"It was Romano who sent me. Romano!" The man screams. Aiden stands straight and shoots him in between his eyes."That was easy." He comments as he places the gun on the table beside him and squats in front of the fresh corpse. I can still hear the man's echo everywhere but I try so hard to focus on what Aiden is doing. He seems to be looking for something. He turns the head and examines the bloody neck. I see something that appears to be a tattoo that Aiden looks at intently before standing while cussing."Fucking Romano!" He punches the table behind him and I wince. "Who's Romano?" Aiden looks at me as if just realizing I'm here."An old friend. Now a backstabber. I'll be leaving in a few hours. Make sure you have Paul and the men I'll assign you at all times. You'll be staying here for the time being. I'm afraid you can't meet your family and friends for now until I settle this. As for the club, I'm sure you don't have to go there every day. You can hire someone to take care of eve

Alexandra's POVIt's been seventeen hours since I last saw Aiden. I hosted the show even though anyone could see how my mind was all over the place. That was until the first break when Troy gave me an earful of words I would rather not repeat then followed by comfort. After, he and I went to a cute coffee shop next to the company's building and talked for an hour until I decided to go back home. And by home, I mean Aiden's house. Paul dragged me to Aiden's place as instructed by his don. No threat can break that man, I swear.In his house, his staff has treated me like some royalty since I arrived. It's a little bit overwhelming and so I've been trying to keep myself busy in Aiden's room as I look at my emails and the reports from the club that Bob, the head of staff from the club has sent me. He is really good at his work.My phone vibrates and I immediately pick it up, hoping that it is Aiden but instead I find an email notification. Two emails notificat

"You're cute." Sean mocks as he walks closer to me. He stands right in front of me. I don't show any reaction. "Sweet Alex. Now that you are fucking the don you think you have power? You think you are the big bad lion? You are still the scared kitten to me. The kitten that was afraid of its own shadow. Don't dare to threaten me Alex. You made a deal and you have to keep it.""I will only if you bring back Kelly.""Don't overestimate your power Alex. I could just decide to form an alliance somewhere else.""Aiden doesn't need you. You need him.""Actually he does. I'll wait for both of you to realize that. Go be a good girl and go to that car, my men will deliver you safely to your lover boy and I'll deal with Kels." He raises his hand and my arm is yanked. I turn and follow the man to another car. I sit in it and look at Sean give out some instructions to his men just as the car starts moving."Where are you taking me?" I ask as I look ar

When I get in the kitchen, I find Sean eating a sandwich and a glass of juice, Oliver standing at the end of the counter glaring at him as he sips on his glass of water."Oliver, can I talk to you?" He nods and gets out of the kitchen. "Just a minute." I tell him before going to the chef that I've seen a couple of times here."Hi. Could you prepare my friend something light like some soup and bread? And some hot milk or coffee? Thanks." The lady nods and that is my cue to leave the kitchen.I find Oliver standing in the living room, looking at his phone. "Hi." I start. He switches it off and looks at me. "What's your plan?" I ask but he only scoffs as he looks away."I have to seat here and babysit the bunch of you. That's the plan." He shrugs but anyone can see the irritation on his face. I decide to take a different approach."How is my sister?" My sister, Naomi decided to leave and take a break away from everything. Her cosmetics compa

By the time I wake up, it is at four a.m. and Kelly is still asleep but you can hear her mumble and cry from time to time. I watch her for about five minutes as I try whispering soothing words.That is until she starts crying, calling Sean's name to help her. Sean told me he had found her in a room with torn clothes and had to try to convince her that he's was there to protect her. I rub her back soothingly until she calms down and that is when I get up and start preparing for the day.Kelly and I will be going to my house where I'll take care of her but first, I have to take her to the hospital to have the tests needed as suggested by the doctor.I go to Aiden's room and get into the warm shower after brushing my teeth. Ten minutes later, I'm done. Feeling fresher and livelier. I walk into the closet in only a towel and smile when I see that the clothes are already cleaned and placed appropriately. I might have t-shirts here but I go for Aiden's and one of my sweatpants. I tie my hai

"You want me to come in with you?" I ask Kelly but she shakes her head negatively. "I'll be fine." She answers with a small smile. I squeeze her hand once and release it. She walks through the door where the nurse waits for her. When the door is shut behind them, I sit on the metallic chairs next to me. About five minutes later, I start pacing around, think about a lot of things and who I have to call. I don't even know how my parents are. I haven't even checked the club and I'm sure Troy is so mad right now. I check the closed doors for a second and decide to go to the parking lot and look for Paul."Hey, Paul. I need another favor to ask for." He raises an eyebrow encouraging me to go on. "I need a new phone and I believe you know where to find one, yes?" I ask as I open my purse to take out my credit card."Yeah. I have a friend who has this business. What type do you need?" I tell him to buy the best android they have and I can work with effectively.
Red Flags Thirty Six
Kelly had been given some antibiotics and pain killers before we left the hospital. Paul had bought a new phone for me and I hadn't wasted a second before transferring everything to it. The first people I called were my parents who told me that they were fine and promised to go have our usual Friday dinner together. I had to excuse Aiden with a lie about work.Second, I called Troy and told him I was feeling really sickCalla played it off saying it was his ego talking. I believed her, but I had a different feeling. Right now, I'm lyi
Red Flags Thirty Seven
At seven sharp Thursday, I am woken up by a kick against my abdomen. I grunt in pain as I open my eyes and glare at a sleeping Kelly. I see her face hold a pained emotion before a laugh comes out as her eyes flutter open."Good morning sunshine." She says sweetly but my glare intensifies and she lets out a dramatic gasp. "I forgot that you're not a morning person when you have your periods." I don't say anything before she moves back slowly."You know what? Just go back to sleep and I'll make your tea as you like it. Do you need any more painkillers? Chocolate? Anything? No? Okay bye." She gets out of bed and walks faster than I've seen her in the couple of days. As soon as she's out of my sight, I let out a full blown smile seeing a glimpse of my friend. She's not there yet but this is progress and anyone can see how much she's trying.My headache is bearable that I don't need any painkillers to survive and so far I haven't felt any back pain. I lie back
