{POV: Anthony Knight}
It's been three weeks since I last saw her...
Even though I wanted to kick every door in the city, I knew I had to be patient because the space we both needed was important. The last time I saw her, I was close to making her mine, but that look on her face when she turned her back on me...... pissed me off.
We needed a connection that no one understood, and to get that, I understood that it will take time. From the start, Jasmine was mine, and claiming what was mine wasn't that hard, but since I had a lot of time on my hands, I decided to keep my beloved family in check.
They needed to learn that touching my people was forbidden.
I usually wouldn't care. (add dotes)
But I needed to protect her even if I had to sacrifice myself to do so; I don't want her to make a sacrifice she shouldn't have to make.
She should never find out who I am.
The business and the responsibilities I had were another reason that kept me from seeking her out. Walking past the guards outside the worn-out building, I went towards my office to find Chris and Mj waiting by my desk. " I see you two been keeping each other busy," I uttered while walking towards the well perfectly seated desk that sat right in between the two-man and me.
"So may I have the pleasure to know the reason why you two are here," I questioned while laying my hands down on the desk?
They looked at each other before giving me a concerning look.
"Boss, we have a problem," they pose.
"Oh, do we now," I expressed. You could say... I knew what they were planning on saying. I will say it will be a hunch of a sort. I don't usually second-guess that inkling feeling I have, but with this situation: you just don't know what could possibly happen right around the corner. And that is the reason why I have to create a perfectly structured plan so that my subordinates and Jasmine Knight can be safe through this chaotic phase.
'She not even yours though for you to be giving her your last name,' my inner thoughts said.
Respectfully mind your business, I thought back to my inner thoughts.
If I can just get all these problematic situations out of the way, I can see her, even if it's just a second.
I signed; I don't have time for this.
"The Blades started to make a move on our territory, and we need to handle it quickly," they stated with a worried expression on their face. However, they knew my answer when a crooked smile showed up on my face.
When I lifted my left hand, I demonstrated a quick slash over my throat, "you should know what that means," I presumed.
What's the issue viewers, didn't I say I will handle my family. To them, I am nothing but a joke and a cold-blooded knight; at least that's the role I'm supposed to play, and I'm planning on doing that part just right. Although, getting rid of two annoying family members shouldn't be too much of a problem. It will send my family in a stir and personally cause more aggravating situations for me, but this damn family of mine causes me problems more than my subordinates.
This is such a headache.
"It seems like I'm not giving you enough work to do, Mj, " I stated while looking at the grown man with a big smile on his face. Again with this dude. It seems I need to put him in harsher situations where that damn smile of his is gone. "Well, when you ask like that, I have no choice but to answer, sir," he said while his hands rub-down the back of his ear.
My face clenched when I watched his expressions fold down to what the females around me called 'adorable.'
"I'm just going to assume that you did something else without my permission again," I said while giving him that look. He shrugged his shoulders with a cheekily smile on his face saying, "I think I did have permission, though."
"And what will make you think that," I questioned.
"Well, since you asked and as your favorite subordinate, I have noticed you have been on the depressing side of town..and it's kind of sad for a guy of your stature," he expressed.
"I see...so what you're telling me is you want to die early," I claimed with a slight smirk on my face.
"I didn't say that at all...you have been giving psychotic energy since the first time I met you, but this sadness that your feeling is already at the tip of your delusions, I see," he replied.
'This fucker is really asking die without saying he wants to die,'
"Not only you should be grateful that I found this glorious information for you, but I corrected those delusional thoughts of yours...to get you out of this negative energy attitude," he said but added with a mumble, "more like a sickening attitude."
"I should be grateful," I questioned with a cold glare. But, instead, I should kill MJ after I collect information from him.
"The cure of all your issues is your wife, and I know her exact location, including all the recent activities that she has been up to," he said while holding a pile of noted paper.
Waving the pile of paper around my face, he added, "but boss, my services are not free seeing you, the notorious blooded Knight find interest in a woman took a toll in my career since I'm fully dedicated to making hr the missus, but you are not taking it serious enough since she won't-"
He covered parts of his lips with the paper and smirked. "Even look your way," he disclosed.
I looked at him with a killer glare. I knew he wanted to die, and like his boss, I should give him his final wish. I stood up from the well-structured chair and walked towards MJ.
I'm not going to deny that he did intrigue me because he got all the information that I missed, but I will not be disrespected by any of my subordinates. So I watched as MJ took steps away as I got closer to him. "Don't tell me you're not bold enough to stand your ground but can talk a bunch of nonsense," I expressed while stopping right in front of him. He looked at me and smiled, "I know you, my boss, and all who play this role to be this crazy-ass dude, but I'm your best friend; why the hell would I be afraid of you," he said while he raised both of his arms and shrugged.
"If you want me to be afraid of you, I simply will...I mean, my acting skills are a chef kiss," he implied.
"Like always, you are no fun at all, so I'm going to give this to you even though I know your circumstances of avoiding her...it wouldn't be the best decision," he noted while turning his back and walking towards the door. "Oh, and boss, don't take money out of my paycheck just because you can...I will skip town if you do," he added.
"Damn that fucking jokester...he thinks this funny like I give a shit or two...I want to kill him," O mumbled harshly under my breathe.
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMN ITTTTT
Looking at the noted papers, it contained every single detail of information that happened over the last couple of weeks. But only one of them pissed me off to an extent. MJ was just the start of my anger, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Jasmine fucking Washington was my woman, and I kill every single bastard that dared look at what was mine.
She was the only one that can pique my interest, and I'm planning on keeping it that way.
