We found him. An informant said that he was in Queens. And he was close to Ariel’s house.”
Leo shouted from outside my bathroom frantically, and I burst out to meet him.
“Where is she now?”
Leo handed me a towel and rummaged through my closet to get me something to wear.
“She is at her house with Lola and the boys. Jason, Jacob, and Tyler. I tried to call them and no one answered me.”
I cursed under my breath as I was putting the shirt on, then ran downstairs while wearing my pants in the process.
The house was in an uproar. Everyone was shouting and screaming, it was hectic.
Someone bumped into me while holding his bleeding abdomen. He looked up at me and shouted.
“We are under attack, sir. They are everywhere in the mansion. Without warning, we were swarmed up.
“Are you going to be like that all day long? They are out doing some business as usual. Nothing new here, trust me.”Lola huffed as she dropped onto her bed and closed her eyes. She yawned, and I rolled my eyes.I don’t know how she could be as cool as a cucumber even though she knew that her brother and Gabriel were out seeking blood.Yes, I knew about that even though he has been trying to hide it from me, but I could see the signs.His insomnia, him watching me all night, then hugging the shit out of me while I was sleeping.Then in the morning, he got out walking on his tiptoes, not wanting to wake me up. As if I have slept a wink that night.He wanted to leave quickly, so I wouldn’t ask about his plans. He didn’t know that I would pretend to be asleep and not disturb him.Afte
Chapter 32 Pregnant?! Ariel is pregnant with my child, and she is eight weeks already? How come I didn’t notice the signs? We have been together every day ever since her mother passed away. I had my doubts that she was sick, but I have never thought that she might be pregnant. But to think of it, we have never used protection before. And it is all my fault all over again. I have ruined her future by making her pregnant so young. And after what had happened, this would be too much to handle. She is fragile and weak emotionally and physically. What if she decided to have an abortion? Do I have the right to tell her no and I want to keep that baby? I don’t want to be selfish again. I looked at Ariel as she slept peacefully. The frown on her face looked permanent and her expressions

New proofread Chapters... Chapter one “Yayo, yayo Moo la lah Yayo Bitch better have my money, Y’all should know me well enough, Bitch better have my money, Please don’t call me on my bluff, Pay me what you owe me, Ballin’ bigger than LeBron, Bitch, give me your money, Who y’all think y’all frontin on? Like brrap, brrap, brrap “ “Jesus Christ” I shrieked when I saw the old lady that was lurking behind me, giving me the stink eye disgusted. “I want a copy of Macbeth, rental two weeks period.” I tried to slow my heartbeats and move. This woman almost gave me a heart attack. I went to the shelves to get her the book she wanted, and who buys or rents a book this late? It’s 10 pm for God’s sake. Isn’t she afraid that someone would rob her or, worse, kill her? “Here you go ma’am, this would be.....” “I know what the cost is, here.” She threw the money on the counter and went mumbling something about kids these days who have no shame. Wow, I love Sundays; they are the best
Chapter Two Waking up with a massive headache and a dizzy head, I closed my eyes, trying to suppress all that hazy feeling, but with no luck. Opening my eyes again for a moment, I didn’t know where I was. Looking around again, I remembered everything that happened at the restaurant yesterday, fighting the Italians, the shooting, the stab. Everything rushed to my head quickly, making my headache unbearable. I groaned in frustration but froze when I saw her sleeping in a small chair. The girl that saved my life that night, she looked so small, so fragile, so naïve and so fucking stupid to do what she had done. How could she be so stupid to help a total stranger like me and put her life in danger? She could have been hurt, hell she could have been killed. I stood up, walked slowly towards her, and just thought about everything again. She saved my ass, but does she really don’t know who I am? Why did she help me in the first place? Does she want anything from me? I breathed a couple
Chapter Three “Ariel, wake up. You’re going to be late for school.” “ARIEL..... You better get your ass down here after ten minutes or I swear to God, I’ll drag your sorry ass to school wearing your pajama. “ I groaned in annoyance and tossed around, a big yawn escaped my lips. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking, then shrugging, and again drifted back to sleep. “ARIEL.” “Damn it, just calm down woman, I’m awake,” I shouted back at my mother that woman doesn’t chill. I stretched like a cat and turned around, my face buried into my pillow; I inhaled deeply and sighed. Closing my eyes, I smiled softly and rubbed my face all over the soft fabric, enjoying its sweet masculine smell. I sighed again, enjoying the sweet feeling. After two seconds I shot up looking around frantically searching for the stranger who I found yesterday. Just as I was about to get out of bed, my bedroom door swung open and my angry mom’s face greeted me. “So I’m gonna drag you out of bed, then.” She said, put
Chapter Four I punched furiously for the millionth time today; I changed my stance panting, all my body was covered in sweat, feeling hot and exhausted, but still, I didn’t let that stop me. Even though my knuckles were ripped open and bleeding but I ignored the pain. Physical pain is nothing, but emotional is much worse because I hate feelings, being fragile and the worst of all is being helpless. I punched again, aggressively. The bunching bag rattled under the force. No one hurts my family and that stupid fucker, Giovanni and his assholes, crossed the line. After trying to, or almost killing me, they gain the confidence to mess with my business. I don’t give a shit about that; it was like your brat son is making some mess to gain your attention, but yesterday they went insane when they killed two of my men working at one of my clubs. “Woah, easy man. What did the poor punching bag do to you?” Leo entered the gym with a big concerned frown on his face. “Gab, it’s been almost fi
Chapter Five Part 1 Insomnia....... It’s been three days since I had a decent sleep. I can’t concentrate, I can’t communicate with anyone, I can’t even participate in anything. It’s like my mind wants to be shut off from anything and everything. Yep, I’m going into a deep depression and the best thing is I’m all alone. I didn’t see my mom since Monday and it is Friday today. God, I just want to stay asleep and never wake up ever again. Ugh, is it that time of the month? Damn you, periods. That’s why I hate being a girl; though it’s early for that torture....... ugh I need to get up. I rolled over the bed and kicked like a little kid, but because I knew it was the last day of the week, I thought it was better to get it over with. God, I hate high school, so much drama, and hormones. Yep, it’s all about hormones. I chuckled lowly. I’m sulking, and it’s only 6 in the morning. It is going to be a LONG day, man...... I hate my life. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and didn’t b
