Bad Boy groaned in pain. I quickly disengaged from him

 

Me: are you okay? Does your tummy hurt?

 

He smiled

 

Bad Boy : I just wanna lie down

 

Me: please do..

 

I helped him to the bed and he laid down

 

Me: you have to take your drugs please

 

Bad Boy : pigs will fly before I talk them.

 

Me: why are you so hot headed?

 

Bad Boy : haha

 

Me: and you have to stop smoking and drinking

 

Bad Boy : I’ll think about that

 

I hit him on his tummy

 

Bad Boy : aaahhh

 

Me: sorry.. I’m sorry..

 

I soothed the spot and sighed

 

Me: you don’t love your life

 

Bad Boy : okay, I’ll stop smoking

 

Me: and drinking too

 

Bad Boy : I stopped drinking a long time ago. I only drink orange juice now

 

Me: that’s true

 

The door opened and Max walked in

 

Me: hello Max

 

Max: hi Rosa

 

Bad Boy : you came to see me being sick right?

 

Max laughed

 

Max: this is the best day ever. Finally, I get to see you on sick bed

 

Me: how is that a good thing?

 

Max: in all my years with him, I haven’t seen him sick even for one day. Makes me wonder if he’s immortal. But now my doubt is cleared

 

Me: hahahaha, I see

 

Bad Boy : baby, excuse us

 

Me: okay

 

I kissed him and left the room. I went to the living room and saw Leon speaking with some men

 

Me: excuse me

 

He waved them off and came to me

 

Me: please, how does Bad Boy get his cigarettes?

 

Leon: he has a store filled with them, about thirty cartons and each has 50 packets

 

Me: wow, and you all take them?

 

Leon: no, it’s for him only

 

Me: oh jeez.. Can you take me there?

 

Leon: sure, let’s go now

 

I followed him to the back of the house where he opened a store

 

Me: oh my goodness. Is smoking food?

 

Leon: it is to us

 

Me: you better stop smoking too

 

Leon: pigs will fly

 

Me: what’s with you guys and that pigs will fly

 

Leon: it’s a way of saying that it’s impossible for us to do something.

 

Me: which means that until pigs fly, you won’t do it

 

Leon: yes, and it’s impossible for pigs to fly

 

Me: I get it now

 

Leon: so why do you want to see this place

 

Me: dispose all these boxes and don’t take any of them for your own use

 

Leon: what? Why?

 

Me: because I don’t want Bad Boy to have access to them

 

Leon: but..

 

Me: will you burn them or should I do it?

 

He was quiet and staring at me

 

I sighed and walked out of the store. I took my phone and called the community garbage truckers. I gave them my address and soon, a truck came to the gate. I ordered the security guard to open the gate. The truck came in and I told some men to help in loading the boxes into the truck.

 

I stood there and watched them do the job. I made sure everything was inside the truck. Then I paid them to dispose it.

 

I went back upstairs to meet Bad Boy

 

Bad Boy : it’s good you did it yourself. You shouldn’t depend on Leon for everything

 

Me: you know about it?

 

Bad Boy : is there something that goes on here and I don’t know about?

 

I smiled and sat beside him

 

Bad Boy : I also told Leon not to do it

 

Me: how?

 

Bad Boy : I texted him

 

I chuckled and hugged him

 

Me: you’re so perfect

 

Bad Boy : I won’t want to believe that

 

Me: should I get you something to eat?

 

Bad Boy : just get me something to drink, I’m not hungry yet

 

Me: okay

 

I stood up and went downstairs, I got a full juice box and took it upstairs with two glasses. I filled the glasses in his room and he sat up and collected a glass from me

 

Bad Boy : come and seat here

 

He hit his palm on the space between his legs (on the bed)

 

I sat there and he cuddled me

 

My eyes caught sight of the bar in his room. He traced my gaze

 

Bad Boy : you want to dispose that too?

 

Me: they’re quite expensive, right?

 

Bad Boy : yep.

 

Me: I won’t dispose them, but I’ll count and mark them.

 

Bad Boy : haha, just in case I touch them?

 

I nodded and smiled

 

Later, Bad Boy went to the bathroom. I quickly took his drugs and the juice box. I went to the door of the bathroom and opened the juice. I poured the drugs in it and looked at the door, just to make sure he wasn’t seeing me.

 

I shook the juice to dissolve the drugs then I gently placed it on the table. I sat on the bed and waited for him to come out. When he did, I poured out another glass for him. I made sure he drank some before I left the room. I went to my room, showered and went downstairs.

 

It was already time for the contest, I still want it to hold so I’m going to fight, with or without Bad Boy

 

I went to the front of the house where they were already gathered. I came to the front

 

When I stood there, they all became quiet and were all staring at me

 

Me: good evening from me to The Vipers. Today, we’re going to have a contest. Anyone of you who desires to fight with me can step forward.

 

No one moved a finger. They were just staring at me.

 

Bad Boy : I think you omitted something. You’re The Vipers Girl, and you need ten loyal men who would be your personal men. Anyone who fights with skill will be chosen. Also, after me, it’s her now. So she’s your new boss. The empress to the emperor

 

I smirked and crossed my arms. Everyone had turned to look at him, he just came outside and he’s still standing on the facade

 

Bad Boy : so If you’re interested, stand up

 

They began to stand up, about fifteen men stood up.

 

They came to the front and lined up

 

Bad Boy : you have five minutes to fight with each of them

 

I nodded

 

The first person stepped up and the fighting began. I easily defeated him and smiled to myself

 

Me: this is going to be easy

 

Then the second person came, I thought he was going to be soft as the first man but I was wrong. I got the worst punch of my life. I then knew that I was not in a comedy show. I tightened my fist and began to fight like my whole life depended on it

 

The man was really strong but I was quick to find his weakness which is his neck. I gave him a blow on his neck and he staggered backwards and fell. The next man came forward, we fought and I defeated him. But I didn’t defeat the next man after him, he was a black man with dreadlocks. He beat me down

 

I’m definitely going to choose him in my team.

 

I kept fighting and fighting till it was over. I sighed and fell down then closed my eyes cause I was really exhausted

 

They began to clap and I sat up.

 

Bad Boy : that was a nice show. Now pick you men

 

Me: can we do that tomorrow morning? Please

 

I was already going out of breath

 

Bad Boy : you’re all dismissed. Leon, bring her inside

 

He went inside first before they began to disperse. Leon helped me up and we went inside together

 

Leon : your room?

 

Me: no, Bad Boy’s.

 

He sighed and helped me up the stairs. He left me at Bad Boy’s door. I knocked and he opened few minutes later

 

Bad Boy : in pain right?

 

Me: ahhh, my whole body hurts

 

He chuckled and helped me inside, I sat on the bed and he brought a blanket for me

 

Me: thanks

 

Bad Boy : I’ll get you some ice

 

He left the room and I cuddled up to be warm. He came back later with a tray containing food and some ice. He fed me and applied ice to the part that hurts me.

 

After that, we laid down and I slept off in his arms almost immediately

 

�Bad Boy �

 

It’s already two months since Rosa became the talk of the town. Everyone was talking about her, but she wasn’t doing bad things like I do. She was beating up bad guys, and donating money to poor people. At first I wasn’t happy with it, but I figured out that, that’s who she is.

 

And I love her that way.

 

Well, I’m going to Japan tomorrow with Leon and Eun Soo. I added him because he’s going to inject a blood-like substance into them. So when they’re injured, blood will come out and it will be impossible to know that it’s not me.

 

I went to Rosa’s room and opened it without knocking

 

Me: hi

 

Rosa: you’ll never learn how to knock

 

Me: it’s a good thing you know

 

She laughed and I hugged her

 

Me: I’ll be leaving tomorrow

 

Rosa: I know and tomorrow is just a few hours

 

Me: won’t you come with me

 

Rosa: no, I have to stay here and look things over. We both can’t leave

 

Me: okay, if you say so

 

She smiled and closed her closet

 

Me: can I spend the night here with you. Don’t ask me why?

 

Rosa: I wasn’t even gonna ask why?

 

I chuckled and sat on the bed

 

Me: can I get some orange juice

 

Rosa: we’ll have to go downstairs together then

 

Me: before I come back from Japan, make sure you get a fridge here and fill it with orange juice. I’m tired of always going downstairs

 

Rosa : hahaha, aye aye captain

 

She saluted, I laughed and followed her downstairs

 

�Leon �

 

Bad Boy was still hugging and placing kisses on Rosa’s face, all in the name of saying goodbye. I entered the car with Eun Soo

 

Eun Soo : those two are very much in love

 

Me: yeah

 

Eun Soo : you sound jealous

 

Me: I don’t have your time

 

He smirked and looked at them again. I sighed and looked away

 

I just hope Bad Boy doesn’t hurt Rosa in anyway in the future, if he does… I won’t hesitate to take his place

 

Finally, the good bye was over. Bad Boy entered his car and drove out, I started mine and followed him. We kept driving and arrived at the airport. We got into his plane and got ready for takeoff.

 

The plane kept flying for some hours which was more than the usual time to arrive at Japan

 

Me: Bad Boy, why are we still flying?

 

He didn’t answer, I stood up from my seat and went to his. He was looking really sick

 

When did he start getting plane sick?

 

Me: Bad Boy, are you okay?

 

Bad Boy : no, I don’t feel so good

 

Me: let me get you some water

 

I stood up and brought water for him, Eun Soo was sleeping and I didn’t want to bother him.

 

Soon Bad Boy too fell asleep, we kept flying for three more hours and then finally, I felt the plane descending. I quickly Sat down and waited for it to land fully. It was already evening and I smelt something fishy

 

Later, the door opened by itself and then armed men rushed inside and surrounded us

 

I was confused, Bad Boy woke up but Eun Soo was still sleeping

 

I looked at their faces and noticed they were from Red Light. I tapped Eun Soo and signalled to him that there was danger

 

Bad Boy stood up and they tried to rush him down. He began to beat them up, Eun Soo and I tried to beat the other men. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I looked down and saw that I was pierced with a knife. I looked at the hand that held the knife then I looked at the face

 

Me: Eun Soo?

 

He laughed

 

Eun Soo : sorry buddy, but I’m tired of you and your stupid Bad Boy. You guys are the worst, not knowing how to treat people but yourselves only. I went to the side where they truly need me

 

Bad Boy : I knew it, I knew I couldn’t trust you!

 

Eun Soo : or shut up! You’re no longer the boss here, I am.

 

He shot Bad Boy’s leg.

 

He groaned in pain and fell down on his knees

 

Eun Soo : who knew the Bad Boy could kneel down to someone like me?

 

Bad Boy : I’m not kneeling down to you

 

Eun Soo : break that mouth of his

 

The guy beside him punched his mouth and it busted his lips

 

Eun Soo: do you know you’ve been taking poison? Yes, I’ve been secretly putting poison into the food or drink you take. The other day, when you bled. Did you think it was truly your lungs that had problems? Didn’t you reason that it was the food you ate. Haha

 

Me : traitor. That’s what you are

 

Eun Soo : I know…. Now take them out boys

 

They dragged us out, I was still bleeding profusely and I felt like my life was draining out

 

Bad Boy : (whispering)  God, please protect my Rosa

 

I looked at him, even at the point of death, he didn’t forget his love for Rosa. I promise if I get out of this alive, I’ll protect her.

 

Because I know Bad Boy might not make it out alive. Ron really hates him

 

My blood dripped down my skin and I felt very thirsty. My eyes were closing and I knew I was going to black out anytime soon

 

�������

 

I opened my eyes and saw myself in a room with the walls made out of zinc. I was lying on the bare ground and I was so dirty. My wound was still fresh but the bleeding had already stopped. I sat up and looked beside me, the ground was mixed with dried blood.

 

Is this my blood?

 

The blood trailed up to a huge wooden box

 

I stood up with pains and opened the box. I gasped at the ugly sight I saw

 

It was Bad Boy, badly butchered with his hands ripped off

 

Me: no.. No

 

I knelt down and touched it, it was so cold

 

He’s dead

 

My eyes welled up with tears.

 

How would he have survived this torture?

 

How will I tell Rosa that her lover was butchered to death?

 

Me: no…. NOOOOOO!

 

I fell on the ground and hit my fist against it.

 

This can’t be happening

 

I stood up and saw Ron looking at me

 

I felt intense hatred for him. I wanted to ki*ll him with my bare hands

 

Ron: I know you feel really bad for your friend. But he deserved it, I’m going to spare you. You’ll leave this place now with his remains. I want everyone to believe that he’s truly dead and he wouldn’t come back. I already destroyed all his clones.

 

He turned to go but stopped

 

Ron: oh and please send my condolences to his girlfriend

 

He then walked away

 

I covered my face

 

Me: Rosa, I’m sorry. I wish I could protect him… But I couldn’t.

 

I broke down and began to cry because the pain I was feeling was just too intense
