HELLO EVERYONE! So sorry for the long update wait, but I am still here and kicking just dealing with life. I hope you are doing well and happy holidays to you all. Either way I hope you all enjoy, though I don't watch Jimmy Fallon show or any talk shows so that part is going to be short.
I rewrote it like three times and just said screw it, this is the best I can do. Again, I don't watch talk shows, so I don't know what goes on even trying to look up some videos. But I do hope you enjoy the rest of the story and certain special someone at the end showing up.
Enjoy!
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Monday soon rolled around as I sat in the back room waiting for my turn to go onto the show. I was in the dress I picked out while shopping with Perona (Last Chapter Description) while doing my hair up nice in elegant curls with part of my hair with a black lace bow in the back. My black peep toe heels were on with my charm bracelet and single chain necklace with a single diamond drop at the end as the pearls weren't pulling the look I wanted. I sat on the couch watching the show as it was airing when a guy with a headset walked in.
"Miss Sinclair, you are up next. Please follow me," he motioned for me to follow as I got up.
We walked backstage passing several people working behind the scenes before I stopped before the set as a woman helped hook up a small microphone to my outfit.
"Alright Miss Sinclair," the man who came to get me whispered to me while looking at a clipboard. "You will enter the stage through here and sit on the first seat closest to Jimmy's desk after his intro of you, and then question you."
"Sounds good," I whispered back.
I looked at the television flat screen as Jimmy was sitting behind his desk getting his makeup touched up as his black Labrador dog ears were up though I wasn't able to see his tail from behind the desk in his grey navy suit. The make-up artist left as the show was coming back from the commercial.
Jimmy fixed his papers on his desk before looking up to the camera with a smile, "Welcome back folks as our next guest is special on tonight's show, who won against her ex-boss during the trial that not only exposed abuse with the company but what she did to herself to take care of her family. Everyone please welcome Miss Bunny Sinclair!"
Jimmy announced me as the audience cheers as I walked on stage waving shyly as I walked over to Jimmy shaking his hand before sitting down with my legs crossed, "Thank you Jimmy, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Nonsense it more of an honor to meet you Miss Sinclair or due you prefer Bunny?" Jimmy asked.
"You can call me Bunny," I replied with a soft closed smile.
Jimmy sat forward, "I do have to say Bunny, I was absolutely appalled how your ex-boss treated you. There are laws protecting Omega's as you know I have two kids who are Omega's, but what you did to provide for your only family member you have alive. That was shocking and so brave."
"I wouldn't say brave as I poisoned myself, I never knew what would happen," I turned to the crowd. "Please don't do what I did, I damaged my body probably for the rest of my life."
I looked back as Jimmy as he spoke, "Have you been with your doctor about the situation?"
"I spoke with him, but there haven't been any side effects so far. If anything starts to feel weird within my body to let him know. My scent glands still aren't producing a scent, and I haven't had a heat in two years. I blame Enel for treatment, but I am happy I won thew trial as the abuse he and many other employees that were there."
"Yes, but you did help some people like the that security gentlemen," Jimmy smiled as he pointed that out about Daniel.
"Yes, I help did Daniel but there were another male and female Omega's I was able to help find jobs after they also had abuse from Enel and others. I just hope they are doing okay since we haven't spoken in a long time."
"Seriously Bunny, you have a big heart, and I actually did some digging," Jimmy spoke, leaning to the other side of his desk.
"Oh boy, I'm worried about that."
The crowd laughed as Jimmy did pulling up a picture, "No, this is the good type of digging." He pulled up a picture showing my mother on a cover that used to be on one of her music CD's. "Bunny, I didn't know that your mother was renowned violinist Ordelia Sinclair, God Bless her Soul and your fathers."
"Thank you, and yes, she is a renowned violinist having played many shows around the world and at Madison Square Garden. Even when I was young, she taught me how to play as I wanted to be like her, I miss her," I looked at the picture longingly as the crowd let out a sympathetic 'Awe'.
"I actually saw her perform with my family and it was amazing, your mother had some serious talent, Bunny. She was amazing, Bunny, can you play something for me?"
I looked at Jimmy shocked pointing at myself, "Wait, you want me to play?"
"Yeah! After everything from the trial and hearing you play, then finding out your mother was Ordelia Sinclair. I would love to hear you play. You are an incredible person standing up to your abusive ex-boss, taking care of your family after the passing of your parents, and striving through everything. I bet you are just as amazing as your mother, please will you play?" Jimmy boasted to look like he was begging me.
"SHE IS AMAZING!" I groaned covering my face as I heard Perona yell from the crowd as I brought her since she begged me to bring her making me feel embarrassed.
"Who was that?" Jimmy asked, looking confused.
"That was my friend Perona, she was my dorm mate from college and been best friends with me since college. She helped do my hair for tonight," I replied.
"BUNNY CAN PLAY! SHE EVEN WRITES HER OWN MUSIC!" I covered my face embraced leaning forward.
"Perona!' I exclaimed sitting up glaring at the direction she was in.
"Woah hold the brakes she just trying to help, but is it true? DO you write your own music," Jimmy asked trying to calm the situation as he could tell I was embarrassed by my friend.
I sighed nodding, "Yes, I used to write a lot during college and some during my time at Enel's company when I am home. I may have a master's in finance, accounting, and business but I also had a fulltime scholarship for Music playing First Chair as Violinist."
"Please play something you wrote; Oh I would love to hear you play! Right, everyone!" Jimmy turned to the crowd who cheered wanting to hear me play which I was shocked to hear them wanting me to play something.
"Okay, okay I will play."
"YES!" Jimmy stood up as I got up with him as someone handed him a violin and bow then to me.
I tried out the violin but realized it needed to be toned, "One sec the strings are off."
"What dong are you going to play?" Jimmy asked as I fixed the the strings.
"Well, I don't remember my music I wrote as it has been some time, but I am going ot play one of my favorite pieces by Paganini which is Caprice no. 5," I replied.
"Wasn't Paganini the Devils Violinist?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes, but he made amazing violin pieces I adored playing when I was young while learning. This piece is fast when playing, but I enjoy it as when I am angry, I usually pay some of his faster pieces to let out some frustration," I replied as I placed the violin under my chin as I stood in my violin position before I began to play.
The moment I began to play, a calm washed over me as I always felt the thrill of playing as the emotions of the music flowed through me. I often get lost within the music as I played, eyes closed as I imagine my mother and father watching as they have done in the past at recitals, or at home. It made me feel so close to them as music was something my family loved the most, and always enjoyed listening to classical music and several other genres. We often went to see ballets, musicals on Broadway, and even watching old movies with singing. Even when I went to college, I wanted to be able to take care of my family as I knew being famous may not last as my mother pulled away or rather wasn't getting jobs for concerts. I wanted something stable, but still be able to create music on the side with her. Before those depressing emotions began to take a hold on me, I finished the piece by lowing my bow and violin I was given.
Immediately I was shocked by the applause and cheer I had gotten from the crowd, and the whole staff with Jimmy clapping and many in almost tears. It touched me as I had to hold back the tears of my own from such praise, but to hear people enjoy the music I played.
"That was amazing! Oh, my gawd that was incredible! You have some serious talent Bunny, thank you for playing for us!" Jimmy praised as I smiled as he went for a hug as I returned. "Bunny Sinclair everyone!"
I turned to everyone smiling softly as I gave a soft wave as Jimmy thanked everyone here as the show was over. But this night seemed to change for me.
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
After the Jimmy Fallon show, I had started to get calls from other talk shows like the View, the Drew Berry Show, and several others talking about the trial, my family, and what I going to do now. I was still going to stay at the Club to manage the books but having a serious talk with Mama I decided to finally leave the club. They threw me a Farewell party which was filled with laughter and meaningful farewell tears. Mama would make sure Lawrence would pay back the money he still owes me. They were family to me for so many years, but now even with leaving they all were proud of me with all I was doing and achieving. Days rolled by as I was also getting calls not just from talk shows, but also asking if I could model for some magazines with articles about everything and how I have been trying to recover after poisoning myself with my recovery.
Since the trial nearly over a month ago, the side effects of my body have been very mild. Having some headaches, only had two nosebleeds when I was exercising when lifting weights, and on a jog. I still haven't gotten my period as I have been talking with Marco with any side effects that have started to appear. I do feel like I am having cramps but nothing of the result of me having my period. We did another round of blood tests, that some levels of my body were only a few points high but everything else was stable from what Marco said when going over the tests with me. So, for now, I have a journal at home as I have been keeping with any effects I have been having, what I have been eating, and keeping track of taking care of my body.
Even with all the calls I have been getting, getting paid from advertisements from people I have worked with, I was making a good amount of money. Perona has also helped me set up a part of my living room where she taught me how to record as I post on TikTok, and on YouTube of me playing songs on my violin from what I wrote, songs I love, and even songs from Paganini which as gotten a string of people following my videos and supporting me.
Currently, Perona and I were walking in the park heading towards a food cart for a treat as we were taking a break from her shop. I have been helping Perona at her shop, still helping manage her ledgers, but also helping her with her soon Winter collection about to come in. The cool crips air was lowering as Fall was beginning to come as the leaves on the trees were starting to turn multiple shades of yellow, red, and brown. I myself was wearing a knitted white sweater with a pair of dark jeggings with some thick heel's ankle boots with a zipper on the inside with laces in the front. My hair pulled into a ponytail and my glasses on my face as I wasn't in the mood to wear my contacts. Perona was in one of her cute gothic Lolita outfits with a black lace umbrella she was holding to shield her from the sun.
As we were walking and talking, something caught my attention as it was a shock to see, "Sugar?"
There sitting on the ground by the large fountain crying was Sugar from Doflamingo's family in a school uniform with a small red cape on and school backpack. Her cute little teal cat ears were bent back as her hood was off, and her little small teal act tail wrapped around her leg. She looked up from hearing her name before rushing to me hugging my legs tight crying.
"WAAAAHHHH! BUNNY!" she exclaimed, balling her eyes out freaking me out.
"Woah, woah Sugar what is going on? Why aren't you in school?" I pulled her from my legs asking greatly concerned as I crouched down as she wiped her eyes, but tears still kept coming out.
"I hate school! Everyone is so mean, and Dellinger was picking on me because I haven't presented yet!" Sugar cried, explaining what was going on. "No one wants to listen to me; everyone scowls at me! I hate it! I hate Dellinger! I hate school! WAHHHH!"
"Oh Sugar," I hugged her as she cried her eyes out. I may not like Doflamingo with his illegal dealings, but hearing her cry about what was happening couldn't make me hate her. She is just a small child, not presented, and being bullied. Even today, kids can be so cruel when picking on someone weaker than themselves.
"Bunny, do you know this kid?" Perona bent at her waist asking confused.
I pulled away from Sugar looking up at Perona, "This is Sugar, she is a part of Doflamingo's Family."
"What?!" her dramatic gasped with her hand in front of her mouth.
I turned from Perona's shock to Sugar as she used her cape to rub her nose on as it was running from crying.
"Sugar, did you run away from school?" She nodded as I sighed. Dropping my head, knowing that I'm going to have to deal with 'HIM' even after having a good month of not hearing, seeing, or any of his family members stalking me from a distance. Lifting my head, "Sugar do you have a cell phone on you to call your family?"
Sugar dug into her pocket as she dug out her phone which was the latest model handed it to me which I took. Standing up, I tried to turn the phone on, but it was dead. Damn, I'm going to need to charge this. Looking at Sugar as much as I didn't want to deal with Doflamingo, I couldn't leave her here. She could get taken or worst by one of Doflamingo's enemies which he probably has.
"Sugar," she looked up at me with teary eyes while I bent down to her again. "Since the phone is dead, how about you come with me and my friend Perona. We were on our way to getting something sweet to drink before heading back to her shop. I can't leave you here alone, so why don't we go get something sweet to help calm you down. Then, once the phone is charge, I will talk with your family to let them know you are safe. Does that sound okay?"
She looked down sad, "They're going to be upset with me."
"That may be true, but I will let them know what has happened to make you feel like you had to run away. They must be worried about you, but for now lets get you some ice cream and then maybe you can play dress up with Perona."
She seemed happy when I said that, "Really?"
"Yes!" Perona stepped up grinning showing off her outfit which Sugar has stars in her eyes looking at Perona's outfit. "I own my own Boutique and we can try on some of the cloths! I have a lot of cutesy items you might like"
"Really! That's awesome!' Sugar jumped up and down now happy which I smiled at.
Standing up, I held out my hand to her which she took. "Don't worry Sugar, perona has some really good stuff you may like. Come, lets go get some ice cream."
"YAY!" Both of them cheered as I couldn't help but shake my head laughing at them.

It had been an hour since we came back to the shop, Perona immediately began to distract Sugar while I went looking for a charging cord to charge Sugars phone. I was in the back office to see that the phone was now halfway charged so I decided to turn it on. Sugar gave me the passcode so once it was on, a flurry of messages and missed calls began to blow up on the phone. Oh boy, this is going to be a nightmare for me -sighs-.
Before I could even get the contacts, the phone began to ring with Giolla's name popping up with a picture of her. I grimaced at the sight as it was hurt dressed like a mermaid, obviously she put this image in the phone. Swiping right, I put the phone in my ear before removing it quickly.
"WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU SUGAR?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED WE ARE!" Giolla yelled from the other side making my ears ring.
Pulling the phone back I spoke annoyed, "Stop yelling she is fine Giolla."
There was a pause before, "BUNNY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH SUGAR? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?"
Pulling away again I growled at the phone getting irritated by her before I could hear her talking with Doflamingo as he was demanding the phone from her.
"Bunny?" I put the phone back to my ear to hear his voice.
"Yeah, it's me. Sugar is fine, I have her. I found her in the park crying," I told him flipping through a magazine Perona had on her desk.
"I see, thank you so much for finding her. Her school called Giolla when she ran off during recess," Doflamingo's tone was calm though I could almost feel he was smiling on the other end.
"You might want to talk with Dellinger, and the school staff," I retorted.
"Why is that?" Doflamingo asked curious.
"Sugar said that Dellinger was bullying her with some of his friends about her not presenting," I replied.
"Did he now?" I could hear the tone shift in his voice, almost like he was glaring at a certain someone I mentioned.
I continued, "Also Sugar having gone to the staff but pushed her away stating they are on lunch and deal with it herself. On top of that, Sugar states that no one in her family listens to her, and that is why she ran away. Your lucky I found her, and not one of your enemies you have."
"Yes, and I thank you personally for finding her. We had gotten word from her school when they couldn't find her. It has been nearly three hours, why hadn't you called me sooner?" he questioned, I feel like his head titled with his tone.
"Her phone was dead, and needed to charge before I could do anything to contact you with her phone," I replied dryly, leaning back in the chair.
"I see," I could hear in the background that it sounded like he was opening a door and closing it with Giolla screaming in the background about Sugar, and myself. "Well my dear bunny, where are you so we can pick Sugar up?"
"I'm at Perona's shop on 35th on Lexington, Perona is keeping Sugar busy with playing dress up with some of the designs Perona made for her store."
"Alright we will be over shortly," I heard him say before I hung up on him. Tossing the phone onto the desk I covered my face groaning. Oh, this is going to suck!
.
.
.
.

.

Time passed before I heard the door slam open from the back office as I heard Giolla yell for Sugar. Rolling my eyes, I put my pencil behind my ear as I got up to head to the front, coming into view of the front of the shop as Giolla was crying while hugging Sugar in a cute outfit by Perona's picking like a cute little Lolita kitten in pink and white with her cape. Doflamingo was in his famous large, feathered coat while dressed in a slick black business suit with a maroon button up shirt, and black tie. Behind him was Trebol, Diamante, and Dellinger who was pouting who seemed to have had gotten a scowling.
"Do you have any idea how worried we were about you running away?!" I watched as Giolla was shouting at Sugar who looked like she was about to cry.
"Hey!" Everyone looked at me when I shouted as I was angry. I walked over pulled Sugar to me who hugged my legs hiding behind me. "Listen here Giolla you have no right to yell at her when Dellinger was bullying her along with his friends!" I snapped at her as she held her hand to her chest gasping in shock to be actually yelled at.
Her face grew angry pointing her finger at me, "Don't you yell at me little hussy!"
I slapped her hand away gaining another gasp from her.
"I am no hussy Giolla no should you treat a child like this especially with what she has told me about you and your family in the way you treat her. She is a young six-year-old who may have not presented, but it doesn't give you the right to shout," I glared hard at her while she looked stunned to see someone actually stand up to her.
I was ignoring Doflamingo, turning to laugh as he would fine this amusing to him.
I looked at Doflamingo who was straining to keep his grin from widening, "Don't laugh you prick, as the Head of your Family you should be acting worried that she wasn't captured by your enemies, and that I was the one to find her."
He nodded stepping towards me bent at the waist a little to my height, "Of course I was worried as we all are Bunny."
"You don't look like you are so wipe that grin off your face," he faked a pout before standing up straight with his hands in his pocket.
"How dare you-" I sent a glare to Giolla who froze from my glare I sent.
"I will speak however I want Giolla, and from what I hear your at home skills are lacking with children seeing how Sugar and Dellinger constantly fight while brushing them off. I have every right to call Social Services-"
"What!" Giolla screeched; my ear went back from her voice hurting my ears.
"Okay I think that is enough," Doflamingo stepped in front of me with his back to me. "Giolla, we are all worried about Sugar, but for now let's be happy she is safe, thank Bunny for finding her."
"What?! But she-"
A growl came from Doflamingo as a warning that shut Giolla up before turning to me with a wicked smile on his face while I looked up at him annoyed. "Bunny my dear,-"
"Don't 'my dear' me Doflamingo, I saved your ass from a serious scandal of your missing family member that if anyone knew who she was, could have been in a lot of danger," I pointed at him.
He placed his hand over his chest, "And I thank you personally Bunny, how can I make it up to you for finding our little Sugar?"
His grin was up but tight, he really doesn't like owing favors. I smirked up at him while his seemed to lower.
"You can pay for whatever Sugar picks out in this shop," I grinned with my hands on my hips.
"Really?!" Sugar jumped from behind me with stars in her eyes.
"Ye!" I smiled sweetly at her before grinning like the devil before me. "I can tell you don't like owing people so whatever she wants you're paying. Cash only."
Doflamingo stood straight head tilted to the side thinking.
"Alright."
"YAY!" What?!" I chuckled seeing Sugar jumping up happy while Giolla was shocked.
"Whatever she picks, its what we owe Bunny for finding her so not another word," Doflamingo tone was dark as Giolla folded her arms upset but walked away while Sugar was talking to Perona happily who was giggling with her.
"Bunny," I looked at Doflamingo. "May we talk in private; I have something I wish to discuss with you?"
"Fine, oh and Perona," I called out to Perona who perked up from voice. I smirked at her, "Let her see the Winter Collection."
She grinned back before saluting me, "Can do!"
I grinned up at Doflamingo, "Follow me."
I went to the back room as I could hear him behind me grumbling with all the fabric everywhere in multiple piles, and unorganized. I pushed the door open as I walked into the office which was small space enough with a small folding chair while I sat down in the old rolling chair leaning back. Watching Doflamingo lower himself to enter the room before looking around not liking what he sees.
"This is an office?" he questioned before adjusting his suit as he sat down.
"Not everyone can have expensive offices Doflamingo, now what do you want from me?" I folded my arms on top of the desk.
Doflamingo reached into his inner suit pocket to pull out a folded packet of papers to hand it to me which I took. "I am offering you a contract to work with me at my company, this is contract.
My mouth opened like I was looking at a crazy person, "I'm sorry, what."
Doflamingo pointed at the papers in my hand, "That is a special contract I drew up as I want to hire you."
I stared at him for several moments before throwing my head back laughing, literally holding my sides laughing.
"It isn't a joke my dear," Doflamingo grunted out only to jump in his chair when I slammed my hand down on the desk.
"No, I don't think you get it," I pointed my coffin manicure nail at him painted black with a silver tip. "Why in the seven levels of hell do you think I will ever want to work for you?"
I picked my vape up inhaling it hard as I left out a large puff of smoke.
"Smoking isn't good for you Bunny."
"I say the same thing to you about selling illegal drugs and goods Doflamingo," I sneered.
"I don't just sell illegal goods Bunny; I sell fashion, jewelry, art, and many other things," Doflamingo responded waving his hand to get the smoke away from him.
"Either way, this history between us isn't good, nor do I want part of your family," I retorted leaning back while his grin appeared.
"And what if it was good? Would you accept my offer then if you hadn't figure out who I was?" He slyly spoke almost intrigued.
"By what if you meant it was good? Come into the club, favor me with gifts like some cheap hooker, be my Sugar Daddy? Is that what you're implying?" I glared at him only to see his grin widen.
"If you wanted to be my Sugar baby then yes, but digging down into the information I have about you since you figured out who I am. I wanted to try the business approach with you, I mean you did say it live you are a 'Businesswoman' after all," he was referring when I was on the View when I was asked about how I handle things such as my money and Perona's shop.
"Can't be surprised you're a fan and have been stalking me on everything I have been doing," I grunted hitting my vape again.
"Oh, but I loved the talk shows you had been on, and what you have been doing on TikTok. You play beautifully," I rolled my eyes at him as he was trying to woo me with praise.
"Get to the point or leave," I snipped at him.
"Fine," he shifted in his chair grin dropping getting a frown on his face.
"I want you."
"I don't."
"Can I finish?" his voice getting deep while restraining his tone while getting upset.
"Fine," I slumped back in my chair folding my arms under my chest.
His jaw shifted while folding his hands together over his crossed knee, "You have serious skills I want to use for my company. Not only knowing how to doctor documents which I know you can, but also I need someone managing my accounts as Giolla has been busy with raising the kids-"
"Terribly." I inserted under my breath.
I could see his hands tense but didn't say anything only to continue his speech, "I want you to take the position as the Chief Financial Officer in my many companies I own. That contract has everything lined up from pay to benefits, and more."
I pressed my lips together staring at him before opening up the right drawer digging in it until I pulled out a red permanent marker while grabbing the contract.
"What is that?"
"It's a red permanent marker, I am going to use it while I read through this contract, and if I find anything I don't like I am going to cross it out," I bit the top of the marker before spitting it onto the desk.
"Uh," he was stunned for words as I held my finger up at him to silence him.
"Quiet, I'm reading," I didn't look at him as I began to read.
I could hear a small grumble from him which I lips going up in a smirk as I know my actions were irritating him. Alright, let's see what we got here. Blah blah, legal details of my involvement yeah that's gonna be a no. Mark that off, moving down. I read through the first page flipping it over. Really? That may be a lot but that is gonna be marked off with writing a comment. Onto the next, yada yada benefits involving so and so. Nope, mark on that with the sharpie. Mark that, next page. HA! Yeah right, marking that with a comment I know he isn't going to like. Moving pass this to the next page after a few more marks. I read through the rest of the pages before tossing him the contract which he caught much to his surprise and displeasure.
"Hard pass, that contract is all you, and even with the pay, benefits that contract is more for you than me. Thanks for the offer, but I decline," I picked up the cap putting it back on the sharpie.
"Bunny, I only give one contract," his frown was deep as I can hear the displeasure in his voice.
I smiled wickedly sweet with his chin resting on my fingers with my elbows on the desk, "To bad, no thanks. Have a nice day."
"Bunny, have I not been decent enough with you as well as allowing you to get away with insulting me, but I am literally offering you a deal I will not make with anyone else. You are the only person I want for the job," he argued keeping his voice level though deeply irritated by my decision.
"Your contract favors mostly you, and frankly with all that you do I want no part in it. If I ever sign a contract, you won't be able to afford me. Not only that, I will not be your scapegoat in anything so again I am going to pass," I argued back.
"Then what can I do to get you to sign with me, your skills are being wasted here," he said looking around judging everything around him.
"Take your glasses off."
I could tell his eyebrows went up as his ears went straight back, his frown deepened.
"What?"
I smirked tapping my index finger on my left lens of my own glasses, "Take. Your. Glasses. Off. Or are you afraid to show what's behind that left lens."
Doflamingo sat there in silence before I saw Giolla coming into the door's view, "Young Master we are- "before Giolla could finish her sentence, Doflamingo reached out quickly grabbing the door before slamming it in her face. "Okay, we will wait in the car." I heard her say from behind the door as my smile grew into a wicked grin.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I snickered at his remark. He was definitely restraining himself as I can see the veins in his neck and forehead appear pulsating.
"Really? You want to play that card how funny when your-"
I backed away quickly when Doflamingo went to reach for me only to growl as his face was furious while I was still giggling at him with great pleasure to see him like this.
"Watch your words Bunny-"
"Or what?" I shook my head snarky at him. "Threaten me? Torture me? Beat me? Or what Doflamingo? You afraid for people to know that your-"
"SILENCE!" he bellowed, his teeth clenched tight and bared at me his fist slamming down hard in the desk which shook under his fist.
I stared up at him unimpressed as I was now pissed, "You are just like Enel with your temper."
"I am nothing like that lowlife Bunny," he leaned down gripping each side of the desk which he towered over.
"You are," I stood up making him stand up straight with his ears literally almost touching the ceiling as I stared up at him. "Enel was demanding, rude, and thinking he can get anything he wants just because he was an Alpha. Just like you are, which is why I will never sign with you because you remind me of him. Signing with you will be signing with another Devil, a much fouler devil who will sacrifice anyone just to save his and his families ass from the government."
His jaw shifted with his lip sneered up displeased as he picked up the contract that fell on the floor stuffing it back into his suit.
"This isn't the end Bunny, I will not stop chasing you till I have you," he spoke with a dark promise before opening the door storming off.
Slumping down in my chair I dropped my head to the desk, fuck me! Why does he have to be so relenting?! He never stops, and frankly I wish I never had met him that night. He may have looked appealing back then, fun to toy with, but with all that I know I can't help but hate him. Everything he stands for is what I see as nothing but trouble for myself along with anyone I meet or know. He also knows that if he does anything, I can trace it back to him which could be a problem for him too which he isn't going to risk all that he has. Sitting up I ran my hand through my hair leaning back in the chair exhausted from dealing with him. His obsession with me is never going away, that I can tell. I have to be the only woman to say 'no' to him, let alone insult him to his face. He seriously has some screws loose, at least Sugar got something out of this. Sweet as she is, I still feel bad about her, I was bullied when I was young too until I presented. Though even as an Omega, being picked on and got to my parents moved me to a different school Pops owned. Hopefully, they won't be too hard on Sugar.

Doflamingo slammed the door shut to the limo hard making everyone jump as he growled furiously to Lao, "Drive."
No one said anything as they were wide eyed and scared not seeing the Young Master so furious. His jaw clenched tight as his elbow on the door handle with his fist closed over his lips, ears folded back dangerously low, and his tail flicking up and down aggressively.
'How dare she say that! There is no way she knows!' Doflamingo thought, his mind violently racing on whenever she could have found out about his secret that only his most intimate family knows about.
Even throwing the contract back at him was nothing more than an insult when he spent his own personal time typing it up than Senior Pink. That contract was more than enough than what he has ever offered to anyone! The pay alone was twice that of most of his other employees, let alone half of his family would get some of the sales they make, let alone from the drug money they pull in. His fingers pressed to his forehead as he glared through his glasses at the world passing while inside of the car.
"Young Master?" Lao spoke up calmly from the front.
"What!" Doflamingo hissed making everyone tense besides Lao.
"Are you still meeting with 'him' or shall I cancel?" Lao asked, which caused Doffy to curse under his breath.
'Damn, I forgot about that," Doffy thought, before shaking his head.
"No, drop me off, I can't cancel that meeting," Doffy snipped as Lao nodded turning down a street.

Sitting at a table on the balcony of a rich restaurant overlooking the city sat Doflamingo still pissed as he slammed back the whiskey in his glass waiting for a certain someone to show up. He was still pissed about Bunny turning him down that he asked for whiskey than his usual expensive wine he enjoys needing something stronger to drink.
"Geez, you look pissed," looking up Doflamingo stared at the man who spoke taking out the chair across from him to sit down was none other than his younger brother Rosinante. He was dressed in a simple black business suit with none of his make-up on his face as the restaurant doesn't allow it. His hair was down like it was barely brushed from under his hat he usually wears with a frown on his face. His matching blonde cat ears like his brothers was slopped down with his tail matching in color. His reddish-brown eyes stared at his brother looked displeased to be meeting his brother even after shooting him years ago, then even letting him live with only a promise of meeting once a month as long as Rosinante stayed away from Doffy's dirty business with not crossing him ever again.
"So, what if I am," Doffy flagged down the waiter as he refilled the glass before leaving after getting Rosi's drink order. Doflamingo pulled from his pocket tossing him an envelope filled with money which Rosinante took going through counting it.
"Usually, your mood is much better when you've been mentioning that Bunny's womans name," Rosinante spoke, placing the envelope in his own suit pocket to see his brother's teeth clench. Rosinante chuckled as his lips turned up as he was amused to see his brother acting the way he was, "So it is about her. What she do now to have you veins pulsing out?"
"She did this," Doffy hissed taking the contract out tossing it on the table. "She refused to sign the contract, marking it up like some child's coloring book."
Rosinante picked up the contract looking over it, he looked impressed, "Wow, she really did mark this up. Oh wow, that's funny."
"It isn't funny Rosinante," Doffy growled at him.
"Actually, it is," Rosinante snickered as he flipped through the pages. "You're upset that someone actually denied you, and that someone you have been trying to pursue to join you who knows about your dirty dealings. You know your tricks are going to work on her, she seems way to smart and almost several steps ahead of you which pissed you off."
Doffy slammed his fist on the table causing Rosi to jump in his seat, "It isn't just that! She knows! She fucking found out, and I don't know how she knows. She even demanded I do 'that' just to get her to sign with me."
Rosinante folded the contract placing it back on the table before him, "And what would 'that' you are referring too?"
Rosinante watched as his brothers' teeth clenched with his fist around the glass in his hand which almost seemed to crack under his grip. "She said to take my glasses off, she knows what's behind the left lens."
Rosinante eyes widened in shock as his mouth dropped open. Rosinante is the only one outside of Doffy's new family who knows what his brother is hiding behind his signature glasses. Something he has been hiding since when they were just kids from that certain time of events that changed everything for them both. An event Doflamingo hates talking about, let alone wanting to revisit. For Bunny to find out on her own is seriously big, let alone demand for Doffy to remove is glasses just to join his company.
"Holy fuck," Rosi mutter as he put his hand over his mouth hiding his smile from his brother. Rosinante couldn't help but find it funny to see this situation come up, it was hilarious to see his brother so irritated over the matter.
"Bunny has the skills I want let alone make her Chief partner with the company, I even gave her serious benefits other employees don't even have!" Doffy slammed his glass down hard on the table making the contents on it shake.
"Have you even read the contract with her comments on it?" Rosi asked, while Doflamingo snatched the contract on the table.
"Yes, I have, and it is appalling. She even stated I was just like Enel! I am nothing like that idiot, she dare compare me to him stating I am overbaring Alpha who gets whatever I want through force," Doffy complained, Rosi rolled his eyes.
"You do 'do' that Doffy, even when we were kids you got whatever you wanted, and growing up like we did. You took things from others using whatever methods you deemed fit just so you can have whatever you wanted, and you're doing it now with Bunny," Rosinante pointed out as Doffy glared at him which didn't phase the younger brother. "Bunny understands and see's the same thing Enel did to her with you. No matter if you helped her at court, which I'm shocked you even did to this day. Bunny isn't going to sign with you by you forcing her or threatening her. I've seen her on television shows, she is a business woman, but she is far smarter with dealing with you with extreme caution. She doesn't trust you; she doesn't trust what you do, what your company does, what drugs you sell, there is just no trust at all."
"So, what you're saying I need to get her to trust me?" Doffy grumbled slumping in his chair.
Rosinante shook his head, "I doubt she ever will trust you Doffy, but forcing her isn't the way to go either. She dealt with that with Enel, and acting like him even though you aren't him-"Rosi had to put his hands up fast before his brother could go after his with his teeth bared growling. "My advice is that you revisit the contract, and slowly try to get on her good side. Which means you actually have to get to know her, not by using Senior Pink to look up everything about her. Not everything is going to be in simply looking into someone background, and I can't believe I am saying this." Rosinante exhaled through his nose, "Actually show some real empathy with her."
Doflamingo shifted his lower jaw looking away from his brother as he is not the person to show any type of 'empathy' to anyone besides his family, but even then, still masks his emotions around. He doesn't like showing real happy emotion unless it was getting his way and making others miserable with his deals. Doflamingo wasn't lying when he had interest in Bunny, even thinking back maybe it wouldn't have been all too bad if she was his Sugar Baby. He has had them in the past but dumped them once they got too attached. Even with gold diggers, he mostly used the women he was with for his own pleasure, but Bunny was different. She was so sly when he met her, even the second time was more exciting that she actually got such a reaction out him he hadn't had in a very long time. Bunny was defiant, coy, smart, and unafraid of him which many are even when he gets angry. She stands up to him knowing he can't do anything because she can easily blow the top on him to government officials chasing him down and causing him problems like Tsuru has been doing for years. Yet she doesn't, she holds the information in her back pocket like a golden ticket to get her or get out jail free card if he ever did anything.
Even her scent was intoxicating to Doffy. Each time she is around her scent fills his nose and sends chills down his body like a good taste of wine filling his gullet. Doflamingo couldn't understand why he was addicted to such a sweet smell; all he wanted to do was bury his face in her neck to devore everything that Bunny could ever have. It's becoming a strong obsession to get her to his side, and he was going to get her by his side no matter what. She was his, and Doflamingo gets what he wants.
"I'll think about what you said, but I make no promises Little Brother," Doflamingo answered, his temper lessened from thinking about what his brother had told him.
Rosi shrugged, "You barely keep any promise so don't do anything stupid or you might end up in jail. Now, I'm ordering as I am hungry so call the waiter."
Doflamingo waved to the waiter as the two ordered and did their once-a-month dinner together before not seeing each other till the next month.
