080. He must not know

JAYCE BECKETT "Hey," he said, his smile faltering for a moment as he wiped his hands on his pants, the gesture made it feel like he was nervous. "You're here." I closed the door behind me and crossed the room to meet him, my eyes locking onto his with concern. "Is everything alright?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Cole's smile seemed forced, and I could sense there was something wrong with him."Yes," he sighed, taking my hand and pulling me down to sit beside Curtis on the bed, the softness of the mattress enveloping me. He took his seat back on the chair, his hands wrapping around my knees like a lifeline, his eyes searching mine with a quiet desperation."You didn't come back since yesterday," he stated, his voice a low, husky whisper that wasn't meant to be a question. "Is it because of me?" His eyes searched mine, filled with a quiet vulnerability. "Oh, no!" I quickly reassured him, shaking my head emphatically. "It's not you. I was busy with some stuff." We'd

081. Can't lose him

RENATO MARINO I couldn't afford to fuck with them; I shouldn't even think about crossing them. But I was willing to cross a line for him, to risk everything, just to get that damn fed away from him.This shouldn't be my problem; his problem shouldn't be my goddamn business. Yet, I couldn't sit still and watch that damn sheep dance blindly around the wolves, oblivious to the danger lurking in every shadow around him.Jayce would get devoured alive, his innocence and trust exploited by those who preyed on the weak. He wouldn't even realize his fate until he was already buried six feet under, his bright smile and sparkling eyes extinguished forever.Those bastards weren't who he thought they were; their smiles hid razor-sharp teeth, their words dripped with honeyed poison. How could he not have his suspicions? Did he really think they were his friends, his allies? My mind seethed with frustration and concern as I thought about Jayce's naivety. He was a lamb led to the slaughter, unawa

082. Please don't leave me

JAYCE BECKETT "I still can't find it," I let out, pulling away from my car. It had been over five hours since I left the hospital to escape Cole for a little while, and when I got back about an hour ago, I met him by my car in the parking lot, standing there and waiting for me. He was demanding that I open the car and bring out my wedding band. When I told him I didn't have my key with me, he gave me the spare key to my car. First, it had been years since Cole gifted me this car, and I didn't expect him to still have the spare key. Secondly, I couldn't exactly understand why he had the spare key with him. Had he been carrying my car key around, just like he had been doing with my apartment keys?"You said it was in your car," he said, without even turning to look at me. I could tell he was angry that I had lied to him. "I'm sorry, Cole," I grumbled, scratching my head. "I really didn't know where I kept it." It was already dark, and he insisted that we wouldn't leave until we f
