?THE MAFIA’S HEARTBEAT?
{She’s on a mission}
Chapter Twenty Five
???
Wren was about to walk in but frozed on the pas-sage way on seeing Celia comforting Monarch….she wanted to ask what went wrong but she refrained from announcing her presence….
“It’s okay” Celia patted her once more
“What do i do now?” Monarch disengaged from the hu-g and blew her nose loudly….
“I’m always here for you” Monarch as-sured
“You don’t un-derstand, he doesn’t love me, he doesn’t feel a damn thing for me after throwing myself at him, he just ditched me aside” Monarch hiccu-ped…..
“He doesn’t have to love you Monarch, you have me” Celia didn’t realize when the words escaped her li-ps…..
“What are you talking about?” Monarch’s brow furrowed
“Who said he doesn’t have to love me, having you won’t be enough, that’s not the kinda love i’m yearning for, i want him and just him” Monarch yelled….
“Let’s say you get him for instance then what will happen to me, i love you Monarch” Celia also yelled back…
Monarch staggered backward and reached the wall for support….
“You like me?” She couldn’t believe her ears
“I don’t like you Monarch, i love you, Sammie doesn’t deserve you, he’s a dic-k” Celia yammered….
“Celia I….”
Before Monarch could say another word, Celia took long strides towards her and grabbed her by the ne-ck, she claimed her li-ps that moment.
“Wow!” Wren squealed quietly and ran out before they’ll sp-ot her…
“S-stop” Monarch suddenly pushed Celia off, she was gasping for air and breathing heavily….
“Why did you do that?” Celia’s brow twitched
“I’ve always being here for you, member those days when we used to plea-sure each other, i thought you were beginning to feel something for me but guess i was wrong, I’m ready to treat you like the woman that you are, Sammie will never be able to do that” Celia said hurtfully…
“Don’t” Monarch warned
“You’re saying it like I’m some hor-ny b!tch who ditched you aside because she found some better dic-k to ride, you fuc-king know that ain’t it” Monarch snarled.
“I didn’t mean it that way Monarch” Celia raked her hair
“Sorry it came out that way”.
“Of course you do” Monarch insisted
“Me riding you was just for plea-sure, there was no feeling attached, i never knew you got R0m-ntically involved or else i would have stopped it earlier than i did, i did it because you begged for it, me knowing that you’re a hor-ny b!tch couldn’t do anything but succu-mb” Monarch purred.
“hor-ny b!tch?” Celia said hurtfully
“Is that what you think of me?”
“Yes, that’s what you are” Monarch yammered
“Listen and listen attentively, we can never work, I’m not ga-y” Monarch br@wled, threw Celia a glare and made to walk out but Celia was quick to grab her by the hand…..
“Don’t fuc-king touch me” Monarch shrugged off her hands
“From now on, no physical contact” She warned
“Now that i know, you better stop trying, i will never chose a p***y over a d*”k” Monarch spat and walked past her brushing her body harshly against hers…..
“I fuc-king messed everything up, i shouldn’t have confessed yet” Celia sighed.
“I’ve ruined our friendship, fuc-k!!!”

Nellie ran out in tears
“Nellie….wait up” Sammie screamed running after her.
“What, go away” Nellie yelled in tears
Sammie ran until he caught up with her, he blocked her path to prevent her from running farther than she already has.
“I promise you that he didn’t mean all those mean words he said, the boss tend to vent out his anger on others when he’s angry” Sammie explained to her.
“Funny” Nellie cracked up making Sammie to eye her like someone who was beginning to go nuts due to the fact that he said nothing to warrant such.
“You don’t know Matteo more than i do, he fuc-king meant every words he said” She stated her reasons….
“Do you know what hurts me the most?” She sniffled
“What?” Sammie muttered pitifully
“The fact that he doesn’t believe a thing i said, I fuc-king left Denim and traveled to country R just because of him, just because i was watching out for him, i was updating his mum about his wellbeing because i discovered that she cared, she didn’t just abandon him at her free will, there’s a reason which she’s finding out to spill, i wanted to unravel the mystery behind it just because i want him to be happy…..i wanted him to be happy Sammie” She explained in tears.
“It’s okay” Sammie tried to coo her
“No it isn’t” She yelled in tears sniffing in the catarrh that was threatening to fall off her nose.
“Today, he considered me a betrayal, a betrayal Sammie” Nellie pouted
“Calm down Nellie” Sammie sighed
“I just feel like killing myself, after all the dirty things i did just to access this data, what did i get in return? I was fuc-king called a betrayal because of her, because of Rebel Wright, I……”
Sammie cut her off that moment by drawing her into an hu-g…
“I said it’s okay, it really is” He patted her back consoling her whole poor Nellie drenched his shirt with her hot tears which Sammie didn’t care much about…seeing her in this state is hurting him, it’s just like a thousand swords, pierced into his already aching heart……
Nellie sobbed for some minutes before disengaging from him…
“And….” She continued
“Stop talking already, you’re hurting yourself” Sammie mumbled
“I was here before Nicky, Nicky came and she won his heart, everyday i pray silently for Matteo to see me as a woman for once but he never did, my heart shattered the day i overhead Nicky telling Matteo that she was pregnant, i attempted suicide that day Sammie but luckily, Akantha came to my aide, she discouraged me from it, that was actually the first time that we met and after that encounter, i discovered that she’s un-der the division of who-res, i was able to move her out of that pithole and make her my righthand lady, throu-ghher, i was able to curtail my feelings, Nicky and i were friends, it’s no news, you were aware weren’t you?” She stopped at a point and asked.
“Yes i was” Sammie said with a nod
“Well, she never knew that i envied what they had and i wished it was me in her shoes and not the other way round, luckily, Pierce came in the way and snatched her from Matteo after she birthed Zola, that was the most happiest day of my life Sammie, i felt a little bit sad because the incident affected Matteo as he changed totally after that, after Nicky left, i tried to be that perfect somebody which I’m not just because of him thinking that one day, he will look at me with a different gaze order than the sisterly look he normally gives me but that day never came, instead the worse happened, that b!tch called Rebel came into the picture, she ruined my chances, she ruined every chances I could ever have with him” She sniffled….
“I don’t even know what to say” Sammie sighed
“You said you found out evidence that proves that bell isn’t whom we think she is right?” He tried to change the topic.
“Yes i did” Nellie wiped her face
“Good” Sammie smiled
“I found them but they’re now useless” Nellie pouted
“Who said they’re useless?” Sammie chuckled
“Three people can’t be fooled at once can they?” He added.
“Stop quoting and spill” Nellie said with an eyeroll.
“What i mean is that, since the boss is to blind to see the handwriting on the wall, how about we see it and prevent the storms that’s about to come on his behalf” Sammie smiled.
“Speaking in parables huh!” Nellie cracked up.
“Let’s stop Rebel Nellie” Sammie muttered…
A smile suddenly carved on Nellie’s li-ps, for the first time, she gave him a different look, this look was that of admiration.
“If only Matteo could be this supportive” She said inwardly.
“It’s so manly of him”.
“Hmm, hmm” Sammie cleared his throat bringing her out of the daze.
“I’m i that cute that you couldn’t help but get lost staring?” He teased.
“Don’t flatter yourself” Nellie said with an eyeroll.
“You really changed alot” she said as they began walking back in.
“How?” Sammie furrowed his brow.
“The Sammie i knew before leaving would never run after me just to console me, that Sammie always stare at me with hate and doesn’t allow any opportunity to paint me black walk past him” She chuckled.
“I guess people change, let’s just say i changed” He smiled.
“I changed because i fell for you” He said this part inwardly…..

Akantha finished unpacking their things and headed out, she was on her way back to the main hall where she left her lady boss when her eyes suddenly caught someone, her competitor…..
“Monarch…..” She screamed running after Monarch who was looking for a perfect sp-ot to clear her head.
“Monarch…..” she screamed again and ran until she caught up with her….when she tapped Monarch was when she actually realized that someone has being calling her.
“What?” Monarch suddenly snapped as Akantha tapped her….
“You’re back” She huffed.
“Yes I’m back, the last time, we fought and you won, but this time around, don’t keep your hopes high cause I’m ready for you, i won’t hesitate to pas-s a bullet throu-ghyour empty skull, bear in mind that i don’t pose empty threats” Akantha threatened.
“Don’t add to my problem Akantha, I nee-d to clear up my head before i end up going insane, first it was the man I love telling me love another and then my closest buddy, telling me that she feels me which is so unfortunate because I’m not ga-y” She blurted out.
“Didn’t ask you to share so fuc-king keep it to yourself” Monarch huffed.
“I’ve returned back to claim my possession, Sammie belongs to me and me alone, stay a hundred yards away from him” She warned.
Monarch cracked up that moment….she couldn’t help it….
“What’s funny?” Akantha huffed
“You” Monarch said and continued laughing.
“You’re going psyche b!tch” Akantha huffed and turned to walk away.
“Forget Sammie Akantha, he’s seeing someone else”
Monarch’s statement made Akantha to freeze on her sp-ot.
“W-what? W-who?” Akantha stuttered and cold beads of sweats began rolling down her forehead.
“Why do you think I’m down? Who’s the man i love who told me he doesn’t feel same way that he loves someone else?, i wouldn’t have told you if it has nothing to do with you, it’s all Sammie Akantha” Monarch purred…
“I didn’t ask you that” Akantha yelled
“Who does he fuc-king love?” She barked.
“Your lady boss” Akantha said mockingly.
“What?”
“Yes, you heard me right, he loves your boss Nellie, he told me himself” Monarch replied and began walking away but stopped halfway.
“I know it came as a shocker, don’t worry, the Friday party tonight will help, I’m so glad that boss listened to our plea and decided to continue the party after what lord Rollo did, don’t worry, the party will help you chill” Monarch completed the statement with a wink before finally walking away….
.
“No…….no……no!!!!!” Akantha screamed hurtfully.
“He belongs to me!!!!” She yelled again
“Nellie!!!, how dare you make him to fall for you?” She balled her fist.

TOWARDS EVENING
“You have being behaving strangely since you came in Akantha, i was telling you about what happened with Matteo in the mainhall but you just snubbed me like i was talking to myself or something” Nellie said feeling annoyed.
“Hmm” was all Akantha managed to say.
“Is it your time of the month already, why the sudden cold treatment” Nellie said while putting on her heels….
“How do i look?” She posted for Akantha, she was putting on a lilac bikini and a black pair of heels….
“As you should” Akantha shrugged and reached for her own bikini since she was standing in front of the closet…..she would have gone to her quarters but unfortunately, since they weren’t around Isme(Matteo’s mum) and her lover fitted into her space.
Akantha fitted into her bikini and went to the front of the mirror where she began applying makeup on her face……throu-ghthe mirror, she peeked at Nellie and jealousy washed over.
“Maybe, just maybe, he likes her because of her shape, if only i could have those tits” She said in envy.
“So i was talking to Sammie earlier and we….”
“Wait, did you just say that you were talking to Sammie?” Akantha dropped the li-pstick she was holding and turned quickly to her.
“Yes, is there any problem with that?” Nellie furrowed her brow
“So we decided…..”
“Don’t tell me, just keep it to yourself” Akantha snarled and hurried out.
“What demon has possessed Akantha?” Nellie stood dumbfounded.
★★★*
IN AKANTHA’S QUARTER WHERE ISME IS STAYING.
Isme was moving round the room in a peak revealing bikini which kept nothing from imagination looking for God knows what.
“How do i look?” Will her boyfriend as-sumed a picture.
“Hmm, no shirts on?” She frowned
“Yea, it’s a jacuzzi party remember?” He said with an eyeroll.
“Fine…” She shrugged
“Just respect yourself today Will, no fli-rty with other b!tches” she warned.
“Whatever” he rolled his eyes
“You know we have just twenty four hours here right?” Will suddenly broke it up.
“You believe that bullshit my son said?” She chuckled.
“I’m not leaving until i get rid of that b!tch from his life” She shuttered.
“What if we wrong? She might truly love him yunno!, you saw how hurt she look earlier when he broke down” Will chided
“Acting Will, it’s called acting” she scoffed.
“You heard Nellie earlier didn’t you, she’s a goddamn investigator” Isme purred….
And so, they continued talking about bell until they left for the party.
★★★
Rebel, Wren and Monarch were all set for the party when Monarch walked in.
“You’re back” Celia smiled and moved towards her to give her an hu-g.
“Don’t” Monarch warned making Rebel to furrow her brow inquisitively at Wren.
“Weren’t you all swimming earlier when i left?” She frowned.
“In summary, Sammie told Monarch that they can’t work and Celia right here confessed her feelings to Monarch” Wren replied making Celia and Monarch to glare at her.
“Sorry, i saw you guys earlier” Wren winked
“Celia so you like Monarch, doesn’t that make you a ga-y?” Rebel mumbled.
“Stop asking the obvious” Monarch scoffed.
“You guys should leave, I’ll join you in the party” Monarch mumbled.
“Let’s go girls” Rebel ordered.
★★★
The music was playing loudly and people were dancing at all angles of the hall……the disco light added to the beauty of the hall as always…..stri-ppers from the fourth division were on stage stri-pping and carrying out all manner of seduction.
Matteo just sat at his usual angle drinking and doing nothing more, he wasn’t in the mood to dance or do anything of that sort……Rebel came to him earlier and jestured at him to come dance with her but he declined since he wasn’t in the mood…..he saw the cheerful faces of other lords cheering and having fun to the fullest…….he glanced at the dancefloor and sp-otted Bruno with Rebel but he wasn’t in the mood to throw any tantrum.
“My bell” A voice suddenly said behind bell snaking his hands around her wai-st.
She recognized that voice at an instant.
“Bruno” She scoffed
“What do you want?”
“Is Matteo tired of you already, why isn’t he on the dancefloor?” Bruno chuckled
“Mind your business Bruno” She warned
She raised up her head and her eyes suddenly caught with that of Matteo, he just threw away his face like he saw nothing.
Matteo turned to another direction and he sp-otted Me looking restless, she was looking at a sp-ot, he followed her eyes and it landed in the jacuzzi where Will was fli-rting with some b!tches…..he returned his eyes to his mum and their eyes locked that moment, he looked away quickly.
“I know it, he’s only after her money” Matteo gr-unted.
★★★
On the otherhand, Akantha sat watching as Sammie and Nellie were having fun on the dance floor…..she reached for her shot and gulped it down angrily, she wiped her mouth and returned her gaze back to them.
Monarch also stood watching Nellie and Sammie dancing, her heart shattered as well, she just sighed and looked away……
Everyone were busy dancing and having all sorts of fun including making out.
Matteo continued watching Will when suddenly he began hearing gunshots outside….it seems he wasn’t the only one who heard it as the dj suddenly stopped the music….everyone reached for their sidearm that moment, those who were far from it rushed for it……
The door to the party hall suddenly open and an old looking man and a young lady in hood suddenly walked in.
“Finally back” The voice chuckled evily
“Who missed me?” He added
The lady beside him suddenly took off the cap covering her face.
“Hello Matteo”
“Nicky” Matteo snarled
“Pierce” Isme voice trembled and he knees weakened that moment.
“Did he just say Nicky?” Rebel’s heart skipped a bit.
