Asian Mafia King and the Black Beauty

Chapter 62

You deserve someone
Who is terrified to loose you.

- R. H. Sin

Imani Pov

Again someone is after us, always targeting us. I kind of feel bad for the guys because they were just trying to protect us, but at the same time, I'm sick of people especially men underestimating us because we are women, it's not like we can't defend ourselves. In all honesty I think they are paranoid, but I still do feel a bit bad for them. Everyone was currently running up and down, gathering weapons and figuring out a plan and strategy on how we were going to handle Kento.

"Va com calma" I whispered to myself. Every time I was having problems or panicking I would whisper those words to myself, I didn't like people finding out the reason behind me saying it was, its really deep and brings back bad memories. I was thinking of so many things at once, and it was starting to get to me, so I repeated the sentence, "Va com calma, Imani".

Translation: Take it easy (Portuguese)

"Meaning?" Khalani asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I replied in confusion.

"Never mind", she said, looking a bit worried, though I didn't mind it and I went to go help the others. We were now gathered around a large table discussing the plan. Malik had brought a blueprint of one of Kento's facility bases, which we had to break into.

"Ok listen up, this is one of the bases we are going to attack first. The plan is to destroy Kento by going after his businesses and bases, which are the main things he used to build his empire". Kane said.

"So what do we do?" Hakim asked.

"We will start off by stealing the weapons and other goods in his bases, then we burn the place down. No businesses means no money for Kento", Kane said.

"And no money means no power", Amari added. They continued discussing the plan and I drifted into my thoughts again. Could this be the end? could I loose Kane or anyone I loved, during this war?, is Kento really that dangerous that the people I love would have to risk their lives for this war against him. I had so many questions and no answers, this lifestyle is no joke. I personally had no problem with it, I was only worried about the safety of the people I love.

"Va com calma", I whispered once more, not realizing that Khalani heard me.

"Meaning?" she said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What are you talking about?" I raised my brow in confusion.

"You always say that when you are lost in your thoughts and especially when something is bothering you. Imani what does it mean?" she said and also managed to get everyone's attention.

"Nothing is bothering me". She looked at me, clearly seeing the lies.

"Fine but at least tell me what it means".

"Its really nothing, don't stress yourself about it", I didn't want to tell her because, if she knew the meaning she would know that something is bothering me. If she found out that something is bothering me, her and Naomi won't stop asking questions until they figure it out and who knows what everyone else would do.

"Imani", she was persistent, I couldn't understand why I couldn't hide thoughts or emotions around her, yeah we are twins but surely there are some things we can do without the other one finding out. Right?

"Really Khalani its nothing and if I do tell you, you and Naomi won't stop bothering me".

"Fair enough", she said and nodded her head.

"But this is not over", she added. Opening up about my dark past is something I don't ever want to do, I don't even want to talk about it. The only reason they even found out that I was being abused for years, was cause I landed in the hospital on some random day. But still I'm going to have to learn to trust them, Khalani is my sister after all, so I'd have to tell her someday.
