"Banks!" A girl rushed into the park, breathing heavily as sweat covered her face.

It's obvious she ran a long distance here.

A guy came running behind her, sweating equally.

"He's gone?" He breathed.

"I'll just talk to him tomorrow" the girl replied.

They're siblings. The girl is Rue while the guy is Jeremy, he's older with a year.

Rue threw her backpack at him.

"Meet me in the car" she rolled her eyes as she walked off.

Jeremy looked at the bag and snickered before carrying it after her.

5PM, TITANS MANSION*

As the leader of the club, Rook was greeted with respect when he made his dignified entry into the mansion.

The mansion is already full of invited naked sluts, prostitutes and strippers, ready to bless tonight's upcoming party.

Rook gritted his jaws, thinking of Roonie again.

He knows every information about every single student in campus, but he knows nothing about Roonie.

It's almost as if Roonie fell from heaven, no trace to his family at all, and it's annoying how he seems untouchable.

The students accord him great respect and fear, even more than him.

A wicked smiled painted his lips when he got a brainstorm.

"Pearl Wilson needs to be taught a lesson tonight. Use Banks name though" he ordered.

"On it" Four of the club members replied and rushed out to carry out the order.

"Send two pu$$ies to my room" he said, climbing the stairs.

*

7PM*

Pearl couldn't wait anymore as she drove her car out of her street.

She had to sneak out through the window since her dad will never allow any outing after her drunkenness last night.

Her friends are already at the clubhouse, and she really needs to arrive as fast as possible and feel some lime on her tongue.

She hasn't gone far from her street when two guys wearing black and white masks appeared in front of her car.

She almost jammed into them, but she had to quickly stepped on the brakes.

"What the fûck!" She shouted, but she was replied with broken glasses as the masked guys shattered her windscreen with metal pipes.

She had to quickly cover her face, but that didn't stop one of the glasses from hurting her face, and blood ran down.

She came out of the car, grabbing the first one she could grab.

She skillfully flipped him to the ground and was about to remove his mask when the other one grabbed her.

"Son of bitçhes!!!" She yelled breathlessly as another two appeared, making four of them.

They held her down, and the others resumed ruining her car.

"Fûck y'all!!! My car... damnit!!" She shouted, struggling hard to liberate herself.

"Next time, don't say Banks is dumb" one of the guys holding her said, and her eyes widened.

They let her go and jumped into the low bush beside the road, escaping effortlessly.

"Banks?" Pearl muttered, remembering what happened in class earlier.

She was fuming madly as she got her phone and bag from the car, storming down the road to find a taxi.

ROONIE'S PLACE*

The table is already set for uncle Edward dinner.

Like he promised, he came to prepare dinner for the guys, and they have no choice but eat.

Hyce looks like he has a lot to say, but he's struggling to keep quiet as they set the cutleries beside the plates.

Axel was keeping in his laughter as he watched him, and Roonie has this sardonic smirk on his face.

"Shall we?" Uncle Edward widened his arms when they finished setting the table.

He's in his early forties obviously.

They settled on the chairs to start eating, but the barging at the door stopped them.

"Expecting someone?" Uncle Edward asked.

Hyce stood to go check, and immediately he opened the door, Pearl bolted in.

"Fuckity fûck" Hyce muttered as she dropped her bag then started running to the table.

Uncle Edward stood with Axel, but Roonie remained seated till she got to the table and jumped on it, pushing away the meals with her heels.

The chinas crashed on the ground as she picked a fork, swirling around before jumping down on Roonie.

He went down without fighting, landing on his back.

The china pieces hurt his arms as Pearl sat on his belt region, placing the fork on his neck.

The fork digged into his skin slightly, and blood trickled out, but she's too enraged to even care...

Roonie kept laying low, and the other three men have impressed expressions.

"Sending thugs to me is a cowardly thing to do, motherfûcker! You should have faced me yourself!" Pearl glared, still placing the fork firmly on Levi's neck, still sitting on him.

Roonie smiled intriguingly, looking bemused and definitely liking the feel of her @ss on himself.

"If you're gonna ride me, do it properly" he said with a slight raise of his brows.

"What" Pearl sounded.

"You're sitting on my dîck" he muttered.

★

"You're sitting on my dîck" he muttered, and pearl's eyes widened a bit.

She became conscious of her sitting position, and she could swear she felt his boner on herself.

She quickly stood from him.

"Young girl!" Uncle Edward scowled alarmingly.

"Calm down, uncle. He won't die" Axel muttered.

"Next time, fox. Target my vein" Roonie smirked devilishly at her.

She scoffed.

"Coming here was a mistake, you fuçking...

"Watch that mouth" Roonie interrupted, sitting up on the ground.

The blood on his neck stained his shirt.

"I hope your pillow becomes wet every night, motherfûcker!" She spat ragingly.

"I get that a lot" he muttered with an unhinged calm.

Pearl gave him the middle finger before storming out of the house, leaving the men in awe.

"What was that" Uncle Edward said, moving close to Ronnie who's just standing.

"She's Pearl Axel...the craziest girl in school" Hyce said.

"And?"

"Someone probably sent thugs to her like she said, but they obviously used Banks name" Axel said.

"An enemy?" Uncle Edward frowned.

"We know who it is... Bloody Rook. I'm breaking his fuçking skull" Roonie replied and went upstairs.

"She ruined my dinner and broke numerous chinas" Uncle Edward said.

"We can always replace the chinas, and you can cook another dinner" Axel shrugged.

"No! I mean... maybe tomorrow, not tonight" Hyce quickly said, and the man's phone rang, interrupting them.

After a minute of speaking on phone, he picked his car keys from the couch.

"My wife is back, I have to go. Take care of Banks" he announced.

"Oh...sure!" Axel nodded as Edward left the house.

"Fûck! I wanna buy Pearl a jet for ruining this poisonous dinner" Hyce said.

"Relax" Axel patted him, and Hyce nodded.

"Rook is perfectly overstepping his boundaries" he said.

"He's getting it soon, Banks won't lay low after this, trust me" Axel said with a crazy smile.

"He's getting it soon, Banks won't lay low after this, trust me" Axel said with a crazy smile.

ROONIE'S ROOM*

Roonie is shirtless, and his madly ripped upper body is on display, his abs and pacs flexing as he cleaned up the neck and arm wounds in front of the mirror.

He remembered Pearl's challenge earlier, and a cruel smile climbed his seductive lips.

To others, it's an attack, but to him, it's a challenge.

Catch me if you can, and he's all ready to do the chase.

To think he has been pretending not to see her since three years ago, and now she presented herself for sport.

Such a good little girl.

He finished cleaning the wound and slapped a small plaster on it to control the bleeding for now.

He's gonna get rid of it after it stops, he hates any barrier on his skin.

Unlike his friends, no single tattoo on his visible body, but he has a hidden one, known to only him.

He threw on a black shirt and got his phone.

Thankfully, he has Rook's line...He likes keeping his enemies around.

He sent him a quick text...

Roonie:I saw your gift, get ready for mine.

He sat in bed after dropping his phone.

He tried to focus on something..anything at all in the dark room, but he failed, and his mind went to that miserable sentence again...

"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN, ROONIE"

His eyes opened slowly, his brows rumpling as the guys came in.

They both fell beside him.

"Exit, I need to sleep" Roonie said, stroking his own hair.

"When are we killing Rook?" Axel asked.

"He's not in the to-kill list yet" Roonie replied calmly.

"What do you fuçking mean? Dude sent his members to hurt Pearl with your name! The girl you've been watching since the beginning?" Hyce frowned.

"You're not getting it, bro. He's not watching because of interest, he's watching because of duty" Axel said.

★

"You're not getting it, bro. He's not watching because of interest, he's watching because of duty" Axel said.

"But...

Before Hyce could land, Roonie pushed him off the bed with his feet, and Hyce landed on the ground.

"Suck my dîck, bastard!" Hyce thundered as he stood, leaving the room.

"What are you gonna do to her?" Axel asked.

Roonie closed his eyes, his long lashes hugging.

"Don't be scared, I won't kill her" he muttered.

"Scared? You're deranged" Axel scoffed as he left the room.

VOID CLUBHOUSE*

"What the hell is taking her so long!" Rebekah complained for the thousandth time, moving from one feet to another.

She's been waiting for minutes in front of the club with the girls.

"Bîtch isn't picking my calls" Morgan added, almost smashing her phone.

"She has never been like this before though" Lizzy said worriedly.

"She could have at least called instead of making us worry" Morgan said.

"Are you girls going in yet? I'm closing for the night" the huge bouncer at the small gate said.

"You know we can't go in without pearl, can you wait three more minutes?" Rebekah quickly said.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. It's 8pm already" he replied.

"Darn" Morgan muttered.

"Girls!" Pearl appeared behind them.

"Thank gawd!" Rebekah smiled, but the smile vanished when she saw her wounded face.

"Babe what's up with your face!"

"pearl, is everything ok?" Morgan asked.

"Pearl..." Lizzy narrowed her eyes at her.

"We'll talk inside" Pearl brought out her phone

At the same time, they pushed their phone screens forward, showing their online tickets

"Go on girls" the bouncer smiled, opening the gate.

"We're regulars here, you should start allowing us in without tickets" Morgan said.

"Soon" he replied, stucking hands with Pearl.

The four entered the main clubhouse, and immediately they raised the curtain and stepped in, they screamed out before rushing to the serving table.

This place is an exclusive illegal clubhouse where drugs like cocaine and cannabis are exchanged for money.

Pearl got a glass of tequila for herself and gulped it, then she grabbed the slice of lime on top of it and placed it on her tongue, shutting her eyes and allowing the taste to hit as she sucked the sourness.

"Hmm...mmm" she moaned, grabbing another cup.

Rebekah quickly took it from her.

"You can't get drunk without telling us what happened" she said.

"Fine, Banks sent thugs to me, and they ruined my car" she said.

"What! Same Banks?" Morgan gasped, swirling her drink in her cup.

"Of course!" Pearl snapped.

"I can't believe it, were they wearing masks? What's the colour of their masks?" Rebekah asked.

"Black and white?" Pearl replied.

"I knew it! Only The Titans use black and white masks and Rook is the leader, you should have known!" Morgan shouted.

"Are you saying Rook attacked me with Banks name?" Pearl scoffed.

"Obviously, Banks doesn't belong in any frat club so there's no way he'd send thugs" Lizzy said.

There are two frat clubs in the campus actually...

The Titans who are bossed by Rook, then The Vikings.

No one knows who The Vikings leader is, and they always carry out their operations low-key, so they've been concluded to be weaker.

"Banks it too gentle to do such, he's not violent" Morgan said.

"You're defending him real good" Lizzy smiled.

"He's my future husband" Morgan winked, and Lizzy laughed.

"Whatever" Pearl grabbed her second cup and gulped it.

"Let's hit the dance floor!" Rebekah shouted over the music, and the four crossed over.

Morgan started her crazy twerk on Lizzy, and Lizzy acted like the guy by rocking on her.

Pearl is doing the same for Rebekah...

"Damn! This @ss!" Rebekah spanked her, and Pearl chuckled, downing the third cup.

"I'll get us another" Rebekah said and left the floor.

Pearl resumed dancing alone, but then the smell of a male cologne hit her when a guy began dancing behind her.

He touched her hips, and she quickly turned with wide eyes, feeling like throwing up.

"Did you just touch me? Fûcker! How dare you!" She spat at his face, punching him in the nose.

The guy staggered, and Pearl rushed out of the floor.

Her eyes were already turning as she tried to locate a restroom, and her stomach is upside down.

She held the walls till she found one, and she went on her knees in front of the toilet seat, throwing up all the alcohol she had.

Sweat shawled her face as she stood, staggering to the water dispenser.

A male's sudden touch on her skin triggers her, and that's why she avoids it like fire.

Uncle Richard's face appeared in her head, his sweet smile and his favorite words...

"You're so pretty, Pearl" his voice haunted her like a ghost.

She held her head and mewled painfully, pouring water on her face, but it didn't work

She took off her heels and sat on the covered toilet seat, shaking as she buried her wet face in her shoulder.

"Pearl!" Rebekah came in with the rest of the girls.

"I knew it" Morgan said, and Lizzy quickly gathered her heels.

Rebekah pulled Pearl's head to her tummy, hugging it there.

Pearl hugged her back.

"You're fine, baby" Rebekah stroked her hair, and Morgan sighed.
