CHAPTER 16

The woman took her card and began to process her payment. Haven was tired of these myths stories. She was currently living in one and didn’t want more on her plate.
She smiled as they handed her the gift bag and card. Would she like it if she gives it to her? There was only one date left and for this time Haven decided that Amber should pick the venue. Even if it didn’t work out she just wanted Amber to have something of hers.
Haven continued her window shopping and stopped. She was being followed and for a long time. Who would dare follow her on a day like this? She looked around but her shadows were nowhere to be found. She smiled and thought of an idea. She was the Viper, a very vicious woman who could do a lot damage than anyone else.
Haven left the mall and began to walk towards a deserted area. The place used to be an industrial place but was now abandoned. There were no cameras, which is why she chose the place. Even if she does anything no one will ever know.
After making sure that no one else was following; Haven stopped and turned around.
“Show yourself!” she called out.
It took less than a minute for three men to show up.
“Why are you following me and for how long?”
“That doesn’t matter. Now that you have noticed us, you leave us with no choice but to get rid of you.”
“Since you are so eager to do that, how about you tell me who sent you to do this job?” she asked nicely.
“I have heard about you but seeing you in person makes me wonder if the rumors are true.”
“What rumors?”
“It won’t matter. Get her!” the other man commanded.
Haven stood still as she watched the other two men charged towards her without any fear. Someone was out to kill her and she wanted to know who. Whoever attacks her she was going to make sure they pay double for it?
She put her gift bag down, pulled her twin Ignis’s daggers from her thighs and stood still. The daggers were passed on from one mother to another, of which she was the third mother in one thousand years and the first chosen one.
She waited for them to get near and she threw the daggers at the men and they both fell to the ground. They were groaning loudly and that was expected because her daggers were not ordinary. She looked at the man that had been giving orders.
“I don’t like you but I won’t kill you yet. How about you tell me who sent you?”
“I won’t, I will kill you first!” he said and charged towards her again.
She wasn’t going to use any weapon this time but waited for the man to arrive and she scratched him on his face.
“What did you do?”
“I scratched you and now you are going to talk.”
“What was that?”
“Venom, you will die if I don’t give you an antidote. So, are you going to talk?”
“I will tell you everything, just give me the antidote.”
“I will after you tell me everything,” she said and waited.
The man knocking on the death door began to confess everything. The truth was very shocking that she felt very angry but she was going to wait.
“Come out now!” Haven called out and Lee appeared.
“You knew we were here?”
“I won’t be your master if I didn’t. You heard everything he said?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Take him and make sure he tells you everything again.”
“After that what should we do?”
“Make him so that he can never talk again to anyone else.”
“I will get ready. Will you be safe?”
“I am always safe. I have you,” Haven said and began to walk towards the two dead men. She pulled out her daggers and wiped them off with their clothes.
“Get rid of them and make sure their relatives get to bury them.”
“Yes ma’am.”
Haven put back her daggers and picked up her gift bag and began to exit the industrial place.
She was back in the CBD when she saw her coming. Tom did it, she smiled. Her was her favorite car, designed in such a way that she could find her wherever she was. She needed a name and she was taking her time to name her. The car parked right next to her and opened the driver’s door. She went in and sat.
“It’s good to see you.”
“It’s good to see you too Haven. You still haven’t found a name for me yet?”
“What should I call you?”
“It will be appropriate if you give me.”
“Fine, I will call you Queen.”
“I like that, it makes me feel special.”
“Of course, you are.”
“Where do you want me to take you now?”
“I’m tired so you can drive for now. Just take me anywhere nice.”
“I will search the places and take you there right now,” Queen said and began to search.
