The Billion's 2

Chapter 9

THIRD PERSON POV

Clarice was waiting for Timothy to end his practice with the team. She noticed Timothy smiling at her. She put a fake smile and waved. "Ugh.." she sat on the bench and playing a game in her phone.

Minutes later Timothy end the practice and walked towards his girlfriend. "Hey." Timothy greeted her. "Hey." Clarice closes the game and locks her phone. "What is it that's so important that you have to meet me now?"

Timothy asked while wiping the sweats on his body. "I want to break up," Clarice said without even think of the consequences. Timothy looked around and was glad that no one heard what she said. "You dare to say those words to me?"

Clarice kept glaring at him. "Yes. My parents raised me as a strong girl with my own opinion on life and choices. I don't need to listen to what you have to say anymore." Timothy calmed himself down by taking a deep breath.

He let his breath out and face Clarice. "You willing to cause your father's business? You know how powerful my dad is in this town. He can simply wipe your father's business just like that." Clarice stared into his eyes and smirked.

"I would like to see you try Timothy. How about just use your own influence in dealing with this matter. Don't use your excuse of a father for your own gain. We're done, Timothy. We are done."

Clarice turned her heels and leave Timothy baffled to what had just happened. Timothy can't believe a girl just walked out on him! He was being embarrassed in front of all his teammates. "Bitch." He breathes out and reached for his phone.

He dials his father's number and pressed call. "Dad. Do it. I don't care how but DO IT!" Timothy angrily said and end the call. "Soon you will know how high the sky was. You don't know who you just challenge, Clarice."

Meanwhile, Caspian texted his girlfriend and told the news about the breakup. He knows that Pandora has been crushing on Clarice for so long. Caspian kept his phone in his pocket and pack his things before going home.

"GET OUT!" Leo screamed at his man. The man nodded his head and ran out of the room. Blanche and Eliza walked in and smiled at Leo. "What's with the moody mood, Leo," Blanche asked with a slightly amused tone.

Eliza sat on the chair and Blanche went to sit in her thigh. "Iris can't come today. We just came back from LA and we're tired. What's with the urgent calls?" "MY ENTIRE BUSINESS WENT BANKRUPT!" Leo yelled.

Blanche can't believe what she's hearing. "What?!" She abruptly stood up and went to Leo's table and examine every paper and notice he received. "THAT BASTARD JUDGE DESTROYED MY BUSINESS!" "RELAX!" Eliza calmed him down by slapping his face.

Blanche places the paper on the table and turned to Eliza. "Did Pandora mention anything about Clarice and Timothy breaking up?" When Leo heard Timothy's name his anger risen. THAT BASTARD!" "Why?" Blanche turned to Leo.

"Timothy is the son of the supreme judge!" "Supreme judge? You mean Judge Gregory?" Leo looked at Blanche. "You know him?" "Of course I do. He's the one who charges Iris with manslaughter."

Leo looked at Blanche skeptically. "She did but he has no solid proof. Anyway, enough about it. All I want to know is how did he found out about your business. Your business is business too."

Blanche looked at the papers again. "Hmm. 10 million. I lost 10 million. Damn." Eliza's eyes widen. "How about we visit Judge Gregory's place shall we," Blanche suggested and turned her heels towards the door.

"Come with us, Leo." She said before walked out with Eliza. "Call Iris and explained to her about meeting judge Gregory. If she didn't pick up, tell Blondie. I think she's in the room with her when I went out." Eliza nodded and reached for her phone.

Leo jogged towards Blanche's car. "What are you waiting for? Get in." Leo got in and sat next to Eliza. "I didn't get Iris but I already told Blondie." "Good. Tell the driver where we're going next." Blanche nodded and asked the driver to drive.

Gregory was having a nice lunch with his wife when one of his maids told him about his visitors at the front door. "Are they armed?" The maid nodded and walked away. "I'll tend to our guest. You can enjoy the food." His wife nodded and smiled.

Gregory snapped his fingers and two bodyguards escorted him towards his visitors. "Ahhh. Blanche Vera. What a nice surprise." Blanche glared. "Gregory. Nice meeting you again." Gregory smiled and looked at Eliza and Leo.

Gregory then looked outside to a couple more cars waiting. He knows they all are fully armed guards. He knows Blanche will be always this careful when meeting him. He knows her very well. "Come. Let's talk in my office shall we?" Gregory invited.

They passed Series of doors before Gregory stopped in front of a huge double door. When Gregory's bodyguard pushed the door, it groaned and made the creepiest sound ever. "I really have to get that fix." He chuckled and offered his guest a seat.

He nodded at his bodyguard to closed the door and just like that his expression changed from calm to rage. "What are you thinking to march down my estate as if it's a public place?!" He spat. "It's nice to see your real side."

Blanche sat on the couch and placed her legs on the table. Eliza was on standby. She knows how Gregory will kill people who challenge him. Leo just stood there, don't know either to say or do anything.

"You're playing with fire, Blanche." Gregory lowly said. "No Gregory. You are. I'm not afraid of you and your laws. I have my own laws you have to abide." Gregory scoffed. "I don't listen to strippers and gang leaders."

Blanche chuckled. "Oh, you will listen to what I have to say, judge Baron." Eliza handed an envelope to Gregory and smiled. Gregory opened it and his anger risen. "Where did you get this!" He spat.

The container of the envelope was revealed and its series pictures and a lot of them between the judge and all kinds of a woman going in and out of clubs and the hotel all over the world. Blanche gave the judge a sly smiled.

"I have eyes everywhere judge Baron. But still, you have to do all the decision according to what you think is right. You made me lost 10 million dollars, sir. You have to pay me back or my wife will end your life and everyone around you. Understand?"

Gregory threw the pictures at Blanche's face and leaned into her. "I am not scared of you, little b***h! I'll make sure you and your wife will live and die in jail!" Blanche laughed. "Is that a challenge?" Blanche stopped Eliza from saying anything.

"If so I will take it with open arms. Remember, you're fire. But I'm the f*****g blaze." Blanche gave him a smile. Gregory reached for his gun and aimed it at Blanche's forehead. Eliza instantly pulled out hers and aimed it at him.

Blanche pushed her head against the gun's tip and smiled. "Shoot me. I know you want to. Pull the damn trigger and observe how my head exploded in front of you." Blanche provoked him. Gregory was ready to shoot her when Blanche laughed.

"Once you pull that trigger my dear, Iris will search for you and no power can stop her from killing you. Even if you seek protection from the police, she will find a way to make your life a living hell without the need to die."

Gregory removed his gun and sighed. He knows she's right. Even if she has all the power in the world to protect himself, he can't escape from Iris's wrath. Blanche smiled and asked Eliza to kept her gun.

"Till we meet again. And do let Leo doing his business. If he's gone, you will be too." Blanche said and walked out of the room. He smiled at Gregory's wife and went to her car followed by Eliza and Leo.

Once they all inside, Leo looked at Blanche. He doesn't know what to say or do. All he knows was that she's not afraid of anything. He just threatened a judge and she's acting like it's a normal routine for her.

"Once he clears up the charges, you can continue your business again. But remember, our share or I'll blow your head off." Leo nodded.

Iris was sleeping when Pandora knocked on her mother's door. Blondie, when to, opened it and smiled when she saw its Pandora. "Yes?" "Who's around?" "Your mom is sleeping and Blanche just went out. Something's wrong?"

"Well. Kinda." Pandora said nervously. Blondie smiled and walked out of the room and closed the door. "What is it?" Pandora smiled. She began to explain to Blondie about her encounter with Timothy.

He's even worse after breaking up with Clarice. "We were just having lunch together with Grace and Caspian when he just attack us and blames me for the breakup."

"Why didn't you tell me and Eliza about this at school? We could whoop his ass off." Blondie shakes her head. "Next time, do tell us. Okay? And don't worry. I'll tell your mom about this when she wakes up." Pandora thanked her and excuse herself.

Blondie waited for Pandora to disappeared by the corner before came back in the room, where Iris was fully awake by now. "Where's Blanche and Eliza?" Was Iris first question when Blondie sat next to her.

"Leo called and they went to meet him. But a few hours ago Eliza called and mention about meeting Judge Baron." "Meeting Gregory? Why?" Blondie shrugged. "Call them. Ask them to come home now." "They're on their way home."

Iris nodded and got up to a sitting position. "Ready for tonight?" Iris suddenly asked. "Always and forever." Blondie chuckled when Iris looked at her. "I hope it works. If not m, I'll kill Madame for it." Blondie chuckled.

"Iris.." Blondie lay her head on Iris's thigh and caressed her cheeks. "We will be okay. Just promise you won't let anyone buy us off." Iris looked down and smiled.

"There's no amount of money in the world worth for all of you. For me, you, Eliza and Blanche are priceless." Blondie's heart melted from hearing those words. Blondie can't help but fall harder for Iris.

"Well don't have all the fun all by yourself." A familiar voice startled both of them. Iris looked up to see her wife standing by the door, tapping one of her foot on the floor while crossing her hands.

"Where were you?" Blanche smiled at her wife's question. "Having some fun with Gregory. Anyway, I'm getting ready for tonight. Eliza, come." Iris watched as they walked inside the bathroom together.

(A FEW HOURS LATER)

"Are you sure this outfit will make them drool over me, Iris?" Blanche asked as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh trust me, it will. I'm drooling myself." Iris said while licked her own lips watching her wife getting dress.

"Naughty." Blanche teased and blew her wife a kiss. Eliza and Blondie went out of the closet and they too wearing something that looks like what Blanche was wearing. Two pieces of revealing clothing that only covers their breast and private parts.

Iris watched as they put on their make up and put on her own clothes. She grabbed a coat and placed it on her shoulder. She went to sit on the bed and watched her girls put on a stud Christian Louboutin platforms heels as their finishing touches.

"Jesus.." Iris breath out and they all laughed at her. "You guys will have to entertain me the whole night after this forsaken mission," Iris said as she grabbed her keys and custom made guns.

"Oh, we will." They said in unison. Iris chuckled and walked out followed by her girls. They reached for the long coat from the maids and wore them while walking down the stairs. "Pandora.," Iris called out.

Pandora sticks her head up and smiled at her mother's. "We're going out. Don't go anywhere." Pandora smiled. "I'm not. Grace will come here in a minute." Iris nodded and walked out.

Blanche went to kissed Pandora's head and went to her wife who's waiting by the car outside. "You know we need to work on your affection part. You should kiss your daughter before going to work."

Iris ignored her wife and went to the driver seat. The girls went inside and Iris started to drive. Deep down, Iris know, this will be a hell lot of worst.

***

Clarice and one of her friends went to the mall to celebrate her freedom from Timothy. As she was having fun, her friend told her she saw Timothy not far from them, with another girl they never knew or seen before. Clarice was actually glad he's moving on.

Because she does. Clarice ignores him and continued to have fun with her friend. After hours of spending thousands of dollars pampering themselves, they decided to come home.

They asked the store to send the stuff to their house. "Clarice. We spent like.. thousand on things we don't even use twice." They chuckled. "Hey, that's normal. I'm so glad I'm not under his orders anymore. the band we could donate them if we bored with it."

They were talking animatedly while walking towards the car when a car revved up its engine and started accelerating towards Clarice and her friend. Clarice noticed the car coming towards her and pushed her friend away from being hit.

The car didn't stop, it just ran to Clarice and went away. Her friend just witnesses her being hit and rolled up to the car's roof and hit the ground hard.

Everyone around them gathered around and called the ambulance for her. Her friend froze, don't know what to do anymore. When she saw how bad Clarice was, she grabbed her body and waited for help.

She cried when Clarice cough out some blood out. "No no no! Don't close that damn eyes! Clarice!" Her friend begged. Minutes later, the ambulance came.

"NO! CLARICE!" Her friend screamed before Clarice closed her eyes.

Pandora was munching down the freshly baked cookies when a rapid knocked disturbed her supper. She knows that it's Grace because she's the only person who would do that. She went to the door while holding a glass of milk and opened the door.

Grace looked like she's seeing a ghost. Pandora looked at her weirdly. "Why are you so pale?" Pandora asked while drinking her milk. "Where's your f*****g phone?" "I was charging it. Come in." Pandora opened the door to let her friend in.

"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! FOLLOW ME TO THE HOSPITAL!" Grace pulled her friend out, making the glass filled with milk fell down on the floor. "Grace! What's going on!" Pandora asked her friend.

"CLARICE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND SHES IN THE HOSPITAL, FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE." Pandora froze. She doesn't know how to react to the news she just heard. "Wait." Was all Pandora said before going into the house.

She came back out with her car keys and went to the garage. "Noah.. follow me." Noah abruptly stands and went to Pandora's car. "Where are we going, miss?" "Hospital. Please call my mother. She needs to know where I'm going."

"Yes, miss." Grace was having a hard time keeping her eyes open while Pandora driving anxiously to the hospital. "The hospital will be there even if we're late Pandora." "Yes, miss I agree with that." Noah supported.

"Clarice is hurt. All I'm thinking now is to meet her. Hold still." Pandora said and before accelerating when the traffic turns green. "Jesus please help me in my dying times. All I wanted is to marry my boyfriend and have lots of kids together!"

"Grace I don't want to hear your wish right now!" "Well, I should tell you before I die!!!" Grace yelled when Pandora carelessly turned the car to the hospital junction.

"Oh god please spare my life!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!" Pandora shakes her head and parks her car near the hospital entrance. Grace got out of the car and kneel on the grass.

"I LIVE!! THANK YOU, GOD!!" Pandora ignores her friend and went into the hospital. "Drama queen.”
