The Seductress

The door bursts open and Zoey walks in. She arch her brows at Stacey’s zombie like figure and down to the phone she was gripping tightly.

“Stacey!” She calls out and fold her arms. Stacey jerks out of her thoughts to stare at her.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost. Wayne finally agreed to date you huh?” She taunted. Stacey groans and push to her feet.

“Zoey, could you stop it already!. I’m not in for your joshing right now!” She blurts out and drops the phone on the bed. Zoey clucks her tongue.

“Whatever!, you don’t have to get worked up all of a sudden. You’d better get dressed, the spa needs us remember?” She rolled her eyes before walking out of the room. Stacey puffs out and rake her hand at her hair.

Damian doesn’t look like he’s lying. If Mrs Grace really had powers…. does it mean selene does?.

Without hesitating a second, she picks up her phone and dials Zach’s office line. He picks up on the first ring.

“Zach!, I don’t wanna know what you’re fvckin doing right now, but I’m coming over” She voice out immediately.

“Uhh?, you sound off, don’t tell me it’s about Wayne, I can’t help you on that and you know it.” Zach responds and thankfully he doesn’t sound drunk.

“Shut your trap Zach, it’s about Selene and it’s interesting…. wanna know what it is?” She raise her brows and smirk. A short silence and a throaty groan from Zach.

“Come over Stacey, right away” He groans in reply before he disconnects. A smile curve at her lips and she drops the phone back on the bed. Hell, this just got better.

Selene sips at her cup of cappuccino as the midday sun illuminates her office. Lots of mind blogging thoughts filling her mind and draining her. Bill had truly left before she woke up the following day and she didn’t know what to think of it. Men had done worse to her and she shouldn’t feel sorry for them.

She blew out her breath and sits the cup of cappuccino back on the table. She had the contact of her next victim and she texted him last night. She needs to get this done once and all. She knew he’d reply once he gets the message, a meet up and then he’s gone. She return her gaze to the screen of her laptop and a her face beams with a smile as she receives a mail. The contract Wayne had help her secure had done a lot for the company and after working for the Chicago clients, a lot of juicy offers contracts had followed.

Now a group of clients needs the company’s service and she’s expected at a dinner conference the next day. Selene tucks back her hair and began typing a reply immediately.

Zach stares at Stacey in disbelief as she tells him about the phone call with Damian.

“Are you fvckin kidding me Stacey, Mrs Grace has powers and there’s every possiblity that Selene has too!?” He blurts out in surprise and Stacey nods.

“I’m sure she has Zach. Come to think of it, Damian said lots of his male friends were attracted to Mrs Grace and now here is Selene, almost every sane guy is attracted to her, including you.” She pause for her words to sink in. she had gotten his full attention.

“But Mrs Grace power wasn’t evil Stacey, she healed people” Zach says trying to give selene the benefit of doubt She shakes her head and gets off the swivel.

“That’s where you got it all wrong Zach. There’s always different way people who have powers act. It’s either they use it positively…. or the other way round.” She fold her arms as Zach stares at her.

“What do you mean?” Zach asks impatiently. Stacey chuckles and walks up to him.

“If Selene really have powers, then she’s using it the wrong way Zach, the kind of bad spells that witches uses.” She deadpans and Zach looked her straight in the eye, a deep feeling of dread settling in his guts but seconds later it was replaced with anger.

“So she manipulated me Stacey!… she used her powers so I couldn’t refuse all her requests and that was letting Wayne work for her.” He clench his teeth in anger and gets off the swivel, taking his overcoat hung around it.

“Yeah Zach, you’re a smartass for figuring that out. She’s bad and we should do something to stop her.” She says pointedly. Zach shrugs it on and grabs his phone from the desk.

“Where are you off to Zach?” She ask and furrows her brows.

“Doing what is right Stacey, taking my secretary back” He grits and stride out of the office as Stacey grins.

Zach arrived at the company minutes later and since he wasn’t a random guy, he was allowed access to see Selene. He rode the elevator to her office and steps out minutes later. He walks through the short hallway that leads to the secretary office and paused as he sees Wayne sitting behind the desk.

“Boss!.” Wayne calls out in surprise, pushing to him feet immediately.

“Wayne, didn’t know you could grow much taller than when last saw you.” Zach says with a smile.

“Good to see you boss, it’s been ages” Wayne chuckles as they exchange handshakes. Zach didn’t look okay, both from his features and emotionally. Fvck could it be he isn’t over Selene yet.

“What brings you here…. business, or….” He stops at that knowing Zach knows what he meant. Zach scoffs.

“None Wayne. I’ve come to inform you that you an resume working for me once more.” He enunciated.

“Huh!, what do you mean boss. I should quit working for Selene?” He asks in surprise. What finally got into Zach’s head.

“Yeah!, exactly!” He responds and brings down his voice a notch.

“Wayne, we found out some really dreadful things about Selene… you shouldn’t be here any longer” Wayne archs his brows at Zach In confusion.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Dreadful things like what boss, you can’t just make me leave without a good reason” He suddenly hated the idea of going back to work for Zach. Zach starts to tell Wayne Stacey’s findings but stops that instant when the door to her office opens and Selene steps out. Zach straightens up and take in her figure. He swallows nothing, the delicate curve of Selene figure making him to forget himself momentarily.

“Zachary…. what brings you to my office, I wasn’t informed you know” Selene voiced and watches him with a raised brow. Zach gulps and grins sheepishly.

“Uh…. I… just stopped by…. to say hi Selene” He stuttered as Wayne arch his brows. Selene’s lips twitches as she tries not to chuckle.

“Alright campbell.” She smirk just as her phone rings from inside the office.

“You can go on with your Hi’s then, I’d just go take that.” She spares Wayne an amused glance before walking back into the office. Only he didn’t continue with the Hi’s. His anger returns the moment she leaves and Zach finds himself giving Wayne a hard stare before storming out of the office.

Selene strides to her phone and stared at the caller. She dilates her eyes as a wide grin appears on her face. Her next victim finally decided to call back. She chuckles, flipped her hair back and answers the call.

Minutes later she disconnects with a huge smile on her face. He was obviously cheap like the rest and he was anxious to meet her at one of his penthouses later at night. No security cameras as always. No one else should know, just her and her darling victim. She bite down her lips and smirk, another is going down soon.

Selene grips to the steering as she drove down the road leading to her victim’s pent house. She had had enough time to prepare for her death date, and now she was dressed in a short v-necked dress. She took a sideways glance at the revolver she brought along, just in case he acts funny. Ten minutes with him in and she’s done. She sighed and tune the stereo to her favourite song before stepping on the gas.

Only that this time she wasn’t alone cos meters away from her car was Stacey’s black lexus trailing after her with a determined look on her face.
