I'll love to hear what you think!❤️
Ashanti“So that's what happened” Caleb finishes as he looks at me and Roman with a stupid smirk on his face.I can't even find it in myself to be embarrassed right now, the only source I had for knowing who has been tormenting my life.“He didn't give any identity?” I ask, still in shock.“No” Marcus answers, “He was pretty keen on ending his life and protecting his family, they're all saying the same thing; their boss is dangerous.” He says, looking at me, “Which could only mean one or two things”.“What?” Roman asks, standing calmly on the other end of the room. “It's someone with money and enough power to influence someone like that, or it's someone who is corny and has enough arms at his disposal”“What's the difference?” Caleb asks curiously.“Really? You don't know what the difference is?” Marcus asks, his tone dripping with annoyance. “It doesn't matter, what matters is we find this man and have enough people on our side to help us”“Speaking of helping, who did you guys go t
“I'm going to kill him” I scoff, “Get in line”I had just gotten done explaining what happened to Caleb, and he's fuming. Save to say, I'm not the only one who wants his head.“I'm not getting in no fucking line. I'm bypassing everything and reaching him faster and quicker than everyone else”.I take in a deep breath and exhale, “Calm down Caleb, I'm fine” I say as I drive through the city, heading toward Lucas's place. “Yes, alive after you said you made a fucking deal with someone you don't know!! What if it's a trap?”“I survived today, didn't I?” he doesn't answer, “I'll be fine. Besides, he doesn't seem like the type of man to play someone”“Fine, but I'm handling Jackson whether you like it or not”“Fine by me. If I handle him, his spirit won't have a place to stay when it leaves the earth. I thought because he was grieving, he could have free passes, but it's enough”!“Agreed, are you coming back?”“Not yet, I'm going to see Lucas”“Who the fuck is Lucas?”“Someone you don't k
>≥>>Sexual Contains in the chapter.... Please Skipp to the next one>>>AshantiI park my car and look at the tall building and sighHere we go…It's the next day, and I'm here to see Mason. I walked confidently into the building and greeted the woman being the desk, looked like she was expecting me. She beamed at me and pointed to the elevator.My feet thud on the ground and I almost smirk at the look some of these people are giving me, I'm wearing some black leather pants, black boots, a black shirt tucked in, and my black leather jacket.My hair is wrapped into a ponytail and I probably look like some of these villains out of a W*****d story.I smirk at them and enter the elevator and press the PH among the button and watch as the door goes up to the penthouse. The elevator door alerts me of my arrival, and again Joe and His colleagues are here.“Ah look who it is, Joe” His eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything “I'm here to see your boas, Josiah”He smirks “You like getting on my
RomanI've been pacing and in deep thought ever since she left, I know she went to see him.Mason.Fuck knows what they're doing right now!I don't even have the right to be jealous or angry when she's not mine, especially when we're on the verge of war.But why does it feel like she's mine? It can't be just sex between us, can it?I know she feels whatever this is, I can't be alone in this. I see the way she watches me when she thinks I'm not looking.“You're going to wear a hole in that ground if you don't stop what you're doing” I turned to see the smug look on Caleb's face, “Why don't you just call her?”I scowl, “Who said it's about her?”“Oh don't play me for a fool Roman, I see the way you look at her, and her you”I simply raise my eyebrows, refusing to say anything.“It's okay if you would rather not admit it but hear me okay”“What do you want?” I ask with a heavy exhale. There's an ache in my head and I really don't want to be talking right now.“That girl has gone through s
AshantiTomorrow is the day, I can feel and taste the revenge in the air.It's 9 pm.Lucien called me earlier to remind me of our meeting and I confirmed it… Strangely he didn't send me the location, he said he hasn't decided where yet, and he'll let me know where to go.Marcus has managed to gather about fifteen men loyal to Lucien, while Mason brought ten, He says he didn't want to bring too many of his men to alert people of something, and it reaches Lucien, which is understandable.Roman has been quiet and distant, and I hate that he wouldn't talk to me about anything apart from the plan. I don't blame him, but I don't understand why he's mad, I'm not his.We're having a general meeting today, Every man that sworn to go with us has been alerted of the meeting… I'm currently waiting on Caleb to reach me.He's yet to identify who leaves without entering, it's either Lucien leaves another way or there are just so many guests at that damn bidding. Either way, I want answers.I'm wearin
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
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
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

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
“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!
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
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
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
