“Dante killed Stacey.” Blakeley said.

She expected a reaction from Alex but got nothing, all he did was stare at her with a calm expression.

“You… you aren't saying anything.”

“What do you think I should say?” He asked.

“But I just told you your brother killed someone, aren't you... Did you know already?”

“Yes.” He replied and Blakeley frowned.

“And… and you didn't say anything to me about it?”

“I wanted you to remember on your own.”

“What the fuck? You let me feel guilty for something I didn't do. You knew the truth and you didn't say anything.” She said, sounding upset.

“Go get some rest, like I said earlier, we have a lot to do tonight.” He replied ignoring her rant and he walked out of the suite.

Blakeley sighed and walked to the bed, she took off her shoes and lay on it. Thinking about what Dante did to Stacey, she let out a sigh, her memories were still a little blurry and she couldn't recall what happened next after Dahte saw her.

She never knew Dante was so dangerous.

In a minute, they were on the ground floor, they walked out of the hotel and walked to the car. Blakeley got in at the back while Alex got in at the front. “What took you guys so long?” Cassie asked and Blakeley smiled with a shrug.“Was it a quickie?” Cassie asked as Scott ignited the car.“Cassie!” Blakeley called and she rolled her eyes.“What? Your husband isn't denying it. And you were all red as you got into the car.” She replied and Blakeley shook her head. Alex ignored the conversation as he paid attention to his phone. A thought came to Blakeley’s mind and she took a quick look at Cassie, she thought about how she would react if she found out her cousin killed Stacey.She seems to like Dante and is cool with him, she would be so h

    She froze as she recalled who it was, she pulled away and turned to see him. Although she was high, she could clearly recognise the person in her presence. “What the fuck?” She mumbled and started to walk away from him. He walked after her and tried to catch up with her. He finally caught up with her and pinned her to the wall.“Get the fuck off me.” She groaned. Next to them, there were a lot of people making out and they paid no attention to them.He looked closer at her and he looked surprised.“Shit. You are as high as fuck.” He said and she rolled her eyes.“At least I am not too high to know you are a fucking asshole and I don't want you around me.” She cursed and tried freeing herself but he held her tightly to the wall.“Easy there Blakeley.”“Get the fuck off me, Dylan.” She groaned.“No freaking way. I can't leave you alone like this. These horny bastards are going to take advantage of you.” He said and she scoffed.“Isn't that what you are trying to do?” “True. But it is

    Cassie stared at them and let out a nervous laugh, Alex raised his brow as he wondered where Blakeley was.“Where is Blakeley?” He asked.“She is not here and before you say anything or get mad. It was Blakeley’s idea. It was all her, the sneaking out and the club we went to, it was all her. Not my fault.” Cassie hurriedly said.“So where is she?” Scott asked and she laughed nervously again.“Funny story. I can't find her.” She replied and Scott sighed. Cassie sat on the bed in Scott’s suite and played with her fingers nervously, Scott was standing in her presence watching her while Alex was on a phone call.He finally got off the phone and walked to them.“Anything?”“No, none of them has seen her.” Alex replied and turned to Cassie. She bowed her head immediately avoiding the look on his face.“If they don't have any idea where she might be then it's a problem.” Scott said.“Was… was that the cops?” Cassie asked as she slowly looked up at them.“There are the men we have in Los Ang

    “I don't know what you are talking about.” Dylan replied.“Don't fuck with me. I know you were at Illusions last night and you were with me.” Alex said.“I am not telling you anything.” He replied and Alex suddenly hit him in the face, he took a few steps back and held his face groaning in pain. “Start talking.” Alex asked, moving closer to him.“Fuck. I don't know anything about it. While I was with her, some guy attacked me and knocked me out.” “Who was it?”“I don't know, man.” He replied as he massaged his jaw.“Russian?”“Chinese.” He replied. “One more thing.” Alex said and moved closer to him.“What again?” He asked and Alex punched his left eye, he groaned in pain and placed his hand on his left eye.“Fuck.” He cursed.“Now they rhyme. That is for touching my wife.” He said and walked out of the office.

    “Shall we keep chatting while we wait for your husband?” Chang asked and pulled the chair closer to Blakeley, he stopped a few steps from her and sat on it.“Okay. So tell me, did you really lie to everyone about where you really came from?” He asked and Blakeley knew if she didn't give him a response, she would get hit again.“I didn't lie. I just didn't tell the truth.” She replied and Chang laughed. “Oh my God, I love that answer. You must really be going through a lot to be hated by everyone in the whole city and out of it.”“Yeah.” She muttered in response.“That was a bold move though. Killing your rival, really nice move.” “I didn't kill her.” “Sure, if you say so. It doesn't matter, you are dying anyway.” He laughed and Blakeley sniffed. She didn't plan on dying at the hands of a Chinese gangster.After a few minutes of having random chats with Chang, he got interrupted by one of his guys.“What?” Chang snapped at him as he interrupted his conversation with Blakeley.

Blakeley sighed and turned to the cart. She wouldn't be able to eat well because of her injured mouth but she could try a little. She applied the ointment herself to the rest of the marks she got on her body. She took a few pills and she sighed. She waited a little bit for Alex to show up but he didn't, she started to eat after she got tired of waiting. She was done and Alex still didn't show up, she was really exhausted. She lay on the bed and in a few minutes, drifted to dreamland.**********HOURS LATERAlex stared at Blakeley as she slept peacefully on the bed, he had different thoughts going on in his head.His eyes moved to her wrists and he sigh

Why? Did they have a fight again? Did she leave him because of what happened?”“Alex left her.” Scott answered and Cassie shook her head as she felt so sad.“No, who am I supposed to bond with and do crazy stuff with?” She walked towards Alex angrily as he got closer to the elevator.

    “What do you mean? In a bad way or in a good way? You still want to have your revenge?” Bryan asked but he ignored their question. “Make yourselves comfortable and Bryar. I changed my mind, you are not going for the shoot.” He said and she gasped and frowned.“But… but there will be a lot of cute guys there.”“More reasons you shouldn't go.” Bryan said and she groaned.“Ugh! What the fuck is your problem? Why don't you just let me be with just one boy? You keep beating up every guy that asks me out, yet you have girlfriends. Will I end up dating you?” She asked and he rolled his eyes.“You are fucking dumb and gullible Bryar. Just sweet words get to you and you give everybody a chance in your life. Trust me, if you weren't my sister, I would have broken your heart a million times. Until you fucking get smart, I will keep doing that.” He said and tears welled up in Bryar’s eyes as she stared at him. “And you can cry all you want, I don't care.

Their company has been ranked as the best company eight times in a row for the past eight years.Alex’s phone suddenly rang and he glanced at the caller, he breathed out heavily and groaned.“Come on, not now.” He muttered.“The principal again?” Cassie asked and he nodded.“Third time this week.” She chuckled as he picked up the call.“Yes?” Alex answered tiredly.“Mr. Xanders.

    “You both can't solve things like this. Put the gun down, Alex.” Scott said.“She is pointing a gun at my father’s head. She should lower her gun.” He replied and Blakeley had a smile on. She was enjoying what was going on.The sirens got louder and Blakeley hummed alongside it.“Oh, she is sick in the head already.” Cassie muttered.“Blakeley, you will get arrested.” Austin said worriedly.“Oh, don't worry kid. I won't, I am not just ready to leave yet.”“Mum. You really don't have to do this. You can explain to the cops and you will get Grandpa arrested.
