*Audry*

“Do you have anything to add, Audry?” Dominic Molton asked me.

Everyone at the table turned to look at me. The man at the head of the table, Mr. Molton, was the leader of the Molton Family, a prominent gang here in Detroit.

“Yes, I’ve noticed that there is no guard at the gate between one-thirty and two since Jerry is taking his lunch break. We need to have someone cover for him during that time or else, anyone who knows the passcode could get through,” I explained to Mr. Molton.

The older man looked impressed by my catch and his gray eyebrows shot up.

“What a smart idea, Audry,” Mr. Molton pointed out. Then, he addressed everyone else in the room. “You see, this is why Audry has risen to such a high rank in the short amount of time that she’s been with us. It’s her attention to detail that sets her apart from everyone else. Matthew.” Mr. Molton turned to the man on the right side of him. “Will you please make sure that is dealt with immediately?”

“Of course, sir.” Matthew, the leader’s second in command, nodded and made a note on the computer before him.

“Once again, Audry, good job,” Mr. Molton said and gave me a rare smile.

To the leader’s left-hand side, I saw Daniel, the leader’s son, roll his eyes.

I suppressed a smile at Daniel’s reaction. He hated when his father praised me. Daniel was the next in line for being the leader—technically, he could take over any day now—but it seemed like his father didn’t think he was ready yet. I hadn’t been a part of the gang for very long, but Mr. Molton trusted me and that pissed his son off.

While Mr. Molton ended the meeting, I looked around at the other people sitting at the table. Jace, Daniel’s best friend, wore his usual frown. I’d been here for six months and I’d never seen that guy smile once. Gabriel sat right across from me—he was Mr. Molton’s younger brother and Daniel’s uncle. The rest of the people sitting at the table had been with the family for at least ten years and had proven their loyalty to them countless times.

All except for me. It was unheard of for someone to be only part of the gang for six months and already be sitting in during the top-secret meetings.

I heard the whispers that followed me around the house. I knew what people said about me. They thought that Mr. Molton was making a mistake in trusting the young, doe-eyed girl. But in the short time I’d been here, I’d proven how much my street and book smarts could help Mr. Molton and his businesses.

Daniel was spearheading the ‘Don’t Trust Audry’ campaign. As long as his father kept me around, I honestly didn’t care what his son thought.

The funny thing was that Daniel was one-hundred percent correct. No one in the Molton Family should trust me.

Soon, I would take them all down and slit Mr. Molton’s throat with a smile on my face.

After the meeting was over, I was in the grand entryway, grabbing my jacket off the coat hanger. As I put on my burnt orange jacket, I glared around at all the expensive things in the Molton’s mansion, from the crystal ball on the wooden table to the white porcelain tile I was standing on.

I could never live on their property like most of the members. The Molton’s liked to pretend they weren’t corrupt like the rest of the gangs on the streets of Detroit, but I knew deep down they were.

They bought all these possessions with blood money.

I walked over to the wooden front door, but before I could open it, a voice came from behind me.

“Leaving so soon, Audry?”

Daniel Molton. I would recognize that deep, silky voice anywhere.

I turned around and fixed a small smile on my face. I walked to where he was leaning against the staircase banister. I studied him, gauging his mood. The leader’s son was undeniably handsome. He had dark brown eyes, short black hair, and a bit of facial hair that made him look more manly, if that was even possible. Daniel spent a lot of his time in the home gym and it showed. He had a muscular yet lean frame. I had to incline my head to talk to him because he was freaking tall, a fact that pissed me off.

I stood closer to him than a conversation warranted because I wanted him to know I wasn’t intimidated by his presence.

“Some of us aren’t lucky enough to live in this beautiful home, Daniel. I do have to go home at some point,” I told him sweetly.

His eyes tightened, but he controlled his expression. “If I’m not mistaken, my father has offered you a room in the manor, has he not?”

Damn it, how did he know about that?

“My lease on my apartment isn’t up until next year,” I responded with a shrug.

That was a complete lie.

Daniel’s expressive eyes trailed up and down my body until they stopped on my lips. “What a shame,” he said in a low voice, his eyes finally returning to mine.

His reaction pissed me off. I knew that he wasn’t actually attracted to me; he could have any girl he wanted. This was just part of the silent game we played. Daniel didn’t trust me, with good reason, so he tried to use his good looks to see what I was really up to. Even though I was attracted to him, to my complete annoyance, I would never let a pretty face ruin my plan.

“Wish I could stand here and chat, but I have to go feed my cat,” I said and turned around.

I didn’t have a cat or any pets for that matter. This was my go-to excuse when I wanted to leave the Molton Family’s estate.

“Well, I’m sure I’ll see you soon,” Daniel said to my back.

It didn’t sound like a casual goodbye. No, he meant it as a warning. He was watching me. I didn’t respond, but merely waved and walked out the front door.

I could finally relax when I made it outside. The crisp, fall-fresh air allowed me to think clearly. As I walked to the bus station, I thought about Daniel, something I often did, which was a problem in itself. Why did I have to be attracted to the person who trusted me the least in the house? It just made my situation more complicated and I couldn’t let it get in the way of my overall goal.

I rode the bus to my apartment and thought about Daniel’s eyes traveling down my body…

Cut it out, Audry!

I couldn't allow myself to be distracted by anything. No, this was too important. My plan was too personal to be ruined because I had the hots for some handsome boy.

When I got off the bus, the sun was setting. I walked down the sidewalk with my hand in my purse, gripping my stun gun. The neighborhood my apartment was in was shitty for even Detroit standards. But I picked it because it was close to the Molton’s house and the rent was cheap. Mr. Molton paid me decently, but prices kept going up.

I let myself into my tiny residence and threw my purse on the kitchen table. The difference between my place and the Molton’s was laughable. It was like comparing the sun and the moon—it was impossible. But I was comfortable here. This was the only place I could truly be myself.

I ate a quick dinner of the cheapest frozen meal I found at the grocery store, then took a shower. As I was drying off, I stared at my reflection; my long blonde hair, blue eyes, a nose that was too small for my face, and a small frame. These features have been a part of me my whole life, but the dark circles and pale face were a new addition.

I dressed in my favorite loungewear, my father’s old college sweatshirt and black shorts. I had to keep all of my clothes hanging up in a closet in the hallway or a storage bin. The closet in my room was being used for something else. Something much more important.

With my hair still wet, I entered my tiny bedroom. I opened the closet door and stared at the thing I’d been working on for the past year and a half. I started it the day after my father was shot and killed in a gang shoot-out. Then, it had only been three words on a white piece of paper.

The Molton Family.

That night, I swore to get revenge on the gang that took away the only family I had left. I dropped out of the police academy, even though I was almost finished. I had been following in my father’s footsteps. He had been so proud of me when I said I wanted to become a cop just like him.

But then he was shot and my whole world stopped turning.

So, I started my theory board, which I hid away in my closet. I used my old connections on the streets to get in with the Moltons. I’d been collecting information on them and everything was detailed on the board in front of me. I used red yarn to connect details and information, creating what appeared to be a chaotic map, but to me, it was well organized and showed the progress I made.

I became obsessed.

Finding the gang who shot my father, who was responsible for taking away the only parent I had left, quickly became my only reason for living.

Even though I was now part of the Molton Family’s inner circle, I hadn’t acted yet because I wasn’t one hundred percent sure they were responsible for my father’s death. I needed irrefutable evidence that it was them. I wouldn’t compromise my morals and ruin the lives of people who didn’t deserve it.

But if I found out they were the ones who pulled the trigger, I would not hesitate to take down their gang from the inside. I had enough information collected to ruin everything they had worked for.

I would also kill whoever shot my father. If it turned out it was Daniel, I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot him directly in his handsome head.

Because the people who killed him deserved to pay for their sins. They took away a good, honest man. A man who changed my life and gave me a future when I thought I was destined for the streets. They not only took away my father’s life, they took away mine too. I was just the shell of the girl I used to be.

With a sigh, I sat in front of my theory board and added the information I’d learned today.

I was one step closer to finding my father’s killer. Which meant I was one step closer to becoming a murderer myself.

    Before I could even fully enjoy the feeling of Daniel’s tongue against me, he stopped what he was doing and I felt a hand clamped over my mouth. I looked over and somehow Daniel was next to me. “I seem to remember asking you to be quiet,” he said with a stern expression as he took his hand away from my mouth. “Oops, sorry,” I said, not feeling apologetic at all. “Are you going to keep quiet? If not, then you won’t get what you want,” Daniel warned me. I pretended to zip my mouth closed. He smiled. “Good. Now I can enjoy myself again.” Then he was back on the floor, kneeling in front of me in a blink of an eye. Daniel licked my wet center and I had to stuff my fist in my mouth to keep from screaming again. He set a fast rhythm, licking my pussy and rubbing my clit. Daniel pushed his finger into me and it took him a moment because I was so tight around him. “Damn, baby. I need to get you ready to fit my cock inside you,” Daniel told me when he ca

    Daniel was standing in the middle of the room holding a bouquet of orange tulips and plastic black flowers. I loved the color palette he had chosen because I automatically knew what he was going for—Halloween colors. “What did I do to deserve these?” I asked as I walked over to where he was standing and took the flowers from him. My cheeks began to warm as I held the bouquet, chewing on my bottom lip.Daniel shrugged. “I owe you a lot more than flowers,” he said with a grin. “This is only the start of the surprises though. I’m taking you out of town. I think we could both use a little getaway.” My heart began beating with excitement as I gripped the flowers.“Pack a bag. We are going somewhere for two nights.” I opened my mouth to ask more questions, but he held up his hands. “That’s all I’m going to say right now.”I tried to get it out of him while I packed, but he wouldn’t say a word. I was so excited to leave this city behind us for a little while. We had

    After I shot Aaron, I immediately turned to Dominic.“I’m so sorry. I-I…” But I didn’t have an excuse other than the fact that I thought it was the right thing to do. The right thing for me anyway. Even though we had technically agreed that I could be the one to kill Aaron at our last meeting, it felt like the situation had changed. I didn’t regret shooting him, not even for a second, but now I was scared of how everyone was going to react. Mr. Molton was the leader and it was his decision. I was hoping he wasn’t mad at me. Also, the Chief of Police was here. Sara could easily arrest me for what I just did. It could be technically counted as murder because Aaron hadn’t been pointing a gun at me when I shot him. There were many witnesses to my crime. All these scenarios were going through my mind in rapid succession and I was beginning to feel dizzy.“I understand why you shot him, Audry,” Mr. Molton told me. He patted my shoulder in a fatherly sort of way. Dominic

    I didn’t even lift my gun to defend myself against Aaron. I didn’t have enough time and all the fight seemed to have seeped out of me now that Daniel was lying motionless at my feet. In the back of my mind, I realized that I could hear again. But what did anything matter if Daniel was dead? I knew I should be angry and screaming with rage right now. But I felt paralyzed by my numbness. My brain refused to accept what I knew to be true. I wouldn’t even allow myself to look down. I couldn’t.So much had happened tonight that I couldn’t process Daniel was dead and I was about to be shot. Was this really how our story was going to end? After everything we had been through this past month, this was how it all ended? I just hoped that someone took out Aaron after he shot me.I closed my eyes, accepting my fate. Then something amazing happened. I heard someone grunt on the ground. It sounded like Daniel, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Could it be my imagina

    Chaos ensued and for a moment, I didn’t know which way was up. On pure instinct, I crouched down and covered my head as bullets flew through the air. I army crawled to the Moltons’ side because that was my best chance at survival.I heard gasps of pain and thuds as people fell. I just hoped that it wasn’t any of my friends. My jeans tore on a rock and I felt warm blood seeping through the hole in my pants, but I kept going. I couldn’t afford to stop.Now I was public enemy number one. I had just tried to kill Taddeos’ gang leader.How had I not noticed that the gun wasn’t loaded? I wasn’t in my right mind, to be fair. I had been so focused on wanting to kill my father’s murderer that I hadn’t inspected the weapon I was given to do it. I should have finished the cadets. I dropped out before target practice. I kept crawling over to the Moltons’ side and made my way slowly but surely. My heart felt like it was pounding in my ears. It felt like someone was controlling

  • The Undercover Cadet's Bloody Romance   Chapter 45 : Trade-off

    *Audry*I held on tight to the gun as Aaron led me through the large house. It was completely different than twenty minutes ago. I watched as the Taddeos ran around the house to prepare for the trade-off with their biggest enemies. I watched in horror as everyone collected guns from hidden places around the house.I clutched my weapon and stared at the huge firearms the members were arming themselves with. I noticed that most of Taddeos’ members were burly men with serious expressions on their faces. The Moltons were sure to be outnumbered. I was fearful for Franky, Lyle, Mina, and all the other friends who made up the Molton Family.I wondered if Sara Walker was going to be present at the trade-off. Would she be bringing her team? “I thought you wanted peace?” I asked Aaron, and looked pointedly at his team preparing for battle. He was leading me to a sitting room with his hands behind his back. “Just because I want peace, doesn’t mean I’m a fool,” Aar
