"Do you want to know why?" He asked softly, respecting her wish by giving some distance between them.She stared at him, silently begging him to tell her and at the same time, not utter a word."Because I love you, Mila." He whispered.Linda spat out the wine in her mouth. Her eyes almost fell off the sockets of her eyes.This was not what they'd talked about.Mila froze, her spirit literally jumped out of her body."I know how crazy I sound right now, but that's the truth." He professed. "Putting my feelings aside, were you really thinking that I'll hate you when you've been nothing but a victim your entire life?" He twisted his brows."And you can not deny that you do not feel anything for me?" He challenged.True, her heart beats for him every single time, but….there was a huge but."You are crazy," she whispered in a barely audible whisper, accompanied by a dry nervous chuckle."You always put up this aggressive attitude against me, you say the meanest things anyone has ever said

Brantley's Revelation"They were not following him, they were protecting him from you, the P.I …." She paused, realization dawned on her. The puzzle pieces began to fall in place. She needed to find the private investigator."How secure is your mansion?" She asked."Very secure? Why ask?" He still could not understand anything she said."Go home and stay there, get your men, all of them." She instructed."Why? what is wrong?" He held her hand back when she turned to walk. away."Is Randy around?" She asked."Yeah, why? Jeez, can you atleast fill me in. All this tension and suspense is killing me." He grumbled, but he was genuinely concerned and worried.She shook her head in denial, "if what I think is correct, then I swear that I'll raise hell on this earth today." She swore through gritted teeth.He could see the hollowness and lifelessness in her when she spoke, it was as though she was about to go up in flames.He took a step back. He had never seen her this terrifying before, if

"Oh My Goodness!" Fabiola held her hand over her mouth when she stepped in and saw what made Dom stop in his tracks.It was the same man she'd led into the condo, he leaned back in his chair, but with a bullet holrle in his head and one to the neck.Blood oozed out.It was a fresh dead, probably in the early hours of the morning."Poor him," she said coldy. "He probably messed with the wrong people."That's what happens when you mess with the Cartel," Dom said.'Or the Vert's.' Fabiola said mentally."Let's see if we could find any clue." Fabiola suggested."Do you think they would leave any evidence behind?" Dom reasoned."Maybe he wasn't killed by the Glacier Cartel, maybe he was working on another case." She argued."Gloves?" She asked.He pulled out a pair of disposable gloves from his trousers pocket and handed it to her.He had his black gloves on as usual.They searched through the already scattered files on the floor and table, but they were random papers with bills and other s

"Monty?" She called out unconsciously. It was the Monty she knew, the one she'd beaten up that night at the bar. His face was beyond recognition, if not of his familiar big self and his arms tattoos, she probably would not have recognized him.Both men were in a much more shitty condition compared to the other Monty…. Monty I Both men could barely open their eyes, talk less of moving. "Why is pops keeping them alive?" She asked herself, furrowing her brows."He thought that you might want to take a look at them before he… you know….? Dom said behind her.She jerked off in fright."What the fuck are you doing sneaking behind me?" She scolded him.He looked at her innocently."Pops told me to join you down here." He replied.She quickly thought about her conversation with Monty I. "How long have you been here?" She asked Dom."I just got here, why?" He asked back.She glanced at him with her side eye, "don't ask me questions." She snapped."Don't ask me questions." He mimicked her voi

Despite the overdosed morphine, she still felt a pang of pain, maybe it was just a psychological phenomenon but all the same, she tried her best to ignore it.He leaned down and kissed her lip, preying her mouth open with his tongue as he deepened the kiss and squeezed her butt.She did not fully reciprocate the kiss, but she did not completely shut him off either, but he could still detect her reluctance.He broke off, " why do you seem not interested in anything today?" Frost asked."Because like I said, I had a tough week plus I'm pretty nervous looking forward to my new job." She did not sound rude though, he let her attitude pass off as her being nervous.They chatted a little before they parted ways.Monty was not around to show her around or lead her downstairs, but she knew where to find the mask, surprisingly, the locker was opened.She grabbed her gas mask and made her way down to the vaporized bar.It took the grace of God for her not to forget everything and jam to the musi
