Renae

It's been six days, six days since Levi got into the car and left. Six days of being in this monstrosity of a house with only a jerk to keep me company. A jerk that doesn't talk, not that I want to talk to him. Not after the way he treated Lacey. Lacey hasn't answered any calls from Sarah or I. I'm worried about her, she's texted me telling me she's okay, that she needs time and she'll call me when she's ready. That was three days ago and I'm hoping she'll call soon.

    "Having Dylan bring his dad to the warehouse. Don't you think he knows what that means?" He sounds incredulous, he really needs to realize that I'll do whatever it takes to have loyalty proven to me."I'm not going to do anything expect talk to the man. You need to relax a little.""Levi, they'll both believe you're going to do something to him. They could flee.""Do you not think that I've thought of that already?" He must think I'm the moron. That I'm some fresh faced boss that doesn't know how things work. He's been with me since the beginning and now he's doubting me. "Want to tell me why you're questioning me? That's twice today, Jag." My tone has taken a dark edge. If it were anyone else who questioned me like Jagger has, they wouldn't have gotten a second chance to do it."Boss, I didn't mean to question you. I just...""You just what?" I growl, pissed, he's not only my man, he's my friend. He should know not to question me."Finding Renae is the most important thing for you ri

    LeviIt’s been three days since Martin’s mom passed away in her sleep. He’s been quiet and off grid, which I get but at the same time, we’re in the midst of a war and I can’t have my men going dark. I’ve spoken to Martin once since that night and just like I did with Barney, I confronted him. His reaction was very much similar to Barney’s. Betrayal. He denied it and has vowed to find out who is the one behind it.“Boss, what are we going to do about Carina? She’s been sitting in that crappy motel room for the past three days,” Jagger asks coming into my office, a smile on his lips, he loves that she’s being made to wait.“I’ll get around to her. The longer she’s left waiting, left sweating, the quicker she’ll talk. Besides, she’s currently going cold turkey.” I raise my brow at him, I expected more from Jag, I don’t let my men do drugs and that should extend to their women.A heavy sigh escapes him. “I know boss. I know. It’s why I distanced myself from her.” He shakes his head in dis

    Renae"Ladies," a deep voice calls out and I’m instantly awake.My eyes pop open, but the room is still shrouded in darkness. I don’t know how long we’ve been here, I lost track after ten days. The so called boss has yet to come by and I’m wondering if he’s even real."Ladies, you're here for a reason, and only one reason," the deep voice says, it’s a new voice, but one that I know. It’s so familiar but I can’t place where I know it from."Why is that?” Lacey asks, her voice is weak. Thankfully she’s no longer coughing."Your men," he returns and I want to cry, I knew this had to do with Levi, I just hoped that I was wrong.“I don’t have a man. I think you have the wrong people. You should just let us go. We don’t know who you are or where we are. Please just let us go.” She’s lost all faith in us even getting out of here, we’ve not really spoken much the past couple of days. Both of us just retreating into ourselves.A dark chuckle fills the air, "Oh Lacey, you're so naive."Lace suc

    "That may be so, Boss, but that could be just down to the fact that his mom's dying."I frown. "Dying? Explain!" I demand. How the hell didn't I know about this before?"Boss, she has cancer. This is her third bout, they say this time its incurable. She gets weaker by the day. That's why he's been so distant, so preoccupied." His voice low as he informs me."Why hasn't anything been said before?" Why is it only coming to light now?He shrugs. "It wasn't for me to say. He didn't want anyone knowing just yet. I found out by accident, I overheard his phone call."I'm silent as I process what I've just been told. I understand that he's pre-occupied but I'm not convinced he's not the one to do this shit. "I'm going to have to talk to him."He stands. "Is there anything else?""Yes, I need you to..." The ringing of my cell stops me. Pulling my cell out my pocket, I see Jagger's name on the screen. "Jag?""Boss, I've found Carina.""I thought you were talking to Sarah?" I ask, confusion sett

    He rolls his eyes at me. "Tell me something I don't know."I nod. "Barney can I trust you?" Even as I ask him, I still don't know if I can.He flinches, looking insulted. "Are you being for real right now, Boss?""Yes I'm being for real, now answer the damn fucking question!" I bite out as I glare at him."Of course you can trust me, Boss. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't loyal to you," he replies instantly. He doesn't blink, he doesn't move, hell he doesn't even show any emotion."I believe you," I tell him and watch as his entire body deflates. "If I find out you're lying to me, Barney. There is nowhere on this earth's surface that you can hide from me. Do you understand?"He nods once. “I understand. Now, do you want to tell me the real reason I'm here?"I'm impressed, although I’d never tell him that. "Okay, the real reason you're here is because I want answers. I am your boss that's not why you fear me, is it? You fear me because you've seen what I'm capable of. You have witnessed

    LeviI swirl the amber liquor in my glass as I wait for the door to open. The television is off and I'm shrouded in darkness, everything that's happened over the last few days has been re-playing over mind as I wait for Barney, my dad, and Tina to walk in. Martin hasn't called and I'm taking it that he's not found Carina yet. Martin and Barney have been with me since the beginning, neither have motive as I've never done anything to them, yet both have had plenty of opportunity. They’re both acting suspicious. Either that, or I'm losing the plot completely and taking everything they do and scrutinizing it.One thing is for sure, one of my men has Renae. There's no doubt in my mind, not anymore. I’ve thought about it so much these past three days, and talking to Jagger I just cemented the fact that what I believed in the beginning is true. Now I know for sure, I need to find out how they knew where they were going to be. Renae never told anyone. The usual person I'd go to, to find this

    "What? He heard everything anyway."Barney nods, "I did, look, Renae, this guy sounds like an ass. Why haven't you moved on?""Wow Barney, are you getting serious with me?" I'm impressed; there's more to him than I first thought.He tilts his head to the side and stares at me, "Renae, there's a rea

    Her breath hitches, "Levi." She whispers and fuck, she needs to stop. My dick is hard enough to cut diamonds. "We can't do this, you're my stepbrother."I turn her around so that she's straddling me, such sadness etched on her face. "I don't give a fuck. You're mine, Renae, and no one is going to d

    I come to a stop as we walk through the kitchen doors. Turning to face her. I raise my hands, "Whoa, who mentioned anything about love?"She has this annoying look on her face, the one that tells me she knows more than I do. I roll my eyes and pull my phone out of the pocket I have hidden in my dre

    Dorian"What do you know what type of person I am?" she asks, wrinkling her nose. "I said it's not a big deal. I don't want to talk about her."We get on the Metro, going who knows where. We're talking, about regular bullshit, nothing heavy. She seems to be less irritated now, and she's laughing at
