★HIS PAINS★
Juliet’s eyes remained bulged as their eyes bored into each other.
She ran out of ideas on what to think or do in this kind of situation.
Her boss just grabbed her wa-ist for the second time today and this time it came with a question.
She quickly released herself from his hold and took a step away from him.
“What do you say?” Romeo asked, his eyes still not leaving her.
Juliet looked at him again but when their eyes met, she looked away.
“How can… grabbing…my.. wa-ist be called… humane behavior?, … that’s not what I… meant” she said in an awkward stutter.
“Then…how do I go about it?” He asked, surprising her more.
She looked at him and blinked once. “I told you to see a therapist, I’m not one” she said and started shifting back slowly.
“Wait..
He made to say something but she left already.
She walked down the road fastly and Romeo inhaled, going back to his car.
Juliet rushed into the sto-re and Gina looks too shocked to see her drenched.
No customer in the shop since it’s currently raining.
“You left this place with two umbrellas, why this?” She asked.
“Nothing, I lost the umbrellas on the way” Juliet replied.
“Lost the umbrellas on the way?”
“Yes mum” she replied and entered the locker room.
She pulled off her we-tclothes and changed into something else before coming out.
Gina noticed her dullness and went closer.
“What’s wrong?, Did Rex do something bad?” She asked, holding her face gently.
“Tell me baby” she coaxed.
“Mum!!!” Juliet finally let it all out, hu-gging Gina as she cried.
“Juliet” Gina replied, hu-gging her back.
“He said I’m too ugly for his liking, he said even if my face is sp-otless, I’ll still be ugly, he said my pimples scares him” Juliet cried.
“That di-ck head, the only hope he has to live is if we don’t cross ways again, I’ll make him regret being born trust me, now stop crying” Gina petted, stro-king her hair.
“You don’t know how happy i become anytime I wake up and remember you’re actually my daughter Juliet” Gina said.
“Mum” Juliet smiled.
“I hate you” Gina chuckled.
“I hate you more mum” she replied and they hu-gged again.
A slight cough made them break the hu-g only to see Justus by the door.
“Justus” Juliet smiled.
“Son-in-law” Gina waved but Juliet brou-ght her hand down before glaring at her.
Gina smiled as Juliet walked to Justus and took him to the back of the last shelf.
“You really came” she said, facing him.
“Sure, I nee-d to check your ankles” he replied.
“Huh?”
He held her shoulders and pushed her gently to the chair behind her.
She sat and he bent in front of her, taking her right leg.
He pressed his fingers gently on her ankle and she remained still, not showing signs of pains.
He did same to the second ankle but same thing happened, no pains.
“It’s fine trust me” she smiled and he looked at her knees.
“Did you change the plaster this evening?” He asked.
“No” she replied and he removed the plasters gently, he brou-ght out patches from his jacket pocket and attached it instead.
“Thanks” she smiled .
“Did you eat?” He asked.
“Eat?, Oh….yes” she replied.
“I’m quiet hungry” he said.
“Will you take snacks?, I’ll get you hotdogs or hamburger from the shelf” she said and made to stand but he held her down.
“Will you follow me to a nearby restaurant?, I nee-d good food” he said and her stomach rumbled.
She quickly held it, housing her bott-om li-p in her mouth cutely.
“See?, Seems you’re hungry too, let’s go eat together” Justus smiled.

MICHELIN’S PLACE≈9PM
She ate dinner late so she’s just getting done.
She dropped her fork on the plate of steak and took a sip from her cu-p of wine, remembering Romeo’s words.
“I CAN NEVER kizz YOU MICHELIN”
That hurts a lot, to the bone.
She could still remember how he kizzed her ha-rd that night, how she kept mo-aning into his mouth and how his palms worked magic on her body, how he did things to her which she loved so much.
The cu-p fell from her when her throat started itching like she has been expecting.
She ran upstairs and dipped her finger in her throat, she vomited everything she ate for dinner and sat on the ground afterwards, breathing loudly.
This started happening to her seven years ago, her food never digests no matter how cautiously she ate, she’ll end up vomiting it all.
She stood and walked out of the bathroom, her phone started ringing in her pocket, she brou-ght it out and smiled when she saw Krystal on the caller ID.
“Hey princess” she picked happily.
“Mum I miss you!” Krystal shouted.
Michelin smiled wider and was about to reply when another call came in from her spy.
“Princess I’ll call you back ok?, Just one minute” she said and hung up on Krystal.
She picked the call from the spy waited for him to speak.
“I have something to report miss” he said.
“Speak”
“It’d be better to report to you in person” he replied and she hung up.
She left the house and met him waiting outside.
He brou-ght out a white envelope which he handed to her.
“You’re taking too long to clear Megan” she said with a sm-irk.
“She’ll be off by tomorrow” he replied and took a bow before leaving.
She opened the envelope and brou-ght out the content, pictures of what happened between Romeo and Juliet some minutes ago, how he covered her with the jacket and umbrella, how he held her wa-ist and covered her from the splashed water.
Her body shook angrily as she stared at the pictures and she held them ti-ghter.
“How dare you” she muttered, gritting her teeth together.

DETECTIVE SWAN’S HOUSE
Strange in an un-derstatement for what she’s feeling right now as she lay on her bed.
She was supposed to stake out with her squad members but a strong flu made them tell her to go home, she remained adamant but they were stubborn too, telling her to leave.
Though the chief choose thirty from the most well trained officers to be in her squad, she still feels somehow that she’s not with them right now.
‘What if Joel shows up when I’m absent?, What if he eliminates them’
The various encounters she had with Joel seven years ago weren’t easy ones, he’s the strongest criminal she has ever encountered and he’s fas-ter than death, no doubt that he’d have grown stronger.
The various thoughts made her sprang up from bed at once and put on her uniform but while putting on her boots, she grew suspicious and looked up.
She feels this way anytime an uninvited visitor is around so she got her gun and started walking stealthily to the door, staying by the walls.
She pointed her gun to the living room before stepping out there herself, facing the various target angles.
When she felt no movements after going round the whole corners, she stopped and inhaled softly but almost immediately, she felt a sharp move behind herself.
She quickly bent down and avoided the cut, rolling down the living room.
Joel came to view with the usual annoying smile on his merciless face, he’s wearing all black, making him look more like a devil that he is.
“I’ve been expecting you” Swan said, smiling too.
“And here I am” Joel replied and swiftly brou-ght out a small knife which he threw at her but she ducked and shot at him.
He climbed the dinning table and she shot the table, it shattered and he fell on the broken pieces.
He quickly did an handstand, transferring some of the pieces to her with his shoes and though she was quick but they hit her face, wounding her.
Her blood stained her face and Joel laughed, sniffing the smell of her blood.
She started shooting again but the devil’s advocate managed to escape all the bullets so she threw away the gun and went for him.
He threw a punch but she grabbed the punch and hit the wall with it, making him Gr0-n.
She grabbed his head and started grinding it on the wall but the maniac started laughing as she did, as if it’s not even painful.
He suddenly pushed her away and lifted her off her feet, he threw her down and she yelped painfully but she stood immediately, stylishly taking a knife from the things that fell from the dinning.
“You dared to kill me, you dared?” He said meanly, rolling his eyeballs up so only the white part is visible.
“And I’ll send you to hell completely this time!” Swan rushed towards him and jumped on his ne-ck, wanting to sink the knife right there but he blocked with his palm, the knife pene-trated into his palm, coming out at the back of his hand.
She removed it and tried shoving it in his ne-ck again but he shoved her away and she fell against the wall, the knife fell from her and she hurt her back badly.
She made to take the knife but Joel was fas-ter, he raised the knife with his boot and grabbed it.
He smiled and raised it to her che-st but someone else came in, a masked person.
Judging by the body build, Swan concluded that she’s a female.
She hit the knife away from Joel and gave him a kick in the face which sent him flying to the window, he crashed on the gl@$$window and the window shattered, making him land down in the middle of the pieces.
He stood immediately and threw two punches to the masked girl but she ducked the two then she slapped him twice before punching his chin, blood poured out of his mouth as his teeth hit on each other.
Swan made to stand but her back still hurts a lot.
Joel leaned on the broken window, Gr0-ning in pains as the masked girl walked to him.
He suddenly stood upright and hit his forehead ha-rdly on the masked girl’s, the girl staggered and he took the opportunity to jump down the window.
“Shit!” The masked girl spat, jumping down with him but before she could climb down, Joel is gone.
Swan crawled to the window and managed to stand, looking down at the girl.
“Who are you!” She shouted.
The girl looked up at her and didn’t bother to show her face before leaving.

NEXT MORNING≈HAYES APARTMENT
Merritt just came back from her stakeout this morning and she prepared for work again.
She finished dressing up and sighted the black card in her bag.
She took it and sighed, staring at it.
“Is he a stalker?” she asked herself and took her new phone from the stand, leaving the room.
“The news said detective Swan was attacked by Joel last night, she was sick so she couldn’t defend well, but a masked girl saved her” Gina said.
“I’m glad she’s fine, but who could be the masked girl, I wanna be like her” Juliet replied enthusiastically, rolling her fork in her hand.
“The people named her SWIFT ANGEL, Swan said she fights almost as fast as Joel himself” Merritt smiled.
“I wish I could see her face, I love you Swift Angel!” Gina blew kizzes and Merritt laughed.
Breakfast was consumed fast so the three left the house at a time.
Michelin smiled wickedly as she watched them from her car.
She has been waiting by the road since some minutes ago just to confirm if it’s really Juliet’s place.
“So, you’re one filthy rat, and you dare go close to my man, you’re dead already” she muttered evilly.
Her phone rang beside her and she picked the call, from her spy.
“Tell me it’s done”
“Done, Megan is cleared”

JEWELL BOOKS
Juliet’s phone rang immediately she stepped into the elevator.
She smiled when she saw it’s actually Justus.
“Cute Justus” she said and heard him chuckling.
“Call me that again, please” he said.
“No” she replied and he giggled.
“Where are you?”
“In the elevator, going to my floor” she replied.
“Make sure you don’t get hurt today ok?”
“I won’t” she replied.
“Promise me”
“I promise” she smiled.
“Will you be in the sto-re by 8?, I can stop by” he asked.
“I’m not sure”
“Then I’ll call you” he said.
“Alright, goodbye!”
“Bye Juliet” he replied and she hung up.
She came out to her floor and Lovelyn gasped when she saw her.
“OMG!, You’re curvy!”
She’s wearing a gown to work for the first time, it’s a short one but it’s not too expo-sing, it’s hu-gging her tiny hips and she really looks tempting right now.
“Please continue wearing gowns like this, I can be a le-sbian for you!” Lovely gushed, still checking her out .
“Even if she has all the curves in the world, her face is still ugly and the fact that she tried to se-duce my boyfriend with that face is pathetic” Rhonda yawned insincerely.
“Rex told you I tried to se-duce him?” Juliet said.
“Oh yes, he told me everything” Rhonda smiled sinisterly.
Juliet was about to reply when her desk bell rang.
“Boss is here already?” She said surprisingly.
“Yes, he’s presenting his new novel to the editors today, it’ll be released next week, you better go quickly” Lovelyn replied
Juliet dropped her bag and rushed into his office.
“Goodmorning boss” she greeted and the moment he looked up from his laptop, his eyes got stuck on her.
Juliet felt uncomfortable as he stared at her, making her remember what happened last night.
Romeo slowly looked away and went back to his laptop.
“Sit” he said.
Though it’s surprising that he just said that, she sat in front of him.
“I’ll be presenting an hour from now, on my new book, the three of you will have to follow me to the presentation” he said.
“Including me?” Juliet asked.
“I just said the three of you, and I’m wearing belt this time” he replied and she almost laughed but she quickly covered her mouth.
“Was that funny?” He asked and she looked at him.
“Ability to say things that makes people laugh, that’s another human characteristic, right?” He asked.
“I told you to meet a therapist” she replied.
“You can p@$$for a therapist so be my therapist dumb genius” he said.
“Dumb…dumb genius?” She said, blinking.
“Aren’t you?” He raised a brow and she coughed insincerely, facing the ground.
Romeo smiled secretly and his phone rang.
“Yes Ben?” He picked.
“Boss, sad news” Ben said.
“What?”
“Megan Mel… she’s dead” Ben replied and Romeo spranged up.
“Stop joking around, I’m meeting with her by 12!”
“She was found dead in her house this morning believe me, check the news” Ben replied.
Romeo put on the TV and it’s indeed in the news.
The shock made him rush out of the office, forgetting his fear for elevators.
He entered the elevator and the girls got scared.
“Boss!!” The three called at a time.
Juliet quickly ran into the elevator with him before the door could close.
“Boss it’s dangerous!” She said and he opened his mouth to talk but all he could see is his mum’s face as the elevator went down.
The scene of how she jumped down the skyscrap-e r that morning made his ears get hot, it heated up and he suddenly blocked them with his palms.
He sweated and breathed heavily.
“Mum!, Mum!!, Mum!!!” He screamed, crying like a baby, leaning on the wall.
“Boss!” Juliet shouted.
More tears poured out every minute as the elevator moved down and it became worse when he started bleeding from the nose.
His body shivered and he sweated more, falling on his knees.
“Boss!” Juliet called again, kneeling beside him, she held his shoulders gently.
“Mum” Romeo cried again.
Juliet watched him with pity.
Right now, he’s like an helpless harmless puppy.
His eyes started closing when the elevator was almost at the ground floor.
The blood is still draining from his nose.
“Mr Spencer!” She shouted but his eyes closed completely and he crumbled on her.
Juliet went down with his unconscious body on top of her.
