《The Godfather {Being Edited}》¤Chapter Thirteen¤

Euphoria couldn't help but gawk at the car she sat in. Demetrius did nothing but smirk as she touch every and anything.
"What is this beautiful beast." Euphoria threw her arms on the dashboard in attempt to hug the car. "I think I'm in love." She moaned.
Demetrius chuckled. "Its a Lamborghini urus truck."
"Hmmm." She hummed sitting properly in her seat. "Sounds expensive."
Demetrius didn't respond to the comment as they arrived in front of the building. Euphoria reached for the handle but stopped herself and sat still. She remembered Demetrius giving her stern scolding for touching the door handle. She waited for him to come around and open her door. He helped her out.
"I own this building." Demetrius told her. "Are you going to sue me?" He smirked as they got to the top of the stairs.
"Hmm I'll think about it." She shrugged. "Oh now wait I have something better." She perked up as the doorman opened the door with a shaky smile. "Hi again." It was only 10 in the morning and she was already out of jail.
"What do you have on you're mind Bella?" He smiled inwardly at the mischievous glint in her eyes.
"You'll know once we get to the front and you do you're whole boss man thing."
"Boss man thing?" He smirked at this.
"You know what I mean." She rolled her eyes with a slight giggle.
When they'd made it to the front of the reception desk Susan was standing with a nervous smile in which Euphoria returned with a smirk of her own.
"Miss Wright call everyone who was present during this morning's incident, besides the cops that is." The intimidating Demetrius she knew came forward.
"R-right a-a-away s-sir." Susan said. Just then David Daniels arrived. Euphoria gave him a smile and a wave in which he returned with his eyes darting to the broading man besides her and the guards that stood in the lobby
It look less than five minutes for the two guards, the doorman and Susan to be present. "Whoever is at fault this morning should speak up now, before I review the security tapes myself." Demetrius snapped his fingers before one his guards placed a tablet in his hand.

"Sir if I may." One of the guards spoke. "We received a call from Miss Wright to remove a trespasser and by the time we got here we saw her pulling at her hair and Miss Wright clawing at her." He explained.
Demetrius looked over at Euphoria who shrugged in return. "I'm not going to deny it if that's what your thinking. I'm too seconds away from finishing what that bitčh started." Euphoria glared daggers at Susan.
"What did she do for you to react like that?" Demetrius questioned.
"She used the N word sir." The doorman stepped in. He then went on to explain what happened from the moment Euphoria arrived.
"See it wasn't my fault. I was provoked." Euphoria shrugged.
"Miss Susan are you paid to terrorise and make such claims to those who walk in here?" Demetrius asked. "What if she had been a reporter and this had taken place? Do you understand the damage that you would have done? Even so that she is not a reporter but someone who is of importance to me."
I'm important to him? Oh wow
"I hope you understand that you have crossed a line that is far beyond your reach now. You will clean up your area and leave this building and then the city within the next hour. I don't want to see you anywhere in the city or else there will be dire consequences."
Susan began to pleade with him but one guard took hold of her and escorted her off the premises Euphoria assumed. "The rest of you back to work. Someone will be here shortly to fill in the vacancy temporarily." Demetrius grunted.
"See your big boss man thing." Euphoria pointed out after a moment of silence. "I was going to ask you to fire her but you did more than that."
"Miss Kreek." David Daniels her lawyer spoke gaining her attention. "Mr. D'Agostino."
"Hey Mr. Daniels. I'm sorry for dragging you all the way here but everything seems to be taken care of."
"Its quiet alright." He nodded before he bid them goodbye.

"Your keys ma'am." One of the security guards gave her the spare key.
"Thank you." She gave him a small smile. "Do you want to check out my new place with me or do you have work to get to."
"Unfortunately mi amore, duty calls but I'll walk you up." Demetrius took hold of her hand.
"Ok." She smiled at him. "I'm only planning on staying here for about a week to see if I like it. If not I'll sell it and find another place." She explained as they walked to the elevator.
"I'm sure you'll love it if not I can get you a penthouse on a higher floor."
"As sweet as that is there's something about living so far from the ground that isn't appealing to me." She shook her head. "But thank you for the offer."
"Anything for you." He placed a kiss on her temple making her smile.
~¤~
Euphoria had unpacked her suitcase and found the penthouse quiet beautiful. My uncle got taste. It had a bit of masculine touch which wouldn't take too long to fix. She had found a few of his things in the house and decided that she would donate them or sell the others.
She took another trip to her apartment to get all her school items before going back to the penthouse. She had found an office where she had placed everything there. She also decided to stay in the guest room in the mean time because the master bedroom still has his belongings.
Hey can we meet?
Delivered 12:39
It was a message from Tasha. Euphoria still felt a little sour on how things had turned out but decided to see what she wanted.
Sure. Text me place and time.
Sent 12:45
Euphoria took another shower since she was fresh out of the birdhouse. Once she was done she wore an extra large black graphic t-shirt tucked into well fitting denim high waisted jeans and black sneakers. She tied her hair into a ponytail before leaving with a small backpack.
Once she got to the rather expensive looking restaurant she had to tell the hostess who she was here for. When she had reached the table Euphoria couldn't help but quirk her brow at how different Tasha looked. She took a seat once the host had placed a menu down for her.
"Tasha can you even afford this place?" Euphoria asked looking around. "Its a little too Boujee."
"Oh c'mon Euphoria." Tasha rolled her eyes. "When life gives you lemons you make lemonade."
"That doesn't answer my question." Euphoria frowned.
"If you're worried about not being able to afford anything don't worry I've got you."
Bitčh say what?
"Whatever Tasha. Did you call me here to throw all of this in my face?"
"No I didn't. I called you here to apologise and treat you to lunch." Tasha said. "I know I was wrong for how I acted and I'm sorry."
"Ok then." Euphoria nodded. "So can we please go somewhere else-"
She was caught off guard by Tasha standing up and greeting a group of girls that had walked up to their table. Some of them were from the strip club and the others she didn't know. "Uhm Tasha what going on? I thought we were having lunch. As in us the both of us." She knew this table was a little too big for just the two of them.
"Oh lighten up doll face." One of the strippers who went by Candy, who's real name is actually Candice, said. Euphoria didn't like her much. She always thought too highly of herself.
Euphoria shook her head. "You know what I don't need this." She stood to her feet. "This isn't you Tasha."
"Euphoria you've only known me for a couple of weeks. How would you know that?" Tasha challenged.
"You know what you're right." Euphoria nodded her head. "Maybe I placed the wrong person on a high pedestal."
With that Euphoria grabbed her bag and left out the restaurant angry and tired.
Today is not my day.

[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
