》》Roxanne《《

I knocked on the door. "I seriously think we shouldn't do this," Melvin said anxiously.

"Do you wanna save your sister or not?" I enquired eyeing him.

He smiled, "You're so bossy."

I rolled my eyes before knocking again.

The door was opened and I clicked record on my phone. I was almost shocked to see Adrian. I mean it was normal to gain weight during pregnancy and but she looked really different. Not because of the weight gain alone but becuase of the look in her eyes.

Something Jason said Adrian and I had in common was the fire in our eyes. But it seemed the fire had died and everythi

    》》Adrian《《I sighed after I finally put Arthur to sleep. I went back to looking through newspapers for jobs. I couldn't really get a job now since Arthur is only two and half months old, he still needs me around.Over these two months of having him though, I've learnt to really respect mothers and it made me realise how much my own mother was put through to raise me and Melvin. But over these two months it's been tougher and tougher everyday.I barely eat now. I'm too busy worrying about Arthur's next few months. I'm too busy dealing with my mental demons. Sometimes just feeding him is so difficult. Everything just takes so much effort. And him waking up in the middle of the night drives me crazy sometimes.

    》》Roxanne《《 Jack returned and we went back to our game of chess. Just then there was a knock on the door. I got up and went to open the door. "Tyler? What are you doing here?" "I came to check on Jason, I saw him at the bar drinking uncontrollably and I wanted to make sure he's alright." "He's sleeping now. Would you like to come in?" I asked. "Sure." I stepped aside and let Tyler in. I closed the door. "Roxy, I need to talk to you," Tyler said. "Sure," I sighed. I led her to my

    》》Jack《《Calvin drove us to Jason's apartment. It was a silent drive. Radio was crap, playing the most depressing songs you'll ever hear. The one song that really hit so hard, I saw Jason cry, was Happier by Marshmello and Bastille.I'm not too sure what about the lyrics caused Jason to shed a few tears, but I knew I had to listen to that song again, maybe look up the lyrics.I must admit though, I was still messed up inside about it. Roxanne... she and Jason were my younger siblings. Yes, I'm older than them both. Older than Jason by two whole years and a few months. Why he's in charge, I have no idea. Yes he started this whole thing but it wouldn't have got off the ground without me and my connections. Roxanne though, she was the blood of this.

    》》Jason《《 "Adrian?" She caressed my cheek as tears began to roll down her face. "I heard what happened. I tried to ignore it, I really did, I just couldn't let you go through this alone." "Adrian... please Adrian," I sat up, "please stay. Don't leave me. Stay with me, please," I pleaded as my tears raced down my face. "Five minutes!" the guard standing outside said. "Jason... Jason, listen to me," she soothed wiping my tears unable to hold back her own, "I don't wanna hurt you. I believe you are a strong man, and you will get through this, but I can't- I can't do this with you. My life is in Bedford, my life is with Arthur."

    》》Jack《《 I sighed while I watched as Jason went upstairs. When he disappeared I looked at my group of friends. They looked just as disappointed as I was. I couldn't blame them, I wasn't the one who came up with the idea to bust him out, Calvin did, and everyone else supported him. The thing that holds us togather unlike any other cartel is our friendship. Business can wait. When one's down, everyone is to stop amd help 'em up. Even if it means we're gonna have to carry 'em for a while. No one gets left behind. And this whole ordeal Jason has been going through, its dragging everyone down. Roxy was one of us, losing one of our own is like losing a limb. It's painful. Every other limb suffers. Until you finally get used to it.

"Look Jason, I know you're still messed up inside. I mean who am I kidding, you lost your sister less than three weeks ago. But you are in danger here. We have to leave this place," I explained. "Jack, you're my brother and I get that you're tryna protect me and yourself but... I lost the most important person in my life! I bought this place for her! I resorted to crime for her! I got nothing to lose now, absolutely nothing! "Adrian won't let me help her or get anywhere close to my son! You want

  • Check Mate   Authors Note

    Hey Readers Thanks for all the support so far. I am truly grateful to each and every one of you. I just realised I published Chapter 44 before Chapters 42 and 43. I literally gave myself I slap when I saw it. Like no joke. A nice hard slap on the forehead😂. I will get in contact with my editor to fix it asap. In the meantime, please read Chapter 42 and 43 first then go back to 44. I know its quite a bit of work and a bit of a late warning, I'm sorry😅. Please bare with me. Oh and the end is like 11 chapters away, super excited. It's been quite the journey. I hope you have enjoyed it so far as much as I have. Thanks again for all the support. DafireA

Hey, do you know how my fiancee is doing?""She is still unconscious but she is showing small signs of recovery but thats not very promising. She is the high dependency unit," the doctor said."May I see her?""Sure, follow me," the doctor sighed.He led me to her room. He opened the door for me before he left. I took a seat beside Tyler and held her hand. She was really badly injured. Scratches covered her beautiful face along with a few bruises and a few cuts.She had a cast on her knee and on her elbow as far as I could see. My heart cracked as i remembered our little argument before we left.**Flashback**Tyler grabbed the keys and said, "I'm driving.""No I'll drive!" I said."Who's the better driver here?""Oh come on Tye-""No! Who's the better drive here?""You," I s

    》》Jason《《We made our way into the gates, five of our men, just as planned, were standing there, keeping watch. On the ground, dead, were George's men. We split and I went with Tyler and Jack to the right where there was a lot of shooting.We hadn't lost any men yet on our side. That was until three vehicles came in through the front gate. Killing our men.I took cover behind a wall and shot some of the men stepping out of the pick-up trucks.I heard a gunshot right behind me and looked to see Jack had a killed a guy behind me. "I got this covered, go find George and end this."I nodded and headed into the house. I looked in every room I saw but it seemed the house was empty. I hoped and prayed that George didn't find out we were planning an attack.I stopped walking when I heard footsteps. I listened for where they were coming from. I saw an armed man trying to sneak by and shot him dead. I looked around when I heard footsteps again.

    》》Adrian《《After crying for a good few hours I decided to get up and look for my son.I walked into the bedroom again and looked around. I scanned to room, trying to search for anything out of the normal."Arthur?" I called.The bedroom was empty still.I went to the bathroom. I looked at the toilet in its aging process, the shower I hadn't washed in two weeks and the basin with a leaking tap. Arthur wasn't there.I limped to the kitchen. I searched his usual hiding places, a few cabinets, next to the fridge and under the sink. He wasn't playing hide-and-seek.I again looked at the sheet of paper I found, I analysed the handwriting. It looked familiar. I dug in my bra and took out the money Jason gave me. I count it and thought of a plan.I took deep breaths to pull myself together before I went to get changed. I looked in between my clothing for a box. I opened it and took out all the cash, showing it in my pocket. I slo

    》》Adrian《《"Fuuuckkkk!!! Jason!" I screamed as we both hit our orgasms. He collapse beside me, breathless.I lay on his chest listening to how his heart raced in his chest until it pumped normally. It felt good to finally see him again. To feel his skin. Hear his voice. It was at that moment i realised he truly was the love of my life. Too bad I don't get happy every afters.He kissed my forehead and sighed, "You have no idea how much I missed this."I just sighed in response. "How'd you find me?" I asked."Through Daniel Navarre," he sighed.I froze."He was looking for you," he went on explaining, "Tyler kidnapped him and I tortured and killed him. I went to his house found documents on his desk stating Arthur was in a school in your area. So I searched and I found him."I caressed his chest and realised he had gotten a new tattoo. "I see you got another tattoo," I stated. I sat up and read out, "You were my favourite h

I then walked to a cheap motel close by. That was where I'd meet a client.I went to the reception. "Hi. Im looking for Mr Collard.""Second floor, room 5," the receptionist said."Thanks."I made my way up to the room. He said the door would be open so I walked right in closing the door behind me.I saw him laying on the bed already undressed."It's good to see you again," he smiled. "I'll pay you afterwards."I stared at the old pervert for a moment. I sighed and undressed taking the sheets off of him to reveal his naked body.I put on a smile as I got on top of him. Just then his phone started ringing. He took the call. After he hung up he said, "We'll have to make this quick, my daughter is in labour."Wow. He's a

"What's up?" I asked."I'm making you a godfather," Jack smiled.I cocked a brow in confusion. "What do you mean you're making me a godfather? Who's godfather am I?"Jack rolled his eyes, "Ok let me speak Spanish for you," I sighed impatiently, "Guess who's gonna be a father?""Tyler's pregnant?" I enquired."No dumbass, she's got a dick.

    》》Adrian《《 I sat in the corner carrying Arthur in my arms, deep in thought about what happened just a few hours ago. **Flashback** I tried to storm past but he grabbed my arm and said sternly, "You're not going anywhere." "Daniel, you're not my boss, I'm leaving!" I tried to push past him but he pushed me away before giving me a hard backhand slap on the face. "Youre not going anywhere!!" I shot him a glare before I tried to punch him only for the attempt to be blocked. The look on his face was one I had never seen before. He looked evil.
