It took me a beat to understand who the man before me was. I never met the leader of the Bricks, but he paid me handsomely to take out Spencer and Big Teddy. I extended my hand to him expecting Don Anders to shake it, but instead he turned my hand over and kissed each one of my knuckles individually. The feel of his lips on my skin skeeved me out so I quickly withdrew my hand while my mother’s eyes shot daggers at me.Don Anders scolded at my mother and then smiled at me. “Do not worry my dear, you have been through so much I understand your hesitation and reluctance towards me. You will learn over time to trust me this I promise you. In fact, while you are here, I would like to say, partly for what you have done for me, from this day forward I consider myself to be your employee, whatever you need I will provide or do. Of course, that means anyone who works for me now answers to you as well.”The look on my mother’s face was hysterical. I am sure mine did not look much better. I was
Natasha: I was super excited because that night Tony and I were actually going on a date. He would not tell me where he was taking me, all he said was to dress up. I was going through my clothes and was not satisfied with anything I had. I ga.ve up and decided to go to Simple Etiquette. Though a lot of brides and grooms to be bought their wedding outfits there they also sold a wide variety of everyday gowns and dresses. When I arrived and walked in, I was surprised and annoyed to find Ruby’s friend Dede there. Of course, as soon as she saw me, she came walking over to talk to me. From what I remember Emma saying was no one had seen Dede in a while, but I guess she was just laying low. “Hi, your Natasha, Emma’s friend, right? What brings you here?” She asked me casually. Not wanting to be rube I said, “Oh hi Dede. Nothing much I have a date tonight and could not decide on something to wear so I thought I would get something new.” Something about her seemed off but I could not put m
Emma: I went over to my aunt and uncle’s house. I pleased to find out that my uncle had been released from the hospital. He always liked me more than my aunt Pamela so I knew with him here I would definitely get the information I was after. After my aunt let me in, she led me to the living room and ordered her maid to go fetch us some tea. I found her rather rude to talk to the people she hired the way she did like they were slaves rather than the hired help. My uncle and aunt looked horrible at the moment. I got why he looked the way he did he was recovering from a gunshot wound, but my aunt looked worse than him if that was possible. “Emma dear, I was so relieved to hear that you woke from your coma. How are you feeling child?” My uncle James asked me concerned. “Please uncle, I am just fine you are the one I am worried about.” I said as sweetly as I could. My uncle chuckled and aske me, “What brought you over here today? Not that we are not happy to see you, just shouldn’t you b
Natasha: I had no idea I could move so quickly. Some internal force came over me and I was on the waiter before the knife could be used to harm Tony. I was on top of him as Tony punched him square in the jaw. Tony and I grabbed the waiter and forced him into the men’s bathroom. People were looking at as with scared expressions on their faces, but we could not pay them any mind at that time. “Who the fuck are you, and why did you just try to kill me?” Tony asked with a pissed off tone. I could tell he was holding back his anger with difficulty. “Of course, you would not remember me you piece of shit! A few years ago, I hired you and another guy, Kyle I think his name was, to help me get rid of my wife but you assholes turned your back on me!” I really hoped Tony had a good reason to dick this man over. One of the most important things to me is loyalty. Tony started laughing and said, “Ah I remember now. Your Fran right? Look, we took her side because we found out you abused her, and
Natasha:“What do you mean who is this? You are answering my boyfriend’s phone who the fuck are you?” I said angrily. The man on the other end of the line laughed before saying, “Do not worry about your boyfriend you won’t be seeing him again!” Then the phone went dead. I tried calling back, but it went straight to voicemail. I called Emma and told her what happened, and she said she would get Kyle to track him down. I won’t lie, I was freaking out. Tony and I may not have been together long, but I was already madly in love with him.After we hung up, I was heading to my car when I noticed Ruby standing with an officer. They were laughing and touching each other. At that moment Ruby looked up and saw me, her face turning furious. She turned to the officer and said something. He looked at me with a frown before Ruby and him walked away. Shaking my head, I got in the car and drove back to my house.About an hour after I returned home Tony showed up. I was relieved that he was okay, but
Emma: Lucas showed up a few hours after I spoke with him on the phone. From his expression on his face, I could tell he was very upset with himself for telling Ruby everything, I seriously hope it is tearing him up inside. I still could not fathom why he would do it. Sure, he said he was trying to end our feud but me being me I did not buy it. “Hello Lucas. So, you say you have some information on Ruby, once you give it to me are you going to go run off and tell her what we plan to do with it?” I said sarcastically. I could see the pain in his eyes when he heard my words, but truth be told I could not give two shits about his feelings. He crossed me and I do not tolerate that type of deception. “Ma’am I am so sorry for what I did. If I knew you were going to wake up, I never would have done it. I will never speak to her again. I will not discuss anything pertaining to you with anyone unless you tell me otherwise. The information I have for you today is the whereabouts of where Ruby
Natasha: I was frozen in place staring down at officer Smiths body that slumped on to the floor. He was a corpse. I could see part of his brain matter and the amount of blood coming from his head had my stomach doing back flips. Tony looked just as stunned as I felt. I was guessing that he did not realize he hit him as hard as he did. This was bad. It was one thing killing someone no one really cared about but this was an officer of the law. Not to mention Ruby sent him here and when he did not report back to her what would happen then? My head was spinning with question after question while I continued to stare at the corpse growing colder by the second. Tony walked over and started shaking my shoulders knocking me out of the trance I appeared to be under. “Focus Natasha. Go grab me your shower curtain so we can wrap him in it. Also grab a few sheets and some duct tape. I quickly got out of my chair and rain upstairs. I yanked the shower curtain from its rings making a mental note
