EPISODE 46; ARE WE READY?
“I was about coming to get you” Declan mumbled sighting me. “Are you ok? You look disturbed” he added when he sensed the tension pooling out of me.
“My dad called earlier today Declan” I replied lowly and their eyes widened.
“But your dad doesn’t have your number. How come…” His words were cut short when the realization dawned on him. “Your brother told him everything” he stated completing his sentence and I nodded.
Their eyes observed me till I settled down.
Staring at the affection in their eyes made me allow my tears to flow freely. For years I’ve believed that the walls I’ve built so far will help me in times like this but even the walls have abandoned me. All I feel is pain. So much Pain and Betrayal!
“What does he want Mistress?” Dagrin implored sitting beside me.
“My forgiveness. He wants me to take him back as my dad.”
“Well, I know you suffered a lot. I know your story more than anyone else and I know it’s hard for you to forgive him. But then you have to cause he’s still your father. And to me, I think it’s time to let go since you’ve had your revenge. It’s time to start all over again Snipy” Ariana whispered and squatted before me.
“You think it’s easy to let go Ariana? Do you think it’s easy to just forget everything? I fucking suffered assault more than five times from different men and you think I’ll just let go of everything and take back a man who easily pushed me away without listening to my side of the story? You know all I passed through, you know baby” I babbled drawing in hiccups.
“Don’t break down now Mistress. We need you” Declan whispered and took me into his arms.
“It hurts Declan, it hurts” I sobbed gripping him.
“Ariana is right Snipy. We all have been wronged in one way or the other but yet we forgave and moved on cause that’s the only thing to do. You have to do that too. To live or die he is still your father. That’s a fact of life you can’t change dear. He made a grave mistake as a human he is and I know he’s learned his lesson. Please forgive him” the Queen mumbled.
“Our Queen here has said it all Mafia Lord. The dude is still your Papi. Just imagine he loses his life today, will you still be here or will you be there planning his funeral? Of course, you will be there. So you see, dude is still your dad. perdónale” Jayden groaned.
“What more can I say Mafia Lord, all words have been said already so it’s left for you to think about it while you sleep tonight and make your decision. We can only talk and suggest but the final say is left to you. Piénsalo.”
Exhaling I hugged them feeling a little relieved and smiled.
“So what’s the plan for the day?” I asked Dagrin and he grinned.
“We are waiting for the call of our dear Rajveer Mistress. His call will lead us to the next action.”
“I believe he will soon call cause he promised to” Ariana whispered and I smiled up at her.
“You made me so proud yesterday baby. I never knew you could be that patient with anyone. Bravo, my baby.”
“I did it so that I’ll get fucked by Dagrin once all this is over” she breathed and winked at him.
I rolled my eyes at them and everyone burst out laughing.
“My phone!” Ariana shrieked startling us.
“What happened to your phone?” I asked staring keenly at her.
“It’s ringing!” She giggled dancing.
“Pick it up, pick it up quickly” Dagrin urged her and she did.
“Hello, Mr. Rajveer. For a moment I thought you weren’t gonna call” she whispered giggling.
“Is that why you ran away last night?” Rajveer’s voice echoed cause her phone was on loudspeaker and our eyes bulged out.
“I’m.. I…,”
“You don’t have to say anything Ariana. I guess you forgot to use the substance you used on me on my driver too cause he told me how you jumped out of the car immediately he wanted to move and took off in a deadpan race”
“Tell him something came up” I murmured lowly to her hearing.
“Erm.. It’s not like that Mr. Rajveer. Something urgent came up and I had to leave. I’m so sorry and will make it up to you.”
“You will receive a message containing the address we’ll be meeting in once this call drops. I’ll be waiting and I hope you don’t run off again once the deal is signed and payment made. And don’t even try to use that substance on me again cause it won’t work. Namaste!” He barked and ended the call.
“He just ended up Snipy” Ariana mumbled pointing at her phone.
“We ain’t deaf. We know that. It’s obvious he’s bent on sleeping with you. What do we do now Declan?”
“Our plan remains the same Mistress. I’ll be working out things with Dagrin while you all go freshen up. Once the deal is signed and payment is made we will barge in and grab him.”
“Ok then, I’ll be back” I retorted and walked out. I was on my way to my bathroom when the message tone of Ariana’s phone sounded and a fulfilling smile crept into my face.

I walked out to see everyone was already dressed up waiting for me. “What’s the plan?” I directed at Dagrin.
“We’ve been able to track the location Mistress. It’s a decorated balcony downtown which has one entrance and three exits. Ariana will be walking in through the entrance while each of us will stay at each exit. We are bigger than the exits so some of us will be staying in twos while two of us will remain in the car.”
“Ok. Anything more?”
“I’ve scheduled our staying to be this way; You, me, and Declan will be at the three exits. The Queen will be joining you while Linda will be joining Declan. Jayden and Lucas will be staying back at the car so they will move immediately after we enter. All our movements should be done in two minutes immediately after the payment is made. Hope we understand.”
“Yes we do master” I teased him and we all laughed to ease the tension. “What about the car we will be using?”
“I’ve handled that Mistress” Declan replied.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Are we ready?”
“Yes, we are!” They shrieked and we hugged each other, walked out, and entered the car zooming off.
