Chapter 4

“Okay, Mr, Raymond Is a nuisance, he always set us up during the harvest, and whenever I got supplies from other farms, she always report me to the narcotics police, and I'm expecting a consignment soon, I don't want any harassment from any police” King Ricardo explained,

“Okay, I got It, godfather,” Harley said, and she returned to her apartment,

King Ricardo was counting down the hours until his latest shipment of hard drugs arrived. He paced back and forth in his office, glancing at his watch every few minutes.

"We need to get this shipment here on time," he muttered to his trusted advisor, Rosalie, "The people we're selling to won't wait around forever," Ricardo explained,

Rosalie nodded, looking nervous. "I understand, Your Highness. But we must be careful, the police are on high alert." Rosalie said nervously,

King Ricardo scoffed, "The police? Please, they couldn't stop us if they tried. We've done this a hundred times before" Ricardo said,

Meanwhile, outside in the streets, Harley and his distraction team were making their final preparations, they had planned an elaborate diversion to draw the police away from the route that the drugs would be taking,

Harley was the head of the team and had worked out all the details with King Ricardo's men. But she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, she didn't trust the king's right-hand woman Rosalie, and she had a nagging suspicion that their shipment was in danger.

So, Harley decided to reach out to someone she knew he could trust - Johnny, the head of the narcotics police assigned to the area,

Harley had met Johnny a few weeks prior at a nightclub where he had been working his first task for King Ricardo, they had hit it off right away, bonding over their love of motorcycles and their disdain for those in power who tried to keep them down,

Johnny had promised to help if he could, but he was a police officer, and he had to be careful because he didn't know Harley deeply,

Harley didn't care, she knew she needed to do everything in her power to protect the shipment and make sure it arrived on time, So, he took a chance and sent a message to Johnny, asking for his help, Harley lied that just a consignment of pharmaceutical drugs, she didn't go deep what exactly the consignment consists,

Johnny was hesitant at first, but he knew that Harley was a good girl deep down, even if she worked with some shady characters. Johnny decided to see what he could do to help,

The night of the shipment, both Harley and Johnny were on edge. Harley's team was executing their diversion, and Johnny was stationed along the route with his fellow officers.

As the delivery truck carrying the drugs approached, Johnny's heart raced, he had made sure that his fellow officers were aware of the threat and were ready to take the shipment down if necessary, But he hoped it wouldn't come to that because he knows that Harley might be lying to him,

Just as the truck was about to pass by Johnny's location, he noticed something strange. A group of men dressed in black were approaching from a nearby alleyway. They were armed and looked like they meant business, they wanted to hijack the consignment on the highway,

Johnny knew what he had to do, he signaled for his fellow officers to get into position and waited for the men to make their move,

Sure enough, they ran towards the delivery truck, guns drawn, but before they could do any damage, Johnny and his team sprang into action, taking them down in a hail of bullets,

The delivery truck made it to King Ricardo's warehouse safely, and the drugs were unloaded without incident, but something had changed. Harley had seen firsthand how Johnny and his team had saved the shipment and protected their operation, and he has started developing an Interest In him, but she was trying to caution herself,

Though Harley had a newfound respect for law enforcement and knew that not all cops were corrupt, and Johnny had shown that even in the darkest of situations, there was still hope for justice to prevail,

Harley and Johnny met up after the operation and shared a drink. Harley thanked Johnny for his help, and Johnny thanked Harley for helping him to see that not all criminals were the same.

It was an unlikely pairing, but they had found common ground. And maybe, just maybe, their actions that night had brought them one step closer to a world where trust and respect could be found on both sides of the law,

King Ricardo developed more Interest In Harley, and he called Rosalie, to see him In his chamber,

A few minutes later, Rosalie came, and she said, My king, you called?“ she inquired,

“Yeah, how did you see Harley's performance?“ Ricardo asked,

“Everything about the girl Is perfect, but I'm still scared” Rosalie retorted,

“Rosalie, why are you still scared about this girl, she had been with us for more than two years, and you are still telling me that you are scared,” Ricardo said, “you better get It out of your mind, she's a good girl,” he said,

“I can see that you have special feelings for this Harley,” Rosalie said In a tackled voice,

“Please, Rosalie, don't get me wrong, the feelings that I have for him Are quite different from what you are thinking,” Ricardo said,

“Tell me, what kind of feelings are you having for Harley?“ Rosalie asked,

“I'm seeing her like my daughter, I wish she could be my daughter,” Ricardo said,

Rosalie walked closer to Ricardo and stood right in Infront of him, and she asked, “Tell me the truth, Harley Is your daughter”

“No, I'm seeing her for the first time when I bought her from Mr, Anderson, and ever since I set my eyes on her, I can't control my fatherly feelings” Ricardo explained, “since then, I have been thinking of adopting her as my child,” he said,

“Do you have a family?“ Rosalie asked,

“Well, I don't have a specific woman since I was released from jail, and the only girl I dated for three years was the girl I sincerely loved, and that was before I went to jail, and when I came back from jail, I searched for her but I didn't see her, and I forget about her, but all that we shared was still In my memories,” Ricardo explained,

“Sorry about that, but I can as well give you a child, think about It,” Rosalie said,

“That wouldn't be necessary, you are my friend, my right-hand woman, my advisor, please, let's limit our relationship to business, Ricardo said,
