Laila's Part

GAVINLorenzo Adams is an enemy. What do you do to enemies apart from killing them? Make sure you're always a step ahead.Ever since he declared war against me, that's what I've been doing. I have a person on the inside and his job has been fabulous.Anytime he strikes, I strike back three times harder. It's the reason some of his businesses are crumbling down. Others are facing lawsuits because, well, Lorenzo is not exactly a saint.I have been looking into his dirty business, which he covers up with his legal ones. Once our investigation is done, he won't know what hit him.I wonder how charges of money laundering and illegal gambling would look on him.I'm about to call off the day, when I remember I set an appointment with Laila. She's been on the low for a while. I wonder what she's up to. Her calmness also reminds me of someone else. Janelle.It's been a month and there hasn't been any drama from her. That should be tro

She is my Peace

GAVINDemi's pupils widen in shock. “Are you serious?” “Dead serious.”Her hands fly to her hips. “Great. Now you too have gone crazy.”“I'm always crazy. For you though,” I wink, making her flush.“That's…that's …isn't that…” She stutters.I press a kiss on her lips to calm her down for a moment.She's silent for a while, looking into my eyes.“Why do you have to be so cute?” She asks.“You bring that out in me.”I know the calm will only last a few seconds.Sure enough, she resumes with her initial worry.“Gavin, kidnapping Laila is wrong.”“So is ruining you. Why do they get a free pass? Besides, I'm not going to hurt her. Just a few threats to make her give in,” I assure her, but it's not enough to calm her again. Maybe I should kiss her deeper this time.I do just that. This time, I pull her closer, pressing her body against mine. I want her to forget everything apart from my l

A Ruined Morning (1)

DEMIBaby girl. Christ, he's so sweet. The way he's soft with me makes me almost forget the situation at hand. That's my man. Always making sure I feel calm no matter how dire the situation is.But this is too dire. First he said he wanted to kidnap Laila and now he wants to kill Lorenzo. Next? What would he want to do to Janelle? She's the cause of all this drama.That family. The Adams. They really have a vendetta against this couple.I take Gavin's hand. This time, I'm the one trying to calm him down. This issue about Lorenzo has gotten him so furious.I massage his cheek. “No one is killing anyone.”“But anyone who threatens my woman is dead,” he counters.“Babe. It was only a threat. He didn't hurt me. He didn't even get close to me. I don't even know what he smells like.”And this sounds like defending Lorenzo, but I swear I'm not. If Gavin acts out of anger, it won't be good for any of us.“What did he wan

A Ruined Morning (2)

DEMIMy scornful ex-boyfriend. I hate him. He's tried a million times to make my life a living hell. What's this that could be so urgent?First Lorenzo, then Laila, and now Ernest?I can't help but wonder whether these are signs of something big. Janelle's big plan.Could Ernest be part of it, too? He's dating Laila, so I shouldn't be shocked.“Demi,” my mother's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. Oh my God. I had totally zoned out. These people are really messing with my brain.“Let me talk to him,” I tell my mother, as Ernest makes himself comfortable.Mother arches a brow. “Are you sure?”“Yeah. He can't hurt me…well, physically.”“Hey, sweetheart, granny wants to take you for a walk,” I tell Aiden.“But I want to stay here with you,” he shrugs.Oh, he's just so sweet, and adorable. I would love to spend the whole day with him too, but I need to deal with this fucker first.“Let's make a

Where is he?

DEMIErnest doesn't try anything stupid again. He leaves, and I heave a long sigh, as I take a seat. I'm still in shock. I have so many questions. Was this man really being serious? No, it can't be. There must be a game he's playing.When mother walks back to my office, she has the same questions as me. The tension in my face must be evident because she points it out every single time.“I just can't shake this feeling, Mother,” I tell her. “I think it's almost time. These people are playing with me.”“A man can't just come out of nowhere and claim to want you back,” Mother supplements. “Do you believe he and Laila are really over?”I shake my head. “It's hard to believe anything these days.”“What if it was a test?” She asks.“Or a set up?” I squint.“What if this is what they want? For you to lose your mind?”“I need to tell Gavin,” I say, picking up my phone.“You do that. I'll go check on Aiden.”

Famous Girl

DEMI“Gavin has been arrested.”Arrested!I go silent. Every word I've ever known disappears. How can my mind process this? My lips remain parted. My world goes silent.“Demi, are you there?” It takes a while before I come back to my senses.“What do you mean arrested? When? How? Why?” The questions flow off my mouth as worry starts to kick in.“Assault. You haven't seen the video trending online?” asks Leon. I haven't, because I was so focused on calling Gavin and thinking about the worse case scenarios.“What video? And assault? Whom did he assault?”“Lorenzo Adams.”Jesus Christ. My palm flies to my mouth. My body still hasn't calmed down. Lorenzo? He said he wasn't going to kill anyone, but he promised not to go easy. Or maybe something else happened today?What was he thinking?I draw in a breath to let it all sink. “What happened?” Mother, who has been impatiently

Dead Man

GAVINOne day earlier…(Before the arrest)I have a meeting with Jack. My spy. He's been doing a great job and I've been fattening his accounts.This morning, he called, claiming to have big news for me. Actually he claimed it was life changing news. “This could end it all,” he'd said. I had planned on paying Lorenzo a visit, but that can wait. Jack and I meet at a secure place in one of my safe houses. I ensure my security details are on standby, in case this is a set up. There's no such thing as being too careful in this game. Especially where Lorenzo Adams is involved.Jack and I settle in the living room. I offer him a glass of scotch while we talk business. I take the seat opposite him and drain my glass before I ask. “So, what's this life-changing info you have for me?”He takes in a long breath, sips his glass and then places it on the table. “Lorenzo is in bed with the Russians.”I cock a brow. “Is

A Night in the Cell

GAVINA night in a cell. Charges? Assault. If time were reversed, I would do it all over again. How dare he speak that way about my woman. I feel bad because I was too lenient on him.He deserved much more than the punches.But well, here I am, at a complete disadvantage. Lorenzo has probably bribed everyone in this precinct. I'm not getting any justice tonight. All I can do is wait till tomorrow for my people to come for me. Including Demi. She's probably worried sick about me. Maybe she told Fabianna too. And Miriam. And now I can’t imagine how the women are going crazy.I've been off for the whole day, dealing with this Lorenzo issue. I didn't want Demi involved because I didn't want to worry her. And how exactly did that turn out?Although, I'm sure the news about my arrest has already spread. That doesn't make anything better. My loved ones would know about my whereabouts, but they'd still be super worried. If only I could

Kind Janelle

GAVINBecause of Janelle's face when she approached, I asked myself, “Who died?”At that moment, it didn't matter. All I wanted was to see Demi.And now…Demi was involved in an accident. My brain goes blank. My world stops as my heart makes a hard beat. My pupils widen. My lips part but now words come off…No.“Her car was hit by a truck.” The terrible news continues to flow. I suddenly can't breathe, because it seems like there's more bad news coming.“Where's she…is she…” the words barely leave my throat. Something heavy, together with my heart drops to my stomach at the thought of the other shoe that might drop.“She's in a critical condition. That's all I know,” Janelle proceeds. Critical condition isn't anything good, but it's better than….than the worst scenarios my head had cooked. I have never been this scared. I regain my breath after a few seconds. My heart coming back to my chest.“Which hospital?” I ask,

Father and Daughter

GAVIN I hold Fabianna's hand to stop her from going after Janelle. My sister is a crazy one. She turns to me with a glower. “Are you defending her?”“I'm not defending her, Fabianna.”“Good, because I don't want to have to remind you who Janelle Adams is. This was all her plan. She sent threats to Dem,i and now this accident? This was all her. That truck was no accident. You sent it.” She points a finger at Janelle“I had nothing to do with that. I can be everything but I'm not a killer,” Janelle defends.“That's so easy to believe,” Fabianna crosses her arms. “How did you even know Demi was going to use that route?”“You're not making any sense. You're just stressed,” says Janelle.I massage my temples. And let out a sigh.“You don't know anything about my feelings…” Fabianna proceeds. “Okay, okay,” I hold her shoulders. “Now is not the time for this argument. Let me talk to her, ” I coax.She accepts but
