πΈThe JailBird:
πΈ(Female β’ In β’ Disguise)πΈ
Adeline’s mouth widened, and her eyes joined the exercise when Madden hit Poe’s head on the second segment.
Her blood splashed on Madden’s face, staining his hand with colour.
The sound of glasses crashing rented the room as he broke the third and fourth one with her head again.
Poe’s blood formed a pool at her feet, and the sound of her cries are becoming muffled and low as he broke the fifth and sixth one with her head.
His face is devoid of any inhibition right now, and it’s stained with more blood, making him look like a vampire hunting for blood.
He looks like a beast experiencing bloodlust, and the lust is nowhere near satisfied.
He looked back at Adeline who’s staring at the scene speechlessly, and when their eyes met, she could swear that she saw the devil inside his eyes.
Face-to-face. For real.
She stood still, glancing at his stained hand, stained face, stained shoes, broken mirrors, Poe’s bloody face and clothes, her bloody head!
She’s gonna die.
Madden broke their eye contact and finished the breaking ritual, slamming Poe’s head on the remaining two segments.
Poe couldn’t even cry anymore, there’s barely any life in her as Madden dragged her out of the room.
Adeline quickly wrapped her chest bandage and wore the provided clothes, then she rushed out of the manor to meet Madden outside.
He’s standing at the mountain edge right now, his blood-stained face freezing in the cold morning air.
Adeline couldn’t blink as she stared at him, realizing what he’s about to do.
She was too stunned, too awed to speak till Madden really did what she suspected.
He let go of Poe’s body, and it rolled down the mountain.
Adeline froze cos Madden turned around and started walking back into the manor.
“You’ll start work with Igor tomorrow, and like I said, you don’t have a choice” he said as he walked past her.
She quickly grabbed his arm, holding on to it as she blocked him in the front.
“No. Please. Don’t send me to Igor” she shook her head.
“I’m not going to work for him”
Madden looked down at the arm she’s holding, and she slowly let it go.
“There’s a plan. You only have to play along during the trip tomorrow” he said, his bloody face making his aura more sinister, and his voice darker.
“I’ll do anything, but then my hair… I need an haircut and I don’t know any saloon outside. I don’t want to ask Loud or Jinx, to avoid suspicions” she said.
“Drive out of the compound at 6, stop the car at the base of a teak tree one kilometer away from the gate” he replied curtly and entered the manor, shutting the door heavily.
Adeline stared at the door for what looks like forever before remembering Poe.
She quickly ran down the mountain, and at the same time, she saw Loud and Jinx coming.
“Michael!” Jinx gasped in shock.
“FΓ»ck! He’s alive!” Loud’s face lit up as he rushed to her.
Adeline already widened her arms cos it’s sure he’s gonna hug her, and he really did.
Loud gathered her in a tight hug, almost snatching her breaths.
“I’m glad you made it! How did it happen? We were on our way to go beg Death on your behalf again” He said when he finally broke it.
“Poe injected me with a poison at the basement, but Master saved me. He brought me to the clinic and treated me, then he brought me here to heal properly” Adeline explained.
“So Death broke into Igor’s clinic last night because of you?” Loud said surprisingly.
“And Poe? Darn, I wonder what got into her these days” Jinx muttered, but then they heard a faint groan from the opposite side of where they’re standing.
After exchanging glances, they ran there together only to meet Poe’s disfigured body.
She had rolled down the mountain, and her skin peeled so much, together with her unrecognizable forehead.
Right now, her body is covered in blood, and she’s jerking, pouring out blood from her mouth at intervals.
“What the fΓ»ck!” Jinx gasped, rushing to kneel beside her body.
“Poe! Poe? Poe!” She raised her head to her laps, but Poe just continued gasping, all life lost in her eyes.
“Actually…she came to the manor to attack me again, so master… Did this to her” Adeline said.
“I damn knew it, and she deserves it” Loud said without any care.
“No don’t talk like that Loud. I can’t lose her” Jinx replied.
“But she could have killed Micheal!” Loud said sternly.
“I know I know… But she’s like a sister just like Nikolai was like a brother to you…
“Don’t! Don’t even compare her to Niko. Nikolai wasn’t heatless” Loud spat angrily.
Adeline couldn’t even add anything. She’s in-between.
A part of her wants Poe to die, but the other part wants her to live, but if she lives, her secret is not safe.
Or maybe she’d handle her this time.
Maybe if Poe survives, she’d kill her with her own hands.
She snapped out of her thoughts to see Loud and Jinx carrying Poe already.
They left the forest, and immediately they returned into the compound, the shocks in the faces of everyone was raw.
They all expected Michael’s body, but it’s Poe’s body instead.
* That’s a crazy plot twist right there
* How the hell is Micheal still alive?
* Heard Death got an order from the house of Orlovs to keep him alive.
* Since when did Death started listening to orders?
Adeline’s eyes caught Kimberly in the crowd, and Kimberly smiled in relief, asking with her eyes if she’s ok.
Adeline replied with her eyes too that she’s fine before they went out of sight.
They head to the clinic, and luckily, they met Igor with the nurses at the reception.
“Did he take out his anger on her? How unlucky” Igor mocked, looking at Poe’s bloodied unconscious body.
“I’d have left her to die like Madden wants, but it’s my hobby to go against him, so she’s fortunate. Take her to that ward” he pointed.
Loud and Jinx took her there, and the nurses began trying to bring her back, using the defibrillators excessively.
Igor was wearing his gloves to go in when he nearly collided with Adeline by the door, and he smiled intentionally.
“You should thank me, motherfΓ»cker. I requested father to order Madden to spare you. Otherwise, you’d have been dead by now. That bastard never spares people like you” he said.
“And you think I’m happy with that? Dying is better than having to work with you” Adeline replied defiantly.
Loud and Jinx gasped, and Igor grabbed Adeline roughly by the neck, angling her face up so his eyes stared down at her.
“I’ll gladly give you the death you want, but only after using you to my satisfaction. While at it, you should prepare for tomorrow’s trip” he said and roughly let go of her again.
Adeline’s neck almost snapped at the roughness, then he entered the ward and the door closed.
“You’re gonna be working with Igor now? How come?” Loud said with wide eyes.
“Obviously, master doesn’t want me anymore. Slapping him was senseless, I know” Adeline replied.
“But Death took you into this clan himself, and he was so adamant about it. Why would he easily let you go to Igor? Doesn’t add up” Jinx wondered.
Adeline was silent, thinking of Madden’s words…
“THERE’S A PLAN, YOU ONLY HAVE TO PLAY ALONG AT THE TRIP TOMORROW”
And she can’t wait for it.
She’d happily kill Igor for Madden if there’s any need for it.
Madden Orlov is the only one she’ll ever recognize as her boss.

HOUSE OR ORLOVS, KLARA’S ROOM*
The room exuded opulence, with velvet drapes, dark wood paneling and plush carpets.
A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a kaleidoscope of colour across the room and the lavish furnishings.
Klara stood unmoved in the middle of the small universe, her eyes roaming around the room.
A Glock 19 stood on the mahogany desk, a reminder of her willingness to do whatever it takes, and several picture frames hung around the wall.
Most of the pictures are of her and her two babies… Maya and Madden.
But the only different one is the one she stood with a man whose right hand held her waist with a big smile on his lively face.
She’s holding that picture right now, staring at the man’s face with a sad smile on her drawn face.
The man… Ivan Smirnov is her late husband. The real father or Madden and Maya.
Her mind went back immediately, to the time of his death.
FLASHBACK, YEARS AGO*
It’s a sad day for everyone in the organization as it’s the burial of Ivan Smirnov, The Pakhan.
Ivan has only spent one month as The Pakhan before his death, and that made his reign the shortest.
He didn’t die ordinarily though. He was poisoned by a female in a hotel, and the female escaped totally till now. No one knows who.
He was found nakedly on the hotel bed, and everyone concluded he deserved it since he went ahead to cheat despite the fact that he had Klara.
The organization never takes cheating lightly with the leaders, and for that fact, he didn’t die with dignity.
Different mouths were running at the burial, and the amount of people gossiping are more than the people consoling Klara.
* I thought he was noble, but cheating is too low of Ivan.
* Poor man didn’t get to enjoy the leadership position. Pity.
* So who becomes the next Pakhan?
* Isn’t it obvious? It’s Erik.
It’s drizzling, so everyone has black umbrella over their heads, matching their black suits and dresses and painting a more sorrowful font.
Klara stood beside the grave, clad in black while holding the kids to her sides.
Ten year old Maya and six year old Madden, both clad in black, too.
A little tear came out of Maya’s eyes, but as for Madden, he looks like he’s bored out of his mind as he stared at the grave.
There’s no pain no sorrow or whatever in his features.
He looks like a child borne into hell, he looks too dark for the brightness of the day.
No pity in his eyes for Klara too, he’s just desolate.
The drizzle turned to an heavy rain in no time, and the umbrellas became insufficient to cover, so everyone began leaving the burial.
The crowd thinned till it’s only Klara and her kids left.
Klara’s loud cries rented the graveyard, she couldn’t stop the downpour of tears as the rain beat her and the kids.
She knows, deep down in her heart that Ivan didn’t cheat.
Ivan would never cheat on her, it was a set-up, but how would she prove that when there’s no evidence?
A new presence suddenly joined them, covering her and the kids with a new umbrella.
Klara didn’t bother to look up, but the kids did, and their eyes met with Erik’s own.
Erik was Ivan’s best friend.
“You all have me, rely on me from now on. Yoor crosses are mine to carry now” Erik said.
BACK TO THE PRESENT*
“Your name isn’t forgotten, Ivan. Your kids will start bearing your surname Smirnov again, just give me a little more time to dominate” Klara sighed and dropped the picture.
She squatted in front of the mahogany table and opened a safe, bringing out a small golden gourd.
She stood, raising it up to check the poison fermentation status.
“Almost done. Almost” she muttered.
*
3RD RESIDENTIAL WING, TWO HOURS LATER*
Adeline and Loud returned from the clinic just now, together with Jinx.
Jinx followed them here, and while the other two fell on their individual beds, she fell on Nikolai’s bed.
“I can’t believe Poe is in coma” she sighed.
“You expect her to stay ordinarily unconscious? She broke eight mirror segments with her head and rolled down the fuΓ§king mountain. It’s a miracle she didn’t die” Loud replied.
“Was about to say that” Adeline added, sitting up in her bed.
“Should I just move in here with you guys pending the time she’ll wake up?” Jinx sat up too.
“Too late, a replacement has been sent here for Nikolai” Loud replied.
“Who?” Adeline and Jinx asked in chorus.
As if planned, Malik came into the room immediately with a big box containing his things.
“Malik?” Adeline scoffed.
“Surprised?” Malik smiled tauntingly, walking to Nikolai’s bed.
Jinx stood from it, and Malik was about to settle down when Loud crossed over, falling heavily on the bed.
“You can take my bed, I’m not letting you have Nikolai’s bed” he said.
Malik snickered, but then he moved to Loud’s corner.
Adeline stood with Jinx as the two did the new shuffling arrangements which was done within ten minutes.
“Still can’t believe this” Adeline said, looking at Malik hatefully.
“Me too” Jinx muttered, hateful scowl on her face too.
“Let’s get breakfast” Loud said after he was done.
He left the room with Adeline and Jinx, and Malik looked around the room with a scowl.
“I’ll sure have a good time tormenting you here, Micheal” he smiled.
