Fatal affair

•VII•

"We're in a tight spot. The deadline to pay our rent is this Friday, and Aiden still hasn't paid you back, Maia," Evelyn exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice. "We can't rely on him anymore. We gotta find a way to do this shit by ourselves" Her determination was unwavering as she voiced her plan.

"Let's confront him directly and demand what's ours. It's time to show him we mean business and won't back down until we have the money in our hands." Maya said

"Let's Go into his apartment and take the money. Everyone knows about the money that's going around" Evelyn's face tightened with anger.

"Yeah he has it. He was the last person with the money and he was supposed to give it to someone else" Maya spoke.

Marie's mind raced as she considered the situation. Thoughts swirled, but she hesitated to voice her opinion, afraid of how it might be perceived. She didn't want Evelyn and the others to think differently of her, but there was a nagging doubt in the back of her mind.

What if their plan didn't go as intended? What if it backfired and made things worse?

She weighed the risks and rewards, her fingers nervously tapping against her leg. Marie knew that taking matters into their own hands was a bold move, but there was a part of her that questioned whether they had explored all their options.

Perhaps there was a different approach, a less confrontational route that could lead to a resolution without escalating tensions.

Yet, as Marie glanced at Evelyn's Maya's determined expressions and felt the weight of the situation, she understood the urgency.

They needed the money, and time was running out. She took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper.

"And what if he doesn't have the money. So we just go in and rob some random man for absolutely no reason?"

"Then we kill his ass" Maya's voice rang.

Marie's heart sunk as she listened. She knew that they needed a way out but this...this was to far.

Fear was a concept that seemed foreign to maya. In high school, Maya had a reputation as someone not to be crossed, and people were cautious around her.

Marie, however, knew a different side of Maya. She understood that Maya's strength was never directed towards those she cared for and loved. They had been friends for so long that Marie knew Maya would never do anything to harm her.

But when it came to others, Maya was a force to be reckoned with. Her presence commanded respect, and people couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation in her presence.

Before she could zone out she could hear both Maya and Evelyn saying they were ready to get going.

Marie was a bit hesitant, but she mustered up the courage to join them in the car. She knew they were desperate for the money, so she didn't want to back out now. Once she settled in the car, she couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves.

they came up with multiple contingency plans in case things went south. However, Marie couldn't shake off her doubts about whether these plans would actually work as intended.

She didn't want the back-up plans to fail, as it would only add more complications to an already uncertain situation. Despite the presence of these contingency plans, Marie's skepticism lingered, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the entire situation.
