Thank you for reading. I apologise for late uploads, I have had some health issues but aim to update daily now.
I watch as she rushes past me. Grabbing my phone, I hit the number.“Anything?” I hear Rooster's worried voice.“No sight yet. Rooster, she has been working for Jessie!” I hear him swear, moving I walk to her desk. Maybe there is something here that will help me find her?“Don’t leave there without Jessie, whatever you had going on with Serena clearly fucking came at us!” He hangs up, I don’t blame him, I did something and Serena wanted revenge, is Jessie the revenge?I look at the screen, and as I go to close the file I stop seeing Serena’s name. I have two options. I search for something about Jessie and hope I get lucky, or I read this. Maybe there is something I can use to get Serena to tell me where Jessie is?Closing my eyes, I click the files, slowly flicking through the images I stop. It is the same picture of Serena I saw. The guy, the ring everything is the same. I keep scrolling, stopping at a picture, and my eyes widen.“Shit.” I know I should stop, fuck, this is too close
I walk back into my office and sit down. I freaked out, I saw that file open and my heart burst into flames. He had no right to look at it, even if it was his name! No, he didn’t. It is my personal stuff, and he just went straight ahead and opened the file and looked through it all.Even in my annoyance and anger for Diesel, I couldn’t just ignore Jessie. I saw the panic and worry in his eyes, I know she is missing. So I plan to do everything to get her back safe. Hell, I have every single person looking for her and helping in some way.I removed my own guards so that there would be more people to help. Foolish, especially Diesel mentioned Rooster is on his way. I just hope he can see past his own bullshit excuses and beliefs to see I wouldn’t ever hurt Jessie.My head falls forward onto the desk, I need today to end. I need a break. Glancing back up I look at the image, guilt, and sadness flood through me. Slowly I scroll through the photos my hand stopping as I see one.My dad and J
I stay quiet, just waiting. Then I hear him, the sound of his boots hitting the floor, he isn’t going slow. Moving, I glance to look up. My eyes met his. “Look, she has everyone searching, literally everyone Rooster, it isn’t her.” I hope, hell I can’t even say it and be confident. “Someone has her Diesel, and that is my little girl.” He stands glaring at me. I go to speak but he stops me. “Weird isn’t it? You get caught up with Serena, right around the same time Jessie goes awol, no one willing to tell us where she worked, where she lived nothing. Can you say with one hundred per cent confidence Serena has no idea where Jessie is, or what is happening?” He looks at me waiting. “I can tell you Rooster, I had a glimpse into Serena’s past, the truth, and I don’t think she is anything like her father.” “You didn’t answer, so you’re not sure, there is still some doubt left?” He looks at me waiting. We turn hearing the smashing, followed by Serena’s screams. Rooster looks at me confus
Silence has filled the room since Rooster’s last statement, and he is right, Jessie isn’t hiding. If she wanted to scare her dad and Diesel, she could have just hidden in her apartment.The door swings open, and Dwayne stood with papers.“We have this, it is her phone records, she was meeting someone the night she disappeared. Also, the footage shows someone coming back with her, but we can’t see who. They are looking for anything from when they leave.”“Do you know the number?” I look at him, taking the papers.“No, some guy she called Rob, the number is just ringing.”My eyes glance down at the paper. “Shit.” I feel sick.“Shit? What is it?” Rooster looks at me annoyed.“Mr Prent is Rob. The number though, I can’t explain. I know it, but the person is gone.” I thought he had gone.“So this Mr Prent, where is he?
I stare at her shocked by her words, by her agreeing.“Don’t be a fool, don’t make deals like that!” Is she a fool? “You’re making yourself weak! You stand there and claim to be the fucking Queen, yet one issue and you roll over and be a doormat and give it all up!” Maybe I shouldn’t shout and be so blunt but who knows what they would do to the city.“It’s either that or no Jessie.” She looks at me.“Now princess, Jake wants you as well, so it's all or nothing.” I turn and look at him as he smiles.“Fine, tell him I agree, now where is Jessie?” Serena looks at him waiting.“No, she doesn’t fucking agree!” I stare at her shocked.“Diesel let her, Jessie would be safe if it wasn’t for her. Right now it is her or Jessie, and I want my baby girl back!” Rooster looks at me furiously. I would tell him but Serena clearly wan
I watch as the blood mixes with the water, before disappearing down the drain. I want to say I feel better, but I don’t. How can I? Jake is out there somewhere, and I will find him. I am now simply waiting for Dwayne, I need to know Jessie is okay. She was with Jake, and I hate to think about what he has done.Climbing from the shower I get myself dried and dressed before going back to my office. Everyone is back to their usual jobs except for a few people who are searching for Jake.“Hey.”I look up hearing Dwayne’s voice.“Well?” I hope she is okay.“She is fine. She was out with Jake apparently, and they met up with Rob, and came back here to her apartment.” “Dwayne, that doesn’t tell me shit, what happened in her apartment as it was trashed.” If she willingly brought two men back fine, but what happened after? Did she agree and set it up to make Diesel Jealous?
I leave with Rooster, but we don’t speak. I watch as he shakes his head looking at me with disapproval. It hurt, her words hurt and I would be a fool to try and act like they didn’t. Right now though, we need to see Jessie. I can ignore the hurt, ignore Serena’s words, at least until I know for sure Jessie isn’t hurt.We rush in, and I see her sitting with her arms wrapped around Dwayne, and something inside me burns. Jealously swarms me and I don’t even know why. I don’t want Jessie, yet now she is sitting cuddled against Dwayne I am jealous.She doesn’t look hurt, that is a good thing. I watch as she runs to Rooster and hugs him. He wants to scream, and tell her off, even Rooster knows though, doing it now, too soon will hurt her more. Her wild ways put her in a place where she can be harmed.“What happened?” Rooster looks at Jessie, and I watch as she sits back now, Dwayne’s arm wrapping around her body in comfort.“I was out with a guy, Jake. We were just…”“No, Jessie, I don’t wa
It has been a week, and everything has been quiet. I want to see Jessie, make sure she is okay and thank her. Every time I consider it, I hear she is still at Diesel’s place. I don’t want to go there, I don’t want to see him. I have to though. I have battled all week over whether or not I should open the folder with his name. It could give me every bit of information I need on Diesel. It could tell me why he is the way he is. It could also hold information that I never want to know. Just like my folder. I’m glad I know the truth now, but that doesn’t help. It doesn’t mean I don’t think back over and over about how things ended up. My dad knew, and I don’t know if he agreed with what Jake did to me. Hell for all I know it could have been his idea. He told me Jake disappeared, but it was clear my dad had paid him too. The payment that no doubt he hoped would keep his involvement a secret. “You know, it doesn’t matter how long you stare at the screen, at the folder. Nothing will chan
