Blaze's POV:

The last few days have been so amazing. I haven't felt this kind of happiness in a years. It's been a while since I've kept my head aside from work and focus on something else, someone else.

I've been in the HQ since morning. There were few meetings with the French mafia and little drug deals here and there.

I've been trying to avoid the Emanuel problem. Whenever I try to solve it out something comes in between me and Olivia and we're back to being 10 steps back.

But eventually I'll have to find a solution. I decided to call in for the core team and see what updates they've gotten. I wouldn't disturb Olivia because she told me she had few shoots aligned today. I'll fill her in later.

I made the calls and asked everyone to be in the conference room in 15 minutes.

I got up and headed down to the conference room.

When I entered I saw everybody was present and seated. I walked towards my chair in the centre and sat down.

"Stacey, what do you have?" I started with her.

"So, I've been doing a little seducing and asking and stuff with other mafia's to see if Emanuel has tried his way out with them. Turns out, he did approach a few but most of them just turned him down. The news is around that he's been approaching small gangs now." Stacey said.

Now I have to deal with gangs? What's with his small dick.

"Alright, which gangs?" I asked.

"Still working on that." Stacey said.

"Be quick. I want the entire biodata of these gangs and one person from every gang. Pay them a good chunk and ask them to spy." I said and Stacey nodded.

"Jace, what about you?" I asked.

"We've been keeping tabs on Emanuel's system but the man has been changing them every 2 days." Jace explained.

"There must be a pattern then, keep observing and note down the changes." I said.

"Ash? Shawn?" I questioned.

"Yes, Olivia did come to us asking about the stone. We told her we don't know shit as you asked us to. We've informed Malia and told her if Olivia approaches her to say what." Asher said and Shawn nodded.

I knew Olivia would go around asking my people about the stone. I know how impatient she is when it comes to that stone.

"Marcus and Tyberias I assume y'all have been checking on the security in London we kept for Olivia's family?" I queried.

"Yes boss, everything is clear." Tyberias said.

"I want quicker updates on everything, we need to get Emanuel out of our way before he reaches to Olivia or the stone and-" Marcus' phone ring cut me off.

I gestured him to pick it up.

He picked up the call. I could see he tensed a little.

"I'll inform boss." He said and cut the call.

"Boss...uh..the Olivia was um...spotted meeting Carter today." He said.

She what? Carter? Her? Why is she with Carter? Does she know him? How does she know him?

"Are they still together?" I asked.

"No Boss, it seems they met in the morning for an hour and then she went to her shoot." Marcus explained.

I had asked Marcus to be Olivia's guard because I trusted him. He had a whole team under him for that.

"Get your assigned works done. The next time I want it. If not, I'm shooting each one of y'all." I said and got out.

I had gotten home early today. I was mad would be an understatement, I was furious. If she knew Carter she probably knew what relationship me and him share. The least she could've done is told me. I don't see why she had to hide it.

I was waiting for her to come back.

It was 8 in the evening when I heard the door of the room open and close. I furiously got up from the bed and saw her walking inside. She kept her bag on the table as I walked towards and harshly pinned her to the wall.

"Ow! What's wrong with you?" She said tried to get out of my hold.

"Why?" I asked.

"Huh? What why? Blaze leave me." She said trying to get out.

"Why did you meet Carter?" I asked.

"Carter? He's a friend Blaze, leave me." She said annoyed.

"You know him don't you." I asked angrily.

She stopped moving and just looked at me.

"I do. I know what relationship both of y'all share. I know how much you hate him." She said.

"And you still chose to meet him." I gritted.

"Blaze, he was in town. We've been friends ever since I was a kid. He left London with his family to come live in America because of his dad's business. I've know about their mafia for ages now. He's a good friend." She explained.

"So this is what it is? You're working for that loser's mafia? He asked you to spy on me?" I was mad angry.

"What are you talking about? Oh my god, Blaze! I met him because we hadn't met for a while and he was in town. I've never worked for any mafia until you forced me. He's just a friend." She said.

"Why did you hide it from me then huh?" I questioned.

"Because I knew this is how you'd react. You would get mad for no reason." She said.

"NO REASON?!?! I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON TO BE MAD YOU KNOW WHAT RELATIONSHIP I SHARE WITH THAT GUY. WHAT IF HIS PLAN WAS TO HARM YOU AND GET TO ME." I yelled.

"BLAZE, FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME. CARTER IS MY REALLY GOOD FRIEND HE WASN'T GOING TO HARM ME. I'M NOT SUPPOSE TO TELL YOU EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF MY LIFE." She yelled back.

I just glared at her as my hold on her arm got tighter.

"How'd you even know I met him." She asked.

Shit.

"I've kept Marcus as your guard. He told me." I said.

"YOU SPIED ON ME?!" She yelled.

"YOU GO MEETING THESE PEOPLE I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CHOICE." I yelled back.

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GO SPYING ON PEOPLE." She looked mad.

"YEA WELL STOP MEETING PEOPLE THEN." I yelled.

"I CAN'T FUNCTION MY LIFE ACCORDING TO YOU." Why is she even mad, I have all the reasons to be mad.

"You know what? Be a bitch then. Go fucking around." I said and left the room as I slammed the door shut.

Why does she have to do this? Everything was going fine until Carter came in.

I walked outside the house and drove to a bar.

I needed a drink.
