“GET THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS!” Jax shouted, his AK forty-seven roaring to life and kicking back with such brutal force that it caused his arms to jerk upwards as he walked to the car that had now slowed down to get a better shot. His other henchmen moved with him, shooting against the car.He grunted when he saw the rear windscreen of the goons’ car shatter. One of the goons turned to Jax to shoot him with a pistol, but Jax took cover with the big black S U V beside him. After a few seconds, he popped his head out again and, citing an opportunity, he shot the goon who tied a black bandana on his head. Immediately, the goon on the steering wheel saw one of his men dead, he pushed down on the accelerator.“Shoot the tires!” Jax ran after the car, but he and his men couldn't quite hit the tires, and they were getting away.“Grab those bastards for me!” Jax told his men, and the ten of them jumped in their vehicle as it screeched out of the driveway onto the main road in seconds.Immediately

It has been four days since we opened the bakery. I had about a hundred thousand dollars sitting pretty in my bank account. Even though the money still belonged to Alessandro I couldn't help the feeling of pride that swelled within me at having that amount of money in my account. The same person who barely had a thousand dollars to her name eight months ago now has about fifty five thousand dollars which Is mine and a total of a hundred thousand dollars in my account. That is growth in my definition. I dreamt sweet dreams with these thoughts in my head. I woke up the next day feeling so fly and happy. Who says money doesn't buy happiness? I felt as though I could buy the world with just fifty five thousand dollars in my name. And people say that money doesn't buy happiness. What would happen when I have a million dollars to my name? I might as well walk on water.I stood from my bed. I put on the sound system and connected it to my phone and began to play music.I swayed my body f

“You noticed I changed my perfume,” Ruby said warily, not sure where the conversation was going. It's been a long while since she changed her perfume."Of course, I did,” Alessandro replied with a confident smile. “This is not the scent you wore on the night we first met, and I must say, I loved that scent. You smelt like heaven.”It dawned on Ruby that he was talking about Camilla, and in as much as she wanted to frown, her face revealed a toothy grin. “Thank you so much for the compliment. Maybe I should wear it more often.”“Yeah. You should wear that every day. Not that the one you are wearing is bad, but that one is better.” He explained, “The lady at the bakery seems to be wearing the same scent that you wore that night.”“Yeah, I recommended the perfume to her. Just like you, she likes the perfume and asked me about it.”“What’s the perfume's name, and who made it?”Ruby swallowed. This was going to be much harder than she thought.“Uh, Magic…” she drawled. She wore a blank face,

A FEW HOURS BEFORE“I'm sorry I can't join you, Alessandro,” Camilla’s tone reeked of finality. Alessandro opened His mouth to speak, but he was short of words to persuade her. So his mouth lay open as he watched her as she ambled out of his room.Alessandro threw himself on the bed, brushing his hands down his face in frustration. What was happening? The obsession over her was becoming too much. Could it be that he loved her? Or he just wanted to sleep with her. It couldn't be lust. He craved more than her body. He craved her presence around him. What must he do? Tell her? What if it was a short-lived infatuation? What if she doesn't accept him? What would he do?He lay on his bed and tumbled from one end of the bed to another, his chest and heart heavy with pain.He splayed himself on the bed, willing himself to sleep, but he only seemed to mull over his conversation with Camilla and her rejection. He replayed the events, and each replay was another push over the brink of heartbr
