The Ganglord’s Girl 157: Plans
Damien hears the door to the apartment open.He doesn't need to look to know it's Ethan. It's six in the morning. He hasn't had any sleep. He was up all night worrying about Amelia. He couldn't bear the thought that she might be hurt somewhere.He's also worried about Brad.The mansion was searched and thankfully, their bodies weren't found, which can only mean that she went for him and that they're together. That's the only good news he's received in the last forty-eight hours. But there are complications along with that. He doesn't know if the men who attacked him took her and Brad. If by some miracle she managed to escape, she should've been found by now. He knows that's unlikely, simply because he knows that the chances of her leaving the area without being detected is slim.When his men managed to get him and Theo away from the action, he refused to leave without Amelia. But they'd searched everywhere for her and they hadn't found her. By then, most of Eduardo's men were dead and
The Ganglord’s Girl 158: Diabolical
Amelia's in this building. He's sure of it. He saw those men drag her inside along with the kid and she hasn't come back out ever since.He's been watching for hours. It's almost daybreak and he's still here, glued to his car seat and waiting for God knows what. He needs a strong drink, but he'll worry about that later.The men came out approximately two minutes after taking her inside. They didn't stay long. She wasn't with them, and because of that, he didn't feel the need to follow them. He'd know where the fuck they came from, but leaving her here wasn't part of his plan. This area isn't the worst in the city, which makes him wonder why they brought her here. Is she in one of those apartments right now? He imagines her gagged and tied in a dark room, desperate, and it fills him with dread.He doesn't know what he's waiting for.He can't hang around here forever. He's got to be in the office in an hour, but what about Amelia? Will he just leave her here. He doesn't even know what's
The Ganglord’s Girl 159: Insensitive
I've been having a hard time with Brad.At first, I thought he was unusually calm for a boy who just found out his mother had died. It was unnatural, and deep down I hoped that he'd react more. Cry, anything. Because in that way, I'd know that he understood the gravity of the situation, and he'd heal over time.But this.He's been screaming non-stop in his sleep. It's heartbreaking. This happens whenever he closes his eyes. If he goes to sleep, he'll be screaming in the next thirty minutes. I'll wake him up and he'll stiffly lie on my lap for a while, trying to catch his breath. The bedsheets are soaked with his sweat, and Theo had some men bring tons and tons of clothes for him.Yes, we've come to an agreement on one thing; we're both looking out for Brad. There's not much she can do since she's in a cast, but she helps in every way she can. He wakes up terrified, with bulging eyes and a shaking frame. I'm desperate. I don't know what to do, and I'm worried that it'll have an impact
The Ganglord’s Girl 160: Plotting

She'll be representing Eduardo, which is the only reason why they're waiting. It's stuffy in here and he can't fucking breathe. He has another sip of his drink and put the glass down on the table. Everyone's giving him a weird look and it isn't hard to imagine why; they don't know him. They've never heard of him. If Elizabeth hadn't vouched for him, he'd be dead. He's had enough of this, he wants his freedom back. If Amelia will have to pay the price for that, then so be it. He's done protecting her. Let Damien protect her, if he's man enough.Sebastian Brown hasn't taken his eyes off him since he arrived. Devon can't help but wonder why. They've never met before. Devon knows all abou
The Ganglord’s Girl 161: Driving Force
"You went to see her, didn't you?"That's the first thing Ethan says to him when he walks inside the small apartment. He briefly wonders if Theo ran her mouth, but he doubts that. She wouldn't want them to get into another disagreement. He's just guessing."No," he says. "I wouldn't dream of doing that. Safety first, isn't that what we agreed upon?"He shakes his head. "You're full of shit. Fine, I'll act like I believe you. It'll spare me from having a fucking heart attack. You're an adult, you know the risks. If anything happens, it's on you.""Nothing is going to happen," he assures him. "I've got this under control. Besides, in a few days this will all be over. When we kill Eduardo, they'll abandon their ridiculous plan of wanting to get us killed. We'll get Sebastian after we're done with Eduardo.""Don't count on it too much," Ethan says, lighting a cigarette. "I know how you are. You get overly confident and then the worst happens."Damien watches him as he lights a cigarette o
The Ganglord’s Girl 162: Naive
It's been two days since I last saw Damien.It's strange how weird it feels to be apart from him. I've never felt his absence before, not like this. Something has changed, especially in the way I feel about him. I miss him. I woke up today and couldn't stop thinking about him, from the day we first met to the last time we saw each other, which was right in this living room. I can't stop fantasizing about his kisses and his magical touch, the way I melt when he's near. I can't breathe when he's around. A powerful emotion takes hold of me and only releases me when he's gone.I wonder if he thinks about me like this, too.I wonder if he feels the same way I do.I don't know why I'm thinking this way. Maybe it has to do with the dream I had last night. He was in my room. I couldn't see him, but I knew it was him. I felt his hands on my body, undressing me. He closed his mouth around my nipple and sucked gently in the way he always does. I kissed him with want and need, and an ardor that b
The Ganglord’s Girl 163: Flames
Earlier that day...Devon pops the suitcase open and stares at the stacks and stacks of cash.Fuck. This is what he's been waiting for his whole life. He always had a feeling that he'd put his hands on money like this. He's suffered enough. He can't believe he nearly passed this opportunity up simply because he was trying to the nice guy. Being nice never got anyone anything, that's for sure. He's got the proof of that now."Is it all there?" Elizabeth asks.He's not going to count in front of her. He'll never finish in time. If there's anything missing, he's going to let her know when he'll receive the other half of the payment. "It's good for now."She glances at the paper in her hand, where he wrote down the address to the building. "You're sure about this, aren't you? You wouldn't lie to us.""They're there. I'm sure Theodora is hiding in there, too. He wouldn't separate them. Trust me, I know how his mind works by now." He practically lived in his ass during this past year, tryin
