Secret and Scandal

The night was alive with sounds of moans and loud music in the lavish mansion situated at Scot street on Robinson Island, as Alexia twisted and turned beneath her lover, Jimmy. Her blue eyes yearned for more action as Jimmy did just well to douse her burning desire, thrusting himself into her beautiful, curvy world while wrapping her legs around his body as he rode her to another pleasure island. Their bodies entwined as the duo were lost in intensity of the moment. As they climaxed, a sudden piercing sound cut through the charged atmosphere. Alexia’s ride came to a halt as she was soon bathed with splatters of blood all over. Spontaneously, she snapped her eyes open, and she jolted from love island and back to reality only to discover Jimmy’s face had crumpled in agony and his eyeballs widened than normal. A dagger had been cruelly lodged deep through Jimmy’s back in a sudden twist of fate. “wh... who?” Jimmy struggled for words in a faded tone making attempt to turn his head back to squint at the intruder in the dark room, but his attempt at catching a glimpse was instantly met with a huge bang to his head, sending life completely out of him. Terrified, Alexia realizing that Jimmy was still locked in her, nudged his lifeless body aside in utter fear. She sat up hurriedly in bed scanning across the dark room for the intruder but could not lay eyes on a single figure. She listened out for subtle movement across the room, but the loud music muffled out such possibility. Her heart raced faster than usual as she laid low in bed for a while, not daring to make a move for fear of her own life, too. She was drenched in sweat and frozen to a spot. For a moment, she realized that she was stark naked, and the intruder was probably lurking around to gaze at her. She instantly felt vulnerable. Ashamedly, she fumbled across the bed for the fluffy white towel she had earlier wrapped around her breasts before Jimmy unwrapped it to shake her world. Alas, the towel was now soaked in blood, but she had no choice now as she hurriedly draped the towel across her body. “Wh..who the f**k is that?” Alexia managed to blurt out, trembling and expecting a response. But her question was met with silence. She was not sure if the intruder was close by, but one thing she was certain about was that the intruder was still somewhere within the mansion. In a moment of courage, she scrambled off the bed, horrified, and staggered backwards, but she maintained footing and ran a short distance along the wall, pinning the towel on her sweaty cleavage with one hand to drape down the frontal of her body. She fumbled her fingers across the wall for the switch and pressed the light on. This time, she maintained the same spot as she flung her gaze across the room, but just close by was a masculine figure completely dressed in black hood standing across the bed. In his clutch was a short dagger from which blood was dripping profusely. At the sight of this, Alexia could not help than to let out a sharp scream amidst the loud music. She could not contain her horror at Jimmy’s lifeless body, the utter mess on the bed, and the figure standing as though he was about to wreak more havoc. “Shut the f**k up, you Judas!” The figure hurriedly sprinted across the room unveiling his hood with one hand while lunging at Alexia with another hand that held the dagger. He hurriedly landed a slap on Alexia to send her crashing on the floor. Much to Alexia’s shock, she instantly realized that it was Robert, her boyfriend and Jimmy’s business partner. He stood over her and she writhed in pain from the impact of the slap. His eyes were cold and calculating. “Rob?” She whispered in a wave of shock mixed with guilt, trembling. “What have you done?” “You, what have you done?” Robert snapped back seething with rage. “You thought you could leave me for him? You thought you could betray me after all I have done to cover your s**t?” “I did this for us, Rob,” she said, attempting to make Robert come to terms. “Lies!” Robert snapped, “Tell that f*****g lie to yourself. I have stalked you and that son of a b***h for months now.” Meanwhile, Robert Langley, beneath his legitimate international cargo business partnership with Jimmy Blackwood, was operating a drug cartel nobody knew about except Jimmy. Often, he would use the cargo business to launder millions through offshore accounts. Jimmy, on the other hand, was not interested in his drug business despite Robert attempting to lure him into his classified ring on several occasions. Having known his friend’s secret involvement in a classified drug cartel, Jimmy would leverage on Robert’s secret to embezzle millions from the Cargo business. His constant embezzlement was threatening to send the Cargo business to oblivion. But Robert was not ready to draw the curtains on this business just yet as it was his only way to stay clean and legitimate. To salvage the cargo business, Robert had proposed buying Jimmy out of the business by attempting to buy his shares and paying him off with sufficient millions of Dollars. But Jimmy declined all offers as he considered Robert’s move an utter disrespect to his efforts in building the cargo business together with him from scratch. For Jimmy’s refusal, Robert planned to frame him in an embezzlement crime, allowing him to maintain total control of the Cargo business. However, Jimmy discovered Robert’s scheme and began to blackmail him for the drug business. He threatened to expose his drug business to the authority should Robert attempt to frame him up or report him. In a way, Jimmy had all the cards as he grew in power and influence in their cargo business partnership. He had Robert’s secrets, and he could blackmail him all he wanted. Jimmy was fast becoming a god and was untouchable. However, the last straw that broke the camel’s back was Jimmy’s secret involvement with Robert’s girlfriend, Alexia, lately. Robert had stalked the duo for several months and he wondered what song Jimmy had been secretly singing in his girlfriend’s ears. He feared that Jimmy was already stretching his blackmail to his girlfriend and most likely spilling his secret drug business to her. Until this night, he was bothered about what the duo might be up to. Alexia, beginning to tear up while still cowering on the floor in pain as Robert continued to brandish his blood-coated dagger, said, “Rob, I know things, and I think you should listen.” “What the f**k do you know?” Robert snapped impatiently, placing the dagger on the floor beside him as he squatted above Alexia, holding her jaw tightly as if to squeeze words out of her mouth. “Start talking now,” he threatened, “before I lose it.” “Not like this baby,” Alexia said shaking her head stiffly in pain and expressing dissatisfaction at how Robert handled her, “never like this.”
