MAKING HIM MINE

Let him pay

Chapter 3

Victoria now Lana left her room and met with a beautiful mansion, with pretty paintings everywhere, the walls where painted white with rooms every where as much as she wanted to explore she had other plans , she went down the stairs and was met by a grand living room and dining area, the dinning table was big enough for twenty people and it just struck her and she wondered "How rich might I be now" as she thought of her wealth she concluded that she didn't care, because she didn't know how long she was going to live as Lana, she was going to spend all her money like it was her last. As she thought of all the things she would buy a smile creeped it's way onto her face.

When she turned towards the living room she saw a lady who looked young and beautiful she was in a white shirt and fitting black skirt, holding some files in her hand like they were babies.

"Good Morning Miss Smith"she said with a smile plastered on her face and Victoria could tell it was fake.

"And who might you be"Victoria said looking her straight in the face.

Her smile immediately dropped and she said in a surprised tone, "Melaine, your secretary, Miss is everything alright, I've been working for you for two years now and you don't remember me, should I book an appointment with the doctor".

"No, do I look retarded" Victoria snapped at her.

"Well No but.....

"Good"Victoria cut her off before she could finish.

"So where's my car, I need to go out" Victoria continued.

"It's outside I....., Victoria started walking to the door ignoring Melaine.

When she got to the huge double door she held both handles with her hands and opened it , she was met with a beautiful compound green grass over it, a garden in a secluded area with a pool with water fountains.

Her eyes fell on her supposed car and a group of men, probably her bodyguards standing right next to the car, it was one of the luxury black cars rich people used but it wasn't what she wanted to ride, let alone with bodyguards, she quickly turned to Melaine, "Where's the garage?

"There" Melaine pointed to an unknown destination and Victoria gave her a " there where" look and she quickly started leading the way to the garage.

They got to the garage and entered Victoria couldn't believe her eyes, cars of every brand and model was there, there were over fifty cars there, Victoria scanned the cars until she saw the perfect car, a royal blue sports car. It had an open top and beautiful black leather seats, Victoria touched the car and she knew it was what she wanted, "keys" she yelled with a mischievous grin on her face and a man who seemed to be the caretaker handed her the keys and she opened it and sat in it and it felt just right.

"You coming or what" she called out to Melaine.

With that she started the engine, Melaine still in shock got in the car and Victoria drove off.

After driving in silence for a while Melaine broke the silence "Miss Smith, this is not the way to the office".

"And who said anything about going to the office "Victoria replied without looking at her.

"But Miss Smith.....

"Why do you keep calling me Miss Smith, aren't you aware that I'm married, the name is Misses Preston, understood". Victoria clarified, she wasn't going to take her position as Derrick's wife easily.

"But Miss you hate it when I call you that and....

"Well now I don't" Victoria snapped "And stop calling me Miss okay, we are practically the same age, call me Lana"

"Misses Preston, I can't do that "Melaine said with disbelief in her eyes, she had known Lana for a while now and she had always been cold towards her and now out of the blue she allowed her to sit in the same car with her and is also asking her to call her by her first name, this couldn't be her boss, but just when she thought Misses Preston couldn't surprise her more she said

"Mel it's either you stop calling me formally or you're fired" now Melaine was stunned and she didn't utter another word until Victoria stopped the car , she stopped the car on a road.

A group of people had gathered in front of an alley and Victoria got out of the car and walked to the scene, she passed through the crowd and got to the crime scene, it was the same place she had been murdered the night before, she had to close that chapter of her life if she wanted a new life.

"Miss is everything okay, do you need anything" Melaine asked in barely a whisper.

She was still trying to understand why Lana would come to the crime scene of someone she didn't even know.

"Get me the one in charge of this crime scene investigation " Victoria said without looking away.

A few minutes later Melaine came back with a man "Miss Preston, it's an honor that someone like you is interested in a case like this, I.....

"Have you caught the culprit" Victoria was uninterested in any formalities.

"Yes, Gregg Braden, he's a drug addict and he attacked her to get some money for drugs but there have been multiple attempts so it was easy to nail him down "

"Where is he now" Victoria enquired.

"Police station "

"Let's go Mel" Victoria didn't need a minute to think things through she had to make sure they had the right guy.

When they got to the station, Victoria asked to see the man alone.

When she got the cell, it was indeed him, she stood there and stared at him, she didn't know how to feel towards him, but one thing she knew was that he had to pay for what he did to her.
