WARNING! TRIGGER OF VIOLENCE AND RAPE IN THIS CHAPTER! PLEASE SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IF IT IS A TRIGGER FOR YOU.!************Ashanti“Tell me again, why are you working with this" I lift my head at the sound of his voice” with this Lucien guy?”I look across the table at Caleb, where he's been working on his computer for some minutes now. Apparently, my explanation wasn't clear enough for him.“I thought I told you my reasons?” I tilt my head curiously.“You did. I don't see any one of them good enough,” he lay back in his chair and cross his hands under his chain “Convince me”.WowI scrunch my nose “Okay, he's an enemy of Roman, and he's influential, and he's resourceful"He's silent for a minute or two “So are you. You're one of the best I know at what you do. You think working with this man is the best?”That was what Roman said.“I told you about him like an hour ago, why are you bringing this up now?”“Because there's no information about this man whatsoever. No family, frien
Ashanti Disturbing Revelation
Ashanti“What if Roman isn't responsible?”I gulped half of my bottle as I pondered over Caleb's words, I can't believe he said that shit to me right after I explain what happened to me.My mind has been reeling with what Caleb said, what the fuck does he mean it doesn't add up? Shit adds up for me, my dad worked for Roman and ran, so he sent his men after them. I had to live in pain and experience so much shit because of that. Does it get deeper than that? No, it doesn't.Why would someone lie to a 10-year-old, vulnerable girl? What could she possibly do?My phone pinged with a message, but I just ignored it, like I'd been doing for 3 hours straight.Caleb and I had a heated argument—well I yelled, and he listened mostly, and tried to get me to understand right before I storm out of his office.My phone starts ringing, the name Roman flashed on the screen and I clenched my jaw, feeling the full weight of everything weighing on me.He's responsible for this. He's behind this. I chant
Ashanti Predator
Ashanti I know what it means to be prey.I lived the life of prey for seven years.Seven bloody years.When I escaped, I live a life of prey, looking over my shoulders, developing high sensitivity to my environment, being camouflaged, and mostly being defensive or tried to be.I'd tried to act tough and pretend I wasn't shitting in my pants, but I was, as I grew older, I realize that being a predator comes with a certain satisfaction.When you're lurking in the darkness, awaiting your prey you feel powerful, you feel satisfied when they flinch or pale when they see you, how they walk faster when they hear your footsteps. I've grown to love being a predator, which explains why I'm comfortable waiting in this darkness for him. I've made sure to disconnect his line, so he can't have access to any light when he gets here. It's been almost two hours since I arrived here and no sign of him, but that's okay. I can wait, I waited fifteen years, what's a few hours?The flash of the car lights
Ashanti An Insight
Roman I stare into the quiet night as I maul over the problems that I've been encountering lately.Two of my warehouses were burned down, and an anonymous call was made to the police.I sigh as I rub my temple.I stare into the city below, lights are illuminating the beauty of New York. I love the quiet, I've always been a child who was alone and didn't need drama and issues.I remember when I was 7 years old, my father got angry because I wouldn't push a kid back that pushed me. He called me a weakling, a disappointment, and other terrible names.Tried as I might, but it hurt, and I guess that made me rebel against him. Doing everything he didn't like to piss him off, and I like that.I like the idea of him sitting at night, pissing himself over where I'm at and what I'm doing.I'm no fool, I know what my father was involved with, but that didn't matter to me. It became my concern when my mother was killed, I was still little when it happened.I remember walking into the room and see
Ashanti Caleb
WARNING! WARNING! Trigger of violence and torture in this chapter! PLEASE SKIP IT IF IT IS A TRIGGER FOR YOU.! THANK YOU************Caleb Something isn't right.The story doesn't add up.I've listened to Ashanti story, and it's a fucked up thing for anyone to go through, but it doesn't make sense at all.First, Who could possibly take her from her parents and then kill them afterward?I haven't seen this Roman guy in person yet, but I don't think he's older than thirty-five, if my calculations are correct then someone else is pulling the strings but who?Who could benefit the most from this?I think I know where to get answers, I walk out of my office and see Lee sleeping on the couch. Ashanti won't listen to my plans to send him away from here until everything is over. She's stubborn and hot-headed. Sometimes I wondered just how similar she is to my late girlfriend. She was stubborn and loving too. She had a heart of gold, which is precisely what led to her death.When I told he
Ashanti A Talk
Ashanti I pace Caleb's office as I listen to the recording. With each word, I feel my heart shattering into so many pieces.How could someone be so cruel?That's not even what worse, I've already given Lucien the go-ahead to do whatever he pleases to Roman as long as he isn't dead, and now I hear there's a possibility that he might not be responsible?Fuck. “Ashanti, I called you to listen to this because I didn't want you to do anything you'll regret. The Story didn't add up, Roman couldn't have been of age to do all that shit you just listened to. It has to be someone older, someone with a lot more experience.”I shake my head, “Then Who? I'm lost here Caleb, I live my life for 15 years hating and plotting against this man and now I find out he might not be responsible? What I'm I supposed to do with all the hate?”"Shit” I stopped pacing as some words sunk in, “Wait, rewind that a little bit,” I say as I turn to Caleb.He nods and rewinds “Yeah, stop right there”We listen carefu

Ashanti An Escape
“Get the bedsheets in your room. We're going down”.Roman's brows lift out, “Are you out of your mind?”I smirk “Maybe, but we don't have a choice”Marcus runs towards the bedroom, not before muttering “I can't believe we're about to do this shit.”When he's gone, Roman looks at me for a second before saying, “What did you mean by they're here? Who are they?”“Not here. Not now” I say just as Marcus return with the sheets, they're bundled in his arms.“Tie the ends together, we're going to make a rope. We can't make it long to reach the ground, but we can have the opportunity to use the windows on one of the below floors to get out”,“You've done this before?” Marcus asks with uncertainty. “You'd be surprised by the things I've done,” I say as we tie the sheets together, making sure the knots are tight.“They're almost here,” Marcus says as he watches the camera, I'm certain.We don't have time, we have to work with this, I don't even think it can reach three floors below us, but that
