Joe Bandit P.O.VI felt like someone punched me in the gut and I couldn’t breathe. When Gio told me, what happened to John I almost joined him in destroying the house. That didn’t happen, only because Chasity heard Gio throwing things and came running downstairs. When I told her that John died, she threw her arms around me and hugged me tight as she cried her eyes out. My eyes flooded with tears, and I tried to keep it at bay but it was useless.If John saw me crying right now, he’d tell me, “Only girls cry Joe.” Then I’d push him and say “You’ve cried before too! So that makes you a girl!” We’d laugh and head to the theater room to watch a movie. It pained me to know that we would never get to do that again.When the exchange for my mother had been made after my dad signed the documents that would give James complete control of my father’s company, shots were fired. Andr

Joe Bandit P.O.V“You want to know what’s so funny?” I laughed out loud at the sudden thought.Gio and Chasity looked at me. “What?” they asked in unison.I shook my head, “Earlier I could have sworn I saw Payton, as we were coming down the elevator.”Gio’s fork dropped from his hand and onto his plate in shock. “You saw Payton? Here?” He rushed out, looking around in alert.The smile that was on my face fell.“Well, I think I saw her.” I said starting to feel uneasy. “I could be wrong. Why? Is that not a good thing?”Gio stood up and shook his head.“The call that I just had, was from one of our men. He said that he found videos of Payton meeting James Cotton last week and was at your house today while you and your parents were out. She was there when your mother was abducted. Your mother didn’t se

Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at Chasity’s eyes and couldn’t believe how lucky I got to have this girl in my life. Our situation is weird, considering the fact that her dad tried to kill my parents, but I’m still grateful that one of the results is something that led Chasity into my life.Not wanting to say this, but needing to come clean I tell her my secret, “Chasity, I knew that your dad was alive.”Her eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”She didn’t pull away from me, so this was a good sign.“My father advised against it. We argued so many times, because I wanted to tell you and he didn’t feel like it was the time to do it.”She looked down, “I heard you guys arguing one time in the office. The door wasn’t fully shut. You were screaming at each other and one of the things you said is something along the lines of, a girl having the right t

Joe Bandit P.O.VThe whole car ride to the safe house, was spent in total silence. No one spoke and no one needed to. I didn’t know that my dad had a safe house. Did my mom know about it? If she did, why didn’t she tell me? It was now an hour and we still weren’t there. We were heading to the mountains and the deeper we went I saw less and less proof of civilization.An hour later, Gio finally spoke up, “We’re here.”I watched as he pulled into a lane that led to a small shack.“You’ve got to be kidding me Gio,” I couldn’t help but say. “I don’t mean to sound spoiled but my father is a rich man. I assumed that he would have bought a bigger safe house.”Gio got out of the car and smirked at me. “Your father is a very rich man indeed.”I raised my brow at the way he spoke. As if he knew something I didn’t.Gio went to Annie to help her walk,

Joe Bandit P.O.VI watched as the man my father brutally beaten groaned from the immense pain he was feeling. His face all bloodied up and bruised, he looked almost unrecognizable. Then again, I’m sure any man would if they were beaten the way Andrew was.“So, what now dad?” I asked, as I watched him pace back and forth.He looked at John instead of me, “I want all the men to be at Owls Tower at eleven. We are meeting James at midnight. He wants me to sign over the rights to my company.”“Yes sir,” nodded John.This is so weird seeing my best friend acting this way. As Andrew was getting a beating from my father, John confessed that my dad hired him as my body guard. John’s family are a part of a secret organization that protects very wealthy men. It doesn’t matter if the person is good or bad. If the money pays well, then the bodyguard the client receives will be even better.

Matthew P.O.V(Seven years later) “Daddy do you think this looks pretty? asked Anastasia.I looked up from the paper on my desk in front up me and turned my attention towards my five-year-old daughter. She looked just liked her mother, with her long dark brown wavy hair and big dark brown eyes. She smiled and tilted her head, patiently waiting for my answer as she showed me the blue headband in her hand and the blue dress she was currently wearing.I put down my pen and stood up from my chair and walked around my desk, and towards my daughter. I bent down at eye level and smiled at her. She was a surprise that was fully welcomed the day, Ali and I realized that Ali was pregnant. My mother and Aunt were ecstatic when we told them Ali was pregnant.“Of course!” I said as I grabbed th

ALI’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” Matthew said to me as he handed me back the black tie. I sighed and raised my eyebrows “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”If I had never met Maria two days ago, I would have been really nervous; but after seeing her and seeing the kind of person she is; I felt sort of comfortable around her. I can’t say that I am fully comfortable, because I do not know her completely. In conclusion, I just hope that she really is okay with me and her son being together.Matthew laughed and replied “I was just kidding Ali.”My mouth formed into an ‘O’ and I nodded my head. I then grabbed the black tie and tied it around my eyes. This time

Matthew’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” I said to Ali as I handed her back the black tie.She sighed and raised her eyebrow “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”I laughed “I was just kidding Ali.”Her mouth formed into an ‘O’ and she nodded her head. Then grabbed the black tie and tied it around her eyes. Thankfully this time, she did not ask any questions and instead stayed quiet and patient. I scooted her beside me, interlacing my hands with hers. I saw her lips form a smile and I could not help but smile with her. Every time I put I a smile on her face, it puts a smile on mine.“We’re here sir,” said Will.We drove up to a big warehouse, that I recently bought, just for today

Matthew’s P.O.VAli picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”I was irritated with the interruption; I was close to getting my answer from her. I am eager to know what she is going to say. I feel like she is going to say yes, because she has told me she loves me, but then again; some small part of me worries that she will change her mind. Sometimes woman are fickle sometimes.Ali rolled her eyes and quickly shut her phone and pouted at me “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” she asked with a sly smile.You were about to tell me if you will be my girlfriend, I thought to myself.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. Gerald turned towards us and asked “Any sug

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.V“Tell me about this woman,” Matthew ordered. “She must be quite the lay if she brings Mikey Collins to his knees.”Something in me felt a tick when he spoke of her as if she was an easy woman. Cassie isn’t like that. If he wasn’t my best friend, I would have punched this man in the jaw and drag his face against the floor.“Talk about her like she’s an easy woman one more time and I will snap your neck.” I seethed.Unfazed by my threat, Matthew replied with a grin, “Well, well, well.” His interest peaked, “This is entertaining.” He leaned back to get comfortable in his chair. “I have never seen you act this hostile over a woman.” He ordered as if it was necessary, “I want to meet her.”I shut that idea downrealquick. Sticking my hand out in a halting motio

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VThroughout the whole drive, I tried to think of the many ways I could clear up the misunderstanding that Cassie has of me.“We’re here sir,” said Silas, pulling the car to a halt. He stepped out of the car and quickly opened the door for me.I get out of the car and saw Stella, who was Matthews P.A walking toward me. If he had someone already waiting for me, he must have known I was coming.That arrogant man.She approached me with those aquamarine eyes and naturally plump lips that were throwing a seductive smile. Her pixie-cut hair worked for her and highlighted her features.It was what drew men to her. Stella slept with any man that had her seeing dollar signs. I wasn’t an idiot. This woman was looking for a man who would pay for the luxurious life she was dreaming for. Matthew knew that too; which was why he kept her around, but not close enough for he

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VI’m still standing in my spot, after watching her walk away with hurt on her face. She was trying to hide it, but I could see it. The thing is, I don’t understand why she is feeling that way.Was it something I said?If it wasn’t for her friend, I would have figured out what made her feel that way. My time with Cassie was interrupted so many times. By my mother, nanna, Matthew, and now her friend.I groaned and drag my hand down on my face. Silas looked at me with an unpleased look. An expression, I doubt he realized was showing on his face.“Did you see that?” I asked with a disbelieving look. I shook my head, “One moment we were okay, the next moment, she looks at me like I broke destroyed her world.”Silas, look hesitant to reply.“What Silas?” I asked, feeling impatient.Silas cleared his throat, “I believe it was what y

CASSIE STONE P.O.VThis guy just won’t give up. I don’t know if he’s lying and I’m afraid of believing him. Once I give in, I’m a goner. I can’t remember a time when he did. He didn’t lie when he told me who he was. Then again, if I was a rich CEO like him, I wouldn’t lie either.“As far as I know, you haven’t,” I said looking up from the ground. “Yet,” I added.I looked around us and noticed the many eyes watching us. Students stopped and were watching us with both the extreme amount of interest. Jealously was shot my way, but those were by the women. If looks could kill, I would be dead.He leaned down towards me and with his index finger turned my head to him; drawing my attention back to him. If he took one more step towards me, his lips would be touching mine. “I know winning you over won’t be easy, but tell me what I can do to

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VMy hand gripped the phone in my hands. I took a peek at Cassie to see if she heard what Matthew asked. She wasn’t looking my way and was looking out her window instead. I wouldn’t be surprised if she heard, but I really hope she didn’t.Turning my head away from Cassie. “That is none of your business if I am or not,” I replied to the idiot on the phone. For someone that thinks of love as a bad word, I’m surprised he even said it.“Someone’s being defensive,” sang Matthew. My hands gripped the phone tighter. If I squeezed it any tighter, then it would break. I know I was, but obviously, I’m not going to admit that.“No, I’m not,” I lied.“That’s exactly what a person feeling defensive would say,” Matthew pointed out.I really wish I could jump through this phone and smash his fa

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VShe doesn’t say anything.“I’m growing on you,” I said knowingly. I know it’s true. I drop the teasing look on my face.Like a predator approaching its prey, I step closer to her, and she automatically takes a step away.“I’m going to ruin all men for you, Cassie.” I look at her with promise and a look that shows I’m being serious, “and that’s a fact.”I watch as her eyes widen, but she doesn’t say anything. She can see that I’m not playing around anymore. It doesn’t escape my attention that her breathing gets quicker. I watch as her eyes stray to my lips. She licks her own, and I groan with frustration. This woman is so beautiful and I’m trying to hold myself back from devouring her.“Don’t do that,” I growled.I’m holding on by a thread. “Don&rsquo

Archenemy \arch-en-e-my\ Noun. A principal enemy. ******* CELINE WESTWOOD POV. Althea and I first had a look of surprise on her face, “No. Freaking. Way.” My eyes widened when a sudden thought hit me. Is Lucian Althea's blind date? If I wasn’t irritated from hearing his name all day, I sure am now that I’m seeing him. “You have got to be kidding me,” I spoke out loud in disbelief. Althea and I watch him as he gets nearer. I took a glance at her, to see what her reaction would be. No doubt, matching mine. I’m proven wrong when I see a look of humor on her face. It confuses me, and I don’t understand why she isn’t worried at the thought that he might be her blind date. This guy is the worst candidate when it comes to being in a relationship. The only type of relationship he can be in is one that is no string attached. “Is he

Dropping the keys in his hands, making sure to thank him and giving him a tip. He smiles with a thankful look on his face. Leaving my car in their hands, I walk into Bonita. Bonita screamed the definition of expensive. From the bright light shining down from the teardrop crystal chandeliers down to the gold that framed the floor to ceiling windows, and white and gold dining room. Employees wearing crisp white uniforms with gold intricately stitched into it. Seeing two young women behind the hostess stand I began to walk t

I grabbed my hairdryer and curling iron in one of the side drawers of my vanity.I plug in my hairdryer and curling iron, then quickly start drying my hair. I thank God that my hair isn’t thick enough, to the point it would take forever for me to finish doing it.After deeming it dry enough, I begin to start working on my curls.

Spy \spī\Verb.

Throwing her arms around me and giving me a tight hug. “I’m super” she squeezed tightly, “sorry!”I laughed, “Yeah, yeah,” patting her back, “Now let go of me, before you s

Misfortune \mis-ˈfȯr-chən\ Noun. an event or conjunction of events that causes an unfortunate or distressing result. ******* CELINE WESTWOOD POV. I groaned in agony, at the misfortune that I had just allowed myself to be put into. Dropping my head onto my desk.

I pulled my head up and threw Althea a glare. “You tricked me,” I said in accusation. She put her hands up in defense, “I just want to say that it wasn’t my idea but I had no choice.” Giving her an unconvinced look, “What do you mean it wasn’t your choice to trick me into attending?” “Well- “she began to answer. Looking at her, “Did someone hold a gun to your head, and threatened you in order to make me go?” “No,” she pouted. Sh
