"You don't have to be a dickhead all the time Shawn" I glared and his laughter rang out as he served the customer he was flirting with before I intervened.
The blonde didn't seem like she was against his mindless flirting. If anything she looked like she would be willing to follow him home tonight, I shook my head diverting my attention from the scene and focusing on my task.
My bar was everything to me, it wasn't fancy but it was everything I had ever wanted and dreamed of.
I have always wanted to own something I can call my own, something I built from scratch.
That wasn't given to me by anyone.
A distant memory buried deep inside stirred and I struggled to school my expression as I stared at the glass of whiskey placed in front of me. I lifted my gaze and found Hazel, one of my employees, wink at me as she sauntered off with an empty tray.
I had known what that meant, someone had bought me a drink but wanted to stay anonymous.
Stupid if you ask me.
My skin prickled with unease as a weird feeling consumed me, goosebumps spread all over my body and I looked around.
My bar was big and very rowdy at night so it was easy to blend in...
Someone was watching me.
I left Shawn to his mindless flirting with the blonde. As long as he is working it doesn't affect my business, I headed back to my office and shut the door rushing to the cameras around the bar. I studied everyone from the crowd.
Nothing caught my attention, no sign of anything out of the ordinary which is weird.
I had felt like I was being watched and my instincts are never wrong.
Have they caught up with me?
I would rather die than let them take me back.
I panicked and quickly called Xander's nanny, she picked up after the second ring.
"Hello, Miss Callum?" Her young feminine voice called when she picked up.
"Jasmine, is Xander with you?" I asked almost immediately.
"Of course, we were playing with Legos before you called, hold on let me put him on the line," She said and I nodded as if she could see me, my eyes fell on the computer screen watching the footage on the screen.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Calm down Darcy.
"Mummy?" My angel's voice sounded a bit confused and I smiled.
"Baby, are you alright? Do you need anything?" I asked him frantically and he sighed.
"I'm fine, I was having fun with Aunt Jasmine before you called and you interrupted" He huffed and I chuckled with relief surging through me.
"So you don't want me calling? Should I stop? I was worried about you that's why I called to check up on you" I remarked softly.
"I'm alright, and worry about yourself too, my teacher told us how many sicknesses our parents can die from today and I thought about you. You don't take care of yourself Mommy and it's really bad, I only see you at night and on weekends you hardly rest" He nagged and my eyes watered.
He was too smart for a six-year-old, he is going to be seven this year and it's also a reminder of how many years had gone by since I ran away from home, and why the hell did his teacher tell them that?
"I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about" I replied.
"I'm not a child, I'm a big boy. When are you getting back?" He asked and I could hear the frustration in his voice.
"Soon, lemme wrap up here first. Love you" I beamed as I heard him mutter those words shyly before I hung up.
Then my eyes caught the screen, this time the feeling of unease came back as I stared at the tall broad broad-shouldered man in a black leather jacket walking out of the bar.
He can just be a local, but the leather jacket had my mind spiraling, why didn't I see him before?
Unless he knew about the cameras so he stayed out of sight.
Shit!
That's not normal at all, and I bet he is not a local.
I opened my drawer and took out the Glock from where it was hidden, I haven't used it since I purchased it and I had prayed I wouldn't use it.
What if the man was just someone normal?
Am I being paranoid again?
I love this town and I have established something here. It's so far away from home and I made sure of that.
But I also don't believe in coincidence, not when I had a lot at stake just one slip up then I will find myself thrown back into that life I left behind.
I put back the gun and walked out of the office, I found Hazel serving a customer and waited for her to finish.
She smiled at the group of males she was attending to and I watched her slip a piece of paper under the cup of one of the guys. I never placed a rule not to engage with the customers and now I'm starting to regret it.
Flirting was good for business but nothing more than that. It leaves them wanting more, and coming here will be an addiction before they realize that they're not going to get what they want.
But I guess my employees have forgotten that.
She turned and froze when she saw me, I didn't say anything and beckoned to her to follow me.
She probably thinks she is in trouble for what she did back there but I had no interest in whatever she wanted to do with her life. We entered my office and I sat on the desk while she remained standing beside the door looking down at her feet.
"The man who gave you the drink you sent to me, have you seen him around before?" I asked and she lifted her gaze with a shocked expression on her face.
"Ye-yes, I have" She stuttered.
"I'm not going to give you shit for what you did back there, I know you need money for your college funding, I'm not going to judge you for any of that. If that's what you wish to do then do it. Just don't let it affect my business" I warned sternly.
"Yes ma'am" She bowed her head slightly.
"Now tell me about the man, the one that sent the drink my way" I emphasized.
"He said you could use the drink, I told him you might not accept but he told me to give it anyway," She said an unknown glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at me then it was gone.
Was that... Jealousy?
"Was he the man wearing a leather jacket and black jeans?" I asked and she looked surprised before she nodded.
"And do you recognize him as any of the locals?" I questioned further and she shook her head.
"No I think he is new to town and he seemed to have taken a liking to this bar" She grinned at me and my brows almost reached my hairline.
"What do you mean taken a liking to this bar? How long has he been coming here?" I inquired.
"For two weeks every day! Isn't that great"
My eyes widened.
Definitely not a local or a tourist.
They've found me.
Chapter 164Author's POV Jason and Scarlet went into the house, heading straight to his room. When she got to the hallway she remembered the shooting and wished that Robert wasn't killed. “I wished your father didn't kill him.”“He was about to rape you and yet you said we should have spared him. Come to think of it, there's no way we can do that. I don't want to sound rude to you but he deserved everything that happened to him.” Jason divulged, holding her hand as she led him into his bedroom. “What about finding your brother's killer? I mean that's what you're obsessed with at this point. What's stopping you from achieving that?”“This is the only lead I have. This fucking ring, I have to find who the owner is and if I do I'm going to avenge the death of my brother.” Scarlet was scared staring at the ring, she let the ring fall off her hands as she knew who it belonged to. “Have you seen this ring before?”“Not really Jason, I thought I did but it wasn't like this.” She uttered

When they arrived at the warehouse, Carrillo was surprised that a man and a woman were already standing along with four armed soldiers. “I didn't know you guys would be early.” He uttered as he got out of the car, wearing a wide smile on his face.“Well we're here for the explosives so what's the deal?” Roy uttered as he stared at them. “Wowk straight to business.”“We'd like to give you half of the explosives and you'd still be giving us 20% of the explosives in cash before you can have your men back and what belongs to you so when next you want to think of transporting explosives into the country you'd give it a second thought.”“He's not joking with this deal. We should take it before he takes the offer and decide to arrest all of us. We don't even know if they hav
Chapter 162Author's POV Carlos arrived at Ali's fortress, he was a bit surprised that he had doubled his security which meant he had other enemies he was worried about. “I'm here to see Ali.”“Let him in.” Ali uttered while he was speaking to one of his workers. Carlos walked in with a stance wearing a smile on his face. “Ali, what's going on exactly? There are too many guards in one building.”“This is my home now so I have to make sure I'm protected and now that we're fighting against the Gustavos, I have to make sure nothing comes back to me and even if it did, I'll be able to defend myself with these men.” Ali divulged, Carlos swallowed the lump in his throat as he heard the word Gustavo. “I thought that was a myth. I remember the chaos they brought on this town.”“Same reason why I doubled my security, I need to know why you're fighting against a myth.” Ali conceded to his words, as he led him to his office so they could discuss privately.“According to the CCTV footage outs
Chapter 161Author's POV She got a call from one of her contacts at the border, she was wondering why they would be calling her by this time of the day. “We just found a large shipment of explosives and these men were riding in the back of a truck. You need to come down here before the Chief gets a hang of this.”“I'll be there in less than five minutes.” She was pleased that he found the truck and decided to call her first before calling the boss. “Carrillo we need to leave now, I just got a call. It's a ton of explosives and I wonder where it was headed.”“Well if it's explosives then they're meant for a certain group of people. Maybe a gang pissed off another gang outside Italy, you could be putting your hands in an international war. It's very risky.” Carrillo warned, letting her know his insights on her words. “Why do you know so much about Carrillo? You're not a cop, you were a taxi driver yet you know so much about gang dealings and everything.” She chuckled as she went int
Chapter 160Author's POV “I don't want this Jason, I need to know what's on your mind. You always want sex anytime we're together, we should talk about our future together.” Scarlet uttered as she stepped backwards from Jason. “Our future is alright and fine wherever it is and surely we're getting to it but come on you can't possibly say no to me.” Jason retorts as he steps forward. “Jason I'm not in the mood for this, I have other things in mind and this was never a part of it. I'm not a sex toy, I have emotions too Jason.” She maintained an arm's length away from Jason. “Are you running away from me Scarlet?” Jason asked, stretching out his arm to hold Scarlet's hand but she dodged his arm. “You look frustrated and you're letting this frustration lead you into doing something to clear your mind from your thoughts. Sex isn't…”“Since you know everything, why don't you give me what I want?” Jason chimed in on her words, grabbing her arm and dragging her close to him. Scarlet scr
Chapter 159Author's POV Carrillo performed a stunt as he got under the bridge in between two other black cars, it was hard for the cops to differentiate between them since they were not on the same lane with Carrillo. He took the next left and the cops kept pursuing the other black car in the middle. “That's how you lose the cops for good.” Carrillo chuckles as Lorette pulls him closer to her face, she kisses him deeply. “Let's go to my house Carrillo.” She stuttered as she picked up her phone and texted one of her colleagues. “Are you calling in sick today?” He asked, wearing a smile on his face. “Not really, telling them I'm chasing a lead on a rape case which I'm supposed to be doing but I'm not.” She chuckled while still typing the words on her phone. “You've got a rape case on your desk?” Carrillo asked, hoping she would go into details of the case. “Yeah we don't know who the man is, he's been a ghost for a while.”“You don't chase a rapist. You lure him into a trap, he
