Restoring Hope

21. did that rope just pop?❤️‍🩹

Power P.O.V

This date has to be perfect.

The past few days have been spent with me pulling strings and continuously going over everything to make sure nothing he's wrong.

I haven't seen her in the past two days. Either I'm gone before she gets up, or she's asleep before I get home.

I plan on taking her out tonight for our date tonight. I made sure Justin knew to keep her up until I'm done at the other house handling business.

I am currently in the basement with one of Andrei Kozlov's men. We found him wandering around the back of the club with the familiar crescent moon and stars, Russian tattoo.

Lucas is currently torturing him while I am thinking about how to make this date with Bella perfect.

There's so much about her that I would like to know. Like what things make her mad? What makes her happy? What are her tell-tale signs that hints that somethings wrong? Who did that to Hope?

I want to know everything about her.

One question that had been on my mind since Hope woke up is, who in the hell is Jacey?

Bella looked as if someone pressed the pause button on her when Hope mentioned that she saw "Jacey."

I've asked Justin about him since he's around Hope and Jasmine a lot, but all he told me was that it wasn't his place to tell and that he barely knows anything about him anyways. Just that he was super important to the girls.

Was important. Did he leave them? Was he an old friend? An old boyfriend? Is he dead or is the past tense used to imply that he's alive but no longer apart of their life?

I am broke out of my overthinking when Lucas calls out to me.

"What?" I ask. I look over to see the men that we were torturing with his head hung back on the chair, with his neck cut open.

"Did you hear what he said?" Lucas asks me.

Obviously not.

"He said Andrei is planning a get-together. Every mafia will be invited. He will use this as a subtle distraction for him to make his move of joining ally's with the French to 'take us down'," Lucas says.

I sit quiet for a moment and take in all the information. After a few more moments I speak, "Get the Spanish mafia on the phone. Andrei won't be the only one joining ally's that night."

I make it home at 6:30 which gives me an hour and a half to get ready for the dinner reservations at 8.

I hop into the shower and quickly wash myself and my hair.

With a towel wrapped on my lower half, and another towel in my hand drying my hair, I walk out of the bathroom and into my room.

I stop in my tracks when I see her sitting on my bed.

It's not only the fact that she scared the living shit out of me, but it's also the fact that she looks fucking gorgeous.
