Baby

Camala after some thoughts opened the door for Dieago to come in.

"Now what do you want!?", Camala questioned Dieago who was now sitted feeling at home.

"Let's have another deal Clara", Dieago proposed.

"Camala..., besides what kinda dea are we talking about?"Camala grinned at Dieago.

"The type that involves money", Dieago replied with a smirk.

"And what makes you think I need ya money?".

"You could buy a new house,a car,live a Savage life...".

"Enough info!!,how much are we talking about?", Camala asked with a roll of eyeballs.

"Like always, just name ya price".

"Hmmpff,I do like the sound of that", Camala said to have Dieago smile with high hopes.

"But am not interested", Camala said heading back to the door"Out you go now", Camala said opening the door in a grand style while Dieago frowned at her rejection.

"3 million dollars every end of the month".

"Still not interested".

"5 mill.....".

"My eggs!!", Camala exclaimed as she dashed into the kitchen to save her scrambled eggs, Camala's face tightened at the sight of the burnt eggs.Storming back into the sitting room she headed for the door and yelled"Out!!",at the top of her lungs.

"Okay take it easy"Dieago said raising both hands in surrender as he got up from his sit."But just in case you would be needing this", Dieago said placing his card on the occasion stool closet to his couch.

"Thanks, but I won't be needing anything from you"Camala replied with a force smile, ushering Dieago out of the apartment."And don't forget to never return", Camala pressed in as she watched Dieago getting back into his SUV car.

"Stupid guy,now my eggs got to suffer for ya stupidity", Camala grumbled to herself as she headed back to the kitchen with slumped shoulders"Stupid",she scoffed at the sight of Dieago's card.

Camala felt really at ease when weeks past and Dieago didn't show up his 'Stupid face', not even in the eatery.On her off today, she decided to take her new little adorable doggy Tracy on a walk.Her hair is parted in two and held in bun,she was putting on a white crop top singlet with a black leather jacket which was left unbuttoned on a short black leather skirt which stopped a long way above her knees exposing her seductive legs,she had a pair of black booth hill,she also had dark glasses on,all this mixture of black and white made her look all hot and sexy as always as she held the white band connected to Tracy's neck.

Camala sat down on a bench in the park feeding on her phone while her dog mingled with it's new friends.When it was finally time to go home,she raised up her head to find Tracy running to the exit gate and without a second thought she ran after it only to bump into two men who she knew quite alright worked for a fellow named Lugard,a man from the underworld who took interest in her right from the first time he set his eyes on her back when she was still a teenager.

He visited the club most of the time just to watch Camala dance, unfortunately for Camala she became his girl when her best friend fell heal and was in dying need of an heart transplant, she had run to sir George the owner of Dejavu club for help but she got noyhing only to be referred to his so called trusted friend'Lugard', and now she owes him her life.

"Boss wants to have a word with you",One of the heavily built men announced with a serious look on his face.

"Great!!,just great!!", Camala exclaimed only in her head, just when she thought she is a free bird someone has to show up and remind her that, that could only happen in her dream world,she knew very well that she had paid this bastard every single penny she owe's him,but he still won't let her be and she dares not fight back except she wants to be thrown off a cliff alive.

Camala obediently got into the waiting Jeep, carrying Tracy in her hand as she sat beside Lugard,she couldn't help but choke by the smell of the fumes from Lugard's litted pipe.

"It's been a while now", Lugard spoke with a glass of alcohol in handy.

"I thought have paid off every single penny I owe you", Camala replied with a stern vioce filled with hatred.

"The last time I checked,you still owe me millions of dollars,you don't wanna know", Lugard said with a smirk.

"And the last time I che...",The gun pionted in front of Camala's head by one of Lugard's man sitting at the gun short sit was enough to shut her up as she glared dagger's at him.

"You where saying something baby", Lugard said and chuckled.The windows of the car were all screwed up and Camala knew better not to play with a man from the underworld who could do absolutely anything to a peasant like herself and get away with it without any trouble from the FBI.

"I haven't seen you in club for a while now,why is that?", Lugard questioned taking a sip from his glass.

"I..I.. have been feeling unwell lately", Camala managed to push those words out through gritted tooth's.

"Really!!?", Lugard exclaimed as if suprised ,as he checked her temperature using his palm to touch her neck and forehead like a doctor would do while Camala sat still with a face deviod of emotions."Your temperature is fine and you look well to me".

"It..comes and go, it's not regular".

"Have you perhaps seen a doctor?"

"No....,I think I can handle it".

"Go see a doctor,I can't risk ya life"Lugard ordered"And send me the test result".

"It won't be necessary,am alright now", Camala was quick to reject the offer.

"Are you trying to hide from me baby?", Lugard questioned palming Camala's cheeks with both hands looking all tensed up by the thought of his little baby Camala trying to run away from him.Baby is the name he gave to Camala since the day he set his eyes on her,he has always had this strong feeling's of love for her even though he was old enough to be her father and he knew very well Camala would never harbor any thought of being his lover definitely not when she's in her right mind,and so without a second thought he had lend her the huge amount of money she had requested of him as a bait, trapping her in his cage where he would never let go of her.

"I would never hide from anything,or anyone"Camala replied boldly with a face set up with irritation.

"That's how I love my baby, always bold even in the race of death", Lugard spoke out loudly while laughing and patting Camala's cheek an action Camala found annoying but could not complain since she still loved and cherish her life."You never stop to amaze me baby", Lugard remarked leaving Camala's face which he had forcefully turned to face him, while he spoke to her looking right into her eyes,to retrieve his glass of alcohol which he sipped from again.

"You've got yourself a new friend", Lugard remarked staring blankly at nothing in particular."She's as scared as you are", Lugard said and as if Tracy could hear him she whispered in response as she snuggled herself in Camala's hands for protection.

"A little birdy whispered something to me about a boyfriend?"Lugard said with his vioce deviod of emotion.

Camala had thought she was only being stalked by Dieago but here is another stalker, isn't it great news."I don't have anything with him", Camala grinned in reply.

"I love the sound of that"Lugard smirked.

"Well I'll be seeing you on stage tommorow night,am bringing some important guests and am sure they would love to see my baby perform".

"Sure"Camala muttered a reply.

"We are done here then, take this you would need it", Lugard said throwing a clip of money at Camala, which hit Tracy and made her whimper more in fear,but Camala stepped out of the car and put on her glasses which she had hung in front of her singlet and continue her stroll back home.

"My baby is being silly..."Lugard said flipping the money he had thrown at her,"I want you guys to keep a close watch on her and if that guy show's up again, gather as much info you can get about him"Lugard ordered.

"Yes sir"his men chorused.

"How was the last operation?",he questioned as the car began to move.

"Everything went well boss",one of the man who seemed to be the leader replied.

"Any dead corpse?".

"The leader of their trope,and we cleaned every trace of it".

"Good"Lugard said nodding his head thoughtfully.

Although Dieago didn't show up around Camala for weeks,he made sure his guards where on the watch and Michael just delivered the video of Camala getting into the Jeep with some unknown men.

"I want you to copy the plate number of the car and send it to me", Dieago ordered.

"Yes boss",came Michael's quick reply,after Dieago received the message from Michael he dailed Louis number.

"I want you to search the plate number am gonna search you,I want you to get every single detail of it's owner"Dieago ordered as soon as the call connected.

"I..."

"And I want the details tonight"Dieago added before hanging up on Louis who was about to complain about his tight schedule.

Flora walked into the room to find Camala cleaning her gun, looking all serious with her face deviod of emotion,Flora could feel the tension in the air.

"Xup babe?"Flora questioned looking all stressed up herself.

"Am fine", Camala replied still focused on cleaning her gun.

"Ain't you gonna ask how my today went?"Flora questioned with raised eyebrows, still sitted tiredly on the sofa.

"How did ya today go?".

"Come on what's up with the gun?".

"Oh..., it's for somebody", Camala replied reluctantly.

"Somebody...!?,who?,not anyone I know of right?".

"Depends on who you know".

"Die..."

"Nope,for that bastard man", Camala grinned and Flora was suddenly on her feet's looking all terrified.

"You met Lugard!!?".

"Don't you worry, everything is going to be just fine"Camala reassured.

"Fine!!?, what does he want now?".

"Same thing he has been asking for".

"Oh my God!!, this can't be happening!!".

"I said everything is going to be fine".

"Don't tell me that?,I got you into this mess".

"Oh plzz don't start now!!".

"What do we do now Camala, this man is clearly after ya life,you and I know that!,and he would stop at nothing till he get's it",Flora blurted pacing in the room.

"Then he would die trying to get it", Camala replied with her vioce filled of hatred.

"Babe you don't know what ya saying".

"I don't think I need to know that..".

"Babe this might sound stupid coming from me, but I think you should really consider that guys proposal".

"No can do"Camala said rejecting Flora's idea.

"You don't know that"

"plzz tell me"Camala asked.

"Plzz play Clara"Flora pleaded.

"What!!?".

"Yeah babe,we don't have a chioce".

"Am definitely not doing that crap".

"Babe..., it's for the cash, nothing else, don't you wanna get rid of Lugard?".

"You know i want to".

"Then playing Clara,you will".

"No I won't", Camala pressed on being stubborn.

"Why won't you!?".

"Can't you see getting involve with Dieago or whatever he is called is same situation we are facing here with Lugard,I can't get rid of one problem and jump into another one, prolly a bigger one!!".

"You don't know that".

"You don't know that either".

"Plzz Camala,have a rethink,we don't have much time here, maybe you can't see it but that man is not after money,he craves ya body!!".Flora exclaimed looking all stressed out.

"I know that!!".

"Then think!!,a young rich CEO,or you would rather spend the rest of ya life with a old man from the under world?",Flora words rang out loudly in Camala's ears.
