☆Brooklyn,Newyork city,8;35pm☆
~Grey house*
Three maids walked briskly to a door carrying different trays,all dressed in black.

“Who is going in?”The one in the middle scowled when they got to the top floor.

“I went last week ,there’s no way I’m going in again”the one on the left shifted back fearfully leaving the one on the right.

They both gave her a dark look and she swallowed hard. She took the other trays and gave the door a light knock.

No one answered so she knocked again.

“Just go in so we can leave, standing here alone is like digging our….graves”The one in the middle whispered.

The maid pushed the door open but the room was empty, at least she thought since it was pitch black in there,she hesitated a bit and made the sign of the cross before stepping in fully.

Dark smoke filled up the entire room mixed with the raw scent of burnt roses,the whole room cold and dark.

The maid kept shivering as she walked to a table where she made to set the food when…..

“What are you doing?”Aaron’s cold voice came from behind her,his black hair clinging to his face,he just came out from the bathroom so he’s upper body was bare.

“I asked you a question”Aaron said blankly,she flinched,and dropped the tray with everything on it.

Aaron stared down at the mess and his frown deepened and the maid fell to her knees,shuddering.

“Sir…sir please….your food…i”

“Who sent you?”Aaron said pulling out a gun.

“Sir…your mom..your mom…mmm..”

The maid hadn’t finished when the sound of gun shot sounded,she screamed madly but when she noticed her body was intact she ran out with her dear life. The other maids were long gone already.

Aaron dropped the gun and walked to the table,he picked up a half burnt cigarette and dropped it on the ash tray and lit up another stick.

His dark hair swayed across his face as he sat on the bed,his dark tats aligned from the nap of his neck down to his collar bone.

His phone chimed and he puffed on another smoke before picking it up with his ringed hand.

✉️Hey dude! You aren’t ditching us right?

✉️The guys are here,when are you coming?

✉️Skyle get your @zz down here!

✉️He ditched us for sure,I’m ki||ing that dude.

Aaron scoffed,he dropped the burnt stick,he wore his blue hoodie and left.

He took the elevator to the next floor and Immediately he got out the maids bowed in unison and the line went on till he walked past the dining.

Reed was seated on one of the chairs and immediately their eyes locked it was dagger glares.

Aaron smiled satisfactorily and titled his head like a pshyco.

“I can’t start my day without seeing that look on your face,peace…..its gives me peace”Aaron smirked coolly,pushed his hand into his pocket and walked out.

Reed scoffed and continued eating.

“Where is he?!”Ixora yelled rushing down the stairs

“Who?”Reed frowned.

“Where the heck is Skyle!”Ixora snapped.

“Why,he just left” Reed shrugged.

Ixora dashed out the door.

~
Aaron climbed his bike and started up.

“Sir the car is ready at the warehouse,I dropped it there as you asked”a driver said.

Aaron just nodded and took the car keys,he was about wearing his helmet when Ixora rushed out.

“Skyle ,where is my car?!!”Ixora yelled after him but he just tilted his head backwards with a devilish smirk and drove off.

“Skyle! Skyle!!”Ixora yelled madly and turned to the driver.

“Where is my car,i just bought it today,its the latest you were given only one job to bring it from the airport so where is my baby?!”Ixora grabbed the driver’s white collar.

“He asked for it,I still have four kids ma’am if I didn’t give him…..”

“Moron!” Ixora snapped and rushed back in.

“That little brat! How could he?! I’m calling dad right now,he either send him out or I’m leaving” Ixora fumed scanning her phone.

Reed laughed” He’d rather sell you than chase him out,he is more possessive about his nephew than you”

Ixora threw her phone angrily at him,it missed and shattered on the floor.

Reed’s phone rang and he picked it.

*Sir Skyle got to the diamonds first”the voice panicked.

“What?!”Reed yelled.

“What happened?”Ixora asked curiously.

“Skyle got to the diamonds,he knows we sent someone to steal it from the bank’s safe”Reed muttered,Ixora eyes widened.

“My precious diamonds!!!”Ixora screamed dramatically.

“I just want him dead,arggghh!”Ixora fumed rushing upstairs.

♧Private bar♧
•
The bar was empty,except the gang seating in there,it belonged to one of the gang members, Micheal’s dad had many such places all over the city but this was thier favourite spot,close to the college.

“He isn’t picking”Lennox scoffed.

“He switched off his phone”Angelo chuckled dropping his phone on the table.

“All in favor of ki||ing that dude?”Micheal chimed,his eyes focused on his phone.

Owen just sat silently on the sofa opposite with a wine glass.

“Hey dude,remember this chick?”Micheal asked facing his screen to Angelo.

“Oh yeah!,we had a threesome last month,her friend is nuts”Angelo chuckled.

“She’s a sucker for a quickie”Lennox said.

“She asked you to meet?”Angelo smirked.

“She has literally been begging,but she disgust me besides she’s not my type,I prefer chubby in special areas”Micheal grinned.

“Great then send the address,I’ll meet her on your behalf”Angelo winked.

“Pshyco”Owen chuckled.

“He’s here!”Lennox said from his headphone.

“Who?”

“The real pshyco”Micheal said staring at the door as Aaron came in.

“You got the diamonds?”Owen asked.

Two men walked in with two leather bags,they emptied it on the table and their mouths fell open.

Blue diamonds and Red emeralds covered the entire table,some even fell to the ground.

“It’s real?”Angelo smiled.

“How where you able to get it though,I thought your step cousins got them stolen already”Lennox said.

“I stole them back”Aaron shrugged, lit up a cigarette and sat beside Owen.

“So where is the fake? We need to make the exchange now”Micheal said.

Lennox brought out another bag and opened it,they looked the same almost the real thing.

“Are they real?”Angelo mumbled.

“Dad makes fakes incase he gets robbed,so I borrowed a few of ’em”Lennox smiled.

“Nice!”Lennox said.

“So let’s begin with the plan?”Aaron muttered dropping the burnt out stick.

“First let’s eat,we’ve been waiting for you”Angelo said and the waiters trooped in immediately.

The waiters placed the plates on the glass table between them and began pouring out the drinks.

Aaron was about to drink from a glass when the four pushed the glass and it fell to the ground.

“What the…?!”Aaron frowned.

“You’re allergic to pineapple!”They snapped.

“Are you crazy you almost drank your death!”Owen scoffed.

“Fire all the waiters that served us now!”Leenox faced one of the men and they nodded.

“Let’s go”Owen said and stood up with the rest.

“Aren’t we eating anymore?”Angelo pouted.

“No!”They snapped.

“Because of Aaron?”Angelo said.

“We’ve lost our appetite”Lennox said.

♧Florida,9;45♧
~
Sia stared at the empty house with sadness filled in her eyes,the walls were washed out and the ceiling was at it’s last moments,there was only one furniture a ragged chair but the memories they held were worth riches,so she found it difficult to even think of moving far away.

“I can’t believe we are finally leaving” Sia muttered sadly.

“Yes and we have to leave now if we don’t want to miss our flight”Camila said dragging the rest of the bags out.

Sia sighed and stared at where her designs used to be hung,it had patches of each paper pasted up there.

“Gus managed to prepare our passport and visa on such short notice,so we can’t miss it and i promised to get you into a good college”Camila said.

“Here”Camila handed her a small bag. “You are only allowed to carry this”

The driver walked in and packed the rest of the two bags into the car.

“We have thirty minutes to reach the airport ma’am”the driver said.

“I’m sorry let’s leave,cuddles let’s go”Camila yelled and Sia entered the car.

The driver drove pass their house and tears slipped out Sia’s eyes.

“Do you think I’ll make friends in Newyork? I heard rich kids there are ruthless”Sia suddenly mumbled.

“Sweetheart, you’re so loveable anyone who wouldn’t love must be heartless”Camila smiled pulling slightly on her cheeks.

Sia hugged her,Camila pulled her head to her laps and patted her hair gently.

*New york,Airport*
~
The trip took about ten hours,they got out the airplane and Sia had to wait for Camila to make a few phone calls.

“I got a call from Gus,he said the pick up driver would be holding up a sign with our names”Camila said ,she looked so stressed already.

Sia stared around and sure enough she saw a middle aged man holding up a card with Miss Hernandez on it.

Camila spotted it too,she grabbed thier three bags and walked to the car.

Sia followed behind admiring the view.

“Good day ma’am!”The driver said,Sia snapped out her thought and smiled genuinely.

“I’m sorry”She mumbled and entered the car.

Sia kept staring at the big houses as they drove through the beautiful streets,they passed a neon signboard with “Welcome to Newyork”

“The city of love” Sia muttered.

The ride took hours but suddenly the car came to a halt.

“What happened?”Camila asked.

“I’m sorry ma’am we ran out of fuel and there is a traffic ahead” the driver said.

“Is there anywhere we can wait?”Camila asked.

“You can wait in the car,I’ll get a cab”the driver said and left,all this while Sia stared curiously ahead at the traffic.

“What’s going on there?”Sia mumbled.

“I need to use the restroom”Sia said and got down the car.

“Do you even know anywhere around here?”Camila asked.

“I’ll ask around,I’ll be quick” Sia said and got down the car before Camila could protest.

Sia managed to find the restroom but it was filled so she left,she noticed the huge crowd ahead that was probably causing the traffic,her curiosity got the best of her and she was walking down to join the crowd.

“What’s going on here?”Sia said but no one answered.

“The dude picked the wrong people to mess with today”she heard someone snicker and that got her more curious so she pushed through the crowd but maybe she shouldn’t have cos her heart skipped beats at the bloody scene.

Two cars were parked with a fallen bike in the middle.

The guy looked half dead with blood dripping down his face. Lennox foot pinned his right hand to the floor and Owen pinned the left.

“I asked you a question,i h@ťě repeating myself”Aaron said coldly,he was seated on a white suv,smoking.

Angelo held a knife and Micheal kept playing with a gun.

“I….I swear Skyle…you…you took the diamonds already so how can I be with it? Please spare me!”The guy begged. Lennox placed more pressure on the hand and he yelled out in pain.

“They are gonna ki|| him!”Sia gasped fearfully,her eyes went to Aaron and she got chills just staring at his tats.

Micheal caught her admist the crowd and he kept staring.

“You are wasting my time”Aaron said coldly,he took the gun from Micheal .

“Someone stop them!”Sia said but no one was interested. She got scared and panicked and she didn’t know what to do but she suddenly saw a stone,she picked it up and threw it.

But with her luck it went straight for the Suv’s glass and it shattered.

“What the?!”Angelo gasped.

Everyone cleared way for her immediately, she gulped down and blinked innocently.

Aaron and the rest turned to the car but before they could turn back to Sia,she dashed out like the wind.

“What the?!”

“Is she crazy?!’Owen muttered.

“Is it crazy to say I’ve fallen in love?”Angelo uttered.

“Then I’ll prepare two coffins”Micheal muttered.

“Why?”Angelo smirked.

“Because Aaron will ki|| her for sure just forget it”Lennox said.
