Playing for both sides

"All they want is me so that's what they'll get ." I grabbed my things and made my way for the EXIT . That was cut short quickly because Dakota strong ass pulled my back . " Your not going without me T! And that's a fucking fact . " Dakota grabbed my wrist tight.

ZOEY

"Why are we even going through this Jane huh ? Enough of the cat and mouse games just fight me like a grown ass woman . No guns and no knifes just a clean cut fight . "

She tied her hair in a ponytail as she spoke "I'm pretty sure we will get to that soon ,but until then someone would like to speak with you ." In came my mother with a frantic look on her face .

"Jane let her go , neither of the girls should be involved .Just please leave them out of this I beg you . " My mother rushed over to me and began to try to pry lose the ropes. "See I knew you were involved in some sketchy shit . Here I am thinking I'm cleaning up the mess you created , but all your doing is creating a bigger problem . " I said while shaking my head .

"I wouldn't remove that rope if I were you . But go ahead and explain to your daughter why your truly here . Ooo let me get a seat for this babyyy." She pulled a seat in front of me and looked over at my mother with a smirk .

"It's nothing to worry about Zoe ."my mother spoke

Cattleya walked in with Veronica at the hip . My mother walked over to cattleya and Veronica. They exchange a few words then turned to Jane and I . "Go ahead and tell her !" Veronica yelled as she pushed my mother forward.

"Alright " my mom fiddled with the rings on her fingers . "Well when Veronica's father and I were together things were crazy . Long story short when I left you and your sister I moved back in with him . He owed people money mainly cattleya and when he died I was forced to pay over 7k in drug money . I moved back in with him to help him get clean but that was before I knew the deal he had with Jane . "

"Basically six bags of cocaine in exchange for her disappearance. Not the cheap stuff you can get on the corner or an alley the real authentic kind . Well Jane lied and said she paid for the drugs ,but before someone could call her on her shit she was a ghost . Your stepfather died and I was force to ask Veronica to pay it . She paid it but as  you can she there were strings attached." My mother said

"Tell her the deal you made with my baby ." Cattleya wrapped her arms around Veronica's waist.

I throw my head back laughing hard as fuck . " Wait .... wait so cattleya you rocking with Vee now ?!"

Veronica was fuming with anger and that brought a smile to my face . She attempted to walk over to me but cattleya pulled her closer while whispering something in her ear . "Cattleya knows I knows where here loyalty lies ." I smirk

Dakota
"Make sure your guns safety is off aim wisely you only have two bullets. Shoot smart and be safe ." Toni instructed

"You got me right ? "

"Yes, I pinky promise " .she put out her pinky . I smiled and wrapped my pinky around hers . She kissed her pinky then let go "Come on let's go"

I kicked the door open and no sign of Zoey ."Just suitcases come on I see stairs their could be a basement "

"Finally we can get started " Jane said as I walked down the stairs with Toni close behind. Quickly I examined the room for any windows or any possible places for escape.

"I'm here so now you need to let her go ." Toni took her gun out and kicked it behind her . I picked it up and stood there prepared to shoot.

"So where is it ? " Jane asked while walking over to cattleya. " I brought you the whole family to do whatever the hell your going to do . Sooooo can I have my tickets to Europe now ?"

"No I changed my mind once I realized you were a snake ." Cattleya pulled a gun from behind Veronica and shot Jane in the leg .

"You son of a ....... we had a damn deal !!" Jane yelled while bent over holding her now bloody leg . Cattleya took one final shot and that was in the head . I watched as her lifeless body fell to the ground. Veronica shot the two body guards without hesitation. Then pointed her gun at Zoey .

Cattleya chuckled then pushed the gun down "Nahh see what you not finna do is shoot her . Oh and this little relationship is over ...hell it was over before it even started "

Cattleya turned her head closed her eyes then took her shot . Veronica stood there shocked as she looked at the blood coming from her chest. She touched the area where she now shot . A tear rolled down her cheek as another bullet was sent into her chest .

"Look I'm going to make one final deal with the Santiago's . Moms you need to bounce no contact with the girls no nothing . Your debt is erased outta my mind don't give me a reason to remember it . Zoey stay out of trouble take this ticket your flight leaves at eight . Get the hell out of Florida and don't come back when the time is right I will visit you . Zoey leave this girl out of your shit ." She pointed at Toni

"Let this girl move on and live her life . Here Zoey and you know I love you girl . " She pulled her pocket knife out and cut Zoey loose .

"I love you to "Zoey pulled cattleya in a tight hug then let her go . "Get out of here and I mean it " Cattleya handed her the tickets to Europe . "My guys will clean this up tonight and remember you stay off my radar and there won't be any problems babes . But peace " she winked then picked up her duffel bag .

"Thank you "Zoey said and cattleya nodded then walked up the stairs of the basement .
