Damn.
I’m the Queen Now
Have you ever looked at someone and decided you hated that person for life? Rhea was hundred percent positive about that feeling for Macy.
She had managed to calm Mimi and talked her through her problem and together, they were about to go find Victor and tell him the truth when they stumbled into the bitch in the living room.
The nerve!
Rhea could vividly remember that day; the day the bitch tried to dry-drown her. She couldn’t forget the torture, the pain she had to go through all because of that woman, and here she was standing as if nothing happened and looking radiant as ever.
Honestly, Rhea thought Lukas killed her off or something since she hasn’t set her eyes for a long time, but it turns out the bitch was alive and kicking. And yes, she would gladly support Lukas this time if he wanted to kill her because the act was justifiable for once.
Rhea had the urge to shovel a body.
It seems the feeling was mutual because the woman’s eyes widened slightly, then narrowed on her when she finally recognized her. Rhea could see shock, bitterness, then the rage in those eyes.
Oh, how delighted she would be if they could have a rematch right now because she had a lot of pent-up energy and a lot she wanted to say with her fist! That woman managed to get the best of her that day only because two men were holding her down but not anymore.
Rhea was not a trained fighter, however, she was streetwise and was trained with a backbone. She associated with people from the slum and there wasn’t the word ‘giving up’ in her dictionary. Macy might be trained and all, but she fought dirty and with the amount of adrenaline pumping through her body right now, she wouldn’t be surprised if she lifted a trunk.
…..
“What is she doing here?” She heard Mimi hiss by her side.
Oh, it seems that she wasn’t the only one with a score to settle with the bitch.
“I should be the one asking what the both of you are doing here,” The bitch finally talked and Rhea had to restrain herself from tackling her to the ground and beating the daylight out of her.
Rhea knew Lukas and the woman had something in the past which wasn’t surprising, men were predictable – and dick heads. However, that wasn’t her business, Rhea wouldn’t shame a fellow woman because of a man even though she was as jealous as hell. But then, that woman tried to kill her and that wasn’t something she forgave easily.
“Really? You want to know?” Rhea’s words were sarcastic and dripping with animosity. Even the soldiers by the side noticed the tension in the air and backed off. They all knew it was not advisable to butt into a showdown between women. A casualty loss is still a thing.
Rhea sashayed into the living room and sat down confidently on the single sofa usually reserved for Lukas, crossing her leg over the other, saying,
“I’m the queen now, bitch, what are you?”
Macy’s eyes came alive with flames while her nostrils flared and she clenched her hands into fists by her side. She has not seen this coming. She should have known this was the reason Lukas didn’t want her to return to the base. He was getting into bed with that whore.
“Yes, bitch, she’s the queen now. What are you?” Mimi supported her friend, beginning to massage Rhea’s shoulder from behind. And maybe, that was a bit over the top? But whatever, Rhea was going to enjoy her friend’s support.
And she knew that one, Macy glared at Mimi. Didn’t Lukas hire her or something? Just what was going on here? Why are the two barbarians acting like they were in power? The Lukas she knew would never accept that.
And speak of the devil.
Macy was hopeful as soon as she set eyes on Lukas, however, she couldn’t understand why he was rushing into the room as if the devil was on his heels. Or maybe he was excited to see her.
However, her face fell when she saw Lukas ask, “What is it?” looking in the direction of that woman with his breath ragged as if he had been truly worried – worried over the woman, the realization devastated her.
Macy took a step back and Lukas finally turned, his gaze finally settling on her, and her throat constricted with emotion. Instead of excitement in his eyes, Macy saw anxiety in there as if he never wanted her here in the first place. Or maybe he never wanted her here after all. He has moved on, the startling realization knocked the breath out of her lungs.
No, Macy refused to believe it. It was not true. That bitch must have something over him and is threatening him with it. Lukas was never this week. Lukas would never let a woman turn him into a pussy. It was impossible.
“Macy,”
She heard Lukas call her name and hope grew in her heart. Perhaps Lukas had not forgotten her after all.
“Boss,” She hardly took a step when she saw that woman stand up and went to Lukas. Before her very eyes, she kissed him and Lukas didn’t stop her.
Macy felt her heart break into a million pieces as she watched that woman exert her control over Lukas and something inside of her died.
“I’ll be waiting for you when you’re done with her,” Rhea muttered to Lukas as soon as she broke away from the kiss. Casting one last look at Macy, her lips curled to the side and she turned to Mimi, “Let’s go, bestie,”
“Gladly,” Mimi took her hand as they walked away in style.
As soon as they left, Lukas turned warily to his former second in command. Macy has always prided herself on masking her emotions, but right now, she let it all out and Lukas didn’t know how to deal with it.
“My office now,” was all he ordered and left. No matter their relationship, he couldn’t afford to set off a bomb called Rhea because Hell hath no fury like a woman in love.
The Best News Of His Life
“What is it?” Rhea sighed deeply. She then turned to meet her friend who had been staring at her as if she developed two heads.
“Nothing,” Mimi shrugged, “I just never expected it, that’s all. I already prepared myself for a bit of action, you know pulling of hair and a bit of karate here and there,” She made some ridiculous moves to prove her point and thankfully, didn’t fall on her butt.
Rhea laughed at her, “Well, thank you for the demonstration Mimi, but that’s me being mature here. I was trying to save Lukas’s face and not prove to his entire soldiers that he has a possessive, rabid girlfriend.”
“Aww,” Mimi mimicked a proud mother’s tone, “Who’s my girl? My little girl’s all grown up,” She teased her.
“Alright, stop it,” Rhea told her amid laughter. She then wrapped her arm around her neck and pulled her to her side while grinning.
The both of them walked on as Rhea said, “Moreover, I trust that Lukas would do the right thing.” She hoped so else all hell would break loose. Rhea can’t stand the face of that woman around here, not to mention the fact that she and Lukas had something in the past. It should all belong in the past.
As if reading her mind, Mimi asked her, “And if he doesn’t? What would you do? Trust me when I tell you, that woman has a grade A in bitchery,” She referred to her first time encountering Macy.
Rhea pulled away from her, her brows creased as she thought hard, however, said in the end, “He would. ” And that was final. Lukas would do what was right, she believed so.
She moved on, “Moreover,” Rhea felt the need to speak up and defend her decision, “I understand why Lukas wants her alive, she’s a valuable asset to him. Just like I can’t Elijah dies, he can’t end her life just like that. So you can think of this as me being fair.”
…..
And the moment Mimi heard those words, she halted in her steps and looked hard and long at her friend which made her brows arch questioningly.
“What now, Mimi?
Mimi came close to her and looked around to see if there are others around and when there was none, she asked her,
“Tell me, the truth, Rhea, you know what Elijah looks like, don’t you?”
