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!"
With bleary eyes, Harrison wobbled towards the foyer. He wasn't the kind of guy to sulk, but it was hard to watch his boss in that state and thoughts that he wouldn't make it alive scared him, causing his heart to shatter into shreds. He held the flowers firmly with his hands as he walked into the living room.Lena was dozing off on the couch, the television was on and loud. He walked in with quiet strides, lowering the volume of the television. Lena opened her eyes when the sound was low, she looked up to see Harrison towering over her."Harrison," she called, letting out a soft yawn."Good evening, ma'am." He forced a smile, but it faltered before it reached his eyes. He extended the flowers to Lena, bending his head to avoid her eyes.Lena got up, wondering if Harrison was trying to profess love to her. Did he forget that she wasn't Lisa and she was his boss's wife? She thought. "What's this?" She queried, moving her hand all over the bouquet in Harrison's hands."From the boss, he
"You can't see him now. He lost so much blood, but we were able to stop the bleeding before it got worse." The red-headed Doctor said to Lena and Jay as they walked down the hallway. "Please Doctor, can I at least see his face?" Lena begged, clutching the Doctor's lab coat. She looked over to Jay with pitiful eyes like she was signalling for him to tell the Doctor to let her see her husband.Jay took her hand and heaved a long sigh. He knew what Lena was trying to do, but he had no say there."I am sorry, ma'am. But you can't go into the ward with me." The Doctor patted Lena's back, hurrying back into the emergency ward. He had rushed out to attend to Lena when she didn't stop banging on the door of the room Darian was receiving treatments."Please, calm down," Jay said."I can't keep calm, Jay. Don't you get it? Darian is in there, I have no idea what's going on with him. I can't stay here doing nothing, I have to be with him in there, please help me." She stomped her feet on the fl
