Toxic Attraction

Chapter 8

THE DRESS UNTIL ABOVE knee-length, looking both formal and mesmerizing effortlessly. The music stopped and all the guys whistled at her, Ivory lifted his head from where he was sitting to witness what was going on and behold, he set his eyes on Alicia. Out of mixed feelings of joy and disbelief, he shouted “Windflower” he stood up walking slowly like a zombie towards her. She was strikingly beautiful and attractive, Ivory couldn’t resist it, eventually he was struck by a sudden, brief loss of consciousness and posture caused by decreased blood flow to the brain, and he fainted before he could reach her.

People around laughed pouring beer on him while lying down until he regained his conscious. The music resumed and suddenly there was chaos in the beer Parlor, the boys competing who should sit and buy Alicia something to drink. However Alicia went on to join her friends after some weeks of not spending time together with Veronica, madam no age restrictions and Mercy. Ivory didn’t stand a chance and was less of a competition to all the guys who made moves on Alicia. Alicia and her friends went outside since the noise level inside was too much that they couldn’t hear each other when talking.

One guy who was stalking Alicia ever since she came in, followed them and seized the opportunity to have word with her. Another guy too went outside and he found the guy speaking to Alicia, he joined in starting a conversation with her and that got the the other guy annoyed. He asked “dude, can’t you see that I’m talking to her what are you doing?” they started quarreling and the guy who came before the other took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed him, the guy fell on the ground, Alicia and her friends screamed and suddenly the place was crowded with people.

The guy was on the ground bleeding, an ambulance was arranged for him and was taken to hospital. An arrest by police was also made following an investigation that was conducted; Alicia’s friends were also witnesses of what really happened. Minutes later, the victim was confirmed dead due to hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhagic shock is a life-threatening condition. It occurs when your body loses a lot of blood quickly. He experienced severe symptoms as blood loss increased; his skin became pale and cold with rapid heart rate. His pulse weakened with rapid, shallow breathing until he seized breathing at all.

IN THE MEANTIME, THE beer Parlor closed after the incident and everyone went separate ways to where they came from. However, Ivory tailed Alicia and her friends to see where exactly she was residing. Alicia and her friends strode until they reached a beautiful home with medium tall stunning concrete wall, inside you could witness a striking shade covering a welcoming front door, manicured emerald-green boxwoods, and a charming front porch surrounded by flowering shrubs or fragrant flowering vines. At the entrance of the home, they stopped having a little conversation before Alicia entered inside.

They didn't notice that someone was tailing them, after seeing Alicia's home, Ivory returned back. Hunting Alicia became his daily routine, he deserted his girlfriend named Tricia and eight years old beautiful daughter named Angela, he hardly spent time with them and each time they dialed his line, he would just ignore it.

Tricia was just a simple dark beauty with a small dimple on her left cheek; she had a beautiful smile, slim body and a polite voice. Ever smiling so they say. They were a great couple before Ivory was consumed by Alicia's beauty.
