All Chapters of Wet Nights : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Shemika's POV"No, listen to me," he said, voice steady. "If I ever die, and it happens to be by your hand, then at least I'll die knowing I gave everything to the one woman who truly made me feel alive. To the woman who carries fire in her bones, and pain in her soul, and still chooses to breathe."That cracked something inside me. My tears came back, more this time. My lips trembled. "I don't want to be like this anymore, Bishop. I don't want to carry this rage, this hate. But every time I close my eyes, I see Maya... crying, begging. I see my mother's bloody face. I hear Don Marcos' voice in my head. I smell the blood. It's like I'm still there, like I never left. And the more I remember... the more hatred builds inside me like a volcano waiting to erupt." I sobbed.My hand went to my chest. It was burning as I clutched onto my dress like I was holding to life. "I'm tired. I'm so fucking tired." I cried heavily.Bishop didn't say anything. He just moved closer and pulled me into hi

Bishop's POVIf it's the same Mary that I used to know, then I'm certain she'll never come back to me. Mary would never hurt her pride for me. "Yes Boss, she's the one." Dom responded."And she said she wants to see me?" I asked again, still shocked."Yes, boss. She insisted." Dom answered.I didn't even have time to process Dom's response before the door burst open.Mary stormed into my office like she owned the place. Her heels clicking hard against the marble floor as she made her way in. Her eyes were teary, her lips shaking like she was at the verge of breaking down. Dom reached for her, trying to stop her.I noticed her expression, she wasn't looking okay. Something was wrong."It's fune. Let her come," I told Dom, waving him off.Dom hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped back out, gently closing the door behind him.I stood from my seat, surprised more than anything. And definitely annoyed. "What are you doing here, Mary?" I asked plainlyI didn't even finish the que

Shemika's POVI didn't waste any second longer in the club, I made my way out immediately and I headed back to the penthouse.Outside the club, I waved a cab down and climbed into it with so much urgency.It was as if I was scared that Bishop would suddenly show up and as far as I'm concerned, he's the last thing I want to see.It wasn't a long ride, I could barely even clear my head in the car before we arrived at the front of the towering building. I stepped out and paid the cab driver before angrily storming away and straight into the penthouse.My heart was pounding really hard and fast, and my chest felt really tight like I had been holding in a scream-one that's driving me crazy. As soon as I stepped into the building and took the elevator to the 7th floor where my room was situated, I barely was paying attention to anything or anybody else. My mind was just too occupied and I felt empty inside.I started to slam my fingers against the elevator's button, I was hitting hard on i

Shemika's POVThe air in my room felt thick-like it was pressing down on my chest as Synn and I sat there, still trying to process what we'd just heard in that recording.I strolled out of the kitchen and Synn followed, then we sat at the edge of the bed, thoughtless.We stared blankly at each other for a while before she finally broke the growing silence."We can't just sit here," Synn suddenly blurted, jolting up from the bed and started to pace like she had way too much energy to stay still. "We need to track her down. Tonight." She added.I looked up slowly, my brows tightening. "Track her?" I was confused.I really don't want to involve myself in any of Lexi's mess anymore, I already had enough of her. "Yes, we have to follow Lexi. We find out exactly what she's planning and who she's meeting. We won't confront her yet-we will just watch." Synn proposed, but she didn't seem to be asking for my opinion on this, it was as if she was clearly dictating to me what we're gonna do.I h

Shemika's POVHer eyes stayed wide with panic, but after a few seconds, she nodded.We stayed completely still, hearts thudding so loud I was sure whoever was out there could hear us, however, the footsteps passed-slow, steady-and then faded.When we were sure it was clear, we crept out of the hiding and peeped through the holes to confirm everything was clear before stepping out.Then without hesitation, we rushed out and made our way out of the underground shit we found ourselves.Lexi and Synn were at my front and they made their way out already, but I didn't follow them immediately. I saw something.Something really strange and it made my heart thud twice.Of course, I wasn't daydreaming, I did see it.It was someone, a man, in an apron-bloody apron. He looks like a butcher from a horror movie and then the knife. The knife he was holding wasn't just a knife, it looked strange and everything about the way he had blood all over him made it even more creepy.I tried to look away, to
