The Clean Up
The Clean Up
The morning after Florence returned, I had my game plans to follow cautiously, trying not to cause any harm to my family or start a war. It was my right and I couldn't allow a female steal that from me. She had the opportunity to put me away for life, she didn't let that opportunity pass but failed eventually, now it was my turn to roll the dice.
"Your mom has been calling. She'd be worried if I kept you any longer." I told Evelyn as I dressed up that morning, looking at her through the mirror.
"I will be home soon" she was on a call.
Evelyn had made sure she had the most of me that night, and somehow I felt my energy drained but as a man, I couldn't say she won me sexually.
"I really enjoyed every thrust. Thanks Honey for last night." The addicted Evelyn said. I gave her another smile and continued working my tie. It was show time, the moment I had to carry out my duties as the man of the house and also as the business head.
"How can I get enough of your sweetness?" I asked as she held me again.
"Promise me something Steve"
"What could that be?"
"I want you to have me for ever, even if I'm married to someone else" she requested.
"That's a hard one and you know. Can I think over it?" I asked , turning to face her and romantically kissed her forehead.
"You're the boss, I will wait for your response"
"Thanks Honey for your patience. It's time to go" I announced, leaving her neck. I had to leave alone, just the way I arrived to avoid eyes on me.
The ride home was full of energy, although Evelyn had drained some the previous night, the thoughts of having over two hundred luxurious cars in my personal garage made my heart race. It didn't take long, I found myself before the gate. Just a single horn and the gate rolled to the side, the gate keeper must have been expecting me. I drove and parked carefully, where I would easily reverse and leave if need arose.
"Good morning Kiddo" Florence greeted immediately I stepped into the sitting room, as if she was waiting all night.
"Morning big sis. How was the party?" I asked. She quietly glanced around and I followed her gazes to discover the mess they have made out of the most expensive living rooms in the state. Maybe I should applaud her or probably give her a slap.
"The party was lit. You were absent. All business now I guess?"
"I'm sorry for that but yes, all business now" I told her.
"It's nice. You will need to work harder in order to keep dad's legacy going."
"Wrong. I'm working with the Steve's legacy now." I told her and I could see the shock registered on her face.
"You no longer care about the family, do you?" She asked, holding unto my palm as we walked towards the elevator.
"Why would anyone think such?"
"Isn't it obvious? You abandoned me in prison and only visited once after mom's persuasion. You sacked me in my absence and then snubbed my party. Isn't that what this is all about?"
"Can we talk about something else now?" I tried to keep her sane. She smiled and squeezed my hand.
"Are you really sure you missed me?" She asked.
"Oh yes, why? I missed you terribly" I told her. She just smiled and kept calm. There was more to her silence, I could tell.
We parted ways at the hall way, as we entered out separate suites.
"You've changed a whole lot" she shouted at the top of her voice, bringing her echoes to me. I wasn't given the opportunity to respond as she banged her door. She could have her plans, but I was steps ahead.
Lucia was still in my suite as arranged and she had made report of everything she could observe, Sophia didn't miss a thing at work place and Olivia was very active too, giving feedbacks accurately. Once I settled in with Lucia giving me the run down of new reports, I called Evelyn to know her plans and she assured me that her mom had no problem as at then. It was time for the clean up.
Moments later, Florence placed a call, asking for my presence in the living room. It sounded like an urgent meeting though, maybe she had made arrangements to spice up her surprises.
"Kiddo, you kept me waiting" said Florence in form of a whisper as I entered the living room, Lucia following with a pace behind.
"I'm Steve. Kiddo makes me feel like a teenager." I whispered into her ears, before taking a better look at the line up of staffs, all employed by her in my absence, "and who are they?" I asked to the hearing of them all.
"The new workers." Florence simply said.
"Oh really? They all look smart. Hey, are you the cook?" I asked one of them.
"No sir. I'm the chauffeur" the tall man replied.
"Impressive" I gave the nonchallant attitude, I could tell Florence was displeased but I had to ignore her. Stepping towards the new house servants, I noticed they were dressed in poorly made attires.
"For the honour of this glorious house, I suggest they get a change of clothes, don't you think so Big Sis? " facing Florence now. She stared silently while her body guards made angry looks. I didn't care anyway.
"We will work on that. Now you have seen them. Can we talk privately now?" She called my attention. Florence may have been a bad person but she was still my sweet sister, I had to give her my attention though. She moved to a lonely corner as the servants found their ways out of the living room, left now with only Lucia and the three guards, I asked, "what's the matter?" Noticing her countenance.
"Please leave us alone" she announced and the guards moved away, Lucia stood still and Florence looked at me. I understood that look immediately and gestured with my eyes to Lucia who also walked away, same direction the thugs have taken.
"Now, what is it?" I asked again.
"Kiddo, why are you trying to make things more complicated than they already are?"
I do not understand. Do we still have complications here?" I asked.
"You're my brother. We have crossed lines and you know how much I love you. Why did you put a stranger amongst us?" She asked.
"We are surrendered by strangers, on all walls. Who is this particular stranger that bothers you?" I asked again, full of pretence and really enjoying her discomfort.
"That lady, whatever her name is, I don't know"
"Lucia. Simply call her Lucia and she's here just the way every other stranger is." I cleared her.
"Kiddo, I don't her like her" she stated.
"I'm sure she doesn't like you either. But she's here as my private staff. Why do you have issues with that?"
"Do you fuck her? Be sincere. She seems too confident and that can only be if she is sucking your dick" she said, breaking down as she spoke, her emotions betraying her. I couldn't hold back the laughter, it came out loud that Florence started giving me weak punches.
"Are those three guys pounding your tender pussy too? I threw back.
"Don't be silly. They are just my body guards" she defended.
"At least, they are guarding the body" I said, placing more emphasis on body.
"Kiddo, no one is fucking me. I haven't had any dick since the last time. Why can't you understand that I don't want to share you?"
"You have no choice. What we had, according to you, was a game. That episode is over" I made to leave her but she held me again, too tightly on my shirt that anyone who saw the position would conclude we were lovers.
"Kiddo, I don't want to lose you, I want you more than ever. Please don't leave me" she pleaded.
"You're creating a scene. I have things to do. Let's talk about emotions later."
"What do you have to do now?" She asked, wiping her eyes with the back of her palms.
"A little clean up" I told her.
"Where exactly?"
"The garage. Those cars were bought with money made from the company I now operate and they can't be locked away as trashes. I have to put every one of them into good use."
"What? Steve? Do you know dad will not like what are about doing?" She said, her facial expression changing.
"About doing? Can't you hear the noise outside?" With that, she ran outside with a speed I only saw in her during her school sports time.
The cars were already lining up and riding out of the gate, while Lucia supervised. Before I joined them outside, Florence was standinf with her hands across her chest, looking like a defeated wrestler.
"Don't worry, the three cars you gave to your guards are recorded in dads debt to the company, he will pay when he returns" I announced.
"You're heartless Steve. How can place debts on your Father's account in his absence?" She asked.
"Sweet sis, like you stated yesterday, you run the house, I run the business." I told her, before joining the last car leaving the compound, with Lucia. I could tell she wasn't expecting things to go that way.
