Men with guns and knives. I was yet to recover from the little breakdown I had earlier.Barbie was long gone and my crutch had arrived long ago."Hello, You the maid? I need a glass of white Margarita." He said. Quick." He added."I'm not the maid. And Lisa's busy. Get it yourself." I was feeling bitchy for no reason.He raised a brow and looked up at me."Are you crazy?" He asked."No one's crazy here, you can see that behind that counter." I pointed at the counter behind the chair he sat.I was using a crutch and he was asking me to get him a drink? It suddenly made me recall my life as a bartender.He grabbed a pillow from the chair and threw it at me.Well, it wasn't that firm but it made me stagge

𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 23 𝑅𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑑....KatherineHours passed and we were stuck on the other side of the mansion. Not that I hated it.I hated the fact that my leg wasn't getting any better to go indulge in the fight.Well, I found out that there was a gym.... underground.A well-equipped gym that had everything a gym was supposed to have.I stood up from the wheelchair and dragged my other foot to the punching bag."Use this." Lisa threw the punching gloves to me and I wore it on."Come on Lisa. Trust me and everything will be good. Just throws a punch and everything will be alright.When Lisa kept swaying around, I began to punch harder.I kept punching the bag with force and Power, releasing my frustration and anger toward it.I kept punching hard, dragging my aching leg as I did.When my eyes went to the clock, it was already past four in the evening.God! I was so tired."Your turn," I said, turning to Lisa who looked like a scared

He wanted me to deliver some message to some tricky guy and then grab something and drop it over at Thatcher's bar. But could I do it? No!How the hell was I to leave?The phone buzzed in my phone for the umpteenth time and I shook, knowing who the hell could call like that.When I looked up, it was an unknown number. I picked it up, fingers gripping the phone ever so tightly."Is this funny Scar? You better pray I fucking don't find you at T's." I hissed out, anger dripping from me."Return the cell phone to my room, Now." And that was it.I dropped the phone with a little gasp when I realized who it had been.When I stood in front of his room, I dreaded to open the fucking door.I called him Scar. He's going to know something about the guy and had Scar called him? Or fucking texted him, cause

Lisa walked in, cause the door was open."Yes, Lisa?" I couldn't help but giggle at the end."Did something good happen? I came to your room last night and could not find you." She said and as if she had put the pieces together, her eyes widened and she sat on the bed."You two have settled down?" She asked.Settled down? What did that entail?I had never thought about that but I knew one day I'd be leaving Alex and everything here."You haven't thought about that, have you?" She asked and I nodded."Well, you should start thinking about it and by the way..how did it go?" She winked at me."It was nice. The night was warm." A smile broke out on my lips and Lisa chuckled."You deserve it, ma'am. ThThewo of you would make a good coup

I asked, clearing the awkwardness and tension that had filled the room away."How's your ankle?" He didn't look like he came to waste any time at all."It's fine." I made it easier for him to leave.He frowned. "Just fine?" "Oh, and it's perfectly okay." I pointed it out again."And?" He raised a brow."Thank you for the cat." I thanked him and he nodded, his eyes moving to the cat.He made to hold the cat and it went to him so perfectly.Alex in a suit was amazing. But Alex in a suit, rubbing a cat was the best thing I had ever seen."You look so Handsome with that cat in your arms." I couldn't help but compliment them. "Let me
