"Cheers!" They all cheer in unison, having me bring my glass down to tap it on the table before downing the substance. My eyes squeeze shut as I feel the liquid slide down my throat, causing an intense burning sensation . Fuck, I hate alcohol. After taking our 'final shots' everyone beg
Amber's P.O.V As we walk into the massive party I immediately turn my phone off and place it back into my pocket, completely disregarding Gianna's message. Jack's hand reaches for mine, having him hold onto me rather firmly as he leads me through the crowd of dancing people. I walk a littl
There's a faint pause in our conversation, leaving us to stand silently beside one another as I continue to drink my can of strawberry flavored alcohol. "Wait... You do know about all the things that the guys have to do for Zac's affiliates right?" She asks as she looks over at me suspici
I quickly shake my head no, feeling completely uncomfortable with this situation. I immediately attempt to push my way out of Jack's hold, but his strength completely overbears mine as he keeps me in place. "Stop being such a bitch. You're the one who wanted to come out and party. I'm try
Amber's P.O.V I feel a sense of adrenaline rush throughout my entire body, making me feel alive. "Jack, I can literally hear my heart beating in my chest." I say as he pulls my body closer to his now that we were standing in the middle of the dance floor. "I know, but it ma
Thank God. That could've been really bad just now. If Jack read those texts, there's no telling how he may have reacted. He might've just killed me right here. "You're supposed to be spending time with me. What could possibly be more important than this right now?" Jack asks
"Why do you still look sober?" Zac calls out randomly as he looks over at me. I look up at Jack before responding, not knowing if I was still not able to talk to him or not. He didn't seem to mind whenever they forced me to do coke. "I'm feeling it a little." I say hones
"Where have you been this whole time?! I've been texting you." Gianna slurs as she slightly hits me on the arm. I laugh out at her current state of drunkness before taking a large swig of my drink. "I'm sorry, Jack has my phone." I explain causing her to shake her head as she l
A small breath of air escapes my lips as I make it safely into the elevator, having my mind take me back to the time I shared with Xion. What does this mean for us? Did he really mean it when he said he loved me because I honestly love him too. An involuntary smile spreads across my fac
I smile at the sight, feeling proud of him for actually getting rid of all of his contraband. “Thank you, Xi” I state, having him turn to face me. ( Again it’s pronounced Z-eye) “Now, it’s your turn to keep our promise.” He says as he takes a few small st
“From now on, you need to stop prying. Don’t dig yourself an even bigger hole because trust me, if anyone involved in this shit saw your face, or knows your name then you are most likely being watched and studied. Which, would explain why you were being followed. I don’t want you to go back to your
I laugh to myself at her dramatic exit before turning my attention back over to Xion. "Sorry if I ruined anything between you two just now." I state insincerely. "It's fine, she'll be back. Besides, that's not what I'm worried about right now." He says as he begin
After driving around for another fifteen minutes I look behind me to notice that the car following me has seemed to have disappeared. Relief washes over me, having me release a sigh of relief as I pull into Xion's apartment complex. I quickly find a parking spot before jogging my way up
Gianna’s P.O.V I slam my car door shut with an angry huff as I bring my key into the ignition. A series of negative thoughts and emotions pour into me as I begin to drive away from Heidi's complex and onto the busy Los Angeles roads toward Xion's apartment. I just can't seem to shake t
“Zac, if you die then who’s going to be the next Don? Don’t let these fuckers take your place.” I call out to him in efforts to keep his mind busy. He groans in response as I feel his arm move against my shoulder in response. I take that as a sign to keep talking as I attempt to regain his wi
Jack’s P.O.V Smoke flies throughout the dark and rotted room as we ascend from the safe, having our vision be momentarily blinded. I quickly turn off my flashlight before switching on the laser sight to my gun as we cautiously go to make our escape. As we maneuver our way througho
"How romantic. " i scoff, rolling my eyes as I shift my weight on my feet. "Elias is a second in command. He's in line to be the next heir of the Lombardi branch of the bloodline. That comes with a lot of protection so we're going to need a lot, and I mean a lot of evidence
