Brites' Revenge - Mariana Mendoza (best non fiction books to read .TXT) 📗

As soon as I froze, my king came towards me. I didn’t do anything. I was frightened of who this person was.
“ Shadow.” I whispered into the phone.
“ Still remember me, baby?” he chuckled through the phone.
My knees were getting weak from the fright and anger and pain that was mixing inside me. The only thing that helped me from falling was Caden’s taught abs and his arms wrapping around me.
I was comforted but only slightly. I didn’t know what to do so I asked the most obvious question.
“ What do you want.” I asked, feeling rod of myself that my voice didn’t break.
Caden must have thought so too because he kissed my neck. I grabbed one of his hands and squeezed it as hard as I could.
“ Well isn’t it obvious, baby?” he asked, “ I want you back. I’m sorry that I raped you at such an early age but I couldn’t hold myself. Hey, at least I didn’t cheat on you.”
He said it as if I was going to give him props for it. Fuck that.
“ Mothafucka, the next time I ever see you, I’mma fuck you up. So bad that you’ll regret ever messing with me.” I threatened him.
“ Aww, isn’t that cute? You’re acting as if you’ll ever get the chance.” he said in a babyish voice. I didn’t like it one tiny bit. I really wanted to kick his raping ass now.
My anger began to take over my fear.
Caden let of me, probably because he knew when I got angry, it was never a good idea to be close to me. I began to pace.
“ Oh, trust me, I’ll find your white skinny ass and I’m going to put my foot up your ass so hard that you’ll never be able to use that stick of a dick of yours ever again. But then, you won’t have to because when I find you, I will give you a slow painful death.” I growled at him.
And what did this big idiotic dickhead do?
He laughed. He actually laughed in my ear. Now, I was pissed off.
“ I’ll call you again, baby. But next time, I’ll make you listen to the screams of my next victim.” he said and hug up.
My anger finally boiled over. I screamed in rage and threw my phone and when it hit the wall, it exploded into tiny little pieces of plastic. I began to pace back and forward.
“ That lil’ bitch is gonna pay. I’mma kill him, even if its the last thing I do. Oh, when I find him I’mma make that mothafucka scream so loud that he’ll burst out his own eardrums. I’mm whoop he ass to kin’dom come…”
“ Uh, sweetheart?” I heard the King say. I didn’t listen.
“ I should’a known he was a bastard but no-o, I was too stupid to notice. But this time I’mma make him pay. I’mma fuck him up. I’mma grab a wire and fill it up with my fire and whip him so hard, he’ll think we were back in those days where slaves were whooped….”
“ Babe” Caden said again.
“ Oh, I’m goin’ make that sonovabitch pay so much that he’ll regret for ever fuckin’ with …”
“ Brites!” Caden finally yelled.
I stopped pacing and turned to him slowly. He looked at me, both angry and worried.
“ We have to go see that damn snakehead, remember?”
Oh, yeah.
I was about to walk out the door when my boyfriend stopped me again.
“ Honey, your magic is all around you. Its coming out of your pores and your skin turned scaly.” he said.
I looked down and noticed that my magic was around me, swirling around fast as if I was in the middle of a tornado. And my skin was scaly. He must have noticed it because mu skin and clothed looked weird.
I let my anger fizzle out with a deep breath out. I breathed in and out slowly until I was finally calm.
“ Better?” he asked.
I stared at him as if I was going to punch him for asking such a stupid question. He got it loud and clear. I was glad I didn’t have to spell it out for him.
“ Right, well, thats fine for now. Lets go before the bastard stands us up.
Wasn’t it the other way round?

We got to my restaurant as fast as we could. Ten minutes and we were there. I jumped out fast. I was still trying to calm down but by the time we got there, I was almost calm. Calm enough to keep my true powers hidden.
We walked in and found Malik in the last table on the far corner. He saw me and stood up quickly. I moved my head towards my office, he nodded, and we went.
“ What took you so long?” he asked me.
I was still seething from just a few moments ago so when he asked me, I snapped.
“ Shut the fuck up, nasty ass mother fucking cop, you have better be glad that I even showed up tonight.”
He stood quiet, stunned. Yeah, that what I was going for but not from him. I went in and heard my man whisper something to him.
“ She’s pissed off so be cautious of her. She can blow up any second.” he said.
I guess he wanted me to hear because I calmed down again.
“ What happened?” he asked me, softly.
I sat down on my comfy chair before I answered him.
“ That damn ass bastard called me the second you hung up.” I said.
That got him to sit straight.
“ What did he say?” he asked.
“ Told her that he’ll call her again and make her listen to his next victim’s screams while he raped her.” Caden said.
“ How long did the phone call last?” Malik asked me again.
“ About half a minute.” I said.
“ Okay, we’ll be monitoring your phone calls, if it’s alright with you.” Malik began.
I stood up on that. My anger came back to me.
“ Oh, hell no, pal. You aren’t going to see who calls me and if you try then I’ll go down there and beat you senseless. You got me?”
Malik looked frustrated. Yup, that’s me, frustrating.
“ Then how will we know when he calls you again?” he asked me.
“ Look, Malik, sure, I’ll help you in any way I can but I cross the line when it comes to my privacy. I’ll find a way to track ohm so don’t worry.” I told him.
He crossed his arms, doubting of what I had said. “ And how’ll you track him? Will you tell us? When will this be done?” he asked.
“ Watch your tone, Malik, you’re talking to my girlfriend.” Caden growled at the snake king.
“ Hey, I’m just doing my job here.” he hissed. I could see that his eyes were slowly turning into snake slits and glowing a little bright.
“ See, I’m part of a gang, the most dangerous and infamous gang in Cali. I’m the second in command and I the only reason I’m still free is because no cop has found out my plans or my fights. Now, say I let you hear my calls. You’ll easily know wherever I am and who I talk to and what I do. I can’t have that. I’d kill myself before giving away my family. So, hella no, I’ll not let you abuse my privacy.” I said.
“ Fine, you find a way, and when you find him, call me. I also want to ask you a favor.” he said.
Oh? I would do any favor he asked only if I could get a chance to kiss those luscious looking… wait, where did that come from?
“ What?” I asked, crossing my arms and trying not to look like I was crushing on him. Especially in front of my boss/boyfriend.
“ Is it okay if or when we find another one of his victims, which I hope won’t happen, you can come and see? I would like your opinion in this investigation.” he said.
My mouth shot down to the floor. I couldn’t believe of what he just said.
“ Why?” I asked.
“ Yeah, Malik, why?” King asked him, crossing his arms and looking almost lethal. I say almost because when he wanted to be lethal, he could shoot daggers and fire through his eyes. So far, he was only shooting lasers.
Malik turned to look at my boyfriend.
“ Because since she’s beaten many people she knows what to look for. I would ask you but I don’t want to disturb the King. Besides, Razor wants to catch this son of a bitch so she’ll do better, no offense.” he said.
Ouch, I couldn’t believe he actually dared to insult him. He wasn’t the king of my gang for nothing. I didn’t want to get in the middle of this but I knew that if I didn’t stop it they would eat each other up.
“ Okay, okay, snake king, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I’ll help you but I expect respect whenever one of your little cop friends are there and when I see someone I know, you better play along that you’re trying to catch me. You’ll ruin my reputation with your damn request. Got it?” I asked him.
He nodded, his eyes brightened a bit. I didn’t want to know how his scent smelled. Too bad I found out because when I turned my gaze to Caden, he had stiffened with anger. I glared at him, trying to send send him a message.
Caden, if you lay a hand on him I swear I’ll kick yo ass. Please don’t make me.
What the hell, are you defending him, Brites?

Caden’s eyebrows frowned and I could see a hint of his fangs peeking out. His jaw was locked tight and I knew that if I said the wrong thing, he would snap.
No, you idiot, I ain’t denfendin’ no one. He a cop, Caden, so if you kill him or beat him up, the damn cops will finally get a chance to catch you. I don’t want that.
I blushed a little. I looked back at Malik so I didn’t have to see the King’s reaction. Malik’s eyebrow went up, amused. I glared at him.
“ Are we done here, officer?” I asked him.
He gave me a quick smile and stood up. I didn’t like the smile; it was promising something that I was tempting me, hard. Too bad I wasn’t as stupid as I was when I was a kid.
“ Yes, we’re done,” he turned to Caden and stuck his hand out, saying, “ I apologize for angering you a minute ago. I didn’t want to offend you in your territory.”
