FRANKIEI put my phone back into Stacy’s purse and look at her. She is talking to some attendant. This place is very expensive. I wonder why she insists on us shopping here. She is fun to hangout with. We have been up and down the whole day and I’m starting to get worried. Trey will be mad at me and this doesn’t help at all.I walk back to where they are and she gives me a grin, showing me some crop top.“This will look perfect on you. Try it.” She hands it to me with a grin.I run my fingers on the fabric and look at the price tag, widening my eyes at her.“What Frankie?”“This is expensive. I can’t take it?”“And so? We are using Trey’s card.”“He will flip. I don’t want issues.”“He won’t. He didn’t give me a price range and it’s nothing to him. Come on Frankie, how much money do you think my brother has? He has a lot. This is nothing.”“I don’t know.”“Try it on.” I shrug and walk to the changing room. She follows me but I don’t tell her off. After all, I’m not interested in her.

My alarm goes off making me groan in frustration. I reach for my phone sleepily and snooze it. I don’t like this. I'm still sleepy but I can’t afford to continue sleeping because my boss is a jerk. I struggle to open my eyes and get out of bed sleepily. I strip naked and walk into the bathroom. I turn the faucet on and let the cold water drip down my body. It helps me wake up completely.This place sucks. My boss sucks and I can’t afford to be late. I take a quick shower and walk out of the bathroom.I style my hair into a neat ponytail and put on the sucking uniform. I look at myself in the mirror and walk out. I walk down the hallway and into the kitchen, widening my eyes at the person seated on one of the bar stools.It’s Amara. What is she doing here? How did she get here? “Good morning sweetheart? Look like you have seen a ghost.” She says with a sneer. She crosses her legs and gives me a grin. A goofy grin.“Good morning too. What are you doing here?” I ask moving to the count

He leads me up the stairs to the first floor and through a door leading to the balcony.“Who are you?”“You don’t know me.” He says and pulls his mask off. I have never seen him before but who am I kidding? I don’t know the people in Trey’s circle.“So?”“Saw what the lady did to you. I know she can be mean. Looked miserable and I wanted to get you out of there. I’m Abel.”“Thanks a lot. I’m Frankie.”“What are you doing being a help at Mr. Jones house? You should be somewhere else.”“Like?”“Like in my company. I have openings beautiful.”“Didn’t make it to college.”“That’s not an issue. I’m sure there is something you can do. Unless you are interested in continuing working here.”“Nope. I don’t want to be here but some circumstances made me do that.”“Great.” He digs into his pocket and takes out his wallet. He takes a business card and hands it to me. “call me.”“Abel holdings?”“Yap. That’s my company. Trey is my friend.”“Great. Thanks.” I say and notice another masked guy wal

I lean against the hospital wall and slide until I’m seated on the floor. Stacy does the same and takes my hands in hers.“I have lost her completely. I have lost the woman I love.”“You should have listened to me. You acted angrily and see where we are. You have lost your baby and Frankie.”“I'm such an ass.” I run my hands on my face and swallow bitterly. “I hurt her because of money.”“All will be okay. She will get through this but don’t abandon her. Don’t give up on her. She is worth fighting for.”“She hates me. She doesn’t want anything to do with me.”“All that will pass. Let’s go home. The event is still ongoing.”“Fuck the event Stacy. What matters is in there.”“Give her time Trey. You can’t stay if she doesn’t want you to.” She stands and holds out her hand to me. She helps me up and leads me out of the hospital. We came here in Aiden’s car so we have to take a cab.Why am I like this? Why did I hurt her this bad? All for what? Six million dollars? It’s nothing compared t

TREYI shift on the bed uncomfortably and scoff in irritation. I have lost count of how much turning I have done so far. I can’t sleep. I don’t remember the last time I slept well. Reason?Frankie Thomas. It’s a whole week since I heard from her. Since she left with Aiden David. The guy I hate so much took my woman. It’s my fault. I'm to blame for all this.My calls go unanswered. She doesn’t text me back no matter the countless texts I have sent her. She even changed her number but I managed to get it.I’m not giving up on her. Trey Jones doesn’t give up on something he wants and Frankie happens to be one of them. She brought the best in me. She made me happy. She made me change in some aspects and now I have lost her because of Greg. He just brought out the worst in me and as I said before, he is going to pay. Even if I do that with the last penny, he is worth it.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and dial Aiden’s number. This is business. I know he is interested in Greg to
