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.

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
The Ganglord’s Girl 164: Losers

The Ganglord’s Girl 165: Stairs
Everything happens so quickly.All I can think when those men break into the apartment is not again. I'm getting flashbacks of when this happened at the mansion and I enter panic mode. Every muscle in my body refuses to cooperate and as a result, I'm glued to this fucking couch.Not even the thought of Brad gets me moving.They grab Theo first. She's struggling and screaming at the top of her lungs, swinging her fists and trying to defend herself in every way, but there's only so much she could do with her leg in a cast and that wheelchair. There are too many men to count in this small living room, and when I finally gather the strength to run, I'm being grabbed by two men and forced down on the couch. To my dismay, they close the door to the apartment.Theo spits at the man in front of her."Look for the kid," a feminine voice says.

The Ganglord’s Girl 166: Loss
It feels like she's been in there for hours.It can't have been that long, though. Maybe forty minutes. He wants a cigarette, but he knows that this isn't the place to break the rules. If he gets kicked out, he won't get to see her and that can't happen.Theo was shaking when he arrived. Brad was sitting on her lap, just staring at the wall. She shook her head as he approached her. He stopped right in the middle of the corridor. What's that supposed to mean?"We don't have any news yet," she said."All we know is she's alive," Ethan adds.Alive? So there was the possibility of her being dead? He wasn't told that over the phone. Were they trying to spare him, is that why he wasn't told this? He didn't have the strength to confront them. He just took a seat beside her and held his fucking breath.They've been quiet, no one has said another word. He can't even bring himself to think about the shit Elizabeth did. He's just concerned about her well-being. If he's given bad news, he doesn't
