Daniel comes back to me and look at this new occupant. The other bartender already give him his drink." You want something?" Daniel asks the guy." How much did Gray pay you to look after his little girlfriend?" The guy asks Daniel." What do you really want , Cage ?" Daniel asks." Mind your business man , or I won't hold back to fuck you up." He threatens Daniel." If he do shit , call me okay. I'd better have Gray kill me or fire me than have you throw a punch at me." He directs his last statement to the guy before leaving.Cage or whatever his name is, chuckles and turns to look at me." Why did Gray have to bring you here , Ariel?"" How did you know my name?"He chuckles again and chug half his drink." You are Gray's. Who doesn't know you. You shouldn't have come here in the first place . The fact that you're in his club doesn't mean they can't hurt you." He winks and smirks." I don't know wh

I wake up to an empty bed the following morning. I rub my eyes and blink them. The bustling and rustling of the busy city below us can be heard. I mean this is New York , what am I supposed to expect.I push the blanket aside and sit up on the bed with my feet not even close to the floor. I sigh and walk to the floor to ceiling glass walls that view the city. I itch my eyelids and push the white drapes aside. I look down at the city below the penthouse and they look tiny.I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and yesterday’s incident flows into my head. Gangsters. Gangsters who wants him dead and also they want me as bait to get whatever thing they need from Gray. I don’t even blame them that much. What ever shitty business Gray did , I’m sure he hurt a lot of people. And this stupid shooting stunt isn’t ending any time soon. I drop the toothbrush and stare at my reflection. I look a bit weird because of last night’s stunt.

Okay Ariel.Don't panic. Think positive. Maybe the doctor's took her out for some treatment and they couldn't do the treatment in her room.What if they shot her again?What if she's kidnapped?What if she's dead?What if—?Jesus , for Christ sake think positive. If anything happens to her , her parents will never forgive me. No matter how hard I try to apologise." What the fuck! Where the fuck is she? She was right here , right?" Piper rambles.I think I'm the only one who's panicking." Okay. We should look at the bright side. She might be around. Let's check under the bed. Maybe she was attacked by some weirdo and she was pushed under the bed." I say.Piper looks at me weirdly and blink her eyes. God , why's this even happening in the first place. Obviously I know why , I said i don't want a college student as a boyfriend and then I chose to date a mystery man called Gray Carter. So much for fall

"Alexa!" I squeak surprisingly and pull her into a bear hug. She giggles and hug me with one hand while the other holds Blue firmly. " Jesus." I smile and shut the door. " Sup girl! You look pretty. Damn , when last did I saw you?" Alexa asks sitting on the couch. " Last week." I sigh and sit next to her to observe her. " How are you? What happened? We checked on you yesterday at the hospital and then boom , you're gone except for a dead man underneath your bed." I explain. She exhales sharply and drops Blue on the floor. " Vladimir sent someone to kill me after he discovered I made it. I woke up from coma yesterday and I saw him , he wanted to inject me to death and make it look like an overdose." She shrugs her shoulders and rub her palms down her hair. " So what happened?" She smirks and cocks her brows." You know I'm a good fighter. I punched him and stabbed his eyes with the needle. And

I stand up from my chair and rush after Leslie. " Ariel." Alexa calls out but i ignore them." Leslie." I call out her name once I'm outside the restaurant. She stops walking down the sidewalk with Hazel. She turns to look at me and crosses her arms. I stalk towards her and sigh. Her mascara already smudge her eyes and she looks pale. I take a step forward and stuff my hands in my back pockets." I'm really sorry about what happened." I say.She raises her brows and laughs. Hazel chuckles and glares at me." Stop acting like I'm the cause of whatever thing that happened back there. I wanted to make sure you're okay."" Why should you care?" Leslie asks." Maybe because we're sisters and we should always look out for each other."" I don't fuckin care about you. I mean you're this little tiny girl who's got popular and almighty Gray wrapped around her fingers. And you have a fuckin Ferrari too. Don't act

"What!" I exclaim. I mean I didn't expect Leslie to be this wicked. I tried not to make her feel hurt by always covering up for her and she has the nerve to turn the table around." Ariel." Mom and dad turns to look at me as they drop their forks.I look at Leslie who scowls at me. I bite my tongue in order to stop myself from punching her. If she's not lucky , I don't mind sending her to the hospital again. I am trying not to flip right now." Ariel is it true? You got pregnant?" Mom asks." This is crazy. First you asked me if it was true and secondly your beloveth daughter thought it was nice to turn the table around." I chuckle." What do you mean? You committed an abortion?" Dad asks with rage.I ignore their questions and look at Leslie ." You're such a coward. You're just jealous of me because you've never been with anyone who's willing to give you everything. Why don't you be mature and tell our par

" So who's this Sinclair ? And what does he look like ?" I ask Gray on our way to God knows where. " He's nothing Ariel. Just a mob boss and don't take that personal." Gray answers.Another mob boss. First it was Cage and now Sinclair is also involve with the mobs." Why did you glare at Trent to stop talking ?" " I notice you were being uneasy and uncomfortable. Imagine someone asking if you're a daughter to some weirdo. You didn't like the choice of topic , I had to help." He says.He's right. I was uncomfortable. Yeah , I didn't like the topic at all. Why did he have to ask me such questions. It's irritating." Are you also a mob boss ?" I ask and turn to look at Gray. He doesn't look tense or even bothered." Why are you asking me that ? You should know me better than the others. I've given you a lot of information about me that I haven't given anyone." " Pfft." " Tinkerbell."

I feel weak and not numb anymore. My feet aches and my body aches too. I try to move my hand but I can't. I think I'm restrain. I slowly open my eyes and look around my new environment. Everything looks dark. No windows but I can see a small door at the end. I try to sit up , but my feet are being tied together Including my hands." Oh my God!" I panic.I hear distant chattering and I'm pretty sure it's not too far from here. I look down at my hands that are tied and it's handcuffed. Both my legs are chained together with a chain built to the wall. God why did I chose to keep my hair up without a pin. Of all the days really. I don't even know what's the time? What if I've been out for few days or maybe a week. Where's my phone? Alexa. What must have happened to her? I look around the cold floor and there's nothing I can do about this chain. I can't believe I'm gonna die like this. I can't believe I didn't get to visit italy before dying. And my yacht ride

GRAY"Boss , he's here." Manny says and I nod." Be alerted." I tell him.He nods and I take the stairs below. We're at the top of a casino building. I take the flight of stairs down and I appear at an empty passage. I worry about Ariel , I actually told Carl and Spencer to keep an eye on her once i leave just to be sure she'll be safe. First thing , I actually didn't travel with a mobile phone because of this shitty business stuff. After I left Chicago , I had to fly to italy to sort out an asshole who thought it was nice to rat me out to a goddamn dectective.I shove my hands in my jacket pocket and stalk past the empty passage. The faint music from the club blast through the passage. I sigh once i arrive at the club. Gamblers were everywhere. They chant and laugh with shots of tequila in their grasp. " The infamous Gray Carter." He smirks and stop

GRAY I never thought I could feel heartbroken or even feel forsaken. I never thought I was ever gonna fall in love with a girl or even care for someone so much. Ariel fuckin made me feel weak. When you get involved with dangerous shit like the Mafia or even decides to do narcotics , you gotta be sure you got nothing to loose. No lover , no kid , nothing , so they won't hit you back expecting you're gonna loose something. When Kennedy was born, I made sure she stays far away from me because, I wanted to make sure she's okay. But why can't I let Ariel stay away from me. Manny sighs after he stiitch up the bullet wound. I got shot when I was trying to save her. " You're in love." Manny says and close the first aid kit. I look down at my bandages around my arm. " Yeah?"" She's pretty and a nice person. I might not be good wit
