Draven and Henry watched as their men drew out a plan on a map and explained to them how the plan would be carried out. Henry’s phone suddenly rang and Draven gave him a look, he picked up his phone and looked at the caller.“It's Allison.” He said and Draven rolled his eyes, Henry ended the call but she called back in a few seconds. “I will just answer the call and know what she wants.” He said and picked up the call.“Why the fuck did you end the call?” She screamed and he withdrew the phone from his ear immediately.“Fuck. Why did you yell like that?” He asked and Draven turned to him while the men stopped talking.“I am at the hospital.”“Why are you at the hospital?”“Xalia got stabbed.” She replied and Henry looked at Draven.“What? What hospital? We will be there.”“I will send the address.” She replied and ended the call.“What's wrong?” Draven asked.“It's Xalia, she got stabbed and she is in the hospital.”“What?” Draven muttered and rushed out of the room with Henry.*****
THE NEXT MORNINGXalia laughed lightly at Allison’s joke as she ate. Allison and Henry were up early so they kept her company while the nurses cleaned her wound and gave her breakfast. Draven was still asleep next to her and she decided not to wake him up.“Did Draven sleep that late? It's past 9:00 a.m, I have never seen him sleep that long before.” Henry said, glancing at the time on his phone.“I didn't fall asleep early so he was awake.” Xalia replied and Henry nodded.“Mr. Wade seems to be caring.” Allison teased and Xalia blushed.Draven suddenly opened his eyes and he slowly sat up, Xalia turned to him with a smile and he ran his hands through his hair.“Finally.” Henry said.“Hey.” Xalia called and Draven nodded at her as he felt a sharp pain in his head. “Are you okay?” She asked and he nodded in response.“The doctor said Xalia will be discharged today by evening.” Henry told Draven and he looked at her.“Are you okay?” He asked.“Yeah.” She replied.“Draven, we really hav
THE NEXT DAY Xalia smiled happily as she ate her breakfast, she kept smiling as she recalled how sweet Draven was to her last night.Allison kept staring at her and wondered what was making her smile so widely.“Okay! That's it. Spill it. You have been smiling all morning since you came back from Draven’s room. Tell me everything now!” Allison said, turning to her.“Draven and I went to the Stone Mountain last night and kissed me.” She giggled and Allison looked at her confused.“Wait, he hasn't kissed you before then?” She asked and Xalia shook her head.“But you guys had sex and also kissed on your wedding day.”“He didn't kiss me that day, it was just a peck on the side of the lips.” “Woah. So what happened next?” Allison asked excitedly.“Well, because of my injury, we couldn't have sex so he went down on me instead.”“Oh my God.” Allison giggled and they both laughed. Xalia’s phone rang and she looked at the caller. It was Draven, she giggled happily before picking up the call.
Draven breathed out as he stood in front of Xalia’s suite, he lifted his hand and pressed the doorbell. “Come in, it's open!” He heard Allison yell and slowly walked in, he walked fully into the suite and paused when he saw her on the bed munching on a bag of chips. He looked around wondering where Xalia was.“What?” Allison asked.“Where is Xalia?” He asked and she frowned.“She has been in your suite all day so much she is supposed to be with you.” “No, she left like an hour ago, she is supposed to be here.”“She didn't come here.” “What?” Draven asked and Allison got off the bed.“I haven't seen her in hours.” “Shit.” He muttered and hurriedly brought out his phone from his pants pocket, he dialled her number but the call wasn't connecting.“Fuck.” “Is something wrong?” Allison asked as her heart started to race. “You really don't have to be worried. She grew up in Atlanta, she knows her way around.” Allison said but Draven didn't give her a response. He rushed out of the su
THE NEXT DAY“I am going to miss you so much.” Allison whined as she hugged Xalia tightly.“I know, I will miss you too.” “Too?”“So much.” She added and Allison smiled.“Much better.” She muttered and Xalia chuckled.“You know you guys are seeing this weekend, right? She will be coming to New Jersey this weekend.” Darven said walking to them and they sighed.“I know, but I have to pay all my bills till Friday.” She whined and Xalia laughed.“Oh, you can just say you will miss my credit card.” Draven scoffed and she chuckled.“Aren't you going to say goodbye to Henry?”“Nah, I will see him this weekend. What's the point?” She shrugged and Draven shook his head as he stared at them.“It's a fucking hard to understand girls.” He muttered.“Bye, baby.” Allison said and hugged Xalia again, Draven rolled his eyes and pulled Xalia away from her. Xalia laughed and waved at Allison as Draven pulled her towards the plane.“Oh, they are finally done.” Henry said and glanced at Allison, she sm
Xalia sat on the bed and watched the doctor as he checked her wound, it was a lot better and the pain already reduced drastically. She already took the shot. “You are good to go.” He said and she nodded with a fake smile, she got off the bed and walked out of the room to see Draven waiting. Without them saying a word to each other, he walked ahead of her and she trailed behind him. Being lost in thought, Xalia suddenly bumped into a guy and was about to fall, he hurriedly held her hand to stop her from falling.“Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to… ““It's fine.” He cut her off and smiled at her, Xalia smiled back and they both stared at each other. Draven suddenly stood next to her and gave the guy a questioning look. “Wade.” The guy called and Xalia rolled her eyes. Of course, everybody knows him. “Beck.” Draven called back.“I see you are a friend of Wade.” The guy chuckled. “She is my wife.” He replied and he looked at Xalia surprised.“You got married to Wade?” He ask
Xalia sighed and stared at him, he looked bothered and lost in thought.“Is something wrong?” She found herself asking and he glanced at her. He didn't say anything and she sighed.‘Isn't he going to do anything? Is he just going to tie her down without doing anything?’ She thought.“Is there a reason I am being tied up like this?” She asked and he stood up, he untied her and walked out of the red room. Xalia sighed and wondered what was wrong with him.He seemed colder than usual.“Is he mad about what happened in the hospital?” She mumbled to herself and shook her head.“Nah, it can't be that.” She said and stood up, she put on her clothes and took a look at the room before walking out.*********AT NIGHT Xalia stood in front of Draven’s room and thought about knocking on the door. She couldn't help but worry about him, she deserved to be mad at him but she found it so hard.Since he left the red room, he has been in his room all day. She had lunch and dinner alone. Things were sta
“Draven.” Xalia whispered in fear. He kept staring at the man waiting for him to make the next move.“Really Henry? Cut the crap already.”Draven scoffed and rolled his eyes, he folded his arms and Xalia became confused.‘Henry?’ She thought. “What the fuck man?” The stranger groaned and took off his face cap and face mask, he withdrew the gun from Xalia’s head and she turned to him.“Henry? What the fuck?” She yelled and hit his chest, Henry laughed and Draven walked towards them.“That wasn't funny.” She said and he chuckled.“I know, I am sorry. I just wanted to pull a prank on Draven.”“And how did that work out?” Draven asked.“You knew it was him all along?” Xalia asked, turning to Draven.“Not until I told him to pull the trigger.” “What? What if he wasn't the one?” She asked and he shrugged.“That would have been bad.” He replied and Xalia scoffed.“You both are crazy.” She said angrily and it walked away from them, Henry watched her storm away before turning to Draven.“You
