“I do, don’t I?” She arched her lips in triumph.
I inclined my head. “You do.”
“Cool, well back to you and your guy.”
I laughed now. “He’s not mine Anya. I think right now he’s just a good distraction. A nice one.”
A distraction that was still to do with Pa.
Xander saw what kind of man Pa was. It didn’t bother him. So what kind of man was he?
“I just need to focus on this plan of mine.” I nodded and the worry returned to her face.
I definitely understood her worry. I truly did. We were the kind of friends who worried about each other. On this occasion though I had to put myself first.
The less she knew the better for her. Pa wouldn’t hurt her, at least I hoped not. He’d want information from her though. So this was where I’d stop talking about what was going on with me.
Focus on the plan…
Focus on the plan…
Yeah sure, I had every intention to do just that until I woke up the next morning and saw that my car was gone.
My car was gone and one of Pa’s limos waited for me outside on the drive.
When I stepped out the front door of my house, processed that my car was gone and this limo was now there, I nearly breathed fire.
I very nearly did, and probably would have too if that feeling of impending doom hadn’t taken me down.
Frankie stepped out of the limo and looked me over when I approached him.
“What is happening? Where is my car?” I asked him, doing my best to restrain the tremor in my voice.
“Boss’s orders, you are to come with me,” he replied.
My lips parted and I sucked in a sharp breath.
“Where is my fucking car?” I shot back, not accepting his answer.
“Gone, do you see it anywhere? Now come.”
It was the way he ordered me. I raised my hand to slap him but he caught it and tightened his grip on my arm.
“Don’t do it. Don’t you fucking do it.” The corners of his lips turned up into a snarl and his eyes blazed with fiery anger. He stood at six feet and was solid muscle like a tank. In comparison to my five feet and four inches he towered over me and didn’t hold back on his strength. “If you didn’t belong to the boss I’d probably pop a bullet in that pretty little head of yours. Don’t piss me off, Jia. I don’t care who you are. I’m not above spanking the shit out of you.”
I swallowed hard knowing he would do it. It hadn’t happened before but that didn’t mean it wouldn’t. That he wouldn’t try.
I bit back a whimper and got inside the back of the limo when he released me. I placed myself right over to the far side, away from him so I wouldn’t have to look at him.
Bad enough that I couldn’t stand Frankie, but what the hell was this?
Whywas it?
Pa had my car taken and sent Frankie to get me. Why?
Even when the worst shit was going down, he’d never acted like this before. Why now?
The minute the car was parked at the hotel’s entrance, I flew out and headed straight to Pa’s office like I had hellfire on my heels.
