Lena woke up to no one by her side, she and Darian had slept together the night before, but now he was gone. She noticed that he had been acting strangely since she told him she loved him, it'd been days since they celebrated their anniversary and she said the love words, but Darian had changed towards her. Even if he would not admit to it, she knew that he was drifting away. She loved him, that was the truth and she didn't know what else to do or how else to go about it, she loved him.She got out of bed, dragging her feet around the bedroom. She walked out to check if Darian was in his study, but it was empty. She could have scented his cologne if he was around. Lena sighed, walking back to the bedroom, she sighted Tina curled up on one of the couches in the living room. She ambled to the living room to ask if she had seen Darian."Good morning, ma'am." Tina greeted when she spotted Lena."Tina, how are you?" She gave her a small smile."Very well, ma'am. The boss said I should let
"What are you doing here?" Darian clamoured again, fury marring his facial expression. "I have seen the reason I am here." Thelma beamed with a sly smile. "You look great by the way." She said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. That only worsened the anger that was surging through him as he glared at her."You have to leave now." He told her."I just arrived, why would you want me to leave now? I haven't seen you for days, you've not been picking up my calls and—""Jay, leave us," Darian commanded. Jay bowed his head, turning to leave them to talk. As he wandered away from them, he wondered what was happening between them."Darian, I have been calling you for days." She attempted to touch him, but he cringed, and she sneered. "And now you are acting up again, do I disgust you?""Yes, you do! What do you want from me and how did you even know that I'd be here?" He glared at her, his jaw clenching hard. His temples were starting to crease, he was tired of her."Er," Thelma smiled.
Darian lied.He lied to Lena about the reason Thelma was bugging him with calls and texts. He was pleased that she had respected his privacy by not reading his texts, but he was so sad he lied to his wife, and to cover up for this lie, he'd have to lie to her again. He hated that, he wasn't a liar, he was a respectable man who was fearless and could easily look into anyone's eyes to say whatever he wanted to say. But with Lena, he couldn't, he was scared she'd leave him if she found out about him and Thelma.He would have told her what Thelma wanted but he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Telling her would mean telling her about the night he cheated on her too, he couldn't bring himself to do that, at least not now."Will you like to work at the casino again?" He asked Lena as she worked on her computer. She was searching for an online job that could keep her busy while Darian was away from the house.She stopped typing, directing her head to glare at her husband. She was surprised
The members of the Dawson family were gathered around the large table in the almost dark room. It was their monthly meeting and Darian had ordered that they meet up in the secret chambers at Park Avenue to make plans. "We have restocked our warehouse with weapons, we will have something to fall back on whenever there is an attack," Judson said, his eyes dilating the dark room that was illuminated with a very dim light that shone from a tiny bulb. They always had their secret meeting there whenever crucial matters were to be discussed. "How much did we make from selling out guns to other families?" Darian asked the secretary. Adam quickly glanced through the files and looked back at Darian. "Fifty million dollars, boss. We made a lot of money." "Yes, we did. All thanks to Gunther, he works well for us in Dallas." Gaius chirped in, smiling heartily. Daria nodded his head, Gunther was smart, he wouldn't lie about that. He had impressed him since he started working as the boss of the
-"Boss, are you going to meet the invisible man?" Jay asked Darian on their way back to the office. He had been thinking about it since Darian agreed to go and he wondered if he knew the risk of what he was going to do. "I told them I would, I would not back out now. You know, Jay, there are a lot of problems in the family. If I don't tend to them, they will worsen." Darian heaved a sigh."Boss, there is no assurance these people want to make peace. If they do, they won't ask you to come alone. This is very risky for you to do, I am not sure ma'am Lena would agree to this either. What if something happens to you? Who knows if this is a ploy to get you killed?" Jay protested.Darian smiled, he knew Jay was worried about him, but he had his plans."I had my plans before agreeing to go meet him. But I don't want to reveal my plans out there, I do not trust the men in the Dawson family, I know some of them are giving the enemies heads up about our plans, that was why I said nothing in t
"Darian, are you good?" Lena passed him a cup of coffee. She had noticed the nervousness in his expression since she woke up, he had been roaming from the bedroom down to the living room. Sometimes, he drifted off while she was talking to him, it had been that way for days now and he refused to tell her what was going on with him. It bothered her."Yes, I am." He downed the coffee, lowering the cup on the dining table. He stood up and caught Lena's arms. "What makes you think I am not fine?" He asked, kissing her cheeks lightly. He traced his fingers to her belly, and slowly they danced around the shorts she wore. He pulled down the shorts and curved his arms around her waist."Darian," she held tightly onto him, "Tina is at home, your bodyguards can come in anytime. Darian," she cried out when he plunged his finger into her. "Stop," she cautioned, but he didn't listen to her. "Darian," she moaned into his ears as he stroked her clitoris. Gasping, she shut her eyes and let him work on
Readers' discretion is advised.Darian arrived alone at the location that was sent to him by the invisible man. The whole vicinity was serene, the surroundings looked like an abandoned house, and the building was void of any properties. He parked his car somewhere he could easily pull off whenever he wanted to leave the place. He clipped the listening bug to his shirt and wore a blazer over it, he spoke into the bug to instruct Jay to stay alert should he call for help.His eyes flickered around the building, he nodded his head, slipped his gun into the back of his pockets and strode in like he owned the place. A hefty man dressed in all black ushered him into the deserted building, Darian took the way he led until they finally arrived in a room. The man turned back, leaving Darian alone in the room.Darian squinted his eyes in befuddlement. Though his heart was beating loudly, he tried to suppress the rate and stay calm. He held his head high and his eyes met with a masked man, he
Darian didn't make a move, he smiled as the men approached him. He halted them by raising his hands, he turned back to the masked man and said. "You will spare my life if you truly loved my mother.""No! I want to kill you because knowing that you are alive reminds me of her! Do you know how miserable I was when she rejected me to be with your father? I couldn't even love any other woman because I loved her too much. I hate to know that she had Raymond's son instead of mine! I will kill you, Darian! I will! Tie him up." He commanded again in an angry tone."This doesn't make any sense to me," Darian chuckled. "You are killing people because of a mere woman?""Isabella wasn't a mere woman, you punk! She was my whole life! You will never know this because you are just as heartless as your father and you don't know what it means to love a woman."Darian felt the pain in his voice as he spoke to him. He heaved a sigh and said. "My mother is not dead, invisible man. She's very much alive!"
