Chapter 3: Seducing The Druglord
CHAPTER 3
"amore mio!" Tony hurled his pretty long maniacured arms around me immediately I stepped into Lucy's Fries.
"I've missed you" he threw me a peck on my cheek.
"I've only being gone for 12 hours" I rolled my eyes, shoved him out of the way and trooped into the restaurant meeting with an entire silent to my surprise.
"I know right. Lucy's nags is killing me and I can't be the only one taking all her frustrated rants! Thank goodness you're here, we can both share the rants" he beamed at me mischievously.
"She broke up again?" I assumed. Taking a seat from across the entry and he also took a seat opposite me. Apparently, its just both of us in the resturant and that's such soothing feelings.
"Nah, I wish" he barked. "She was duped"
"Oh" I squashed my face. "By her boyfriend"
Okay, we are not safe. Maybe I should just scrap off this job off my list.
I gave him a blank stare and after a moment of silence we burst into laughter.
"Where is everyone else?" I looked around again when I noticed we were the only one in the restaurant.
"Jeffrey quit - he found a better one at Starbucks, Nova is on a matrimonial leave and Gina? She ran away to her grand mother's. Her house was found demolished"
"Woah. What happened?" He stood up and helped me with my apron which I have being struggling with for awhile.
"Her dad bought drugs from a drugdealer and ran away without paying, they threatened to take his daughter's liver if he dosen't pay" he said behind me, fixing my apron.
"Yikes! They are bluffing right?"
"No, my dear. They can and will do it if he dosen't pay." He twirls me around to face him. "This people are fucking dangerous, the mafia world should probably start learning from them."
"It can't be that bad."
He shrugged and let me go walking towards the kitchen area.
"Yeah, it can't be that bad but with Lucian Leon its that BAD! That man is more dangerous than a Mafia."
Lucian? My face fell at the mention of his name. My hands grab the chair handle and begins to tremble when I realized I'd be seeing him again in few hours.
What if he does a background check on me and discovers I'm a narcotics detective girlfriend? What if he deceives me to somewhere I can't reach anyone and blows out my brain? What if he dosen't target me and targets my family members instead? Is Lyra in trouble now? Carson? His grandmom???
Oh, God. Daphne what have you gotten yourself into.
Tony who disappeared into the kitchen minutes ago popped his head out.
"Hey? What are you doing? Lucy is awake get your ass here or do you care for an extra 6 hours shift from Lucy?"
He whispered to me.
I snapped out of it and rushed to the kitchen. Carson said the detectives would be around incase Lucian does anything to me.
Yeah, at least I won't die in a cold blood where no one would be able to reach out to me.

I've thinking this hard and through I dressed up in the sexiest way ever. Well, a blue silk halterneck mini dress and a black pump is also considered a sexy dress right?
Anyways, it was Friday and has Lucian suggested I'm making my way to Code Black not to give him a lapdance but to warn him to his face to never call me a prostitute.
I know, its also a part of the plan. This is what these kind of guys want - Challenge.
I don't know but from what I have read they are obsessed with girls that challenge them so I have to first do that before he can at least pick a little interest in me but I also hope I'm not walking into my grave with my legs.
I packed a laser and pepper spray in my bag incase, just incase.
Bumping into sweaty bodies I made my way into Code Black hoping to see Lucian anytime soon. I had come here to pick drunk Lyra a few times so I kinda know my direction at least I won't get lost. I hope?
This place is confusing as hell and anytime I come to pick Lyra we always get lost.
I was watching the upper rooms which are the VIP area hoping to catch a glimpse of Lucian when I hadn't seen the drunk man that was coming and bumped into him. I loosed my balance and landed on the floor before I knew it.
"Look where you are going bitch!" Is all he could say and he stomped past me. I got myself up and dusted my dress of any dirt from the floor.
"I knew it was you!"
I recognized the familiar high-pitched voice before she showed up wrapping her sweaty hands around me. She was dressed in a black armless body dress and she was drunk.
"I missed you, Daphne" she planted a big kiss on my cheek. "Come on, let's get you to meet my buddies"
Before I could protest she grabbed my wrist and dragged me along with her stopping by a corner in the club which looked like a parlour. They were two three-seaters couch and a bar area by the end. They all raised their eyebrows at me as soon as Lyra pulled me into their midst.
"Guys! My one and only cousin! Daphne!"
"Woo, we finally get to meet Lyra's favorite person."
One of her friends who was sprawled on a guy's lap said. She jerked away from the guy's lap and came closer to me, she raised her glass to my face.
"Want a drink?"
I quickly nodded no.
She smiled to me, the club light sparkling on her braces.
"I heard a guy haven't fucked you"
A guy I hadn't noticed from the corner shouted.
Gosh, Lyra!
"How did you keep up though? You are such a role model"
The girl who offered me drinks added and they all laughed.
"Hey guys, she came to this party dressed like this,it means she finally wants to get fucked." What the fuck is this guy's problem? I don't even know his ass except through Lyra who had blabbered nonsense to her ill-mannered friends. That's for later, I'm sure never going to let this slide because I don't know why she had to talk about me with her friends even though she was drunk. I threw a hot glare her way and she was making out with one of the guys on the second couch. Bitch.
"I'm available though" The guy continued making his way towards me. "I can help your situation. So you won't have to tell anybody you are a virgin anymore" he hovered his hand round my shoulder.
I threw it off my shoulder and glared at him. He was tanned, he had freckles hanging low on his cheekbones and he had a dotted silver earring by his left ear.
"Actually, I wouldn't want the room to be filled with the smell of body odour on the night I'm disvirgined so, no thanks"
Those words had rolled out of my tongue before I could stop them. Actually,I don't want to stop them because there was a whooping from Lyra's other friends and some of them actually laughed.
Satisfied,I turned away from them but didn't leave their midst without giving Lyra one last hot glare who was collapsed on the floor.
I struggled between the sweaty bodies to find my way out immediately. I'm getting nauseous from the smell of sweaty bodies mixed with cigarette and weed, I needed to get out of here before I throw up on some outfit that is worth my one year salary at Lucy's Fries.
I pushed my way out trying to remember the place Lyra had dragged me from but I met a dead end.
This place is confusing as hell! I sighed angrily and threw my back against the wall. Should I just call Lyra? I doubt she would hear her phone ring.
I picked up my phone and punched in her number on the dial. It rang 6 times before I cut it off knowing for a fact she won't hear her phone ring.
But still, I have to get out of here. I pushed my phone back into my bag and started making my way to wherever my legs takes me. This place can't be that confusing at least in less than 30 minutes I would be out of here.
Tired and exhausted I started making my way towards were I had bolted from. I could be as well lucky if I meet Lyra on ly way again.
A guy who had being standing at the other end bumped into me spilling his beer on himself.
"What the fuck bitch!" He screamed in horror trying to dust the drink off his red denim jacket.
And my prediction was right, I finally dumped a drink on some expensive cloth that's worth Lucy's pay for a year.
"I'm so sorry!" I reached for his jacket to help him dust the drink off but he was quick to throw it away.
"What the heck weren't you looking ahead of you!"
He barked at me.
"I'm so sorry. Look, I can compensate you. How much do you need?"
Yikes, looks like I just made the greatest mistake of my life. I bet I don't even have up to 100 dollars in that purse.
"What? I don't even think your 20-years of labour can buy this!"
Yes, I know mister so just let me out of here. I really need to leave. I snapped my head up when the guy took slow strides towards me until my back was connected to the wall.
"You know, I could actually take something else instead of money"
He said to my face, his hot breath reeking of alcohol and weed.
His hand rested on my cleavage taking it in slowly. I quickly pulled it out and threw it away before he could go any deeper. I adjusted my gown and cleared my throat.
"I'm sorry. Uhm, I'd pretend that never happened or you never said that, goodnight then"
I said in a rushed and cracked voice. When he didn't respond I quickly brushed past him but his hand connected with my neck and threw me against the wall in a fast motion.
"Where the fuck do you think you are off to bitch? You spilled my jacket and flinged my hand, cute of you to think I would let that go so tell me real quick princess my place or yours? We don't have all day"
My heart is pounding against my chest, sweats dripping from my forehead as tje heat I had felt before increased by 360 degree around me. He moved even closer trying to connect his lips with mine. I held my bag tight getting ready to take out the lasers and connect it to his bare neck.
He moved even closer with a smirk thinking I had given him but jokes on me because my hands are now on the lasers and the minute he presses his lips to my the lasers will also be pressed to his neck.
Meanwhile, a gentle footsteps approaching us halts him. He turned around to catch a glimpse of the person whose shoulder is the only visible thing about him.
He steps closer revealing himself and my eyes instantly meets with that familiar and intoxicating green eyes. Lucian is wearing a black tshirt with the first three buttons undone, his pencil denim jeans effortlessly flaunting his thigh. His hair is still slicked back and middle centered. The familiar scent of citrus knocked down the scent of cigarette mixed with sweat and weed I had being perceiving for hours. And he is freaking hot than I the other night. I don't know what was different maybe its the aura.
Lucian stepped closer to the red denim jacket guy who was looking like he just saw his debtor.
"Lu-Lu-Lucian" He stuttered.
"Hey? You don't have my money right?"
"No,yes! No, no. Yes! I have it but it wouldn't be available till tommorow. Actually, I got the money yesterday already but I had issues with the--"
The red denim guy halts by the sound of a trigger clicking and we both looked to Lucian who was already holding a retriever.
He won't do that will he?
"So, you don't have it, is that what you are saying?" He whispered in the lowest and hoarsely voice I ever heard. "Answer my fucking question" He spat at him, his voice laced in venom.
"Yes, I don't. But Lucian, I cross my heart first thing tomorrow morning your money--"
A sound of a trigger clicking and blood spilled on the floor before me.
My eyeballs grew wider at the scene almost popping out of its socket. I stepped backwards and threw myself on the floor. My hands were trembling as I brought it to cover my wide mouth. The denim jacket guy who had attempted to sleep with me few minutes ago is now lifeless with his eye wide open.
I saw Lucian take out his phone and call someone from the corner of my eye. I couldn't face him. If I did perhaps I might end up like the red denim jacket guy.
"What are you still watching? Show is over. Fucking piss off" Lucian scrowled at me.
I glared at Lucian through the dark knowing he wouldn't see my glare or if he did, I'd be having a bullet in my head in no minutes.
The fact that he shoved in two bullets into the retriever and still had one in it is still registered in my head so I'd better be in my best behavior and I'd better get out of here now.
I stood up gently from where I slurped with shaky legs and adjusted myself trying my hardest best not to look at the dead body before me. I could see a pool of blood through the corner of my eyes flowing towards my direction and if I wasn't careful I would step on it and that would be another nightmare on its own. As I catwalked out of the wing, three men rushed in, exchanged few words with Lucian and went over to the dead body.
Two of the men had the guy stuffed in a sack I hadn't noticed earlier when they arrived and the other guy cleaned the blood with a white sack cloth. I watched in total awe as they cleared the crime scene effortlessly and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, Lucian flicked on a lighter and lit up a cigarette, he obviously didn't even give a shit about the fact that he just ended a life.
What am I even saying? He is a druglord, of course he won't give a shit and what am I still doing here?
I resumed my walk out of the club and of course out of Lucian's life for good but my head felt like it needed to clear something off before that happened so I turned and found him already glaring at me, the cigarette between his plump lips.
I should have considered saving my loved ones a mourning but I just couldn't stop and control my stupid leg as I strode towards him.
"Actually, I'm here to talk to you"
What a stupid confrontation starter you are, Daphne!
I quickly stop my foolish head from taking in any imagination as I watched him slowly draw the cigarette from between his pink lips. Thin lines pressed between his forehead as he eyed me.
"Sorry, who the hell are you again?"
Great, he dosen't recognize me so its isn't too late now to save a generation by running out of here, Daphne - is what my mind is shouting at me but my head and my mouth are in total opposition.
"I'm not your fucking whore. I'm Daphne Brooks! Your whores are on the street not, the one that shows up at a party looking classy and elegant. And don't you recognize your whores? The ones that wears garters are the whores, Mr Lucian."
I quickly stopped myself before I said another word that would end him using the last bullet on me and I turned my back before he changed his mind from staring blankly at me to blowing my brains out but my stupid running mouth still had something else to say. I turned to face him again watching every of his moves incase he attempts to pull out the retriever.
"And...!" I took out a thousand dollar note from my purse. I know I would have to trek after doing this but I don't care, right now I needed to look cool. I stuffed the note in his trouser pocket as his green eyes followed my movement with a scrowl still on his face.
"don't ever touch my boobs again Mr Lucian or else I would be the first 'prostitute' to sue you for sexual assault"
I emphasized the word prostitute sarcastically. I knew I sounded stupid there, suing Lucian is something laughable but like I said in as much as I looked cool there I don't give a damn.
I turned on my heels and began to walk out of the club. Once I was out of his sight I began to run towards the direction I hoped was the main entrance and this time I got it right.
Once the cold breeze and smell of the night breeze found me, I took a shallow breath and looked for a corner. Once I spotted one, I began to throw the last thing left in my digestive system out onto the ground.
I hadn't realized I felt so suffocated and irritated. The smell of cigarettes, weeds and the blood, the dead body!
Jesus, what a night!
