I roll my eyes, "Don't bruise my face."I square up to him."No promises."I block his first hit, but then he lands one on my shoulder. It hurts more than usual. I only land one hit before he has me on my ass with three quick punches."Get up."I groan, "You already beat me!""Best of three."He holds out his hand and quickly helps me up.When we start the second round, I fake him out with a couple punches and land a kick to his waist like Nathaniel taught me. He's a little surprised."You've been training, haven't you?"I nod.He once again surprises me by kicking my shoulder. I fall back into the ropes. I didn't even think he could get his leg that high, and I think it might go higher.When I recover, he once again does a bunch of quick jabs and trips me up. He's already won, yet he still wants to do one more. I don't appreciate this fucked up pity.This time I focus on defense blocking all of the throws. I can't put a pin on his style of fighting.It's fast like martial arts, but i

That smile will forever make me weak.We finally get to the warehouse. I need to check up on everything that happened this past week while I was gone.Xavier comes to greet me out front. He runs the warehouse when we aren't around."My man!" He says, holding out his hand."What's good Xavier." I say as I pull him in for a one-armed hug.We start to walk into the warehouse."Not much but what about you Liam?!"He emphasized that weirdly."What?" I ask."You and the Serbian bitch. I know I didn't imagine that yesterday."That shouldn't have made me as mad as it did."Don't call her a bitch." I order him."Sorry... but y'all's tension couldn't even be cut with a machete.""Don't know what you're talking about."He smirk, "So you're saying you didn't drag her home to hit?"I wish I had."No. We are friends. Professional friends.""Alright tough guy!" He says patting my shoulder, "I told Yazmin to fill you in. I got shit to take care of."Why haven't I fired Yazmin yet."Can anyone do it b

"Are you guys okay?" Kilian asks."For the most part yeah. That was a gang that does kidnappings and hits. We almost hired them once.""So who would hire them to hit us..." Kilian thinks aloud."No clue. We have an alive guy we are gonna get to talk.""Alright I'll leave you to that then. We are gonna look for this bitch.""Cya." Liam says as he hangs up his phone.I see Leon exit the elevator."What the fuck.." He echos across the garage."Bruno, Leon , get this guy in the back of their van. Look around for any information in it too."They both walk over to the unconscious dude."Come here Nara. I'll explain."Him, Nathaniel , and I walk over to the black SUV parked a couple cars away. He opens the door for me, and I hesitantly get in.Nathaniel sits in the passenger seat. He gets a thing of wet wipes out of the glove box and hands one to Liam, who is in the back with me."Why are we in here?" I ask."Cause we need you to feel secure." Liam says.They both look at each other before t

"I can guess you have never been to Italy.Right?" Liam smiles.I nod, "I've only ever been to Spain one summer."He chuckles. Once he approaches a red light and looks over to me."One day we will travel the world Nara."He pauses, looking into my eyes. He catches the light become green and turns his attention back to driving.I'm completely motionless. I can't feel myself anymore. All I can hear is my heart. I leave my fantasy world a few seconds later and return my eyes to the road. Then glance at Nathaniel in the right mirror.Even he is smiling.We arrived at the apartment as it got dark. Bruno and Leon had ordered Chinese for all of us.They even remembered to get me HoneyChicken this time. We eat take out a lot in the living room together. They have always done this during soccer season, but hell, I like watching too. I played forward middle school.Today there is no soccer game, so they had started a movie. I sit criss-crossed between Liam and Leon on their white couch. Liam i

Liam's POV The drive to the airport was long because we had to keep our jet outside of the city. If it were too close my father could have possibly ran into us. It's a very sunny day today though, so all of the snow is melting on the streets. We take off at noon, but we will land right after midnight in Italy.I usually need drinks to get me through a long plane ride, but I'm supposed to drive when we get to Italy. I don't know how I'm going to get through this.As we load onto the jet, I have to convince the pilot not to tell my father. After about five minutes of money and promises, he agrees.The jet doesn't feel like a commercial flight at all. The seats are spread out, we have nice leather couches, and there's a bed in the back room.I sit down in a seat to prepare for lift off. Nara is in front of me next to Nathaniel . She's in a thin shirt and a pair of sweats. She's so cute when she is lazy.I have my bag to the side of me, and all of the other luggage was put under the pla
