Chapter 199: All behind bars

Chapter 199: All behind bars
“ Okayyy…I think..I might.. be in trouble.” Antonio mumbled to himself as he watched Eloise storm into the house.

When she pushed the door open and slammed it, he knew for sure he was done for.

“ Hey, baby.” He greeted her, trying to sound lovely in the hope it would soften her anger.

“ You're so dead.” She gritted her teeth as she threw her purse at him.

“ Ou, hey babe, calm down.”

“ Calm down? Did you say calm down?” She yelled, dashed towards the kitchen, and grabbed a frying pan.

Antonio stood behind the couch, looking scared and confused about what to do. He raised his two hands up.

“Let's talk about this, why are you upset?”

“ Why am I upset? Woahhhhh, come here.” She beckoned him.

“ hm mm.” He shook his head.

“ No come here and let me show you exactly why I'm pissed.” She jumped onto the couch and went after him.

“ Holy shit!” He shouted. He never knew she had the skill of jumping until that moment. He tried to dodge the hit but the pan landed right at his back.

“ Fuck! That was painful.” He ran, holding his back and hiding behind another couch. “ Babe that was really painful.”

“ It was supposed to be painful.” She glared, hinting she's not done with him.

“ Baby, I'm sorry.”

“ Sorry?” Her voice cracked. Tears began gathering in her eyes. “ Do you have idea how scared I was? how it felt like the world was suffocating in a second.” She cried. “ Why was there news about your death? Why was there a clip of him getting arrested with you being rushed into the ambulance?”

The sight of her tears made Antonio's shoulders slump. His eyes softened as he looked at her cry.

“ I'm sorry.” He apologized. “ I didn't mean to scare you, I thought you'd still be at the meeting.”

“ That doesn't justify anything.”

He took steps closer to her. “ I should've carried you along with my plan, I wanted to surprise you that I did it the legal way like you've wanted.”

She glared up at him, but the cuteness of his soft, guilty face softened her heart, but she maintained her tightened lips.

“ You never told me about your plans. We're partners; I don't do things without letting you know about it.”

“ Yes, I know that.”

“ So stop surprising me, I don't like this sort of surprises.”

“ Umm…I think I've done something else as a surprise too?” He sealed his teeth against each other.

Eloise’s shoulder weakened. The pan slipped out of her hold. “ What else did you do?”

“ Er..why don't we just head to the police station, you'll see it there.”

She eyed him suspiciously. “ Is it something you can't tell me now?”

“ I think it'll be better if you see it with your eyes.”

“ Okay.” She accepted and together they head out.

Ghost was driving them out when Tamara saw their car exiting the building, she saw Eloise inside and immediately stopped the taxi man that just dropped her off.

“ Follow them please.” She pleaded, assuring that she would pay before the driver accepted.



“ How were you able to get Shawn arrested?” Eloise asked as they approached the station. “ What exactly happened? And what's with that news?”

“ I told you we need to get him in the act to be able to put him in jail.”

“ Yeah?”

“ So I came up with a plan with Zade and Oliver.” Antonio continues. “ Since the plane plan failed, I know he'll make another attempt, so I told Zade to tell him that we're cool and close again. Telling him that will make him want to use Zade to get me.”

He paused briefly and continued. “ And he did that, he believes he's using Zade, and we set him up. The news is to make the crime more legit, but there'll be another news of how I survived the attack, but Shawn will still be prosecuted for multiple attempted murders cause we got him to confess to all his crimes.”

Eloise shook her head feeling impressed. “ You made him dance to your tune.”

“ He dug his enemy grave too deep, that's why.” He smirked.

Just then, the car arrived at the station.

“ He's going to rot in jail.” Eloise chuckled as she got out of the car.

Antonio smiled. He knew deep down he wasn't just sending them to prison. He has men in prison, waiting patiently to make prison hell for Shawn and Dayse.

Eloise kept wondering what it was that Antonio wanted to show her. She kept her mouth sealed as one of the police led them to the cell. Where her eyes fell on her.

The one who murdered her family.

Dayse.

She fell waves of feelings rushed over her. Her leg remained glued to the ground as their eyes met.

“ Elly,” Dayse called, rushing to the gate and grabbing the steel. “ Elly.”

Eloise turned to look at Antonio. Tears gathered in her eyes.

“ I want the next time you ever see her, to be behind bars. I had to first get rid of Shawn, who I knew could help her.” Antonio said.

Eloise’s lips shivered. She balled her fist as she fought back the tears that threatened to fall.

Seeing Dayse in jail made her realize how much she'd wanted this.

How badly she wants her to pay for everything.

How it torments her day and night that she's still walking freely after what she did to her.

“ Open the gate.” She said.

Antonio glanced at the police and gave him a short nod of approval.

Eloise’s eyes did not move away from Dayse as they unlocked the gate and opened it.

She watched her shiver as she stepped into the cell.

“ I'm sorry..”

Slap!

The thunderous slap landed across her cheek before she could finish her apology.

Eloise’s hand trembled as she felt her body getting consumed with rage.

“ You ruined my family.” She said, her tone wrapped with venom. “ You... murdered my family... and dare smile at my face.”

Dayse couldn't bring herself to look back at her, she kept her head low, still holding her cheek that stings.

“ You don't deserve to even be alive.”

Tamara got there just to hear Eloise say that.

“ Elly,” She called, panting as she
looked from Eloise to her mother.

Eloise ignored Tamara's call and said to Dayse instead.

“ The longer I remain in your presence, the stronger my urge to cause you pain, cause I've not started.”
