everyone had no other option than to say:
"Yes sir."
Well everyone except furious Uranta. "Whatever you are doing is insane, your new target and stupid damn test isn't suppose to affect my position."
"Oh it is,how can you claim to be the second ranking club if your club can't pass one simple test,the second ranking position is for the best and if you cannot pass this then you are not the best."
He hollered calmly and Uranta could feel her blood rising high,so high that's so scary. "Even if my exec doesn't win this stupid test,I am to be demoted to rank three not...four." She said the word in disgust that Vivian had to roll her eyes in sarcasm.
"Why will I affect the gigolos' club when they're not into this? It's the seductress' clubs that are doing the test not them so they won't be affected." Archon said justificably but Uranta didn't stop she kept arguing with him,she can't just lose her position like that.
Anytime Uranta and Archon argues like that,they spend almost one to two hours waiting in the meeting room,other members can't do anything,they dare not butt in or else it's off with their head and they dare not stand up to leave the meeting else their entire clan will be eliminated.
Everytime Uranta and Archon are into this shit,the remaining sits down still like puppets under the control of their boss but they always have a bad expression on their face, cursing them inwardly but right now,all three women were deeply in thought,what the hell can the test be,can their exec win this test.
Once in a while, their eyes will meet each other and knowing they have the same thoughts running through at the back of their mind,they started panicking,none of them wants to fail the test.
Who'll want to fail anyways?
