After Pius left, i was in the apartment alone. He took the blood stained carpet with him and i was hoping no one heard the gunshots because this time round, the cops would take me with them and it would be the end of me.
I checked out the clothes as i had to fish out which one i would wear that evening for Rex's father in laws party, so Rex was married after all, i had no idea because he never spoke about his wife, children or family..
In my collection i found a long blue dress with a long slit and that was going go be perfect for my agenda. That dress was bought by Dante and he insisted that it would look nice on me. I was going to show up for that dinner and make heads turn. My plan was not to take Rex down that very night but i had 72hours right, those were enough to take down not just him but everyone including Dante and his brother.
I stood infront of the mirror and put the dress on myself and smiled. In prison we wore some zebra like uniform that i hated so much and i never thought i would have the freedom to dress the way i wanted.
I got away from the mirror and my mind drifted to storm and his friend. What was going on between them really.. because storm needed him to pass me a message when i was locked up at Dante's hide out but still they were following each other like sheep. Could it be that the Jeff guy had double crossed Dante because Dante told me that he was going to be my guide in Rex's house.
I dumped the dress on the bed then got some shoes and a clutch bag to go with it..
Spider and Janice left the place and Janice went back home. She didn't know how she was going to convince Livia after everything that spider had told her and did she really believe there was going to be a cheque?..
I got a call on my phone and on checking the screen, it was a new number. I dropped the purse on the bed and picked the call and walked to the window to my bedroom. It had a nice view and from my room i could see kids riding bikes and the neighborhood was just quiet and beautiful.
Me: hello.
Janice: hello, am I speaking to Livia
Me: yes.. how can i be of help?.
Janice: this is Janice, we spoke earlier. I'm calling about my sister's cheque.
Me: okay, what about it?..
Janice: i was wondering If i can receive the cheque today because i have a flight to catch the day after tomorrow and you know how the bank process is..
Me: oh sure.. thats not a problem at all. The Cheque is in Debby's name and you can pick it anytime when you are ready.
Janice: even today?..
Me: only that today im going for some Party but i can carry the cheque with me and you can pick it up from where i will be.. you can join the party, its an open one..
Janice: nice,i would love that so much. I will meet you there then. Can i bring a friend?
Me: sure, its just a party. I will send you the pin..
She said thanks and ended the call and i smiled. Janice was testing me and she had no idea that she was digging her own grave..
Janice didn't ask me if she cpuld come with someone because she wanted to but but she did because she was testing me and she thought i would tell her to come alone. I didn't care if she brought the whole gang, the thing is.. no stone was hoing fo remain un turned.
The arrangements for the party was on point and everything was very good.. the decor was perfect and the caterers had the food ready. Soft music was playing and Rex's father in law was seated with his wife and a few of his friends.. Rex was in a pull neck and he looked as fine as he had always been.
I walked into the club and because i was supposed to know no one, i walked to the bar and sat on a stool and the bartender smiled at me and i smiled back.. he had a name tag that read Dave.
I scanned around real fast to see if i could see anyone else i knew from Rex's gang and i saw no one just yet. Rex and some lady i assumed was his wife were at a different table with people I assumed were friends or family I don't know..
Dave: important guests don't seat by the bar. A table was reserved. Should i call a waiter to assist you in locating a table?..
Me: no thanks.. I'm waiting for my friend actually and I'd prefer her for other reasons. You are quite.
He smiled blushed abit. Its not like i lied about him being cute but i wasn't hunting. I already had men at my disposal but this time round, i wanted more than just good looking men. I wanted their heads.
I had my first drink scrolling through my phone and checking out people's photos on i********: as i waited for an opportunity to strike. First forward, when i walked into the club, my eyes rested on Rex's table and i made sure he had looked my way though he would not be able to tell who i was because of my beautiful well blended mask..
Dave: just let me know if you want more drinks, it has been paid for by the way.
I smiled. This one thought i was in for free things. That would impress me when i Still slept with men for money.
The party was good as there was alot going on, people were dancing and there were games being played one of them being a game where we had to mingle and get to know each other. Every man got a hold of a lady and the music would start but by the time the music was ending you ought to have danced with as many men or women as posible. Whoever dance with the fewest would get a punishment for that night..
I hated such games as they ended up in a dramatic way but I had to play it because my goal was to reach Rex whose wife had her eyes on like a hawk. She must have known he was a womanizer..
The music started and i was with some guy i didnt know. He complemented me on how good i looked and before i could say thanks, he had spined me to another man. This was going to be fun.
I kept surveying the room for surprises and by surprises i meant the Storm kind of surprise or maybe even Dante..all over sudden i felt like they were both so all over me and for Dante I could understand but for Storm, i couldn't. I Still couldn't figure him out..
I danced with a few guys before i got passed on to Rex and when he held me i felt cold shivers run down my spine..maybe it was the chemistry we had before, I don't know..
Rex: hey.
Me: hello.
Rex: that dress is so sexy..
Me: not the person wearing it?..
Rex: i wouldn't go directly to that. Obviously i would not want to sound offensive but damn you look hot.
Me: thank you... Nice party..
Rex: the party is not mine but thanks all the same..
I smiled and he couldn't tell my face was fake, i loved this mask and oh, by the neck, i had a black beautiful scarf that covered the edge of the mask so nicely he couldn't tell.
People moved to the next partners but he didn't pass me over so we maintained our position..
Rex: i have never seen you around here, are you new?..
Me: not really. I got invited by a friend but from the look of things, she bailed on me.
That was a lie..if only he knew, how could he not know me, not even from my voice..
Rex: i think you are truly beautiful and i would like to but you dinner or coffee maybe then we can talk about one or two things..
I smiled because the i***t was making it too easy for me. Rex played hard to get the first time Jonas sold me to him. Okay i say spld me because the intention was for me to have s*x with Rex because he got paid for it. This time round, i didn't have to sweat at all, I knew what he wanted and it's a good thing he made the initiative for his death...
We could not exchange numbers but he gave me his office address and told me to go see him the following day and I agreed to that. As we were still dancing, the woman who had been with her came and pushed me off him and took over the dance. I started walking off the dance floor but someone grabbed my arm pulled me to him and started dancing with me..
Me: do i know you?..
Him: my name is Gabby.
Me: do i know you Gabby?
Gabby: no but people are dancing right?..
I eased up so that i would not embarrass myself and continued dancing with him as everyone else was..
Outside, Storm and Jeff were seated in another of Storm's classy cars. They had showed up at the party but why, why hadn't they gone inside like anyone else and what were they really upto?..
Jeff: do you know what will happen to me should someone spot me in your car. Davina is here on a mission and that means Dante couldn't be far off from here and so are his guys..
Storm: the things that worry you.
Jeff: seriously though, you should let me go Storm. I will never snitch on you.
Storm: its not about snitching on me. Its about you learning because you are in this fight too..
Jeff: what do you mean by that?..
Storm: Davina will need you when she decides to go after Dante because she will. You will be her gate pass but i need to keep my eyes on you so that i will be sure to trust you with her when that time comes.
Jeff: are you serious right now?..
Storm: no I'm not... I'm f*****g kidding infact I'm tickling you so you should laugh.
He kept checking outside like he was expecting something bad to happen and Jeff, after that response, he wasn't going to ask more questions.
Storm checked his gun for bullets then c****d it.
Jeff: don't tell me you want to go in there..
Storm: of cause not. I would not risk her life but there should have been chaos by now..
Just then they saw Janice walk into the club and they looked at each other..
Jeff: wait, isn't that your girlfriend?.
Storm: what the hell is she doing here?
Jeff: maybe she is here to meet a richer guy. If i were you i would..
Storm: shut up Jeff.. don't piss me off..
Jeff:. I'm just saying...
He shrugged his shoulder and smiled to himself..
On the dance floor i felt quite uncomfortable and when i saw Janice walk in, i felt a bit relieved so i tried to pull away from the Gabby guy but he grabbed my butt and pulled me to him and the next thing i did was land a hot slap on his face then pushed him so hard that he pushed a waiter that knocked off the cake that was right in the middle of the room. He turned to me with a slap but Rex grabbed his hand and beat him up.
Rex's wife was so mad that she came at me and we ended up in a bit of a tussle before Rex separate us then the Gabby guy chucked a gun from God knows where and just as he was about to shoot Rex, one of his guys who were in the crowd shot the Gabby guy and when the rest of the people heard that, they started running out of the club..
I had a gun in my pass and just as I thought of pulling it out, i saw Storm rush in and before he could get to where i was, Janice saw him and grabbed me. Rex after having his wife and family escorted out of the club, he grabbed my arm and when he came face to face with storm, he drew his gun and fired at storm who pushed Janice to her back and found cover behind some wall..
Rex rounded up his guys and asked then to close a the doors and make sure they gunned down anything that was breathing inside that club as he grabbed my arm and led to out towards the back door to the club..
That was indeed a f****d up evening and now storm was in deep shit...
