Chapter 10

Kelly was about to get out of her car when she saw Esteban, heading to the shopping mall, with eight of his strong men, the owner of the supermarket personally came down to greet him.

Kelly hid in a corner, she looked at the bad boy in a long suit and a black beret on his head. His hands are hidden with black gloves, and the dragon tattoos are very visible, beautifying his white skin. "When will I be able to hold your head close to my chest?" She murmured. Someone suddenly gasped beside him. Kelly was startled and looked in that direction. Only to find a kid, probably five years old. With her hands on her mouth.

"Kelly Smith?" She giggled, "I never knew I would meet like this." She quickly adjusted her messy hair and ragged clothes. She hid the broom and rags behind her back. Kelly's heart aches. "You...what's with those cleaning tools in your hand?" She asked in disbelief.

"I'm....."

" Wait for me, I'm coming back, okay?" She gritted her teeth and left in a hurry, she entered where Esteban's just entered, this is not a gun or sword mall, so what is he doing here?

Entering the big VIP area, there was no sign of him!

"Miss Smith is here, let me attend to her"

"No, I will"

After fighting for who would be her personal attendant, a girl named Loveth won.

She rushed to Kelly and asked, "May I help you, Miss Smith?" She smiled sweetly at her. They like Kelly so much because she's rich and not stingy! Lol.

"Emmm....that man in black that entered..."

"Esteban Ergos?" She quickly replied, she blushed and pointed in a certain direction. Esteban is very good-looking, the ladies had already registered his name and face in their heads.

Kelly nodded gratefully, she was about to rush in that direction but Loveth pulled her back. " Please be careful, that man is very dangerous," she said nervously, Kelly has helped her life a lot so she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her. "He's a mafia, the number one dangerous Mafia...." She whispered.

Kelly raised a brow and pretended not to know " Really?"

"Yes Miss Kelly, he's also the big boss of the Entertainment industry, do you know that dragon tattoos on his body and his neck.... That's his logo, Dragon is the most powerful mafia gang while Phoenix is the second, please be careful, some people are above the law, he has a crazy lawyer and a tycoon has friends."

Kelly laughed in amusement, he already knew about Norman and Archie as his friends, just shocked that the dragon tattoos she found cute were actually a symbol of a gang. " Thank you so much, Loveth, I'm not a detective there's nothing to be afraid of"

"Really?" Loveth sighed in relief, she thought Kelly was helping detectives. She nodded and smiled.

Kelly roughed her hair and gave her some pocket money!

Kelly followed the directions and texted Jenna. "Stalking the mafia boss hahaha,"

...

'Beep!'

Jenna's eyes fluttered open, she glanced at her phone and sighed, "The sun was almost down," Jenna groaned as she sat up, Archie is more beastly than before.

She saw a new dress prepared for her on the bed with a note from Archie "come out when you're awake" Jenna smiled, she picked up her phone to check the message.

Her heart jumped the moment she read the message. She quickly covered her naked body with a blanket and dialled her number, but Kelly wasn't picking up. She then pressed the voice note button. "Damn you chicken head! You can't stalk him. He already noticed you the moment you started the foolish plan in your head! Stop stalking him and go your way! He's crazy Kelly! He's crazy!"

Jenna waited but she's not even online. She quickly dialled Esteban's number, Kelly is too stupid to think she can play with fire!

After picking it Jenna roared "Hey, I knew you saw her, if you dare to hurt my friend, I swear I will break your nose, your leg and your ribcage with a jigger and feed your bones to sharks, I will donate your hair to the witches"

"Ahhhh, I like your style, but her hair is longer. Do you know any investors who're interested in a female dry skull for Halloween decorations?"

"Esteban!! If you touch her....shit! He hung the line! Damn you Kelly!" She cursed, what Esteban hated most was stalking. She sighed nervously and dialled Adian's number, she didn't trust Esteban in that area!

"Ahhh! You annoying brat, why can't I reach you these days huh?"

Adain laughed. "Playing"

"With dead bodies huh? Deal with you later, help me keep eyes on Kelly Smith"

"Which one? Is it the one that is already on his way to his den?"

Damn it! She knew it! "Go get her for me!"

"Relax... he won't hurt her, he hates dealing with ladies..."

"Shut up and send her back to his house or I will send Adan"

" No don't.... already on my way hehe.." Adan and Esteban aren't really on good terms, ever since the accident happened, he blamed Esteban for failing to look after him. Adain is the only one who can handle Esteban.

She took the dress to the restroom, she needed to freshen up, Her leg almost gave up but she quickly held the wall to support herself. How will she walk confidently today?

She inhaled and opened the door slowly to check if no one was in his office but luckily she found two men with Archie in serious conversation, she frowned and eavesdropped "How would I know the intruder if I don't gain her trust?" Archie told Mr Chen.

Jenna was stunned, 'Didn't he know who Myth is? Or what is he talking about? Several questions with no answer started playing repeatedly in her mind.

Could it be... that's the reason why he...

Forget it, it is her own fault for trusting him in the first place, maybe he has his own plan. Jenna closed the door gently, she took the elevator in the private room, Archie's office has two hidden elevators so it's very easy for her to leave without alerting them.

"Your things are now in Mr Archie's estate" she read out her assistant's message and groaned, "That's too fast!" She groaned and headed to Archie's villa. As soon as she entered the sitting room, she met the Hindley family, Archie's mother, sister and grandmother.

Chapter 11

Kelly opened her eyes slowly, she tried to recall what had happened and how she ended up here "I was on my way to the manager's office and...." Her eyes suddenly widened. Now she remembered, someone covered her nose with a white handkerchief from behind!

She trembled and looked up, she then realised she was standing before a pole, while her hands were tied behind and her face and mouth were blindfolded!

Scared. "Hi..." she paused. The environment isn't silent, she could hear laughter, arguments, the smell of cigarettes and whiskies.

Kelly felt a chill in her spine, 'Hope is not what I'm thinking?' Ehn? In Esteban's Den!

"Boss is here!" Someone whispered.

"Boss! Welcome"

"Hey Mercury! Open her eyes!"

"Yes open, look, she's awake!"

Kelly swallowed her silver nervously, the noisy place is now silent! Ahhh!

She heard footsteps approaching and felt a hand removing her blindfold.

Kelly refused to look up after the blindfold was removed, she knew Esteban was there, staring at her! 'What will I do..' she thought.

"Hey, head up," one of his men said. But Kelly frowned and ignored him. Mercury gritted his teeth in annoyance, he roughly grabbed her neck "You want to die"

"Take off your dirty hand from me," Kelly roared in anger.

Mercury was surprised she dared to talk back in this situation "How dare..."

"Let go..." Esteban's cold voice echoed from behind.

Kelly finally looked at him, despite his dark aura, his good-looking face and tattoos are just...

"Are you a detective?" He asked. Kelly quickly shook her head. Esteban tilted his head and raised a brow. "So why are you stalking me?"

Kelly stared at his lips in daze, unable to speak...those lips are.... She licked her lips and looked away, embarrassed.

Esteban men exchanged glances, surprised, it turned out the lady was crushing on their boss hehe!

Esteban shook his head and moved closer to her, seeing him coming closer Kelly clenched her fists. 'Where are these feelings coming from?' she thought.

Reaching her, he raised her jaw with his glove hand and smirked. "Kitten, what is the meaning of that?"

"I...I..." He's just too close, so his lips. "I'm not stalking you" she denied.

Esteban nodded and turned. "Wait..." Kelly unconsciously stopped him. She was even surprised to say that out loud. She felt he was about to leave her life and he would never return.

Esteban halted, "Get it out, it's not gonna happen, stop daydreaming"

"He knew...." Kelly murmured. "No, I won't!"

"Are you insane..." Mercury sneered, no one dared to say NO to their boss!

Esteban chuckled. Why won't he know what the girl is up to? He threw his head back and sighed " You don't belong to my world Kelly " he said coldly. He

"Esteban Ahhh..." A hand flung on her neck, choking her.

" How dare you call him by his name..." Mercury couldn't stand her disrespecting his boss.

" Get your stinky hand away from me" then she spat on his face. Mercury was stunned. The rest burst into laughter, Esteban lit the smoke in his mouth, not caring.

Mercury gritted his teeth, disgust, and he raised his big hand in the air. "Bitch..."

"Mercury!" An authoritative voice echoed in the hall. Stopping him.

Another gang entered, with their little boss leading them.

Mercury clenched his fist. "Not your business, Adain," he said. Immediately, a sharp knife was thrown at him. "Ahhh" the knife pierced his chest, he fell, blood oozing out from it. "How dare you call him by his name," Johnson smirked.

"Hahaha, what a straight hand" Adain chuckled, he glanced at Kelly and walked toward Esteban.

Kelly's heart almost leapt away the moment their eyes met. She's not familiar with Adan and Adian. She barely saw them. But Adain became scarer day by day. What makes his aura thicken is the black thing he used under his eyes. 'Maybe an eyeliner'

Esteban glanced at his right-hand man in a pool of blood and looked at Adain. "Hi Dad, Hummmm...you know if we don't return mom's property, she will break our heads," Adain said.

"You can't be like Adan" Esteban frowned at the blood. Adan's situation is already out of hand, even Norman who raised him couldn't control his temper.

You will have to pass through seven gates with tight security before you reach his mansion door. Adan started living alone at the age of seven, that's the previous year, Israel gave him the estate as birthday gift, he rebuilt it and transformed it into his palace. A dangerous tycoon's palace.

Seeing Adain like this makes him uneasy, he will end up more dangerous than Adan!

Adan was capable of controlling his emotions, but not Adain.

Adain's smile faded, "I didn't kill him, he only lost a litre of blood" he said innocently. Then glanced at Johnson, nodded at him. Johnson immediately unties Kelly.

"Follow me," he said to her. Leading her out, Kelly's eyes never leave Esteban till she leaves.

Adain roared in laughter. "She's into you, tsk tsk! I see" he shrugged "Ahhh... don't worry Dad, I can never be like my brother, I'm very innocent, you know" he tapped Esteban's shoulder and left with his gang.

Esteban watched his back and sighed, he smirked and texted Archie. "You have a lot to do with your kids"

Mercury, still groaning in pain on the floor. "Boss..."

Esteban moved towards him and bent "You can't be rude to Adain, just because he's once among us doesn't mean you can call him by his name, he's now a boss with territories " he warned.

Esteban stood, he glanced at the small knife and frowned. " Don't even think of crossing his brother" he added. The knife has a phoenix logo on it 'Who created this weapon?' he thought.

"Let's go. Keep the knife" he said to the rest. Leaving Mercury in pain. " You're a fool to think boss will fight Phoenix, he raised him and loved him like his own son" his friend said and helped him up.

"He knew about your secret plan on Myth, so don't even dare to do something stupid to get his attention. He's not familiar with the boss" he warned.

In Adan's car. Kelly kept glancing at Adain from time to time, wondering why his aura was similar to Esteban's.

"Whatever feelings you're having for him...." He paused. "Go for it" he smirked.

Johnson coughed, what kind of suicide advise is he giving him?

"Unless you want your lungs out of your throat" Adain smiled at Johnson, Johnson sealed his lips and said to the driver "make it slow," Creating more time for Adain and Kelly who were sitting in the back seat.

"He's a man that doesn't love, he's thirty-one, already old, seduce him and make him fall for you hahaha" he laughed.

"You're too young for all these Adain" she murmured. People will mistake his present for Adult.

"Really? Same as you, you are too pure to aim for him, that's how things are, people are now doing what they aren't supposed to do to get what they want"

Kelly was stunned. Where did that brilliant speech come from?

" Don't think he's aware I'm on my way to get you. Just be thankful you're a friend of his stubborn baby girl. Or else, you will end up in a place you don't want."

"Is he that bad?"

"As you're a Cinderella, you should look for a prince, well if you really prefer a beast, go for it... his beauty was shot dead so no one will blame you"

"I like your boldness, but don't piss him off, just do your thing as a lady, by telling him he can still love again"

Kelly looked at Adain in daze, he's only eight and already giving the vibes of a Playboy. "Adain, do you have a gf?"

Adain froze, the driver choked his own silver. Johnson burst into laughter.

Chapter 12

Ahhh, sorry... that's not what I mean.."

"Okay Miss Smith, you are only curious," Johnson chuckled.

Adain kept laughing "I won't answer that question, I'm almost as tall as you, so you forgot my age hahaha, well having girlfriends isn't as easy as you think"

"Girlfriends..." Kelly muttered in disbelief. The boy is not even planning to have one gf?

"I will start from smaller steps, right Johnson" he glanced at him. Johnson nodded in agreement. "Yes, like watching strippers dancing...." Johnson said.

"Strippers?" Another shock hit her like a rock.

"Yeah like, carrying neat bitches, well... I prefer starting with tongues on my dick Johnson!"

Johnson took a moment to think about it "That's cool, but until you're eighteen"

"He's right" he pointed at Johnson, " for now, I watched bitches twerks In their clothes, your crush said, when I turned eighteen, I can watch them do that in bikinis until I'm twenty, they can be completely naked and play with their womanhood on a table before me hahaha" Adain laughed, Kelly's mouth is still open wide.

"Esteban told you that?"

Adain raised a brow "I'm planning to start going to strippers clubs at this age, you know, no one will believe I'm eight, they will think I'm thirteen, Esteban is such a nice guy grip me"

Kelly refused to ask Adain any other questions, his answers are too strong for him to handle! And, Esteban giving a young boy like Adain that type of advice must be Crazy!

"Oh please...stop at the Shopping mall" she almost forgot the girl she asked to wait. "Maybe left already."

To her surprise the five-year-old girl was still there, waiting!

"You're back" she smiled, dusting her dirty rag gown "I thought...." She paused.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you, why toilet cleaner at your age?"

"Ahhh... not that, I'm helping a woman clean, she will give me food when I'm done cleaning"

Kelly frowned "What of your parents?"

" Mom is late, Dad married another wife with a kid, I don't like her and she doesn't like me either"

Kelly laughed, Kids nowadays "Do you care if I adopt you?" She used to see her working very hard whenever she came to the mall. That's too much for her age.

"Really?" Her eyes widened, she quickly knelt and grabbed her cloth "Yes Aunty Kelly, I will be glad if you do" she said, tears streaming down her face. Ehn? So her prayer will finally be answered?

"Let's go" Kelly said, hurriedly, she grabbed her hands and headed to Adain's car.

Opening the car, she felt a sudden chill. She stopped the poor kid and glanced at Adian, who focused on his phone. His smiling face has been replaced with a cold. Afraid to scare the poor girl, she went to Johnson at the front seat "Where is Adain?" She asked, The twins are very similar and disturbing.

Johnson glanced at Adain " We're busy when his mom asked him to bring you, you just wasted ten minutes of his time"

Kelly froze, "You mean that's what he looks like when he's mad?" She murmured, his face this time is similar to Adan, she suddenly mistook him for Adan!

"Adain, I'm very sorry..." she said as soon as she got in, Adain's cold face changed, revealing a delicate smile "Ahhh no problem, wasting ten minutes is nothing"

Kelly sighed and sat between Adain and the little girl, not all kids can withstand Adain's aura.

Adan glancing at the little girl who was staring at him with wonder, he raised a brow "Where did you see this little chicken"

Kelly's heart sank, Chicken as how? She gave Adain a side glance and sighed. "Can't you be nice with your sweet words?"

"Hahaha, I won't allow her in my car if I'm not nice," she smiled. Kelly swallowed and nodded. In the next moment, the little girl crossed from Kelly's side, sitting beside Adain.

"Hey!!!" Kelly whispered nervously, The girl is very dirty, compared to Adain whose coat is neat, his skin is even whiter than hers.

"Chill...Leave her alone, I'm not disgusted with dirty things." He stopped Kelly from pulling her away.

"Hi," she smiled.

"Hello, little chicken, what is your name?"

"Again..." Kelly shook her head.

" Charlotte, handsome"

Adian nodded "Good, whenever you suddenly see me more good-looking, wearing white and very serious face....run"

Kelly laughed, He's probably talking about Adan. "Your names and faces are too similar, not old enough to understand that" Kelly sighed. Jenna has once told her about Adan's obsession with cleanliness, even angelic to people's touch. That's weird. The triplets are just full of wonders.

"Okay", Charlotte nodded.

"Nice chickens to raise"

Kelly sighed "Her mom was late, her dad is a mother fucker"

"He's nice" Charlotte giggled.

Adain chuckled and stared at Charlotte, making her feel uncomfortable. Charlotte blushed and quickly looked away. No handsome boy has ever looked her way. "Yeah, he's VERY nice" Kelly exaggerated. Ehn? Adain nice? Humph!!

....

Jenna chuckled at the Hindely who made her marriage upside down eight years ago.

They even brought this witch with mutation eyes with them, she's a powerful queen that gave birth to Archie's mother, people called her a witch, it's obvious she's very pretty, tough, cold and blessed with sharp-tongued.

Ladies will have to pass through her, if they want to stay in Hindley's family. She has been Rebekah's (Israel's mother) best friend since high school. To make their friendship stronger, she forced Israel to marry her daughter, Diane!

"Hello Jenna, I'm glad to see you again" Rebekah smiled sweetly at her. She's is short and beautiful woman, she has the body of an early 50s but she is almost 80, her face is too smooth for her age including her energetic vibes, she might be talkative but she's easy going and friend/friendly unlike Queen Eli who is always angry for no specific reason!

Eli forgot she's the queen of these dirty characters she's running away from, she makes her daughter sleep with her best friend's son to strengthen a relationship.

Jenna "Hello Grandmother" She smiled back at her, she's not afraid of any of them, she grew up knowing people like Israel, Norman, Esteban, and Adan! They are the wilds in the jungles. Compared to these wolves and bulldogs.

"Oh, are you Archie's long-lost lover?" Lisa, Archie's younger sister asked happily. Jenna smiled politely in response, she despised the ladies the this family, they are good examples of 'The females are the witches of the family '

"You left my son when he's in trouble, why did you come back?" Diane, Archie's mother said coldly.

"I have my own reasons," Jenna said calmly, but Eli (Diane's mother) isn't buying that.

"What is this stupid reason that made a gold digger run away when he needed you most, and now come back when he is crowned, as the most powerful person in the business world?" Eli said, standing up, her move was slow, That action is enough to bring normal people down on their knees and bow for forgiveness.

But, Jenna isn't just anyone, these people wronged her a lot in the past, they're the masterminds of what happened and even dared to blame her for it.

And if she doesn't leave how will she be able to protect herself and the heirs of the Hindelys? These children are very important to Israel, he didn't joke with them!

From their reactions, it seems Israel hasn't told them anything about the children which is a good thing! They're not worthy to know them!

Eli stood tall before Queen Eli, she had strong aura that matched Eli's, very elegant and sexy, especially with her beautiful brown long hair that covered her butt.

The silver long dress with mid-tight slit Archie chose for her is very expensive, people will think it's specially made for her,

Jenna raised a brow and folded her hands as she stared at Eli, indifferently, ' I don't know why people are bowing down for this queen, evil queen!' she thought.

Diane watched them with disapproval shown on her face, Jenna shouldn't have stood arrogantly before a whole queen of a country, "Arrogant" she murmured. This is one of the reasons why she dislikes her. Jenna is the first very first young lady who matched her mother's tough aura.

Queen Eli is an angry lioness, now this lioness had met her match, a tigress!.

Jenna stared at the old woman who looked fifty instead of eighty, she was mad at this because her daughter, Alan had taken so many things from this woman, same blonde hair and mutation eyes.

"I have seen many shameless ladies, but you are the most arrogant one, pathetic!" Queen Eli spat.

" You want to know why I hate some high-class families? They're quick to judge someone even if they're the worst," Jenna pointed out.

Eli's eyes widened, did she just say that to the whole of her?

"How dare you talk back to...." Eli raised her hand to hit her face, but Jenna was smarter and held her hand.

Everyone was stunned, especially Archie's younger brother George who almost applauded Jenna for dealing with that wicked woman, Lisa smiled with satisfaction, severe that old b*tch right! " She is just too much!" She said.

Diane stood in shock, did she just stop her mother from hitting her? A whole queen? Is she insane?

" I won't let you hit me," said Jenna.
