The man who had stood beside me through every fight, every loss and every victory. "I trust you." He smiled.
ASHER Luca walked outside and headed behind the bar, toward a dark corner where no one from the club would be able to see us. I followed. The cool evening air hit my face the second I stepped outside. He reached the spot first and stopped. I walked up until we were standing face-to-face. Neither o
ASHER We went to the warehouse together. I wasn't really in a good mood, but at least we didn't end up arguing this time, and everything went smoothly with the meeting and the transaction. We didn't get shot at or ambushed. So, it was nearly perfect. Afterwards, instead of going home, I decided to
ASHER I was supposed to meet with Luca at one of our warehouses to make sure everything was ready for tonight. With all the attacks on our source of income, we had gotten more cautious with every meeting and every move. I should be at the warehouse right now. Instead, I was angry. So damn angry.

I froze. My stomach dropped. “I... what?” I said cautiously. “Why?” Alan took a breath. “Don’t worry. I know everything. I’m going to get you out of here.” His words sounded in my ears like gunshots. He knew. He knew who Luca was. I stared at him, unable to breathe. He knew. How? How could he kn
That day had been bad. I didn’t feel like going downstairs. The weight of everything that happened...Luca, Asher, Alan my guilt, my silence, sat too heavily on my shoulders.
