Chapter 51

A month later. . .Rhett The worst thing his parents could’ve done to his brother and Rhett was be rich.Money gave them time to wander the earth lazily in their massive yacht. It allowed for many indiscretions—partying three days straight with no sleep or food just the need to dance and sex till their hearts’ desired something else. We played hard and lived better than most of the planet’s population.And the women.Well the women were their sport. It was the only way we would judged our worth among us two, the only method of entertainment once the clubs and excitement of being adults on our own shifted into endless days of monotonous boredom.So with complete confidence and no worries, they had docked Miami.We shouldn’t have.At times Rhett sat in his empty apartment, drinking until he passed out and thinking about that day.Had there been any signs, something foreboding enough to signal our oncoming demise? Whatever it was, that summer was the last time he fully lived.Every day

Chapter 52

Mia Xavier is here.A blues song flowed in her ears. The male singer belted out sad lines about a broken heart.She yanked out his earphones and scanned the swimwear store. It was only her. The whole place must’ve emptied out the moment Mia put her back to the entrance. Now that she turned around, the fact that something was wrong hit her right in her chest. There’s no one here. Only Xavier would clear a packed spot to talk to her.My insides coiled into anxious, bulky knots that weighed her down with each step through vacant clothing racks. Hangers dangled back and forth as if someone had just been there and rushed away, disturbing everything in his or her trail.“Hello?” Part of her knew I was wasting her breath.No one replied.The place was deserted. The mother and two teenage daughters from earlier no longer battled by the dressing area. They’d been arguing about skimpy tops and if the girls were too young to wear them out in public. Mia checked her right. Gone were the perky

Chapter 53

Mia Mia had never met another man with his look. He could pretend to be most races, but she knew his background. Raised in Charleston. His mother was black. His father white. Both had died from drug overdoses. Which was why he had those hard edges around those haunting eyes. He’d raised himself on the streets and then became a billionaire by his late twenties. That wasn’t ambition. That was the raging force of the world boiling and bursting in one man. But Xavier wasn’t a man. He was a wild animal. A beast. He took. He savaged. He ripped things apart and sniffed for more meat and bones to gnaw on. He was dangerous. Terror radiated from those beautiful eyes as if they caged the devil himself and refused to let the motherfucker go. He was a man of games and twisted mind fucks. What are you doing now?She stepped back from him. “What do you want from me?”“Everything. You’ve always known this.”“I don’t want you. I don’t love you. In fact, I hate you.”“Tomato. Tomahto.”He closed

“Let me go.” Beating his arm, Mia tried to get out of his hold, but he wouldn’t release her. “Let me go, Xavier.”His grip was solid steel. Anger raged in his hazel gaze and reminded her of a volcano exploding. He turned her toward him and leaned her way. A growl dotted his next words. “You fucked one of them.”She blinked. “You’re not my man.”Chuckling, he looked around as if someone had told him a joke and he wanted to thank them. And then he brought that angry gaze back to her and trapped all Mia's attention. No words left his mouth. The smile fell away. Hurt replaced it. Pain pooled in his hazel eyes. “You fucked him.”It was not fair of him to do this to her. She wasn’t his girlfriend anymore. She no longer could play his sick and twisted games. Long ago, he might’ve been capable of love but no more. Life. The Universe. God or whatever had melted any semblance of humanity away from him. All those things should be guilty for hurting him but not her. Don’t you dare make me fee

Xavier They would have to hurry. Tick Tock.His limo moved through the streets with ease. Miami’s sun battered on the pavement with no time for release in sight. People could’ve cooked out here. Just cracked their eggs on the pavement, brought a spatula, and flipped the eggs over in a few seconds. It was so hot, the sun could boil a pot of water on the porch.Surely, someone had tried it this summer—set a large jar of water out on their front porch, dropped a tea bag, squeezed a little lemon, and poured in sugar. In this heat, the tea would be done in a few seconds.He could see why Mia had been in a swimwear store. This was beach weather for sure. He wasn’t a fan of the beach or Miami, but recent events had forced him down to this sweltering city.Mia was in danger. She had to come with him. How could he explain it to her?Angry, Mia sat on the other side of the limo. Two men flanked her. He’d been well acquainted with her temper. There’d be no way h’d sit in the limo alone with

Xavier “I don’t like the jeans and shirt.” he cleared his throat. “And before you yell, I didn’t vote for Trump. I just hate the shirt. It’s too crass.”She turned his way. “What the fuck are you doing?”“The dress is a gift. I chose red instead of. . .green. I figured you would like it. Chinese brides wear red for luck—”“Xavier!”“Yes?”“Why did you take me away from the store and—”“I’m keeping you safe.”“You’re the person that’s dangerous.” “Don’t worry. I’m not kidnapping you.”Anger blazed over her face. “You’ve already kidnapped me!”“Kind of, but not really. I’m leaving you alone in an hour and taking you back to your house. We just have to go Rhett’s first.”She held out her hands. “Why the hell are we going to see him? I don’t even talk to him anymore.”“Did you know that he lives across the street from you?”She paused. “He does.” he dug his hands in his pants, pulled out his new Rubik’s cube, and showed it to her. “This is called a Sudokube. See all of the numbers.”In

Chapter 57

Xavier “I have a therapist,” He said. “That’s what she said our problem was.”Mia returned to her window. “And did your therapist tell you that you had a borderline personality disorder?”“I’m not borderline. Those are the guys with patterns of unstable moods and behavior. I’m many things, but I always remain consistent. Those people always have intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety. Since I’m always winning, I hold no anger or depression.”“Perhaps, you have a narcissistic personality disorder.”“I’m too perfect for that.” “Clearly.” She crossed her arms and continued to watch the buildings and cars rush by the window. “I bet if you spend some quality time with your therapist, she’ll have a list of disorders that you qualify for.”“That’s not nice.” he dug both of his hands in his pants. The limo parked in front of her house. Everything is working out as planned. How long will it be this easy?He checked the time, opened the door, and held it for her. “Let’s go.”She

Chapter 58

Xavier “No.” Mia shook her head. “No. This is crazy. I don’t believe you. This. . .this is one of your games. That doesn’t even make sense.” Mia hugged herself more and continued to back away. “What are you talking about? Why would Rhett be dead?”He walked her way but made sure not to get too close. “I’m getting you out of here.” “No.”Xavier formed his fingers into fists and then released them. He hadn’t been used to her going against him in a long time. Everyone else listened and did what they were supposed to do. With Mia, he either had to shut the fuck up or be the aggressor. He calmed himself.“My men and I will escort you over to your house to get a couple of things.”“I’m not going anywhere with you, Xavier.”“You don’t have to stay with me, but you will stay in a hotel of my choosing this evening. Right now, I’m calling the cops. I’m not leaving you alone until we know what happened to Rhett.”She looked at the door. Her words came out hoarse. “Rhett is not dead. None of t

Chapter 59

JaxThe next dayJax turned to his new security guard, a black guy named Chills. He wore his usual—black hat, dark pants, and leather jacket. No shirt. It was like he wanted to be a conductor to the sun or some moving solar panel of energy that sucked up the heat. In some ways, the outfit symbolized how bad he was. Who else but a crazy person would wear a leather jacket on a Miami summer day?What was he thinking when he hired him?Mia lived in a rough neighborhood full of diversity. Mostly artsy types and hippies. Most of all the ghetto surrounded it.Instead of using his typical guys, who stuck out in this urban jungle with their European accents and designer suits, he used a new guy that he hoped could fit in.Chills had beat out the applicants, but he’d failed to produce any results. Was it a mistake to use him? He could’ve called his old bodyguard Nyx to handle this. Initially, she looked like a slim Japanese with her sweet smile and tiny stature. But when the need for violenc

Chapter 60

Jax He looked around Mia’s bedroom. He’d been in here once before when she was out volunteering. These past months had kept her busy. Tons of police shootings and causes for her to march in the street and rally about. Although well into the 21st century, America had returned to the 1960s.People were back in the streets protesting about constitutional rights that he’d thought the American people had already decided on—civil liberties and reproductive rights, equality, and abuse by the police.With all the chaos of this country, Jax had only stayed here because of Mia. And that woman had made him love her even more. Every weekend, she stood on the corner with others, screaming and raising her signs. Constantly resisting corruption in society and making sure she fought for the unprotected. There’d been pictures taken by his men of her passing out blankets to homeless people. Another night, he spied her sitting at a candlelight vigil for victims of a shooting states away.Because she
