KISS OF BETRAYAL

CHAPTER-3

"This is Lily's fiance. Look Mr Christian or whatever they call you, I don't want to perceive you around Lily again. You understand? If you see her, don't even greet, just go your way and she will go hers."

Flora nodded in approval, Flames might be a racketeer, but he spoke English so flawlessly. She still didn't understand how he ended up on the streets.

"And don't call her," Flora mouthed. She loved the exaggerated baritone, it was threatening all on it's own. He changed his voice so effortlessly. 

"Yes and don't ever call her again. If I see you around her, only God knows what I will do to you. Goodbye Mr Christian."

Flames ended the call. Flora gave him a high five, giggling silently so as not to make too much noise. Some other shady people were also doing underground business here. Flames was the man she hired, to add finishing touches to her plans which were well underway.

"You're so cool," Flora said in admiration, opening her handbag to pay him.

Flames smiled toothlessly. He had very few teeth remaining in his mouth, testimony to numerous bar fights and jungle life.
"That's my job."

He collected the money and counted, mentally giving himself a pat on the back. 100 ways to make quick cash number 1, help Bitches set up their female friends.

"Excuse me? I said 10k what's this?" Flames asked with that upturned mouth. Was that a scar that ran across his upper lip?

"I know. Just manage 5k, I will pay up later," Flora said, assuming that bossy stance. Little did she know it didn't work on everyone.

"Look, I don't do child's business. If you don't pay up right now, get ready to leave without your phone and trust me, nobody's gonna help you here," Flames said, his voice becoming a dangerous whisper. His cold eyes hardened ominously.

"Is that supposed to be a threat or something?" Flora's voice rose with fury. Imagine the nincompoop.

"Don't make noise here," Flames cut in, glancing around quickly.

"I even paid you 5k and you're still talking," Flora continued, glaring at him. "Many people would have done it for less. Please take the money and free me jorrh. Don't be greedy. Besides, I've have already said that I will pay up later."

Flames stared at her, a muscle was ticking in his jaw. That's the problem with all these envious Bitches. They are always jealous, saucy and broke.

"I'm not many people," he replied, with a deceptively calm voice, trying really hard to remain the gentleman and control his temper.

Ignoring him totally, Flora stood up, adjusted her spotless white dress like a peahen and made to leave. Flames grabbed her handbag.

"If not because I know you, I would have done something that would forever keep your filthy mouth shut," he threatened, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits.

"Like seriously? Are you threatening me?" Flora's laughter was mirthless. "I give you two minutes to release my handbag. One...two... "

This wasn't going well at all for Flora. She had collected all the money she had and even borrowed from Lily to complete it. Where would she get another 5k? The guy must be a greedy fool.
She shook off a wave of guilt as Lily came to mind. If Lily had left Chris for her in the first place, both of them wouldn't have been going through this. Lily betrayed her first!

"Little girls should not joke with fire. This was an agreement," Flames said curtly, intruding into her thoughts.

She burst into a hysterical laughter, holding her stomach.
"I, Flora Sue, joking with fire. Leave my bag now or else..."
