Ashanti“I just received the location from Lucien” The guys looked at me, “Where is it?”“About three hours' drive from here. It's further out of the city” I answer Marcus as he watches me closely.Caleb is currently at the safe house with Lee, while Angel and the rest of them are at the warehouse since yesterday.“He sure has this plan, doesn't he?”“He does, are you guys ready?” A silly question to ask, since we've been ready about eight this morning.We took a bath, had breakfast, and been waiting for his message. Strangely, Roman has been looking at me differently since last night, I don't want to think about what it is, but I'm intrigued.“Can we at least talk before we go?” Roman asks as he walks up to stand before me.I peer over his shoulders to find Marcus looking at us, his eyes meet mine before he looks away.“Sure” I nod as I turn to head to my bedroom, his quiet but sure footsteps follow me.He walks into the room after me, the thudding of the door closing and the lock be

AshantiMason looks at me and smiles, “You don't mean that, okay? When all this is over, I'll show you how much I love you”“You don't he's going to let me walk out of here alive? Or You? You just signed our death certificate, well, yours because even if he doesn't kill you, I'll make sure to do it myself”He scoffs, “He's not going to harm you, and we will be together. You'll see”My Chest is burning with anger, I redirect my gaze to meet the old ones of Lucien, he smirks when our eyes lock. I glared at him, and he smiles “You're feisty Ashanti, imagine what I thought when I heard you were working with Roman, we've been great. We've done so much together”I scoff, “We were never going to work, you don't trust me as far as you can throw me, same with me. I don't trust you, I never did, and I was right to do so”He smirks, “What I'm curious to know is how you were able Roman was able to convince you to join him. How was that possible?” He turns his eyes to Roman and grins when he looks

AshantiI run outside just as the gunshots get louder, it's complete chaos out here.I spot Marcus walking with his guns blazing and taking men down left and right. I can't help but grin. He's a beast.I would like to join in, but I've got a man to target and if anyone steps in my way, they won't live to tell the story.“Duck” Yelled Roman, I just managed to bend before the bullet breeze over my head, I whipped my head up to see a bulky man, I ducked back and looked around for an exit route.I don't want Lucas leaving this building, Roman pulls the trigger and there's a thud on the other side, I nod at him and stand to run while running left and right, helping whoever I can.On my left, I see Angel fighting a man twice her size with bare hands, why men underestimate this woman, I'll never know. I whip out my knife and shoot at the back of the man's knee, he hollers just as Angel somersaults and lands on his neck. She wrap her legs tight around him and winked at me just as she breaks hi

“Okay. We're waiting for you” I smiled and goes to turn around when I heard a gun sound, I felt the impact before a body falls over me and the smell of blood filled the air.I screamed as I realized the body belongs to Mason, I pushed him to the ground and hover over him.“What's going on?! What the hell happened?!” Caleb screams at the end of the line “What's happening Ashanti?!”“Breathe Mason!” I watch as he struggles to breathe, his eyes are on me, “Fucking fight Mason, you're okay to be okay!”He smiles, although it's a grimace, “I never thought the day would come that I'll see you crying for me” He chokes out, and that made my tears fall harder.“Stop talking please!” I sob, “You're okay to be okay! You're going to be okay! You will be okay” I repeated more to myself than to him “You're going to be okay!”Blood is gushing out of his shirt, I just know he was hit in the chest. I apply pressure on the wound, “Help!” I scream, Angel and Roman run over us, "Help us! Caleb sends help!

Dear Readers,Thank you so much for being on this journey that took me almost a year to complete.
