The Devil's Angel

Chapter Seventeen

3rd person pov

Life in the Black family was back to normal like the past never happened, Sam was well and has resume her motherly role in all aspect, working a decent job with a very nice salary enough to pay the bills and still put food on the table, gone were the days of liquor, boost and drugs, the days of shouting, beating and tears, such was a relief to Cass cuz she could finally be the girl she wanted to be and not the mother of three. Mother fate was really taking a break from her ass, so she thought. This was the wind before the storm and it was as silent as a road trip to hell. As expected her relationship with Damian Cross became a bliss while her sister Ashley got entangled with the wrong kid, Ralph was his name, to her he was not the best neither was he the kind of guy or man she had fantasies with in her dreams but he will do, for a high school romance standard he was the perfect kid.

Lost in the world of bliss Cass was taking life slowly, getting back to full health, dancing away her time and day in her kitchen preparing meal while the newly in-store stereo was blasting from the living room. She was totally oblivious of the dangers that lurks in the dark waiting to devour. The only Black girl who was well aware of this danger the bliss brought was Chloe, who like a predator watches the danger and at the same time gets herself well acquainted with the world of pain, sweat and training. For someone her age she was beginning to spot muscles in the right places, her attacks were more definite and she was getting fierce, like the cat of the wild she was dangerous. Secretly training in the hands of Lilia and her associate, Chloe got herself well prepared for the storm that's lies ahead and was ready to face it heads on. She was the only one who was aware of the schemes of this Ralph, creepy as midnight sex in the barn, he has found his way into Ashley life.

At the Cross Villa, cries and screams were the order of the day as the combination of the Cross siblings took turns inflicting pains of different measures on the young men whose only mistake was been obvious with the fact that they were tailing Damian, the mob king. With torture techniques ranging from getting shocked from the electric chair to crude method like that of pliers and scissors to burned knives even down to clubs. The smell of sulphur, vomit, blood and burnt flesh were the daily activities of the trio. Damian more aware of the danger yet to come and whose confidence knew no bound was indeed getting answers for himself. For starters he knew that Lawrence and his boss Sung were not alone and are acting on the authority of the one they called viper. According to these boys no one has seen his face and his meeting with their boss was a close and in house meeting so they knew little and only carried out instructions. Regis death gave the Cross's confirmation that the said viper was the leader of the Auxi group which was surprisingly to said the least. Never have the Auxi's been these coordinated especially under one leader such person would be a formidable foe such that the devil in Damian was awoken and ready to play.
For the past few days he has spent less time with Cass in fact all the Cross siblings had cuz her presence won't give them room to do what they are known to do, for the devil to reign he needs not be disturbed by an angel especially an angel he so desired. She was bringing out the best in them and not like they don't want it but such attributes would get one killed during wars in the mob world. Damian needed all the answers he could get before holding a meeting with his alliance and allies cuz as king he needs answers and should damn well be articulated.

To the viper as he was now known, his plans showcase the mastermind in him and his little attack in America was going unnotice by the king, let say he gave them what to think and made them occupied with useless things after all he had known them since they were little, watch them form their alliances and rose more high the ladder of power. His hatred for them was his driving force and his vision as king was so beautiful that he was tagged mad but no one dares to say such in his presence for fear of been killed. The mafia world was pawn in his game and America his playing field, he was good to go. With his will and power he was definite the king will be getting the shock of his life one that will live on and echo in the walls of history, a momentum and a monument of his deeds will be taught to generations yet to come. Though he was sure of his plans he still traded with care cuz he doubt the abilities of his pawn, to him success must be assured and nothing nor no one will stand in his way yet he kept his trump card hidden only to be used when all odds were against him. This is a battle he doesn't want to lose. The report from his dogs were currently pleasing to his ears and with the eyes of an eagle who sees far and watches all that is happening he couldn't see what the king was doing and that in itself was disturbing. He has stayed with the king for a long time living in the shadows studying and planning he was certain he didn't know the mind of the young king as much as he thought he did. With his presence in the Cross Villa he still lacked knowledge of what the king was up to, like his father before him the king is secret in his actions and has currently reduced the number of people who he tells things, I have to be careful he tells himself. Though he may be poisonous been the snake he is, he knew the king feared no snake cuz he is the king of the jungle and as king all other animals and beast bow and fear him, well my dear that will be changing soon, He laughed to himself.

Dressed in his royal attire envisioning his time as king he walked round his throne room admiring his work so far. With little more stop to make along the way his final plan will be set in motion. In due time the world will be shouting "all hail the king".
