My eyes flick over, and I shut it close cause of the bright light coming in. What time is it? I try to place a hand on my nightstand, but there's none.My eyes widened as I remembered where I was and what I did last night. My head snapped to the side, but the bed was empty, I touched the spot he was last night and it was cold, which means he left hours ago. Good, I am not ready to face that awkwardness yet.What the fuck? Did I fuck Roman last night? The man that I've been known to hate all my life?On the plus side? The man can fuckkk! I've never been laid the way he did me last night, the throbbing and soreness of what happened. Even Mason didn't let me feel this way, and that's saying something. Scratch that, that's saying a whole fucking lot.I push the covers, and it's not even a surprise that I'm naked, I don't remember wearing anything last night after that sex.I plant my legs on the ground, and it trembles at the impact, and my eyes widened. Just how rough did he go last ni
Ashanti“Ah, there you are.” my eyes look up to meet Lucien's, he's standing there casually wearing black pants and a black dress shirt like he didn't just have his men block my way.My eyes roamed the room, there are gray couches in the room, a black table, a minibar, and a black office chair.“What is the meaning of this, Lucien? You couldn't call me?” I hiss as I pull my Hands from the man holding me and throw him a glare.He smirks, " did call and texted, but you didn't answer”“That's because I was busy” I huff out, straightening my shirt.“Ah yes, busy helping Roman Escape, isn't it? A little birdie told me you were at his house minutes before my men attacked, and he was gone. Poof”.I straighten my posture "We had a deal, I will be the one killing Roman, not you”He smirks and turned towards the mini bar and pulled out a red wine. “Wanna drink?”“No”“It's a shame, this wine is one of the best,” he says as he pours the wine into his glass. “Tell me, Ashanti, why did you save him
Ashanti“So, what's the update?” I say as I follow him through the hallway, pushing every thought about Roman away.I remind myself we're different and there's no need to overreact right now. Yes, we fucked, but that's about it, I'm grown, he's grown, and we did what we wanted. Case closed. Right?“Roman was right, they weren't talking because we didn't have anything over them.” I followed him and listened as he speaks carefully. “So I did research, and we found Levi's family”I nod, “Okay, does he know?”He shakes his head, “Not really, Marcus or whatever that big guy's name is was here, and he went to take the family away for us to use”My heart breaks because I stand strongly against this, but if it's the only thing we have to resort to, then fine.“Marcus was here? For how long?”“Not long, he just came, talked to Roman, and left”“Okay, where are we going? This isn't the room they were in when I was last here”.“That's because Roman suggested we separate them, that way they won't
Ashanti“So, what are we going to do now?” Marcus asks.We are sitting in the living room at Caleb's warehouse. Roman is sitting opposite me, with Marcus at his side and Caleb is sitting behind the desk that has a computer, and I'm standing leaning on the wall.“Find Rafael.” Caleb says simply, “The location Levi gave is like two blocks away from here, you can go there and take him to the same place but in a separate room”.I nod, “I want to be the one to question Rafael”“No. You might kill him”. “If I wanted to kill him, Caleb, I would've started with Ric, I would like to be the one to question him because I have unfinished business”“I know. A business you'll finish, but right now, let me and Marcus do the questioning. You can Roman can brainstorm how to figure how the fucker”!I glance at Roman, who has been extremely quiet and staring into space. Feeling my stare, he looks up and meets my eye before looking away.“Okay. Where will we be staying?”“At the same house Roman, Lucien
Ashanti“They found Rafael” I turn sharply at the sound of Roman's voice. We're back at my safe house, Caleb and Marcus took some men to capture Rafael two hours ago, and now it's 8 pm.“What are they doing with him?” I ask, as my eyes take in Roman, his hair is tied into a man's bun, and he's wearing a blue shirt and black Jeans. One that actually fits.Look like Marcus kept his promise and indeed brought some clothes back.“They're taking him to the warehouse”“They're separating them, right?”He nods, “Yes, and Marcus has gone to his woman to hold her until he talks”“Good.”He nods and turned to go inside when I blurt out “I'm going to the city”He stiffens and turned to me, “What for?”“To meet some friends. We're going to need people if we will fight Lucien. I have a few loyal friends I can count on”.“I'll come with you”“You don't need to” “I'm coming,” He says flatly, leaving no room for arguments.“Okay,” I say as I turn to walk to the door, I pick up my black coat hanging
Caleb“That's the house right there,” I say, tipping my head to the house opposite us.“Are you sure?” Marcus asks, peering over the monitor in my hand.“Yes, what are we going to do?” I ask, rolling my eyes and shutting the mini laptop while keeping my eyes on the house, that is a decent house from what I can see.Bricks walls, a red roof, the front lawn is paved and the grass has just been lowered and there are no cars in the parking lot.“We wait, I don't see a car on the lawn” “Okay, sergeant,” I say with an eye roll, turning and walking towards the driver's seat and lowering it as I sit in it quietly.Marcus lean on the car door and folded his hands, “if you stand outside like that, you're going to scare him away, you know that, right?” “I wasn't planning on staying here, unlike you, I am observing the environment, for any road he might use to escape”“Ah okay. Do your thing then” I open the laptop and begin to look at different surveillance surrounding Roman's building.With Lu
Ashanti“So that's what happened” Caleb finishes as he looks at me and Roman with a stupid smirk on his face.I can't even find it in myself to be embarrassed right now, the only source I had for knowing who has been tormenting my life.“He didn't give any identity?” I ask, still in shock.“No” Marcus answers, “He was pretty keen on ending his life and protecting his family, they're all saying the same thing; their boss is dangerous.” He says, looking at me, “Which could only mean one or two things”.“What?” Roman asks, standing calmly on the other end of the room. “It's someone with money and enough power to influence someone like that, or it's someone who is corny and has enough arms at his disposal”“What's the difference?” Caleb asks curiously.“Really? You don't know what the difference is?” Marcus asks, his tone dripping with annoyance. “It doesn't matter, what matters is we find this man and have enough people on our side to help us”“Speaking of helping, who did you guys go t
“I'm going to kill him” I scoff, “Get in line”I had just gotten done explaining what happened to Caleb, and he's fuming. Save to say, I'm not the only one who wants his head.“I'm not getting in no fucking line. I'm bypassing everything and reaching him faster and quicker than everyone else”.I take in a deep breath and exhale, “Calm down Caleb, I'm fine” I say as I drive through the city, heading toward Lucas's place. “Yes, alive after you said you made a fucking deal with someone you don't know!! What if it's a trap?”“I survived today, didn't I?” he doesn't answer, “I'll be fine. Besides, he doesn't seem like the type of man to play someone”“Fine, but I'm handling Jackson whether you like it or not”“Fine by me. If I handle him, his spirit won't have a place to stay when it leaves the earth. I thought because he was grieving, he could have free passes, but it's enough”!“Agreed, are you coming back?”“Not yet, I'm going to see Lucas”“Who the fuck is Lucas?”“Someone you don't k
