Chapter 14Sergey,I stared at the little woman sitting on the bunk bed with her arms around her generous chest and a leg over the other.She stared at us as if she were a queen sitting on her throne and we were her subjects that must obey all of her demands or else we would be killed on the spot.Her curly hair was a mess, but it looked nice, especially with the blonde strands that shone through the faint light in the cell.When her eyes met mine, they looked brown, but somehow it felt wrong. The color doesn’t suit her or the power those firm, strong eyes exude.But what was so weird about her was her voice! It was firm but soft, sweet but commanding. Her voice tone and how lyrical it was didn’t suit her firm, strong looks.“I came here to ask you for a favor and in return, I will give you whatever you want or need.”Sir Michael said, and I blinked a couple of times. I was staring at the woman lost in thought and forgot where I was and why I was here.Isis hummed, then she looked dow
Chapter 15Michael,“Why are we here? I want to go to that house to deal with that fucker we brought back.”I snarled at Sergey when he stopped in front of the mansion and looked at me firmly as if I were his disobedient kid.“We need to report to sir Gabriel. He must know what happened with Is…. miss khalifa.”He said impatiently, and I sighed. I was an inconsiderate fucker and just thinking about myself, forgot that the man was basically being bought a few minutes ago.I got out, slamming the door harshly, stomped to the mansion, and just burst into my brother’s office. He was waiting for me along with Leo and Jason, who had been a permanent thing in here.He and Leo were glued at the hip since what had happened to Lola and if they weren’t here, I bet that they go to that kid’s house.I dropped on the couch huffing and buffing because I was still in shock from what happened back there, so I just said nothing and waited for Sergey to give them the briefing.And of course, they were s
Chapter 16Lola,I stared at the ceiling, even though I couldn’t see anything at all.The lights were off for a few hours at least, I’m not sure, but I couldn’t sleep. Tonight I was feeling more depressed than usual.And why not, while days mingle into nights and nights become longer? Though things after my trial calmed down a little.I thought that I would have been shanked by now, but it was almost a week and everyone was giving me a wide berth.I don’t know if the hit on my head wasn’t there anymore or if was it just Isis being around me most of the time and growling at anyone who even dared to look my way.I have no idea about her sudden change, but I don’t mind it at all. She might glare at me and tsk from now and then in disapproval, but at least she got my back in this fucked up place.I mean, it was nice to have someone care for you even if you don’t know his real intention, but at this moment beggars can’t be choosers, right?I need to think of a way to handle life here now
Chapter 17Michael,I cracked my neck and groaned when it made a loud noise.I have been standing on my feet for what felt like twenty four hours, but in reality, they were only ten. I should get some rest, but after seeing Lola I feel refreshed and those couple of hours I slept hugging her were enough for me.I drank some of my coffee to sober up a little. I have one more surgery and then I will be free to go home, but then I hissed and stroked my broken nose.Man, she can punch. I didn’t feel the pain, but there was some discomfort, even though I put it back in place. My Lola can’t make me prouder.She looked like a vicious lioness when she punched and kicked me like that yesterday. My little flower has some thorns.I thought, chuckling as the door to the doctor’s room opened and Jackson entered the room, then dropped on the sofa in front of him.“Man, I can’t do this any longer. I’m so fucking tired. I don’t know how you don’t and still look fresh and energetic, especially with al
Chapter 18Michael,I watched my brother as he kept pacing the vast living room on the first floor of the mansion as someone took care of my wounds.They weren’t a lot, a couple of cuts on my back and just a small hit on one of my temples, as I said nothing serious but they kept fussing about it.I looked to my right and frowned when I saw someone else was tending to Sergey, who looked worse than me.The man was fighting for his own life, but at the same time he tried to protect me, so he was open to a couple of stupid attacks. but he just kept on focusing on protecting me rather than himself.I gritted my teeth when I saw the cuts that littered his chest and thighs. There was also a clean gunshot hole in his left arm.The bullet went through the flesh and came out clean, fortunately. But the damn thing didn’t stop bleeding and each time I tried to help, he would glare at me and order me to sit.It got on my nerves because I felt like a little spoiled kid who did something wrong and t
Chapter 19Lola,I dragged my feet as I walked with no energy, my mood off and my mind busy as I went to get lunch.It has been what? Two days, maybe three, since Michael’s visit! And ever since, I have been feeling like shit.And I guess he was right to stay away for over two months because if I had seen him the moment I was locked away, I would have crumbled.I think I have endured all of this because he was away and I kept thinking about him and cursing him silently in my mind.But now I just want to hide in his arms and never let him go. I want to close my eyes and think about everything that just had happened as if it was a long tiring nightmare.But now, walking around lifelessly staring at faces I don’t see or hear words I don’t comprehend, I know that this would never be a nightmare. It is just my shitty reality.‘See, he should have stayed away from the start. You should have broken up with him and told him to fuck off. But he just brought you sadness and heartache.’Giovann
Chapter 20Michael,We sat silently watching the woman, who looked like shit but still seemed fierce.Lola’s lawyer Miss Javier was fresh out of prison and she was pissed and I wasn’t sure if it was because she was locked up for an entire month or something bad happened again.I haven’t seen Lola for a month now and since that kill attempt thirty days ago; I was forbidden from going out and I was forced to take a long vacation from work.I tried to talk to Gabriel, but he refused to listen, especially with everyone supporting his decision. I don’t give a fuck about work or not going out. I just wanted to visit Lola and make sure that she was ok.She must have been worried about me, especially after knowing about the accident, but I couldn’t visit her or even talk to her on the phone.The entire villa was in lockdown mood and all of us had to listen to my brother’s orders. The only thing that kept me in check was that the CO in prison told us that she was okay and still alive.“OK, be
Chapter 21Lola,“Hey, my little fighter is here.”Isabella said, greeting me the moment I entered the small visiting room, then she sneered at CO Smith, who was accompanying me.“Wow, you two are really something. Both of you are fresh out of the Shu. I think our dear Lola here should search for another lawyer because you aren’t that good after all.”The bitch woman said grinning and my lawyer and I ignored both of them as I began to pace the small room, barely waiting for the CO to leave.I wanted to know how is my family doing and if Michael was okay or if everyone was lying to me. I had some news when I was in the hole, but Diaz might be lying.He said that he talked to Michael personally, but he might be saying that so I won’t be depressed and something happens to me. Last time when I lost my shit here, he freaked out.“And leave you alone? I can’t do that Suzan, you are my favorite CO in here. I really enjoy taking away your favorite inmates.”Isabella said sweetly, and the CO s
