Chapter Nineteen….
???
The news about Nellie’s travel spread around the clan but no one knew the reason behind it….
“I’m wondering why Nellie and Akantha went to country X, we have no dealing with that country as it stands” Celia said as she returned back from her duty….
“It’s a good thing though, I’ll be free from her endless bugging” Rebel said while applying some makeup on her face…she was preparing for the party Matteo invited her to….
“Hmm, that’s right” Celia replied
The door was pushed open and Monarch walked in…..
Celia and Rebel eyed her and burst into a fit of laughter…..
She told them about the incident at the hallway when she returned earlier and they have being mocking her for it since morning….she taught this evening was gonna be different but from the look of it, it isn’t….
“You girls shouldn’t start” Monarch hissed and removed her shoe…she headed for her bed and slumped on it…..
“Gosh I’m tired” she yawned
“I begged you to leave a little for us but no you took everything to Sammie, you look like shit when she returned earlier, it’s time to give up i guess” Rebel chuckled.
“Me Monarch Carpenter give up?” Monarch chuckled
“That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary, not gonna give up anytime soon, I’ll keep cooking until he accepts it one day” She added
“This is serious” Rebel chuckled
Monarch reached for her purse and brou-ght out a packet of sticks and a substance wrapped up in a white paper….
“Wait, where did you get those?” Celia jumped from her bed
“That as-s-hole’s room” she replied
“These sticks are from country R, they produce the best cigarette” Celia said to Rebel.
“Hmm” she hummed
“Help me with a lighter Celia” Monarch ordered
Celia reached for the lighter and pas-sed it to her….Monarch lit up one of the sticks and began smoking….she handed one to Celia….
“Thanks dear” Celia smiled and lighted it….
“Want some?” Monarch handed a stick to Rebel.
“No, I’m fine”
“If you say so” Celia scoffed
“What’s that?” Celia pointed to the wrapped substance
“Oh this!” Monarch reached for it and unwrapped it…..
“Wait….isn’t that cocaine?” Rebel frowned
“Yea” Celia mumbled
“Is there a problem?
“No, there’s none” Rebel responded
“Sometimes i wonder the kinda clan you were kept captive yunno!, you don’t smoke, you don’t take drugs and you don’t follow us fuc-king around, is it a nunnery or something?” Monarch said playfully.
“Hahaha!” Celia cracked up
“It isn’t a nunnery” Rebel rolled her eyes…all right, it’s time, see you girls when i return she said and grabbed her purse running out of the room….
“She’s something else yunno!” Monarch continued laughing as Rebel ran out….
“She doesn’t behave like one of us yunno!, i doubt her being a mafia at times” Celia replied seriously.

Rebel and Matteo walked into the club hand in hand…..
“Matteo….” Marco screamed happily and ran to hu-g him
The attention of every girls in the club turned to Matteo….they were wishing that they were the one by his side….Many of the ladies were throwing her murderous looks…….
None of the ladies in the club dare walk up to him, they know how ruthless he can be.
Rollo on sp-otting Rebel pushed off the stri-pper on his lap…she landed her bu-tt on the floor….
“Ouch! What was that for?” She winced
“I’ll be right back” he said to his friend and hurried off to meet Rebel……
“Rebel….” He called happily
Rebel turned towards his direction…..
“fuc-k” She cussed
“It’s nice to see you, i came to the clan the other day to see you but Matteo….”
“I didn’t ask you Rollo” Rebel scoffed
Matteo who was just a distance away from Rebel turned to check on her….he was dragged to greet other Mafias in the club by Marco….on turning and seeing Rollo with Rebel his expression changed…..
“I’ll be right back” he said and hurried off to them…….
“Bell…” He called and walked to their centre, he wrapped his hands around Rebel’s wai-st and began taking her away…..
“Seriously Matteo?” Rollo chuckled
“Where were we?” He turned back to his own part of the vip…..
“Want some drinks?” Matteo asked Rebel as he found a perfect sp-ot and sat with her……
“Hi” some groups of girls waved as they walked past him….some of them were blowing ki-sses at him….
“Every ladies like you yunno!” Rebel mumbled
“Yea, i don’t blame them though, I’m a catch” he smiled
“You’re so full of yourself” she huffed
“Who wouldn’t?” He chuckled
“We’re a perfect match then, I’m handsome and you my dear remain the cutest lady I’ve ever come across”….
“Trying to flatter me huh!” She chuckled
“Why won’t i be, my mum is a damsel, my dad is the most handsome man you’ll ever come across so i guess the beauty is in my gene” she winked
“Unbelievable!” Matteo chuckled
“Look who was telling me that i’m full of myself”
“Mine is different, yours was ion know the perfect word to use” she smiled
“I don’t know your parents Matteo, do they base here? From the look of things, it seems you guys don’t vibe well, I’m correct right?”
“My parents are the worst people Bell” he shuttered
“I can’t hear you” Rebel screamed as the dj suddenly increa-sed the volume of the music.
Matteo grabbed Rebel by the hand and they headed outside……
“Now you’ll be able to hear me” he said as they went a bit farther from the club….
They settle un-der a twig tree which was a good distance away…..
“I said my parents are the worst people you’ll ever come across” he repeated what he said earlier….
“You must have heard it in the clan that Pierce snatched my lover” he said and Rebel nodded signifying that she has heard it….
“Well it’s true, my father doesn’t wanna see my happiness, once he knows that i value something, he comes for it, i won’t be surprised if he comes for you in the future, since you’re someone that I’m beginning to like” he mumbled.
“You’re beginning to like me?” Rebel couldn’t believe her ears
“Yea” he smiled
“Do you have a problem with that?”
Rebel swallowed….she was beginning to like him and she is here on a mission….one mission that ain’t a good one….she was here to gather enough evidence on him and send his goddamn a$$ to jail…..making him to like her isn’t part of the plan….
“You don’t have to feel bad, i know you don’t feel same way” he smiled…
“What about your mum?” Rebel changed the topic
“We also don’t get along, she left me many years ago with my dad, you can say she abandoned me……ion blame her for going away, I blame her for not taking me with her, Pierce is the violent type, beating women is his specialty and that’s why i feel pity for Nicky, she didn’t know what she got herself into, she simply chosed him because he was richer than me but now reverse is the case, I’m the riche-st being alive” he smiled
“So back to my mum, many years later she returned back, then i was old enough to take care of myself, she returned back as a totally different person, going out and chasing boys that are old enough to be her sons…..she doesn’t look like she regretted the decision she made, she’s doing well if you ask me” he shuttered
“With my father, I’ve witnessed alot of violence, he’s ruthless beyond description and I myself isn’t excluded from witnessing this ruthlessness I’m speaking of, he wasn’t always like that yunno! He used to be the best but everything changed….the reason is what i can’t apprehend, i know their constant fighting has something to do with me but i couldn’t pinpoint the exact fact” he sighed….
“Sorry about that” Rebel shifted closer and began patting his back…
“Bell….” He called slowly
“They say you’re a spy and you’re out to bring about my downfall, ion believe it and i never so please, don’t hurt me no matter what, I’ve witnessed enough heartbreak, anymore from this, I’ll turn into the worst monster anyone in Denim has ever seen, all i do i do for Zola and Nellie, they’re the only family i recognize and you Rebel, i want to give you that special place in my heart, i know i promised never to love again cuz that shit fuc-ked me up….but the moment i set my eyes on you…..the day you had a fight with Nellie” he recalled….
“I knew there was something different about you, despite the different opinions to end you, i chose to keep you and make you my who-re, just mine and no one else so Rebel, i beg of you that you shouldn’t stab me in the back” he concluded…..
Rebel didn’t know when she burst into tears……what he said tou-ched her to the core….it was like he just read her purpose…
Bringing down the citizens of the un-derworld especially Matteo has being one of the things she has been looking forward to….but why then does the right thing feel so wrong? He said he won’t be able to take my betrayal? But that’s what I’m here for….The thoughts ran throu-ghher mind and more tears continued streaming down her eyes…..
“Are you okay?” Matteo frowned…he didn’t un-derstand the reason why she suddenly broke down….
“If i said something wrong then I’m sorry” he panicked as she continued crying….
“It’s not about what you said” she hiccu-ped
“If it isn’t, why then are you crying?” He asked concernly
“You won’t un-derstand” she sobbed
“Then make me un-derstand” he mumbled shifting closer
“Have you ever felt guilty before?” She pouted
“Yes, my greatest guilt was Zane’s death, Pierce murdered him one of the days he came home drunk, he wanted to mo-lest mum as always but then Zane came in the way, he pushed him and i watched my brother rolled down the stairs without doing nothing…..i just stood there watching my brother lying in a pool of his own blood, all i could do was cry and nothing more, i could have stopped Zane from getting in the way but i couldn’t, my brother was damn headstrong” he sighed
“Didn’t you call the cops?” Rebel turned to him…..
“After crying to my heart content i called them, they came but guess what?” He chuckled dryly
“What?” Rebel questioned
“They did nothing…..my father was the type that could bend the law to his will, he behaves like Douglas…do you know him?”
“I know Douglas, who doesn’t? The drulord from Seoul who believes that he was above the law” Rebel replied
“That’s exactly how my dad behaves, he believes he’s above the law, i felt happy when old monk a very good friend of mine brou-ght him down…..I should have helped in the fight but then i was behind bars” he said
“Thesame way Douglas met his downfall is thesame way Pierce will….” He said with hatred….
“But you bell, why do you feel guilty?” He turned back to her
“It’s personal” she sighed
“I just told you something personal so spill, i want us to be transparent with eachother” he pouted
“I can’t” she mumbled
“It’s fine” Matteo hundred
“Are you mad at me for saying nothing?” She pouted
“To be truthful, i am” he replied honestly
“How about i make you feel better?” She suggested
“How?” He turned curiously to her
“Like this” she said and pec-ked his li-ps…her cheeks turned crimson red….
“A peck won’t do” he said with an eyeroll
“de-epen it”
She shifted closer and placed her li-ps on his….what she intended to initiate was just a ki-ss but the story changed when Matteo pinned her down…..
“Can i have you Rebel? Wherever and whenever i please?” He asked hoarsely
“Yes” her calm voice could be heard
He just took off her dress and went straight to the main deal….he didn’t have the time for foreplay and the likes of it because his body was already on fire….that was the kind of effect she has on him…..whenever he sees her, he just feel like pinning her to the sp-ot and taking her right there…..
The next sound heard were their M0-ning as they became one……
