39- His Flower
"Now how much are you needing?" Elijah asks after the two finish eating.
"I'm thinking close to one million, which will be paid back with fresh produce from Grevania." The girl says.
"You can't estimate flower. You have to get it as exact as possible. And you know exactly how to pay me back." Elijah purrs.
"Oh... I can't Elijah. I'm sorry. I'm in a relationship right now." She says quickly.
"Don't you remember our deal flower?" He growls.
"I do... fine! This is the last time." She says definitely.
"Good flower." He says standing up leading her to a room off the dining room kitchen combo. The girl hopes Connor never finds out about this...
After Elijah gets his payment, the two plan everything that is needed for the girls plans. After Elijah decides that a swim would be beneficial. The girl sits and just enjoys the sound of the water, that is until she feels extremely sick.
"Elijah... I'll be back..." she says before running to the bathroom.
When the girl runs away, a knock is heard from the front door. Chloe opens it only to see Connor and Hank, who ask to see Elijah. And soon they were back in the pool room.
The girl throws up everything she's eaten for the past 24 hours. The pain too much for her she ends up crying, for at least fifteen minutes.
She stands herself up and looks in the mirror. Her makeup completely messed up. Not caring as 'only' Elijah was there. She subconsciously straightens her skirt before walking back to Elijah.
"Hey Eli-" she says before seeing chloe kneeling in front of Connor who has a gun pointed to her head, with Elijah and Hank yelling at him.
"Am I interrupting something?" She asks.
"Yes! Now go away!" Elijah barks.
"Oh..." she says stepping back but hank disagrees.
"No, you can stay." Hank reassures.
"Oh..." she says stepping another step back.
"My flower, please leave or my endorsement will be withdrawn." Elijah threatens. The girl looks into Connors eyes, her eyes orange and full of fear.
She takes another step and falls into the pool.
