CHAPTER TEN

ANONYMOUS POV

"Finally, my plans are getting accomplished little by little and I must say that I am impressed to some extent," I said as I relaxed on my couch and watched one of the media publish the news from Stanley's interview on the screen. 

"He looked like he was going to snap and collapse on the spot. The Funny thing is that I am just getting started with him, I would make sure he regrets being alive. Stanley is right where I want him". The thought sent a shiver of excitement down my spine as I took a sip of my juice and changed the channel to a football match between a long rival Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

Moments later, my phone rang and surprisingly the caller was one of my most trusted minions, Jessica Campbell. 

"Speak" I ordered immediately, my voice firm as I picked up the phone 

"Good day boss" she began "I believe that I have completed my part of the mission. Am I permitted to return to Canada where I came from," she asked her voice laced with fear and worry 

I get the reason why she must have been afraid to make this request, she's aware that I can make both her life and her boyfriend's life miserable with just a phone call, I thought as I paused for a moment before I responded 

"You mean you want to leave?" I said my voice cold and calm 

I sighed and continued, my tone turned menacing "And where the hell do you think you are going? I don't think you understand, Jessica. You aren't going anywhere. Not until I say so" 

"What exactly do you want from me again, have done all you asked me to, lured my best friend to you, gave you all the information you wanted when she gave birth, what else do you want exactly" she replied her voice trembling an expression of nervousness and anxiety 

"Are you shouting at me, Jessica?" I asked my voice low and deadly. My anger rising already as I adjusted my position on the couch 

I took a deep breath "You need to understand something, Jessica. That Canada you want to return to, I can make sure that you don't even get there" 

"No one does what you do, not even your dumbass boyfriend. You are one of the few I can trust and you are mine until I say otherwise, Jessica" I responded calmly trying to get her to understand how important she is to me.

"Boss, this is a lot… I can't continue to be your hostage and am getting burned out already. I also need my freedom" she said, her voice low and desperate as she pleaded.

"Let's be clear about something Jessica, you have two choices here. You can stay, finish what you've started, and leave peacefully once you are done. Or, you can walk away now and I can guarantee that it won't be as peaceful as you think no matter where you go, I will find you" I responded with a dangerous undertone 

Am sure her heart must have been racing with fear when she asked quietly, her voice trembling "Are you threatening me now Boss?"

I leaned forward, my eyes glinting with menace as I responded coldly "I'm just making sure you understand the consequences of any action you take. You don't have a choice. You are either with me, or you are against me. And am sure you don't want to be on the bad side" 

"Fine, I will stay but once I am done with your little devious plan, I'm gone for good" She resigned herself to her fate after a silent moment 

I chuckled a little with a hint of satisfaction and immediately ended the call, dropped my phone, and continued sipping my drink.

I don't want to rush myself, I want to make this slow and painful for Stanley, making it fast won't be any fun at all. He needs to go through all I went through after the death of my parents. I need to end his political career he's about to start. 

An insider of the ruling party of the state just told me that he has informed some people close to him that he is willing to run for the gubernatorial election and become the next governor of the state 

Well, he has the money and the power but not on my watch is he going to win. I would make sure I stand in his way and I would make sure he loses what's left of his dignity. I thought as I began thinking of a new plan and how to execute it. 

Stanley's POV

I was about to drift off to sleep, my eyes heavy, and my breathing slowed when I was interrupted by a loud noise coming from outside my room, piercing through the walls and shattering the peaceful atmosphere. 

At first, It was a faint noise, but soon it escalated into a rattle of laughter and chatter echoing through the hallway 

Curious as to what could have been the cause of the noise, I sat up in bed, my eyes scanning the darkened room. I looked at the clock on the nightstand and saw that it was already a few minutes to midnight and this piqued my curiosity. "Where's this noise coming from?" 

I couldn't endure the noise again and I became frustrated. I tossed off the duvet covering me and got out of bed. I stepped out of my room and surprisingly all the ruckus and disturbance were all coming from Flora's room right opposite mine. 

As I moved closer the noise became louder, angrily I turned the handle and pushed open the door slowly and I was taken aback by what I saw. 

It was a show on the TV that was screaming and Flora was… well, she was riding someone on the bed. 

My eyes widened in shock, and the person partially hidden by Flora's thrashing position on him was none other than Micheal!!!!!!!!!!

My mind reeled as I struggled to process what I was seeing. Flora and Micheal? On the same bed? And surprisingly Flora is the one riding him. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I stood still, frozen and shocked, as the TV continued to scream in the background
