CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
AVA’S POV
“You did a fucking horrible job,” Harley yelled as she sat on my bed; she was deep in thought, and so was I.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know his body would fucking react like that, give me a break,” I yelled, back angry about Harley scolding me.
I found myself walking aimlessly in Harley’s room.
I was scared that we would be caught. Killing Ethan was not what made me scared, he wasn’t my first kill, my first kill was mother, that was when I was still young, the problem is there was evidence he was strangled.
“I distracted them, all you had to do was stick to the plan and poison his drip, why the fuck did you strangle him with a rope, you didn’t even use a pillow,” Harley yelled, pulling her clothes.
The plan was to poison Ethan’s drip, while Harley distracts Burke and Catherine, making sure they don’t come into the mansion, when Ethan dies, Burke gets angry and send Catherine away, that way Harley and Burke can get married and we could kill Burke from there, it was supposed to be that simple.
“I have to strangle him because he woke up and caught me pouring poison in his drip,” I said, remembering when my father woke up, the disappointment in his eyes when he saw him poisoning his drip was something that pressed my heart.
“Don’t tell me you are the one that has been poisoning me?” He asked, with his sickly voice when I gave him a wicked smile, he knew I was the one, and he tried to yell for help, that was why I strangled him, using the rope that was connected to his drip.
“Shit, why the hell does he have to wake up, today of all days?” Harley said, exhausted, after she heard the story of why I killed him.
“I don’t think they will suspect us though, You once thought I wasn’t capable of Murder,” I said, with a convincing smile, although I wasn’t convinced, some of the domestic staff knows I was the last to visit Ethan before he died.
“Speak for yourself, you know Burke would point fingers at me, because I am from Hoang pack,” She yelled, packing her hair on a messy bun.
Harley was right, Burke would have a name as number one on the suspect list, because she is from the neighboring pack, and these people have been attacking us.
“You are my best friend, remember? I’ll protect you,” I said with a smile and Harley nodded her head in response.
“What about the whore? Did you get any information from her?” I asked Harley and she widened her eyes, it seems like she had forgotten all about Regina, who we paid to kiss Burke, so that Catherine could be jealous.
“Shit, I forgot to talk with her, I followed them to the garden immediately they left the gym,” Harley lamented, hitting her forehead with her hand, showing how stupid she was.
“She works at a Harley club, we can easily get any information from her,” I reminded Harley and her eyes turned bright again.
“Then what the fuck are we waiting for? Let’s meet Regina right away, we need all the information we can get,” Harley said, as she wore a pink pants and white crop top, she left her hair in a messy bun.
I wore baggy jeans and a black shirt, and my blonde hair flowed to my shoulder length.
” We need to hurry, before she gets involved with any customer,” I said to Harley as we stepped out of my room.
Getting outside the mansion, Harley and I were contemplating on which car to use, when one of the drivers came up to us, with a smile.
“Where are we heading to mam?” The driver asked and I snatched the car keys from his hand.
“I’m heading there alone,” I said to him, trying to look as strict as possible.
I hopped in a Black Corolla car, with Harley sitting at my side. I wasn’t a good driver, so I always used the control sister of the car, all I had to do was turn the wheel like I was driving.
“Take us to the stripper’s club, down the lane?” I said to the control and the engine was geared to life.
“Do you want it at high speed, maximum speed it low speed,” The controller sounded in the car.
I turned to Harley to ask for a permission to put the car at high speed and she nodded with a smile
“High speed, please,” I said, with a smile, and soon the car was on the road, driving at high speed.
It didn’t take us long before the car came to a halt, in front of the stripper’s club.
“Do you think she had much news for us?” Harley asked.
“There’s only one way to find out,” I replied to her question and we got out of the car.
We strolled into the stripper’s club, and there were a lot of strippers dancing everywhere. It was difficult to see Regina so we had to ask questions but we didn’t know who to ask.
“I bet you are looking for me,” I heard a famiar voice from behind us. Harley and I turned simultaneously to see Regina, standing in front of us, wearing only underwear which was transparent, the ring in her nipples were peaking out of the bar she was wearing.
“I know you would come for me,” She said, stretching her hand towards me, with a smile, making her rip lipstick to shine in the dark.
I knew she was stretching her hand, so I placed an envelope of money on her hand, strippers don’t talk until the are paid.
“Now tell us what you heard,” Harley demanded, which earned a laugh from Regina.
“You would have to pay for that information sweetie,” She said, and I dropped another envelope in her hand. I expected her to ask for more money.
“Well I heard a few things but the one that was shocking was the fact that Catherine is Burke’s second chance mate,” She said, looking through the money I gave her.
It seemed like I wasn’t hearing right, what the fuck did she just say?
“How did you know that?” Harley asked, confused as I was, the moon goddess was really good at playing tricks.
“Burke said he has felt the mate bond with Catherine,” Reginar said, as she left us with our thoughts.
Fuck, my plan just got complicated.
