Case File Name:
The Sole Reason.
♠Chapter Eighty-One♠
"This wine is really fucking good," Marie said to Gia, which earned a nod from me.
"Definitely top three," I added as I stood at the kitchen island with everyone else.
Except I made sure the twins stood between me and Gia.
"Well it was fucking expensive so I'm glad it's good," Gia said as she made herself another glass.
I nodded, but almost as soon as the doorbell echoed throughout the house—my attention snapped toward the hallway.
"Relax, it's just the pizza Lena," Mav said as he walked past us, taking a wad of cash from Vic.
I nodded almost unconsciously, "Right... the pizza," I whispered, taking another long sip of my wine.
"Look, I'm sure Taz is fine," Vic said, giving me a subtle nudge.
I let out a deep sigh as I tapped the lock screen of my phone.
Which was void of any texts from Tazmin.
"The last time she texted me was when she got there," I pointed out, already overthinking what could've happened in that meeting.
"She's probably too busy to reach for her phone," Gia suggested, which earned a nod from Marie.
"Or maybe she forgot to text you when she left," my best friend added, clearly trying to calm any of my anxieties.
But I couldn't possibly be fucking calm until Tazmin gets here.
"This pizza is about to smack," Mav said as he approached us with numerous pizza boxes.
"I'll grab the plates," Gia offered, turning around to the cabinets.
"Let me go get the movie pulled up," Vic said, walking past us as Marie helped Mav with the different pizza boxes.
Meanwhile, I was checking my phone yet again.
Except this time I eyed the current time.

It's been over an hour since she left...
Which feels like a bad sign to me—what if she's been arrested and we don't even know it yet?
"Lena?" Vic called out from the living room, which easily snapped my attention away from my phone.
And as soon as I realized he was waiting for an answer from me, I quickly shook my head to myself, "Sorry what did you say?" I said, noticing Marie now opening the boxes of pizza.
"Is it cool if we go ahead and eat without Taz?" Vic asked, glancing back over to the TV when Netflix loaded in.
I immediately nodded, noticing everyone was waiting to eat.
I'm sure Tazmin wouldn't mind eating later.
"Yeah, I'll text her now," I said, grabbing my phone from the counter to text her yet again.

Romance"If you wanted me to fuck you, all you had to do was ask," Tazmin said, her raspy voice lowered as she drew one of her hands up the inside of my thigh. I clenched my jaw, "I didn't," I gritted, even if we both knew it was a full-faced lie. Especiall...
