Masuk~~~SIENNA~~~“Screw you, Tiffany! Screw you, Cairo! Screw your goddamn love, screw your big ass dick, screw your fucking money, and screw that gorgeous face of yours too!”I grunt as I stuff my clothes into my small box, the tears sending down my cheeks and dropping on my blue jeans jacket. I fly all my clothes, my extra heavy eyelashes, my nipple pasties, some skimpy panties, and padded bras into the cardboard. I’m snatching up anything I might be needing to hustle with as soon as I land in Hawaii. I've already got an appointment booked out there to get this fucking baby terminated, and that’s gonna make it my eighth time doing this shit. “Well! Congratulations, Sienna, you’ve officially got a groundbreaking track record of killing the babies in your belly before they even know you're their mama.”“And whenever y'all are up in heaven, tell God I said screw him too for taking Cairo away from me!”“And if your little baby mouths can't say that to his face, then you better tell him
My head is steaming as I watch the chaos erupt around me. If she escaped custody, this entire trip was a fucking waste of time. I lean over the high counter, my shadow falling over the sergeant as he tries to grab a radio. “How does a woman walk out of a locked cell in a police station without a single person noticing?”“I don’t know, Mr. Arsher. The logs show she was checked an hour ago. We’re pulling the feed right now.”Another officer sprints into the lobby from the back office, holding a tablet. “The cell camera was compromised, sergeant. The feed shows her sitting on the bench for a few seconds, then the image freezes on a loop. Someone altered the angle and left a total blind spot. We don’t know how she got out of the block.”“Where the hell are Officer Brian and Joe? They were supposed to be monitoring the basement corridor during the shift change!”“Brian isn’t on the schedule for tonight. He left the premises twenty minutes ago.”“Damn it! Search the entire perimeter! Che
~~~CAIRO~~~I storm out of the hospital entrance, I can feel the hot pulse in my veins. The image of Diana sobbing on that hospital bed is ripping my guts apart.Alec is waiting by the rear door of the car under the clinic lights. “Sir, how’s Miss Diana?”I stop in front of him, staring through him like he’s transparent. If I open my mouth right now, I’m gonna lose my shit completely.“Tell Matteo we’re driving to the precinct. We need to get Sienna out of that custody cell tonight.”Alec stills, his mouth gaping open. He looks down at his watch before looking back up at me. “Sir, it’s 1:45 in the morning. The station might not even allow a release at this hour without the proper…”I grab Alec by the stiff collar of his stupid suit jacket, dragging him forward until his chest bangs against mine. “Do your fucking job, Alec. I don’t give a shit what time it is. Get the door open and tell Matteo to drive before I lose the last bit of cool I’ve got left tonight.”He swallows a gulp, nod
“Your blood pressure is starting to level out a little, Diana,” the nurse says, “but you need to keep taking those deep, slow breaths.”“I’m trying, but my stomach is on fire. The meds kept the pain down, but I still feel this heavy pressure in my belly. Is that normal? Does that mean the bleeding is stopping?”“The medication relaxes your muscles and prevents more cramping to manage the flow. The doctor sent your blood work to the lab, so we’re just waiting on those results.”“But you’ve been looking at the monitor this whole time. Please, you gotta know something. Can you just tell me if you heard a heartbeat? I’m only two weeks along, but you can tell a heartbeat by now right? Just tell me if my baby is fine.”She sighs exhaustively, like my questions have totally worn her out but she's stood kind to refuse me.“I’m a nurse, sweetheart, so I’m not authorized to read those scans for you. Dr. Keller will be back the second he finishes reviewing the panel, and he’ll explain everything
~~~DIANA~~~I’m standing in front of the bathroom mirror. Undoing my buttons and letting the clothes off.Everything that happened tonight is still making my thoughts spin.“So if Cairo hadn't arrived tonight…” Pippa starts with her muffled voice coming from inside the room."So you're telling me that girl could've just… oh my god, I can’t even say it.”“But he did. I’m safe, Pips. Sienna’s in handcuffs, and Cairo’s dealing with the cops. It’s over.”“No, it’s not over! You don’t get it. You always do this, Diana. You think everyone has a good heart like you, but that girl is a psycho. I told you a million times that she was bad news, but you just had to go and meet her at that sketchy restaurant.”“God forbid I try to have a normal conversation with someone that promised to share my family history!”“I’m not a total fool, Pips. I knew she was shady. That’s exactly why I didn’t touch the bottle she brought. I ordered my own separate glass from a totally different waiter. I took precau
~~~SIENNA~~~That fake, broke, backstabbing bitch. The second I step out of this precinct, Tiffany’s a dead woman.I taught that clueless hoe how to work the pole, showed her how to finesse them big-fish tricks in the VIP to get real money in her purse, and this is how the bitch repays me? She runs straight to Cairo and snitches on my whole operation.A heavy burning eats the middle of my chest. Shit actually hurts. Tiffany wasn’t just some random girl from the club; she was my literal ride-or-die since we were teenagers grinding to make rent. My eyes get hot, and a stupid tear tries to slide down my cheek.“Hell no. You’re not crying over a weak, backstabbing pussy.”I wipe it's off my face, take a deep breath, and look up at the ceiling. “Goddamn you, Tiffany. I swear on my momma’s corpse, you’re gonna regret the day your sorry ass was born.”I look around the empty cell, staring at the rusty bars and the ugly peeling walls, trying to figure out how the fuck I’m finna handle this
