#UNEDITED
3RD RESIDENTIAL WING*
By the time Adeline got back, it was another story entirely.
She met Loud pointing a gun at his own head, ready to shoot while Malik is struggling to stop him.
"What the fûck! Loud?" She rushed forward.
"Talk to him, he's gonna murder himself!" Malik said urgently, and when she made to take the gun from him, he shifted away.
"Sam stop this! Don't pull the trigger!" She said horrifically.
"Your so-called crush told me to kill myself. Who am I to say no?" Loud replied, and Adeline's eyes came wide.
"What!"
"Yeah... Death called and told him to shoot himself" Malik replied.
"No... Don't... Don't do it... I'll go to the manor right now and talk to Madden myself and...
"You think he'd listen to you? Stop being delusional! This man has no heart beating in his chest and he listens to no one! You think he'd make an exception for you? You think you're special to him? You're only a toy he uses to satisfy himself and..."
Loud stopped talking at this point, and Adeline couldn't believe her ears.
"I didn't mean the last part" Loud muttered quickly, and that was when Jinx ran in with Poe.
"What's going on?" Jinx asked shockingly.
"Death probably ordered him to kill himself. It's not his first time of giving the self-kill order" Poe replied when she saw Loud aiming for himself.
"Don't shoot the gun, Micheal will talk to Death" Jinx said.
"He's not gonna listen to her" Loud replied.
"Why are you suddenly behaving like you know Death more than anyone?" Malik suddenly said.
"Ion need to be closer to know his personality. We all see the way he does things" Loud replied.
"You started all these yunno? Death ordered us to bring her back to the clan immediately we found her, but you made her drink at the grill, and we returned late,. You expect Death to be ok with that? I'm wondering why he's not skinning you alive yet" Poe stonily said.
"Wait .. you reported to Master?" Jinx said.
"Yes. Since we found her in the morning, I texted him that Loud was the one delaying us" Poe replied, and Jinx immediately landed a hard slap on Poe's face.
Malik gasped, and Loud sighed.
Adeline is still frozen on her spot.
"I thought the four of us were a team... Aren't we supposed to cover for each other? Must you report?" Jinx sternly said, and Poe chuckled, her ponytail scattering.
"Team?" She giggled, her cheek so red from Jinx's slap.
"The only person i will ever stay loyal to is my Master! I'm willing to do everything to make him trust me again, even if it means reporting you too, Jinx" she said, and Jinx swallowed.
Poe faced Adeline afterwards...
"And you... You wanna know something? If you allow Loud's jealousy and hate words to get into your head, then you'll regret it cos the moment Death stops caring, then it's over. He has never looked at anyone the way he looks at you... I wonder what he saw in you.." she scoffed, and Adeline looked up.
"He never looks at me. He has never done that, I...
"The four of us including Malik... we're aware of how he does his secret stares. When we were under the trampoline yesterday, he already stared secretly at you for over ten minutes before you began staring back! Loud saw it!" Poe shouted, facing Loud who's now speechless.
Adeline became speechless too, and Jinx couldn't talk anymore.
"That's right, Death stares at you secretly. Even before I found out about your identity, I saw him a number of times and wondered if he was gay" Malik said, and Adeline bit the inner wall of her mouth.
"And if you must know, he gives no fûck about Zoya... It's strictly for business" Poe finalized her words and glared at Jinx before storming out of the room.
Silence rented the room for a minute, and no one talked till Loud raised the gun to his head again...
"Don't shoot, I'll go talk to him" Adeline said and left the room.
Malik snatched the gun from him and removed all the bullets before throwing the empty barrel on the bed.
"Are you that hungry for death?" He said, but Loud just picked his hood and stepped out of the room without answering.
"Fool" Malik muttered, falling on his bed.
*
MANOR*
Madden hasn't changed his wet clothes, and he's barefoot as he stood in the middle of his workroom, gun in hand.
His eyes are focused as he pointed the gun forward, his second hand stiff beside him.
He pulled the trigger, shooting one of his masterpieces.
It's the statue of Ivan.
The statue of his father which he moulded after his death years ago.
He shot at it again and again and again, scattering the body with bullets.
Frozen clay flew around the room, smashing on the red walls till the image got destroyed to totally, then he moved to the second one.
That one is the image of Klara.
He didn't hesitate before shooting it repeatedly too, scattering the frozen clay everywhere with a manic glare in his eyes.
His wet hair formed thick curls, and they fell over his forehead to his eyes, making him more devilish.
After shooting Klara's image down, he heard the opening of the front door, and he didn't even try to go check who it is.
Whoever it is will probably die when they get here, but that thesis changed when the person appeared.
It's Klara, and she probably was able to come in cos he didn't shut the door when he entered earlier.
Fear clawed at Klara's heart when she saw the million frozen clay on the ground, and she lost her voice at first, unable to talk.
"You might wanna talk now, or I might drag you out and crush your head with one of the rocks lying out there" he coldly said, and tears rushed out of Klara's eyes.
She quickly went on her knees, flatly in front of him.
"I know I've sinned...and that didn't only include signing you off to Zoya, but also selling your sperm to her which she bore your kids with" she said, and Madden smirked, snickering afterwards.
That made Klara look up slowly, her eyes still teary.
"My...kids?" He said, his eyes shinning with mischief.
He grinned for the first time in years, and that even scared Klara cos he looks more scary with it.
"Kids? me? The world is not ready for my kids, Klara... They're not ready for the venom of a beast!" He spat, and Klara gulped fearfully.
"What do you mean? You...you gave me your spèrm and I gave it to Zoya and...
"Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Madden yelled madly, and Klara fell from her knees to her butt.
She almost crumbled as she scrambled to her feet, crying more.
"Madden please... I'm...
"Don't make me say it twice." He muttered with a poisonous calm, and Klara just knew she had to go.
Else, he'd kill her.
She walked out of the room, running out of the red-lit manor and eventually rushing down the black foggy mountain.
Immediately she left, Adeline appeared, slowly entering the hell-like building.
She could already hear the classical music playing in the workroom, so she just knows he's there.
She walked in and met him standing like a lone wolf in the middle of the clay mess.
"Revoke your order on Loud's self-kill. He disobeyed you because of me so...
"So what?" He faced her suddenly.
"I was the one who said I wanted to stay longer at the grill, and he only followed my wish" she said.
"Cos he's your highschool letter buddy? He's the senior brother of the guy you bought his identity?" He replied, and her mouth widened.
"You...you knew?"
He dropped his gun on the table and started walking out through the second door...
"You can't keep this up! You're not mute so talk to me Madden! Talk to me and stop doing this to me! Even when my mute father was still alive, he communicated with me so...
"Well guess what? I was fuçking mute too as a kid! So maybe I'm retarding... Who fuçking knows?" He cut her off suddenly, turning back to face her.
"Wha... what?" She said speechlessly, her eyes so wide.
Madden kept his poker face intact as he watched her dissolve the shock.
"So...the mute scribblings on the basement wall... They belonged to you? You were mute and locked up at the basement? And like I heard... You were...injected?" She covered her mouth with her palms quickly.
"What the hell"
"Get rid of that pity from your eyes... right now" he said, and she slowly removed her palms from her mouth.
"What? You suddenly see your father in me?" He said, and she sniffled before walking five steps to him.
She slammed herself against his chest, hugging the fûck out of him so tightly and suffocatingly.
"You should have told me all of these earlier... You @sshole" she sniffled again.
"Why? So you wouldn't have told me to fûck off?" he said, still not hugging her back.
"Maybe" she replied, fingering his back.
She tightened the hug even more, and he looked down at her head on his chest, bringing his chin down to rest on it before coiling his arms around her too, hugging her back.
"Will you grant me two wishes?" She whispered.
"Spill" he replied.
"First... Revoke Loud's self-kill order and I promise to limit my interactions with him" age said.
"And?" He said.
She broke the hug to look him in the eye.
"I... wanna go on a...date...with you" she slowly said.
"And the reward for the date?" He replied.
She smiled before whispering something in his ear which made his brows dip.
She jumped on him, wrapping her legs on his wet waist before wrapping her arms on his shoulder too.
He held her by the @ss and started walking out of the room.
"The Zoya woman..." She said.
"No mention of her in here" he cut her off.
"She's not your other woman, right?" She said.
"There is no other woman... Addie." He curtly replied, and she smiled again, but then he carried her into another dimension of the manor.
He opened a door at the far end of the hall, and after the door opened, several other doors started opening on their own like they're in a puzzle game.
The doors are literally folding up or moving to the sides, and Adeline watched in awe as everything slid till the twentieth one which led to a tunnel.
He walked for three minutes and used an elevator which took him down the area.
He scanned his right palm on the wall, and several halogen white lights came on.
Adeline was shocked to see some teenage girls in there, working wirelessly on systems.
The place is a mini digital room, and it's so fuçking mysterious too with the cabled transparent walls and connectivities.
Madden slowly dropped Adeline, and when the girls sighted them, they all stood and bowed to Madden before returning to their jobs.
That was when Adeline started recognizing some of the faces.
They're the girls they saved from Gerrard's s+x ring!
"Madden" she faced him surprisingly.
"The Masked Monster, or should I say Nazeera? She has an army of girls in her empire, and the fact that she's keeping their hideout safe only means she's into digital operations, so I created my mini digital world too" Madden replied, and Poe suddenly came out of one of the rooms, shocking Adeline more.
"We found close to two hundred digital walls in this country alone, so we have to try breaching the walls one by one till we find the one with the cross sign. It'll take time but trust us" Poe said.
"Good" Madden replied, and Poe gave Adeline a look before leaving to join the girls.
"I guess Jinx and the rest doesn't even know about this" Adeline said.
"Poe might be a bîtch sometimes, but she's madly loyal" Madden replied, returning his eyes to the room.
Adeline couldn't even look at the room anymore.
Instead, she focused on him, and she could hear her heart slamming again.
F+ck. She just fell deeper.
He's f+çking smart!
She smiled widely, biting her upper lip in deep admiration.
But then... Trixie came out of the room too, and her eyes widened again.
"Trixie?"
"He indulged me that day when I came to the manor, and I've sworn my alliance. I told you I'm with him anytime any day, and I know what you are already" Trixie winked, looking at Adeline differently.
Adeline smiled excitedly and hugged Madden again, choking him to her body.
"Thank you... thanks for forgiving her"
"And he also said he'd get us the documents so we don't have to raid the office anymore" Trixie winked again.
"Thank you... Maddenchik" Adeline said again, and Madden hugged her back with an arm, a small smile forming on his lips.
It faded away before Trixie could even see it, and Trixie turned her back on them when he began stroking Adeline's hair.
"Moya" he whispered.
*
COMPOUND, CLINIC*
Igor's eyes opened in a blur at first, but after taking in his environs, his eyes widened, and he tried to stand up, but pains from his tummy sent him back.
His nurses quickly helped with a pillow under his head, so he felt more comfortable.
He actually passed out after Ksenia bursted his stitches earlier and almost plucked off his dîck.
"Tell me that crazy wench left already" he said.
"He left since 7" the nurses replied.
"And why the fûck is Andrei not here beside me!" He barked.
"Igor Orlov" a new voice said as someone stepped into the ward.
The consigliere.
"You finally decided to come? I've been calling your line for ages, dumbass!" Igor rolled eyes.
"You called because you wanted to see the votes, isn't it? Well it's not meant to be disclosed till the day of the election." The consigliere replied, and Igor jumped down from the bed.
"Don't give me that crap! Are you mad? Show me the darn votes @sshole!!" He yelled, holding his stomach.
Sin rushed into the ward and held him back from attacking the man, and Igor huffed angrily.
"Calm down you can't attack a lawyer!" Sin shouted.
"He really really needs to calm down. See you on the election day" the consigliere smiled creepily and walked out.
"You saw that smile, right? That dîck is up to something! Sinclair let go of me!" Igor shouted.
"Attacking him will only make things worse! Igor!" Sin shouted, and Igor released a heave before suddenly hugging him brotherly.
"You're the only family I have left now. You better not betray me" he said, and Sin smiled, hugging him too.
"Even if you're an @sshole, you're still family. Let's just wait for the election date" he said.
*
MAYA'S SUITE*
Andrei released a soft exhale when he got to the main door, and he was cautious as he pushed the door open since it's not locked.
He tiptoed into the room full of candles and proceeded into the bedroom where he met Maya lying in bed with her eyes open.
She quickly shifted in bed to give him space, and he took off his shoes before climbing with her, laying beside her and covering them with the duvet.
Maya rested her head on his chest immediately.
"You're late" she muttered, and he took her bandaged arm, checking it out.
"You promised not to hurt yourself again" he said.
"Couldn't help it. I was too pissed at Erik" she replied, and he pulled her closer, inhaling her smell of lavender.
"I saw godmother coming from the manor earlier. She was crying" he said.
"Mother deserves whatever Madden dishes out for him" she replied.
"Is he really gonna get married to Zoya before the election?" He asked.
"We'll just have to wait and see... My brother is unpredictable" she chuckled.
"I know, right?" He kissed her hair, and she closed her eyes as he covered them completely.
*
SERGEI'S MANSION*
Dinner is currently ongoing.
It came late since the adults weren't home earlier, and Angelika made sure to sit on Zoya's side.
Aleksandr is with Sergei, and Ksenia sat alone at the table edge.
"You'll help me pack after dinner" Zoya told Ksenia.
"You're really moving to the clan tomorrow? Then I should probably move too, I'll move in with Igor. He's interesting" Ksenia winked.
"I can't wait to meet dad" Aleksandr said eagerly, dropping his fork, and Zoya smiled.
"And I need to get my wedding dress as soon as possible" she added.
"The wedding date hasn't even been picked" Ksenia replied.
"It'll be picked after the election date tomorrow. The earlier the better" Zoya shrugged, and Angelika began coughing suddenly.
Zoya quickly offered her some water, but even after drinking, she still continued coughing till blood came out of her nose.
"Oh shit! Angel!" Zoya's eyes widened.
"Angel!" Aleksandr stood with the rest.
"Angel!" Ksenia gasped.
But then, Sergei noticed shrimp inside the soup, and his eyes widened.
"Who added shrimp to her soup? Who cooked her soup? She's allergic to shrimp I clearly told you all! Who cooked the soup!" He yelled, and one of the maids stepped forward shakily.
"I...I forgot she's...
Zoya grabbed her neck and twisted it, snapping it sharply.
The maid fell dead on the cold tiled floor, and Zoya took Angelika upstairs to take care of.
Sergei called the guards to clear the maid's body, and Ksenia sighed.
"No one has allergy in the Smirnov family, not even Death himself, so where did Angelika's allergy come from?" She asked.
"I'm allergic to it too, it's just not in my soup" Aleksandr replied.
Ksenia blinked.
Meanwhile, while Zoya is upstairs feeding Angelika some tonic, she got a call from one of her boys, and she left Angelika to go pick by the door.
"Yes? Tell me Odessa is dead" she said.
"She moved from her former house last week, and we're currently trying to find the new one"
"Then find it fast. I'm losing patience. Every member of family Adeline has left must be dead before my wedding, then I can snap her neck by myself" she muttered.
Angelika's eyes widened in bed behind her.
*
NEXT DAY, NAZEERA'S PERSONAL VILLA*
The small villa is located in an unknown district, and that's where Nazeera communicates to Zhitnevo from.
She connected herself to screen some minutes ago to talk to Corey, but Corey is not available, and he's not picking his calls too.
The Bratva meeting ended just thirty minutes ago, and the election date has been picked.
The election is in two weeks from now, meaning Corey needs to start killing the top 5 tonight, but where the fûck did he go?
She dialled his line again, but it's still not going through, and even Gianna's line is not going through too, so she smashed the phone angrily.
She's wearing her cloak and mask despite the fact that she's inside, so her face is hidden, but as usual, her chest cross tattoo is visible.
She started rubbing her fingers on it again, remembering how she got it, and she turned around.
She could still feel the pain as Ivan tattooed her with a knife after kidnapping her from a mosque in Iraq.
"THIS TATTOO MEANS YOU NOW BELONG TO US... YOU'RE OUR SLAVE!!!"
Ivan's voice resounded in her head, and she gritted her teeth, pushing the fish house in front of her away.
The glass broke, pouring water around the room.
Currents and visible shocks flew across the electric walls as a result of the water, and she inhaled.
She needs to steal Ivan's ashes and pour it for poultry animals.
*
7PM, A BEAUTY SALOON IN THE SECOND DISTRICT*
Adeline sat pretty on a chair, and Poe stood in front of her, wearing makeup for her.
If anyone told her she'd be in this position with her today, she'd probably have denied it, but here they are.
Maybe Poe is really not that bad.
Madden had to attend The Bratva meeting, so she came here before him to get dressed and have her makeup done.
Their date is tonight, and he should be on his way here already cos the meeting is over anyways.
She was smiling as Poe put finishing touches on the makeup, and then she sprayed her face with mist.
Her hair was trimmed into a short smooth bob, and Poe nodded satisfactorily.
"All done" she said.
They moved to the next room where varieties of dresses are, but immediately Adeline saw the only red dress, she made her pick.
Madden is insane about red.
The dress is a red skim spaghetti-strap dupe dress, short and tight.
She put it on and was more than happy about what she saw at in the mirror.
She's hot!
Poe helped her with the perfect earrings too, but she ditched the necklace since the gown doesn't need it.
Poe then got the matching heels and squatted in front of her to wear it for her.
"I can wear it myself" she said.
"I was instructed to serve you... So please" Poe replied, and she inserted her foot into the heels gently.
Poe strapped it for her, and then it's all done.
She's not wearing panty under the gown, so her @ss and hips were making a show behind as she walked out of the room with Poe.
Poe went out of her way to find the purple body spray for her, so her scent is choky tonight.
Surprisingly, Madden hasn't arrived yet when they got out, and Adeline grew even more impatient.
She just can't wait for him to see her in this dress.
Suddenly, Poe's phone dinged, and she checked to see a text from Malik.
Malik: Zoya came to the compound with big bags and another kid who's Angelika's twin! She came with her soldiers and she's currently demanding for the manor passcode! Worst part is, Death is not around! Ksenia her junior sister moved in with Igor too!
"Shit hole" Poe muttered.
"You ok?" Adeline asked.
"Sure... I have to go now. Death will be here anytime soon" Poe replied.
"Thank you, Poe. I mean it. I feel beautiful and it's thanks to you" Adeline replied sincerely.
Poe gave her a difficult look and didn't even reply before getting in her car, driving off.
As she drove off, another car drove to a stop in front of the building.
It's a sleek red Aston Martin, obviously a new car.
Madden stepped down from it, and Adeline swallowed.
He's wearing a crisp, wine-coloured button-up and same colour of slacks, then fitting dress-shoes.
Even his always disheveled hair is smooth right now, but can someone please tell him that she loves it disheveled?
A wide smile fell on her lips when she saw he's holding a bouquet of red sweet-smelling roses, and he's wearing a small smile for her.
"My man" she blurted out insanely and started rushing down the stairs with the intention of jumping into his arms
Madden was staring at her beautiful knees as she ran on the heels, and he's hoping she won't fall cos he's gonna fuçking destroy the stupid ground if that happens.
Meanwhile, on rooftop of the opposite building, Corey could be seen behind a bipod stand.
On the bipod stand, there's a sniper which is directed to the ground, facing Madden.
He's wearing a balaclava mask, but his visible eyes are trained on his target.
The plan is to shoot Madden before Adeline would get to him.
He shifted his finger on the trigger and was about to pull when a drop of blood fell from his nose to the ground, distracting him.
He touched his nose, and when he saw the blood on his fingers, his eyes widened.
"What's going on? Shoot him already" Gianna said behind him, and he turned to face her.
"Wait ... Your nose" her eyes widened.
"Who cooked dinner earlier?" He questioned.
"The maid was unavailable, so i did" Gianna replied.
"And you added shrimp?" He said, his eyes still wide.
"What do you mean?" She replied, and he swiftly raised his leg to her face, kicking her.
Gianna flew to the wall and crashed violently on the cement.
"I'm allergic to shrimp, bî+ch! It could kill me...I'm allergic!!!" He yelled.
TBC.
