1 Silver and Red (2/2)
”To be honest, Collins, I always wondered why you surrendered the Boss position and allowed me to be the Godmother.”
”Because your eyes were threatening to kill me if I didn't capitulate the position.” Collins joked.
Ezlynn chuckled and nodded, then stood on her toes to level his tall height. She leaned in her small, cherry lips on his neck and kissed it.
”I'm hungry.” Ezlynn whispered, then added quickly, ”Hungry for food, I mean.”
”Don't chew me up, please.” Collins laughed.
With their astonishing agility and speed, they'd already arrived at Ezlynn's luxury villa. It was an opulent, spacious building implanted in the midst of Chicago's gloomy atmosphere, aloof from the dense buildings. Ezlynn opened the atramentous gate that surrounded her villa with her keys from the loose pocket of her hoodie. Collins followed behind her, for they both concurred that it was for their safety and the gang to live together.
Her and his villa was classical, made out of limestones. Its grandiose structure overshadowed the antique front garden with impeccably symmetrical boxwood and other garden plants. 'A $45 million worth of beauty,' the real estate agent had said. Ezlynn's cunning manner in keeping her ambivalence in being an influential Godmother whose salary was over $9 million and a fresh 18 whose parents had left her a ton of inheritance had enabled her to partially live like a normal girl and purchase such a luxury villa. No one had doubted her when an 18-year-old girl slammed in the prime real estate of Chicago and inquired the $45 million villa.
Collins and Ezlynn opened the French doors of the villa and trudged in.
”I'm taking a shower in the master bath.”
”I'll take one in the guest's.” Collins sighed. They both were fatigued, despite their nocturnal routines as a Werewolf.
Ezlynn nodded and silently walked up the sumptuous staircase and into the master bath. As she turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up warm enough, she browsed through her messages on her phone.
”42 messages unread.” it read.
Ezlynn clicked on the Messages app, manifesting all 42 from Embry, who was in the third-highest stint after herself and Collins.
The first message read,
”How r u doing with that Venandi? Irving and Gwen said that he was pretty challenging to defeat so they wanted u 2 deal with him.”
The second one read,
”We just killed a Venandi. His organs were worth $1 million and we sold it for a markup of 20%.”
It was how Ezlynn and her gang made a profit, by selling the organs of the Venandis to the black market.
Ezlynn scrolled through all of the messages that were sent over a period of two days sheepishly. The water was still flowing out of the shower, warm enough for her, but she disregarded it and proceeded to check the messages. Then, her swiftness in reading terminated on the 10th one,
”Boss, we have a new member.”
