I walked over to Archer and who grabbed my wrist and hurried me to them. "I am late, so what? Not like this part is even popping." I released myself from his hold. "Well is he here or what?" I asked. I looked over to Aiden who was looking really hot right now. I think he caught me staring but whatever. I like the view. "Come dance with me. There is one thing that Jace hates more than me. Is beautiful women with me." I look at him in disgust. "Oh don't give me that look, it's just a dance," He said. "Yeah, well I hate dancing. And it's with you, my cousin. Gross." He rolled his eyes at me before he grabbed my hand and walked me upstairs to the VIP where it was more my taste. He walked me to the dance floor and slowly started rocking me. His ear was next to mine and he just kept whispering. "You have a tendency of fucking things up. Don't fuck this one up." I made eye contact with him and sent a death look at him. "You called me. Don't tell
Jace and I were inches from each other's faces. I wasn't just anyone or another face in the crowd. I had connections that ran so deep that proved I didn't need a man to make a name for myself and I am okay with that. "So you? Are just another random guy. Me? Yeah, I have baggage. So I ask you again what about you makes you worth my time and yes I am a diva and materialist and I am not sorry about that." You could see that vein in his head that was inching out. It was quiet for a few minutes before his head met my back of my neck and he pushed me against the glass window. His lips are next to my ear. Below there were people staring up and even Aiden who looked concerned. But it didn't face me one bit. "I am not as nice as you think I am. If you tried telling someone I promise you that they wouldn't believe you." It's like something in me was concerned but also entertained. I turned myself around and smiled in his face. "What you said makes
The next day, I had to go meet my realtor to sign for my new Vegas villa. I waited outside in the driveway for her to show up. But this time I was doing some digging. "Hey, you remember that time I gave you the best night of your life and was the reason for your divorce? Yeah, well I am going to need you for something even though I've ruined most things for you." I listened to his sighing and giving me a lecture. I hate them. "Okay, I am coming over later. I can be clothed or not clothed. You tell me." The phone went silent but I quickly ended it when Marla came over. "Hey, so we have a long day. But are you pulling out a mortgage and if so I need that info." I looked at her with the stupidest look I could give. "I am paying cash." I walked over to my car and took out a duffle bag full of money. She looked at me like she was surprised. The owners stepped outside and their eyes were big. "Hi, you must be the person buying our home." I look
"I am not that type of guy, and I just want you thinking this will turn into something it could never be." He really must want to get his feelings hurt, I guess. "Alright, let's have this talk then. I have not been in a relationship in years. I've loved one, but it was all based on lies and deception on my part. I had to change everything about my looks because I am trouble and all I do is lie, cheat, and steal everything. My Dad always told me everything I touch turns to ashes. So it's not me you have to ever worry about, it's you. I am not good for you and for anyone for that fact. You're a great time and it looks like you're too involved so let's end this here before you're in too deep. Understood?" He was so stunned that he couldn't even process. I mean what did he expect? I would tell him that we were meant to be and blah blah blah. "Stop thinking that I am fragile and you leaving would make me cry. Because I'll have another one of y
“Did you forget your manners?” He lifted my chin up and I was now eye to eye with him. “You’re trying to tell me what to do in my own house?” I bit my lip which seemed to get a rise out of him. “Go walk her to her car.” A small smirk was shown on his lips. He stepped back before he walked out the door. I waited a few seconds before I heard him hit the stairs. I reached in my bra and pulled out the USB that I was hiding. I quickly went over to the computer he never locked and plugged it in. Doing some quick coding the files started to upload and of course, they were taking forever. Watching the numbers slowly go up. But the front door shut and I knew I had only 45 seconds before he got here. Shit. I quickly pulled it out at the last second and the door opened. “What are you doing?” I was behind his desk and quickly went back to the reports that were up. My heart was pounding knowing I was about to g
We laid there just catching our breath. “Son of a bitch Sugar, you really have no red light do you?” I turned my head sideways to look at him and just smirked. This was going to be the beginning of him being completely whooped. “I can be everything and anything you need.” I rested my hand on his cheek and leaned in for a soft kiss. Before I lifted myself up to search for my clothes. “Where are you going?” He asked while sitting up. “It’s too early for a sleepover and I need to get home. He reached for my arm and pulled me back into the bed. “Then I am not done if it means you are leaving.” But in reality, I was pretty tired and sore and didn’t want to continue. “Okay, I will stay. But no more sex because I am tired.” He rested his back with a sigh in agreement. “Bring me a towel though, I need to shower in some cold water.” He nodded and I found my way into the s
Beep... Beep... Beep... "We need to get her into the O.R, she is losing a lot of blood." Beep Beep Beep Beep... "She is going into V-Tach, Push one of Epi... Clear." "No change." My mind wasn't thinking clearly. My body was giving up on me. "No rhythm, push another Epi. Charge to 200. Clear." The pressure on my body. "She is back, let's get her into the O.R" When you're so close to death you start thinking of all the reasons you had gotten here to this point. Where someone so close tries to kill you. I was moved to an operating table before they put me out to sleep. I know I've done a lot of bad in this world but did I deserve this? Probably. If I make it, will It happen again? Most definitely. But if we go back to the beginning, I was surprised I kept surviving. My Nine lives were coming up. 5 YEARS AGO.. As a woman, people have cert
I took back my drink and slid it to Ryan. I laid a 50 on the table."Why do you keep asking questions, huh?" I asked him. He took a sip of his beer and reverted back to me. "The owner is a friend of mine." I was getting tired of this small talk. "I don't own smaller bills, so keep the change." I grabbed my jacket and my purse ready to make my exit. "I didn't get your name." The random man had said. "I didn't give you it, but we all know you're not going to remember it in the morning so let's cut the chit chat. Grab your car, my place, no talking." I responded before I left. I think he was more surprised than anything. "I didn't even have to try so hard," Aiden responded to Ryan. "No man, you just got Sugared." Catch em, snatch them, destroy them. That is what I live by here. By the time we got into my hotel our lips were connected and I was stripping his clothes right off of him. "Straight to the point, I like it." He whispered in between breaths. "What did I say about small talk? If
"I am always careful. This is my life and I do what I need to to get paid and that's it. Just let me do what I came for and then I'll be on my way." She gave me another hug before I walked out that door and went outside where Charlie was holding the door for me again. "Archer's bar, and then you can take off. I will have him take me home." He nodded and shut my door behind me. I know they are worried and they had that right, but I also had the right to do whatever I wanted. I was young and I was beautiful and that's exactly what I had to do in order for men to melt into my hands. That's exactly what I was called for. My door opened up and here we were in front of Medusa's. The last time I was here was when I frantically grabbed what I could and left to never be seen again. Yet here I was again. But money talks and that's my only reason. For my entire family, money talks. We do what we have to keep our head above water while standing on ou

But like everything, it crashes and it burns. I let myself get vulnerable before and it made me have to leave town. I was just a college student trying to be different. This is the life that I never wanted. But when my father told me to jump. I jumped. "Sugar, how could you do this to me?" Jake's face was hurt. All he wanted was to marry me but I took him down and his father. "I am telling you now so you can get on top of it. I love you too much to watch you go down for my actions." He threw his hands in the air." The betrayal that was on his face. "My own father. You were sleeping with my father then coming home to me?" But he turned around and you can hear the crack in his voice right before he told me to leave and to never come back. That was the day I ran as far as I could and changed my entire look. Morning came and he was still here which makes me uncomfortable. I don't like stayovers. That's how attachments happen. I showered and g
I laid on the bed laying bare, while Aiden was buttoning his pants. "You really do have a long stamina. It's hard to keep up." I just laughed at it. I mean I did, but I am not much of a bragger. "I am not going to be around very long, so it's not bad to have fun." I rolled over on my back and was staring up at him. His eyes scanned my bare body and he had that look like he was about to just strip again. "You know, I really didn't recognize you. You basically disappeared so young. Where did you go? And why do they call you Sugar?" I looked at him and that was the darndest thing. As a person who deceives and gets deceived, I learned that sometimes your secret isn't even safe with you. But I didn't know so I told myself. "That's my name. And my father took me back to England. I came back for college here and then I disappeared again." He was still looking at me curiously. "You're telling me that your father all of sudden named you Sugar?" Do
"Jace Ackers, you say? Never heard of him so he must not be important." A small laugh escaped my lips. Aiden gave us a shot that I gladly took back and so did Archer and him. "Now he is some hotshot guy who thinks the world revolves around him. Adopted. Trust fund kid kinda like you. But he is also smart. You slip up you will find yourself behind bars." I couldn't help but laugh. Mainly for the fact that I've gotten out of jail so many times with a squeaky clean record. "Okay, well I need the facts. I need to know where he lives, where he eats, who he is seeing. Also, you didn't give me full details and I already know exactly what you need from me. So your bill just went up. Especially if he is ugly, I may just use your friend to wipe some images clean." I grabbed my purse and straightened out my skirt. "I don't know if I am offended or okay with that comment. I feel like you need to elaborate with that backhanded information." Aiden had
