Lover's Greed

Chapter 2 ''Anxious''

''This one will do.'' Victoria spoke harshly, making sure her tone was loud and clear for all the staff and customers in the shop, including Rose. ''Ugh.. it's the wrong size, what size are you again Rose?'' Victoria gritted her jaw, pissed off over the slightest mistake,

''Victoria.. calm down..'' Rose mumbled quietly, nervously while trying to calm Victoria down, pulling at her arm gently while pouting and looking around timidly, hoping no one is looking our way.

''Rose, we're leaving.'' Victoria dragged rose out the shop, not giving her a chance to notice the man following them constantly throughout the mall, not letting the 2 out of his sight for a second.

''I'm following them miss..'' The mysterious man spoke, holding a burner phone up to his ear while keeping his green eyes on the 2, blending in as just a normal man on the phone, probably looking for his family or friends in the mall, acting as if he was lost and was calling whoever he got lost from to find him,

''Victoria.. I don't want her. I want that Riverstone girl in my hands. No matter the cost, you got it?'' a feminine voice could be heard from the other end of the phone, a dark and mysterious voice, just as dark as if it was one of Satan's minions in the making.

''But miss.. that Victoria girl is like a predator around that Riverstone.. I can barely get close to them without Victoria thinking she wants me dead.'' the man spoke, worried of what Victoria was possibly capable of.

''Get it done Jackson or he's a goner.'' then a beep rang in his ears, indicating the women hang up. The man sighed and tried to stay calm, cold sweat dripping from his forehead as he placed the phone in his pocket, catching up to Rose and Victoria, trying his best to stay blended in.

''Victoria, I feel.. anxious.. like something is wrong..'' Rose mumbled, trembling, looking around the mall in panic while tugging at Victoria's fur jacket sleeve, keeping them both in their position, making them look like a awkward black cat and golden retriever in the middle of a mall. 

''Calm down my little golden retriever.. you know that I would never let you get hurt, right mi amor?'' Victoria leaned down to Rose's height, putting her maroon lips up to Rose's ear and mumbling in her ear quietly, soothing her with her angelic voice, tracing her thumbs over Rose's palm, massaging it gently while smiling gently.

''I guess your right.. but still.. it's like... I.. someone is watching us..'' Rose mumbled, her cheeks a shade of crimson-red from being embarrassed by Victoria's movements, she gently held her arms around the figure, pressing herself up against Victoria, unaware of the man watching them from the bench just a couple steps away.

''Nonsense, stay here for a second mi amor, I need to go talk to.. a old friend.'' Victoria quickly walked off, leaving Rose stranded in the middle of the mall like a stray golden retriever trying to find a owner. ''Jackson. Why are you here you stupid stubborn adult?'' Victoria gritted her jaw and clenched her fists, annoyed by the presence of 'Jackson' , she grabbed his hoodie collar, her face inches away from hers.

''Maria sent me! She wanted that.. whatever her name was.. that girl you dragged to live with you years ago.. she said something about.. um, the Riverstone girl being 'hers?' yeah..'' Jackson stuttered, slurring over his words while panicking and trying to get out of Victoria's grip.

''You and Maria stay out of this Jackson, we don't want one of you two to end up in my basement, do we? Or worse, your sister.'' Victoria pressed a ice cold gun against Jackson's abdomen, holding it tightly while glaring right into his eye's ''Victoria.. calm down... please!..'' Jackson begged, panicked slightly from the presence of a gun.
