CRUEL INTENTIONS

Chapter 12

At the party

Carvida exhaled softly and twirled her glass of wine absentmindedly. She was dressed in a strapless ruched satin black mini dress with high black heels. She looked sexy and gorgeous but this party was definitely not one bit interesting. Most of the people present here either wanted a job or wanted to find a good sex partner for the night.

It was honestly boring but she stayed for the sake of Mr Roger and everything he did for her. Sighing heavily, she gulped down the wine quickly and placed her glass on one of the waiter's tray before grabbing another glass. It was her 7th glass already but she was still good to go. She took a sip from her glass and stared at the guests when her phone suddenly vibrated in her purse.

She quickly placed her glass on a nearby table and took her phone out only to find a message from her stalker :

Little flower, I told you not to wear a fucking revealing dress. You disobeyed! I told you not to drink either. Do you want a punishment?

Stop drinking instantly or I swear I'll come and take you out of there myself.
This is my last warning.

She smirked and took her glass back before gulping down the wine. Let's see if he really has the guts to come get her. She grabbed another glass of wine from the waiter and gulped it down as well. She wanted to see to what lengths her stalker would go for her. Why? She did not quite know herself but she was intrigued by his obsession towards her.

"Let's see what you will do now, L" She said to herself before placing the glass on another waiter's tray passing by her. She was going to take another glass but the door opened catching her attention. She looked there and sucked in a breath. Her eyes widening at the sight of Aziel Keith standing there in a luxurious Louis Vuitton suit. She watched as Mr Roger immediately greeted the man with a smile... Aziel smiled back at Mr Roger and shook his hand as well but his eyes scanned the room before finally landing on her.

His eyes instantly darkened and he smirked making Carvida look away. What the actual fuck was he doing here? Ah among all people, he had to be here. Damn it! She scowled and finally grabbed another glass looking away from Aziel and Mr Roger.

She took a sip from her glass hoping to not feel bothered by Aziel's presence and felt her phone vibrate again. She quickly unlocked it and saw another text from her stalker :

Little flower, get the hell out of that party. Now!

She frowned staring at the text. Why was her stalker so hyped up? Was it because of Aziel? Come on, that uncle would not be able to hurt her. He would never find out about what happened to Alexander. Right?

"Miss Gray, How we meet again huh? How are you doing?" Aziel's voice was heard making her look up with a scowl. Great his presence was not enough he had to come talk to her.

"Ah Aziel Indeed we meet again... I'm doing well. What about you?" She asked in a fake charming tone. Aziel narrowed his eyes in response and clenched his jaw clearly not appreciating the fact that she called him by his first name.

"I'm not doing so well you see because my nephew is not here with me" Aziel said with a stoic expression.

"Indeed I understand but if you love your nephew so much. What are you doing here in a party instead of looking for him?" She asked pointedly.

"That's exactly what I'm doing. You are my primary suspect and I definitely don't buy the story you told Officer John. If I'm going to start looking for him. It's you my first target " Aziel replied, his voice laced with hatred. Her heart started beating faster, that was not good.. If Aziel doubted her. He would watch her every move and sooner or later he will probably find out about her stalker. She could not let that happen.

"It's your problem if you don't believe what I said. It's the truth and if you are unwilling to accept it. I can't force you Aziel" Carvida replied in a matter of fact, a stoic expression on her face.

"It's not Aziel to you. It's Mr Keith" Aziel replied with a scowl.

"You haven't earn my respect for me to call you Mr Keith" She replied calmly before placing her glass of wine on the table.

"Listen here kid. I know something happened to my nephew and you are certainly involved in it. He can't dissappear into thin air just like that. And I really hope he's not dead... But if he is.. I would advise you to pray. Pray to God for your safety Miss Gray " Aziel spat threateningly. All manners thrown out of the window.

She chuckled softly. " Is that supposed to be a threat? Oh Aziel. You won't scare me like that. And you are wasting your precious time. I did nothing to your nephew "She replied staring at the man defiantly. And technically it was true. She did nothing to Alexander. It was her stalker. But she did not want 'L' to be in danger either.

"You think I believe you? One night with you at the cinema and he suddenly dissappears. It doesn't fit" Aziel replied staring right back at her.

She sighed softly and placed her glass on the table. "If you came here to talk bullshit. You might as well leave" She replied wanting the man gone already. "Besides what are you even doing here?" She added. He was not supposed to be here...

Aziel smirked in reply. "You see I'm the CEO of the 2nd biggest company in the city and I'm invited to every parties sweetheart" Aziel said making her curse under her breath. No wonder Alexander looked rich.

"Ah Aziel. What a pleasant surprise!" Another voice was suddenly heard behind Aziel making her freeze on the spot. She knew that voice..
