She changed her clothes and went straight to Ariel's apartment. She barged in without knocking, Ariel was busy doing her exercises.
" The latest millionaire is finally here," she said happily.
" He died," Brittany said, she was looking miserable and guilty already. " Who died?" Ariel asked.
" The man who Klaus told me to seduce, he died just yesterday. Ariel, am I a murderer now?" Brittany started crying.
" Of course not," Ariel quickly went to hug her. " He died because of me," Brittany sobbed.
" That's not true, " Ariel patted her gently.
" Then why do I feel so guilty?" Brittany cried more. " I need to leave the country, they may track me down if I stay here".
" Brittany, is that really necessary?" Ariel asked. " Yes, please help me Ariel "
" Okay, Alright, " Ariel said.
Ariel accompanied Brittany to buy the ticket and thanks to the money Klaus gave her, she did everything with ease. Ariel accompanied her to the airport where she would board a plane to Italy.
When it was time for Brittany to go, Ariel hugged her tightly. Both girls were crying already, Ariel broke the hug and wiped her tears.
" You should go now," Ariel said with a sad smile. Brittany nodded and hugged her one last time before she finally left.
Reign Mansion
Hell broke loose already, Zach had personally shot all Charleston's guards already for being incompetent. He reeks of pure anger and danger.
Zach was sitting on the couch with a stick of tobacco in his mouth, he was smoking like a devil. All the maids and servants in the Reign mansion had fled for their dear lives.
" The bodies of the 50 guards you killed has been disposed, it will take some damn hard work to cover the fuckin traces Zach" Zayn said.
" You're emphasizing on the 'fifty' like it's some big number" Zach scoffed. " I'm barely satisfied yet, I want to kill more people '' Zach said. Zayn could sense how angry he was, any sensible person would run far away from him.
" Godzilla is on his way here," Zayn said.
The frown on Zach's face deepened, he got up from the couch and walked up to Zayn. " Who on earth told the old man about this?" he asked with obvious fury.
" I did" Zayn said without batting an eye.
Zach c****d his gun and pointed it at Zayn's forehead.
Zayn chuckled, " Do it then" he looked Zach directly in the eye. Zach scoffed and lowered his gun before tossing it to the chair.
" Instead of killing innocent people, we should find out what happened to Charleston, the autopsy results will be out soon so we can start from there" Zayn said.
Zayn was anything but a coward, that was probably why they were friends for so long. " Do whatever" Zach said, he grabbed his jacket and went up the stairs.
Zayn sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
"What does Dynasty X have to do with Charleston's death?" Zayn muttered.
It was exactly 8am when Godzilla's private jet landed in the Reign's Mansion. He came out first with his 5 bodyguards all dressed in black suits. His white hair was dyed black and he wore a leather coat and a black booth.
He was looking so expressionless as he walked to the house. Zayn bowed deeply on seeing him.
" Miles" he paused, he removed the black shades he was wearing. "Where's that spoiled brat?" Godzilla asked.
"He has been in his study all through the night" Zayn said.
Godzilla motioned for his bodyguards to follow him and they headed for the study. The bodyguards were instructed to remain outside while Godzilla proceeded to the study.
He entered and met Zach sipping alcohol lifelessly. " Zach" he called and Zach scoffed.
" Why are you here?" He rolled his eyes. "When Charleston was still alive you didn't bother to visit" Zach said angrily.
" You aren't a saint yourself. When Charleston was alive, I used to force you to go out with him because you always chose work over him. Maybe if you had agreed to go out with him, he would have been alive and healthy " Godzilla yelled.
"I know! I know it's my fault and the guilt is killing me" Zach yelled, tears spilled out of his eyes. "Listen boy, I ain't telling you all this for you to shed some damn tears, we have to go find who did this to Charleston and make them pay hard. And don't ever forget that Mafias don't cry" Godzilla said and left him there.
Zach immediately wiped the tears that were on his face, his fist folded tightly, and his veins bulged. Whoever did this to Charleston would pay for sure.
Verona, Italy…..
"Noooo!" Brittany screamed and immediately woke up, she had been asleep for the past four hours.
She had a horrible nightmare, she was strip dancing for Charleston in the same room 35 then all of a sudden, a bloody knife appeared in her hands. She looked up and saw Charleston in a bloody mess.
The guilt is killing and the nightmares are intensifying everything, she didn't kill him so what was happening now?
She quickly got down from the bed and hurriedly had her bath. She was currently working as a waitress in a cafe so she had her breakfast and hurried there.
Gustoso cafe
Brittany's apron was tied to her waist as she cleaned the tables.
" Have you heard what happened to Charleston Reign?" She overheard two of the customers discussing.
" Of course, he died mysteriously," the other said.
" I think he was murdered and I'm sure whoever is responsible for his death will pay dearly". Brittany gulped in fear, how on earth was he still popular here? Will she have to run to Mars before she can be free of all this?
" Hey you " the customers who were gossiping about Charleston called for her.
She quickly ran to where they were to take their order. Afterwards, she went to carry their food on a tray but she was absent minded . She slipped and fell, her face falling right in the coffee .
" What kind of useless waitress is this?" The customers complained. " This is why I hate blacks, let's leave" They both got up and left.
Brittany got up, feeling so humiliated,
her life was a total mess. Since her shift was over, she pulled her apron and left the restaurant.
On reaching her one room apartment, she picked her phone and decided to call Ariel, she picked on the first ring.
"Brittany!" Ariel squealed happily like she's seeing her in real life. "Ariel, how are you?" Brittany asked while smiling wildly .
" Forget about me first Brittany, how are things going in Italy?" . " Everything is fine , don't worry about me," Brittany said.
" Tell that to my dead grandmother," Ariel scoffed. " I know you too well, even if things are going upside down, you won't say a thing" Ariel hissed .
" Ariel, I'm okay for real. Tell me about yourself, did Mr Bricks question you?"
" Of course, he just asked about your whereabouts and I denied knowing anything about it, it was easy," Ariel giggled.
" Thanks babe, I don't know what I'll do without you" Brittany said, Ariel was like her guardian angel, they always had each other's backs.
" Stop thanking me, I'm your friend so it's my job" Ariel said, " I have to go now, I've got one more dance to do before I'm allowed to go home " Ariel said.
" Bye baby " Brittany said before hanging up .
" She couldn't even allow me to say goodbye too" Ariel pouted, she turned and saw Mr Bricks standing at the door that was now left open. She started shaking fearfully and her phone almost fell to the ground .
Zach, Zayn and Godzilla were at Zillah Hospital, owned by Godzilla himself, they were waiting patiently for Charleston's autopsy results.
The doctor came out shakingly, he was the same doctor who told Zach about Charleston's death. He was still scared of Zach, he had always been.
" Arsenal, what does the result say?" Godzilla demanded. " He..he died of poison?" Doctor Arsenal said.
" Poison?" Zach asked in a dangerous voice."
" Has your brain aged with time?" Godzilla asked. " No one would dare poison a Reign," Godzilla said.
" Godzilla, I think we should let doctor ….. whatever , explain what he's trying to say. I myself also think Charleston was poisoned " Zayn voiced out his opinion, He had seen Charleston's condition and he's sure it's definitely poison.
" Whatever.. speak Arsenal!" Godzilla yelled.
" Sir, the autopsy result confirmed that he was actually poisoned with Strychnine poison, no one has ever survived it" , Arsenal said.
" Dynasty X? Strychnine poison? What's connecting these two?" Zayn asked.
" We're heading to Dynasty X to get more answers," Zach said with a stoic expression on his face.
" I need to head over to the company to sort out a lot of things, things have been a mess since Charleston passed away," Godzilla said.
Zach walked away without saying a thing and Zayn followed suit. They both got into Zach's BMW when they arrived at the parking lot.
" Bro , you okay?" Zayn asked.
" I'll be fine once I make the culprit go through hell" Zach said and started the car, he drove with full speed, heading straight for Dynasty X.
