".... Ricci... I've been tryna get hold of you...
Ricci turned to see the dewy faced out of breath woman who had been chasing her down while she had been on her morning run. She took out her EarPod. "Kerry...
"Oh my lord!.. I have been shouting your name for the last mile.." she said trying to catch her breath.
"What's the urgency?."
"He's out... Justin ... he got out this morning.."
Ricci's face stayed straight and was doing a good job of concealing the minor panic that she was feeling inside.
"How?...""His legal team have been working hard behind the scenes and they have unearthed new evidence... he's free..." she said. "He said the first people he wanted to see was family...
"The man doesn't know the meaning of the word.. I don't want him any where near me... besides I'm not part of his immediate family..."
"You're his daughter... and things didn't end on great terms between you and him when he got sent down.." Kerry said to her.
"Well it is your job to make sure that he doesn't come near me..
"So you wanna file a restraining order?." She asked her.
Ricci thought about it for a second. She then nodded. "I don't want him near me..."
"Okay.. I'll go back to the office and file that order for you.. just be careful he is out now and this document doesn't exist yet..." Kerry said and patted her arm in a caring way before she headed away from her.
Ricci felt deflated, she was the daughter of Leila Steele, a lingerie model in her own day. She was also the daughter of renowned cartel leader Justin Reece, who although married at the time had a fling with her mother, which Ricci was a product of.
She didn't have a great relationship with her father, he also had 5 other kids with his wife, Cherry. Cherry despised Ricci, and held against her the affair that her mother had had with her husband.She sighed heavily as she put the key in the door of her apartment. Her mother was now a high flying fashion designer and worked out of Paris, she rarely saw her, almost as if she was an after thought, the product of an affair that she no longer wanted to be reminded of.
"Ricci..
She turned her to the side to see her neighbour Eddie, just about to open his door, he had a huge grin on his face. "Hey Eddie." She replied
"Thad dinner invitation is still on the table.. just let me know..
"Thanks but I don't think that's a great idea..." she replied with a smile that hid the fact that she just wanted him to go inside.
"I would do anything to...
"Aye!.. you again mother fucker!..."
Eddie hurriedly went inside of his place and shut the door as quickly as he could.
"Dinner again?..."Ricci smiled as she saw Orion, she walked back down the steps to her apartment door across to the McLaren that had pulled in to the side of the road. "Are you coming in?." She asked him.
