8 She literally makes the entire office comes to a standstill

Susan POV

To say that I understand what King really wants is an understatement, I have never defaulted in paying my dues, am still grateful for his support, but I can't stand being pushed around. Moving up and down in my office, after the messenger from King has left, I knew I must stop whatever thing he was planning.

This nonsense must stop, damn I have tolerated his shit for the past six years, that is long enough.

I met King Andre on the streets of New York, after one of those fights back in the days, he approached me and gave me a proposal, I took it. I just wanted off the street and some good money to start, he was handed.

We tried dating, but he is as stubborn as I am so it didn't work.

I can't be submissive to any man, lose my self respect and cry like shit when he walks out, no I can't  stand that bullshit. 

My own mother gave me the shock of my life when she abandoned her only child, neglected her and even abuse her because of one stupid piece of shit called a husband.

Turning on my bed and thinking on what do: the bed side clock is 2:50 am and am still wake, trying to dissolve what to do with the king of drugs for the entire American continent.

It's illegal right, but King has every damn law enforcement under his payroll, so reporting him is making my case worst.

I better take up this challenge, am never one to fear a man, let's settle this before it gets bigger.

The alarm on the bedside rang out, I know it's time to wake up, yet I was awake till 3am.

Hmmmm, I better rush downtown to meet King. Dressing in a black Jean, a hood and sneakers, I slipped out of my house, with small cash to board a bus and my cellphone.

I know I can take care of myself, I don't need to worry about any of my employees knowing more than they are supposed to.

I stood in front of one heavily guarded company, whose physical features looks like a house made with gold. Hope your imagination can do justice to the building in front of me.

At the entrance to the building, it was heavily guarded with almost 20 armed guards, it's more like walking into the Lions den.

At the gate, I removed my hood, and the guard was like: better run along little woman, I smiled and said I am Darkness.

They others gasped, while he opened the gate. I walked straight up the stairs to King's private apartment. I nodded to the guard and he opened the door for me.

Sitting on the arm chair was King, smoking from his pipe and banging a girl.

Hello boss, I smiled and took a sit.

Immediately, the girl was discharged.

King looked over at me, walked to where I was, smelling like shit, gush I can't believe I once used to be his fuck mate.

Darkness you fuckenly owe me two million dollars.

King shouted with venom in his voice.

His fist close to my face, but I think he knew than to try that. I got up to face him, already boiling with anger, I shouted: what for King???

I paid dues for last month, and I don't fuckenly owe anyone. Not you, not anyone I  screamed back.

Oh oh oh oh oh, the tiny bird has a voice. You better don't try my bad side, you won't like it.

And am sure we have come a long way, don't make me unleash the vultures on you, the will feed on your carcass. He roared.

You are dismissed.

I got up and walked out, am sure no other person under that roof has ever talked back at King, because the look they all gave me, I knew they all heard the shouting.

Walking towards the park, I sat down on a bench and wonder how my life has reached this point.

I might be a strong woman, I work harder than most men, but give me a break, sometimes I also do break down.

Shaking my head and wondering how I  ended up in this big mess.

Letting the tears roll freely from her eyes, I remembered that faithful afternoon, at about 4pm when Mr Felix my dad came back home with his girlfriend to inform his wife that he was tired of all of these stress called marriage, that all he needed was a divorce, not even a shared custody for his daughter.

In his word

" I am tired of this useless home, useless wife and a  good for nothing daughter".

That was the beginning of all this mess.
