Challenge has always felt like a sweet nectar on Warren's tongue—like the taste of a female cûm.
It pleasures him.
He might have lost his sense of taste for food, but his hedonist taste bud is still intact, and right now the deliciousness on his soul is unmatched.
To her, she's bold.
But to him, she's inviting him to stain her, and he's gonna take that a lil bit too serious.
Over her dead body?
Nah, it'd be over the dead body of someone else.
She'd shed the tears till her tear gland runs dry, and he'd watch.
The left part of his lips raised in a smirk, so dark that Ixora gulped for the third time.
"Knife" he spoke, and Konstantin threw him the knife which he caught.
Using the knife, he painstakingly scooped the saliva from his skin.
Then he brought the saliva-soaked knife to her chest and smeared it there, right above her cleavage.
Ixora froze, feeling the sharp edge of the cold knife on her soft skin as the saliva saturated.
He then lifted the knife to her neck and gave her a long cut which made her shudder.
She could instantly feel her blood running over the cut.
"What are you doing!" She tried moving away, but then she remembered her bikini in his hold.
‘Don't move, Ixora, or these morons would have a feast of your precious nakedness’ her mind told her.
She stayed still, and her chest hammered with unsaid fear when Warren darted out his tongue, placing it on her cut neck and licking off the blood.
She clearly saw her blood on his tongue before he took the tongue back into his mouth.
Her mouth widened.
Warren swallowed the blood, and she released harrumphed breaths, struggling and not minding the price anymore.
She just wants to break free from this serpent.
Her bikini made a low sound as it tore slightly at the lower back, and Konstantine's eyes twitched.
"I would stay still if I were you" Ashton spoke, swirling a pop on his fingers.
"Why should she? I love me a good strip show" Konstantin replied interestedly.
Roughly, Warren let her go, and she landed on the ground this time, quickly covering her chest with her arms.
Blood is starting to trickle out of her cut neck again.
"My blood will haunt you" She muttered, her hair covering half of her face
"I'm the haunter myself, little lair." Warren boomed.
"And over your dead body?" His brows cinched, "I'll show you a dead body, it just won't be yours. I have no plans to kill you"
And with that, he's walking out of the place.
Ixora was sniffling as she watched his co-madmen trail after him till they went south of the forest, going out of sight like they were never here.
She swept her hair away from her face, then she tried standing up, but immediately she did, her bikini tore more at the back, and she stilled.
He must have destroyed the material with his strong hold.
The tearing reached her butt, and right now her panty is out.
It's even worse cos she's wearing g-strings, so half of her @ss is visible presently.
Shyt!
"Ixora!!" Romeo's voice came, and her eyes widened as she faced the part where his voice came from. She turned her exposed arse to the other side, still covering herself with her arms.
"Ixora!!!" Romeo's distorted voice came again, and he finally jumped down a tree log not far from her.
His eyes widened.
"Ixora!"
He was already taking off his jacket as he ran to her.
"Romeo" she muttered, shocked to see his muddled face and clothes.
"I'm so sorry, very sorry. I'm sorry" he apologized severally, taking off his shirt too and leaving himself shirtless.
He wiped the mud in his jacket and shirt on his trousers, cleaning them.
He wore the shirt for her first, then he wore the jacket on top, covering her completely.
"But it's cold, you can't walk this cold forest without any shirt on" she said.
"I'm fine" he replied, bringing a small healing lotion tube out of his pocket.
"Do you take this everywhere?" She asked, taking a look at his toned body and defined abs before looking at his face again.
"Yeah, I purchased it in case you got wounded during field games in school" he replied, applying the lotion on her neck.
"Ashh!" She winced.
"I'm sorry" he quickly said.
"Can you stop saying sorry everytime?" She replied.
He brought out healing patches from his pocket too, attaching one to the cut before squatting in front of her.
"Get on my back" he told her.
"But—"
"Madam Stonia pays me monthly for this, so get on. She and your dad are in school already" he cut her off.
Reluctantly, she climbed his back, and he stood, his tallness mystifying her as he began walking.
She wrapped her arms on his neck.
"What did they do to you? Did they touch you inappropriately?" He asked, climbing down the log.
"No, just this cut. And can you not tell mum that they're the ones who took me?" She replied, and he stopped walking.
"Are you kidding? They kidnapped you, wounded you, almost left you naked, but you're keeping it a secret? So what are you gonna say?"
"Nothing, they're just not the ones" she replied.
"Is this because of guilt? I wasn't your driver three years ago but at least I heard the story. Evelyn owns the blame so stop giving them more reasons to act like gods. These felons will do anything to achieve their aim especially the W one" he said.
"I know what I'm doing, Romeo, and you sound like you have a personal problem with the W one" she replied, and he finally resumed walking.
"Everyone knows he's satanic, I mean...we all heard of his fame in jail cos of his brutality" he replied, and Ixora's mind went to her pet fish and the way he licked her blood.
She pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind as fast as possible though.
Splash is gone and gone for good, and she hopes her blood gives him kwashiorkor.
"I'm not too heavy, am I?" She said.
"You're not too heavy for me" he replied, adjusting her, and she slightly smiled.
"Xoxo!!!" Nadine's babyish voice found them, and she gasped when she saw her running towards them.
"Nad!" She waved an hand, but Romeo still didn't drop her even after Nadine got to them.
"Oh my gawd! The whole school is worried about you, your parents even came and—"
Nadine stopped talking when she saw her patched neck, and she gasped.
"Did they hurt you? Wait...they didn't rape you, did they?"
"No, I'm fine, and they're not the ones who took me" Ixora replied.
Nadine frowned in confusion, but before she could say anything else, two cops got to them, then three and four...
Till the rest of the cops met them there with Rafael and Stonia.
Romeo finally dropped Ixora from his back.
"My love, oh my! Your neck!!" Stonia half-screamed.
"It's fine, I'm fine. It was a cut from a tree branch" Ixora lied.
"What are they called again? Satan's Heirs? Get all four of them arrested in thirty minutes time" Rafael told the cops.
"And who said they're the ones who took me?" Ixora replied, and they all faced her.
"They're not the ones? Then who?" Rafael squinted.
"They're just not" Ixora insisted.
"Tell me, did they threaten you? Huh? Did they? Is that why you're covering for them?" Stonia held her shoulders.
"No mum, I didn't even see them so leave it at that. They didn't take me" Ixora replied.
"My love, don't lie to—"
"I said no" Ixora frowned, and Stonia faced Rafael who looks just as confused.
What's their daughter not telling them?
Nadine shifted closer to Romeo.
"You think they threatened her?" She whispered.
Romeo couldn't reply, he didn't even hear her.
His eyes and mind are on Ixora again.

[ILC, Stadium]
The fringe in Tina's hair is already sticking to her forehead as a result of sweat.
She just finished playing the third round of basketball with Monty, and they both took off their sports top at the same time.
Tina is left in her bra while Monty is left in her male singlet as they sat on the glass bench, not minding the boys playing football around them.
"Oh... finally some rest. The missing bîtch has been found" Tina said, scrolling on her phone with her right hand while drinking bottled water with the left.
"Dead or alive?" Monty asked, fanning herself.
"According to the campus news, she claimed Satan's Heirs aren't the ones who took her" Tina replied.
"I guess Warren threatened her with something" Monty said.
"Or Konstantin, yunno sometimes I wonder who's the wickedest among the two" Tina laughed.
"Are you still visiting Romeo's dad saloon tonight?" Monty went off topic.
"Of course, gotta wear something nice. He only needs to agree to be mine, I'll be loyal. I'm not like Kelsey" Tina stood.
"I still can't believe you sent Warren her dîck list, girl. You're cruel" Monty grinned.
"Oh...so this is it?" Kelsey said behind them, and they exchanged glances before turning around to see Kelsey and Serena on top.
"I knew I smelt a cheater" Tina scorned.
"You sent the list? And I got my finger broken cos of it? How dare you!" Kelsey rushed down to meet them.
She attempted to attack Tina, but Monty blocked her and shoved her aside.
Kelsey staggered, almost landing on the ground.
"Good thing you talked about your broken finger, even with your fingers intact, I'd thrash you. Think about now that you have nine and a half" Monty mocked.
"You're into Bitcoin, right? Watch how I mess with you till you go broke so bad that students will have to raise funds for you" Kelsey sneered.
"You're welcome to try" Monty replied confidently.
"Kelsey, let's leave" Serena said from the top of the stairs.
Kelsey gave both Tina and Monty the final looks before climbing up to meet Serena.
They stepped away, and Monty faced Tina.
"That was a good show, wasn't it?" She winked.
"Enjoyed every bit of it" Tina excitedly stuck hands with her.
From the far back of the stadium, Bronx sat like an evil-sent, watching the two especially Monty.

[Home Of The Homeless]
The building is a charity home, built by Elder Creed to take care of the homeless.
Beggars in the streets, oldies and the powerless from slums come here to sleep and eat everyday.
The house is noisy right now cos Matron and the wheelchair maid—Lydia, are busy serving breakfast to the people.
Matron actually came here before Elder Creed and Lydia, and that's why she wasn't in the car with them earlier.
Elder Creed is on his wheelchair in the middle of the place, playing with the baby of one of the homeless women.
The serving of breakfast took roughly one hour, and when they were done, the baby already fell asleep on Elder Creed's laps.
Lydia took the baby from him to go give to the mother, then Matron sat in front of the elder.
"You have something to say?" He said gruffly.
"I think you should tell Warren the real reason you didn't save him from jail three years ago. He wouldn't hate you this much if you tell him" the woman convinced, and Elder Creed rested back, grunting lowly.
"Hate is another weapon, ya know? The hate he harbours for me won't go to waste after all. It'd empower him, and I'm looking forward to that" he said curtly, and Matron didn't even try to push further anymore.
Lydia came back, then she began wheeling him out of the house.
"The jalopy driver who hit Evelyn, where's he?" Elder Creed asked when they got to the car.
"Mrs. Ortega threw him in jail, but he kept saying he knows nothing about the missing body" Lydia replied.
"Get me the list of people Evelyn had beef with before her death" Elder Creed said.
"Yes, sire" Lydia replied, wheeling him into the car.
Together with Matron, they drove off.

[Satan's Heirs Hideaway]
It's a real busy house right now as everyone has something they're doing.
Warren is sitting majestically on the black leather couch, a laptop in front of him which he's working on.
Konstantin is shirtless, and he's with a laptop too, sitting on top of the rails.
Capri is beside the burner, legs stretched as he worked on another laptop.
Ashton is equally with a laptop, sitting by the base of the stairs.
All of them are making investigations about Ixora, except Capri.
Capri is planning tonight's Bash, he's busy booking slûts from Instagram.
"She untied the knots I tied her with in the forest, and that's the first anomaly" Konstantin said.
"She lifted the chair and was bold enough to want to smash War with it, second anomaly" Ashton added.
"Her mother, Stonia is the ex vice-president of this country" Konstantin said.
"Everyone knows that" Ashton replied.
"And she's a black belt holder of taekwondo" Konstantin further read.
"Interesting" he added.
"Pet girl learnt one or two from her, but not too much" Ashton replied.
"Pet girl beat bullies when she was in highschool, according to another record I'm seeing here" Capri spoke.
"Weren't you planning the Bash? When did you start investigating too?" Ashton rolled eyes.
"I couldn't stop my fingers from typing Ixora Rhodes, jackass" Capri replied with his middle finger stuck up.
When they all noticed Warren's silence, their heads moved to him in sync, and they saw him staring deep into his laptop.
He's seeing everything they're reading on his own screen too, but his mind is faraway.
Right now he's visualizing his first day in jail, that bitter day.
—Flashback, 3 Yrs Ago—
The court ruled Warren Creed guilty after every proof of his innocence were torn apart, and he was left helpless as he walked with a prison guard towards his prison room.
His legs were trembling on the chilled cemented floor of the penitentiary since his shoes were taken too.
He's barefoot.
He kept looking at his orange-colpur jail uniform repeatedly, not believing he's actually a prisoner now.
The prisoners in other rooms gave him unwelcomed looks as if he's here to take their joy or something, and those looks were enough to make him trip.
He fell on the ground without getting pushed, and they all bursted into laughter from their cells.
"You think you have the right to fall? Huh?" The guard kicked his tummy, and he rolled to a cell gate, his body slamming on it.
"Ahh!!" Warren's cries were sharp as that spot peeled and bled.
"You killed a person! You killed the richest man in this city who's loved by everyone! You killed him! Why? Cos he's overshadowing your father? Huh!!" The guard pulled him up and kicked him again.
The kick threw Warren back to the ground, and his forehead bled as he hit it hard on a pillar.
"Now that you killed him, your father becomes the most important man in this city, isn't it? But you know what I like your father for? The fact that he didn't help you! Elder Creed is a good person but you're a stain in his life animal!!" The guard pounded his head to the gate, and blood covered Warren's eyes, blurring his vision.
—Present Time—
Warren is still staring into the laptop as the prison scene bloodied his head.
"War?" Konstantin called from the rails, and Warren stirred, then his fingers began moving on the laptop keys again.
"I got a list of the people Evelyn had beef with before her death, all of them would be investigated, but what's your plan for tonight?" Ashton asked.
Warren looked at his screen again, and the brightness from the screen did nothing to lessen the darkness that appeared in his eyes afterwards.
Chocolata Maxima—Stonia's company, will be having a press conference tonight, and he'd be there.
He shutdown the laptop and stood, his hair falling lusciously over his eyes.
"Y'all can party, I'll take care of it myself" he said.
"No one is partying, whatever you do, we partake in" Konstantin spoke.
"Apt" Ashton said.

[Stonia's Mansion]
Truly, Splash's glass aquarium is empty when Ixora arrived at her room with Nadine.
Nadine followed her home from school actually.
"Where's Splash?" Nadine noticed.
"I... returned it to the sea" Ixora lied.
"What! You love it more than anything so why?" Nadine gasped.
"Don't ask about it, Nad. I really really don't wanna talk 'bout it" Ixora replied, and Nadine shrugged, falling heavily on the bed.
How were the devils' able to enter this house with the tight security?
That thought was still baffling Ixora till she heard her phone ringing.
It's "Dad" calling.
"Dad?" She picked.
"You home already?" Rafael asked.
"Just now, you?" She asked.
"I'm back to the office since there's a lot to do. Make sure you eat, ok? and rest. Or you want me to go home and cook for you? I'll bring it to you myself, you know your dad is a good chef" Rafael said.
"I already ate, and I'm fine" Ixora smiled.
"Check your backpack, I got you a gift, and make sure you rest like I said, you don't have to follow Stonia to her darn press conference" he said.
"Thanks dad" she smiled wider, hanging up.
She checked her backpack, and her eyes widened when she saw the diamond-studded anklet in the velvet box.
"My gawd, it's so beautiful!" Nadine gushed.
"I know, right? Dad is sèxy" Ixora kissed the anklet.
Nadine took the ankled from her and began helping her fix it around her left ankle when Stonia came in.
"Did Rafael get you that?" She asked, hate coating her voice and eyes.
"Yeah, isn't it so pretty?" Ixora smiled up at her.
"Pretty my foot" Stonia rolled eyes, and Ixora drawled...
"Muuuum"
"Whatever, it's almost time for my press conference, and I'm off to start dressing up. You won't be able to follow me like you always do, your neck is—"
"I'm following you" Ixora intruded, coming down from the bed after wearing the anklet.
"Seriously?" Stonia's eyes brightened.
"I'll pick your dress" Nadine offered.
"No I'll do it" Serena came into the room, and Nadine scoffed.
"Cool, help her pick her dress Serena. I'll be ready in twenty" Stonia blew Ixora a kiss before rushing out
"And when did this start? I mean...you picking my dress?" Ixora faced Serena.
"Cos I want to?" Serena smiled.
"Acting saint at home just to deceive my mum will not work on me, so get the hell out of my room" Ixora pointed strictly at the door.
"Duhh" Serena rolled eyes.
Her eyes caught the madly beautiful anklet on Ixora's ankle, and she felt like ripping it off immediately.
She eventually left the room, slamming the door shut.
"Finally a breath of fresh air" Nadine fanned herself with her fingers, facing Ixora.
"I'll do your makeover, and don't worry, there's a concealer to hide your neck patch" she said.
"You're welcome" Ixora grinned, staring out of the window.
Stonia Martinez was the vice-president of the US before she got involved in bribery and was stepped down from the office, but that still didn't stop her from shinning.
That didn't stop her from owning the biggest chocolate company globally.
Maybe it's hightime to be her mother's daughter like Nadine said.
She'd be thick-skinned and pretend like she didn't give the fake testimony three years ago.
She'd turn blind eye to the bad talks of the people and ignore the antics of Warren and his gang.
She'd be a callous bîtch like her mother.
She smiled and zipped down her gown, letting it fall off her perfect body.
"You and g-strings" Nadine commented.
"Best friends forever, even you can't separate us" Ixora replied, caressing her own arse, and Nadine laughed as they entered her enthralling wide closet together to pick her dress.

[Ford Saloon]
It's a small shop in a tight alley, only patronized by touts and thugs of the slums surrounding it.
Mr. Ford—Romeo and Bethel's father, is the owner, and he might not be rich, but he does everything in his might to take care of his own.
The shop is at the outer part of their apartment, and their apartment is in the inside part.
It's a two room apartment—a room for Bethel, and the second one for Romeo and Mr. Ford to share.
There's only one customer in the shop right now, and Romeo is the one barbing for him since Mr. Ford is currently eating.
Romeo understands barbing even more than his father.
Bethel grumbled, coming into the shop with an empty plate of food.
"What?" Romeo glared, turning off the clipper.
"I'm not full yet, the food is too small!" She grumbled again, her shirt already slack on the neck.
"Don't you know the law of managing? You ate the largest portion of the Mexican rice bowl" Romeo glared again.
"It's not my fault I have a large stomach" she replied, licking her spoon.
"Come eat mine with me" Mr. Ford spoke, and she squealed loudly.
"Dad you're a lot better than Romeo" she twisted in a fast dance, rushing to the smiling man with her spoon.
They began eating together, and the happy man stroked her small head fondly.
He's a tall agile man with scars on his left arm and scanty grey strands among his dark hair.
Romeo scoffed at Bethel, then he returned to the barbing he was doing.
"Hello here!!" A familiar voice filtered into the saloon as someone entered.
Bethel spranged up from her chair with her spoon hung in her mouth, and Romeo turned to the door.
His eyes thinned in disbelief. "Tina?"
--
[A Press Hall]
The time is exactly 7:pm when Stonia's cyber truck grinded to a gentle halt in front of the building.
Guards rushed to open the two backdoors, and Stonia came out of the right side while Ixora came out of the left, both looking like twins.
Ixora's resemblance with her mum is more than half, and they're both fuckin beautiful.
Stonia proudly held her daughter's hand, and Ixora followed her lead as they walked in together
This conference should have happened in the afternoon, but Ixora's missing case ruined it, so it has to be now.
"What will you be announcing anyways?" Ixora asked.
"Be in suspense till we get inside, my love" Stonia replied as array of cameras bathed their faces with shuttering lights.
There are reporters standing by, feeding their lenses.
The managers and chocolate experts at the company are also trailing behind then like entourages, the crowd so big.
Stonia Martinez is a big name, obviously.
Getting to the hall, Stonia went to the front with her managers while Ixora sat in front of the crowd, watching her mother with a smile as she stepped in front of the voice address system.
"Chocolata Maxima has been doing well with several branches in different countries for years now, but then...the expansion hasn't stopped, not even for once, and this press conference is to announce the opening of the South African branch in cape town" she said.
"Oh my gosh!!" Ixora was the first to stand with claps before the small crowd joined her.
The camera shutters became more and more frequent, almost blinding.
"Congratulations mum!" Ixora's excitement made her rush up the stage to give Stonia a tight hug.
"Told ya, you'd be surprised. Your mum just got richer" Stonia pecked her with a chuckle.
"I'm proud of you" Ixora smiled widely.
The invited guests began coming up to say their congratulations too, so Ixora started walking back to her seat.
But then, the tiny hair at the back of her neck began standing one by one, giving her undeniable chills.
She turned around in a fast swirl, expecting to see him among the crowd, but he's nowhere to be found.
She looked at her mother who's still receiving congratulations, then she turned back to the crowd again, looking confused.
Where is he?
He has texted her before, so she got her phone and texted him back in that same number.
Ixora: Show yourself, coward. Trust-fund-depending coward!
Immediately she clicked SEND, he indeed showed himself, but not in person.
He showed himself by the sound of a gunshot which rippled through the whole hall.
Even the several smart securities couldn't decipher where it came from.
Screams of terror rounded the hall as the reporters began running out for their lives, slamming into each other.
"Oh my gawd! Mrs. Martinez!!" One of the managers screamed, and Ixora turned on her hot heels.
The scene she met made her blood run cold.
Stonia is in blood.
She's the one who was shot.
"Mum!!!!!!!!"
