ASH THUNDER SAY WHAT?
Chapter 9"Hey, slow down, kitten, what's the rush?" He turns me round to meet his gaze.Kitten? Is this man bipolar?He see's the confusion in my eyes and that damn smirk appears on his lips once again."I didn't want to call you that in the presence of your boss. Respect and all that jazz."I nod, not understanding what he means, and continue to walk, but this man wants to chat while all I want to do is give him the damn price list and stay far away from him."So. . . did you see your sister?" His question sounds innocent enough. There's no mockery to it, unlike the last time we met.I don't stop walking, I only reply. "Yes, she came home that same night.""That's good."Anger wells up inside me and I turn round, almost running smack into him. "That's good?" I stare at him as if he just sprouted a second head. "There's nothing good about my sister getting missing and popping up whenever she likes."His b
ASH THUNDER TEMPTING FATE
Chapter 10Anger surges through me, hot and fast. I'm back to holding the table. If not, I might lunge at him, claw his eyes out. That would probably get me sacked though, and a harassment lawsuit as well. Instead, I try to be dignified about it. "How-""Dare me?" That what you were going to say,?" The smirk has returned on his face as he backs away from me. "I dare because I can."This cannot be happening to me right now. "I'm not for-""Sale?" He lifts a brow as he comes close to me once more. "Come, now, kitten, everyone's got a price, and that includes you. Name yours. Any amount, and it's yours." He shrugs. I'm trying. I'm really trying to keep my anger at bay but it doesn't seem to be working. Curse words dance on the tip of my tongue, waiting to be unleashed, words I've heard Clarissa use many times as well as from passerby's. "You're insane." I finally choke out."He shakes his head, that damn smirk si
ASH THUNDER LOOKING FOR WAYS
Chapter 11"The Asian drug syndicate?"I cock my head as I look up from the list in my hand."The Chinese drug syndicate precisely." Lobos says.He has a list in his hand, one that's similar to the one in mine, as well as the rest of the other six."Ash, I think we've already crossed off the rest. You burnt the bridge with the Mexican drug lord some years ago." Night eyes says with a grimace."Yeah!" Koldis echoes. "And we all know the Canmora - the Italian drug syndicate- is a no-go, especially after leaving Don Cleto's daughter at the alter."I grimace, remembering the past. I was a rebellious kid, well into my twenties. Actually, they were the most rebellious times of my life. I force myself to focus on what Moro is saying."Oh, yeah, and let's not also forget Europe, Argentina, Australia. . . man, Argentina, you painted that town white, and then bathed it in red." Moro shakes his head as a faraway look enters
ASH THUNDER THE ASIAN SYNDICATE
Chapter 12They all turn wide eyes to me, including Rip, so I shrug, affecting an air of indifference. "What? It wasn't my fault she was easy.""You savage mother fucker!" It happens within the blink of an eye. Rip vaults up and tries to knock me out, but I throw the contents of my glass in his face. As he yelps, I punch him in the gut and he doubles up. I hold onto him and he mumbles in a pain-filled voice only I can hear. "You really are a motherfucker.""And you're playing along." I whisper back as I pat his back. Out aloud, I say. "Now you be a good boy and remember no pussy is worth coming in between two men."I pat his shoulder once more and watch as he hobbles off, mumbling obscenities."Well, damn, I missed out on all that fun." Capo says. He's the only one who I never had history with. I hired him a few years back but he's proved his loyalty to me time and time again.I shrug and pour some more g
ASH THUNDER RUNNING AWAY
Chapter 13It's been two weeks and three days since I made a promise.The promise.That wretched promise.The promise that would see me sell my body to Ash Thunder so he could do business with Harry's cargo. Do business he had. Not one day has passed that hasn't seen him sending goods. Heavy goods that put every other goods that have ever passed through Harry's cargo to shame.So he was true to his word. He has sealed his own part of the bargain. The bargain I created in the first place. Unfortunately, I'm having cold feet. Try as much as I need to, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I would need to sleep with a man I don't have feelings for. A man who's not my boyfriend. Not just that, I can't stand Ash Thunder specifically. He's so cocky, so annoying, so rude and so. . . hot.Yes, he's definitely hot. Only a fool would say otherwise. It's in that devil may care smile of his. It's also in the way
ASH THUNDER CAUGHT
Chapter 14Raven.A real high class bar and restaurant. They also have a live band that plays classical music every Friday. I know this because it was recently on entertainment news on TV. The downside is that it takes ages to get a table here, not unless you know someone that knows someone that knows-"Come on, Alicia, let's go." Leonard's voice drags me away from my thoughts.I look up just in time to see Clarissa and Tommy disappearing inside the building. She's definitely going to get an earful from me later, leaving me in the hands of a total stranger. I huff as I come out from the car and watch as Leonard hands the keys to the valet.It should have taken us almost thirty minutes, or we should have even been turned back. I certainly expected it. What I don't expect is for us to be immediately ushered to a table, smack in the middle of the already-filled restaurant. This guy called Leonard, definitely
ASH THUNDER CORNERED
Chapter 15I literally see red as I stare at the report before me.Tanya is Alicia's sister?The same girl Alicia came to Stardust to look for. The same girl that's working for me, and the very same kid who's now a drug mule. She's currently working with the other girls on the floor of Stardust, holding a drug cocktail tray for anyone who wants to buy some. Worst of it is she's wearing a skin tight dress leaving nothing to the imagination.I look back up at Moro who can't even look me in the face."What the fuck is this?" I cock my head and continue staring at him, expecting him to say something. Instead, he stays mum and stares keenly at something on the floor. Looks like whatever it is there has his undivided interest.How the fuck am I going to stop Tanya from being groped by those men?Yes, I had told the guys to stay on the look out for her incase. . . alright, when any man gets handsy, because they alw
ASH THUNDER DATE NIGHT
Chapter 16I watch closely as Tanya throws on some clothes. There's a difference in her movement today, a certain bounce in her steps that wasn't there yesterday. She seems excited for some reason she won't let on. She came in late yesterday night, reeking of alcohol and wearing the skimpiest dress I had ever seen. I was too clouded with sleep to string coherent words together but I'm definitely going to address it now."Tanya!" I wait for her to acknowledge her name but she doesn't break in her movement. If anything, they become faster. She combs her shoulder length hair and packs it up in a ponytail.We are so different in every way imaginable. Where her hair is blonde, mine is pitch black. She's slim with a small stature, while I'm tall and hippy. I took after mother there physically, while she practically took dad's physical attributes. She's reckless and spontaneous but I'm careful and over think everyt
