Chapter 75
It was 7 pm when Elena was already ready to leave the house. Even when the message had clearly stated 8 pm as the meeting time, she was determined to get there before her blackmailer and not take the risk of being delayed by traffic.
“Ma’am, are you headed somewhere?” Angelo’s men asked as she stepped out of the house. “Do you need someone to drive you there?”
“No! I’m not going too far, just going around the corner to meet a friend.” She said to them as she kept walking out. She was relieved that Angelo was not around and it made her escape easier.
“Okay, ma’am. What will we tell the boss when he comes back?” They asked.
” Just tell him that I went out to meet a friend and will be back soon.”
” Okay, ma’am.”
In minutes, Elena had already gotten to the venue of the meeting, “The Club,” and when she arrived there, it was already a few minutes to 8 pm.
As she approached the entrance of the club, one of the men walked up to her with a smile.
“Happy evening, ma’am. This way, please.” He said to her she motioned in the opposite direction.
Elena wondered if he knew who she was as she went towards the building with him. As they stepped into the club with all the music and the noise that surrounded them, Elena looked around, trying to make out familiar faces, but none was familiar.
As she stepped into another room, which was attached to the main clubhouse, she met Eva situated on a large, ge long couch, smiling at her as she was ushered in.
Elena knew she looked good in the short gown she wore in pride, the same one Dominic had given to her, but when she saw Eva, her heart sank.
Was she the blackmailer? All along she had thought it would be a male figure, but a fellow woman? It was disheartening.
“Eva?”
“Elena. It’s good to see you, again.” Eva said in a sultry voice as she adjusted in her seat. “Have a seat.”
“Was the you? The one who sent the message to me?” Elena asked as she sat down on the couch.
“Mm… hmmm,” Eva said laughing mockingly.
“What do you want, Eva? If I was told that you would do this, I don’t think I would give such a person a listening ear. But here we are.” Elena was trying to guilt-trip Eva.
” Oh please! Spare me that trash you are trying to do? It’s your guts for me. You have the guts for having a thing with Angelo’s right-hand man while staying under his roof.” Eva rebuked and Elena scoffed.
” Like you are some saint? You reprimand me when you have a lot of skeletons in your cupboard?” Elena laughed. ” You know, if you gave a hint that you were the one, trust me when I say I would not waste my time coming here to do this with you.”
” Are you trying to tell me that I can’t do what I have threatened to do?” Eva stared at her in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that Elena would take her for granted.
” Go ahead and do your worst, Eva. Do I look like I care? “Elena snapped at her.
Deep down, Elena was scared; she was afraid of what an immature mind like Eva’s could do, but she knew that she had to keep her pride by not acting scared of her in any way.
“Do you mean that?” Eva asked with a smirk and a wink.
“Do I look like I care? I think we are supposed to meet today after this meeting, I could just help you show it to him. I’m sure you would love that, right?” Elena spoke again.
Her voice was harsh and gave this tone that showed an indifferent vibe to whatever she said.
Eva was quiet for a while as she stared at Elena with a smile on her face. The fact that she had found out she was the blackmailer, and despite her strong tongue and boast, she had not stood up yet or made an attempt to leave meant something. That she was scared and needed a way out was all that she needed.
Elena knew Eva disliked her, but she did not expect her to go to such lengths to prove her hatred to her. Now that she had leverage over her, she would use it to her satisfaction and Elena hated that. If only she could find a way out of this mess she had caused for herself.
She watched as Eva made a motion with her hand, and the same door she had opened, d and a man walked in.
Elena was confused. What was going on? What was Eva’s plan? She already knew Eva wanted something from her which was the only reason she was here. If she could do what Eva wanted, then the video would be deleted, and all would be fine.
“What’s going on here?” Elena asked as she stared at the shirtless man.
He was a tall and huge man and with his chest bare, Elena knew he had been working out, too much of it even. His arms were huge, and without touching them, Elena could see that there were strong ones that could get hold of anything at any time. The only clothing on his body was a short that hugged his strong thighs perfectly such that one could see all that they contained.
“Eva? What the hell is going on here?” She queried Eva who just gave her a smile that suggested something weird.
Eva directed him to the sofa in front of them and he took the sofa and sat with his arms spread out like he owned the sofa. He winked at Elena and licked his lips making her insides curl in disgust.
“Eva! Is this some joke? I’m still trying to figure out what is going on here.” She muttered her voice getting lower.
“Well, I just thought that we could be on the same page and you’d have nothing to worry about on one condition,” Eva said with an evil smirk on her face.
“You are not about to tell me to fuck this stranger, are you?” Elena growled in shock, and Elena burst into laughter.
” No sis. It’s nothing that serious. Just a hand job will do.”
