Devenity 

“Mi Cíelo, next time I see hands around you and they’re not mine, I’ll burn him alive.” Reign growled and I felt my stomach flip in anticipation. I shouldn’t feel that way yet the intensity of his eyes made me want to push his buttons.

I walked closer to him, so close that our faces were inches apart. I tried not to let my eyes wander to his full lips or his clean-shaven beard or the way he smelled delicious or… control yourself, woman! 

“Apart from our deal, I have no business with you.” I spat before yanking my arm away and storming upstairs. I heard him chuckle but I didn’t turn to face the man. 

I got into my room and slammed the door shut. With a shaky breath, I headed straight to my closet and almost cried. My babies… I stared at my line of clothes and shoes, my designer bags and wristwatches. How was I supposed just to pack a few? Then again, Reign did tell me to pack my bags not some of my bags. I rolled out four of my traveling bags and started packing.

This was going to take a long while.

****

I think an hour passed or three but I lost track of time and I’m currently wondering if there will be any need for my new heels or if I can risk it? Nope, that didn’t even sound right. I stuffed them into my bag. I heard someone come into the walk-in closet and I didn’t bother raising my head.

“Hoe, what the hell are you doing?” Vincent asked and I looked up at him from the floor, pouting.

“I can’t leave my babies,” I whined and he scoffed. He looked around the closet and I followed his gaze and realized that I had barely packed anything. 

“Me neither.” He frowned, showing me the single bag he packed. If there was one thing that made my friendship with Vincent strong, it was our love for material things and this, this was a death sentence to us.

“We can get people to bring the rest of your things.” A deep voice said and the other guy, Levi, appeared at the doorway. He looked around the room, probably judging me hard. “Just get your essentials.” He said.

I took a good look at him and had to agree that the Mar Muerto men were gorgeous. Maybe that was a criterion for joining the gang. 

“Fine.” I huffed, before taking one of the bags I packed successfully. 

As we stepped out of the room, two men took the bags from us. Vincent leaned down to my ear level and whispered. 

“You have a lot of explaining to do.” He said and I sighed. “So help me God if you slept with Reign without telling me.”

I almost choked on my saliva before shoving him away. “I didn’t even know the guy till last night and it’s not on a friendly basis.”

“With the way he is glaring at me, you’re sure you didn’t have sex with him?” Vincent whispered again and I looked at Reign and saw the veins of his forehead popping.

“Levi take Vincent in your car.” He orders not even sparing him a glance. I immediately grip Vincent’s arm unsure of what he wanted to do with him. Vincent softly takes my hand off and gives me a small smile that spelled ‘bitch if you don’t let me go’

“I’ll be fine with Levi, Ho-sugar.” He corrected before subtly glaring at me.

I gave him a brief apologetic look before we parted ways. I watched him follow Levi whose ears were now a slight shade of pink. With the way Vincent immediately started talking to him, I wondered if my best friend had already traumatized the man. 

“You have to listen to me if we’re going to be working together mi Cuelo.” I heard someone growl from beside me and I rolled my eyes while heading towards the front door. A hand gripped my elbow tightly but I shrugged it off.

“I remember this being a partnership not slavery.” I spat and instead of taking me seriously, his eyes danced in amusement. “And while we are at it, don’t you touch me again,” I warned. My blood boiled as his expression looked even more amused than before.

“This is going to be fun.” He muttered before walking out of my house. I rolled my eyes before turning to look at the place I’ve lived in since college. There was no way I was just giving it up. I would definitely be back after everything.

I stepped out to see Reign casually leaning against the passenger's door. He saw me and grinned before opening the door. I entered the car and crossed my arms in annoyance. It was infuriating how authoritative he was. 

He may be drop-dead gorgeous but his character was nasty. 

He got on the other side of the car and got it started. A notification came into my phone and it was my boss adding additional shifts for everyone. I groaned in exhaustion. Of course, the bitch wants more money for her vacation.

“I’ll be keeping my job at the club,” I stated, not looking up from my phone.

“You’re doing no such thing.”

I paused for a second before laughing. “I don’t remember asking for your permission.”

“You’re not going back there.” Reign said again and I simply smiled. 

“We’ll see,” I replied, closing my eyes and deciding to get a bit of shut-eye.

If Reign thinks he can just barge his way into my life and control me, then he has another thing coming. The last thing Devinity Garcia would ever do was bend to another person’s will, especially not an egocentric gorgeous mafia man.

“I’m seriously not going to let you leave.” He growled and I smiled on the inside. 

Seems like my sudden simple replies were unsettling.

“No problem.”

“Mi cielo…”

I could feel his eyes burning the side of my head and it gave me the peace to drift off to sleep.

Fuck the mafia. Reign might be the one to kill me before then.
