Chapter Forty Three.
Rebel positioned herself on the bed while Robin carried out the test…it was as painful as hell.
“I’ll have it checked in the other room” He muttered walking to the inner room.
“Can’t believe the test was that painful” Rebel pouted he li-ps.
“It’s really painful but it can’t be ignored, it’s throu-ghthis that he’s going to know the right drugs/injection to administer” Wren explained.
“Robin made mention of you being a regular customer…does that mean that you have….” Rebel stopped for a while not knowing the perfect word to use and in addition to that, she doesn’t want Wren to think that she’s prying.
Wren on seeing that she was trying not to pry decided to open up to her since they were close now.
“Yes” She sighed making Rebel to turn towards her direction.
“Not once but five solid times” She added feeling remorseful.
“Five times?” A gasp left Rebel’s mouth, she couldn’t control it.
“You are gonna judge me right?” She pouted.
“I’m sorry that it came out that way, I’m just surprised” Bell apologized.
“But answer this one question, which bastard made you do it, he deserves to be taught a lesson” She br@wled.
“Spear” She replied.
“You mean that dude we met some minutes back? He’s such a dic-k” Rebel abused.
“I know, that’s the very reason we broke up, we dated for five months and i had five solid ab-ortions for him…..meaning that if we are still together, he’ll ask me to do more” Wren explained sadly.
“Wait, un-der five months you had five ab-ortions?” Rebel gasped.
“Is it a monthly something” She broke into laughter, Wren didn’t pick offense so she joined her.
“Yea, he likes doing raw alot…the moment he put a pulp in my belly and i tell him, he’ll order me to go to Robin to get rid of the bastard…i grew tired of it so we broke up before he’ll end up turning me to a pit” Wren purred feeling upset on recalling the memory.
“Then I’m happy you broke up with him” Rebel smiled.
The door to the inner room opened and Robin stepped out….
“Luckily, it’s just some weeks” he smiled.
“This dose will do the trick” he added showing her an injection.
“That’s if you inject me, what will happen next?” Rebel inquired now feeling scared.
“It will flush out the foetus and you’ll end up pas-sing it out in form of measis but it’ll come with for-ce” He explained and ordered her to take off her pa-nties….she hesitated for a while before obeying instruction.
Robin suddenly heard the sound of the emergency bell.
“At this time?” He furrowed his brow.
“What could have gone wrong?” Wren said worriedly.
“Inject me before we go” Rebel ordered giving him access.
The door to Robin’s room was suddenly kicked open…the impact of the kick made the door to fall off.
“What the fuc-k” Wren made to reach for her pickle but froze on hearing the voice she fears so much.
“Which bastard dare….” Robin swallowed on seeing Matteo’s furious face….
“B-boss” He gasped and the stringe fell off his hand.
“Matteo…what are you doing here?” Rebel shuttered.
“You are obstructing something” She added gritting her teeth.
“You must be very stupid for saying that…you’re trying to get rid of my unborn child and you dare open that hell home of a mouth and telling me that i’m obstructing something?” Matteo thun-dered making everyone in the room to flinch….the men that came with him stepped in that moment.
“B-boss i swear to you that i have no idea that she was pregnant for you…she didn’t tell me” Robin went down on his knees pleading.
“B-boss i’m sorry” Wren broke down in tears falling to her knees…she knows that she’s done for real, there’s no way that the boss will let her off.
“Seize them all except her…” he ordered his men and they grabbed Robin and Wren dragging them out…
“Boss please….” Robin wailed as the men were dragging him on the floor leading him out.
“I never knew that you are the one responsible for the numerous ab-ortions that have taken place in my clan which have led to the loss of lives of many…..and you even have the guts to intend getting rid of my blood?” Matteo yammered with gritted teeth.
“Take him to the top of the building and have him jump off” He ordered his boys….
“No…..” Robin screamed at the fate that has befall him…if only he knew that the child was for Matteo…no wonder her face looked familiar, she’s the boss woman…
“Matteo you can’t do this” Rebel jumped from the bed.
He gave her a slap that sent her crashing back to the bed.
“You don’t speak” He warned.
“Grabs some drums and fill them with water” He ordered one of his men.
“Yes boss” He bowed.
“No…no…no” Wren on realizing what he wanted to do screamed as they continued pulling her out like an animal.
“Mercy Boss….mercy…code 155…mercy lord” She screamed until he voice couldn’t be heard anymore.
“This isn’t fair” Rebel pouted standing back to her feet…Matteo’s five fingers were boldly imprinted on her face.
“What have i ever done to you Rebel? I loved you, first you stabbed me in the back and now this? You wanted to get rid of my child without my consent? What exactly do you take me for? A fool…” he yammered clenching his fist.
“I….I..”
Before she could complete her statement, another slap was sent across her face making a lone tears to slide down her eye.
“M-Matteo” Her li-ps trembled.
“What do you fuc-king take me for?” He thun-dered.
“I…I’m sorry” She sobbed looking at everyother places but ignoring his eyes because it reflects nothing but anger.
“Do you know the punishment for backstabbing? It’s death….death Rebel but i forgave you because i love you and now, you did something worser” He picked each word menacingly.
“For attempting to destroy the pregnancy of your Lord, there’s a punishment, for not informing me, that’s another punishment” Matteo spat on my face.
“That blabbermouth of a doctor…” Rebel cussed.
“You’re damn lucky Zack told me, if he hadn’t and i found out later on, I’ll murder him without a second thought…for telling me some hour late, he’s serving his own punishment” Matteo muttered.
“So you’re going to punish me as well?” Rebel pouted.
“The punishment i have in mind will make you lose the child which is something you want so no, instead, I’ll think of something less dangerous, Rebel, I’ll spa-nk you but first, you’ll have to witness your friends getting punished…..if anything goes wrong, you’ll leave with the guilt because their bloods are in your hands, you brou-ght this upon them, if i were them, i will never forgive you after this, that way, you’ll never attempt such a thing for the rest of your miserable life” He spat.
“Matteo please….” she went on her knees crying.
“There was a reason” She hiccu-p-ped.
“No reason justifies your actions” He shuttered.
“I wasn’t ready to be a mother okay? You brou-ght this upon me, you knew and you still went ahead to do raw without injecting yourself….what did you expect me to do? ab-orting this thing was the only choice” She yelled at him while crying.
” don’t call my child a thing” He warned pointing his finger at her and restraining himself from grabbing her ne-ck and choking her to death.
“Screw that shit about not being ready to be a mum, you’re going to be a mum and take note of this, if anything happens to my child, knowingly or unknowingly, i swear in the name of every mafia that has ever been that I’ll kill you and feed off your flesh to the wolves of Lakeview, it’s a promise” He threatened.
“M-Matteo this ain’t fair” Rebel crawled to him and grabbed his leg.
“Please un-derstand me?” She begged.
“What exact reply are you expecting from me Bell? Oh Rebel! Rebel!! Rebel!!!…you’re not ready to be a mum huh! Let’s get rid of it, I’m with you” Matteo said dramatically.
“You must be daydreaming because that’s the last thing I’ll ever say, we are keeping my child” He said warningly.
“You don’t un-derstand….” she sighed standing to her feet on seeing that her pleas weren’t moving him.
“My mum she..”
“Screw your mum, you’re just making up excuses” He yelled
“Your mum is the problem right? We are going to see her tomorrow and from there, we are going to the registrar to sign a marriage certificate…” he added.
“We can’t see my mom now Matteo…we can’t…” Rebel scratched her head.
“Why? Because you’re ashamed of me? Because you’re ashamed of introducing me to your only family? You know what, screw you….” he barked.
“I’m not ashamed of you okay? My mum ain’t fuc-king in town, she’s stuck in country R, she’s in your father’s clan, happy now?” Rebel screamed on top of her lungs.
“How did your mum get to country R and what’s she doing in Pierce’s clan?” Matteo furrowed his brow.
“When you were sick and my mum happened to be chased by Watson, she got stucked in country R, i nee-ded help so….”
“You asked Pierce instead” Matteo completed with gritted teeth.
“You should have told me…” he purred.
“You were unconscious, you were practically useless at that time” She countered.
“I wasn’t useless, nothing actually happened to me, that was just a pretense to avoid being called for questioning because i know that if i feigned it, words would go out and I’ll be safe for a moment from the shits you dragged me in” He stuttered.
“Wait, you lied to me? You guys deceived use?” Rebel gritted her teeth.
“Don’t turn the table girl, I’m the one who was wronged here” Matteo rolled his eyes.
“Whatever” Rebel huffed.
“I….”
The intrusion of someone made Rebel’s words to hang on her throat.
“Everything is ready boss” He bowed.
“It’s time to witness your friend’s punishment” Matteo mumbled.
“Move Rebel……” he ordered.

IN THE MAINHALL
“What did they do?”
“Isn’t that Monarch?”
“Maybe they must have violated a rule for boss to call for a meeting”
“Don’t tell me they woke me up because of these two”
Different words were coming out from different people as Monarch and Wren knelt in the middle of the main hall where they were surrounded with drums of water.
“I hate this punishment…..” Celia pouted from behind Will.
“What have they done to deserve this?” She added.
“What kind of punishment is this and why is Monarch holding a book?” Will frowned.
“Monarch is holding a book?” Celia gasped and peeped again and behold, she found the punishment book in Monarch’s hands.
“No way” she gasped.
“No wonder Monarch is crying, that book is called the clan’s punishment book and from what i heard, no punishment in it are easy, the boss has never used it on any member of the fourth division, the people he has punished with that book are Sammie, Nellie, June(doctor Zack’s wife), dove, cory, malachi and many more..” Celia explained with a pout.
“fuc-k” Will cussed feeling bad for Celia’s find.
Matteo’s arrival made everyone to go quiet….he walked fastly to the middle of the main hall were Wren and Monarch were kneeling with Rebel trailing behind him and shivering like a drenched chicken on sp-otting her friends surrounded with drums of water.
“One thing i hate is been kept in the dark, i made it known when the clan was established that when a matter of importance arises, I should be inform regardless of what damages it may cause to the people’s involved….” Matteo shuttered while everyone listened carefully.
“Monarch’s crime was keeping her lord in the dark and for that, she’ll be punished” He added.
“I’m giving her the privilege to chose a punishment for herself because if i do, it will be disastrous….hope she haven’t opened the book?” He inquired from the crowd.
“No she haven’t” they replied in unison.
“Good” He smiled and collected it from her.
“Chose a number” He ordered
“What?” Monarch gasped and her heart began drumming.

“For Matteo to be using this punishment method then she must have done something grave” Nellie whispered to Sammie.
“I feel bad for her, we aren’t friends but i know that Monarch ain’t a trouble shawty” Sammie muttered.
“Who said she ain’t troublesome?” Nellie rolled her eyes.
“I wish she chooses number 256” Nellie smi-rked.
“256?” Do you want to have her killed?” Sammie chuckled.
They were standing in the front line so Monarch heard them clearly.
“That wicked Nellie” she cussed.
“If i were her, i would chose number 116 instead, it’s the simplest punishment in that book” Sammie smiled.
“Number 116” Monarch screamed.
“Sammie…you did that on purpose, you know that she was listening” Nellie smacked the back of his head making Akantha who was standing next to them to roll her eyes in disgust.
“What does 116 say Sam?” Akantha tapped Sammie demanding for attention.
“You’ll see” he smiled.
A rope suddenly rolled down to Monarch’s level and one of the men brou-ght a chair.
“What’s happening?” Everybody wondered.
“116, you chose rightly” Matteo smi-rked.
“Hang her” He ordered one of his men
“No…no…no” Monarch crawled backward as the men approached her.
“Grab Wren and drown her” he ordered another of his men.
“Matteo no….” Rebel screamed
“Please….” Wren sobbed…
One of the men lifted her up from the floor and threw her into a drum filled with water….he grabbed her head and was dragging it downward making her to drown and shake violently….
“No….” Rebel’s screams could be heard.
On the otherhand, Monarch was for-ced to stand on top of a chair while a rope was tied on her ne-ck……Rebel gave her an apologetic look but she threw her face away.
“Release” Matteo ordered and one of the men pulled off the chair from her feet making her to dangle in air…..she couldn’t help but sway her legs violently as the rope was choking the life out of her.
“She’s gonna die….” Rebel wailed in agony.
Those who were friends with Wren and Monarch joined her in tears.
“Thought you said it was the easiest?” Akantha elbowed Sammie.
“Yes it is” Nellie and Sammie answered in unison.
“This should serve as a warning to you all” he warned.
“Where’s Robin?” He asked another man who just returned.
“He’s dead, we have him jump off from the top of the building like you instructed” he bowed.
“Good” Matteo smiled.
“You didn’t push him off right?”
“No boss, it was as you instructed” He responded.
“Get his body and have it buried” Matteo ordered.
“We can’t boss, his body fell into lakeview”
“His loss” Matteo huffed.
“Wait….Robin is dead?” A lady screamed and broke down in tears.
Rebel cried till she could cry no more.
“The boss has to give the order or else Monarch will die, any more strangling and death await her” Sammie said worriedly.
“Exactly my thought, I’ve watched many of our men died throu-ghthis, the book says strangle for ten minutes not to death” Nellie frowned.
“Boss, she has pas-sed out” the man drowning Monarch mumbled.
“Pull her out” Matteo ordered.
He watched Monarch with disgust.
“Cut her off” He ordered and the rope was cut sending Monarch crashing into a drum filled with water making the water to splash.
They were waiting for an order from the boss to pull her out but none came.
Sammie didn’t know when he moved his feet and rushed to pull her out.
“This should serve as a warning to everyone, next time, I’ll do worse” Matteo purred.
“Is she dead?” Rebel panicked crawling to Wren’s body.
“No, she must have drank a lot of water, find an alternative to bring the water out of her” Nellie said walking off.
“You may all leave” He ordered.
“Meet me in my room for your own punishment Bell” He added before retreating.
“Thanks for helping Sammie” Rebel sighed.
“I didn’t know why i did that” Sammie said walking off in confusion after dropping Monarch on the floor.
“What happened Bell?” Celia rushed off to Bell to get the full details.
★★★
“Nonsense….” Pierce punched the wall. after trying his men phone for the hundredth time.
“Hope they aren’t in Frascal’s hall having fun while I’m in de-ep shit here” He snarled….he haven’t slept since he returned from detention.
“That stupid detective fuc-king gave me forty eight hours, if they don’t help how will i find them?” He added in anger.
He put on his sli-ppers and walked out of the room walking to Matteo’s room to see if he will get a clue from there….he pushed the door open on arrival and stepped in….
Pierce began scattering the whole place but found nothing.
He emptied Matteo’s wardrobe, his drawer and boxes but nothing was found in it.
“Fruitless search” Pierce shuttered and grabbed one of the box smashing it against the wall in anger.
He went to the drawer next to his bed, opened it and scattered everything in it on the floor.
“Nothing….” He pouted and jumped on the bed swaying his legs in the air.
“I’ll live to continue another day” He advised and made to shut his eyes when his eyes suddenly caught a portrait of Matteo on the wall….
“It can’t be” he gasped on recognizing the environment in the portrait.
“Lakeview?” He smi-rked.
“Why didn’t i figure this out since?”
“They are fuc-king in lakeview” He jubilated.
