New Orleans Bad Boys Chapter 25
“This is your room.” Ash said as he ushered me into a large room. It was the same one they had brought me after the incident with Sebastian. There were changes though, the bedsheets were a floral shade of red and white. The couch and stool at the left corner of the door side were rather than the black I remembered. The black marble floors were still as reflective as I remembered and the luxurious mahogany wardrobe rooted by the right side of the wall still remained. The room scent was that of jasmine and it almost brought a smile to my face.“I’ll assign three guards to be in charge of your protection. You’ll meet them later,” he said while he closed the door behind us. “Henceforth, you’re no longer allowed to leave this house except for school. And if you have any outing or whatsoever you have to attend, then you must report to me first. Is that clear?” I turned to him with a sharp frown, “are you stripping me of my freedom?” “I’m protecting you.” He quipped back. “No you’re locki

I hummed in pleasure as we got to the dining room welcomed by the aromas of different meals laced on the polished antique dining table. “What do we have here Freya?” I asked my chef as she did some adjustments to the arrangements alongside two of her staff. “This is, Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes,” she pointed to one of the meals while one of the staff pulled my chair for me to sit. Autumn on the other hand sat on the opposite side. “Pan-seared salmon with sautéed spinach and wild rice pilaf, Lobster risotto with garlic bread and mixed green salad, Grilled lamb chops with ratatouille and couscous salad, Baked salmon with dill sauce, roasted asparagus, and wild rice, Spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread and Caesar salad—“ “That’s enough,” I cut her off abruptly. “I would have died of hunger by the time you’re done with all this, I want the err…” I pointed to one of the meals. “What’s it called again?” “Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and ga

“That fool!” I blurted as I hit the punching bag hard. I didn’t want to think about it much but the morning’s incident kept replaying in my head. Why does Ash have to get the good things? If anything, he wasn’t worthy of Autumn! My breaths escaped in heavy sessions as I rained the bag with several blows till it came off from the ceiling mount. I panted, staring at the bag on the floor. I used the white towel wrapped around my neck to clean my sweats before deciding to hang the bag again. The gym door opened making way for a dark haired slim and curvy lady to saunter in. Skye. Her hair was a mess and she was in her nightgown, enough for me to conclude she just woke. “Good morning!” I teased while she approached me in a lazy fashion. I glanced at the wall clock reading ten minutes past two in the afternoon. “Ah shit,” she sighed while she sat on the weight bench a few meters beside me. “I had a long night yesterday.” “I can tell,” I picked the punching bag to hang it. “Boyfriend?”

A tiny smile graced my lips as I admired my reflection on the full length mirror. I was donning a simple suit complimented with a bow tie. I ran my hand through my short hair so it fell in a wavy fashion. I usually had no interest in attending wedding ceremonies but this one in particular was special. The only thing I hated was the bandage tape on my face. My phone rang in my pocket and my smile faded noting the caller ID. “Ariel,” I answered. “Were you never going to return my calls? I sent you texts but apparently you’ve been doing a very fine job ignoring them. I visited but your guards wouldn’t even let me enter. I’m your girlfriend for goodness sake! What did I do wrong Ash?! What—“ her voice trailed off and I knew it was tears that were certainly going to follow. “You know better that I’ve been busy. A lot has happened over the past few weeks, I could have lost my life or been in jail—“ “I know! I know, but couldn’t you have said something? Ash I don’t know why but these da

“I think this marriage frenzy thing is making you assume things,” I said, “I only brought Autumn with me so my bed won’t be left cold tonight.” She peered suspiciously at me for a while and then smiled. “How is Leon?” “Fine.” “And work?” “Fine too.” She hummed while I downed my champagne hurriedly. “Looks like so much has been happening over there. So much you’re refusing to talk about.” I exhaled deeply.“Ash,” “Today is a joyous occasion. Your day. And I don’t want to ruin it by talking about the affairs of New Orleans.” She shrugged. “I think I’ve already had my fill of today. Let’s deal with you.” “Now you’re sounding like a therapist.” “I am your therapist,” we both chuckled for a brief moment and then I stared into the sky, making shapes with the stars. “It's hellish,” I started in oblivion, “after the old man died, handling the gang and the daily hurdles that came with it was killing more than I imagined,” I sighed. “I’m afraid my father may have picked the wrong per

“Phillip is not that guy for me,” Skye mumbled as she slid her ear piece into her white purse. “But he’s a good guy,” I remarked while I was seated before the mirror, gently combing my long red hair. “I know,” she rolled her eyes whilst approaching me. “He’s a nerd with a big heart, has a nice smile, he’s financially okay too but then he doesn’t have that spark I’m looking for.” She gestured while I squinted my eyes at her. “And just what type of spark are you looking for Skye?” “A touch of wildness, I want a guy that’s wild, risky enough to give me that crazy thrill,” she explained with so much passion that I couldn’t help but chuckle. Skye has never been shy of the fact that she’s always wanted a bad boy but I could never understand her love for them. “You should stop leading him on then, the poor guy is going to think he can score a chance with you.” I replied while I gently wrapped lipstick around my lips. “I wish I could but then he’s entertaining in a way, so I’m just gonn

“What do you want Mr. Ash?” Professor Maxwell blurted, he was probably in his mid forties and new to New Falls. His countenance didn’t even bother hiding how much he hated my presence as I stepped into his office. I smirked while I sat before his desk. “I never asked you to sit.” His tone hardened and I scoffed, crossing my legs over his desk. He glared at my boots and back at me. “Get out before I call the security on you.” “Which security? The one I own?” My left eyebrows arched upwards in pride and he grunted. “What do you want, young man?”“Nothing much. I just came to greet my lecturer for the wonderful score he gave me in my test.” I toned with a heavy dose of sarcasm. “Well if you call an F a wonderful score then thank you.” He retorted while I pulled out some fat wad of cash from my right pocket. I tossed it on his table. “You know what to do Maxwell,” I said while I arose. “First of all, you will address me as Professor Maxwell and secondly, I’m not like the other lec

“Ash gave you his number?!” Skye almost screamed as we threaded on the road leading to New Falls gate. “Yeah,” I nodded like a child and her eyes further widened. “Are you kidding me right now?!” “I’m not lying!”“I know! It’s just crazy. I mean do you even know who that guy is?!”“Oh please,” I rolled my eyes. “Isn’t he like the famous number one guy of New Falls blah blah blah,” “You idiot! His fame is beyond that. Ash Luxton is like one of the underground kings of New Orleans. It’s hard to come in contact with that guy let alone give you his number!” “I guess I’m lucky,” I smiled, recalling those amber eyes of his. “Lucky? That guy is bad news, Autumn.” I sported a quizzical look. “He’s into gang shit and stuff, I know I love bad boys but Ash, Nah that’s where I cross the line. You get entangled in his life and you could literally be buying yourself an exclusive ticket to heaven. Besides, he has a girlfriend, Ariel,” I gasped, that wannabe queen of New Falls was his? Why d
