CHAPTER 11&12
★ ★ ★ ★
“Get out!” Malcolm ordered, and pushed Cindy out.
“Aiish” She muttered, un-der her breath, almost stumbling to the floor.
“Malcolm!!” She screamed, and banged her hand against his door.
“Go away!” He screamed back.
Cindy gr-unted, and folded her arms on her che-st.
“Don’t you wanna know where Rhoda is?? Will you keep ignoring her??”
There was silence.
Cindy sighed.
“Lexus Hotel. Room 216” She said.
“Malcolm? You heard that, right?” She asked, but there was still silence.
“Oh well” She muttered with an eye roll, and left sight.
Malcolm sighed de-eply and slowly walked to his bedroom.
“No appointment or calls from the two side. As a Soloist, and even as a Mafia. I nee-d more jobs” He said, to himself, as he laid flatly on his bed.
“I’m so booooreedddd”
He pouted and looked at the ceiling.
His imaginations took the best of him, and Rhoda’s face appeared, right away.
He sque-ezed his face and turned to the other side of his bed. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
He saw the perfect imagination of Rhoda. She was lying down, right there.
“You…What are you doing here? Just…just get out of my mind! Who are you to disappear and appear as you please, huh!” He barked.
Rhoda just smiled softly, and shifted closer to him.
Wrapping her arms around his body, and placing her head on his che-st, She whispered;
“Ssh…I wanna rest”
He shook his head, and ti-ghtly closed his eyes. He opened them quickly, but Rhoda was gone.
He angrily sprang up, and went to his drink shelf.
He wanted to drink himself to stupor.
****
Rhoda checked her amazing figure out on the big mirror. She was wearing a light, wine-colored gown.
She smiled at her reflection, and walked slowly to her bed.
She was about lying down when she heard a knock on the door.
“Am I expecting anyone?” She thought.
“Who’s that??” She asked, standing up slowly.
She walked to the door, and checked the system beside it. The screen showed Malcolm.
“What’s he doing here?” She muttered, and opened the door.
“Malcolm?” She whispered.
“Ew,, You reek of alcohol. Why did you drink so much?” She asked.
“Why can’t you just let me be??” He questioned.
“I…don’t un-derstand” She spoke, cooly.
Malcolm said nothing and entered inside. Rhoda sighed, and closed the door. She watched him, sit on her bed.
“Why are you here, Malcolm?” She asked.
“No…I should be the one asking you that, Rhoda?? Why are you here??”
She slowly blinked her eyes, sadly.
“Give me another chance,,, please. I promise not to hurt you, again…ever”
Malcolm rou-ghed his hair, frustratedly.
He looked up, to see Rhoda already by his side.
“I…was already forgetting about you..So, why…no…why did you have to just appear into my life?” He bit his lower li-p, trying to take in, his sob that could leave his mouth.
Rhoda sat down on his thi-ghs, and kept her arms, around his broad shoulders.
“Malcolm? Cindy told me everything” She smiled.
He sighed de-eply.
“About?”
“You”
“Me?”
She nodded.
“Everything,,, about your life in Korea. She told me you’re a mafia now. You run things with the others. Your gangs are kind. They came over recently and we had a little introduction”
Malcolm was simply staring at her red, soft li-ps.
Rhoda soonest notice he was already distracted. She smiled and kizzed him lightly on his li-ps.
Malcolm’s eyes shut involuntarily at that moment. He opened his eyes quickly and looked at her.
Rhoda smiled at his face. She was about to kizz him again, but he quickly stood up.
“I’m gonna leave. Goodnight. Sorry for coming unexpectedly” He told her.
“Malcolm??” She quickly called.
Malcolm sighed de-eply and turned to her.
Rhoda clenched her fist as a way to muster up her courage.
“Please,,, Let me join your gang. I can help in any wa-
“Rhoda. Stop. Please,,, don’t just go there”
“You don’t let me back into your life. Even your heart is locked. Now, you can’t even let me into your gang??” She asked, crying softly.
“I just don’t want you getting hurt. You know what, just as you promised, quietly leave after Ariana get killed, okay?”
“I won’t get hurt, I promise. Do you think I’m that sweet cute maid of yesterday. Things evolved. I changed”
Malcolm sighed de-eply, in frustration.
“Rho-
“When you left, I was on my own. Since Leo, our don died,,, We became a subject to our enemies. To remain alive, We trained ha-rd, day and night. Every single one, in the Mafia’s cartel were included in the journey for fight and survival. No one wanted to die. I trained every single day. I’m good with weapons. I can fight. I’m telling you the tru-
“Rhoda, Enough!! Please,,, Enough. Just rest. Goodnight” He said, and walked out.
Rhoda whimpered, and bitter tears ran down her cheeks.

Malcolm moved around his bed, like his body was itchy. He wasn’t comfortable that Rhoda was back in Korea. written by sommy pearl f.
Could something be wrong?
His thoughts were endless.
His thought suddenly went to Ariana and he quickly grabbed his phone. He called Cindy instantly.
“Cindy? Hello? Where is Ariana right now??” He asked.
“The hospital” She replied.
“Dammit!! What if she escapes again?? What if we don’t find her? What if her gangs comes over to rescue her or something?? We ought to be very careful and vigilant” He cautioned.
Cindy sighed de-eply.
“I’m right here,,, at the hospital”
“What?”
“What could I have done? We can’t leave her alone here. Who knows what might happen”
“But you can’t keep on staying at the hospital each night you know” Malcolm bit his li-ps, thinking ha-rd.
“Of course. Thats why we nee-d to think of something,,, fast”
Malcolm sighed.
“We will. So,,, what’s she doing now?”
“Well,,, last time I checked, She was asleep” Cindy replied.
“Last time you checked?? Wait,,, Where are you right now??” He stood up, quickly.
“Chill, okay?” Cindy laughed.
“Anyways, I’m at the veranda,,, just watching this hu-ge bright city. I’m busy smoking by the way”
Malcolm heaved.
“Keep an eye on her”
“Sure boss”
Malcolm smiled.
“Now,,, Thats my Cactus”
Cindy smiled wi-dely, and opened her mouth, releasing the white smoke out.
GINA’S MANSION**
“So, We are dating now, right?” Gina smiled.
Oliver slowly opened his eyes, and turned to face her.
They were on her large bed, with the white duvet covering their bodies.
He smiled at her, and cleared the hair sticking on her chin.
“Of course” He whispered.
Gina chuckled and hu-gged him close.
“You were damn great, Oliver”
Oliver smiled, and just then, his smile faded away.
THE NEXT MORNING***
Rhoda was brushing her teeth when she heard a loud knock that morning.
She smiled and rinsed her mouth.
“He only pretends not to be worried” She thought and walked to the door which she opened.
She bulged her eyes open, seeing a stranger looking fiercely at her.
“Who are you? Wrong room” She flatly said, and was about to jam the door close, but the man’s strong hand held the door.
He pushed the door open, grabbed her, and placed a white hanky on her nose.
She smelt the substance added on it, and fainted instantly.
THE MAFIA’S CARTEL**
Malcolm’s heart was beating fast.
Everyone could hear it.
“Where are we, please?” Ariana asked, fearfully.
“Can you just be quiet” Cindy warned, quietly.
She took out her ear buds and dived it into Ariana’s ears, so that she wouldn’t hear a thing.
MK’s music was the song playing at that time.
Ariana looked down, She wondered where she was and what news Cindy heard that made her run over to an enclosed location. She even took her along, for what??
Though, She wasn’t up for denial, She was certainlynenjoying the music.
“Play it again” Malcolm swallowed ha-rd.
Oliver sighed de-eply and tapped the play bu-tton.
A video started playing.
It showed Rhoda who was bundled up with thick ropes, on her arms and legs.
She had a gag on her mouth, which prevented her from talking.
A voice was heard at the background.
“You wanna save her, Mafia??”
Malcolm gnashed his teeth, and clenched his fist. He was mad.
“Bring Ariana Bells here” The voice ordered.
“Bob,,, Check for the location now” Malcolm commanded.
“Yes, boss” Oliver replied.
Ariana looked at Malcolm who turned quickly at her.
He was trying to hide his tears, but she saw it.
Malcolm looked at Ariana, quickly wiped his tears, and nervously walked away.
Ariana stood up worriedly and followed him.
