"Bring your entire workforce; we are going to need it. Infiltrate some positions, waiters, critics, I don't care how you do it, but get us some men on the floor. If this thing doesn't pan out it is going to turn into a bloodbath." My fists form around the steering wheel. I am not storming in guns blazing and bomb exploding, I will try to do this like gentleman, but a man can dream right."Do you want to start a war? We have not established our feet in New York yet. They will wipe the floor with us." Achille seems worried, but I was in a mood for a fight. "They don't know that." I bark swiping across the large screen in the centre of the dash until the blue marker falls on Angela's name. I press onto the call button letting Achille inform her about the night's arrangements, which she happily accepts and even sound a little excited about."So now what brother?" He questions after setting up all the arrangements with Angela and ending the call. Achille never spooked easily, but this whol

If ever I or anyone for that matter doubted that I had a heart it was to be proven now at this very moment, because I could verbatim feel my heart crack the moment my eyes fell on Mia who sat on the chair next to the bed where I spent the last two weeks. Her head hung low and the curls that used to bounce around her head hung with the same desertedness. She was dressed in some scrubs that I guess someone from the hospital provided her with and her feet bare. I can't believe that it was so long since the last time I held her in my arms, I can still remember her sort skin and the sweet minty smell she always carry on her breath. If ever I wondered how I felt about her this moment right here locks it in. This is the woman I love and I want her to be part of my life forever. I will never ever let anything separate us ever again, even if I had to pay with my life for it. She was seated on the chair next to the hospital bed with her back towards the door, enabling her to see me as I stood at

After Sophia did a thorough inspection of Mia who perceptibly insisted on taken a shower first, confirmed that she was only a little dehydrated and gave her a sleeping tablet for apprehension and some ibuprofen to minimize the pain in her ribs where some bruises were still visible, which of course Mia insisted was not painful at all, but flinched a little when touched. Luckily she didn't have any severe or lasting damage, and no one drugged or raped her and to hear her say those words to Sophia was a blessing to my ears, but I was still intending on killing everyone that manhandled, slugged, and bruised her. They all are going to pay."How is Angela?" Mia asks concerned while Sophia writes down the prescription resulting in a quick pause. Something wasn’t right."There wasn’t much we could do." Sophia tilts her head as she upsurges her eyes to Mia. “She bled out before we were able to find the source of where she was bleeding. I am sorry honey." Sophia takes the piece of paper she jus

"Who the fuck are you?" The small figured man with his dirty blonde hair cut into a boyband type of style tries to act tough even though he is bound to a chair in the middle of a storage unit on the outer part of the resort where no guests are allowed and no one would hear him scream when I start to strip away his life tissue by tissue. "You don't know who you are messing with." He continues to threaten me and Achille as we stood to the side waiting for Achilles's new companion to bring the piece of scum that actually pulled the trigger that launched the bullet into Angela. "100 Dollars he screeches first." Achilles chuckles trying to make a bet that would ensure he wins. Of course, he will start talking first. He isn't a part of this long enough to comprehend what he got himself into. He will take the easiest way out, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to have fun first."Too easy..." I shake my head. "100 Dollars says I can make him yell like a little bitch even before firs

"Damian." Mia breathe looking at me from under her lashes as she opens the white-laced box on the foot and end of the bed. "This is gorgeous." She holds up the emerald-colored designer dress in front of her inspecting every detail, her eyes that match the dress so generously tell me that she loves it. "This must have cost a fortune." She gently hugs it to her body mouthing a silent 'thank you' my way. "Of course." I admire her expectations for the little things. "There is one more thing." I tread carefully knowing that we had this conversation once before and it didn't go down as easily as I have hoped. I hand her a small package containing a new cellphone and the look in her gaze immediately changes."We spoke about this." She warns."I know, but before you decline. I spoke to your dad and he agrees that this phone might be a better choice for you.""Damian." She grits through her teeth. "I need you to stop buying me things, please! I am not your kid or some poor helpless girl in nee
