I will definitely need Chad to help me on this one, I can not do this on my own. I could try, but this is a job that has another level of risk, so trying is not an option.If I am going to do this job, I have to do it perfectly.I wake up from the bed and from the view outside the window, I can tell that it is already dark out.I remove my clothing and as I do this, I am reminded of someone. Someone that always wanted me to join them in the shower so they would keep the door of the bathroom open.Someone that would stare at me as if I am the only girl in the world. Someone who makes my senses go to hell, and brings my emotions alive with just their touch.I am reminded of Robert Jones. How can I ever forget him? I can’t even if I try, he is, or I can say, was a part of me.My eyes land on the landline in my room and the urge to call Robert up just to hear his voice overwhelms me.I really miss him, and it would be amazin
For second my mind becomes blank and I just stare at him. But then he speaks,“Top of the morning to you.” His voice is soft, as if he is trying his best not to upset me in any way.He hands the bouquet of flowers to me and I can already smell them even though I have not received them from him yet.“I bought these for you. I don’t know your favorite, so I just bought you every kind that I could get my hand on.” He explains and butterflies dance in my belly.“Why are you here?” I clear my throat and I manage to ask.“Oh, um, I came with Chad. He should be on his way upstairs any minute, he stopped to get us all coffee.” Robert tells me, and I reply with a small, “oh.”Instead of verbally telling him to come in, I only walk back in the house and I leave the door open.I hear his footsteps as he enters and closes the door.I enter the living room and I sit on the hardwood floor. Robert walk towards me and does the
Chad has given me all the information I need on Jacob Reigns, which is not even much, considering that the guy is so good as being a ghost.But I do have an idea. I can try to set up a meeting with him, and cross my fingers that it would work.Even if I won’t see him in person, talking to him would greatly help my cause. “Are you ready?” Chad asks me and I sigh shakily.We are still in the apartment and I have dressed in my leather attire. Robert is chewing his fingernails, which proves that he is as nervous as I am.Each time I glance at him, I contemplate on whether I should tell him about the pregnancy. But the thing is, if I tell him, he and Chad would want me to abort this job. And I do not want to.The feeling of the high level risks that I face seems thrilling; and I know what I am going to do is not exactly good for the baby, but I am going to do it anyway.This is not only Robert’s child, but mine, an
“Oh my gosh.” I say in shock as my eyes land on the face of the person in the chair.I would have never thought.“Henry?” Chad asks incredulously.The amount of questions and confusion going through my head is mind blowing.“Why do you seem so surprised?” Henry asks me as he chuckles.“But, how is this possible? So you’re telling me that you’re Jacob Reigns?” I ask him and he wets his lips.“In the flesh.” He replies.“Let me help you understand...how do you think I am so wealthy?” He asks.“Because you work your butt off.” I respond and he shrugs lightly.“Yeah, that, but I also have a dark side that brings me the cash more quickly. I created this alias, Jacob Reigns, so that I can fully do whatever naughty illegal thing I wanted to do; and it worked so perfectly.” “And no one could tell your identity because you were hiding in plain sight. No one would expect Henry who works with the queen of England to be one of the most notorious mafia bosses in America.” I say and Henry claps fo
The baby. For a brief second, everything turns black, and then my vision returns. A growing pain appears in my stomach and I can't seem to breathe properly."Jen, are you okay?" I hear Chad ask me, but I soon fall to the floor. A sudden burst of gunfire erupts and I go unconscious.*****My eyes flutter open and I feel incredibly tired, even though I just woke up from sleeping. I look to my side and I see Robert. He seems to be sleeping in the chair next to the bed that I am in.I clear my throat and he wakes up from his nap."Oh, you are awake." He says to me in a groggy voice."Where am I?" I ask him and he frowns slightly.Instead of answering me, he runs his hand through his hair in frustration."Robert, is everything okay? Where am I?" I ask him once more."How can you be so selfish, Jen? How could you?" He sounds angry, and I have a feeling that I know what it is about.He must have found out that I am pregnant."You were carrying our child and you decided that going on a risky
“May I ask what you mean when you say that Naomi is back on the radar?” I ask Chad and I wait for his response.We are all still in this room that resembles the rooms that are usually in hospitals. Robert is seated right next to me in a chair, Chad and Carlos are sitting on a huge brown leather couch while James stands at the doorway and lays his weight on the wall by using his back.“What I mean is that since we took credit for Naomi killing the lieutenant, and collecting the one billion, I have had my eye out for her. I dated her in the past and even proposed to her, and I know for a fact that she is far from forgiving.” Chad explains, and I am a witness to it.One time, when Chad and Naomi were still romantically together, Chad started texting his ex. It was actually really innocent and he even told Naomi about it, but she was not having it. In the end, he gave up and listened to her; which was only because she had broken his phone on his head, giving him a mild concussion.Naomi c
“I want to see you bare, I want to see every part of you. Take it off.” Robert says to me as he watches me like a wild animal waiting to devour its meal.His tone is rough and incredibly husky, and his briefs are too tight on him due to the grown length of his manhood. He waits patiently and I remove the rest of my clothing.“It’s your turn,” I say to him and he smirks.“You don't have to tell me twice, sweetheart.” He chuckles as he removes the rest of his clothing. He bites his bottom lip and closes the small distance between us.His left arm pulls my body close to his and we are skin to skin. His right-hand plays in my hair and he loosens it from the ponytail it is in, causing it to fall.“Make love to me, Robert. Take me yours.” I whisper and I earned a moan from him.After two hours our us teasing each other and then having sex, we both now lay on the bed, panting as if we had just run a marathon. I lay on his chest and I can hear his heartbeat. He has his arm around my waist and
Henry's mouth is moving and words are coming out, but he does not seem to be making sense. I can hear Chad and the others laughing, I think they heard what Henry just said also.“The famous Jacob Reigns, the one who struck fear in the heart of his enemies just by the mention of his name. Who would have thought that this notorious mafia boss is just a British guy who has been in love with my best friend for as long as I can remember.” Chad says loudly as he and the others close the distance between us.Henry guards are all on the lookout in case anything happens, as they have their guns aimed at us.“Chadwick, the best friend of Jen. How is your brother doing? I heard he was dying in the hospital.” Henry says in with a straight face as he stares at Chad.Chad seems livid by what Henry has just said.“Henry, I’m warning you. If you dare talk about my brother again, there won’t be a Jacob Reigns for anyone to fear anymore.” He threatens Henry.Henry chuckles and then James speaks.“Jen i
My eyes widen and I immediately try to open the door of the moving car so I can jump out but all the doors are locked. Adrenaline floods every part of my body, it is like it is all happening so fast and I have no control.“What are you doing? Stop that! Do you want to get yourself killed?” Russell shouts as Usman increases the speed of the car so jumping out would seem more painful to me if I decide to do so.“Stay the hell away from me!” I reply to him aggressively when he tries to reach out to me and he raises his hands in surrender.“Okay, okay,” He says and then he settles back into his seat.“What the hell is going on?” I ask after a full minute of silence. I am much calmer right now, I was acting out of instinct when I realized that the person that was sitting next to the driver was Russell.How is that even possible? Was he not in an induced coma a few days ago? “Are you finished with trying to jump out of a speeding car just to avoid me?” Russell replies to me and I hear Usma
“Natalie is smart, I will give her that. She had all the video evidence cleared before we could get our hands on it,” Taylor explains and I at everything else in the room but her.“May I ask, who are you professionally?” I ask her, and she smiles lopsidedly.“I work with the police department in Russia, I am the police chief,” She informs me and I nod slowly. “As I was saying, Natalie made the investigation a lot more difficult for us. Her skills in covering evidence are impressive, but I believe that she got some inside help,” Taylor continues what she was explaining.“And?” I beckon her to explain more. If Natalie covered up our tracks so well, how does she know that Natalie did it? That she was the one that pulled the trigger and not me.“I know you want to know how I know that she was the one who pulled the trigger, and I am going to explain just that to you,” Taylor tells me.“Okay,” I drag the word as I wait for her to tell me what she knows.“I am Russell’s third wife and it h
What in the world is happening? Why am I even being arrested? Even if this is about Russell Marshall’s investigation, the person they should be arresting is Natalie, I was not the one that shot the man in the head.“This has to be a joke, right?” Chad laughs but when he sees that the military guys are not even smiling, he realizes that this is serious.I gave the piece of document that they handed to me, I read it quickly and it authorizes them to arrest me, but what I don’t see is the charge.“Your hands, please,” One of the military guards says a bit softly and I do as he says. I place my hands behind my head and I hear Chad scoff.“Do you want us to do something?” The guards that we have at the entrance ask me but I disagree by wagging my head. It would only make things worse, from experience, going peacefully with the authorities is always the best thing to do.“I am calling Robert, and then the lawyer. We would get this settled in no time,” Chad tries to comfort me as he makes a
Yes, we certainly need to talk. I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs onto James.I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.“So what are doing?” Cara asks no one in particular
“What do you mean that he’s alive?” I ask Robert as he stands to his feet, he looks worried but that is in no way compared to how I feel right now. Gosh, does Natalie know this? I need more information.“Which news channel did you learn that from?” I fire another question at Robert, not giving him the chance to answer the first. “Here, take a look, it is all over social media, and all the big news broadcasters are airing it,” Robert says as he hands his phone to me. The last time I held it was when I found out that he was partially cheating on me.I can not say that he was actually cheating because he did not sleep with Amanda, but he did receive nudes from her and whatnot. In my book, that is cheating, but I am just going to call it partially cheating in light of what Robert and Amanda explained to me.But that is not the issue at hand right now, we have a huge freaking problem. I need to get dressed and let Natalie and Cara know what has happened.I take the phone from Robert and I
Some might say that we are moving a bit too fast, but I have known Robert for close to a year now. Still, it seems like such a limited amount of time to decide to spend your entire life with someone, but why wait any longer?Robert and I have had our fair share of storms and problems, but we have weathered everyone one of them, plus we have a great support system. Chad, James, Carlos, and Jake are sure to be there for us if we happen to begin to feel the storms of life raging again, and of course, we will.The amount of crazy that I have been through individually is insane, my entire life has been far from normal and I am starting to stop wanting normal. Besides, normal is a bit overrated. Marrying someone you have known for only almost a year is not very expected, or should I say, normal? But that is the thing, I am not normal and do not even want to be anymore.“Well?” Robert asks me as I drag my body off the unmade bed. He suggested that we should get married next week after I ment
I can not believe that this just happened, Robert proposed to me! This is amazing and I feel so good, but I also feel like this is too good and I don’t deserve it. But I am just going to sum that up as insecurity trying to present itself in the form of me not being worth it enough to get proposed to.After I said yes, I think Jake was more excited than everyone else. Chad and the others came out soon after and I have a strong feeling that they somehow knew that Robert was going to propose. Robert placed a very expensive ring on my finger and he rose from his kneeling, I placed Jake in the chair where I was sitting and Robert and I embraced. We then shared a kiss and everyone joined Jake as he clapped. As soon as the applause died, the rain ceased gradually and the sun began to shine through the dark clouds. It seemed too perfect that I literally had to pinch myself two times to make sure that I was not dreaming. Good thing I was not, because I would have been so mad at myself.We e
It is usually sunny here, but today is different, and besides, it is a Saturday. I think the weather chose the best time to be like this, I don’t have to drive Jake to school and I get to spend the entire day with him.Yesterday was so eventful, I had to explain all that happened to me in Russia to Robert, James, Carlos, and Chad about three times before they finally could grasp it all. I also had the responsibility of explaining why I have suddenly decided to trust and forgive someone that caused me so much trauma, Cara was quiet when I took my time to make them all understand that I have finally decided to bury the hatchet concerning what she did.I am not going to pretend like I don’t feel a stab of emotional pain when I look at her, but I am going to try my best to move on. I am currently sitting on the porch alone while listening to the beating of the rain on the ground and roof, it is very soothing and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Everybody else is in the house and
I open the door of the house and I walk in as Cara follows behind me slowly and tentatively. We are out of Russia and in Cyprus, though only Cara came along. Natalie took a later flight because she wanted to come with Susan, her grandmother.It took us a couple of hours to fly from Russia to Cyprus, especially because I did not have my passport on me. Cara had to pull some strings and call in some favors at airport security, and to my pleasant surprise, it all worked out smoothly.“Are you sure that they would want to see me?” I hear Cara’s voice as we walk further into the house. Everything looks pretty much the same, but I don’t see anyone here. “Where is everyone?” I say to myself in a low tone as I continue to explore the house.Suddenly I hear heavy footsteps and I look toward the source, someone is walking down the stairs. As soon as the person's eyes meet mine, they stop in their tracks.“Whoa, am I tripping, or am I seeing Jen Davis?” Chad asks me and he continues his descent
