Chapter 4 - A man called King

Past eight!" Her subconsciousness yelled at her and she ran into the closing door startling her colleague. A busty round woman came out with a disdainful expression as she stared at Adrianna.

" Please Mrs Stephanie. The bus driver . He....." Adrianna stuttered hesitantly and it made Stephanie brows creased curiously. 

" He what.?" Stephanie hissed slowly yet curious , she took a brief glance at Adrianna torn dress and dirty looks 

" Don't tell me. He mistook you for a beggar and chased you out of the bus ." Imogen the colleague she ran into spat out with a distasteful look on her face as she stared down at Adrianna knees, her eyes flattered " You poor thing, how could you leave a wound untreated." Imogen glared at Adrianna like I was her fault she got injured" Don't you know it will affect your productivity at work today. !" Stephanie snapped infuriated, she ran her fingers into her blonde hair as she grasped her phone to make a call. " Imogen take care of the wound." Stephanie muttered before the call connected " Yes Beca ! I saw your missed call."She chirped loudly as she strutted out elegantly with her back sided swaying with every moment 

" He proposed !" Stephanie loud gasp followed as she shrieked loudly . Adrianna ears slowly twitched. Stephanie can make all the noise yet after all consumer hasn't started tropping. 

Stephanie is what you can a lukewarm person , she doesn't hate or like. She is very professional and mindful. She is an American woman who found herself in Spain because of marriage but after she divorced her abusive husband she refused to move back to America because she had fallen in love with Spain. Isn't life an irony? . Adrianna grimaced painfully , she would do anything to get away from the painful clutches of Aunt Clarice even if it means running away but that's impossible too. Where would she run to ?

" Here ." Imogen shoved the first aid kit to Adrianna chest . 

" Thank you." Adrianna mumbled incoherently staring down at her soiled shoes. Yes , she has inferiority complex which is dealing with her badly. 

Imogen shook her head in self pity " Why are you dressed like this on a beautiful Monday." She snapped but Adrianna sensed concern behind the cold voice and it made her smile a little. 

" Why the hell are you smiling!" Imogen frowned standing akimbo as she stared at Adrianna torn blouse .

" Shouldn't you get new dress and for once look like a human being. A NORMAL one!" Imogen emphasized before turning around with a hair flip that brushed on Adrianna face . It's the usual with Imogen. She is cocky but bit nice when she wants to be. Don't just get on her bad side . 

Unlike her - Adrianna . Imogen is living alone because she graduated last year and she is working whilst looking for a corporate job. Because of her professionalism and her British tone, Madame Stephanie promoted Imogen from sales girl to company supervisor. Well different strokes for different people. 

" Get down here Adrianna!" Debby another staff snapped coldly.

" Coming!" Adrianna mumbled incoherently applying first aid on her knees. She writhe painfully as the spirit met with her bruised knees. " Ouch." Adrianna swallowed her tears and limped to the kitchen. 

" What happened to your leg." Debby wide eye caught her limping , before Adrianna could part her lips to talk. Debby shrugged facing the kitchen sink "Yunno never mind." Debby nonchalantly said. 

Adrianna slowly exhaled as she began washing the dishes. Yes this is her job , the best she could find after six months of job hunts. 

Clarice furiously told her on her eighteen birthday that she - Adrianna is now responsible for her upkeep and will pay as a tenant under her, also pay for the expenses used in taking care of her for the past eight years. If she is done paying which Adrianna estimated to two years, she was free to leave forever if she wants to. 

Clarice words rang in her ears and if Adrianna run off without the payment , she - Clarice would send her to the grave along with her parents . Yes harsh. Adrianna softly sigh. She has been working in McDonald's for 13 months which makes it nine more months to go . After that , what does she really want to do. Yes she had dreams when she was a child , she wanted to be a cloth designer. Yes she drew some sketches in her room but that dream was too expensive for her. Adrianna would stick to this year as long as she could and get a house in town. After all her salary was quite good and it would have been better if she wasn't paying back Aunt Clarice. 

" Adrianna!!!" Debby yelled at her rushing towards the sink. Adrianna eyes snapped open as she saw the water almost filled up. She gave Debby a grateful look. It would have been a problem if soapy water touches Stephanie German tiles , that was what got the last girl fired . 

" Tell me , do you have another job!" Debby yelled at her and Adrianna took in her lips . 

Debby eyes softened " I didn't mean to yell at you. Just be more careful around the kitchen. You know Madame Steph doesn't like that." Debby spoke in a hushed tone of caution which made Adrianna smiled slowly. 

" Here, use it to fix your stomach." Debby handed Adrianna a small bread roll . Adrianna stared at it hesitantly . 

" Seriously." Debby scoffed withdrawing her hand " If you continue walking around with that empty stomach you might faint before you start working. But what's my business anyways." Debby spoke in a low hiss whisper and slowly glided to the waste bin before she disposed the bread roll, Adrianna hurriedly took it from her grasp .

" You want to throw it." Adrianna asked disbelieved while Debby knowingly smirked with her browser raised up. 

" What does it looks like ?" She yanked her hand away but Adrianna gripped the bread roll snatching it from Debby grasp.

" I will eat it. Thank you." Adrianna voice was laced with shame as she took the bread roll, slowly stuffing it into her mouth. The bread roll instantly filled her taste bud , Adrianna got carried away and she chewed hungrily forgetting her manners . 

" Slow down else you might choke." Debby scoffed passing her a glass of water which she drank in a hurry. 

Debby stared at Adrianna puzzled. Well this girl is just a mystery . She never understood how Adrianna spends her money . Yes Adrianna .and her collect the same wage rate but her dressing is way out of her league. Isn't this alarming , yes she would tell Madame Stephanie to seek more information about her whereabouts and she would go visit. Adrianna might be suffering who knows. 

Debby have been trying to ignore this feeling of concern but she learnt that Adrianna was an orphan living with her Aunt and she being an orphan got the clue on what's going on. Unlike Adrianna her guardian ( Her mother brother.) treats her well, even the wife and children welcomed her like family. Yes she would go visit Adrianna home. She would ask Madame Stephanie of Adrianna home address and figure what's really was the problem.

Adrianna eyes welled up in tears as she choked on the bread roll , Debby swiftly came to her aid helping her with a glass of water to swallow . As Adrianna coughed , Debby slowly tapped her back soothingly.

" I told you to slow down." Debby scowled angrily yet Adrianna stared at Debby with her eyes shinning with appreciation. 

" Thank you." Adrianna muttered softly. Debby rolled her eyes disengaging slowly away from Adrianna. 

" Table two. Order, come clean it up!" Imogen loud voice echoed in the kitchen . Adrianna ran to the door but Debby beat her to it. 

" Finish your food." Debby said with another scowl and Adrianna couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her lips. 

In the heart of Mexico most vibrant city , a notorious nightclub pulsed with unbridled energy. The air inside was heavy , filled with charred scent of nicotine and tobacco and the sweet tang of exotic substances. 

Seductive stripper writhed around a gleaming pole , their body barely covered by scrap of viels. Only their faces were smeared making them to look unrecognizable . The sound scape was a mixture of sultry sighs, loud moans echoing as wild slam could be heard as women were sexed in the open air shamelessly. 

" Fuçk!" A loud gasp came from the group of women as men mounted upon them taking turns upon them. It was a mixture of pain and pleasure. 

In the shadowy corners , high stakes gamblers indulged in their vices surrounded by women who catered to their every whim , the women were on their knees sucking dicks of their master . 

Crazy right ? To you it might be . But that's the norms in the Mafia world. Those women were bought as toy - sex toys and it was their duty to serve their master primal urges anywhere , anytime . 

The men , mafia's convened , their hushed conversation mostly about drugs and assassination, among them are politicians seated while smoking their lungs away. One of the female bit her master dick unable to take him whole again. 

" Puta maldita ( Fucking bitch.!'" The master growled angrily and gripped the sex toy hair. 

The women lowered her gaze while trembling fearfully " Master." She whimpered painfully with tears rolling down her face as she felt cold steel on her forehead , the men watched with devilish excitement. 

" Finish her off Mr King ."The men shouted their voice slurry and their eyes glazed over the effects of the substances they had just consumed.

" How dare she bit the kings ball." Another group of drunk politicians laughed .

"Does she want to send you to the grave.." Another group of politician sneered . 

The man named Cassius. A heavy built man , dangerously beautiful , with gray eyes and well chiseled features with tattoos and earring on every part of his body stared at the politicians with a dark smirk on his gaze " I will deal with her after you guy's." 

" What are you talking about." The politicians cackles loudly gulping down the drugged wines down their throats. 

One of them stood up alarmed but it was already too late . Cassius silent bullet found it's mark on their bodies almost too swiftly and the politicians fell on their faces to the floor dead . It was a snipper bullet but the guards which stood outside were alerted.

" That was more easier than I imagined. Oh too boring" Cassius sneered his voice dripping with sarcasm , with a swift motion , he snatched the hard drive , a suitcase overflowing with cash and a stash of illicit drugs . He snatched the micro chip from his suit with a dry laughter.

" It's cute that you tried though. " His eyes darkened as he sensed wild stomp on the metal door. 

" Mr King's!" A voice yelled . Cassius snatched the buds from his ears with a low hiss before inserting it back. 

" Habla ( Talk.) " Cassius muttered darkly with his gray eyes on the women whimpering beneath his feet.

" The police are around." The voice announced politely . 

Cassius gaze darkened , his lips curling up into a sardonic smile " More fun tonight then. " He disconnected the buds before the caller could speak .

" Beber ( Drink .) Cassius sat down with his long legs crossed on another elegantly, the women took it without caution and he smirked running his tounge slowly on his earing on his lips. 

" What you just drank is poison. The antidote is in the sixty one floor of the hotel, and it's just five minutes before the building is set ablaze by me. " Devilish excitement swirled around his eyes as he listened to their helpless sobs. 

" Try to make it out alive and if you do. You can dare spill out a word and get visited by the devil who will drag you down to hell . For a fleeting moment his eyes glowered insanely . The women recoiled fearfully . Cassius tilted his head to the back door and they scram off for safety. 

Cassius leaned on the chair rest as the stomping on the door still continues. The guards are forcing their way in while the police are surrounding the building.

Well , Cassius had found out that Abel , his business partner had snitched on him along with the order. They were going to arrest Cassius and take the money and the drug. The had no idea of who they were messing with . 

Cassius slowly yawned as the guards whispered among themselves " let's go upstairs and break in through the roof. 

" Yes. Go upstairs , silly mortals." Cassius whispered hoarsely and took a glance at his wrist watch. Three minutes left. 

Loud screams were heard in the room as the police barged into the clubhouse with bullets flying around. The Mafia , bold one's retaliated and it became a bloody mess , strippers scrambled around for their safety running out of the clubhouse as the fight went on. 

Cassius opened his eyes and stood up with a lazy stretch. He approached the door and stared at the lock which flew open. A pair of hand grabbed his throat. 

Cassius scoffed unimpressed , he swiftly averted the next attack with his eyes glowering in rage. " How dare you , silly mortal." His eyes glowered with grayish color and fangs slowly seeped out from his lips. 

" Fuçk!" The guard eye widened at that incredulity. He peeped on his pants that instant " Please sir , I had no idea you were the one in there....." His words were cut off as Cassius claw went deep into his chest and brought out his heart still beating. The man eye widened horrified, he dropped dead that instant. 

Cassius gave a bloody smirk as he bursted the heart " Bloody mortal and their disrespect." He cussed striding out of the building unseen and as soon as he exited out of the building. Boom the building collapsed burning ablaze. 

A dark smirk appeared on Cassius lips as screams of anguish filled his ears as the building was slowly consumed by flames.. The red flames excited Cassius and a dark smirk grace his lips as he stared at the red glow of burning flame. His eyes gleamed darkly with his smirk widening. He loves pain and destruction and this was a beautiful masterpiece to him.

" How mesmerizing." Cassius whispered hoarsely pulling his tobacco into his mouth . He turned around with majestic strides as he drove off with his sleek black Porsche car. 

Do mythological creatures exist. Oh hell yeah! but their existence is said to be forgotten along with time, mortal love living in denial and would do anything to get rid of the theory of superstition. 

But mythological creatures are everywhere, lurking behind shadows . In form of human , they are roaming around the street. And unmistakable, Cassius King De Lucas was a one creature, a powerful one unmistaken. But who is Cassius or should i say what is Cassius King De Lucas? .
