You don't know what threatened me

Crazy fucking rich is all I could describe this event. Heck! I am left breathless just by watching at this auction, those high-end properties are fucking ridiculous that planting a scheme never left my brain.

Meanwhile, I noticed Jarred hasn't yet bid at anything, like, is he being picky or something?

Everyone's going crazy about the fine gold chain necklace with a genuine diamond hanging as a lavaliere. It already reached millions, fuck! My brain feels like it's full of clogs, it can't work properly.

"You like it?" I heard someone ask, the fuck?!

"Is that even a question?! I'll fucking kickass if someone dares to tell it isn't likable" I argued. Like, who got the audacity?!

"Then why not steal it?" Jarred whispered in my nape made my eyes roll almost reaching the back of my brain.

"What a shame hearing it from you" I muttered slightly, taunting him.

"Nah sweetheart, I could own everything offered in this auction, but that necklace is just not worth my money"

W h a t?

I turned to him almost immediately and stared at him with bewilderment.

"Don't look at me like that, that jewelry was stolen from me"

my jaw dropped.

"What the fuck" is all I could utter.

I turned towards the stage and watched on the big screen showcasing the necklace.

That's fucking gorgeous, it's a woman's necklace. I wonder who it belongs to, his mother? His ex-wife?

I felt a hand snaked on my waist

"Now, can you do me a favor?" He again whispered

"Are you kidding me? There's no easy way I could steal that jewelry" I hissed

"Trust me, you could, without sweating" he replied as he ran his nose at the back of my ear.

"How?" I asked curiously, he sounded like he already knew what to do.

"Simple, I'll gun the circuit sources and you'll do the rest" he grinned.

that's complicated

"Come on Jarred, we're not playing Dumb ways to die now, are we? There are hundreds of CCTV watching us -"

"Nope, not anymore sweetheart, those cams were probably hacked by now" he whispered almost wheezing.

I frowned, here I go again.

"Promise me you will not let me get killed" I muttered coldly.

"There's no need for reminders sweetie" he kissed my neck and I shivered

If anyone ever saw us in this position, they would certainly think we were a perfect couple by how passionate he was.

I slightly pushed his arms away from me indicating to start our business. He let go and I felt his presence slowly fading through the crowd, I remained standing in my position and observed the possible way to get near on the stage, when everyone seems hooked on the show, I walked closer to the front grabbing a glass of wine towards the server who's seized by an old goldy man.

I should get in front as early as possible.

But it'll appear suspicious if I got close to the front so suddenly before the blackout, I knew someone was watching me since no one knows who I am and I'm with the crazy rich asshole. I'm certain that they are being intrigued about me.

Why didn't we stand near the stage when he knows damn well we have action to deal with?! I scoffed.

I sighed deeply before grinning.

I walked towards a certain guy who was conveniently near the stage. He looked younger than me.

"Hey! Oh my god, it's you! It's been a while! I've missed you! Did you miss me?!" I beamed as he jumped out of shock

"Uh-sorry do I know you?" He asked, trying to free himself out of my embrace.

I retreat but still hold his shoulders.

"Aw! That's mean! You don't remember me?!" I acted offended and I almost clapped for my acting skill as I noticed his features softening.

"Shit, yeah, yeah! You're familiar! sorry, what's your name again?" He asked hesitantly

"I'm Khalil! Come on!" I faked my whine.

"Gab, who's she?" Another tall guy who I assume to be his friend interferes. Gab huh. I grinned once more.

"Gaby, you're still the sluggish and preoccupied baby!" I teased and I swear I almost laughed at how red his face turned.

"Don't call me that!" He scowled and I didn't hold back the low chuckle, he just pouted! Well,  he's cute.

"Ah, Zoren, this is Khalil uh-an old friend" he stutters unsure.

"Nice to meet you Zoren" I offered my hand and he took it.

"Nice to meet you too Khalil" he muttered in a low voice with an underlying tone. he's trying to prove something.

l averted my gaze towards Gab and he's flushed. Oh.

Ow!

Damn.

They are a couple. And I'm an idiot. They look good together tho.

But anyway, what the fucking fuck taking him so long?! I'm a few feet away from the stage and I could have snatched that without anyone noticing and even for a few seconds of blackout before someone turned their cell phone flashlights.

I mustn't waste a sec-

Everything turns pitch black and not even a millisecond, I lunged towards the path going for a quick and easy pull in the stage that I memorized and stole it out from its box, I quickly and silently returns to where I stand earlier nearly caught by a phone flashlight

"Let's all please calm down, it's just a blackout, the team were already on action fixing the matter '' I heard the emcee shout to the crowd before opening his cell phone flashlight.

"SECURITY! SECURITY! SOMEONE STOLE THE NECKLACE! CALL THE POLICE!" he hysterically screaming his panicked

All the people started to murmurs even Gab and Zoren

"Oh my god, what a shame for someone to steal such a precious thing in this kind of rich people gathering" I declared arrogantly and mockingly

"That's so fast, someone from the stage might be the culprit" Gab stated

"Hey sweetheart," I heard Jarred whispered

"Hey! Oh my God the necklace was stolen! I really love it!" I whine towards him

"That's too bad, I was about to bid for it and gave it to you, Don't worry, they are after that culprit by now, that person might be hiding from the crowd" he muttered and I heard Gab gasp

"Right! That's what I thought, they needed to start searching" I replied as my hand carefully slipped down to his pocket and lodged the necklace into it.

"They must do it fast, the culprit might've escaped already" he muttered, the grin almost audible in between his words.

"Um, oh yeah, this is Gab, a friend of mine and his uh-friend, Zoren" I introduced. Damn, I'd like to be his friend.

" Uh-hi" Gab shyly greeted, oh boy, he doesn't even know how to hide his feminism.

"Hi, I'm Jarred," he briefly introduced.

I tilted my head towards Jarred. "Don't you have  any calling card with you?" I asked enthusiastically

"I have, why?" He asked

"Can I have one?"

"For what?"

"I'd like to keep in touch with him and I don't have a phone with me and I never memorized my number!" I hissed.

"Khalil, we both know you were just acting right? I'm not giving my calling card to just anybody" he whispered

"Come on, I liked him!" I hissed almost pouting

"So?" He raised his eyebrow

"Give me or I'll scream" I warned

"Here we go again, listen, I don't even know if he's a threat or not," he explained.

"He's not, I know"

"He's not what I meant, I'm talking bout the guy next to him" he gestured his head.

I averted my eyes towards Zoren and I just noticed that he quite has the body and I could tell he's observant and had the strangest vibe.

I turned back towards Jarred. "Are you threatened?" I taunted

He side-eyed me and smirked. "You don't know what threatened me" he stated roughly as he handed me a piece of paper making me grinned

"Hey Gab, I'd like to keep in touch here, call me if you need some advice" I started winking at him knowingly.

"Uh- okay" he hesitantly accepted as the whole place lit up before we heard the emcee speak.

"The police are on their way, we would like all of you to cooperate for the search operation and the authorities have ordered to not let anyone leave this place just yet, not before searching, if anyone caught on the act escaping you'll face the consequences" the emcee declared with a threat.

"Oho? I'm scared" I heard Jarred chuckling silently.

"Well, aren't you?" I was a bit worried.

"Not even the slightest"

"We might be caught!" I hissed

"Not if we escape smoothly" he whispered.

"Wtf? How is that even possible?!" I dreaded

"Now, now who's scared?" He teased as he started to walk

"Come on,"  he added but I didn't make a move.

"No? Alright your choice" he continued retreating when I ran to him scowling.

"I thought you wouldn't-"

"Shut up." I hissed and he chuckled.
