Chapter Forty Three…
“Are you going to continue behaving like this?” Rebel pouted running after Wren as they got to the room…both Wren and Monarch have been avoiding her since they regained consciousness.
“Tell me Rebel, why won’t i ignore you, it’s obvious that the only thing you care about is yourself…you don’t regard other people’s feelings and that’s the problem i have with you….i nearly lose my life because i was trying to help you” Wren yelled at her.
“Wren I…”
“Avoid me for the time being” Wren warned and walked pas-s her.
That moment, Monarch returned from the restroom where she went to throu-ghup since that’s what she has been doing since she regained consciousness.
Rebel on sp-otting her ran to her.
“Monarch I’m….”
“Don’t…” Monarch cut her off with a glare
“Are you happy now? Tell me are you? In my twenty five years of existence, never have i been strangled before but today, because of you, i was nearly killed because of something i know nothing about and you…were you even punished” Monarch huffed and went to sit on the bed….Rebel went after her.
” Please Monarch, I’m really sorry, the treatment you and Wren are giving me ain’t fair” She said making puppy eyes.
“The treatment we are giving you ain’t fair?” Wren said walking toward her.
“Can you even hear yourself?” Wren shuttered.
“Wren please….”
“Save the apology for someone that cares to listen, go and check on the boss for your punishment, i bet he’ll even do nothing” Wren hissed before falling on the empty space beside Monarch.
“Alright” Rebel sighed.
“I’ll go and see the boss” She added before walking away in sadness.
“Can you even hear what she’s saying? I stopped breathing for a moment, i thought that i was gonna die…imagine me losing my life at this age….imagine the fate that befell Robin because of her” Wren purred the moment she walked out.
“Don’t talk to me Wren, I’m really mad at you” Monarch snapped at her.
“Like seriously?” Wren frowned.
“Tell me, why wouldn’t i be? We had an agreement Wren, we said having an ab-ortion was dangerous but the two of you guided me until i fell asleep before sneaking out…you both fooled me and i got punished because of something i never had a hand in” Monarch shuttered with tears streaming down her eyes.
“If only you were here to see how the boss grabbed my ne-ck, he nearly choked the life out of me…..in addition to that, he made me serve a punishment from his punishment book, you were drowned which is a minor punishment but me, i was hanged Wren? If he hadn’t given the final order to let me lose, you wouldn’t be seeing me here right now…if i had die today, tell me Wren, what do i have to show for it, no children, no spouse, no money….”
“Speaking of money…” She stopped for a while with furrowed brow.
“How did you guys…”
“No…no…no” She screamed jumping down from the bed and running towards her piggybank which was on the floor.
“Who broke my piggy bank?” She screamed.
“Rebel” Wren replied and Monarch gave her a murderous look.
“You guys broke my bank?” She thun-dered.
“She said she was gonna pay you back, she was in nee-d of cash yunno!!! Robin ain’t a charity organization ” Wren shrugged.
“fuc-k you guys” Monarch screamed running out of the room.
“Monarch come back here” Wren screamed after her.
“Screw you, i want to be alone” Monarch shuttered and continued walking out.

“Don’t fuc-king tell me to calm down…” Nellie yelled at Sammie and Akantha were trying to calm her down.
“What exactly do you want me to say?” Sammie yelled back at her.
“Say nothing Sammie…” she said with gritted teeth.
“Why should i calm down when Matteo just told me that Rebel is pregnant and was trying to ab-ort it and that was the reason behind the punishment he gave them” She yammered and broke down in tears.
“After everything i did for Matteo, after everything i did for this clan…after tolerating all of Zola’s shit…that spoilt br@t that Matteo raised and this is how he’s gonna pay me….I thought a day is going to come when he’s going to love me, i was here before Nicky, Nicky came and had a turn, she bore him a child…i was also here when Nicky left and never for once did Matteo ever think of liking me….Rebel came and his attention diverted to her and now, she’s going to bear him a child as well….it hurts Sammie it really hurts” Nellie screamed falling down on her knees and crying out her heart.
People who were returning back to their room eyed her on the floor and began whispering to one another.
“What could be wrong with Lady Nellie? Why’s she on the floor?”
“Why’s lady Nellie crying?”
She could hear their whispers clearly.
“What?” She snapped at one of them.
“Can’t one cry in peace in this godforsaken hell hole?” She barked.
“Nellie stop screaming…” Sammie sighed.
“All of you, return back to your room quietly” He snapped.
“Sammie I’m done for” Nellie pouted blowing her nose.
“I’m sorry Nellie” Was the first word Akantha managed to say.
“If not me, who else will tolerate that stupid, psychopathic and annoying daughter of his? Even her own mother is getting tired of her” Nellie pouted and continued crying.
“What’s going on here?” Matteo’s voice made her to jump from the floor.
“And did i just hear you call my daughter names?” Matteo added gnashing his teeth.
“B-boss” Sammie swallowed.
“I…I…” Nellie stammered picking her fingers.
“Busted” Akantha smiled evily…only God knows how long she has been awaiting this day….
“M-matteo I can explain” Nellie pouted and before everyone knew, a slap was sent across her face.
“How dare you?” Matteo br@wled.
“After everything i did for you, after every troubles i brou-ght you out of, after placing you so high and having everyone in my clan worship you, you have the impetus to call my daughter, my blood a psychopath and an annoying being?” Matteo raged.
“My daughter’s maid have been complaining about you calling Zola names but never for once did i believe her….a green snake Nellie, a green snake that’s the exact word that defines you as you are useless and br@inless and your Godforsaken parents…after every thing i did for you? Yes i heard every words you said, you were here before Nicky, that’s right….but have you for once wondered why i never made any advances at you? It’s because i saw you as the family that i never had and like them all, you betrayed me….i told you about Bell’s pregnancy a second ago because i thought you’ve gotten over this obsession you call love but i was wrong….” Matteo picked each words hurtfully.
“I’m disappointed Nellie…you deserve to be punished but i won’t, not every betrayal can be resolved with punishment” He muttered.
“Thank you for paying back good with evil” He added.
“If you’re tired of being in my clan, the gate is opened, you can leave and if you decide to stay, never again should i ever see this face of yours…it disgusts me” He spat and began walking away.
“Did you just hear him Sammie? I disgust him….I just feel like dying…” Nellie screamed.
“I’m not obsessed with him Sammie, i love him, i really do…” she continued crying.
She never knew that all she has been saying is hurting Sammie because despite everything he did for her to love him back, it turned out that it was all in vain.
“I have a question for you Nellie” He said sadly and Nellie raised up her swollen eyes to stare at him.
“Do you feel anything for me?” He asked despite knowing the kind of hurtful answer he’ll get.
“Sammie….” Nellie sighed.
“Just answer me please….” He asked desperately.
“Fine” Nellie sighed.
“I’m sorry Sammie” Nellie pouted
“Never for once did i love you, you know it de-ep within you but you failed to believe, what we had, the se-x, the fun and bond, i don’t know the perfect word to call it but it’s far from love, Matteo is the one i love and always will” She completed with a sigh.
“I knew this is the kind of answer I’ll get, why did i even ask?” Sammie said sadly walking away.
“Sammie….” Akantha called trying to go after him.
“Don’t” Nellie prevented her from doing so.
“He nee-ds time to process everything” She added.
“Let him be for now”.

MATTEO’S ROOM
Matteo walked into his room in fury, never for once did he imagine that Nellie will view his daughter the way she did….never for once did he imagine that she’ll betray him this way….Zola never for once complained to him but he should have known….no wonder they never got along…
His mind suddenly traveled to numerous occasions where she normally showers Zola with praises while Zola uses abusive words on her calling her a pretender and a serpent….this must be the reason….in his presence Nellie treats Zola like an angel just to please him but behind his back, his daughter is nothing but a stupid and annoying creature to her.
“I should have read the handwriting on the wall” He sighed.
“Are you okay?” That voice finally made him realize that he’s not the only one in the room, Rebel was here with him.
“No….” he replied honestly.
“I’m hurt” He said raking his fingers throu-ghhis hair.
“Is it because of what i did?” Rebel said playing with her nails.
“I’m sincerely sorry” She apologized from the bott-om of her heart.
“I just wasn’t ready to be a mum, I’m twenty…”
“That’s not your reason” Matteo cut her off looking dangerously at her.
“Your age wasn’t the reason behind your action, people give birth at eighteen, ninetten and twenty, you’re twenty + Rebel, you’re old enough, i think your reason is that you aren’t good enough….seeing the face of your child everytime will remind you of how heartless, selfish and how much of a betrayal you were….seeing your child will remind you of me when I’m jailed, you don’t want to be left with any memory of me, it took me time to realize but now I do” Matteo smiled sadly.
“Matteo….” Rebel sighed breaking down.
“strangely you’re right but about one thing alone, I’m scared that I’ll co-ckat motherhood but the rest, you’re wrong……why do you think that i don’t wanna have a memory of you? And why do you think that you’ll get jailed? You think I’ll just sit by and watch that happen?” She sobbed.
“I have a plan Matteo and I’ll like you to listen” She mumbled and Matteo gave her the go ahead to speak.
“We’ll leave Denim Matteo to Morio…..it’s an abandoned city in the middle of no where, no one will ever be able to find us there but before then, we’ll have to handle the cops and everyone working with them…..if blood have to be spilled then so be it” she concluded with a smile.
“Morio? Just me, you, Zola and the baby?” He furrowed his brow.
“Not just us, we leave with everyone” Rebel mumbled.
“Wow!!!” Matteo smiled.
“But that’s not plan enough yunno!!!” He chuckled.
“That’s all i can come up with” she pouted.
“Don’t worry, I’ll come up with the rest” He smiled.
“I think i should leave and allow you to rest since they’ll be no punishment for me from the look of things” She mumbled making to stand up.
“Who said they’ll be no punishment for you?” Matteo knitted his brow making her to freeze.
“How about i punish you on bed” he winked and stood up to his feet…like flash, he was standing in front of her…….
“I think I’m gonna like this punishment” Rebel smiled before pulling him closer and smacking her li-ps on his.

A knock landed on the door of room 005….The person doesn’t seem to be the patient type as she continued knocking troublesomely.
“Who is it?” Celia screamed running to the door….she pushed it open and a smile landed on her li-ps on seeing who it was.
“Aunty Isme….” She smiled shyly since she was in just her undies.
Isme pushed her off and walked in in fury.
“Did i say or do something wrong?” Celia wondered and rushed in after her.
“Isme?” Will gasped on seeing her and jumped out of bed putting on his trousers quickly…..Isme took a seat and crossed her legs troublesomely.
“Having fun huh!!!” Isme chuckled dramatically.
“What are you doing here?” Will furrowed his brow.
“Celia or what do they call you?” Isme asked rudely.
“It’s Celia ma’am” She smiled.
“I’ve been ignoring but I’ve had enough, i was the one who picked Will up from the street and made him who he is today not you? I was the one who has been with him throu-ghthick and thin not you so I’ll be sounding my first and final warning, leave him the fuc-k alone, if you don’t” Isme chuckled dramatically.
“I’ll kill you” She said sternly.
“I don’t un-derstand what you’re saying ma’am” Celia frowned and Isme jumped from the chair facing her.
“I said fuc-king leave my boyfriend alone” Isme barked and Celia froze for a while.
“W-will, she ain’t your aunt? You’re actually dating her?” She said in shock.
“Babe i can explain…I wanted to tell you” Will ran to her.
“Look at me babe, i don’t love her, it’s you i love” He pouted.
“Will actually says that to every b!tch he bangs” Isme chipped in making hot tears to stream down Celia’s eyes.
“If you love me, you won’t lie to me…..” Celia said in tears.
“I wanted to tell you the truth but i was scared of losing you” He replied now breaking down.
“I’m familiar with that line already….” Celia shuttered and walked to the direction where she threw her clothes while they were making out some minutes back….she grabbed them and began putting them on.
“Babe please, it shouldn’t be what I’m thinking” Will went down on his knees.
Celia having put on her clothes grabbed her bag and began walking out when Will grabbed her by the hand.
“Don’t ever lay your hands on me” She warned.
“The next time you do, I’ll show you the beast in me” She threatened.
“And you…..” She pointed at Isme.
“You can have him, i don’t share men with grannies, I’ve been tolerating your rude behavior because i thought you were related to this man right here but now that I’m clear of the kind of relationship the both of you have, i won’t be all smiley the next time…..the both of you can have all the fun you want, bye….” She winked before walking away.
“No…no…no” Will ran after her and made to collect her bag from her ……Celia lost her cool and sent a slap across his face.
“I warned you Will” She spat on his face.
“Do i have to say the word before you actually know what i mean?” She shuttered.
“Fine…..read my li-ps Will, it’s over between us” She spat before walking away.
“Did you see what you did?” Will charged at Isme.
“Don’t you dare what you’re attempting” Isme warned the moment he was an inch from her.
“Arrghh!!!!” Will gritted his teeth and turned away from her.
“Don’t worry, i forgive you for cheating” Isme mumbled.
“Screw you Isme” Will screamed.

“What are you doing here? Are you watching my movements now?” Sammie furrowed his brow as he sp-otted Monarch in the place where he normally comes to clear his head.
Monarch on hearing his voice rolled her eyes.
“Don’t flatter yourself, I’ve gotten over you and to set the record straight, I’m not watching your movements, this is where i normally comes to clear my head whenever I’m angry” She replied.
“Like seriously?” Sammie smiled and took a seat beside her.
“I’m happy the boss has a similar place here, I’m familiar with the one in the clan.
“Me too” Sammie smiled and Monarch raised up her head, the moment their eyes met, she looked away quickly.
“So…” She cleared up her throat and continued.
“What happened? Why are you clearing your head?” She pried.
“It’s personal…” Sammie sighed
“Then I’m sorry for asking” Monarch rolled her eyes.
“Don’t be, you’re the last person i should be telling this” He stopped for a while and continued.
“Nellie said she never felt a thing for me and hearing it from her was really heartbreaking, what was i even expecting to hear? I love the boss and i love you too?” He smiled sadly.
“That serve you right Sammie” Monarch said seriously and he chuckled.
“I’m not joking, those were thesame words you used on me, what I’ve never done for any man, i did it for you, i can’t even believe that i set aside my ego and asked you out, you turned me down rudely and i must say that it hurts like hell….it’s good you’re experiencing thesame pain you made me feel” Monarch said as a matter of factly.
“I’m really sorry Monarch, i was stupid and inhumane back then, experience they say it’s the best teacher, now i know better” He sighed.
“It’s fine” She shrugged it off.
“So why are you here?” He turned the table to her.
“You already know, i was nearly killed earlier, that punishment was damn!!! I thought you said it was the simplest?” She pouted.
“It is, those punishments were enfor-ced by Roberto Girmini the first Mafia to ever walk on the face of the earth, he was ruthless, scary, name it…you see that book, every Mafia has a copy of it” He explained.
“Wow!!!” Monarch smiled.
“Boss is normally fond of that book, he stopped using it for a while but i guess he’s back at it again” Sammie added.
“Thanks for what you did earlier anyway, i really appreciate” She smiled.
“What part exactly?” He knitted his brow.
“Both, most especially, the rescue”
“It’s nothing” He waved it off.
“But there’s something i don’t get, i thought you hated me due to the way you treated me but why then did you save me?” She inquired waiting for a response but got none….she discovered that he was lost staring at something…..she followed his gaze and her brows crea-sed.
“Isn’t that Pierce?” She voiced out.
“I thought as much” Sammie replied.
“I have to inform the boss”.
