? ARIZONA ?
( His Crazy Queen… )
CHAPTER 52&53
By, Naomi Cindy B
Penelope stopped the car in front of Vince’s place and they both came out of the car but she held him immediately.
“What did you just do back there!, You hurt her feelings!, How could you be so emotionless when you love her so much!” She said.
“I don’t love her!, Everything that happened to my family is because of her!, Prescott killed me because of her and my mum died from the shock!” He yelled.
“Madam Alena has leukemia!, Even if the shock didn’t take place she’d still die!” She yelled back.
“But not so soon, I’ll still be beside her during her death, I wasn’t chanced to hear her last words, do you care to know about my feelings too?, I could have died!” He shouted.
“Ok fine…that bi-tch saved you and told you to stay with Arizona if you want her to spare your life, how are you gonna go about that when you’re hurting the poor miss”
“Prescott will surely come after me again if I stay beside her, I’m just a poor boy who has to protect his junior brother, even if he kills me, no one will ask him” he replied.
“If you stay with Arizona, Prescott will hunt you down, if you stay away from her, the witch will hunt you down too, what the Fu-ck is this” Penelope sighed.
“I never agreed to stay with Arizona before you saved me from that den, and I can still handle the witch more than Prescott” he replied and walked in.
“He’s making everything confusing, ion even know what to think” Penelope said and entered too but shockingly, Prescott is in with Javi, Blaze is sitting in front of them fearlessly.
“What…are you doing here?” Vince asked.
Prescott smiled and stood then walked to him, he placed an hand on his shoulder.
“Good boy” he laughed annoyingly.
Vince stared blankly.
“You know I was infuriated and angry when I heard about your return, I thought of just killing you again but seems there’s no nee-d for that anymore since you’ve decided to let go of what’s mine, I saw the drama on the road earlier, good job Vince, you’re wise for hating her, if not for her, I wouldn’t have killed you right?, And maybe your mum would still be alive by now… it’s all her fault” he said.
Vince folded his fist, controlling himself.
“Ion know who saved you but accolades to the person, and for the pains my Arizona caused you and your family, I’ll pay for it” Prescott said and snapped his fin-gers.
Javi dropped a suitcase on the table and opened it, it’s full of cash, stacked with it to the brim.
“That’s to pay for the problems I and my Arizona caused you, that cash is enough to make you a rich guy if you spend it well” Prescott said, patting Vince.
Vince continued folding his fist ha-rdly and in the process, his nails wounded his fin-gers, his blood dripped down in droplets.
“And stay on your words, hate my Arizona forever, I’m the only one who has the right to love and Fu-ck her, her V¡rginity belongs to my di-ck” he said and signalled at Javi.
They started leaving.
“Get your filthy money out of this place!” Blaze yelled.
Prescott smiled and turned back.
“Commando, I was expecting you to speak, you don’t nee-d the money?, Vince told Arizona to withdraw her sponsorship, schooling will be ha-rd” he said trickily.
“We don’t nee-d your money, so take it away” Vince said.
“Or is it too small?” Prescott asked.
They all kept quiet.
“Are you sure y’all won’t regret not taking this?” He asked again.
“Fu-ck off with your money already!, Fu-ck!, Off!” Penelope yelled.
“A new family member?” Prescott said.
“Get your face out of this house” Blaze said.
Javi took the suitcase and Prescott smiled.
“If you still change your mind, you can come for the money anytime, I’m nice” he said and finally left with Javi.
“Shit!, I wish I could just kill him and…gosh!” Penelope ranted angrily.
“Hyung, did you really tell Miss Arizona you hate her?” Blaze asked.
Vince started walking in but Blaze blocked the door.
“She’s not the cause of all these!, None of this is her fault so stop hurting her!, It was love, put all the blames on love and just get her!, Claim her please!, I know how madly you love this lady, stop pretending! you’re hurting yourself too!” Blaze shouted.
“I told him but he won’t listen” Penelope said.
“And now that I know that Prescott is the real culprit who killed you, I swear I’ll kill him” Blaze said seriously.
“Don’t do anything stupid, he’s not someone you can kill just because you want to” Vince said.
“But you can do it Vince!, I know you can face him, I know you very well and I know what you’re capable of, stop being scared, you’re just scared and it’ll ruin everything!” Blaze shouted again.
Vince slowly pushed him out of the way before entering the room.
Blaze walked back to the living room and started staring into space.
“Well…I’m a taxi driver, the only female taxi driver in Korea, the witch boarded my car to the hidden location twice, and as the curious cat I am, I followed her in the second time, that was when I saw Vince unconscious on the be-d, he looked pathetic and .. horrible, he saw me and asked for help weakly, I decided to help, then I made an escape plan and saved him, gosh!, If that witch should suspect me then I’m dead” Penelope said.
“Do you know Vince before?” Blaze asked.
“Well… Yes, we attended Juringnam highschool together, but back then, I was a tomboy, short hair” she replied.
“By any chance….are you …
“Cee” they both said.
“Cee?” Blaze said, looking at her long hair surprisingly.
“I’m not a tomboy anymore, i grew my hair, I’m just a girl who wants revenge right now” she replied seriously.
“Prescott…did something to you?”
“He ra-ped my se-nior sister till death last year” she replied.
“What!”
“Yes, she was my only sibling cos we lost our parents long ago, she was ra-ped and though no evidence was found that he ra-ped her, but I’m very sure it’s him, he was obsessed with my sis” Penelope said.
Blaze kept looking at her.
“And since then, I’ve been looking for ways to take that animal out of the surface of the earth, I became homeless, I sleep beside waste trucks every night till two weeks ago when I found my sister’s savings, I decided to buy a taxi and start driving since my late dad was a driver, and…here I am right now” she said.
Blaze kept looking at her pathetically.
“Stop giving me that look, I hate it” she said.
“Who’s the witch?, the witch that saved Vince from the river?” Blaze asked.
*****
Vince sat in front of the mirror in the room and looked at his bleeding fin-gers.
He let out a loud sigh and bandaged it before opening the drawer, he brou-ght out a box containing the anklet.
The one she got for Arizona before he was kidnapped.
He opened it and smiled sadly when he saw the anklet, it’s still so beautiful.
He looked at the mirror again and started reminiscing.
FLASHBACK, A WEEK AGO**
Vince’s head felt wobbly and his eyes felt heavy and hot as he regained his consciousness.
He couldn’t take in where he was at first so he closed his hurting eyes and opened it again after a while.
His view became clearer though not completely.
He realized his environment is dark, pitch black.
He remembered getting stabbe-d by Prescott and how he pressed his wound with his shoe, how he died.
Seeing that he’s still alive is shocking.
He tried sitting up but pains came in folds, gripping his stomach harshly.
“Arrggg!” He let out a loud Gr0-n and relented immediately.
The sounds of heels tapping the ground started coming him and he stayed still as it got closer and closer till it stopped.
After a sec, a sp-otlight came on, almost blinding his eyes.
He closed his eyes quickly and when he opened it, he saw a standing figure, blur at first but it started getting clearer and clearer.
He made to raise his hand and shadow the lights entering his eyes but then he realized he was chained to the be-d.
The figure grinned and he looked at it again, a pa-rt of her face is visible .
“Where am I?, Who are you?” He asked and the figure started bending to him, slowly and gently till it stopped right on top of his face.
“Arielle Lee?” He said surprisingly.
“Welcome back to life, I saved you from the river after my boyfriend killed you” she smiled
“Your… boyfriend?”
“Prescott”
“Then let me go” he said.
“The whole of Korea believe you’re dead right now, after saving you, I killed one of my guards that has same bo-dy structure as you, I planted two bullets in his che-st and stabbe-d him just like Prescott did to you, then I gouged out his eyes and made his face unrecognizable, I switched your clothes and threw him back in the river, they found him and thought it was you, it’s so fun seeing Arizona cry and even attem-pted suicide” she laughed.
“Why did you save me?”
“That’s not the right question, you should have asked how’s your mother doing, even if she’s crawling she’ll be in heaven by now, she died of leukemia” Arielle giggled and Vince’s eyes wide-ned.
“No, no you’re lying, mum can’t die!”
Arielle pla-yed the video of Alena’s burial on her phone and Vince started crying.
“Why are you doing this to us why!!, Why!!” He shouted and his wounds began bleeding.
“Shouting is not for you right now, you’ll bleed” she said.
“Arrggghh!!!!!!” He cried loudly and Arielle laughed.
“Aww, he loves his mum so much….but your brother’s life is in danger cos my boyfriend will try to clear him off too, to protect him, you’ll have to leave here but to leave here, you’ll have to do what I say” she smi-rked
Vince continued crying loudly and his bandage is covered with blood already.
“Prescott is obsessed with Arizona and when he’s obsessed, he’ll do everything to get the lady, I love him and I want him for myself alone, you seem to be in love with that psycho Arizona, ion want her happiness but I just have to do this, after I rele-ase you, stick with Arizona, don’t leave her side, claim her and try to make Prescott stay away from her, make Prescott look at only me” she said and Vince stopped crying.
She brou-ght out the anklet box and the locket, dropping it on the be-d beside him.
“You were holding to the locket even unconsciously and I found the anklet box in your trousers pocket while switching your clothes” she said and held his face, bringing out an injection.
“Are you ready to stick with Arizona and get out of here or….do otherwise and die after receiving this in your bo-dy?” she said.
“Kill me” he replied immediately and she shoved the injection into his ne-ck.
“Arrggghh!!!!!!” He yelled.
END OF FLASHBACK**
Vince held his head before covering his face with his palms.
When he removed it, he looked at his palm again then back at the mirror.
“Prescott, Arielle” he muttered.

NEXT MORNING, 10AM, ARIZONA’S MANSION**
“Boss is sick?” Yang asked surprisingly when one of her maids told him.
He has been expecting her at work but she didn’t show up and that’s why he’s here.
“Yes, she came home we-t from the rain last night, she was unconscious”
“Unconscious.. what!” He said loudly and though he has never entered her house, he rushed in and ran upstairs, he was showed to her room.
He opened the door and met her in be-d, she’s sitting up, ki-ssing a small teddy that’s with her.
“Ligament” she said weakly.
“Boss are you ok?” He walked to her be-d.
“It’s beautiful right?” She said, showing him the teddy.
“Yes, but you’re not a fan of teddies, you hate teddies” he said
“My sweet candy gave me this so it’s kind of special* she whispered.
“Why were you unconscious last night?, Why did you enter the rain?” He asked.
“To hu-g my sweet candy” she replied.
“What are you saying?”
Her expression changed immediately and she started crying.
“Boss…” Yang said shockingly.
“Ligament he hates me,he told me he hates me, I dunno what to do, I can’t even take him out of my head no matter how much I try, he kept enchanting me, I love him like…do you know what it feels like to be a poor person and suddenly win millions of dollars?” She said.
“I’ll surely lose my sanity at first” he replied.
“Exactly Yang, I’m insane right now, I can’t even think anything, he’s everywhere in my head, he’s trying to drive me mad but he hates me Ligament, he hates me and it hurts, it hurts I dunno why it hurts that much, I want to feel him and to-uchhim again, I want to ki-ss him and tell him I love him like million times, I want him beside me but he hates me” she cried out.
Yang pulled her into a comforting hu-g as she continued crying.
“I’ll talk to Vince, now please stop crying”.
*******
HAESUNG UNIVERSITY, 12PM**
“I’m hungry!” br@nson said loudly after the first three cl@$$es.
“You’re always hungry” Chrissy replied but immediately Vince looked at her, she looked away.
“Chrissy can follow you, I’m not interested in going to the cafeteria” Vince said.
“I’m not interested too” Chrissy replied.
“Guys…” br@nson pouted.
“I mean it, not just today” Vince said.
“Ok bye” br@nson said curtly and left the cl@$$.
Vince faced Chrissy immediately.
“Are you feeling guilty?, Is your conscience haunting you?” He asked.
“Vince look….it wasn’t…
“Intentional?, Why did you lie to me just why!, Why are you suddenly behaving different” he said and tears started threatening to fall from her eyes.
“I’m so sorry, I just love you so much and I couldn’t help it..”
“So you decided to lie to me that you’re my red-faced girl?, You made a fool out of me”
“I’m sorry”
He packed his books in his bag and started leaving.
“Vince we’re still friends right?” She asked but he didn’t answer till he left the cl@$$.
He walked out of school and met Arielle in front of it.
“Get in” she said, opening her car door.
He ignored her and continued walking.
“You’re pla-ying with fire, how dare you go against me!, Who the hell made you escape!” She yelled.
“You don’t have a gun?, Shoot me and make me die” Vince replied before entering a cab.
“Shit!” Arielle hit her palm on her car, her phone beeped and she got it, it’s a message from Byung.
*BRING YOUR GUN TO THE BRIDGE TOMMOROW NIGHT, I nee-d TO BORROW IT*
She smi-rked darkly.
“I’ll make tommorow your deathday Byung” she said.
*****
NIGHT, 8PM, A BAR**
Arizona just finished drinking the fifth bottle of alcohol and she’s utterly drunk already but she still craves for more.
She had to sneak out of the house so her guards won’t follow her.
She switched off her phone earlier so there’ll be no disturbance.
She thought she nee-ded this but it’s not true cos right now even with the drunkenness, she’s seeing only him.
Vince.
“He hates me” she said, taking one of the empty bottles.
“It’s empty!,… Gimme another bottle… another..one” she said tipsily, rolling her eyes.
She’s the only one in the bar prese-ntly.
“Miss, you’ve drank five already, it’s prohibited to serve drunk customers” the bartender replied and she grinned.
“One more bottle!, Just.. one” she said , standing from her seat.
The bartender was about to talk again when someone suddenly injected him from behind, he went down and Javi came to view.
Prescott entered the bar and smiled.
Arizona turned her eyes, facing him.
“Who…are .you?, An astronaut?, Hahahaha, this is not the sky so get out” she blabbered.
“Finally, I’ll get to Fu-ck you” Prescott smiled before carrying her on his shoulder, taking her out.
“I’m…I’m…so..sad” she spewed.
“You’ll be happy once my big co-ck is inside you baby” Prescott said as he got out of the bar and dropped her in his car, she sle-pt off immediately.
“Drive home Javi, I’d love to Fu-ck her on my be-d” Prescott ordered.
