How do they even know about her? It’s been four years since I even spoke with her.
“Luka?” Yilian says cautiously.
“We have to warn her,” I say. Rose was never a part of the mafia world. The only reason she became entangled with it was because of me. And now, all these years later, because of me, she’s in danger.
If the rivals get their hands on her—
But what if they are after her for some other reason?
What if she’s some kind of informant?
Fuck.
Okay, either way, I need to find her before they do.
I have no choice.
Yil reaches out and grabs my arm. “Luka, calm down, man, I’ve already contacted our security team to track her down. I’ll send a car out to get her as soon as we know where she is.”
“I know where she is. I’ll go there myself. There’s no reason to draw attention to her or make a scene.”
“It might not be safe,” Ark mutters.
“It doesn’t matter. We don’t know why they want her, and we have to move before they do.”
Yilian nods. Ark grumbles, “We aren’t going for that beer, are we?”
“No, you’re going to make sure these trucks get packed properly and the shipment isn’t late,” I sigh.
“I’ll help him,” Yilian says. “Shout if you want backup, I’ll have the guys ready just in case.”
“Thanks, man,” I say, already jogging to grab my car keys.
Memories of her face flood my mind, teasing me.
Why is her name popping up in my life again now? Why are they targeting her?
Curiosity drives me to run faster, out to the cars. I have to reach her before anyone else does.
Chapter 2 - Rose
It’s only Tuesday, and this week already feels way too long. My tiredness has tripled in the three short hours since I woke up.
This morning when my alarm went off, I was so excited. I woke up feeling amazing, looking forward to the meeting first thing with my boss. Everything I worked so hard for was finally going to pay off.
I’ve been going all out for years, practically killing myself and sacrificing so much time away from my little baby girl, working towards the promotion my boss promised me.
I desperately need it, because at the moment, I’m working two jobs, and it’s impossible to keep going like this—but once I level up, I can let go of the other job and won’t be killing myself week after week just to hold things together.
But as soon as I sat down opposite my boss at his desk, I could see it on his face.
The promotion went to his latest mistress.
The newest one in a long line of women he cheats on his wife with. He doesn’t even try to hide it, but I think his wife puts up with it because he’s stinking rich and she gets whatever she wants.
It’s disgusting, if you ask me. What kind of a life is that? It’s empty and shallow and miserable.
I’d rather be single and struggling than living with some rich, arrogant asshat who cheats on me and can’t even be bothered to hide it.
