Carlos’s pov

The moment he was gone, I went to a secluded place to answer my calls. Nowhere felt safe so I went to the bathroom.

I locked the door behind me after the last person had gone before picking the call.

“Why are you not picking up?” I said. I was getting impatient. “I’ve been calling for a while now.”

She chuckled. “Chill. I’m already dressed and I’m out of the house. I’m calling the team. I’ve seen the address that you sent me and we’re working towards talking to the security guard and cutting a deal with him. We’re also working to see which one of my guys is going to be the one that comes to look for trouble because some of them don’t want to get punched.”

I chuckled. “Fine. Do your best.”

“Like I said, it doesn’t come cheap.”

“When have you ever been cheap?” I shrugged. “Listen, Laura, do your thing. When you’re done, me and you will go to a secluded area and then we can cut a deal. How about that?”

She chuckled. “Fine. Whatever.”

Then I cut the call.

    Carlos’s povThe man stared at Jules, and raised brows, as he laughed before looking at me and everyone around the mall. It was clear that everyone was angry at him and wanted him gone. But no one was attacking him. They only stared at him with anger like they would kill him if he didn’t get out of their sight.I stepped forward. “Look, man, you pushed our table earlier, and you didn’t just stop there. You also poured drink on my fiancé’s shirt. This whole mess on his shirt, that was all you.” I pointed out, as everybody nodded and agreed with me.Then the lady attending to the line stepped forward. “You should step to the back of the line before I call security.”The man looked at the lady and scoffed. “And you are?”“A woman who is doing her job.”“Ooohh, I like that. Can I get your number though.”“With the way you’ve been acting, I have a better chance at giving a lizard my number than you. And I don’t even like lizards.”He scoffed and looked around, pointing to all of us. “All

    Julian’s povWe got to the venue as I got out of the car and stepped aside for him to get out. He started to tap on his phone. I looked to what he was typing, but then he removed the screen from me.“I see we are hiding things from each other now,” I chuckled, but he shook his head.“We aren’t. But I can’t have you ruining the surprise with your snooping.”I nodded. “Fine. Alright. I give up. I’m not going to snoop into your phone anymore.”He chuckled. “Look, how about you stop worrying about me and take me to this place you want me to be in. You know, this special place that you say is very good and is wonderful and is the best thing that happens in Sliced bread. I just want to know where this place is.”I chuckled. “Fine. But you have to get off your phone. You’ve been tapping on it since we’ve been in the car. Seriously, I don’t know what you’re typing or what you’re showing out there.”He nodded and tapped on his phone again, then put it in his pocket. “Fine.”I held his hands an

    Carlos’s povThe next morning, my phone buzzed as I turned and picked it up.“Hello,” I said in a groggy voice as his loving voice came over the phone.“Hi, baby. Still asleep?”I chuckled. “Waking me up by…” I stopped and looked at the time before getting back to the call. “8.32 is not really what I’d call, you know, a good thing. I love sleeping in. Till the afternoons.”He chuckled. “I see that. I’m calling to let you know that we have a lot to do today. I want to know if you’re ready for today.”“I am.” I said, sitting up while swinging my legs across the edge of the bed while swinging it around.“You sure? You sound like you had a lot to do yesterday.”A sigh escaped my lips as I rubbed my temple.“I’ve had more than a hectic night. My night was going well before I started to feel a bit tired, you know, from all I had done yesterday, and I tried to sleep. But then people from the office called me, so I had to wake up and start going through a lot at midnight. Like, it’s just been

    Carlos’s povI left the house and got into my car as someone knocked on the window.I noticed it was the butler and ignored him as I looked around for my keys but didn’t see it.“Where did i put that stuff?” I muttered while searching for it as the knocks came again and again.“What?!” I yelled, opening the door and standing with my fingers clenched and ready for action.He stared down to my fingers and sighed before jangling my keys before my face. In that moment, I felt stupid.He came close to me and dropped the keys on top of the roof of the car before stepping away.I didn’t know what to say in that moment.“I still don’t know what master Jules sees in you,” he said which angered me even more.That felt like an insult. Was he insinuating that I was not worth it?I looked to the roof and picked up the keys as he turned and started to go back to the house.“One of these days, you’ll be out of a job and I’ll be here to laugh in your face,” I said after him, but that didn’t slow him

    Julian’s povHe entered and looked around before I gestured for him to go sit on the same couch my mother had sat in. I looked around and walked to my desk while trailing my fingers around the edges of the desk.I was looking for the most comfortable way to tell him what I had been told. I sighed before looking through the window. The distant lights of the city got to me.I then turned to him. “Do you want to go out and take this night to a different height?”He slowly got to his feet and closed the distance between us with his hands slowly taking mine in his. I smiled when he did that. Everyone I've dated knew my weakness and it was that of touch.“I can tell that something is wrong. Just tell me what the problem is.”I shook my head. Telling him would cause more problems as the relationship was already shaking. I needed to divert whatever we were feeling to a happy mood.“If you don't tell me what you two talked about, how will I know how to fix things?”My phone buzzed but I ignore
