Crown

CHAPTER THREE

It has always been said, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. It was one of the best ways to conquer and that was what Hernandez Moretti wanted more than ever after the little cat and rat chase that happened the previous day that almost brought him down to that lowlife, good-for-nothing, three-day-old don.

It was so close.
If there were no teargas in the van and if not for Rodney, he probably would have been tortured by his new enemy and the thought infuriated him.

He was waiting for Leonardo Jones to show up for the meeting that he (Leonardo) himself had called for. Hernandez had a good feeling that soon enough things would go as they should.
He usually never felt that way, but now he had Stormi. The love of his life.
And she made everything seem so simpler and better. He'd only met her a month ago but he felt like he'd known her forever.

Stormi Aracely Martinez. He couldn't get her out of his head.

She was truly the best but Rodney seemed to have a problem with her.
He just got off the phone with her and she promised to come over tonight.

In the next minute, the sand-coloured haired man wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses walked in.
"Hernandez Moretti," he smirked and took off his shades.

"Leonardo. It's been a long while, hasn't it?"

"I agree," Leonardo responded and made himself comfortable on the couch in the office like he owned the place.

"And I hope you have a perfect explanation for what happened three days ago."

"Actually, it was a week ago," Leonardo corrected. "Fernandez knew you and your sister were on his tail and he executed his plan sooner than he intended. Rodney shouldn't have sent him that threat message. She blew the cover. Moreover, everything was done without information to any of the soldados (soldiers). It was very smart of my boss to do."

Hernandez nodded in understanding.
"I see. So is that why you asked us to have this meeting?"

Leonardo laughed. "Do you take me for a clown, Moretti?" And then he asked where his sister was.

"Why?" Hernandez questioned back.

"Because I have found a way to take down the Crown Empire."

"Have a good time at school," Star said, watching Jayda get dressed in her denim shorts and turtleneck shirt.

"That's nothing to say to a girl that's literally tired of every aspect of her life," Jayda said with a smile, tieing the laces of her favorite sneakers. A gift from the half naked blonde in her room.

"Chill. You're graduating in August."

"Yeah right, you got to do that earlier and I'm honestly jealous and wish I had done those extra classes with you," she huffed, making Star admire the best thing that had ever happened in her life.

"Well, the moral of the story is understood then; always listen to Star."
Jayda rolled her eyes and hung her bag on her back.
"You can take my car," Star offered.

"Why? I have mine. Gift from yours truly," Jayda smiled.
Star did a good job with showering her girlfriend with gifts as she did with Joedi too.

"I know. I just want your scent in my car."

"You're insane," Jayda laughed and went over to hug Star who was sitting on the bed. "Fine. But mostly because my aircon is bad."
Star kissed her.

"I know you're never gonna drive to a mechanic yourself so I'll help with that."
