“What now?” I can’t take any more bombs falling on my head at the moment. Between finding out the truth about Raul and now having to beg Mason to help me, I don’t know how much more I can take.
“Word on the street is Raul created his own gang and put out a hit on you.”
“Are you fucking with me right now? He’s the one that stole money!”
Ralf nods his head quickly. “Turns out, he wants all the money and all the power. You’re just a skirt who belongs in the kitchen.”
“When I get my hands on him, I’m going to make him pay. You understand me? No one can take him out. I don’t want anyone to take him out but me. Do I make myself clear?”
I’m fuming. I can’t believe my trusted lieutenant would do this to me. In the end, I should have realized the signs of his dishonesty. It has been there from the beginning with his veiled threats about Big Heavy. I should have known.
I want a couple shots and a blunt of the good weed from Colombia, but I have business to attend to. I know for a fact this is going to be a long transition period.
What the fuck am I supposed to be doing while Mason is running everything?
“Who did he take the hit out with?” Raul doesn’t have enough guts to take me out himself. He knows I know too much about him and his situations that he likes to get himself into.
Like the fact that he’s going to fuck over the gang he has working for him.
“I don’t know. But no one will take him out until you have a chance.”
Ralf’s being surprisingly nice. “Why are you being so nice to me?” I thought for sure he wanted he wanted my sector and my line.
“I’m being nice because I want to fucking kill anyone who hurts my QueenPin.”
Chapter Ten
Mason
I’m about to leave The Venetian when I hear someone calling my name. I turn to look at Trina who has the phone cupped between her shoulder and her head with a bored expression on her face.
“Mason!”
“Yeah?” What could she possibly want? I’m already the loser who was dating a girl who only wanted to watch me fuck other people. That’s it. Do they want me to stay to embarrass me some more?
“Ms. McGrace would like to see you in her office.”
“What for?” Yeah, I’m being an asshole. However, I want to get to the hospital and be there when Paul wakes up. If he wakes up. I want to know how he’s doing and I can’t do that standing in the club.
She gives me a death stare and then tells Lucian something before I hear the click clack of heels down the hallway. Just hearing the heels hit the floor has my dick straining in my pants.
There is something I can’t explain that draws me to Lucian. Lucian is like a siren to me, she calls to me.
“Mason, I need you in my office, please.”
Again, I stare at her as if she’s gone crazy. “What for? I don’t want to play any games.”
“There’s no games being played. Follow me, please.”
Well, at least she saidplease.Like a puppy dog, I follow her towards her office that has Ralf sitting at her desk. I walk into the office and Lucian immediately holds her hand out.
“Give me your phone. This is a top secret issue.”
My brows furrow. That calming yet chaotic pull from her has me handing over my phone like an idiot.
She grabs it as she walks over to the closet door in the office to place the phone in there. I hear the tell-tale sign of the phone being powered down before she closes the door to the closet.
“Take a seat.”
