Chapter 39 & 40
Katrina led the man who had brou-ght her over. She got to an unknown gate and the masked man stopped to look at her.
” Is this where they are having their honeymoon?” He asked, staring at her startled.
” Yes, right here!” Katrina pointed decisively.
He stared at the mysterious gate again and wondered why it was looking like those large fences in action movies.
He returned his gaze back at her.
” This place doesn’t look like any place to have a honeymoon. Are you sure they are indoors?”
” This is the backside of the place. I couldn’t follow the front so we wouldn’t be caught.” She said and swiped up a knife from her back pocket.
” I’ll Check it out for myself ” she said and walked towards the face detection.
She palmed the machine and used her knife to cut out the surface that revealed the wires and bu-ttons inside.
” Hold this.” She threw the board to him. The man caught it and smiled, looking astonished.
” I love your skill. You should be a very diligent criminal.” He said.
” Shut up and watch what I’m doing. I’m going to have all the money that mrs lewis has to offer.” She rattled.
” What money. Do you think you are going to be paid after helping me.”
” Whatever.” She rolled her eyes and began to tear out the wires aimlessly.
After she was done, she moved back and stared at her work.
” What’s next?” The man stepped forward to ask.
” Fix the board back and let’s see what happens.” She said and he moved to do as she said.
While he was working on it, katrina silently pulled out her long knife.
She squinted her eyes carefully as she moved closer to him like a ninja.
” Just play along, katie. Play along.” She mumbled to herself.
As soon as she got hold of him, she stabbed him ha-rd on his ne-ck and left hold of the knife there.
A pool of blood began to ease from his body and he fell to the ground quickly.
Katrina moved back in shock. This wasn’t the first time she killed someone but the view of the man’s blood was quite horrific.
She moved away from him and brou-ght up her phone quickly.
She tried vixen number countless times and saw he wasn’t picking.
She began to panic thereafter.
” Hey!. You!” Someone shouted.
She looked behind her and saw some security guards. She took on her heels, running over to the car.
She had never drive but she was going to this time around, whether she had a licence or not.
She overtook the driver seat and began to sped out into the road hastily. She turned her head countless times and was glad she wasn’t chased.
She got to broadway bridge and she ignited her car there, sighing and p@n-ting ha-rd with fear.
Her phone buzzed from the back of the seat and she immediately picked it, towards her ears
” Hello vixen..”
” Katrina!. Why have you been avoiding my calls!. For Godsake, where are you now!”
” I’m at Broadway and I’m in so much trouble!”
” Broadway right?. I’d be there in a jiffy.” He said and cut the call.
Katrina stepped out of the car and rested on it, letting the greedy breeze swoosh throu-ghher hot face.
She grabbed her curly hair ti-ghtly and folded it into a bun.
Ten minute later, katrina saw vixen’s car coming from the opposite direction towards her. He dropped to a side of the road and she immediately rushed to him.
He alighted from his car and she rushed to embrace him in a quick hug.
Inside the car,
Katrina sighed as she threw her head backwards.
” I almost died vix. You won’t believe the risk i had to fall into.”
” How did it happen. I left you guys to visit the mall, before i was back, you were all gone. Even few maids.”
” Vix. Your mom is part of those people trying to hurt Amy and xan. She sent some men to drug me so that i could act towards their orders. But sorry for them, they made a mistake on who to fool.” She yelled.
Vixen sighed and rested his palm on his face.
” You don’t un-derstand. Something happened between my parent and xan and it has been hunting us all from the very beginning.”
” What’s that?” she asked.
Vixen sat up.
” Ion want to break that awful egg news yet. Maybe, until i have the intention to do so.” He said.
He picked his keys and started the car immediately.

BEACH SIDE★ HONEYMOON ★
Amy was woken to the smell of sweet roasted fish. she sat up, scru-b-bing her dry eyes.
” Hubby!” She mumbled tiredly. She looked around and saw that xan wasn’t here and she was completely na-ked in bed.
She grabbed the duvet together to cover herself and the memories of last night flashed throu-ghher head.
She picked one of Xan’s shirt on the bed and pulled it on herself before stepping out of the camp house.
Outside the house,
Xan was wearing a beach p@n-t as he skillfully roasted some beef canned meat. His face was earlier serious while he focused on his cooking but they vanished the moment he saw his little wife come along.
He dropped his knife and cleaned his hands in a serviette before wrapping his hands around her for a ti-ght hug.
They remained like that for a while, succu-mbing to eachother’s warmness.
” Good morning, hubby.” She smiled.
” Good morning my wifey” He said with a smooth voice and Amy shaked herself off his grip.
She went around him and stretched up her feet to see how the meat looks like.
” You’re roasting meat?. Mmn. I like what I’m seeing here” She said and poked her hands on the dry meat leaving her finger with a sharp burning pain.
She winced and xan went into action immediately. He picked her hand and su-ck ed it ha-rd until there wasn’t any pain to feel again.
” Good now?” He asked as Amy blankly stared at him. She nodded her head quickly.
” We have a morning routine today.” He said lowering the heat of the fire.
” A routine?”
” i told you there were more thing to do here than swimming and camping all day long. We would also go for a three minute jog exercise”
” Ahaah!” She slumped her shoulders, bringing out a pout li-p.
” And, mind you, before we eat the roasted meat, you must have completed the required minutes or else…” He said and Amy grumbled louder.
” But why can’t we do stuff we both like. Ion like walking or jogging!” She said, crossing her arm on her che-st.
He ruffled her head and made her rest on his che-st.
” Don’t worry. You are gonna love it today, bet with me!” He smi-rked se-xily.
He matched her out to the beachside and they got out looking lovely couples who came down from heaven.
” We’ll make this more fun. When you get tired, I’ll give you a piggy-ride for one min and when i do, you kis-s me. Mn?” He asked and she nodded her head, turning pink and red all over.
He throated a chuckle and ru-bbed his knuckles.
” Okay. One..two..go!” He trotted and they started off.
He jogged more slowly because she had small legs and the beach sand were in heaps. Silence reined among them for a while until Amy started to yell.
She hadn’t gone half a minute and she began to p@n-t and breath tiredly.
She rested her hand on her kneels, stretching her arm to call xan.
Xan stopped and ran his fingers into his hair as he approached her. Such a lazy little fruit, he thought.
He turned around and she happily jumped on him, wrapping her hands on his ne-ck. Xan got her legs and rolled it on his ti-ghs.
” Geez. You are quite heavy one” Xan muttered as he continued to hop away.
” Fire!. Fire horseman!” She yelled, spa-nking his bu-tt playfully.
In less than one minute, he dropped her down p@n-ting for breath too. Amy stared at him and almost wanted to chuckle.
” I’m breathless and tired. My kis-s..” He said gesturing to his li-ps.
Amy slumped her shoulders as she walked up to him. She naively captured his li-ps and he leaned into her, kis-sing her back, ha-rd and hungrily.
His hands ran into her hair and he tilted his head to a side, salivating the sweetness of her li-p.
He stopped after a while to catch his breath and he stared at her. Her li-ps had gotten swollen already from kis-sing too much.
She looked away from his face and turned around.
” Let’s continue, we have one minute more to jog.” She said, hopping away. Xan laughed as he chased her.
This was the same girl who didn’t like walking or jogging. She had become suddenly addicted to it.
And like that, they completed their first routine for the day.
” Wasn’t it fun?” He asked as they returned back to their camp house.
” Perhaps because you had to give me a piggy-ride and i had to kis-s you. Mn” She said stubbornly.
Xan chuckled and threw his hands around her shoulders.
” Do you know how to surf in the water?”
” No.”
” I’ll teach you tomorrow as well.” He said and her eyes got wide-ned.

MRS QIN HOME.
It was sunset already,,
Mrs qin arrived at her doorstep with a lot in her hands. She saw a letter on her wall and picked it up before entering into the house.
She sat down on the sofa and read throu-ghthe paper. She saw that the letter was from the house owner.
The young gentle man who wrote the letter talked about paying off house rent before the due date tomorrow.
She threw her hands to her li-ps. Her house rent would expire tomorrow!. No..they must be wrong somewhere.
There was a knock on the door. she went forward to open it.
” Oh. Good evening sir.” She greeted the agent as he walked in along with his three other guest. They were probably house agent with the way they dressed in all black.
” Search the crooks and crannies.” He told them and they hastily did as he said.
They began to detect the state of the house and when they saw that the places was still intact, they nodded to their boss.
” Good. You are leaving here first thing tomorrow morning.” The man told mrs qin.
” Tomorrow morning!.” Mrs qin screamed out her lungs. She had placed her mindset towards evening.
” We don’t accommodate poor people who can’t pay up their previous house rent or the new one they owe. It’s better for us if you go!. You are leaving tomorrow!” He yelled.
Mrs qin ran to hold his shirt.
” Okay. I..i..promise to pay before the end of the week. I promise!” She begged.
” Sorry, but we can’t change our mind. First thing tomorrow, you must be out of here or we’ll for-ce you to leave”
“. How about i stay here for three more days until i can find another apartment?” She asked and the man was left with a widely opened li-ps.
He couldn’t believe he just explained something to her and she had forgotten.
” I said we can’t change our mind!. You’d better leave here before we meet you here tomorrow!” He yelled and she squirmed back in fear.
The men all left the house with the house keys, and mrs qin fell back on the sofa helpless.
She wouldnt sleep on the street, she had no friend house to stay.
She picked out her phone to inform vixen about the news.
….
XAN’S MANSION.
Vixen sat up on his bed after hearing a noise coming from outside the gate.
He stood up and walked towards the window in his room. A limo was just driving in.
Vixen identified this limo and he knew It was the favourite limo that his mom cherished and drove around.
A woman in a tall glittering dress stepped out with her chauffer who helped her with a luggage bag and they began to step towards the mansion.
He turned around and katrina was already infront of him
” Who was that?” She asked.
” It’s my mom.” He said.
” Oh my God!. Why is she here?!” Katrina yelled, widening her eyes.
” Shhh. I’ll handle her myself. Just stay here for a while, I’ll be back.” He said.
” No. I need to come with you.”
” You have to stay here until i know if the coast is cleared for you to walk into the living room. You know we can’t trust her easily, mn?” He said carre-sing her cheek.
She sighed, rolling her eyes in disappointment.
” I’ll be back.” He kis-sed her and left the room.
He was in the process of climbing down the grand staircase in livingroom, when the door suddenly opened, revealing the woman un-der the purple glittering dress.
She walked in and looked around the spectacular house xan owned. She was impressed already.
She wished vixen was the one who owned it and not xan. To her, xan wasn’t good enough to enjoy good things.
He was her; wretched son born by her. After strolling around the room, she sp-otted her eyes on vixen who was standing fixed at a sp-ot.
” Oh, vixen…” She laughed, holding her che-st.
” Mom. What are you doing here with your bags?” He asked.
” Can’t i come over to my son’s house anymore. I’m only here for a week, that’s all” she said
” Tell me mom, You are here for a week to cause trouble and evil right!” Vixen yelled.
She hastily walked up to him as her heels clacked on the tiles.
” Son. I don’t get the reason why you would yell at me with those harsh words. What do you mean by evil and trouble?”
” That’s what you came here to do, mom!. You can’t deny it!. You came here to cause trouble for the new couples, Xan and Amy.”
” What!. Aren’t they on a honeymoon?”
” They are and might return back soon before the week runs out. You’d use the opportunity to ”
” Ha!. I wish!. I came here to take a break from the social life outside. I can’t bear the heat so i decided to have some fresh air.” She said.
She plonked herself on the sofa and threw her heads backwards.
” After 10 years mom, you still could come here right?. I thought you said you never needed my brother or anything related to him. I left you because you left him. I’m sure you came back for your evil, devilish task ”
” Vixen!” She stood up. ” I know i did all of that but don’t accuse me of coming here to do any evil stuff.”
Vixen had a sm-irk on his cheek.
” Good, you said it yourself. it better that you came here for a betterment cus i won’t take it easy on you if you try to ruin their marriage.” He sneered.
Katrina began to step down the stairs and the two wheels who were arguing turned to stare at her.
Vixen slapped his head in disappointment. He knew katrina never un-derstood simple math.
Mrs lewis crossed gazes with katrina but her eyes didn’t elude evil this time.
Katrina stood beside vixen. She folded her hands with anger as she mumbled some curse on her face.
” Hey. So she’s your new friend.” Mrs lewis asked.
” Yes, my girlfriend. Katrina.” Vixen said.
” I can see. Welcome to the family, katrina.” Mrs lewis said stretching her arm for an handshake.
” Thank you, ma’am” she said with a blunt smile while rejecting her hand.
Mrs lewis sighed and dropped her arm, curling her li-ps into her mouth.
The silence got disrupted by a knock on the door and one of the chauffeur in the mansion matched in with another luggage bag.
Mrs lewis stood up quickly.
” Huh?. I..i..didn’t bring two bags here. How come it…”
Her words got stuck to her throat when she saw mrs qin dressed in a large coat and ne-ck scarf trip into the house.
” Her?!….
” You brou-ght her here….
TBC.
So katrina wasn’t working for mrs lewis, she only tried to get what she wanted.?
Question is, Who’s loving the new coming together????
Mother in law wahala ready to show up. Our couples are the only one left before the house is complete.
