Andre
“What are you doing here,Jasper??”
“What is the meaning of what you are saying? I shouted.
“Boss, I don't know what happened. Some of them just started dropping dead before we got to Lake Verdon.
“It's the potion, Boss. They are all reacting to it,” He explained.
“Is that the goddamn excuse you have to give me? That's money in the drain, Jasper!!!”
“Does Panda knows this already?”
“Uhm, yes, boss.”
“Geez!!”
That is trouble. Before I could anything, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
It was Panda.
“Hello, Father?” I answered the call.
“Come here right away,” He commanded over the call.
Panda wasn't one to get angry. It's like facing the wrath of the gods.
“You can go, Jasper. I will deal with you later.”
“Felix, drive me to The Venom dynasty; that was the name we gave Panda's residence.
That was where we hold all of our Mafia meetings and carry out our operation plans.
It was kinda safer in Panda's residence as no dares approach such location unless you are a Mafia.
“Boss, what about her?” Felix asked, pointing upstairs.
“Quiet. Look, no one….I repeat no one should know she stays in this house. Its just you, I and maid Korra that knows about her and that is all it should be.”
“I don't want to hear you spill that information to anyone!” I warned.
“Alright, Boss.”
“Wait for me in the car. I am coming,” I added.
Having said that, I rushed to meet Rosaline in the room where I met her in intense tears.
“What's all this?” I lashed at her.
“Nothing, nothing, sir..” she answered, wiping her tears off.
“Hey, look here… You address me as ‘my Lord’ That is what I am to you,” He said.
“Please, I want to go home. I don't want to be here,” she uttered.
What an ungrateful b***h!!
“How dare you?!”
“Do you know the other girls you came with are dead?”
“I saved you from a life of torment. You do not mean a thing to me.”
“So whether you like it or not, I can do whatever else I wish with you.”
“I am leaving now and I need you to stay indoors. If you need anything, Korra will be around to serve you your food and Felix also will just be right outside,”
“Do not make any funny move whole I am gone, Rosaline,” I warned and took my leave.
Rosaline
I now live as a prisoner.
Bound by the walls of what I can’t deny is a beautiful house, well furnished and rich.
Even though I was limited in movement, I was provided with everything I wanted.
My meal was prepared for me and I could order for whatever I drink I wanted and it would be made excellently wife.
“Being the Lord's girl,” I scoffed. Like that was entirely something I should delight in.
“Ma'am, do you need anything?” The voice of Korra distracted me from my train of thoughts.
“I just want to leave here,” I said as a tear dropped from my eye.
“Come here,” Korra gave me a hug.
“You can't do anything, Ma'am. Do you know who he is?”
“There is no escaping here,” she warned.
“Do you know him that well?” I asked.
“Oh yes. My family's safety and security lies in his hands. That is why I am here.”
Andre Royce, the godson of the most powerful Mafia drugLord in the city, Panda. He is most feared and a ruthless being.”
“Nobody messes with him and go scot free so you need to be careful,” she explained.
“But one thing you will enjoy about him is his enormous wealth and power. He has a lot of men under him and even the authorities submit to him,” she added.
“You just have to comport yourself and do all he says “ She said, patting my shoulders.
“But I can't do what he is asking for, I…..I just want to leave here…” I stuttered.
“Shhhh…wipe those tears. You are now part of the Black Shark Family. You have to do what he says. You are now his,” she said.
“Black Shark?”
“Oh yeah. Black Shark. That's the name they call themselves,” she explained.
We suddenly heard footsteps like someone coming up the stairs.
“I have to go now,” she said in a haste and left the room hurriedly.
I adjusted my clothes and sat upright as the footsteps got louder and nearer.
“That has to be Andre,” I said to myself.
Then a knock rented on the door. That was quite surprising. Andre never knocks on the door. Who could that be? Or did Korra come back?
“Korra, is that you?” I said in a soft tone.
But there was no response instead the knocks kept coming at the door.
“Who is there?” I asked.
“It's Felix,” the voice answered.
Felix? That has to be Andre's driver. How come he is here?
I went ahead and opened the door slightly as I peeped to see if it was really him.
“Uhmmmmm,” I muttered.
I was really surprised to see him. “Your boss isn't here. He left in a hurry,” I spoke slowly.
I noticed how he looks at me.
“Your boss left already,” I repeated but he kept staring like je was waiting for something.
“You look beautiful,” He commented.
“Thank you,” I responded.
“Like really beautiful,” He said again.
“Boss really knows what he is doing when he separated you from those hoes.”
“He must intend to marry you as his wife,” He concluded.
Wife?
Over my dead body!!
Is this driver guy playing with me or what?
I can't imagine myself being married to Andre. My future is sealed then the moment that happens.
Felix's eyes scanned my body and I felt irritated and uncomfortable. “You should come out of the room,” He said, trying to touch my cheeks.
“Please stop it,” I said immediately, taking his hands off before they could touch me.
He frowned and placed into his hands into pocket and before I knew what was happening, he brought out a sharp edged dagger.
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the weapon
“Please, don't!!!” I screamed.
