★
Blood was leaking out of Stonia's right upper arm, staining her lower arm and dripping to the ground.
Ixora couldn't even feel her own soul anymore till she got to her and held her tightly.
Despite the intense bleeding, Stonia stood strong, neither shaking nor staggering.
She just held the bleeding spot so tight and kept her eyes widely open so she won't pass out.
"Mum keep it that way ok? Keep it open!" Ixora made her sit on a chair.
She tore a large part of her gown and wrapped it around Stonia's arm to douse the bleeding.
Then she lifted her up and hung her arm on her shoulder, taking her out of the hall with the help of the managers.
"Keep your eyes open ok? Don't shut it" she said.
"I'm the strongest woman in this country, i'm not gonna pass out cos of a small bullet graze" Stonia replied, taking deep breaths.
There are more securities around her now, lot of them are also at the upper part of the hall, running around for any sign of the shooter.
They didn't see anyone though, not even the shadow of the person since the boys are already long gone.
The hall is one of Capri's family real estate assets, so he knows the secret passages and whatnot.
They took the passage inside the powering room, going through dead wires and cables till they arrived at the back rails where they took turns to jump.
On getting down, Ashton was already waiting in the car since he didn't enter the hall with them.
They got in with him, and he screeched the car down the opposite road.
Konstantin began laughing hard immediately, his laughter syncing with the soft sound of the car engines.
"I wish the show laster longer, fûck. I live for the way she screamed Mum!!! That lying wench" he said, going back to serious.
"So if we didn't follow you, War. You'd have forgotten about the golden rule? You had plans to kill Stonia" Ashton said from the front.
"I should probably write the fuckin rule and hang it on my neck, it's getting harder to follow. Couldn't fulfil my dead body promise to her cos of it" Warren muttered, resting his thumb on his lower lip.
"No, for real. No one is killing the innocent. Stonia didn't push her to go give the stupid testimony. Giving her the shot was only to sound a warning" Ashton said.
"You're the only one taking that shitty rule serious" Konstantin spoke.
"Thank shit for me in your life, Konstant. Otherwise you'd have killed a lot, that's why I say you and War should be twins" Ashton replied.
"Who made the golden rule when I was in jail?" Warren asked, sounding fuckin jaded.
"Capri" Ashton replied, and Warren's eyes darted to Capri.
"Don't give me that look. Fine, this city did us shitty, but we can't go around killing innocent people, that'd only make us look low" Capri replied.
"Real" Ashton supported.
"When you were sent to jail, people hated us too. They thought we were friends with a killer, and that we were like you. Hate comments filled our social medias, so we had to delete our accounts." Capri continued.
"My dad cut my monthly allowance for a year cos of it, and he forbade me from coming to Russia to beg. I had to depend on Ashton for a year in Tennessee, but then... We all know Ash's father is an abuser. He abused Ash cos of it, and I was so mad I almost killed his father" Konstantin said.
Ashton smiled dryly, the smile sadistic.
"Yeah, this bastard almost killed my mad father, but then I brought him to the old slaughterhouse in my street. I handed him a matchstick and he set the house on fire to calm himself." He said.
"Since then, anytime we got hate or got angry, we looked for any old house to set on fire. And that's why city people initially named us The Antichrist. They thought we were pyromaniacs" Capri chuckled.
"Aren't we?" Warren replied.
"But then after you spent one year in jail, and your brutality news began spreading out, people concluded that we weren't just antichrists, they changed the name to Satan's Heirs, and I fell in love with it" Konstantin laughed.
"Why are y'all sick boys not in history major? You're good at it, interesting history 101" Warren said, and Capri was the first to laugh out.
Ashton joined the laughter, then Konstantine's went louder than the two of them.
It's not a laughter of happiness, it's filled with darkness and sadness.
Warren watched their lips lifting and their noses inching as the laughter swelled, heating up the car.
He suffered hell in jail for one year before he began standing up for himself, and though his friends might not have suffered as much as he did, they still suffered their own quota.
He'd do anything—anything at all, to make this revenge game come to fruition.
Even if it means driving Ixora to suicide, to madness.
That'd the the endpoint of this.

[Ford Saloon]
Tina is already seated on a guest plastic chair, mounting her right leg on the left one and looking around the saloon like it's a darn rathole.
Obviously, she's disgusted.
Mr. Ford is currently barbing for another customer, and Romeo is sitting in front of her.
"You have a lot to say, say it" he said, and Tina faced him.
"Eew! You mean to tell me people actually come in here to barb? I met your dad eating when I arrived, seriously? In this place?" She said.
"If you're here to ridicule my family, then you've done enough, why don't you leave now?" Romeo stood.
"No no I don't mean it like that, I'm just... marvelled" she quickly said.
"Why are you here Tina?" He asked, still on his feet.
She stood and gave him a quick smile, then she hung her bag on her shoulder.
"I only came to take a look, bye!" She waved at his face, and he frowned as he watched her rush out of the shop.
"Your girlfriend?" Mr. Ford asked, and Romeo faced him fast.
"Spit it out! I don't have a girlfriend" he said, and the man grinned.
"But you like your boss's daughter? The Ixora girl?" He teased.
"I don't... like her. What are you even saying?" He made faces before starting to go into the inner apartment.
"By the way when is mum coming home next? We're not allowed to visit her after all" He said.
"You'll see her soon" Mr. Ford replied, and Romeo finally entered.
He fell on the bed he shares with his father, shutting his eyes.
His mind went to Ixora's neck wound, and he got greatly worried immediately.
He got his phone out of his back pocket and dialled her line, patiently waiting for her to pick.
"Hello?" He spoke when she finally picked.
"Hey Romeo.." she said, her voice down.
"Are you ok?" He sat up in bed.
"Mum ... She got shot during her press conference" she replied slowly, and he stood instantly.
"What!"
"But we're in the hospital now, and thank gawd it's not severe. She got hit in the arm and lost so much blood, so she's on transfusion" she said.
Romeo is already wearing his shirt by now since he was wearing a singlet before, then he hurriedly wore his slippers, rushing out of the room.
"You're not coming, are you? I'm seriously ok and Serena will come" she said.
"I don't care, I'll be with you soon" he replied, signalling at Mr. Ford in the saloon before leaving the house.
Tina is still struggling to walk back to the road where she parked her car when Romeo rushed past her.
"Romeo!" She shouted, but his ears are like locked, he didn't look back.
She stopped on the muddy ground, and she angrily stumped her shoes before continued her walk.
Luckily, she met Bethel coming ahead.
She actually went to get snacks even after eating with her father, and she's just coming back from the snack shop, swinging her snack nylon in hand.
"Hey, where is your brother going? I'm sure you met him ahead" Tina asked.
"You expect me to disclose my brother's location just like that?" Bethel made finger gestures.
Tina scoffed before dipping her hand into her bag, getting out some dollar notes which she handed to her.
Bethel took the notes and smiled.
"Stonia Martinez got shot during her press con, so he's going to the hospital" she said.
"And what's Romeo's deal with Ixora's mother?" Tina replied.
"Cos he likes —"
Bethel stopped talking and covered her mouth at this point.
"He likes who? Ixora?" Tina's eyes widened.
"I didn't say that" Bethel replied, rushing off.
"Bethel! Bethel!!" Tina screamed after her, but Bethel was already gone.
The rest of the walk to her car, Tina did it fast and angry.
She took off the muddy heels and threw them away before getting in her car at the main road.
"That godforsaken alley! How can humans live in such place, goddamn!" She complained, kicking her feet.
"And he likes Ixora? How?" She exhaled.

[Rhodes Corporations]
It's some minutes to 8pm when Rafael finally clocked out, exiting his office with his secretary who gave him a goodbye bow by the entrance.
Rafael got in his car at the park and took his phone first.
He was shocked to see three missed calls from Ixora, and his thumb quickly clicked her line, calling back instantly.
"Hey love of my life" he smiled when she picked.
"Mum got shot" she said, and his smile disappeared.
"What! Shot? How?"
"At her press conference, sorry I didn't listen to you. I followed her" she replied.
"But you're ok, right?" He asked.
"I'm fine, but she's on blood transfusion" she replied.
"Hospital name?" He asked, starting the car already.
"Strix" she replied.
"I'll be with you in ten" he hung up, driving out of the park, but immediately she got to the main road, someone blocked his car.
He nearly ran into her but he was quick to stop on the brakes.
"Hi, Mr. Rhodes" she waved, and he scoffed.
It's Kelsey.
"What the hell is wrong with you! I could have killed you!"
"I knew you were gonna be sharp with the brakes" she winked, and he scoffed again.
"Get away, I need to be somewhere"
"Get away? You saw me at the club and took me to your mansion that night. We almost fuçked, but your idiotic daughter ruined it, and now I'm back. Get us an hotel room and let's start from where we stopped" she raised her leg to the car bonnet.
Rafael came out of the car, kicking her leg away from the bonet before grabbing her tightly by the chin, making her whimper.
"Mr...Rhodes" she blinked.
"My idiotic daughter? Look, I can even cruise with the company I built for years, but my daughter? Don't you dare! Never in your years to come will you refer to my daughter as idiotic!" He pushed her back, and she almost staggered into the road.
Her bag fell from her as a result.
"I'm letting you go without wounds only because I have someplace to be" he said, getting back into his car.
Kelsey had to rush out of the road before he'd crush her with the car, but she couldn't save her bag though.
The car tyres matched the bag as Rafael drove off, and Kelsey dived her fingers into her hair madly.
"Fûck! Now I get why Serena is jealous. What's this hot love for a daughter who doesn't deserve it?" She said, rushing back to her own car.
"Rafael Rhodes, this isn't over" she said before getting in.

[Strix Hospital]
Ixora sat beside her mum's bed, looking more relieved than she was in the hall.
Thanks to the managers, Stonia was quickly rushed to the hospital earlier,, and she's on the second bloodbag since she lost very much blood.
She's as strong as she said though, cos she didn't for once close her eyes or pass out.
Her right hand has the transfusion tubes, so Ixora is holding her left hand, and Stonia is smiling painfully.
"Get that look of sadness off your face, my love." She said.
"I'm just sad to see you lying down here, it's so not like you" Ixora replied, rubbing her hand.
"After taking this second bloodbag, I'll get discharged tomorrow morning, and I'll heal at home, don't worry. Your mum is great" Stonia said.
Ixora leaned down to give her a peck on the cheek, and Stonia's smile widened.
Ixora smiled too, sitting back before sighing out.
The cops are investigating presently, but she just knows they won't get anything.
So far it's the Satan's Heirs, then nobody's gonna know, but then they've touched who they shouldn't have touched.
She took Splash's death as part of her punishment, but touching her mother is out of it, and she'd make them pay.
She didn't touch anyone's mother, so no one has the right to touch hers.
"Ixora?" Romeo came into the ward.
"Romeo I told you not to come!" She spranged up.
"Madam are you ok?" He faced Stonia.
"What are you doing here?" Stonia asked.
"I heard about it and—"
"And you came to do what? Leave" Stonia said harshly.
"Mum, not again" Ixora faced her.
"Don't blame me for not liking your driver" Stonia replied, but then Rafael came in.
"Oh... just when I thought I've seen it all" she said.
"I'm not here to check on you, so don't start feeling important. I'm here to check if my daughter is really fine" Rafael said flatly.
Stonia turned her face away, gently moving her bandaged arm closer to herself.
Rafael took Ixora out of the ward, and Serena rushed inside.
"Aunt Stonia!"
"Hey Serena, don't start crying, I'm still alive" Stonia replied, and Serena sat beside bed bed space, hugging her.
"Please get well soon, I hate seeing you down" she said, a small tear leaving her eye.
"Told you not to cry" Stonia replied, sighing.
Serena expected her to stroke her hair, but Stonia never did, and she began cussing at Ixora inwardly.
Is Ixora the only one on earth?
Why is she the only one whose hair can be stroked affectionately by Stonia?
--
"How exactly did it happen?" Rafael asked outside the ward.
He's with Ixora and Romeo.
"She was getting congratulated, then the shot came from nowhere" Ixora explained.
"And what are the cops saying?" Rafael asked again.
"They found nothing, and I don't think they'd find anything" Ixora replied assuredly.
"What do you mean?" Romeo asked.
"Cos they did it" Ixora replied.
"Warren's gang?" Romeo said.
"The four membered evil boys? Damn, haven't they terrorized this city enough?" Rafael said.
Ixora went silent.
"Did you see them?" Romeo asked.
"No, but I always feel when one of them is close. I felt him in the hall" she replied.
"What's the meaning of that?" Rafael frowned.
"His presence is strong...he hates me madly so his presence shadows me everytime" she explained.
"The W one?" Romeo scoffed.
"The one you testified against? Did he come for your mother to get back at you?" Rafael said.
Ixora inhaled.
"Then I'm meeting his father, whatever it takes" Rafael said, but Ixora quickly held him.
"No, I don't want you to get involved. I heard his father is evil too"
"Elder Creed that we all know? The philanthropist?" Rafael said.
"Don't judge a book by its cover, he's not very nice" Romeo said.
"I still don't care, I'll find a way to arrange a meeting with him so he'd know how to put his dog of a son on a leash" Rafael said, slipping out of the hospital.
Ixora faced Romeo.
"In the forest, you talked as if you have a personal problem with Warren, and just now you talked as if you have issues with his father too. Also, I've noticed you never call his full name, it's always W. What are you not telling me?" She asked, taking his hand.
"Hmm?" She cajoled.
He didn't remove his hand from her hold this time, he just smiled a bit.
"Not now" he said, and Ixora nodded.
He pulled her into a comforting hug, and she rested in his arms, comfortably.
But then, she suddenly remembered something which made her brows scrunch.
She had made findings about Warren when he was declared innocent some days ago, and from what she gathered...
His mother ran away after giving birth to him, and no one knows why.
But he has a Matron who raised him, and apart from his friends, the Matron is another person he'd die for.
Maybe she'd start from there.
She broke the hug with Romeo and gave him a short smile.
"You can go home, mum will be fine" she said.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To make a call" she replied, entering the washroom.
She dialled Nadine's line.
"Xo..xo" Nadine's sleepy voice came.
Nadine sleeps early, so she definitely didn't hear about Stonia's attack, and she didn't bother to tell.
"Where can I get a gun?" Ixora asked.
"Wait...what! A friggin gun?" Nadine gasped, and it's sure her sleep wiped off her eyes immediately.
"Any illegal gun market? I'll pay, just show me" Ixora said.
"Tell me you're not gonna kill anyone" Nadine said.
"Tell me the market first" Ixora replied.

[10PM, Cat's Eye Brotherhood Sanctuary]
Just like the old saying, the wickedest beings move at night, and the cruellest events occur in the cover of darkness.
The members of the brotherhood took it serious.
Cat's Eye Brotherhood has been in existence for years, and they've been succeeding in making their doings secret since them.
It's a s3x cult where men share just one woman for a night, and they won't stop till the woman passes out.
They pay them, film them and threaten the women with the videos, so they won't be able to speak for life.
The men in the cult are adults, well-known rich people in the society, but there's only one youth.
Bronx.
He joined by connection this year, and since then, his bravado in school multiplied.
It's another night of sexual pleasures tonight, but Bronx is not included since he had his turn last night already.
He's sitting on a stool, smoking.
The painful and pleasuring moans of the woman they're taking tonight is pouring out from inside one of the rooms, and it's so loud that he had to use his ear pods, blocking out the noise.
The brotherhood men are sitting around the place, chatting and laughing as the scent of female juice filled the air like an aphrodisiac.
Bronx is not feeling it too much tonight though, cos all he's thinking about is Monty.
Having the nerve to steal his stash is something she deserves to roll in the mud for.
"Hey, baby of the brotherhood" one of the older men came to meet him, and Bronx removed his right ear pod before facing the man.
"Why always wounding yourself on the face?" The man nudged him.
"None of your business" Bronx replied, frowning.
The man peered down at his phone screen and saw who he's staring at.
Monty.
He's on her Whatsapp, checking her status...the picture she posted at dusk.
"Monty Blair?" The man said.
"You know her?" Bronx took interest.
"C'mon, everyone knows this crypto witch. She lived in my street, right beside my house with her father. When her father died, she left the street" the man replied.
"Do you happen to know her weakness? She's a hardcore tomboy but she gotta have a weakness" Bronx stood.
"How deep do you want the weakness to be?" The man asked, taking Bronx's cigar from him.
Bronx's eyes darkened. "Everything you have on her"

[Next Morning, Monty's Mansion]
Tina spent the night here last night, and she woke up before Monty.
She's already sitting in the living room, staring blankly at the TV as Monty came downstairs, holding a bottle of brandy which she's drinking.
"So...Romeo likes Ixora?" She said, and that made Tina look up.
"Brandy early this morning? You're toxic" she said.
"Thank you" Monty widened her arms, taking her seat.
"So...yeah. Romeo happens to like the golden girl, and I still can't figure out why" Tina said, popping her lips habitually.
"She's rich, she's pretty, she has a perfect body, she's badass, you want me to continue?" Monty raised her shoulders.
"I'm rich too, pretty too, badass too, and I have a perfect body too! What are you saying!" Tina spranged up.
"Easy, I'm not the one who told him to like her" Monty rolled eyes, sweeping back her hair.
"I'm just glad it's Saturday today and we don't have to attend classes, otherwise I might just see him and go do something crazy" Tina said.
"Like grab his dîck publicly?" Monty teased.
"No, a kiss actually. I want those lips" Tina touched her lips.
"Poor you" Monty shook her head.
"You're not helping matters, how did we even become friends" Tina snickered, going upstairs.
"Poor lover girl!" Monty yelled after her.
"I hope your arse never grows!!!" Tina yelled back, and Monty laughed out loud, falling from the couch.

[Satan's Heirs Hideaway]
The Bash eventually happened last night, and the guys had the smashes of their lives.
The ladies are still in the house—twenty of them. They're roaming the house naked.
Some are in the kitchen, cooking with Konstantin supervising and fuçkin them as they cooked.
Multitasking is honeyed when it's the right combo.
There are heavy moans ricocheting off the kitchen walls as he smashed one against the kitchen cabinets.
He was pouring tomato juice on the arse of the lady, railing her from the back, the sounds so sticky.
Then there are sounds of frying tomatoes in the pan on the cooker as the other group of ladies cooked breakfast.
Ashton is sucking on the tîts of two ladies on his laps, sitting on the couch in the living room.
Capri had his fun fill last night, and no lady is allowed to come close to him again. He's currently slumbering.
Warren is in his room upstairs, and despite the fact that the bright lights are on, he doesn't feel it.
No lady is allowed in his room, so even the one he dîcked last night, he did it in the extra room, and she bled cos of his long lasting sèx battery life, but guess what?
She liked it.
Some ladies are daughters of darkness too, they just need devils like him to unravel it.
Her name is Anastasia, and she's still in the extra room, sleeping.
She needs it.
Warren left the bedroom and entered the room conjoined with it—the scan room.
Inside the room, there are array of inbuilt screens, and each of them are connected to Ixora's life.
One is connected to her bedroom, one to all her lecture halls in school, one to the supermarket she likes going with her mum, and one to the clothing store she likes going with her dad.
There's even another screen connected to the snack restaurant and cinema that she likes going with Nadine.
Her life is in the middle of his palms, but she has no idea.
How thrilling.
But the strange thing is that she's not showing in any of the cameras this morning.
Even last night, she didn't come back to her room to sleep.
Why is that? Where the hell is she?
He left the scan room and met Capri just coming into his bedroom.
"The first suspect of Evelyn's missing body is a man she poured water on at a restaurant last month. We should capture him today" Capri said.
Before Warren could reply, she got a call—a WhatsApp video call.
Seeing the number, a deep frown etched on his chiseled face.
It's Ixora's number.
Not saved, but he knows all the digits offhand.
He swiped green, and his jaws grinded hard.
He saw Matron, sitting on a chair with her mouth gagged and fear in her blinking eyes.
A gun barrel is on her left upper arm, and a finger is below the trigger, ready to pull and shoot her.
Warren stayed still, till Ixora's face came to view. She's the one holding the gun to Matron's arm.
"You have thirty minutes to find me and let's talk, or I'll shoot her exactly how you shot my mom, on the same spot" she said meanly, her voice ringing out like a hell's chant.
"I won't move a damn inch from this house. But if you don't shoot her in thirty minutes like you said, then I'll kill your father, drain his blood and bath you with it." Warren responded.
TBC.
