Though I wasn't sure of the day, I could vividly remember Martha's ugly drama with the landlord had taken place on a day when almost all the tenants were home.
I had pegged that day to be a weekend, Sunday in particular but with the events of the previous nights and my lingering doubts of which weekend, I had forgotten all about the soon to happen event, only just remembering now.
Leaving the confused Lucy, I walked over to my desk, checked my phone screen and confirmed the date.
14 March, a Sunday.
"Dress up" I said to Lucy who though lost, seeing the seriousness on my face quickly did as I said.
While Lucy buttoned up, my mind went through a swirl as I thought about how to handle the current situation.
For the matter concerning Martha, though I had been caught off guard, I had already long prepared for it, my problem right now was Lucy.
In my previous life, when this drama had taken place, Lucy had not been home, and I was sure of that because I remembered that my eyes had been on the hungry search for her, wanting for a glance at her thighs.
When I had made my plans for dealing with Martha's situation, I had assumed that things would remain the same, but unfortunately, things had changed, this a clear ripple effect of my small tampering with the past.
I had just barely gotten Lucy to be my sugar baby, and whilst Valera was a potential sugar baby and well in my grasp, her mother was hanging off by a thread.
I wanted to handle each of these women individually conquering them in mind and body but the current situation placed me in a position where my plan may fall apart.
"Navigating this and keeping them apart will be troublesome, but it's still possible"
"Marcus" Lucy called waving her hand in front of my face.
"Is that what you are supposed to call me," I said glancing at the stunned woman, my words making her look away embarrassed.
"You said you forgot something, did you remember it" Lucy said trying to change the topic, watching as I pulled open a drawer.
"Yes, I did" I muttered, searching through the drawer and bringing out an envelope.
Waving over Lucy, I went out and looking down the balcony, confirming that there was chaos down in one of the hallways, I turned and handed her the envelope.
"Head to 36C and give this to a woman there. Her name is Martha."
"Martha, who's Martha" Lucy asked coming and looking over the balcony staring at the balconies below, especially the one two stories below us which had several people at its edge.
"She's a single mother who's going through some tough times. She's late on her rent and the landlord is trying to kick her out."
"And in here is the rent money" Lucy asked taking the envelop from me."
"Yeah $1000"
Leaning on the balcony railing, I calmly watched Lucy's mouth widen and close and then the woman looked at me suspiciously.
"Why don't you go yourself."
"You know how troublesome single women can be, she doesn't want help from men. So, this needs to be discreet and untraceable to me."
Seeing Lucy still a bit hesitant, I walked up to her and held her face in my hand looking straight into her eyes and ignoring her cheeks which were going red as we were well within public eyes.
[Daddy's apple activated]
"I know this is sudden, but Daddy needs your help. All you have to do is go down there like a good Samaritan and help Martha. Can you do that for Daddy."
Bright red at the moment, Lucy nodded her head and with a smile, I kissed her lips.
"Good girl"
Letting go of Lucy I watched as she shakily turned and as she took a step forward, my hand flew to her ass.
PA!!
"Soft" I muttered watching as Lucy increased her steps glaring back at me while looking around hoping nobody had seen my actions.
"System bring up Lucy's profile" I said as I walked back into my apartment, not wanting to risk Martha spotting me.
[Name: Lucy Corlea
Type: Sugar Baby
Trust:51
Affection: 73
Fear:11
Loyalty:54
Horniness:76
Comment: Adores you
NEED: To end her feelings for you.]
Though I hadn't questioned Lucy, from the events of yesterday I knew that Mike was still in the way and now looking at her profile. I knew I was right.
"Despite her stark feelings for me, she has fear in the double digits and desires to end her feelings for me.
What exactly is it about Mike that keeps her hooked to him because I know it's not guilt."
While I trusted Lucy to carry out my work, I collapsed behind my desk, booted on my computer and immediately opened Google, a single destination on my }
My brain itched with slight discomfort wishing it could read a newspaper but unfortunately, I was burning with too much curiosity at the moment and wanted things fast.
I rapidly scrolled through all the news articles of the day, my finger swiping over the mouse and then stopping when the image of a burnt house in a familiar setting appeared on the screen.
"Blazing fire Engulfs Los Angeles Home, Leaving Family displaced"
"An intense fire broke out in a Los Angeles home late last night reportedly caused by an electrical fault. The family managed to escape safely with no injuries reported..."
Silently I read the rest of the article stopping when I came across the image of a family of four, their smiling faces making this new article so believable that even I who knew the truth was nearly convinced.
Finding the article, I browsed through the web looking for news about the body I had decapacitated on the road and after seeing nothing of it, I finally sighed, rubbing my head.
"Everything has been expertly buried"
Realizing that there were forces I was ignorant of at play, though I felt my life was in danger thinking of the superhuman strength I now possessed and the twin desert eagles in my inventory, I felt confident.
"Besides I'm now a billionaire," I thought with a grin then hardened my face.
"Hey system, where's my 7% stake."
