Chapter 71

“I am Mikel.” He extended his hand and lifted me to my feet as if I weighed less than a feather. “And my friend here is Hugo.”Hugo seemed to have a less friendly disposition than Mikel. Scowling, he glanced at me, gave me a slight nod, and returned his gaze behind me to Jack.I dusted myself off and turned back to face Jack. He too had stopped and was staring warily at us.“Jack, are you going to let them scare you? You’re in a gang for crying out loud! Get her!”Jack glanced back at Rachel and then back at us with a pensive gaze.“My friend, if you know what’s good for you, you would walk away. That woman’s tongue is like a sharp knife, I know. But don’t let her slicing words push you into a tiger's mouth,” Mikel said. I had my eyes fixed on Jack but I could hear the smile in Mikel’s voice.“Don’t be a bitch, Jack,” Rachel spat.Jack looked so conflicted, like a lost puppy not knowing where to look. I almost felt bad for him. He was stuck between Rachel and a hard place. It made

Chapter 72

I wrapped my arms around his neck, completely locking our bodies together.“I thought you were judging me. That’s why I lashed out like that. I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice dripping with desire.“Why the hell would you think that baby?” he cooed into my ear. “I want you so bad right now, Remi.”Hearing him call me baby was like I got electrocuted. My body lost all its rigidity and melted into his embrace, molding us seamlessly together.“Honey, I’m all yours,” I purred, brushing my lips against his.Breathing heavily, he lifted me with his hand under my cheeks. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling my heated core against his growing hardness.He carried me to his room, threw me onto the bed, and stood there, staring at me, looking drunk on lust.Even though I giggled, there was nothing funny about the situation. It wasn’t the first time we were getting together but something about this time felt different.Jesse himself was the difference. He was usually control

Chapter 73

Depression and paranoia were a cocktail of emotions I had never thought I would feel. All the way home from Jesse’s place, I had anxiously checked each driver next to me at the stop lights, wondering if they had been sent after me. I had my purse open right in my lap just in case I needed quick access. Right after I got home, I slumped into bed, completely drained from everything. Yet again, I’d been attacked. At least this time, my guardian angels were there. Even though I knew I was safe in my parent’s home, I would jump at the shadows dancing around my room at night. Sleep was becoming a fading interest because all it brought me was nightmares. If I wasn’t being chased by a biker gang, I was getting battered by Debbie and her metal bat. I hadn’t realized how much I was repressing but someone trying to kill you is a huge deal. It’s not something you just walk away from. But what choice did I have? I had too much going on with the board and Oscar and life. Life was kicking m

“What the hell were you thinking?” Deandra barked, eyes boring through my head, her face was a mask of disappointment and frustration.Videos of Renard Dynasty’s CEO pulling a gun on an innocent man quickly made the rounds on all media. It got so bad that I had to deactivate all my social media accounts because of all the death threats I was getting. “Anything could have happened. A cop could have been around the corner and shot you just because. You could have accidentally pulled the trigger. Even now I’m holding the DA back with all my might. Do you know why?” She crouched to my eye level. “He wants to slap you with reckless endangerment and false imprisonment charges.”“I’m sorry,” I said softly, my eyes on the brink of spilling over.I knew I’d gone over the top. I’d completely lost my cool. In the moment, it felt so right letting lose like that. Seeing the man cower and tremble under the threat of a bullet to the head was thrilling. Only after I snapped out of my rage-induced ha

“This is a private meeting. What the hell are you doing here?” Mike seethed through his teeth.“What do you mean, O’Hearn? I am a board member. You didn’t know?” dad said with a chuckle. “Besides, it’s best I be present when big decisions are made in my own company, is it not?”Mike was beside himself with rage, glancing all around like a headless chicken.“It’s hers,” he yelled, pointing at me. “Are you going to let your father push you out of your own company?”Such an impotent attempt.I shrugged nonchalantly. “He’s a board member. What do you want me to say?”“Well, there are no chairs so you might as well leave,” Mike said with a triumphant smile on his face.What an idiot. Why did he think the lack of a chair would shoo my father away? At this point, he was grasping at straws.“No matter,” dad said, striding over to the head of the table.“You see,” Mike said to me with a crazed grin on his face. “He wants to kick you out and take back control. Call security now while you still

Chapter 76

“Didn’t I tell you how relaxing those mud baths are?” Sadie said as we dried off after a truly soul-soothing mud bath.I was on the first week of my indefinite time off work and Sadie had convinced me to go for that spa day we hadn’t been able to due to… reasons.“I should never have doubted you. It was amazing!” I gushed. The whole time, it was as if my whole body was wrapped in an all-encompassing warm hug.“Right? Now if only I can convince Tristan to join me,” she replied, looking deep in thought.My phone started to ring and I took it out of my assigned locker, quickly diverting the screen so Sadie couldn’t see the caller ID.“Hello?” I said, trying to appear as calm as I could.“Haven’t gotten into any trouble lately, have you?” Deandra asked.“No,” I mumbled, trying not to get Sadie’s attention.“I hope so. Phase two is a go. Since you’re so riled up and primed for action, I have a task for you. Ready?”“Yes,” I muttered under my breath.“Are you busy or something?” She asked

Chapter 77

I parked right across the street from Oscar’s place, looking in the rearview one last time to confirm my guardian angels were still behind me. Hugo and Mikel had followed me, considering it was Rachel who brought a biker gang member to a simple meet and greet between her husband and I. “Hello?” I said into the receiver. “Hey, Remi. Are you here yet? I have a little problem but nothing I can’t fix. Just come over,” Oscar pratteled on. I simply hung up and watched the show play out. His front door burst open and out came Celia, Oscar behind her, pushing her forward. “Just go okay?” Oscar said. “I have an important meeting from home and I don’t want any disturbance.” I couldn’t miss this for the world. I hopped out of my car and walked down to his driveway. Seeing me, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. If looks could kill, Celia would have turned me into a frozen sculpture with the icy glare she was giving me. “What’s she doing here?” she spat before her gaze slowly

He wasn’t letting me up. I struggled and hemmed and hawed but he was resolute, face twisted in a mixture of lust and desperation.“Get the hell off of me, Oscar,” I snapped, but the fear in my voice was evident. “Come on, baby. You know you want this,” he said, gripping my restrained hands tighter, reaching one hand down and undid my top button.I didn’t know where it came from but I had a sudden rush of strength. My rage boiled over and I started struggling even more, twisting and jerking under his weight.“Goddamnit Remi, stop fucking fighting me! We both know why you came here. Why you told me to get everyone out of the house. Why are you making this difficult?”His face loomed closer, hot and sour breath hitting my skin.“I’m warning you, Oscar. Let. Me. Go,” I seethed through gritted teeth, feeling my emotions brimming, angry tears threatening to spill any second. “Or what, Remi?’ he scoffed, sneering at me. “What are you going to do?”I hadn’t planned for this at all. I had un

It felt like I had a jackhammer in my chest. Thump, thump, thumping away.I couldn’t think. I knew I had to but the thoughts weren’t crystalizing.My hand gripped my gun tighter, the closer he got. His face… he meant business if business was putting me in the ground.“Get her, Jack,” Rachel shrieked.I felt air whoosh past me and Oscar came to stand before me, holding his arms up to try and stop Jack.Idiot. We both knew the futility of that. The next thing I knew, Oscar was on the ground, nose gushing blood.“Stay out of my way, pussy,” Jack spat at Oscar’s prone figure before his gaze locked on to me again.The shock of seeing Oscar get laid on his back jarred me awake. I needed to do something or Rachel’s hired muscle would do much worse to me “Remi, your gun!” Oscar yelled.I tried to pull it out but Jack was right on top of me. He slapped the purse out of my hand and grabbed me by my hair.An ear-piercing scream rang out. Only when he threw me to the ground by my hair did I r

Chapter 80

One rented, nondescript car later and we were off to the races. As I parked on his street, a safe distance from his house, I couldn’t believe I’d agreed to this.My nerves were on the fritz and every sound jarred me, and I glanced around like a thief trying not to get caught.“This feels so wrong,” I muttered, gripping the steering wheel like my life depended on it.“Oh, relax, Remi,” Sadie chuckled, waving me off. “We aren’t doing anything wrong. Even if we get arrested, what would be the charge?”I instinctively turned my head to face her, making her burst into laughter. “Why would you say that?” I asked, the tension I was feeling rapidly rising, making my heartbeat go haywire.How was she so calm? Why was she so confident nothing would go wrong? I was literally shaking. This was ridiculous, childish, crazy! It was a lot of things and most of all, it was something I shouldn’t have been doing. “Maybe we should leave,” I said, but my voice lacked conviction and I know Sadie picked u
