Book:SCORNFUL VENGEANCE Published:2024-6-3

“I take it back! You’re not just a f**kmate!”
____
Tiger stopped immediately, and his ears moved on their own as the words penetrated. Did she just say that?
The devil will never take back her words, she’d never swallow her vomit, so… What the hell just happened? Did someone else say that for her.
There are two people in this room, just him and her, and that disqualified that possibility, so he turned back slowly to see her still standing on that same spot.
“What did you just f**king say?”
“You’re not just a f**kmate” she replied, and he clearly saw her lips move as she talked. She said it!
“Then what am I? Who am I to you?” He asked, holding his breath.
Toyota came closer and stood in front of him, his huge build shadowing her once again, and their silhouette formed on the wall.
“You’re… my co-boss” she said, and his arms fell.
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, aren’t you? You’re my co-boss, and we f**k… We both enjoy it and… you’re the only one who has ever f**ked me since my virginity got taken away by a bastard” she replied.
“A bastard?” He asked.
“There’s a bastard called Denzel when I was training in Atlanta, he promised heaven and Earth back then, that we’d finish training together and also leave together, but he eventually left without me after taking my pride, can’t believe I believed his lies” she replied.
Tiger folded his fists as he swallowed zero spit down his throat.
“What if… what if he had a reason for leaving? What if… what if he wasn’t the one who took your virginity” he said those words without thinking.
“What do you know? Ok fine I was blindfolded when he f**ked me, but my nose recognizes his body scent, he smelled like flowers and shea, Denzel’s scent!” She shouted at his face, and he went mute.
“And a reason to leave? What reason would he have to leave without taking me along! We planned to build a clan and boss it together! We had everything planned out! We planned the name of this clan together! Sin-Nation! He produced that name and gave me my underworld name, Terminator. He had no reason to leave! He’s just a bastard!” she raged loudly.
“So… you miss him?” Tiger asked, and she laughed.
“Miss him? I’m killing him the next time I set eyes on him, the only painful thing is that we were young back then, and he’d have grown just like me, so I might have even seen him and not recognize him” she muttered, and Tiger swallowed again .
She smiled slightly and stepped back.
“Meet me at the park in three minutes, co-boss” she said and walked out.
Tiger punched the wall immediately, and his blood began pouring from his knuckles as he walked into his room.
He dipped his second hand into his closet and brought out a small bottle of perfume which has OAK written on it.
He wears it everyday to conceal his real body scent. He naturally scents like flowers and shea, same scent she smelled from the person who took her virginity instead of him.
Toxica played the game well, she must have created a perfume that smells exactly like him, then give it to Brazil to wear just to smell like him before f**king her.
She deceived her into thinking that he took her virginity and ran away, she destroyed everything!
He punched the wall again with the same hand, his body quivering with anger as he imagined Toxica’s face in his head… he remembered her words when she was threatening him to leave.
“If you refuse to leave, you’ll have to pay with the dearest thing to you” Toxica had said, and his eyes had widened.
“Cha.. nce?”
“I’m just gonna send my men to take care of him, and they’re gonna send you his head” she replied emotionlessly.
“Don’t you dare touch my brother!!! Don’t dare!!!!”
“Then leave this place tonight, and never come back!” Toxica ordered.
Tiger snapped back to the present and punched the wall for the third time.
“F**k… I wanna kill her” he muttered, resting on the wall.
“What are you doing! Everyone is waiting!” Chance shouted, coming in angrily, but when he saw his hand, his eyes widened.
“What the f**k!” He ran to him and grabbed the hand.
“Are you insane? I know you enjoy pains but hurting yourself just to feel it is not making any f**king sense!” He shouted, and Tiger smiled.
“Idiota” Chance muttered and pulled him out of the room
He got bandage and wrapped it on the hand with care.
“The next time you try this, call me a motherf**ker if i bother” he said.
“You’re always a motherf**ker” Tiger replied.
“D**k” Chance rolled eyes, and Tiger smiled as they left the apartment together.
“What took you so long again?” Toyota asked when they arrived at the park together.
He looked at Brazil hatefully before raising his bandaged hand up.
“Hurting myself” he said, and she went close immediately.
She grabbed the hand and unwrapped the bandage to behold the wounds.
“Are you mad?” She faced him.
“Maybe” he replied, and she scoffed before wrapping it back.
“We talk when we arrive” she said and entered the car.
Brazil made to enter with her, but Tiger pushed him back.
“You’re not part of this, so f**k off” he said and entered.
The two cars drove off, and Brazil smiled devilishly before walking away from the park.

“Is Jezebel really the spy?” Lambo asked immediately Zenith entered the lab with her dog, Thunder..
“Of course, caught her red-handed, and she’s cooling her feet at the capture zone” Zenith replied, and Thunder sat beside her feet.
“I think she inhaled the poison, Terminator is tricky, I can’t wait to hear the story of how she poisoned her” Lambo smiled.
“Me too, and I can’t wait for tommorow, Delilah will finally be able to step out and meet her brother” Zenith smiled.
“Tedross? Surprisingly, he likes it here, and he’s acing the trainings” Lambo replied.
“That’s the point” Zenith smiled and sat, but Lambo stood immediately.
“Going somewhere?” Zenith asked.
“Yeah, coming for you” Lambo replied and leaned in to her immediately.
Zenith didn’t get it till her lips met hers, and her eyes widened.
Lambo kissed her so hard that she lost balance and almost fell from the chair, but she quickly got it together and pushed Lambo away.
“Lambo!” She gasped, standing up.
“I’m… I’m sorry… I must have lost it” Lambo replied.
“You’re… you’re bi?” Zenith said.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier, but…
Zenith ran out of the lab before she could finish, and Thunder ran after her.
“Damn!” Lambo shouted.
Sylvester is at the door, watching since the start. He actually hid when he saw Zenith coming, and after she left, he came out of his hiding place and hardened his jaw as he stared at Lambo who was pacing around the lab.
She likes Zenith, then why make him fall more by f**king him last night?

“Jae!”
“Jae!”
Tequila ran after him, calling his name as he walked the lawn.
He didn’t look back, rather he kept walking till she caught up and blocked him.
“Jae what the f**k are you doing? You weren’t in your apartment throughout today despite checking countless times, you didn’t pick my calls either, is this still because of what happened last night? I said I was sorry even when it wasn’t my fault” she said.
“And I never said I wasn’t fine” he replied coldly.
“Then why the odd attitude just because someone else fingered me, my p*ssy is not meant for just you yunno? We’re f**k buddies so why?” She said.
“I know” he replied and started walking away.
“Wait…” Tequila said, but he didn’t…
“Don’t tell me you fell for me” she said, and he stopped walking immediately.
