All Chapters of BLOOD AND DEVOTION : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

JUSTIN: “Again” I shout and she does another push up, “again” and another and another till she falls flat to the ground. It's been three days with non stop training, she has improved significantly, with the jogging every morning, target practice, fist fighting, sometimes I'm going to bed and I still hear her practicing. She laid down on the floor, trying to catch her breath, her arm was still bandaged so I was easy on her when it came to push ups and weight lifting. “You good?” I squat beside her. “Yep” she said breathlessly. “Okay” I stand up, stretch out my hand and drag her up, “hows the arm?” “I'm taking off the bandage today” she takes a deep breath in, “yours?” “Been good since the second day,” I smirk, “go on, we're done for the day”. “Thanks” she smiles a little and leaves.I pack my things up also trying to catch my breath, in as much as I was training her I was also sharpening my skills to be faster and quicker…I can't be snuck up on again. I walk briskly to my hou

JUSTIN: “He wasn't lying, he did work for your father”I push the file to Isabella.She goes through it, anger on her face, “how's..how's this possible? I was there, since the beginning, how didn't I know he worked for my father” she scoffs in disbelief. “Well maybe he wasn't relevant,” I point to the file,”investigation shows he was more or less like an errand boy, like I said irrelevant”She sighs and closes the file, “God” she says softly, quietly. “You need to breathe Isabella, you're stressing” “It's my family's business Warren I'm allowed to stress over it, what the fuck is wrong with you?” “I'm just saying, what can Montez really do huh? He doesn't have any seat of power whatsoever in this business, I have also done my research” “Congratulations” she scoffs, “he has worked with my father, he knows things, secrets, things that if they leaked it'll ruin my image..hell this whole organization's image and you want me to..to calm down? God Warren” she facepalms. Her hands were

JUSTIN: “How do you know Carlos Montez? You better not lie to me Warren” she crosses her arms and her stance becomes tense. “I don't..told you a friend does” “And this friend is?” anger in her tone and her pupils already dilated. “What exactly do you want with Montez anyways?”She scoffs, “I ask the questions here. Get your friend here tomorrow, we need to talk” she leaves and slams my door.************* Teal eyes, dark hair, sharp scent like flowers and mint, a figure of a woman passes me and her scent fills my nostrils. Her presence was evident behind me, her hands caressing my back softly, calmly. I couldn't see her face but her presence was thick, I could feel her very essence. “Who are you?” my voice echoes into the abyss but no response, she holds my hands softly but when I try to hold her back she vanishes, I couldn't feel her anymore. I turn to find her but nothing, I feel a stabbing pain in my chest, I look up and see a gun pointed at me, my ears ring from the gun shot.

JUSTIN: I could still see his pale eyes in my head, it was etched in my memory, woven so tightly..I'll never forget, the way his blood looked on my hands, how he held my shirt gasping for air, how I screamed for help and nothing…no one came. I stare blankly at the ceiling trying to force myself to sleep but my eyes wouldn't just close, I didn't blink, I didn't move, it was like I was watching my body be still and I couldn't do anything about it. I sigh and sit up, internally groaning, trying to put myself together, I look at the clock and it was just two in the morning, why was I always awake by odd hours? I stand up and go to my kitchen, just on the kitchen island laid the flash drive from Sanchez, I hadn't opened it, I wasn't planning on..or I was just afraid of what I might find. I pour myself a cup of coffee and stare at the flash drive again, curiosity getting the better of me I grab it and plug into my laptop. It opened up with dozens of encrypted files, I scan through and f

(SPECIAL POV) CARA:Briskly I walked into the shed, food tray in my hand, my hands trembling a little…curiosity eating my head out. When I saw Miguel dragging a bloodied body into the warehouse my heart stopped, I needed to know who it was even if Isa would end me. I get to the door, the two bodyguards staring at me sternly. “Brought food for..for him” I clear my throat, “Isa told me too”They looked at each then back to me, I gave a weak fake smile and they let me through without any questions…thank God. It was dark, the stench of blood was everywhere and it made me sick to my stomach. “He…hello..?” no one answered, blindly I find the light switch and turn it on, I see a weak body sitting limp on a chair, “hi…hi” I stutter.He groaned and looked up, his eyes weak and his voice thin,“and you are..?”He looked oddly familiar, “Caroline, Cara for short” I drop the food by his side, “I..I brought food”He scoffs, “Isa sent you?” “No..no, I just….I saw when they brought you in and y
