His brows draw together.“What?” he asks, looking over my shoulder.Then he sees the picture too.“What?” He asks again. I can sense the frustration in his voice. A long silence stretches between us.“She…she’s his daughter?,” I whisper.“Yes, any problem?” “It’s her, it’s Rebecca. The girl IMet at the bar” I say. My hands are trembling slightly.

Rebecca’s POVThe drive to my mothers house feels longer than usual. Maybe because I keep second guessing myself. I tap the steering wheel out of habit. There is a sickening feeling in my stomach. I don’t know why I am even going. Things haven’t really been easy between us lately. Not since she told me about the affair. My mind flashed back to that evening. She had called me while I was at work in tears saying there was something she needed to tell me. I had dropped everything I was doing and rushed to her house. It still felt like a movie, except this is real life. My mother, the woman I grew up thinking was unbreakable and perfect sitting across from me at her kitchen table her eyes wet with Shame, telling me she hadn’t been loyal to my father. That years ago she has found comfort in someone else. Someone my father despised. His then rival. “I didn’t know what to do, I was lonely” I remember her say, with wistful tears.

Mikes POV I pull up in front of my penthouse. The place is quiet. Too quiet. I have a splitting headache. The type that starts from the back of your head and migrates to the front. Where you can literally feel your head pounding. I had been thinking a lot. Everything is weighing heavy on my head. From the mess with the envelope, Donald’s woman who happens to be Delmonts daughter. If only Donald had listened to me. All this would have been over by now, and Theo is not talking. I might have to release him. He obviously knows nothing about what has happened. And to top it all up a shipment came in late. One of the new boys almost got followed. Stupid move, very Careless. That’s how you get the cops on your back. That’s how people end up dead. I move drugs. Pills. Coke. Stuff that makes people forget, stuff that makes them feel better for a while. I am not proud of it, but it’s what I do. And tonight, everything felt off.It’s like everything is just coming down at once. I slam the c

Donald’s POV I knew something was off the moment I stepped in. Delmont was already seated at the far end of the boardroom table, a fresh cup of black coffee is placed in front of him. The room is too quiet. No board members, no assistant just him. “You’re early,” I say. “So are you,” he replied without looking up. “I told them to take their time.” My chest palpitates a bit. “Why?” “Because I wanted a few minutes with you,” he said, finally meeting my gaze. “One on one.” I move towards my seat, cautiously and slowly. I pull back a seat and relax into it. “We could’ve scheduled that.” “But then it wouldn’t be spontaneous,” he says scribbling something into a note. “And spontaneity reveals things.” I stare at him confused. He is seated at the end of the table. He’s fingers are laced together. He just keeps looking at the papers in front of him. He finally looks up. His tone is sharp. “What the hell were you thinking, making that move without telling me?” “What do you me

I decide to take a walk around, I am putting on a coat. It’s a little chilly outisde. I reach into my pocket for my phone. Rebecca’s message is still there. I stare at it for while, I am really not up for dinner with family. But meeting her mother might give me the information I need, if Rebecca’s playing me or not. Would someone who wants to ruin my life invite me to dinner with their mum? I am not sure anymore. I type out a reply sure, why not and hit send before I even get to change my mind. I pass by an ice cream truck. I notice a little boy holding on to his mother. Literally dragging her to the truck and pointing with excitement. “No Jon, not today” “Please mum,” I hear him say. I stand there for a while hands in my pocket enjoying the charade. “Come on boy, I would get you ice cream” I say walking over to him. “Can I get little jon some ice cream?” I say looking up to his mum. “Say yes” he is prancing up and down with his hands held high. “Oh, please don’t bother,

Twenty five years ago, My family was murdered while I hid in a trap door basement. I remember it like it was yesterday. At a suburban area of New Mexico. We surrounded the dining table, my dad, mum and brother Miguel. We had just recited the lords prayer, we were having my favorite, salsa and guacamole. When we heard the first gun shot from a distance. We froze. “Sssh” dad said placing an index finger over his mouth. “Take them to the trap door basement” he instructed my mother. A light whisper as he gets up to retrieve his rifle from beneath the kitchen sink. Miguel starts to cry. “It’s okay baby” she cradles him and grabs my hand. She’s in a hurry, I follow beside her hand in hand almost tripping. Mom gets to the leaving room, gets down on her knees, beside the couch and asks me to help as she pushes it aside. I am only eight. Another gun shot, this time closer. Miguel is shouting now. My whole body shaking, I feel a liquid trail down my pants, I don’t move. “Ma

Today had been what one might call a bad day. I lost a business deal and to make matters worse, my car broke down on the way home. I decided to take trip to a bar to get in one or two drinks while it was being fixed. Seated at the bar. Tequila in hand, Bobbed my head to the music. I found myself replaying the days event. I notice a woman a few seats away. Blond hair, flushed cheeks, blue eyes, red lipstick she kept glancing at me. I had just counted her fifth shot when a drunk slid into the seat next to her, holding a bottle of vodka almost empty. “Hey. You sexy looking thing, how about we excuse ourselves from here and head into the back for some action” “Not interested” I heard her say. Turning away. “Aw, Come on lady. It’s not everyday we get to see people like you around here” he places his hand on her shoulder. I notice the look of disgust flash across her face. “She said, she’s not interested” I say pushing off my seat and walking toward them. “Mind your business Turk, m

Miguel, now thirteen, and I, fifteen, seated in the dark room where our foster father always kept us when we had committed an offense. The air was thick with dust and a scent of damp wood. He would be back soon. Miguel shifted beside me. Even in the darkness I could tell he was trembling. His eyes kept wandering to the locked door. I, on the other hand, was angry. “Miguel, we have to try again” I whispered. “No” so softly I could barely hear. “Miguel” “No, I listened to you, and now we are here. I don’t want to anymore, Manuel, I can’t. And what’s your plan when we finally leave. How will we survive?” he’s crying now. “The money mama and papa left to us, I still have the documents and bank details contained in the envelope, we don’t need to stay here any longer”“I am scared, Manuel”“I know Miguel, but remember what mom said. We are brave and we have each other I would never allow anything happen to you I promise. I need you to trust me and just do what I say, we would try a

By the time I pull up in-front of Rebecca’s house the sky is almost black. She leans in kisses me softly and says “I don’t like that worried look on your face, call me if you need anything”. I nod, faking a smile, I watch her walk up the porch, the mood cast a light against her sleek figure. She pauses for a second and glanced back at me before she disappears into the house. The moment the door closes I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. Mikes message flashes right in front of me. I dial, it’s rings once, rings twice and on the third ring, he picks. “You alone?” Mikes voice is sharp and deep over the phone. “Yeah” I say trying to focus on the streets. “We have a guy they call Theo, Leon gave me a lead on him, but he isn’t giving me anything tangible” “Where is he?” My chest tightens. “He’s at the safe house” “And?” I say already feeling angry “He keeps saying he is innocent. Says he doesn’t know anything. We knocked him around a little. Nothing too serious, he’s s

Donald’s POVRebecca had told me how famished she was, so we drove through McDonald’s and ordered takeout. two burgers, large fries, and milkshakes that were half melted by the time we parked. I drive to the beach, one of my favorite quiet spots, and we stay in the car with the windows rolled halfway, letting the evening breeze circulate. We eat with the wrappers spread out between us, taking large bites, talking with our mouths full, laughing whenever the sauce splurges from the burgers and lands somewhere it shouldn’t. Rebecca has ketchup on her chin at one point, and I reach out with a napkin, dabbing it off gently. She rolls her eyes but smiles.“This is so messy,” she says, holding up her hands in defeat.“You’re lucky you’re pretty,” I tease.She sticks her tongue out at me, then pops a fry into her mouth. “And you’re lucky I’m starving.”When we finish, I step out of the car and stretch. I walk around to the other side and open her door with a bow.“Madam,” I say dramatically.

KISS ME WHEN ITS OVER Chapter 14
Donald’s POV Back home, I stand by the window, staring out into the dark like I would find answers. My phone feels heavy on my palms, no call from the blackmailers, no threats, no updates and I can’t reach them. Just silence. And silence is always worst. I pace back and forth. A hundred things running through my mind. I should have burned the envelope the day I got it. My eyes twitch. I open the safe again, the contents are still the same except for the envelope. And rebecca? I haven’t spoken to her in while Shit. I reach for my phone. Ten missed calls. I see messages. I move to my call log, my hand hovers over her name. I exhale and run a hand through my hair. What if Rebecca finds out? What if Delmont finds out? I place the phone on the table. I can’t drag Rebecca into this? She doesn’t know the kind of man I am. If she ever finds out this version of me she wouldn’t want to stay. My chest is heavy. I collapse into the chair. My head buried in
