~Payback is a fully armored BITCH!~
-Jeremy Abiodun

"What! How DARE him! I swear, I'm gonna make him suffer for hurting my little girl!"

I just told my father about how my Jeremy's breakup went and damn! You could feel those angers seeping into your skin and weirdly I loved it. It got my adrenaline pumping and I wanted to hurt Jeremy myself.

"He is going to fucking pay!" My father spat.

Obviously, we were in public, so he wasn't throwing a tantrum! We wouldn't want to throw attention to ourselves, would we?

Wait! My father used the f-word!

I doubt he realized that.

"Shit! I used the f-word!" He muttered.

Is this just me or is my father definitely not portraying elderly traits.

He is like those old men you watch on the internet with tattoos having a good time.

And like those old men who dance quite attractively with money screaming their name.

"So, how do we deal with Jeremy?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I would handle him myself. Give me his details"he said

"No, I want in on this. That guy fucking hurt my feelings and I want to watch him break as much as I did! I've tried going slow but I'm leaving soon and this is the perfect time For PAYBACK!" I said with all the authority and seriousness I could muster at the same time trying not to attract attention.

He looked at me studiously and then kept staring straight into my eyes, I did not waver. I kept my eyes locked in his.

After what felt like the longest stare down, éver? He finally said.

"Lets have some fun bonding time before we leave, then."

.....

Today, we are kicking off our plans to mess with Jeremy.

Its 5 days before my departure to Russia and I've not talked to Shawn about it.

Its just scary, okay?

I can't stand watching him pained when I break the news to him

But, I know delaying things won't help either.

"Luna? Let's go!"

My father calls me Luna now, which is actually my real name. Meaning light or moon and that's what Selena means as well.

I would be going by my real name in Russia. My school file would stay classified.

The plan is to stay inconspicious as possible and not try to get attention to myself, just go for classes, leave and go home. It doesn't sound fun and I live for fun.

Yeah, you should expect me to break some few rules.

We're currently at a cafe where Jeremy should be coming in soon.

My father is seated alone as he awaits Jeremy's arrival while I sit with Luther who is really no fun as he keeps observing the environment.

Jeremy finally comes in, he brings out his phone and my father seems to answer a phone call.

They both make eye contact and Jeremy walks towards him and then takes a seat opposite my father's

What happens next friegthens the hell out of me.

My father gives the deathliest glare I've ever seen to Jeremy as he talks quietly but you can feel that fear grip you with every word that escapes his lips.

Of course, I can't hear him but the look on Jeremy's face was like a scared cat and you could see him shake in fear, if he could wet his pants, I swear he would have.

The Plan is going Smoothly  as EFCC officials stepped into the cafe and the entire cafe fell into silence, Jeremy caught a glimpse of them and then he gulped and you could see his eyes turn glossy.

Damnn! This was feeling too good.

Here is the thing, Jeremy is into internet fraud and we are acting like we would be handing him over to the EFCC, which like I said is, 'acting'

My father contacted him as someone offering to help promote his music.

Yes, Jeremy does music too.

When Jeremy arrives, my father starts threatening him, by lying that he was one of Jeremy's victim of Internet fraud and that he finally caught him and would be handing him to the EFCC where he would face the consequences of his fraudulent activities.

What is funny about all this, is that. Jeremy is in that category of Internet fraudsters who never gets paid because he is still a novice in the dealings

Now, Jeremy would be confused because he knows he never duped anyone of their money... Atleast, not yet.

The fake EFCC officials is to make things more real and the individuals in the cafe have been paid off to record nothing that goes on in the next few hours on their phones, because we don't want to be caught on camera and swiftly, the INTERNET.

Which brings us to what is going on now.

Jeremy drops on his knees and begins to plead with my father that he has never duped anyone, his eyes are glossy now and his sweats are dripping quite rapidly.

My father maintains his annoyed exterior and stays unperturbed.

one of the fake EFCC officials walks to Jeremy and say

"Jeremy Abiodun, you are under arrest as a suspect for Internet Fraud"

Jeremy gulps as he turns his face towards the officials and then he caught sight of me and immediately runs towards Me

"Selena, please tell them You know me, I'm not into internet fraud,  tell them... Pls tell them, I did nothing wrong." He said in a desperate plea

And damn it was amusing.

Close to how I was the day he denied knowing me to Flourish

Just like Deja vu

Except this time, I had the upper hand and I did not look as desperate as he does now.

I ain't a saint or a good girl

Jeremy shouldn't expect much from me.

Big big mistake

"Well, if you did nothing wrong, I guess your phone and maybe laptop at home would prove that you have nothing that implicates you to the allegations and besides don't drag me down this lane with you. I don't know you, At least not as a friend, remember?" I said with all smugness as I burrowed my eyes into his, hinting on the words he used when he denied and totally broke me.

His face looked totally aghast and sweat pooled on his forehead.

"Young man, you don't want to make things harder by harassing a civilian. Kindly put your hands on your head and go on your knees" one of the fake EFCC officials commanded.

"Cuff this boy and throw him into jail till the spits out every dime he stole from me!" My father yelled, playing his role perfectly.

"Selena...please tell them I am innocent, I did nothing wrong" Jeremy pleaded.

"What does my words hold in proving your innocence? Huh? Like I said I DONT FUCKING KNOW YOU!" I said feigning upset and playing my role perfectly.

"But... Sele..." Before he could say anything, one of the officials smacked his head

I don't know if that was a legal action for an officer of the law.

"Shut Up and get moving!" The officer commanded as he already cuffed him and made him step outside the cafe.

All eyes on him.

If that wasn't the worst way of getting utterly humiliated and scarred... Well, it was for me.

They would just drive him towards a place far from his home and push him out of the car.

Its better than getting him beaten up

I would have

But, I am not that bad.

Just then... My phone rang,

its Shawn...

My heart stuttered.

*********
Do you think this was a good amount of payback for Jeremy?

Or do you have something else in mind?

Please, feel free to aire your thoughts.

And I really appreciate If you would do me the honors of giving this chapter a vote.

Peace Out✌🏾
