KAYLA
I stayed seated for a few minutes after he stormed out. The only thing I could hear was the loud panting of my breath as I kept staring at the door.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down before I gathered my things and began to make my way to the dressing room. I knew there would be questions, so I also prepared for how to divert them.

KAYLA “Mama?” I called softly and watched her as she opened her eyes slowly with a tired smile. “How are you feeling? Do you want me to get the doctor?” I asked worriedly. Even though we knew everything was fake, we still had to pretend, even away from the club, because we never know who might be listening. And it had stopped being a pretend game for me because she gave me the motherly love I never had. Leila worried about me like I was her own daughter. She knew about what life was with my father and told me to see her as my mom. This was why I was helping to pay her medical bills. She wasn’t making enough anymore to cover all the treatments she needed. Leila told me there was little hope for her to continue living, but I was going to hang on to that little hope. The treatment has been making her weaker than usual, so she was always asleep when I visited. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I just sat and watched her the entire time. “Kayla?” She asked groggily. “How long have you

KAYLA The interior of the hotel made me feel inferior. Elegance and wealth were on display just like the people in the reception areas. We got scornful looks as we approached the receptionist. Eyes judging us based on our lack of class. Though we all had on simple outfits that cost almost our entire pay checks, we still stood out like sore thumbs, but there was no time to ponder on it as Issa pulled me along to the man who had a disdained smile on his lips. “How may I help you?” He asked, almost with a sneer that didn’t go unnoticed by any of us. “I told myself I was going to behave else this motherfucker would have ended up with my fist on his already crooked nose,” Diamond muttered, not so quietly drawing chuckles from all of us. The man’s eyes widened in both alarm and surprise, not expecting such a comeback. “I’m glad you remember. Please don’t get us kicked out,” Issa whispered harshly back but more quietly, drawing a smirk from Diamond. “I called earlier to make a reserva

RICARDO “Where are the assets?” I asked as soon as I came down from the car in front of the hotel. Aldo Paolo fell into step with me, his face grim like it always was. Aldo was the head of the Black Bullet, which handled arm deals. The family had 5 teams to ensure things moved smoothly. We had Eagle’s eyes who were the assassins and hitmen, with Orlando as Capo of that team. Black Bullet had Aldo as the Capo. The Ox crew, who managed the legal business of the family, had Giovanni as their Capo. Black Chains had Angelo as the Capo, and they managed drug distribution, and Blood Rain had Gian as their Capo. They were the shadows of the family, the spies, and I was the only one who knew what they looked like to ensure no one else could catch them on missions. “In the warehouse” Aldo replied. “I instructed the boys to leave them there in case the deal doesn’t go as planned." We had an arms deal tonight. While others may choose secret and isolated locations, I believed it was better to

KAYLA I jumped in shock when the voice thundered for everyone to be quiet. I looked at Ricardo with wide eyes, and he wasn’t happy. I knew he was around, but I wasn’t expecting him to come here and sort the issue by himself. Diamond and Ivory had thrown hands when Nero had smugly and rudely demanded that we exit the room like we hadn’t paid for it, discounted or not. Issa and I tried to salvage the situation before it escalated, but when Ivory had asked Nero if we would be given a suite on the floor we were being transferred to, he had rudely stated that we should be grateful we weren’t being kicked out totally as if we were staying here for free. Diamond wouldn’t let go and kept insisting that she would not leave unless she was given another suite, but the staff who had joined Nero later said all the suites were on this floor, but the floor had been reserved. They claimed Nero was forgetful and had given us the floor when he had been instructed not to. He was not only rude but i

KAYLA “I think there is going to be a business deal tonight, but I can’t get to it because the floor is heavily guarded, so don’t say anything yet. I’ll let you know when I have more info on it.” I sent a quick text to Miro while standing at the entrance of the room. I could hear the girls chatting in the room, so I had a few minutes to text before someone came looking for me. My phone dinged immediately with a reply. “Don’t try to get close. Ricardo is very smart and cunning. We can’t risk you getting caught before you get any plausible information." I deleted the message just as Issa came to the door. “What are you doing here? Were you texting someone?” She asked, eyeing the phone in my hand. I gave her a small smile. “Just the nurse in charge of my mama. I was just asking her to give me an update in case anything happens." Issa’s face turned sympathetic “Don’t worry, K. Your mama’s going to be fine.” I didn’t tell them that the doctor said there was no hope. “Thank you,

KAYLA We arrived at the club, and it was packed. It was also an underground branch, but this one was way more filled than ours ever was. A lot of the people in the club were foreigners who had rooms in the hotel. “Now this is what I’m talking about when I say I want to shake some ass,” Diamond yelled and began twerking right there at the door. “It feels good for once not to be the one on the poles." Ivory gestured to the pole sections where sexy girls were working the poles, and they were good, way better than I was. We walked deeper into the club to the bar first to grab our drinks to get the night started. Now that I was here in a sexy dress that matched my hair, I felt high on the attention. It made me feel sexy, and that was something I had never thought about myself before. Eyes followed us, but no one tried to touch us. It was a nice change that people weren’t touching me without my permission, unlike when I was dancing. I knew that there were going to be a few weirdos h

KAYLA “What do you mean by that?” I asked, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible. It was a trap. He didn’t suspect anything, but he was trying to find out if I was hiding something. If I panicked and fumbled over my words, I would be falling into the trap he had laid out for me. “I don’t know." He shrugged. “You tell me." “You want me to tell you what you think is off about me? That doesn’t make any sense. Tell me what made you say that.” I huffed. “You look like a woman who holds too many secrets. Secrets I wouldn’t like and would probably kill you for if I found out,” he answered firmly, and I wondered if I had let something slip. “Everyone has secrets. We wouldn’t be humans without them; besides, I bet your secrets are worse than mine. You look like the calm on the outside but deadly on the outside type. Beautiful like sin but dangerous like the devil.” “You should be a poet." He mocked, but it wasn’t in a tone that was insulting, so I just shrugged with a smirk. “I

RICARDO“And? Does that make me someone you can’t trust?” She huffed, her eyes a fiery pit of blue flames.I opened my mouth to argue when the familiar ringing tone assigned to someone special dinged from my phone.“I have to go, but we aren’t finished” I told her without looking at my phone.I gently nudged her off my lap and couldn’t stop the smile when she grumbled about it being the second time she moved.“It’s not the same.” I corrected when dropping two bundles of cash in her lap “At least I’m not storming out without a word.”“Whatever” She grumbled with a roll of her eyes.A chuckle slipped past my lips. It was the first time in a long time that I was easily amused.“I’ll see you soon, Kayla” Her name rolled easily off my lips.She said nothing and I walked out. I wasn’t stupid. While I was entranced by her, I knew she was hiding something. I just had to figure out if that something was harmful to me or not.When I walked out of the club, I finally looked at the text message f
