Senseless

Chapter Seventeen

Miley's p.o.v

This was the rising, this was me not holding back, this was me being, me. I was tired of being taken for granted by boys, men, and women. I was ready to unleash myself in a way that I had never done before. I was ready to let go of the past. I was fucking ready to fuck shit up.

It wasn't like I was trying to free myself of my father. I had already done that. I had rebelled against him in so many different ways. I even created a name for myself outside of his legacy. But, I lived in the shadows. I became so scared of stepping out in public. I was afraid to voice my opinion, so I hide behind someone else's name, and even, empire.

I had already made something of myself. I had my products, my creations. They held my name and now it was time to remove myself from the dark shadows and enter into the pit of darkness that was this real world around me. I already had what it took to have my own empire. I just had to prove myself outside of my weapons and the names that supported me. I had to support myself, I had to show these people that I wasn't afraid.

It was harder because I am a woman. Not a lot of people took me seriously and the thought of that also scared me. It made me feel less of myself and that wasn't something that I was going to let happen any longer.

I wasn't going to drastically change myself, but I was going to transition into something that was more, Miley.

I changed into a tight black cocktail dress with a pair of black heals. I let my hair down into curls and put some makeup on. I normally never dressed up, it was considered weak. It also gave the impression that I had a girly side, which was something that I shouldn't flaunt if I wanted to be taken serious. I normally dressed in jeans and a tee shirt most days in order to be seen as tough. But that wasn't who I was. I liked my girly side, and I liked wearing something sexy every once and a while. I think embracing the fact that I really am a woman in a man's world is ballsy but, also bold making me rare. I grabbed my black leather jacket shoving a switch blade into the pocket before leaving my room.

By now, everyone should be awake. I'm sure Jason was trying to figure out what to do about Denver and what to do about this Maximus situation. I have had enough of sitting around waiting for Maximus, or Derek, to make a move. It was time to stir the boiling pot myself.

I walked up to Jason's office in hope to find him and talk some sense into him. When I got to his office. He was standing outside talking to Fringe and Greggory. All of them looked over at me with a shocked look on their face. Jason's face was priceless.

"Jason, we need to talk." Denver said coming from the other direction. He looked at me and his face dropped.

"Maybe we should all go into Jason's office to talk." I said walking inside Jason's office. I walked towards the window and looked outside. I crossed arms and looked behind me to see all of the guys in the office.

"Greggory and Fringe, I would love it if you sat in on this. I mean, we are all in this together, right?" I said with a smile. Fringe nodded and shut the office door.

"Denver, what did you want to talk to Jason about?" I asked looking over at him. He was still shocked and confused at what was going on. I didn't realize that I was that hot.

"That is a conversation for Jason and I to have in private." He said clearing his throat.

"Well, considering I am doing business with Jason, I would like to hear what you have to say." I crossed my arms and looked at him closely.

"I, I don't think that this is a good idea." Jason said shaking his head. He looked completely lost and he couldn't even look at me.

"Why not? We are working together, are we not?" I huffed. "I don't like secrets and I am really getting tired of all this fucking around." I sighed. I was getting angrier.

"You are in my house," Jason spat. He was angry. Had I overstepped? "I make the rules around here, not you." He shook his head. I suppose I did overstep.

"Don't you need my help?" I asked tilting my head to the side. I wasn't in the mood for his shit.

"I am quite capable of taking care of this by myself." He grunted. He appeared to be getting angrier.

"Okay," I nodded. "Well, I am not going to play your little games anymore. Obviously you are scared to make a move and I am getting really tired of fucking around. My team and I will be gone within the next hour." I smiled.

"Excuse me?" He questioned with a chuckle.

"It was a pleasure working with you." I rolled my eyes before walking out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Denver asked. "Your dad is after you. You can't just leave, not now." He grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the room.

"I suggest you get your fucking hands off of me." I said looking up at him. I was standing my ground. He let me go but his face was more confused then ever.

"It's time to make a move. The longer we sit here trying to get all our ducks in a row, the more advantage we give them. I am certainly not scared of my father. If he wants me, he come and get me." I spat.

"You're asking for a death wish." Jason sneered.

"I am?" I laughed. "Look at you. You are so afraid to make a move that you are losing your fucking mind. Maybe we should go find you a slut to fuck and put you in your right fucking mind." I spat. "You want to know why I decided to work with you?" I asked looking at him.

"I decided to work with you because you react on both instinct but you are logical and smart about your moves. I really don't know what fucking happened to you. Maybe your feelings are just really fucked up or something. Its ironic because if anyone should be in their feelings, it should be me. I was the one who carries half his blood around. I am the one that he manipulates. I am the one who should be so scared that I shouldn't be able to move. But, instead of that, I am here trying to put some fucking sense into your damn brain." I said. My blood was now boiling over.

"I am not as stupid as you all think. I know my father. And men like Derek, I have dated every fucking version of him. I know who we are certainly in bed with. You all seem to underestimate me which is a huge mistake." I chuckled while shaking my head. I turned around and left the room. I was still so pissed and I just wanted to punch both Derek and Jason in the damn face.
