HIDDEN BEAUTY

EPISODE 37

In an exclusive shopping mall in the heart of the city, Olivia sat idly scrolling through her phone while sipping on a cocktail. The day was so boring and annoying. Good thing it was coming to an end. She dialed her dad's number and waited impatiently for him to pickup.

“ Are you sure the Donovans are really broke? She asked immediately the line connected.

“ Chill Liv, not even an hello?"

“ Answer the dàmn question father. Are you sure they're really bankrupt?"

“ Alright if you insist. Of course they're really bankrupt, Donovan ran to me for assistance himself when it all started,then I pulled a few strings to make sure he never recovers. Why do you ask?"

“ Amy showed up in a Bugatti Veyron," Olivia murmured.

“ What!. How's that even possible? I made sure he didn't have any left for food.... what's he up to?."

“ Well I won't know that would I? Just find out how he did it and this time leave no stone unturned, I can't afford to go back to being under that bítch."

“ I'll do that, but for now I have things to attend to...

“ I don't care. Oh I need to upgrade my car too. I can't be riding something less expensive than Amy."

“ What! Your car's still in good condition Olivia, we just got you that it's..."

“ I don't care dad! Do me a favour and be useful for once. Urgh! "

“ Oliv...."

Beep! Beep!

Olivia hung up rolling her eyes and putting the phone away. Why was everyone so annoying she wondered out loud.

Beep! Beep! The phone lit up with an incoming message.

“ He's useful after all, she smiled,the car colour already chosen in her mind. She stretched a hand and picked up the phone but in place of a bank notification it was a text message from an unknown number. Her eyes darkened and she made to fling the phone against the wall when her eyes caught the content of the message.

“ She took the bait, she's on her way."
Aneallo.

She shot up from the seat, eyes glistening as she hastily typed a reply.

“ I'll be at your location shortly." Send the dresses to the Grayson's residence," she said to the attendant before leaving.

She moved with haste to the parking lot, half walking and half running she failed to notice the person in her path a few feet from her.

“ Ouch!" She yelled feeling the impact of her bum hitting the floor.

“ Are blind! Can't you.....

She froze and stared at the girl who stood before her. She was a splitting image of her mother. She would call her mother if she didn't look so young. She stared, till the girl turned around and entered a black Dodge. Only coming to her senses when the car was out of sight.

She Pulled herself off the floor and dusted her clothes with one hand, while she dialed her dad with the other hand. The calls kept going to voicemail so she dropped one explaining what she just saw.

Nothing was more important than the task at hand so she got into her car and drove of into the sunset.

1 HOUR AGO

Kiana sank back into the swivel chair exhausted from the day's activities. She had just finished making arrangements with the bodyguards she hired to crash Olivia's plans.

She picked up her phone and checked the school's blog. The pictures and videos of Amy pulling up in her new ride was everywhere reminding her of the terrible mistake she made because of a boy who won't care if she dropped déad the next second.

Her Instagram was even worse, she was under fire with many calling her out for letting go of Amy weeks ago. It was no longer news that she fired Amy because she went broke.

Knock. Knock. The sound of a guard at the door pulled her out of her thoughts.

The guard pushed open the door and entered when she gave the permission.

“ Everything is set boss, and he just sent the location, an private hotel famous for the notorious acts that goes on there."

“ Let's go, she rose up," took one final look at the office and walked out.

They rode for thirty minutes before pulling up in the garage of the hotel. Kiana stepped out first according to their plan, a syringe hidden in a thigh holster under her dress. She carried a bag containing fake contracts to avoid suspicion.

She used the elevator to the 9th floor then she took the stairs to the 10th floor so her guards would catch up.

She pretended to go through the contracts and rehearse an imaginary speech. From information provided, the man ran this place and if her calculations were correct he was watching her from the CCTV footage.

The hidden device beeped in her ears -a signal from her guards. She continued the journey to room 106 and with every step forward, her legs grew heavier with anxiety.

She stood facing it at last. And with a deep breath she knocked then pushed it open her eyes making contact with the greasy pot bellied man on the sofa.

He flashed a smile at her revealing his tobacco stained teeth.

“ Welcome my dear, you're even more breathtaking than she said " he laughed excitedly.

“ She said? Kiana asked like she had no clue. Who's she?."

“ Oh never mind, just the one who recommended you, Aneallo said hastily aware of his slip up. Here come seat." He tapped the space close to him on the sofa.

Kiana walked over and sat next to him while he poured her a drink from the bottle.

“ Have a drink my dear," and let's get down to business he said and handed her the spiked drink.

Kiana brought the glass to her lips and pretended to take a sip making him smile.

“ Nice drink huh? He smiled when she put down the glass. Now we wait for sometime to really savor the drink before getting down to real business he drawled shifting closer and drawing circles on Kiana's thigh.

“ I know Olivia sent you." Kiana's words made him freeze.

“ W..w..what?."

“ I believe you're not deaf. Lure her with an offer, ràpe her and send videos for blackmail. Easy right?." Kiana asked pacing the room.

Aneallo's eyes grew bigger than their normal size. What have he gotten himself into.

“ You... you didn't drink it?

“ You mean your spiked drink? Kiana laughed making him recoil on the sofa. I'm not stupid."

“ S..she..knew?." Then why did she come?. Well he's not gonna ask that,he just needs to make sure this girl doesn't leave her, he won't mind kílling her to keep his secret. He got up and jumped on her but she was faster.

He felt something prick him then a sharp pain in his neck and something rushing through his vein.

“ Why.. have.. you.. come..here? What is your plan?." He groaned still trying to get a hold of her but his body betrayed him.

“ What have you done to me?, what did you inject me with!" He yelled his voice barely audible.

Kiana smiled and opened the door letting her guards in. Aneallo shifted back fearfully, whatever this girl planned to do was not going to be nice.

“ Let me go! It wasn't me! Please let me go! It was Olivia's plan. I swear with my life." He cried when he saw the instruments of torture the men brought out.

“ I know Olivia sent you," Kiana crouched down in front of him. You're gonna call her here and you're gonna do whatever you planned for me to her, then you're gonna send me the video. I might consider sparing your life after that," Kiana said before standing.

“ Let's go guys," she snapped two fingers and the men stood up and followed her out. “ And... she paused at the door, make sure to feed her with that, she pointed at the untouched wine on the table. I don't want my video to be ruined by her thrashing." She closed the door after that.
