AshantiI run outside just as the gunshots get louder, it's complete chaos out here.I spot Marcus walking with his guns blazing and taking men down left and right. I can't help but grin. He's a beast.I would like to join in, but I've got a man to target and if anyone steps in my way, they won't live to tell the story.“Duck” Yelled Roman, I just managed to bend before the bullet breeze over my head, I whipped my head up to see a bulky man, I ducked back and looked around for an exit route.I don't want Lucas leaving this building, Roman pulls the trigger and there's a thud on the other side, I nod at him and stand to run while running left and right, helping whoever I can.On my left, I see Angel fighting a man twice her size with bare hands, why men underestimate this woman, I'll never know. I whip out my knife and shoot at the back of the man's knee, he hollers just as Angel somersaults and lands on his neck. She wrap her legs tight around him and winked at me just as she breaks hi
AshantiHe runs at me with full force and I feel the impact of his blow in my belly. I tried to block another, but he was relentless, and I can barely keep up with him.“You think you have what it takes to beat me?” He snarls just as he dodges one of my blows “I thought you everything you know today” He punches me and I feel my face whip to the side “And you think you can defeat me?”I feel my eyes reddened with rage, I've never fought him angry before, and from the crazed look in his eyes, he has never fought angry before. I push him and watch as he takes a few steps away from me. I widened my stance and tried to calm my heart, if I'm going to beat him, I will be the calmest I can be.“You may have taught me how to fight, but you didn't teach me to kill.” I snarl, “And I will let you know how it felt when I took my first kill”He snarls, “Come and get me then. You're a weakling and you're pathetic. I should've killed you long ago”I know what he's doing, antagonizing me to anger, push
“Okay. We're waiting for you” I smiled and goes to turn around when I heard a gun sound, I felt the impact before a body falls over me and the smell of blood filled the air.I screamed as I realized the body belongs to Mason, I pushed him to the ground and hover over him.“What's going on?! What the hell happened?!” Caleb screams at the end of the line “What's happening Ashanti?!”“Breathe Mason!” I watch as he struggles to breathe, his eyes are on me, “Fucking fight Mason, you're okay to be okay!”He smiles, although it's a grimace, “I never thought the day would come that I'll see you crying for me” He chokes out, and that made my tears fall harder.“Stop talking please!” I sob, “You're okay to be okay! You're going to be okay! You will be okay” I repeated more to myself than to him “You're going to be okay!”Blood is gushing out of his shirt, I just know he was hit in the chest. I apply pressure on the wound, “Help!” I scream, Angel and Roman run over us, "Help us! Caleb sends help!
AshantiIt's been a year since everything, and I've been traveling around. Trying to know more about myself, and I'm pleased to say that I like different colors other than Black.Yellow for example. It's just so beautiful, and I like how it glows in the summer sun. Mane, I am like a teenager in a candy store when I learn something new about myself.I like to read. I like novels and books, and I even took an online class to have a diploma. I didn't know that could happen, but I found this school that was offering, and I went for it.I'm a diploma holder! Hurray.Although I've been having fun learning and developing, I've missed the people I love.Yes, Love.I've finally understood those words, and although I can't say, I don't think about my past like before, but I am proud to say that I'm no longer bitter and carried hate in my heart.Everything happens for a reason, and it's okay to not be okay.I'm currently sitting on the beach, watching the waves and just looking at the people lau

If you enjoyed this book, please consider commenting, voting, and leaving a review. I would truly appreciate it! Enjoy!------------AshantiFear.Intense fear.My hands are shaking, and my breath is coming in sharp pants as I struggle to run. My lungs are begging for air, but now doesn't seem like the time to stop. I can't die. I won't die. Not now. Not until he's dead. Not until I see him struggling to breathe a word, not until his blood decorates wherever I find him. This shouldn't be the thought of a 10-year-old, but that's mine.The thudding of heavy footsteps following me makes it even worse to think that these men want me dead. Not them, though. The man they work for Roman Domino. The man that I'm going to kill The man whose name I'll forever remember, even when I'm six feet underRunning up
Sweat.I'm covered in it. It's been 15 years since that fateful day. But just like every other night, the day haunts me. Plague my dreams. The screams of my parents. Their eyes that were so full of life turned so …cold.It's been exactly 5475 days since I became Ashanti. 8 years ago, I became the bridge between the Mafia and the human world. I know it sounds corny, but I am. Even I can't comprehend how a fragile 10-year-old girl turned into someone who is feared by most.The mere name Ashanti sends shivers in the back of men. It's a very long story of how that happened. One I'm not ready to jump into, but a single nightmare I'm back to that girl. Every night I'm not 25 but 10.Throwing the duvet off me, I check the time, and it's 2:43 am. I'm not going to get some sleep anyway. I might as well get some work done.Taking my pack of cigarettes, I walked to the balcony of my apartment on the last floor. There's a queen size bed covered with black sheets and four pillows of the same col
The beep of the elevator alerted me of my arrival. The door swung open, and two bulky men stood guard at the entrance. The first guy walked up ahead of me and blocked my path. Not today. I can't stand these fuckers. Always trying to intimidate me.“He's busy presently” Joe or John or whatever the hell his name says, standing taller and puffing his chest out.See this one, I can take it out easily, his body is big, but his reflexes are slow. He moves his left foot first all the time. Ah, the things I noticed. “That's not my problem love, I'm not here for your crap John” I take a step further until we're toe to toe” I'm seeing him now. Get out of my way. Or I will go through you.” I grit out, folding my knuckles so tight I'm sure they're white… The fucker grinned like he knows how much I hate his guts or that I was going to say that. “It's Jax. There's no need for violence” His sick smile is still plastered to his face. I want to knock that shit out, “and I was fucking with you” He ret

I whip out my knife and shoot at the back of the man's knee, he hollers just as Angel somersaults and lands on his neck. She wrap her legs tight around him and winked at me just as she breaks hi
AshantiMy eyes widened in horror as his eyes were fixed on me with humor.I shake my head because I must be losing my fucking mind. There's no way I'm seeing Lucas standing before me.“You?” I whisper, my eyes widening even more, if that's even possible. “You're behind all this? Lucas?”He smirks “The one and only” My heart drops to the bottom of my boots “Tell me Bella, how does it feel knowing you kept running to me, explaining while I was behind it all along?”My vision becomes blurred, and it takes me a while to know that I'm crying. This is the man I thought was my father, the one who stood up for me and supported me, and it turns out “Ah, poor baby. Are you crying?” He taunts, “You can do better than that. I didn't teach you to be a weakling"“So everything, was for sure? Just to know what I was doing and when I explain my story to you, you pretend and when I'm gone, you throw a kick-ass party?”He smirks, “Err I wouldn't say a party but something along that time”Now everything
AshantiMason looks at me and smiles, “You don't mean that, okay? When all this is over, I'll show you how much I love you”“You don't he's going to let me walk out of here alive? Or You? You just signed our death certificate, well, yours because even if he doesn't kill you, I'll make sure to do it myself”He scoffs, “He's not going to harm you, and we will be together. You'll see”My Chest is burning with anger, I redirect my gaze to meet the old ones of Lucien, he smirks when our eyes lock. I glared at him, and he smiles “You're feisty Ashanti, imagine what I thought when I heard you were working with Roman, we've been great. We've done so much together”I scoff, “We were never going to work, you don't trust me as far as you can throw me, same with me. I don't trust you, I never did, and I was right to do so”He smirks, “What I'm curious to know is how you were able Roman was able to convince you to join him. How was that possible?” He turns his eyes to Roman and grins when he looks
AshantiWe walk into the building, on alert. Out of my parallel vision, I see them checking out the building as I am. Just why did Lucien choose this building?“Are you sure we're in the right place?” Marcus asks, falling into role play.“Yes we are” I answer loudly “Up ahead, they're waiting for us”“I just don't understand why we had to meet out this far. We could've used anywhere close to the city”.“Shut the fuck up because we're here already” I hiss out. The building is old, and small paints are falling from it, the ground looks unkept and there's the sound as our feet hit the pavement. We round the corner and right there, In front of us, are Four men, with Lucien in the middle. Looks like everyone was ready for battle because they're wearing black, similar to what we are wearing. The two men standing behind Lucien are tall, bulky, and lean. They're wearing black slacks and with two different colors of shirts.My eyes zero in on Lucien, he's wearing a blue dress shirt and black
Ashanti“I just received the location from Lucien” The guys looked at me, “Where is it?”“About three hours' drive from here. It's further out of the city” I answer Marcus as he watches me closely.Caleb is currently at the safe house with Lee, while Angel and the rest of them are at the warehouse since yesterday.“He sure has this plan, doesn't he?”“He does, are you guys ready?” A silly question to ask, since we've been ready about eight this morning.We took a bath, had breakfast, and been waiting for his message. Strangely, Roman has been looking at me differently since last night, I don't want to think about what it is, but I'm intrigued.“Can we at least talk before we go?” Roman asks as he walks up to stand before me.I peer over his shoulders to find Marcus looking at us, his eyes meet mine before he looks away.“Sure” I nod as I turn to head to my bedroom, his quiet but sure footsteps follow me.He walks into the room after me, the thudding of the door closing and the lock be
