A crime lord

CRISTIAN All three of them were looking at me like I'd committed a felony. I hated the disgust and disbelief in their eyes. Chuck was looking at me like I was filth. Michael had this gigantic ball of disbelief dangling in his eyes.They weren't blasting me yet, but their eyes were doing so much damage already. I lost the will to argue and just slowly perched my butt on the table, awaiting my crucifixion.“Fuck, man. Seriously?” Michael asked, breaking the silence. “Are you really fucking that girl?”“She's young. She's Aaliyah's age. What the hell, man? Out of all the messy things you could do,” Chuck said, genuinely offended. Disgusted. I deserve it. I deserve everything. I know I'm such a disgusting man right now. I tried not to be. I tried not to get to this miserable point. But she won't let me forget her. She's everywhere I go. How the hell was I supposed to help myself?“So you're telling me we killed a couple of men and tampered with a very serious case for that girl? What di

I'm nothing like him

CRISTIAN “That's not important.” She shook her head, shuddering. “Just answer me.”“No, it is important.” I insisted, taking two steps forward. “You want to know why? Because it's not something any random person should know. It's not something you should have a clue about. So if you did, I want to know how.”“I'm not telling you anything!” She snapped. She was growing hysterical while I was still calm as hell. I hate it when she starts yelling and acting up in situations like this. It's beginning to feel like a defense mechanism. To keep me from asking more questions. To make me back down. To make me get off her case. To make me beg. Other times, I would back down. But not now. I need to know how she knows what she knows. It's important for my safety and my daughter's. “Just answer me,” she breathed out. “Are you really a Crime Lord?”“Yes. I was. Now your turn. How did you get a clue of it? I know I never ratted myself out to you in any kind of way.”“Unbelievable!” She gasped, p

Eat your coochie

63. CRISTIANIn a rushed, heated matter of seconds, we were on the bed. My dick was dripping menace and fighting to let loose. But I didn't want to rush the moment. It's been exactly months since I last had her. I wanted to make up for lost time. She was panting hungrily when I broke the kiss. She looked vulnerably wanton; it doubled my arousal. She was sprawled on my bed like a delicious snack, waiting to be feasted on. I backed off briefly, taking her in. Her round boobs were rising and falling to her heartbeat. Though she was still slightly covered with her dress. But my imagination had already taken the best of me. Goddamn, she's beautiful. She's gorgeous. She's…ethereal. The guys wouldn't ask why I'm head over heels over her if they saw this side of her. She's insanely sexy—my God. “I want you.” She said in the sexiest voice that got my dick harder. She stretched her hand for mine. But I didn't grab it. I mean, I want her too. More than she could understand. But first…“Ye

What have I done?

CRISTIAN I was torn between hanging up and taking the call. It's been days since we last saw and spoke. I owe her a lot of explanations for the chaos over the past few days. It wouldn't be nice to settle that over the phone. I need to see her. But I can't leave in the middle of the night. I've got Lacy here. I don't…CAN'T bring myself to leave her all alone. My heart felt like it got cut in two when the phone stopped ringing. My fingers were aching to call her right back. But she's going to want to know where I am. I don't want to lie to her. Then again, I wouldn't be able to explain all the chaos that's gone down these past few days without a few lies. Still, I need time to figure out my lies. I'll go see her first thing in the morning. But tonight, ensuring her safety is more important. I swiped through my contacts and dialed Chuck's number. He picked up on the first ring. “Hey. Uh, you guys left already?” I began, leaving the room and going to the balcony. I wouldn't want to

They're waiting

CRISTIAN I was already hitting the road before the morning sun came up. My driveway came into sight, and I drove in. The familiar ambiance of my home was soothing. This will always be my home. No matter what happens. But the other house feels like home too when Lacy is in it. Really fucked up to know that I don't even trust myself enough anymore. With everything happening with Lacy, I don't know what my priorities are anymore and how far and how drastic I could go because of my untamed feelings for her. I went inside and met a busy Nanny Jocey. She gleamed at the sight of me. “Oh, My! Welcome home, Sir Cristian!” She was almost leaping for joy. “Good to see you too, Nanny.” I smiled, glancing at the staircase. “And Lacy?”“Still sleeping, Sir. She was really sad last night. And every night you weren't home.”I swallowed a lump. “And Chuck? Did he drop by last night?”“Yes, Sir. But he left almost immediately. I think they argued.”“Argued?” I scoffed in disbelief. Chuck and Aal

Ugly turn

CRISTIAN “CRISTIAN,” Gina's angry voice was back on my case. She noticed the buzzing phone in my hand. “Is it so important? It can't wait?” It can wait. I've spent the last few days with her. A few hours away from her wouldn't hurt. And she has everything she needs in that house. She'll be fine. With that conviction, I shoved the phone into my pocket and walked into the room. Everyone was present. And by everyone I meant my team, top shareholders, and execitives. Davidson assembled every crucial person. Good job. I sat down, and the room went quiet. Gina began the meeting, detailing every single thing that happened that night and in the last few days I've been MIA. Apparently they haven't really done much. My orders were needed. So they've been stagnant without it. “What's the authorities saying about Gerald's case?” I asked. “They think he had a cardiac arrest. Apparently the news of some waitress drugging him was just empty rumors. It's been clarified.”I let out a pent breat
