The Ganglord’s Girl 52: Devastating
“Where are we going?" I ask, putting on my seat belt.He grips the steering wheel and shakes his head. "Where do you want to go? The only place left for you to go to is the bus station. If you want, I'll take you to the airport. Do I have to emphasize that you're in danger? That you're this close," he illustrates by keeping a tiny space between his thumb and forefinger, "to fucking all this up? Do you have a death wish?"He's dodging me, I can sense it. "How does Sebastian know who I am, Devon? And why does he think I'm on Damien's side?"He throws his head back so it's touching the head rest and breathes in deeply. He pinches the bridge of his nose and with his free hand, reaches into the inside of his coat for a pack of cigarettes. I reach for my own. If I don't smoke one, I feel like I'll fall apart.He lights his, then frowns when he looks at me. "When did you start smoking?""You're purposefully dodging my question. You're hiding something, aren't you? Dammit, just tell me, Devon
The Ganglord’s Girl 53: War

And when he wants a woman, there's very little that can stop him from having her.However, he is aware of the possible complications.

The Ganglord’s Girl 54: No Choice
I'm staying with Devon temporarily.There's no way I'm going back to that apartment when Sebastian Brown knows where I live. Apparently, he's Trevor's cousin. Was. He's their father's part of the family, but his father was never involved in his brother's illicit affairs. Devon explained it all to me. That's how he fits in all of this. When Damien ambushed the Brown residence, the whole family was gathered. His father wasn't there, but his mother was. They were celebrating a cousin's birthday party when Damien and his gang attacked. They killed everyone above the age of 18, but left the younger ones. Sebastian was amongst them. He was around 17. All because Aaron killed Damien's father. Aaron. My brother.And when Damien finally found him, he sent someone to kill him. That's what happened four years ago.

The Ganglord’s Girl 56: Inebriated

Why do I keep getting myself in trouble? I was trying to get out of one, but I'm entangled in a much bigger web of lies.And I can't even leave.I'm seriously considering disappearing without a word. What will I say to Damien in a week's time? That is, if I even have a week left. I didn't take the bus home like Sebastian wanted me to.

The Ganglord’s Girl 57: Bad Decision
I pull away. His lips are plump and red, moist.My head is spinning. Is this really happening again? Where's my common sense? I should've stopped this when I had the chance. "Mr. Keller—"I'm walking backwards until my ass hits his desk. He's right in front of me. His hands are on my waist and his nose is buried in my neck. "What were you trying to do earlier? Are you deliberately provoking me, Yara?"Fuck. I don't know what he means. "What?""You wanted me to ask you to stay, didn't you?" He forces me to meet his eyes. His pupils are dilated. He looks like a lustful beast. "Answer me, Yara."I nod, even though this is the exact opposite of what I wanted. I'm just going to agree with him on everything. "Yes."He grabs the backs of my thighs and lifts me so I'm sitting on his desk. He's rough, and I didn't even know I was into being rough until now. "You're driving me crazy, do you know that? I don't know what your deal is. Are you a good girl or a bad one?"He doesn't let me answer hi
The Ganglord’s Girl 58: Disappointment
I use the spare key Devon gave me to get inside.I can't believe that happened. I feel like I just stepped out of some kind of nightmare. I had sex with Damien Keller, right over his desk. God, this has taken a turn for the worse. Before it happened, I thought I had lost control. It's nothing compared to how I feel now.What was I thinking? I'm convinced that if I hadn't had that wine earlier, none of this would have happened. I clearly wasn't sober, but I wasn't that drunk. I knew exactly what I was doing, and I enjoyed every miserable second of it. I wanted it, fully aware of who he is, what he does. That he'd have me killed if he ever discovered my true motives for wanting to work for him.I'm relieved that Devon isn't here to see me in this disgraceful state. I don't know how I would react if I came face-to-face with him right now. I run straight to my bedroom and put my bag down. I thread my fingers through my hair and take a deep breath. First things first, I have to clean up. M

"Tell me what I want to hear. I've had a long fucking day. Are you on your way home?""I knew you were alive, motherfucker."Devon nearly drops his phone. He would recognize Aaron's anywhere. Even in hell. He contemplates switching the phone off, but that won't change anything. Aaron has already heard his voice, and if he has Amelia's cellphone, that means he either met her in the streets or he was at the apartment. "When did you get out? I was under the impression that you still had about twenty years to go."He knows exactly why he's out, which is partly why he wanted Amelia to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want Aaron to find her here, but it's too late now. Also, he wasn't expecting him to find out he was alive.Aaron says, "You son of a bitch. You were using her. You lied to her this entire time. You
