EATERY*

July carried the tray of food and sat down at a table.

“Here, I got you a cup of coffee,” July said, and Maya looked up.

“Thank you,” Maya replied, taking a sip of the coffee.

“Are you really sure about what you said earlier?” July asked, and Maya shrugged before placing the mug on the table.

“Antonio is a big bastard if I don’t stop him, then who else will? No one wants to go on this mission.” Maya stopped talking when July spoke up.

“Because they know they won’t make it out alive, that’s why Senior Grayson didn’t accept this mission, he’s obviously scared of him too. No one can bring the Almighty Antonio down. No one will.” July spat at her, and Maya took July’s hand, caressing it.

“Do you have faith in me?” Maya asked.

“I do,” July replied.

“You have trust in me, right?” Maya asked.

“I do, but…”

“No buts, okay? I’ll go on this mission, and nothing will happen to me, and you either choose to go with me or stay back,” Maya said.

July scoffed.

“I’d never go with you on that bloody mission. I love my life.”

Maya scoffed.

“Then you stay back till I complete my mission.”

“Which mission?” July reminded her.

“Emily hasn’t even agreed to it.”

“She will,” Maya muttered, focusing on what she was doing.

LION HELL CLAN*

The clashing of swords and the $h00ting of guns could clearly be heard as they practiced.

“Hurray, I won again!” Jerry squealed, and Spider rolled her eyes.

The two of them are best friends in the clan.

“Both of us know you cheated, f-__-k you,” Spider muttered.

“Cheat? You clearly use that word every f-__-king time I won, but I’m not falling for that silly trick,” Jerry whispered and threw the sword away.

Spider scoffed.

“I’m outta here,” Jerry muttered, and on his way out, he saw Vinegar.

She’s the silent type, an introvert, and she and Hotdogg are very good hackers she’s excellent at that.

She has never ki||ed anyone before and hasn’t even gone on a mission, when Antonio asked her to ki|| her stepbrother for the first time, she felt miserable, and his blood still stung her hand.

“Hey, silent babe,” Jerry waved at her, but Vinegar didn’t even look his way.

“You don’t have to be quiet on me I h@ťě snubbing,” Jerry said to her, and Vinegar stood up and walked out.

“Woah, did she just snub me?” he asked again.

“Hey, silent babe,” Jerry called and wanted to go after her when Spider stopped him.

“Just let her go as you know, she’s not worth it,” Spider muttered.

They both stopped when they had an argument, and Spider looked in the direction her twin sister was at it again, she’s the lousy type.

“f-__-k you! how dare you try to hit on my babe?” Speedy asked.

“I didn’t try to hit on anyone, your f-__-king babe came to me first, I didn’t go to him,” Minnie said.

“I trust my babe he wouldn’t do that to me,” Speedy shouted again.

“You trust your babe why don’t you hold on to him? He’s a big-time flirt,” Minnie said.

Pussycat just watched the show go on as she flexed herself with her bubble gum.

“Babe, please, enough,” Max said.

“You don’t f-__-king stop me I need to teach this idiot a lesson so she’ll stay in line,” Speedy shouted, her voice roaring dangerously.

“I told you to stop,” Max yelled angrily, but Speedy slapped him.

“Don’t f-__-king yell at me when I’m in an argument,” Speedy said.

Minnie scoffed.

“You haven’t kept yourself in check how are you going to keep him in check?” Minnie asked.

“What did you say?” Speedy asked.

“Go ask your father,” Minnie shouted, and Spider dragged her from behind.

“Don’t you ever mention my father’s name in an argument,it’s her you’re fighting with, right? Then face her don’t f-__-king mention my father’s name,” Spider yelled.

“Oh, have forgotten about the dummy twin?” Minnie chuckled.

“You…” Speedy raised her fingers, but just then, an arrow was shot, and it pierced through Speedy’s ear.

“Who the f-__-k did that?” Speedy angrily asked.

“I did,” Drake muttered and jumped down he’s the second in command after Antonio.

“What’s the fight all about?” Drake asked

No reply.

“I f-__-king asked you all a question,” he shouted.

“It’s Speedy again, she claims that Minnie was hitting on Max,” Pussycat said, and Speedy gave her a deadly glare.

“Was that true?” Drake asked.

“Yeah, I saw them with my own very eyes,” Speedy muttered.

“And you decided to create a commotion?” he asked.

“I’m sorry,” Speedy said.

“For what you did, you’re going to clear all the grass in the garden till noon,” Drake muttered and left.

“Case closed,” Jerry said.

ANTONIO SUITE**

Loud, thick, and heavy smoke filled the room as Antonio kept smoking non-stop.

The door squeaked open, and Skylar entered, she walked to Antonio and began trailing kisses on his tattoo.

Antonio didn’t even budge she trailed her hand through his broad chest, then she began moving her hand to his trousers, she was about to unbutton his belt when he grabbed her hand and threw her away with just a fling.

Her back landed on the wall !! thank goodness she’s a strong girl.

“Don,” she called, and Antonio looked at her.

“Get out,” he yelled.

“But I haven’t even done my job,” Skylar said.

“I said get out,” he yelled again, and she quickly ran out of his room.

He ruffled his hair and puffed out his heavy smoke from his weed.

As soon as Skylar left, Drake entered the room.

“Hey, bud,” Drake muttered.

“I’m not in the mood for all this,” Antonio whispered.

“You can’t be serious, now, are you?” Drake asked.

“Gather some of them, they’ll be escorting me for the exchanges tonight,” Antonio told him and walked toward his bathroom.

“What a coldly jerk,” Drake mumbled under his breath.

✧✧✧✧

MAYA OFFICE*

Maya was flipping through some files, cases she needed to solve, when the door opened and Emily’s secretary entered.

“Good day, ma’am,” the secretary said, and Maya smiled.

“Why are you here?” Maya asked.

“The commissioner has sent for you,” the secretary said, and her smile grew wider.

“I’ll be there in just two minutes,” Maya replied, and the secretary left.

“Yes, I knew she was going to agree,” Maya squealed.

She rounded up checking the file and left for the conference meeting.

Grayson was already seated, and she walked and sat down beside him.

Emily sat down in the middle of the long chair and table.

“Okay, now that Maya has volunteered to go on this mission, I support her in this, let’s just give her a try,” Emily said, and Maya smiled.

The projector turned on, and a picture of Antonio started showing.

“But Maya is a police officer! Antonio can surely dig into her background,” Grayson said.

“We thought ahead of plan,” Emily muttered.

“Like we all know, Maya’s picture has never been posted on any social internet, thank goodness Maya suggested that a long time ago. She said she doesn’t want to be popular, and she’s the shy type, she’s scared of those fans. She said she isn’t ready to be known as the ski||ed police officer who fights crimes she wasn’t ready to accept her popularity,” Emily said, and Maya nodded.

“So no one knew she’s a police officer till now, she’s still that anonymous. So, it won’t be easy for Antonio to dig into her police history since there isn’t any record of her being a police officer,” Emily muttered.

“So now Maya is going to have another background, her same background, but the part of her being a police officer is still unknown to others. We all know that Antonio goes to this particular club… Socket clubs. We’re not totally sure whether Antonio is going to come to that club today, but we have to be ahead. Maya is going to sign the form of a dancer, she’s going to be working in that club till the next plan commences,” Emily said.

“And Maya, I hope you can dance?” Emily asked.

“It’s been a long time since I pulled that stunt, but I’m going to do some rehearsal before I go to the club tonight,” Maya said.

“Don’t fail us, Maya! we trust in you,” Emily said.

“I know, sir, but can July be my accomplice?” Maya asked.

“Sure,” Emily said.

Today was the day Antonio was going to go down… She was sure of it.

LION HELL CLAN*

Drake finished selecting the people who would be escorting Antonio.

Their pairs were as follows

*Speedy and Jerry,

*Pussycat and Skylar,

*Jupiter and Drake with Antonio.

They were all dressed in black from head to toe.

Antonio suddenly came out with a smoke in his mouth.

There were three Royces in front of the empire, and their pairs were asked to get into the cars.

They began entering, and Antonio’s set was the first to drive off.

Jupiter was the one driving.

Hotdogg and Vinegar stayed back they would be the ones telling them about the stunt coming their way.

✧✧✧✧

SOCKETT CLUB*

The car parked into the parking lot, and they all got down Antonio showed the security guard his ID card, and they let him in without any hesitation.

They entered, and he spotted his client, he quickly walked and went to sit down beside him.

Jupiter and Speedy waited outside to do security guard duty.

Drake brought out the suitcase containing hard drugs and showed it to Hellfire, he smirked and signaled his guard to bring out the box filled with money.

They exchanged it, and Drake opened the suitcase to confirm whether the money was real

“Confirmed,” he smirked and took the money outside.

Antonio made to leave when the slow music started, and he halted on his step, soon the music went from slow to crazy, and Maya began dancing to the tune of the song.

She held the pole and arched her back, then began twisting her waist, her booty was shaking really hard, and the lustful men’s eyes rolled on her some began flashing money at her.

Her concern was Antonio, who was looking at her his eyes were dark, and they sparkled when their eyes came into touch.

She bent down and raised up, the music giving her vibes, she was dancing crazily and left the stage, walking to Antonio.

Then her hand began trailing down, his clothes were slightly open, so she dipped her hand and could feel his hard chest.

This was the first time she was going to meet the devil, the monster whose screams were like music to his ear, the beast who didn’t have a heart this was her first time.

And she wouldn’t lie he was dangerous and reeked of danger – his scent smelled of death.

She caressed her hand on his muscles, and his muscles felt alive and relaxed again

Only if she knew how much her touch did wonders in his body, only if she knew what she was getting into, only if she knew what she was messing with.

The devil king who had stolen the throne right from his death.

Maya’s mouth moved to his ear, her loud, fresh breath melting his skin

“Take me whole, Antonio,” she whispered melodiously with her melodious voice.

Antonio’s swift reaction involved lifting her up, her legs entwining around his torso, and his hand spanking her @zz, eliciting a soft yet tantalizing heavy Mõ@ɲ from her.
