The Toxic Deal

BLUNDER-2

CAMERON

Shit!

I grunted and woke up startled. I was late by an hour. I missed my morning run. I was exhausted from yesterday. My neck was coloured in red and purple marks and was paining. Dealing with that fire of a girl was a tough task for even a mafia man like me.

Wait! Why the heck I am thinking about that brat in the early morning. Now my whole day would get spoiled.

I rubbed my eyes to clear my half asleep brain and unlocked my phone to check for any calls or messages. That's how it has always been. Unlike a normal man my days starts with a news of the details of shipments, deals, money, troubles, authorities and sometimes riots. Perks of being the best man of the world's mafia leader.

I was scrolling through my emails when a loud crash echoed from outside. As an instinct, I pulled out my g*n from under the pillow and tossed the phone aside on the bed. The first crash was followed by a loud thud that made me run out of my bedroom door without wasting a minute.

How the hell can someone brake into the house?!, I thought to myself.

I was on the second floor while the sound was coming from the first floor. I ran towards its source with g*n pointing ahead of me, ready to shoot if needed and my body on alert for any sign of danger. How come security alarms didn't inform of any intruder?

I reached on the first floor and saw tensed Gabriel staring apprehensively at the door of one of the many rooms in the hallway. I approached him but winced when another loud crash hit my ears. Where the hell was King? I hope he was not around and out for a run or something because King hates noise.

Gabriel caught my eye as other men flooded from the stairs, ready with their weapons.

"it's her" Gabriel whispered motioning at the door with distaste.

I sighed and signalled the men to return to their respective positions. We could handle the b***h but, I was not in a mood to deal with angry King at this early in the morning.

I turned my attention again to the door to cautiously open the lock. I slowly opened the door with Gabriel tensed behind me.

As soon as the door opened more than five inches, it flung open further and, I got hit with something heavy. I lost my balance, my g*n slipped from my hand and, I fell backwards taking Gabriel down with me. Before I could focus my vision, I felt a heavy weight on my stomach, knocking out all the air inside of my body, followed by on my chest.

I groaned in pain while Gabriel coughed with ragged breathing..... below me.

I rolled over and stood up holding my stomach, helping Gabriel to stand up. His face was red and moisture was gathered at corners of his eyes. I was about to shout the curses when my eyes took in the condition of the room.

Once the neat and clean room was now messed, literally. There was not even a single item which was not broken into shreds. I entered the room to watch the broken bathroom door. Wardrobe, chairs, decorative pieces, frames everything was broken and destroyed....even the toilet seat. What the f**k happened here?

My eyes widened when I realised that the b***h was not in the room. And then it hit me. The heavyweight I felt on my stomach and chest was nothing but that b***h running over me. My anger shot through the roof and I ran downstairs with full speed.

I halted when I came near the kitchen. I heard shuffling sound coming from it so, I peeked inside, Gabriel was hot on my tail. There was she... searching through the refrigerator, Her back was facing us. She straightened up and grabbed as much food as her small hands could. She closed the door of the refrigerator loudly behind her with her left foot.

She dropped everything on the breakfast table and slide on one of the chairs without even acknowledging us. Her eyes were shining exactly as they show in the cartoon shows, big white stars popping out of large eye balls. She was drooling at the sight of all the food which was equal to breakfast of me, Gabriel and Kyle together.

"I doubt she could finish even half of it" Gabriel shared my thoughts.

I snapped out of it and anger bubbled inside me again. I marched in front of her and stood there crossing my hands over my chest.

"what the actual f**k?" I growled at her but that brat kept stuffing her face with all the food like a hungry pig. She didn't show any sign that she was listening to me which further fuelled my anger. King put the responsibility to handle her on me. If she kept acting like this then it would mean that I failed in fulfilling King's orders. And if that happened then I would be six feet under the ground for sure. King would not give a second thought or think about the years we have spent together before slashing my throat.

I should control the situation before King comes to know about this.

No one and I mean no one has ever humiliated me in my life like her. She needs to know her place and I will make sure to help her in it very well.

I slammed my fist on the breakfast table and raised my voice "what you did to your room, you b***h? You destroyed it all. Do you even realise that you are in deep s**t? When King will know-"

"I already know." Came the strong, thundering voice that made my body tensed.

Uh oh!
