King's Hart

Chapter ♡ 23

Nasir's Pov

The sound of my phone ringing took my concentration off of the computer screen, reaching over, I picked it up and answered without looking at the caller Id.

"King"

"Where is Monae?" I heard Costa's irritated voice on the other end.

"She went to the bakery, what's wrong?" I asked concerned getting out of my seat.

"Everything!!" He barked "Your little friend Moore has connections to the Albanian mafia"

"What the fvck!!" I exclaimed as Madison rushed into my office with tears in her eyes.

"S-sir, s-something happened-d at M-Monae's bakery" she stuttered out raising her phone to show me the bakery engulfed in fire and I felt my heart drop to my stomach.

"Fvckkk!!!" I heard Costa exclaim followed by the line going dead.

"Cancel all my appointments, call my mom and sister and tell them to stay at my house, and don't leave until I call them," I told her quickly, grabbing my keys and rushing out the office.

Monae's Pov

(2 hours earlier)

After leaving Nasir's place, I went home to shower then headed for the bakery. We had a wedding to cater for so things have been hectic. Pulling into the parking lot, noticing Ryah's car near mine, I got out and headed for the door.

"Good morning beautiful people" I greeted everyone causing them to stare at me.

"You're in a good mood today" Adriana smiled as she continued wiping down the counters.

"Of course she is, she got some d!ck" Ryah smirked stuffing the tart in her mouth.

"Don't you have work to get to ma'am?" I rolled my eyes walking to the office.

"Not until I hear the juicy details" she followed closing the door behind her.

Sitting down, I opened my laptop and pretended to ignore her.

"Come on Mo, don't leave me hanging" she pouted which caused me to burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright" I giggled before proceeding to tell her about the amazing night I had.

"Mo, I'm jealous" she pouted again "All these guys I've met are dumbass, and look at you out here in love" she smiled.

"I'm not in lo-" I paused noticing the hooded figure lurking outside the window from the reflection in the mirror behind Ry.

"What's wrong?" She asked in concern seeing the look on my face.

"Nothing, I just remembered I had to give nique the requirements for cake". I tapped my head acting like I didn't see the person as to not alert them. "Come on we'll continue there," I told her getting up and exiting the office.

"Mo, you al-" she stopped as she ran into my back due to me stopping abruptly at the sight of the man talking to Antonio at the counter, pulling out my phone I began recording them.

What the hell is going on?

Turning back quickly, I pulled her to the kitchen where Adriana and nique were. Rushing in and locking the door I turned to them wide-eyed.

"Mo, wh-"

"Shh, I want you guys to listen to me carefully. There are very dangerous people in and around the bakery, more than likely they're here for me but they won't hesitate to get rid of anyone else." I told them quickly as their eyes widened.
