Ashanti“They found Rafael” I turn sharply at the sound of Roman's voice. We're back at my safe house, Caleb and Marcus took some men to capture Rafael two hours ago, and now it's 8 pm.“What are they doing with him?” I ask, as my eyes take in Roman, his hair is tied into a man's bun, and he's wearing a blue shirt and black Jeans. One that actually fits.Look like Marcus kept his promise and indeed brought some clothes back.“They're taking him to the warehouse”“They're separating them, right?”He nods, “Yes, and Marcus has gone to his woman to hold her until he talks”“Good.”He nods and turned to go inside when I blurt out “I'm going to the city”He stiffens and turned to me, “What for?”“To meet some friends. We're going to need people if we will fight Lucien. I have a few loyal friends I can count on”.“I'll come with you”“You don't need to” “I'm coming,” He says flatly, leaving no room for arguments.“Okay,” I say as I turn to walk to the door, I pick up my black coat hanging
Caleb“That's the house right there,” I say, tipping my head to the house opposite us.“Are you sure?” Marcus asks, peering over the monitor in my hand.“Yes, what are we going to do?” I ask, rolling my eyes and shutting the mini laptop while keeping my eyes on the house, that is a decent house from what I can see.Bricks walls, a red roof, the front lawn is paved and the grass has just been lowered and there are no cars in the parking lot.“We wait, I don't see a car on the lawn” “Okay, sergeant,” I say with an eye roll, turning and walking towards the driver's seat and lowering it as I sit in it quietly.Marcus lean on the car door and folded his hands, “if you stand outside like that, you're going to scare him away, you know that, right?” “I wasn't planning on staying here, unlike you, I am observing the environment, for any road he might use to escape”“Ah okay. Do your thing then” I open the laptop and begin to look at different surveillance surrounding Roman's building.With Lu
Ashanti“So that's what happened” Caleb finishes as he looks at me and Roman with a stupid smirk on his face.I can't even find it in myself to be embarrassed right now, the only source I had for knowing who has been tormenting my life.“He didn't give any identity?” I ask, still in shock.“No” Marcus answers, “He was pretty keen on ending his life and protecting his family, they're all saying the same thing; their boss is dangerous.” He says, looking at me, “Which could only mean one or two things”.“What?” Roman asks, standing calmly on the other end of the room. “It's someone with money and enough power to influence someone like that, or it's someone who is corny and has enough arms at his disposal”“What's the difference?” Caleb asks curiously.“Really? You don't know what the difference is?” Marcus asks, his tone dripping with annoyance. “It doesn't matter, what matters is we find this man and have enough people on our side to help us”“Speaking of helping, who did you guys go t
“I'm going to kill him” I scoff, “Get in line”I had just gotten done explaining what happened to Caleb, and he's fuming. Save to say, I'm not the only one who wants his head.“I'm not getting in no fucking line. I'm bypassing everything and reaching him faster and quicker than everyone else”.I take in a deep breath and exhale, “Calm down Caleb, I'm fine” I say as I drive through the city, heading toward Lucas's place. “Yes, alive after you said you made a fucking deal with someone you don't know!! What if it's a trap?”“I survived today, didn't I?” he doesn't answer, “I'll be fine. Besides, he doesn't seem like the type of man to play someone”“Fine, but I'm handling Jackson whether you like it or not”“Fine by me. If I handle him, his spirit won't have a place to stay when it leaves the earth. I thought because he was grieving, he could have free passes, but it's enough”!“Agreed, are you coming back?”“Not yet, I'm going to see Lucas”“Who the fuck is Lucas?”“Someone you don't k
>≥>>Sexual Contains in the chapter.... Please Skipp to the next one>>>AshantiI park my car and look at the tall building and sighHere we go…It's the next day, and I'm here to see Mason. I walked confidently into the building and greeted the woman being the desk, looked like she was expecting me. She beamed at me and pointed to the elevator.My feet thud on the ground and I almost smirk at the look some of these people are giving me, I'm wearing some black leather pants, black boots, a black shirt tucked in, and my black leather jacket.My hair is wrapped into a ponytail and I probably look like some of these villains out of a W*****d story.I smirk at them and enter the elevator and press the PH among the button and watch as the door goes up to the penthouse. The elevator door alerts me of my arrival, and again Joe and His colleagues are here.“Ah look who it is, Joe” His eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything “I'm here to see your boas, Josiah”He smirks “You like getting on my
RomanI've been pacing and in deep thought ever since she left, I know she went to see him.Mason.Fuck knows what they're doing right now!I don't even have the right to be jealous or angry when she's not mine, especially when we're on the verge of war.But why does it feel like she's mine? It can't be just sex between us, can it?I know she feels whatever this is, I can't be alone in this. I see the way she watches me when she thinks I'm not looking.“You're going to wear a hole in that ground if you don't stop what you're doing” I turned to see the smug look on Caleb's face, “Why don't you just call her?”I scowl, “Who said it's about her?”“Oh don't play me for a fool Roman, I see the way you look at her, and her you”I simply raise my eyebrows, refusing to say anything.“It's okay if you would rather not admit it but hear me okay”“What do you want?” I ask with a heavy exhale. There's an ache in my head and I really don't want to be talking right now.“That girl has gone through s
AshantiTomorrow is the day, I can feel and taste the revenge in the air.It's 9 pm.Lucien called me earlier to remind me of our meeting and I confirmed it… Strangely he didn't send me the location, he said he hasn't decided where yet, and he'll let me know where to go.Marcus has managed to gather about fifteen men loyal to Lucien, while Mason brought ten, He says he didn't want to bring too many of his men to alert people of something, and it reaches Lucien, which is understandable.Roman has been quiet and distant, and I hate that he wouldn't talk to me about anything apart from the plan. I don't blame him, but I don't understand why he's mad, I'm not his.We're having a general meeting today, Every man that sworn to go with us has been alerted of the meeting… I'm currently waiting on Caleb to reach me.He's yet to identify who leaves without entering, it's either Lucien leaves another way or there are just so many guests at that damn bidding. Either way, I want answers.I'm wearin
Ashanti“I just received the location from Lucien” The guys looked at me, “Where is it?”“About three hours' drive from here. It's further out of the city” I answer Marcus as he watches me closely.Caleb is currently at the safe house with Lee, while Angel and the rest of them are at the warehouse since yesterday.“He sure has this plan, doesn't he?”“He does, are you guys ready?” A silly question to ask, since we've been ready about eight this morning.We took a bath, had breakfast, and been waiting for his message. Strangely, Roman has been looking at me differently since last night, I don't want to think about what it is, but I'm intrigued.“Can we at least talk before we go?” Roman asks as he walks up to stand before me.I peer over his shoulders to find Marcus looking at us, his eyes meet mine before he looks away.“Sure” I nod as I turn to head to my bedroom, his quiet but sure footsteps follow me.He walks into the room after me, the thudding of the door closing and the lock be
