“I want her tongue.”she twirled the knife in her hand.
“Who.. are..”Vincent stammered.
She gave him a punch in his stomach with a frown.
“I’m your boss.”she frowns.
Boss?!!!!
“B.. boss?”Vincent was equally shocked.
Wait, what?
Boss wasn’t the boss?
There was another boss?
The room was dead silent.
She scuttled to where I was and went on a squat then grab my chin.
She pierced her eyes into mine fiercely.
“How dare you threaten me?”she drawled out.
“I want your whole pretty face chopped off. Shall I help?”she moved the knife up to my neck.
I gulped hard while blinking rapidly.
“Tttt…. should I slit your throat?”
I felt the tip of the knife on my skin and I shut my eyes.
“You’ve been useful up till now.”she grinned and stood up.
She moved to where Ralph was and chuckled.
“Your heart sure likes pretty women, doesn’t it?. Oh, my. What to do?.”she mocked.
“Don’t make it too hard. You’re going to die after all. Do you need me to torture you before you spill out the location of the treasure?”she moved past them to where Vincent was and slitted his throat nimbly.
Blood oozes out from his neck and he held on to it as he drop down to the ground.
“You’ve been amazing up till now. I just don’t need you anymore.”she said.
My eyes widened in horror.
Mama Mercy!!!!!
“Uncle?!!!!!”Snow shouted.
The others looks dumbfounded.
All this is probably too much for them to handle.
They just watched a man die…
Wait, Uncle?!!!!!!! Toooo?!!!
What the hell is happening?!!!!
Boss, sorry, Vincent Is their uncle?!!
She lifted the knife to her mouth and licked off his blood.
“I love blood. But I’m not a vamp. Don’t get me wrong. Who is next?”she scoured her eyes around.
“You!”she pointed at….
Me.
Oh, no.
She took long strides towards me with a huge smile glued to her face.
“Where do I start from? Your lips! I want them.”
Oh, father Lord.
My life ends here.
“No!, not yet.”She turned back.
I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding and opened my mouth widely, taking in all the air I could possibly take.
She moved to where Kelvin was lying unconscious on the floor and started crying.
“So, this young man’s journey ends here?.. oh no..”she sobbed.
“He is so pretty.”she touched his face then kissed him.
I threw my face away, irritated.
I looked back and saw how she raised up her hand and stabbed him many times then stood up.
“I can’t share the treasure with anyone.”
“Clean up. We will resume tomorrow, dearies. I have to go to my secretary job.”she ordered the boys and went out.

Diana’s pov.
##The next day.
A blaring sound made its way to my ears and I moaned and pressed the pillow down to my ears while turning to the other side.
The sound became so disturbing that I have to open my eyes.
I huffed and turned off the alarm angrily.
Geez..
I checked the time and…
Jesus!
Ten minutes past ten?
Fuck!
I rushed inside the bathroom and brushed my teeth hurriedly then took a short shower.
Why didn’t John wake me up, huh?
That punk!.
I puts on a crop top and a short skirt then packed my hair in a messy bun.
I carried my bag and grabbed one out of the numerous car keys on the table and headed out.
I collided with John on the stairs.
“Huh?, where are you going?”
“Work, work, work. Let me borrow one of your cars.”I replied.
“But, what about this?”he raised up a platter.
“Oh, you prepared breakfast?. I’m sorry, I won’t be able to eat your delicacy, pretty boy. I gotta run along.”I jogged down the stairs.
“Take the guards with you!”he yelled after me.
“Nah… I’ll be fine.” I yelled back.
I hurried over to the garage and pressed the button on the key.
A blue car beeps and I smiles.
Perfect!
I ran to it then starts the engine and drove out.

Helen’s pov.
“Babe?. Aren’t you suppose to be at work?”Jayden asked when I entered his living room.
“Why did you approach me?”I asked instead.
“What… are you trying to say?. I don’t quite understand?”he shook his head.
“Of course, you don’t. You approached me because you and your friends placed a bet on me, didn’t you?”
I watched as his eyes widened.
“He…”
“I want the truth!!!!!”I shouted.
“One of your friends who identified himself as Mike told me you’re only toying with me.. it was all a bet! How dare you! I… for crying out loud, I cooked pasta for you damn man!”I pointed at him.
Tears streamed down my face and I breathed out and wiped them off.
“I don’t wanna see you again. No, just die. I hate you now.”
He came to where I was and took my hands.
“Helene, let me explain. I…”
“Fuck you, Jayden. Explain? You should have done that a long time ago before allowing me to find out myself?. What do you even have to say?”I nabbed my hands away from his.
“Just disappear from my life. To me, from now on. You do not exist anymore.”I jabbed his chest.
I sniffed in and shook my head.
“He.. Helene.. it is not like that. I love you now.. please, hear me out… please..”
“I trusted you. You took my trust for granted. You were just playing with me?. You were going to have me on your bed then…. then make fun of me among your friends?”tears prickled out of my eyes.
I spun around and rushed out through the door while shutting the door behind me loudly.
“Helene?!”he called behind me.
★★
Aysel’s pov.
“Aysel?, Aysel?”I heard before fluttering my eyes opened.
“You’re finally awake. That’s a relief.” I heard Ralph says.
“Let’s find a way to get you out of here..”he added.
I scoffed.
“When tied up like this?”
He sighed.
“I’ll try to talk to P..”
“Don’t.”I looked at him.
“She won’t let me go, anyways. She can’t. Let’s talk about you. How did you guys get here?”
“We were abducted.”
“I told you to be careful!”
The door creaks opened and Page stepped in.
We all directed our stares at her.
“What?, you guys miss me that much?”she giggled.
“I missed you guys too.”the smile on her face disappeared.
“I need a refreshment. Aysel?, mind borrowing me your eyes?”
******
Diana’s pov.
“Terry! I’m so sorry I am late.”I rushed inside the studio.
“Is Terry your boss?”Gregory scoffed from behind.
“Oh, Gregory…..”I whined while moving to give him a hug.
“Stop!”he pointed at me.
“I don’t do married women.”
I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
“Whatever. I wasn’t going to hug you anyways.”I grinned.
“You can hug me instead.”Terry grinned.
“Really?”I moved to where he was.
“Sorry, you’re not my type.”he said.
Both he and Gregory shared a laugh and I frowned at them.
“Okay, let’s get started. You should go change.”Gregory announced.
“Ugh, I miss this so much.”I pouted while walking towards the dressing room.

Aysel’s pov.
My heart flew out of my chest as she took long strides towards me.
She tilted her head to the side with a grin.
Psychopath! Psychopath!
I felt tears welled up in my eyes.
Geez.. when is backup going to get here?
I didn’t pictured this to be this dangerous.
Here, there’s a cold, blood – thirsty demon.
Is she really a human?
Her eyes turned bloodshot.
I darted my eyes to the guys who looks terrified too.
She pulled my hair and stuck out her tongue and licked my cheek.
“Not yet.”she shrugged and left.
Gracious!

Diana’s pov.
…
“Good job, everyone. Should we go grab some drinks?”Terry clapped his hands after we were done with the shoot.
“Sounds nice!”I chimed in.
“Sorry, no space for married women.”he shuns me.
I pressed my lips together.
“I will surely get back at you, I promise.”I brushed my hair back.
I carried my bag and left the building.
I brought out the car keys while heading towards the parking lots.
I moved my hair from my left shoulder to my right one.
Suddenly, I felt something pierce through my stomach and I gasps.
I looked down and saw blood rushing out..
