Lily’s pov
The more I thought about my father taking my baby the angrier I would get. He was truly manipulative and he never wanted me to find my baby. He left me to rot in my own hell. He made sure every loose end was tied and burned never to be reopened.
Although he was a shrewd business man, I could be an even bigger shrewd business woman. The apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.
I sat back on the sofa and tossed my phone. This flight would give me enough time to think and to plan out my strategy alone.
I really hope that last night with Cadence being Mistress helped her realize the confidence and strength she possess. She reminds me so much of myself. She has a great future ahead of her especially in the area she will be persuing. I am willing to help her as much as I can because I still feel this connection towards her and I want her to be the best.
I really did miss Ben too, oh hell James. He kept his identify a secret for so long. I was still trying to figure out if I was hurt or angry. I could tell him anything and he never judged. I was willing to meet him halfway. Deep down I still loved him like that foolish sixteen year old girl and when I got back to New Orleans we would sit down and talk.
As I looked out the window I thought about the call I received a few weeks ago from an old friend. He told me that a company called Ricon was trying to undercut me on some of my contracts I had in Argentina and Chile.
This company was small change but as the years went by, they had become competitive. It was a construction company started by the one and only George Mayer, III.
When I heard the name I cringed.
Bernard had told me about Ricon and that he had incriminating information on the owners. He had proof of their criminal activities and as soon as I returned it would be mine. I thought since most of the family was deceased I would never hear from them again. Now there was a new generation thinking they could seek revenge on me, well they had another thing coming.
I would bankrupt them until they had nothing. I would go in and take what was left and buy it for pennies on a dollar. They wouldn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. This time each member of their debacle family would be ruined and begging at my feet for forgiveness as I laughed and squash them under my red bottom shoes.
Bradford Cole would get his due. He was brought in as client under false pretenses and I had a feeling he had something to do with the attacks of my girls. Bernard also told me that Darren Stevens worked for Bradford. How convenient? He even paid for Darren’s attorney. It was all a set up.
I had hired a team that no one knew about including Monique and Malcom. That team had been devising a plan to take over Ricon for weeks before I handed it to Monique and now it was time to put the nail in the coffin.
That family had ruined my life all those years ago and was still trying to ruin it but I was a true Monroe and when opportunity reared it’s head I was going to take advantage of it.
My phone rang. I looked down and saw Bernard Winston calling.
"Yes?"
"I got the evidence. I will meet you at your home in Uptown when you land."
"Thank you Bernard. I owe you."
"You have helped me numerous times and this was nothing. I want to see them go down." We hung up and I went back to looking out the window.
When my feet touched down in New Orleans, the Mayer family will wished that they never crossed Lilly Monroe.
Marci POV
Katie and Rachel never showed up last night. I had tried calling them all day and night and it would go straight to voicemail. Katie and Rachel were always inseparable. They were frequent fixtures in the dungeon and they completely loved sex. This was their full time job and they made lots of money.
They were both making a lot more than the average escort. They both were divas and their lifestyles reflected it. They were both gorgeous and clients would go head over heels to have them. Their calendars stayed filled with only two nights a week off.
I peeked through the apartment window and everything looked fine. I saw a car pull up and it was Gunter and a short stout man.
They both walked up and the short man unlocked the door. The three of us walked in and an odor hit us.
"Stay here," Gunter said as I and the apartment manager stood in place. Gunter walked to the back. A few seconds later he was on his phone.
"I have a 187 at 3489 Maryland Drive apartment 446," he said walking back in the room.
I looked at him strange. After a few more minutes he hung up.
He turned to the apartment manager. "Mr. Harris is there a security camera that could have capture who could have been at this apartment?"
"Yes, in the main office," he said.
"Wait Gunter what is going on?"
"They are dead. Katie and Rachel are both dead."
I felt my knees going out. "No, that can’t be true."
"I’m sorry but they are."
We heard the police and EMS pulling up. Gunter lead me to the sofa and I sat. This was just too much. What was truly going on? First Lauren now Rachel and Katie.
"Who is doing this?"
"Lilly mentioned a Bradford Cole. Does that name sound familiar?" He asked me.
"Yes, he is a client."
"I am going to need his information."
"Do you think he may have something to do with this?"
"I don’t know but we will soon find out. Come on let’s get you out of here. You don’t need to see this."
He escorted me out the apartment and back to my car.
"I will meet you back at Lilly’s house," he said.
