Layler’s POV.

Okay, okay, do not panic, you hate the guy and it was just a quickie breathe, breathe, breathe.

I get dressed and then I decide to go fetch Alexis, I am really tired. When I pick her up she looks totally drunk so I do not even bother to converse with her.

I get home and then I go straight to the shower, I gotta wash the idiot's germs off. I am scrubbing so hard my skin could peel off.
After taking a shower I put on my red bum shorts and a bra and then I decide to lay in bed.

After 45 minutes of trying to sleep, I simply turn on my phone and I check for texts.

Alvaro: Hey, there are some new developments.

Alvaro is my private investigator and my childhood friend. It's been 3 years now since I've put him on the case of looking for the Mercy brothers (Frank and Fredrick). They are diamond dealers and also the people who got my father killed. They were a team Frank, Fredrick and my father, till they switched sides and betrayed him and left him for dead.

My brother Quinton had went to confront the Mercy brothers to get them to confess but Fredrick killed my brother after he refused to leave the premises.
They had the nerve to attend both funerals and I solemnly swore that I would avenge my family. After the whole funeral I went back to the church to pray and while I was on my knees a hit man started shooting in the church, I got shot on my left arm but not much damage was done and then I sent them a message every month for the first 4 years telling them that I would kill each and every member of their family.

After that I went silent for 4 whole years because they had relocated and I didn't have the resources to hunt them down but now with Alvaro texting me I shall surely avenge my father and brother.

Layler: Great! Come through tomorrow.

I send a reply and then I scroll down but still no message from Jerry, that is a good sign because that means no strings attached and life goes on, I am glad we were able to silently understand each other.

I wake up at noon to find 17 missed calls from Alvaro. Dammit I must have fallen asleep!
I am all about texts, phone calls are just so unnecessary really.

Layler: Flip listen I will come see you Thursday afternoon okay? I have a couple of things to do and in the meantime try to gather as much information as possible.

Well that isn’t a lie because today is Saturday and it's Alex's birthday so I've decided to take him and Alexis shopping for new clothes so that they can burn the old ones. While they are shopping I will pull a few strings and give them a huge birthday present, of course Bauti is the one handling everything but hooray for participating right?

I get out of bed and I wash my face and brush my teeth, hey! Don't judge me I already took a bath for days the minute I got home earlier on. I put on a pair of white jeans and a black crop top without a bra, I have sexy boobs so I look rather fine today and then I put on a pair of timbs, I let my hair loose and no shades for the day.

I get downstairs and it seems like there is no-one in the house, wow so the yearly ritual has been cancelled? Oh well less hassles for me.

"Afternoon sis, Ready to go? Oh we are wearing the same outfits, cute" Alexis beams, I spoke too soon.

"Take a picture it lasts longer" I say as I open the door to the garage, she follows me and then she gets inside the car before I do, wow someone is excited.

"Where is nena and Alex?" I ask aloud as I press the button to let the garage door open.

"Alex went out with his friend Max to buy booze and all those other party supplies"

"Party supplies?" I furrow my eyebrows as I enter my car.

"He is throwing a party tonight, it is a 6 to 6 type of thing, it is going to be lit I even invited my friends Sarah, Mona, Angie-"

“You give these kids too much money for an allowance Layler” my nena says this to me every month. It could be true I mean Alex is planning on throwing an epic party and he didn't even ask for money.

"And nena?"

"She went to the church conference in Canada she left this morning, she is coming back on Tuesday."
I do not even bother to reply but rather I drive her to the nearest mall and I drop her off, we agreed that I do not have to pick her up since her friend Angie has a car and she will drive her back.

Alex and his friend Max had a slight problem on their way back, Max's car had a flat tyre so I had to go fetch them while the tow truck took away Max's car.

The minute I enter my driveway I see a blue Ferrari F60 parked. It looks brand new. The minute I stop the car Alex storms out and he runs to the car and enters immediately.

I know for a fact I didn't tell Bauti to get Alex a F60 I ordered a blue and red BMW M series not an f60, Bauti better have an explanation for this.

"I knew you would come around big sis but an F60? You are full of surprises" He gets out and hugs me I do not hug him back instead I just stand there.

"Sweet ride man" Max adds.
I walk around the car and the minute I reach the front I see the license plate "Layler", Bauti has started with his petty games. I open the passenger seat and I see a small box wrapped beautifully in red and pink. I open it to find the key and the key chain is written "Stainless" I laugh at the irony because the key chain is made from stainless steel.

There is a small note at the bottom of the box.
From the one who hit it from the back-JERRY.

I smile at the second irony. Wow so he got me an F60 as a replacement? Rich bastard.
I turn to look at Alex who is clearly excited.

"Listen Alex this is a gift from a friend of mine not your car, so do me a favour and park it in the garage" I throw the keys at him and give him a wink then I get back into my car and drive off. Their party is starting in a few minutes and I cannot stand snotty teenagers, so I went to the office and worked, worked, worked.
I slept at the office and missed church on Sunday because of all the cleaning up that we had to do because of the party.
