Ashanti An Argument
AshantiI won't lie, I've been on edge since the meeting. I barely go around Lee these days, he's practically staying at Caleb's presently, which is why I'm making it official by carrying a few of his things with me.The number of detours and cars I've taken and changed can't be counted. I won't take any risk to their lives. I'm still getting the silent treatment from Caleb, he's angry, and it's understandable. If I had taken my time to read the folders and not just let my emotions get the best of me, I would've known that killing Carter and Jenkins was going to plant some bad seeds I didn't need. I'm currently parked in Caleb's underground park, practicing my speech in my head.For the last two weeks, I've been looking over my shoulders and have had Surveillance cameras surrounding my building.The parking lot is quiet, save for the opening and closing of my car door, follow by the thudding of my feet on the pavement. I click the button on the elevator and scan my right fingerprints
Ashanti Boom
AshantiThe heavy sound of my feet thudding on the pavement echoes in the quiet and dark night. It's a bit chilly which is why I'm wearing a hoodie, that I pair with black jeans and black boots. Now that I'm determined to set my plans into motion, I just need to get Lucas to understand why I need to work with Lucien. As crazy as it sounds, I would rather not start my battle with my family mad at me.I push the door open to the warehouse, and the sound of metallic music is the first thing that greets me. I don't know how Lucas can listen to all of this noise, and be able to focus on work. As I walk further in, I spot Lucas bent over putting some mechanics together.“Sup Old man” He lifts his head at the sound of my voice and grins.“Sup kid. What are you doing here?” he says as he lifts himself from the mechanics and opens his arms to pull me in for a hug. I walk forward and wrap his hands around his waist. As I lean my head on his chest, I get a whiff of his scent, which in honestly
Ashanti Roman
Ashanti“I can't even believe this is happening right now,” Roman says as he paces his living room, I arrived here a few minutes ago. “What happened?”“Someone is out to get me. Lucien, I think. Two of my warehouses were fucking burned down, police were given tips about another. The place was railed, and a few men are in police custody currently”“Aren't you worried they'll snitch out our name?”“They won't” he sounded confident.“You seem to trust those men, for all we know they are probably selling you Right now”“They won't, even if they do. They don't know me personally, and the business isn't headed by me.”“Ah, I see, so what's the plan?”“That's why you're here. I have a feeling the person is testing the waters, trying to see how I'll react and how their plans will play out. “ Nope, that wasn't my plan, but carry on “I strongly Believe Lucien is behind this”“Have you asked your men to check it?”“They did, the surveillance cameras got burned, along with every other informatio
Ashanti A Glimpse
WARNING! TRIGGER OF VIOLENCE AND RAPE IN THIS CHAPTER! PLEASE SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IF IT IS A TRIGGER FOR YOU.!************Ashanti“Tell me again, why are you working with this" I lift my head at the sound of his voice” with this Lucien guy?”I look across the table at Caleb, where he's been working on his computer for some minutes now. Apparently, my explanation wasn't clear enough for him.“I thought I told you my reasons?” I tilt my head curiously.“You did. I don't see any one of them good enough,” he lay back in his chair and cross his hands under his chain “Convince me”.WowI scrunch my nose “Okay, he's an enemy of Roman, and he's influential, and he's resourceful"He's silent for a minute or two “So are you. You're one of the best I know at what you do. You think working with this man is the best?”That was what Roman said.“I told you about him like an hour ago, why are you bringing this up now?”“Because there's no information about this man whatsoever. No family, frien
Ashanti Disturbing Revelation
Ashanti“What if Roman isn't responsible?”I gulped half of my bottle as I pondered over Caleb's words, I can't believe he said that shit to me right after I explain what happened to me.My mind has been reeling with what Caleb said, what the fuck does he mean it doesn't add up? Shit adds up for me, my dad worked for Roman and ran, so he sent his men after them. I had to live in pain and experience so much shit because of that. Does it get deeper than that? No, it doesn't.Why would someone lie to a 10-year-old, vulnerable girl? What could she possibly do?My phone pinged with a message, but I just ignored it, like I'd been doing for 3 hours straight.Caleb and I had a heated argument—well I yelled, and he listened mostly, and tried to get me to understand right before I storm out of his office.My phone starts ringing, the name Roman flashed on the screen and I clenched my jaw, feeling the full weight of everything weighing on me.He's responsible for this. He's behind this. I chant
Ashanti Predator
Ashanti I know what it means to be prey.I lived the life of prey for seven years.Seven bloody years.When I escaped, I live a life of prey, looking over my shoulders, developing high sensitivity to my environment, being camouflaged, and mostly being defensive or tried to be.I'd tried to act tough and pretend I wasn't shitting in my pants, but I was, as I grew older, I realize that being a predator comes with a certain satisfaction.When you're lurking in the darkness, awaiting your prey you feel powerful, you feel satisfied when they flinch or pale when they see you, how they walk faster when they hear your footsteps. I've grown to love being a predator, which explains why I'm comfortable waiting in this darkness for him. I've made sure to disconnect his line, so he can't have access to any light when he gets here. It's been almost two hours since I arrived here and no sign of him, but that's okay. I can wait, I waited fifteen years, what's a few hours?The flash of the car lights
Ashanti An Insight
Roman I stare into the quiet night as I maul over the problems that I've been encountering lately.Two of my warehouses were burned down, and an anonymous call was made to the police.I sigh as I rub my temple.I stare into the city below, lights are illuminating the beauty of New York. I love the quiet, I've always been a child who was alone and didn't need drama and issues.I remember when I was 7 years old, my father got angry because I wouldn't push a kid back that pushed me. He called me a weakling, a disappointment, and other terrible names.Tried as I might, but it hurt, and I guess that made me rebel against him. Doing everything he didn't like to piss him off, and I like that.I like the idea of him sitting at night, pissing himself over where I'm at and what I'm doing.I'm no fool, I know what my father was involved with, but that didn't matter to me. It became my concern when my mother was killed, I was still little when it happened.I remember walking into the room and see
Ashanti Caleb
WARNING! WARNING! Trigger of violence and torture in this chapter! PLEASE SKIP IT IF IT IS A TRIGGER FOR YOU.! THANK YOU************Caleb Something isn't right.The story doesn't add up.I've listened to Ashanti story, and it's a fucked up thing for anyone to go through, but it doesn't make sense at all.First, Who could possibly take her from her parents and then kill them afterward?I haven't seen this Roman guy in person yet, but I don't think he's older than thirty-five, if my calculations are correct then someone else is pulling the strings but who?Who could benefit the most from this?I think I know where to get answers, I walk out of my office and see Lee sleeping on the couch. Ashanti won't listen to my plans to send him away from here until everything is over. She's stubborn and hot-headed. Sometimes I wondered just how similar she is to my late girlfriend. She was stubborn and loving too. She had a heart of gold, which is precisely what led to her death.When I told he
