This side of me

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 retorted calmly even though I know he didn't like me talking to him like that one bit. Well, tough shit. I genuinely don't care. I know he hates it whenever I don't get his name right. Not my problem. I'm not getting paid for his name anyway. Just to fuck with him more, I say

“Whatever. James.” I grinned mischievously. His eyes narrowed, and his smile slipped slightly, but it was back before I could blink. He didn't say anything. He turned and nodded at the man standing at the door, and he pressed the button on the side of the door. After a few minutes, the door swung open.

“See, that wasn't so hard now Josiah” I taunted. He grumbled a few expletives to himself and glared at me. Throwing him the middle finger over my shoulder, I walk to the very man who hits all the damn buttons of my self-control and nerves.

The Light is dimmed In here. The room reeked of alcohol, weed, and sex. Mason is a dick. But he's an even bigger dick when he's intoxicated. Today is just not the day to deal with this kind of shit. There are empty bottles of different kinds of wine. Expensive shit, too.

There are five different lingerie scattered around the room. “Nasty by Lil Duval, Tank, and Jacques” is blasting on the speaker, and there on the four-poster bed lies the man himself. Mason and five different women tangled up together. Ugh, one can never tell when the other person ends and when the next begins. I'll never understand how people can do threesomes or whatever they're doing right now. I don't share what's mine and that's it.

They're so busy tangled up with teeth and tongue, they didn't notice my presence. He's vulnerable like this. Walking to the far end, where I spotted the remote during my casual view. I picked it up and pressed it off. The room Is silent for a solid four seconds before the shits start to ask what's going on.

Clapping my hands together loudly, and a menacing grin plaster to my face, I head back to the bed where he's currently struggling to sit up straight. The shit can't even stand on his feet without slipping. This will be very hard. For him, of course, not me. I could always punch that handsome face he knows he has.

See Mason. He's handsome, nobody can deny that. A Daniel Perfetto kind of Handsome, sharp Jawline, curly hair, tall, muscular, tons of tattoos. I like him. If I didn't have the rules of not sleeping with the men I worked with, he's definitely on the top of my list. The things I would do to this man. Ugh.

The girls with him scowled at me and one of them pushed her long manicured nails in my direction "We are busy, beat it "I sucked in a breath and narrowed my eyes at her, I dragged my eyes from her head to her toes, taking her. Her lips are pulled back into a snarl. Her lips are swollen, her cheeks flushed, and her hair is like a nest for birds. She's naked with no ounce of shame. Without saying a word, I pulled the gun out of my back pocket and smirked coldly at her. They couldn't get out of bed fast enough. The sound of the door opening and closing is heard, and the deafening silence as I watch Mason let an easy smile cover his face.

“If it's not my favorite woman in the world” He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively “now that they're gone, want to take their spot? “ Lifting the covers to show me what he was packing, he licked his lips slowly. Then" you did cock blocked me. I deserve this”.

My eyes racked his body, those toned muscles, and he was definitely packing. Tempting but no. Fuck a man like Mason, and he'll go all caveman shit on you. No, thank you. Besides, he's on my shit list at the moment.

“No, thank you. I'll very much appreciate it if we get down to business right away, "The fucker lips curved up like he knew that was going to be my answer. I know that he likes me. I know that he wants me. It doesn't mean I have to acknowledge it.

“Always so serious” he chuckles, and the sound reverberated through the room. He dragged his bottom lips between his teeth and a bit on it. The sight of it is so erotic. I know I said I don't want him, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a fine man when I see one. “You're staring. That's good” If I could give him a name right now, it would be a Cheshire cat.

“Just because I won't bounce on your dick, doesn't mean I can't appreciate a meal when it's presented to me” I didn't think his lips could spread wider, but he proved me wrong when he threw his head back and laughed a full belly laugh.

“You're hilarious Ashanti” he responded while getting up from the bed. Fully naked. Not an ounce of shame as he walked to the bathroom. “Wait for me. Or,“ His eyebrows wiggle suggestively, “Join me. I'll go easy on you”

“Fuck off" His deep laughter continues as he disappears into the bathroom. A small smile slipped on my lips.

While waiting, I pull my phone out of my pocket and send quick messages to my investigators. I've never been fortunate to see Roman's face. He's not even on the media. One would think a man as powerful as him would be plastered all over, but that's not him. He's a very private person, he knows he has so many enemies. He doesn't attend events, always sending people to stand up for him.

The sound of footsteps pulls me from my thoughts, Mason Is freshly showered. He's wearing black Jeans trousers and white underwear tucked in. His hair Is still wet from the shower, his curls are hanging in front of his face. His baby blue eyes are beautiful.

Taking the duvet bag, I throw it at his feet, he looked down at his feet and then back at me with a confused expression

“What's this?” He asked, looking Genuinely confused. When he noticed I wasn't going to answer, he bent down and zipped over the bag, dumping its contents on the floor. Hundreds of bills are scattered on the floor. He looked up at me, still confused.

“Take that money and call your men to retreat the girls they took,” I say, getting all serious. I hate to think that he's involved with such crap. His eyebrows raised into his hairline, if that's possible.

“I have no idea what you're talking about” Either he doesn't know or he's good at pretending. Grabbing the bag from the floor, I unzipped the small pockets and pull out images of a few of his men I recognized in the picture. They're at the port and young girls are looking dirty with their hands tied and gagged on their mouths as the men push them forward. And threw them on the table in front of him.

I watched his face and body for any reaction. His muscles tense, and his hands folded into fists so tight I fear they might break. He's angry, that I know for sure. But is he angry because his man was stupid to get caught by the camera, or because he's innocent?

“Either those are women who've done surgeries or those are your men” my eyes are watching his every moment, he hasn't looked at me since he looked down at the pictures. “I'm sure it's the latter. I've met them. They work for you”

“ I don't have anything to do with this” He threw the the pictures on the floor and looked up at me, I'd never seen him so angry. “They're my men, or so I thought”

“I call bullshit” His eyes narrowed at my choice of words “They follow your orders, why would they do something like this without you ordering it?” It's true. He's the boss and what he says goes. He may be saying the truth and someone is trying to pull one over him, or he's the one who ordered this.

“What do I stand to benefit from selling innocent girls?” He asked dangerously

“Money, tons of it” I fire back without missing a beat. He sighed and walked to his refrigerator and pull out a Château Che val Blanc 1947 that cost about US$305,000. He grabbed two wine glasses and filled them up.

“Whilst that's true, I did not order this.” He says while taking a drink from the glass without taking his eyes off me. “I'll investigate and get back to you”.

“You better Mason” grinning maliciously “or I wouldn't mind putting a bullet where it belongs” He threw his head back and laugh, he was never serious.

“You would love that, wouldn't you?” Walking to stand in front of me, he says” I didn't do this, give me time to investigate, and I'll deliver their head to you”

“You have seventy hours, it's either their asses or your Mason”

He knows I'm serious, I wouldn't hesitate to do what is necessary when the time comes. If there's anything I've learned to do, it's to shut my emotions out. Being stone-cold is the way.

“You're hot when you're bossy,” he says grinning mischievously “you should do that when we're in bed” his lips twitch like he's fighting a smile. Flipping him the bird, I grab the handle of the door, paused, and looked back at him

“I am bossy, and love to be in control" his eyes glinted “but I don't think a man like you can handle me” I taunted

“Why don't you shut that door, and we'll decide who can handle who” he challenges with his eyebrow raised, daring me to take the bait. I knew he would challenge me, so I turned, walked back to him, and run my tongue from the tip of his ears to the base of his throat. I lick his neck sensually. He shivers, and it's not from the cold.

Taking a step back, I looked down at his jeans. His bulge is ready to play. I grinned mischievously and turned to walk without a backward glance. His colorful expletives and strings of curses are the last thing I heard before I shut the door.

Time for business. My phone beeped in my pocket, grabbing it and seeing the message, my lips curved up into a sinister smile. Finally. Some good news.

I can't believe I finally met him, the man I've been waiting to see for so many years. No matter how many times I told myself I was ready to meet him, I wasn't. Throwing the duvet off me, I grab the pack of cigarettes and sit on the couch, my mind going back to the Encounter. “Roman, Roman Domino "It took me a total amount of one point and two seconds for my brain to register what he said.

    AshantiI felt the trickling of breath on my neck, the heat emanating from the body next to me had me jumping upright. I wince at the pain in myself. I look at my side and find Mason sleeping, snoring slightly. His muscular chest is on full display, there's a thin sheet covering the rest of his body. Fuck, I can't believe I broke my rules, and fuck Mason. I've never been one to make rash decisions, but just my first encounter with the man I hate, and here I am. Rolling the duvet off me, I look across the room and grabbed Mason's shirt on the chair arm, and quickly cover my body, I didn't even bring a fucking change of clothes and I can't even believe I SLEPT right after we got done. Sure he's far too good at fucking, if anything the throbbing between my legs bare witness to how good this man fucks. Searching for my phone, I quickly send a message to Roman asking where we're supposed to meet and head for the shower.I peel my clothes off me and check the water's temperature until I'm

Shit. “Ah yes, I'm looking for the bathroom" I turned calmly, my face into an emotionless mask. Play it cool. Play it cool. His eyes roamed my body, staying longer on my face. I don't like it.“The bathroom is that way,” He says finally, pointing to another door on the opposite side.“Thanks” I mumbled as I walk past him, his manly scent swept through my nostril with no warning, fuck he smells so good.Entering the bathroom, I hurriedly walk to the sink and turn the faucet on. I don't even know how the fuck I wasn't paying attention. Whatever attraction I have towards this man can't ruin my plans. With a little motivation to myself, I wash my face and flush the toilet.Stepping into the living room, I'm met with Roman sitting comfortably with two empty champagne glasses, and a bottle of red wine.

He saw a 13-year-old girl begging, barely having flesh on her bones, and took her in. Trained her and never left her side.I shake my head, to clear memories of that part of my life. I never thought I would be reduced to that level, Roman will pay.I slow my steps as I take a steady breath and try to sneak up on Lucas. We've done this so many times. He turns around at the last minute and the next time my ass is on the ground. "Fuck Lucas” I curse, as I groaned out in pain. He's fucking strong“Language,” he says with laughter, I rolled my eyes at him "I taught you what you know, stop sneaking up on me”“You could've allowed me this one” I muttered as I tried to get up, he offered his hands but I twat them away which only makes him laugh harder. “This old man still manages to lay you on your ass,

I can understand, I mean after what just happen, I don't expect any difference.“Are you okay?”Dead silence.I sighed as we enter the elevator, I press the button to my floor. Lee stands in the opposite corner, the farthest away from me. He's not going to make it easy for me, is he?

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

    “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!

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

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

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?

    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
