Addiction

67 || Reveals

"Happy to see us, princesa?"

The man's voice echoes in my ears like an alarm. I snap out of it, flinching and Chase's figure steps in front of me protectively "What do you want, Sebastian?" He growls angrily.

Sebastian is probably the man with light brunette hair that's standing in the middle between other two equally giant and scary tanned men dressed in all black suits. He looks at least three years older than us, the other two definitely more.

A playful smirk is plastered on his face and he takes two large steps closer to us, shoving his hands in his pockets. His gaze lands on me, eyeing me up and down slowly "So you're the chava boss has been talking about." A thick Mexican accent laces his voice "Now I get it, Miller." He winks at Chase's direction with a lopsided smile.

"What the fuck do you want?" Miller repeats through gritted teeth and his whole body tenses under the thin material of his T-shirt. I reach for his hand instinctively, interlocking our fingers and he squeezes my palm to let me know that it's gonna be okay.

"Came to see the prize in person." Sebastian grins showing us his white straight teeth and his eyes are glued on me "Carlos did a poor job describing you, preciosa. So does the photos."

I stop hiding behind Miller's body, hating myself for showing them how off guard they caught me and I let my fear take over. I need to keep a strong facade on in order to fool them with my fake bitchy attitude and let them believe that they don't terrify me.

"Am I the prize?" I cock an eyebrow, letting go off Miller's hold and I cross my arms over my chest "I am flattered," I look directly into Sebastian's eyes "Sebastian." offering a fake cold smile.

"Heard that you had an attitude. Nice to see that's true." Sebastian lets an amused laugh, shaking his head and for the first time I notice that the two walking bulky walls that are standing to his sides are keeping their eyes on Miller. They are watching him like hawks. A wise move given the fact that he is short tempered and he attacks and shoot people for nothing. Something that I have yet to see in person.

"Get the hell out of our faces before I lose my temper." Miller snaps, raising his voice and Sebastian's playful expression turns for the first time into a serious one, something dark crosses his eyes for a second.

"Also came to give you a friendly warning." He walks closer to Miller "Time flies, guapo, and the hot stuff next to you-" His gaze lands on me for a mere second and he winks playfully "is in danger and you know it." He turns to face a furious Chase again "Stop playing with fire and her safety. Boss expects news from you or Liam yesterday."

I snort a laugh, earning everyone's attention.

"What was that?" Sebastian turns his head, locking eyes with me. Chase immediately places his hand around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Boss better expects nothing." I roll my eyes and Sebastian's gaze darkens even more hearing my words "Come again?" I can't miss the tint of annoyance that his words hide.

"Did I stutter?" I raise my voice just enough to sound confident and I take a step closer without breaking the eye contact and Miller squeezes my waist, his way of warning me to back off.

"Extra points for being brave, hot stuff. But you really are stupid. Keep ignoring our warnings and once we got our hands on you, you're going to beg Alejandro to let us kill you or even worse kill you by himself." Sebastian keeps a stern and serious tone, leaving me with no doubts that he doesn't voice empty threats.

I am one step before breaking down, start crying and beg them to leave me alone. I haven't done anything to them and still they threaten my life like it's nothing in order to get to my boyfriend. It's not fair, I don't deserve this, neither does Miller. If something happens to any of us, I won't be able to handle it.
