Chapter 21: No Regrets
She was furious, completely furious. She stormed down the sidewalk looking for the particular alley way.
I've given him the money and he still isn't ready yet? I'm going to kill him!
Victoria turned and briskly walked down the alley, this time she didn't bother to knock. She instead kicked the door down with her left heel and walked in, her anger flowing behind her. She approached Kyle and grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?"
Kyle remained calm, he knew Victoria was impatient and short-tempered.
"I'VE GIVEN YOU THE MONEY AND IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS!"
"Cool it sweetie, we're ready."
Victoria's anger quickly changed into a grin. She lowered Kyle to the ground and regained her composure.
"Well then, do it. NOW!"
Kyle and his men scrambled to get their things together and threw them in the huge truck, then they all piled in.
"Where will they be?"
"You know Roth's Bookshop?"
Kyle thought for a moment and nodded.
"Well Richard will drop her off about a block away, when she comes walking down the sidewalk you grab her got it?"
"Got it."
"Now go."
The truck flew off into the street and gone in a flash. Victoria smiled and reapplied her lipstick and rubbed her lips together. She then straightened out her black dress and walked out into the sunlight.
Yes everything is going according to plan.
-
The wind rushed through my hair as Richard and I flew through the streets on his motorcycle. He came to a stop and parked by the sidewalk. I hopped off and handed Richard his helmet.
"Bye."
He grabbed my arm and he pulled me into another one of those magical kisses.
"Bye."
A dream look overtook my face as I slowly made my way up the street. As I neared the apartment, I had this strange feeling that someone was watching me. I turned and just saw people walking along.
Get it together Kori.
I kept on walking and didn't notice what was going on behind me. Suddenly I felt strong arms grab me. I turned to see two unfamiliar faces, dragging me to their truck.
"HELP! HELP! RICHARD!"
Luckily Richard hadn't left yet and he was already running towards me.
"Let her go!"
The threw me into the truck where other men were and they closed the door and the truck started to move.
-
"KORI!"
I ran, but the truck was much faster than I was. I ran back to my motorcycle and flipped my phone up and called Victor.
-
RING RING RING
"Yo this is Vic?"
"Victor!"
Victor's face became worried because he could hear the stress in Richard's voice.
"Rich, what's wrong?"
Everyone else gathered around.
"WHAT?! Yeah, dude on our way."
Victor closed his phone and ran to the door.
"Vic what's wrong?" Karen asked worriedly.
"Kori…she's been kidnapped."
"WHAT?!" They all yelled.
"Come on we need to help Richard!"
Rachel made a move to get up when Gar stopped her.
"Oh no you're not going anywhere's in your condition."
Rachel glared at him, but sat back down in defeat. Victor turned to Karen.
"Karen stay her with Rae and we'll go help Richard."
"Hell no! You're not putting your life in danger without me."
Victor frowned.
"Bee, please." He used her little nickname he gave her and she nodded.
She then pulled him in a kiss.
"Be careful Sparkey kay?" He nodded and Gar kissed Rae good-bye.
Victor, Gar, Xavier and Kathy then ran out into Gar's new van. Victor took the wheel, Gar took shotgun and Xavier and Kathy sat in the back.
"Buckle up cause this is going to be one wild ride."
They soon were speeding off down the street.
-
I had my eye on the truck and all I was thinking was.
I'm coming Kori, I'm coming.
I went faster making up ground and catching up to the truck and a car pulled up beside me. Vic rolled down the window and started yelling out to me.
"This the truck?"
"Yeah!"
He nodded and drove up next to it. He then started ramming into the truck.
"Hang on." And that wasn't a friendly suggestion.
-
I looked up at the strangers that lay before me. My eyes were wide with fear and my throat was dry.
"What……what do you want?" I managed to choke out.
A man with slick back hair and brown eyes approached me.
"Why you my dear." he smile evilly sending shivers down my spine.
He then grabbed me by my arm and hauled me up. Suddenly the truck was hit, shaking the whole truck.
"Kyle we have a problem."
"Shit!"
The man named Kyle walked to the front of the truck meeting the driver.
"What is it?"
"Followers."
A smile found its way to my face.
Richard.
Suddenly the truck shook again.
"Lose them damn it!"
He swerved the truck and I hit the back doors and felt the handle with my hand. Kyle was walking towards me and I did the only thing I could think of. I turned the handle and the door swung open, with me hanging on to the edge as the truck crazily drove along.
-
Richard saw the door swing open and the person holding on for dear life on that door.
"KORI! HANG ON!"
Richard drove faster trying to close the gap between them.
-
Victor pulled the van back and spoke to the rest of the group while keeping his eyes on the road.
"You guys okay?"
He heard a couple of groans as their responses.
"Define okay." Kathy muttered while holding her stomach.
Suddenly one of the doors to the truck swung open with Kori holding on, dangling over the street as the truck flew down the street.
"Oh my god." Victor said as he watched the helpless girl hang from the door.
Gar's mouth opened wide creating a little o shape. Kathy gasped and put a hand to her mouth.
"HOLY SHIT!" Xavier said, loudest of them all.
Victor slammed his foot on the gas pedal and took off.
-
I pulled up only inches away from Kori.
"KORI TAKE MY HAND!"
She reached out when a bus came in-between us.
-
I had a tight grip on the door and screamed as loud as I could. I could see Richard pull up by the truck.
"KORI TAKE MY HAND!"
I reached out when a bus cam in-between us. Luckily the door smacked against the side of the truck and the bus passed through only inches…no centimeters away from me. The door swung back and Kyle made a grab for me when the truck yet again turned.
-
The truck turned and cars crashed into each other blocking Victor's path to the truck. He slammed on the brakes and hit the steering wheel in frustration.
"Damn it!"
Gar patted him on the back.
"Don't worry Richard will get them."
Vic turned to his soon to be father friend and smiled.
"I hope so Gar, I really do."
-
I pulled up next to the truck as the door swung back out.
"KORI JUMP!"
She looked frighten then looked back at the man trying to grab her. I set the motorcycle to auto and let go of the handle bars reaching out to Kori. She closed her eyes and threw herself off the door. I grabbed her hand pulling her up on my bike. She wrapped her arms my waist and I grabbed the handle bars setting it back to manual. We then turned down another street away from the truck.
"Kori it's safe you can open your eyes."
She opened them and sighed, she then laid her head on my back.
"Thank you Richard…..I was so scared."
She was on the verge of tears. I pulled over and helped her off then she cried into my chest.
"God only knows what he would have done to me."
This made me mad. Richard wanted to beat the shit out of this guy, but all he could do now was calm Kori down. Eventually the sobs subsided. I could her some shouts and could see the rest of the group come over. Kori looked too and smiled to see her friends.
"Kori are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a little freaked."
"Oh come here little lady!"
Victor pulled her into a huge hug which made her laugh.
"Thanks guys for coming to my rescue!"
"Anytime!"
I then walked Kori to her apartment and kissed her good-bye.
"Bye my prince." She whispered.
"Good-bye my sweet princess."
She smiled and walked into the bookshop and was out of sight. I smiled and headed home.
-
Victoria was enraged!
How dare that little bitch escape!
Kyle knocked on the door and heard a muffled scream.
"WHAT?!"
"Can I come in?"
"YES!"
He opened the door to be greeted by a flying glass vase. He ducked just in time and it crashed against the door.
"HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET AWAY?!"
"Richard….saved her."
Richard! Should have known.
"That son of a bitch! Well I guess I need to put him in his place and show him who his wife really is!"
"And the money?" Kyle chimed in.
Victoria smiled to herself and let out a little chuckle.
"Yes once I marry him we'll take control of the money."
Kyle smiled.
"What do you want me to do?"
"You? Nothing. I'm going to take care of this myself."
"But…but…."
"Well I guess you can take care of the location."
"Done."
She turned and grabbed him by the collar.
"Don't fail me this time or it will be your head."
Kyle gulped, he knew she meant business.
"Got it."
"Good. Now be gone."
She flicked her hand at him telling him to leave. He left without question. Victoria sighed to herself and sat down in the chair behind her desk. She tapped her long finger nails on the desk using her other hand to hold her chin with her elbow on the table. She then picked up the phone and dialed a number, she waited till the voice picked up.
"Hello?"
She smiled.
"Hello Steve."
"Victoria?"
"Yes it's me."
"Well then what can I do for you?"
"I need some items."
She carried on her conversation, telling the man named Steve everything she needed.
"Thanks Steve."
"No problem."
"Bye."
"Bye."
She put the phone down and picked up the picture of Kori and Richard. She remember how she took it while they were out on one of their "Secret Dates". Did they think she wouldn't find out. The picture was of them kissing and strangely it didn't bother her. She only wanted Richard for the money, but of course having him in her grasp was an added bonus. She traced the frame with her fingers.
"You thought I wouldn't figure it out did you?"
She then ceased up with anger and threw the picture against the door, shattering the glass.
"Hear this Kori Anders. I'm Victoria Grayson and I always get what I want and I will remove anyone who gets in my way!"
She then got up and walked out of her office stepping on the picture on her way out. She continued walking out onto the street not looking back.
She was evil. Pure evil. Did she feel a sting of regret or guilt? Was she sad that she had come to this decision? Did the little voice in her head tell her she was doing the wrong thing? Did she feel bad that she was evil, pure evil?
NoPe…..NoT aT aLl……………………….No ReGrEtS
Evil much. This is another one of my fave chapters! I had a lot of fun writing the car chasing scene! Like I said before, Victoria is evil much. Hopefully Kori and Richard will be able to survive her evilness……hopefully. Thanks to all my reviewers and please review this chapter! Next one should be coming out soon!
Peace Out!
