The room was silent for a moment as the table was now set for another guest. Dan sat on the end of the table far from the door, just sipping his drink and staring viciously at Christavo as he walked in. This wasn’t the ideal situation. He hated involving the police since Chris could have them all by the balls pulling them along. But he was outvoted and just sat down exhausted as he planned his next move.
However, just because he chose to go about his own path, didn’t mean he wouldn’t stay to see where their path would lead them. He had to stay involved as much as possible to counteract their moves when he was ready to make his moves. It was a power play that both Sanders brothers had in common.
“This is a lovely penthouse.” Christavo greeted Janet as she walked him in. It was clear he was flirting with her causing Janet to become a bit uncomfortable knowing Antonio was in the room. But she invited him to sit and grab a
Chapter 20That night while Janet washed the dishes and put food away, Julissa stayed behind to help her. Alyssa walked up to join the ladies and help them clean the kitchen. Tension was still high, but for now, they weren’t arrested and could fight another day, looking over their shoulders, but still, it was a chance.“It feels kind of weird seeing you both get along, but it makes me rethink everything I thought about you, Julissa,” Alyssa said. “I’m sorry about your dad, by the way. Seeing that…knowing that…”“It’s fine,” Julissa replied, softly. “Families sometimes are the people that hurt you the most, right?” Janet and Alyssa could agree to that. “My father kidnapped me and tried to kill my unborn child due to his hate. I wanted to kill him myself, but yet my heart is so torn because I miss him. A part of me wishes that I could take it all back, that I never got involved
Chapter 21“Oh fuck!” The woman smashed between the headboard and Dan screamed out as he thrust forward, her hands holding his arms as he had them on the side of his face. A loud slap resonated throughout the room as Dan softly grunted, surging his hips forward, burying himself deep into the confines of her pussy.“Fuck…fuck…”Dan smirked and threw her down on the bed, twirling her forcefully as she gasped. He was on her the next second, grabbing her hips lifting them so that her ass was in the air. He licked his fingers and placed them in the woman’s ass causing her to moan out loud, and squirm at the quickness of his fingers. When it sounded as if she was ready to orgasm, Dan removed his fingers and replaced them with his penis. He pressed hard into her asshole, groaning as he did so.The woman grabbed onto the sheets barely able to catch her breath as Dan roughly thrust in and out of her as if he was trying
Chapter 22 The next morning, as she tried not to contemplate on the upcoming danger, Janet decided it was best she head to her doctor to see for sure if she was, indeed, carrying Antonio’s baby. A bit nervous, she knocked on the door to her guest room for Alyssa. Jayceon ran up to her and she picked him up tickling his side as he laughed out. “You both need me to go?” Jason asked, concerned. “No. We will call when we return, but my sister-in-law and I need some alone time. We will be back soon.” Janet expressed, grabbing Alyssa’s shoulders. “Are we really doing a spa day?” Alyssa asked once in the car. “Because I’m not even buying it and I know your brother isn’t.”
Chapter 23 The beating on the door angered Dan so much until he could do nothing else but yank it open ready to scream at whoever until he saw the look on his son’s face and then down to his grandson. “Jason, what the hell are you doing here?” “I saw him.” He replied, walking into the house with Jayceon. “I saw your fucking brother.” He began to ramble as he rolled Jayceon inside, pacing the floor. “He’s a real piece of shit…looks just like you…split fucking image…” Dan held his shoulder nearly shaking him out of his hysteria as Jason ran shaky hands through his hair. “What did Chris say to you? Did he hurt you? Where did you see him?” A thousand questions came out of Dan’s
Chapter 24Christavo followed up on the Sanders group accusations. In his mind he couldn’t believe them, what they were asking him to do, the things they expected him to do. This was the very reason he was here. Fairchild fell into their web of sins and got bitten by the spider. He placed his hands over his face as he watched the video Antonio delivered to his office.It was obvious The Strangler was choking Janet as she was about to perform sexual activities with him. It made Christavo secretly hot as he pulled at the collar of his shirt. Luckily, no one else was in the office with him. His eyes looked around him as he sat in Fairchild’s disheveled office on her computer. It seemed Julissa was telling the truth unless the video was altered in some way.His eyes looked down to the written location now pondering if he should follow up on the death of Gerald Saulsberry. If what they were saying was true, then Chris Sanders, freshly out of jail, was t
Chapter 25The knock-on Michael’s door was shockingly surprising to Antonio. He brought him good news, but it had been so long and so much had happened. He knew his friend would have questions. Christavo made it clear that now with Fairchild gone, he could come back. But Michael is going to wonder why he couldn’t. The last thing he wanted to do was give too much away that now his friend would be back involved in the Sanders bullshit.Surprisingly, a light-skinned woman with long curly hair and bright brown eyes answered the door, holding a crutch and arguing with someone in the background. “I said I got it!” She yelled out, looking at Antonio. She gave a small smile as she tried to recognize him. “Can I help you?”Antonio just stared at her eyes wide and his mouth partly opened as he gulped, shocked and overwhelmed. “Diamond?”She looked confused. “Yeah, that’s me. Are you the new therapist or
Chapter 26Christavo walked into the office. An officer immediately walked up to him with a photo. “Analysis of the tire tracks say the car has to be some exotic sports car. New, specially made Michelin tires made for the Bugatti Chiron—only tire made for that model car.”“Wow, that’s great work. Do we have the purchaser's name or anything?” Christavo asked, looking at the picture of the car. She handed him another folder. The name of the purchaser was Damien Withers. Christavo looked confused, expecting the name to read Chris Sanders. “Who is this kid?”The officer shrugged. “Some young kid apparently into cars. He entered into a car show coming up in a couple of days. We ran his background and he doesn’t have much on his record. His parents seem to be anonymous. We have to do some more research on that, but he was just an orphan, out of state. We do have the last address he got the ti
Chapter 27Jason saw his twin try and look happy about this date with Antonio. She dressed up not wanting the pending danger to stop her from what was important. The explosion had her shaken up which caused the need to tell Antonio the truth. Her hand was placed over her stomach as she looked at him while she gathered items.“Wow! Someone is ready for her date. Look at you.” Jason complimented, trying to cheer her up. Jayceon walked over to her wanting to be picked up by his aunt. She obliged him and kissed his cheeks, wiping off the smear marks afterward.“Well, thank you both. I wanted to dress up to tell Antonio the news.” She placed Jayceon back down. “I’m sure Alyssa told you.”Jason smiled, knowing she did already. Out of pure excitement, she couldn’t help but tell her husband which Janet was completely okay with. She knew her brother wouldn’t tell anyone else. “She did tel
One Year LaterJason fixed Damien’s tie as he prepared for his first day on the job as the Sex Doctor. His hair was cut into a tapered style, head full of curly hair spilling over his face with a fresh fade on the sides. He fidgeted a lot as Jason helped him dress.“Nervous?” Jason asked but already knew the answer.“What if I can’t do this? What if I screw up?” Damien asked, doubting himself and ready to pull the suit off.“Do you want to do this, Damien?” Jason asked picking up his suit jacket.Damien sighed then as he swallowed a huge gulp of spit. “Yes,” he said determinedly.“Then, you have everything at your disposal for you to do so. I showed and taught you everything I know to prepare you for this business side of things. All you have to do is charm your clients.” Jason encouraged.The door opened then as Damien looked at himself in the mirror. “Oo
Chapter 50 Antonio took a deep breath as he entered the nursing home he dreaded all his life. A hand touched his right shoulder and then another soft hand grabbed his rough one. Both Julissa and Janet were there to comfort him in this time where everything seemed so uncertain. It had been years since he even spoke to his mother, far too afraid of the outcome. They all waited in the guest room, holding their breath as the nurse went out of the room to escort his mother to them. Antonio fixed his collar as he cleared his throat. A beautiful, Latin woman came into the room looking sad at first, but her eyes lit up once she saw her son. “Antonio?” “Hi, mother!” Antonio stood up as Julissa and Janet helped him go to he
Chapter 49Dan returned home to see his boys at the dining table, one drinking the other not, waiting for his return. After a quick shower and advising them to do the same to wash away the grime and blood and guilt, they sat back at the table, Jason in some of his old clothes and Damien fitting something old of Dan’s. They all looked exhausted.“I’m proud of you boys,” Dan said, taking a shot of his drink. “I couldn’t have asked for better sons, despite everything. I know you all will carry the Sanders legacy on. Which is why I have some things brewing. But since Ross is gone, I will have to find a new lawyer.” He paused looking at Damien. “I want us to get your name changed to Sanders, Damien. You’re part of the family now.”“No offense, but my name is all I have left of my mother. No thanks to you and Chris.” Damien argued back.Dan only nodded, understanding. “You are part
Chapter 48The quiet, eerie police station after dark only had a few officers there on duty during this shift. The rest went out on patrol which would, thankfully, give Antonio enough space to do what he needed to do, as quickly and efficiently as possible. There was a cold suspicion that Haynes was there. Of course, he would be to handle all of Chris’s needs; hopefully, it would lead Antonio right to him. Now Christopher Sanders was on everyone’s hit list.His key still worked for the back door as he tried to go to the evidence room without being caught or making too much noise. If things were filed correctly, Christavo’s gun would’ve been placed with the rest of the things on his person. He rested his hands on his hips as he walked forward, taking every breath with a step. His eyes glanced around the low-lit room searching each shelf for the gun.The door then opened to the police station causing Antonio to hide in between shelves, sq
Chapter 47 The smell that hit their noses once they opened the door was something all the men couldn’t deny would be embedded in their memory for all time. Dan had seen dead bodies, dealt with them, but the amount of stink in his home would never seem to clean itself after Eric Ross's dead body laid in his living room. Damien started to gag and hold the door frame for fresh air as Jason just covered his nose, closing his eyes as well. “Is he supposed to smell like that?” Jason asked, turning his head. “Ross had always been a smelly fellow. Go get the bleach and towels out the kitchen.” Dan commanded as he inched closer to the hallway to grab some gloves. “Here.” He handed some to Damien as he covered his nose and mouth with his arm. 
Chapter 46 Jason immediately lowered Dan’s gun down to invite him in. “Damien?” He wrapped his arms around his little brother, surprised to see him, but more so now that they had all the pieces together could welcome him with open arms. Janet walked over to him as well hugging him to Damien’s surprise. The sibling’s embrace was rather heartwarming as Damien didn’t know what to do with the affection. “What happened, Damien? Have you taken your old man’s advice?” Dan asked, folding his arms as Damien pulled away from the twins. “I read the letters, but it still doesn’t mean I trust you. Chris has been…he didn’t come back from the hotel and neither did your lawyer. Did you murder them?” Damien asked outright to Dan.
Chapter 45Dan turned back to Alyssa, surprisingly, holding his gun, saving his ass. He smirked before she held the railing remembering the pain in his side from the knife. Alyssa ran over to him to check on him. She looked concerned at the sight of blood and started to panic.“I’ll go get help…” She was just about to get up until Dan grabbed her arm with his bloody hand that covered his stab wound. Alyssa turned back to Dan concerned.“Thank You.” He said, holding her arm tight. “I was wrong about you, Alyssa. You definitely belong in this family.”“Dan!” Jason yelled as he ran up to check on him. He placed his arms around him to help Dan move to get him help from a nurse as Alyssa followed. Once stitched and saved, Janet walked in with Jayceon on her hip as Alyssa immediately reached for him, worried for her son. He was stashed inside the elevator with a nurse while the action happened. Jaso
Chapter 44Chris walked casually as if he wasn’t a wanted fugitive up to the floor where Antonio was. His rage fueled his mission. The humiliating way Dan spoke about his mother and their sister, made Chris want to lash out. Janet and Jason wouldn’t listen to him and it was clear enough he was losing Damien. He refused to let Daniel beat him at his own game.The hospital floor was barely lit as the elevator door opened. There was barely anyone on the entire floor, which would be perfect but also didn’t sit right with him. He walked along the wall cautiously, hands reaching in the back of his jeans for his hand-tailored knife. He paused peaking around the corner as he noticed Janet walking out of the room on her phone.He was definitely in the right place. The only person he truly worried about was Dan. He was the only one he knew that could take him down. Several guards walked away on Janet’s command, which Chris found od
Chapter 43Dan walked into the Sanders building with a basket of fruit and a stroller full of toys as he looked to Janet and Julissa there, Jason and Alyssa with his grandson. Antonio, luckily, made a full recovery and they were all heading back to the hospital as soon as they changed and got some food in them. “I’ve come bearing gifts.”“Well, well, well, Dan Sanders trying to be a good father. Hell is about to freeze over.” Julissa teased as she took a grape from the basket.“I may have come to realize I have been preparing my children for the real world a bit too harshly. I want a new start with my grandkids, including Jayceon. I can take him off your hands for a couple of hours while you guys…” His hands swirled in the air looking for the correct word to use, “…handle business for today.” He saw the look Jason gave Alyssa with doubt. “I will only go home and try to fig
