9: Dancing with Shadows

"Kaya what the fuck?!" Jax exclaimed on the other side of the phone, "You fucking stole the business card, are you out of your fucking mind?"

"I was going to give it back-" Kaya tried to defend herself.

"No!" He sighs and adds, "Kaya... you know what will happen when they will catch you stealing?"

"I know but I just extended the hotel days until I find someone."

"Kaya, I don't think you fucking understand, you have spent over eight thousand pounds of the company's funds, thankfully I saw it first and decided to get your number in the hands to warn you."

"Jax I know I fucked up but you don't understand what I am dealing with."

"Still Kaya you could go to jail for fraud! I am doing the financials for Belle Étoile and if I dont sort it out by the end of this month Ill have to split."

"Jax please I am begging you, just give me five more days to get my baerings straight and Ill pay you the money back."

"Kaya I dont think you know how busy my job is at the moment, I am lying to my boss over eight thousand pound that's missing, and I would put my job at risk when not solving it."

Kaya sighs and looked around the room her palm on her head as she took a seat on the bed, "Ok, Ill pay you the money back when I leave the hotel I only have five days left and them ill be out of your hair and the company."

"Kaya what is so fucking important to you to stay for five more days?!"

"My son! If I dont get my son out of Venice and I am still working on the plan but I am closer than I was ever to get him back."

She hears a sigh on the other side of the phone, "Okay Kaya, I am coming to collect the card on Thursday, that gives you four days to get your shit together and pay me the money back, did I make myself clear?"

"Yeah, I heard you-"

Before finishing her sentence Jax ends the call on the other side leaving Kaya in a silent room. The tension has built and the silence has made Kaya uncomftrble in her own skin. She needed to talk to someone but Lucas wasnt near by nor did he show his face. She had so much on her plate, the two bodies in the broom closet at the other hotel, rescuing her son from her mother and now trying to protect her name from fraud. Trying to juggle all of these was bound to make Kayas life hell. If she gets rid of the bodies then she has one thing out of her way, then she could pay the money back and get her son back.

Following this makeshift plan was a way Kaya could direct herself towards a goal, but Kaya doesn't know karma has a way to deal with these things.

The next day, Kaya walked into the staff room and collected her outfit, butting the outfit on she made sure her wig was sitting comfortably on her head and holding the pocket mirror in her hand being sure her makeup and brows were manipulating her face she straightened her poise and returned the small mirror in the locker leaving the staff room with her cleaning trolley.

Walking through the hall and toward the hotel, she looked at the two buttons and pressed the up button. Waiting for the elevator she looked at the man helping a couple in front of the check-in desk, Kaya's mind went wild and she thought over the good times she and her husband had before they had Alex, before she killed him. These memories were good but knowing all of those deeds she has done, that letter that destroyed their marriage it wall went haywire since then.

In her mind, she heard the elevator sound and popped out of her head. She walked into the elevator and pushed the top floor - which was the second floor - and looked at how the doors slid closed. As the elevator ascended to the second floor it came to a halt and the doors slid open, she pushed the trolley out of the elevator and followed it down the hall, watching as the room numbers increased she reached the last in the hall, looking at the number A211 at how the golden numbers shined over the sun through the curtians.
