SANTIAGO 2

10 | New Start

The muffled sound of screaming woke Lucy up from her slumbers. She hated this house now, it's been a whole year she had to be there just to check a nigga, now she's back there to check a bitch. She rolled her eyes, as she went to the bathroom to clean herself up before going downstairs.
She'd been letting her friends beat the hell out of Keisha for the past 2 days, and now she was just tired of it.

"Keisha, shut the fuck up. Damn, do you ever go to sleep? You don't really think anyone is going to hear you, do you?" Lucy asked as she sat in the chair in front of Keisha.

"Look you can have your nigga back, just let me go." Keisha tried to compromise.

"Bitch what? If I wanted him back, I would've had him. Trust I let you keep him." Lucy laughed at how naive Keisha was. Corey could never leave Lucy alone, no matter what.

"If that's what you tell yourself at night." Keisha mocked.

Before Lucy could response, the basement door bust opened, a swat team of men came in pointing guns. Lucy rolled her eyes as they began to point guns at them.
She watched as two men calmly walked down stairs, she was completely shocked when she saw Kwan and Steven walk down.

"What are yall doing here?" Lucy asked pulling Kwan to the side.

"Is this the woman? Is this why you left Korea?" He asked.

Lucy was a bit reluctant to tell him, she stayed quiet and before she could answer him, he pulled out a gold pistol with a matching silencer, putting it to Keisha's head causing her to scream.

"What do you want us to do with her, Lucy." Kwan asked taking the safety off the gun.

Lucy rubbed her temple as she thought, as much as she wanted Kwan to put a bullet in that bitch head, she couldn't have that on her conscience.  "Just... just get this bitch out of my sight. I don't ever want to see her again." Lucy said.

Kwan nodded as his men took Keisha out the house through the back door.

"Kwan, where are they taking her?" She asked.

"My men will make sure, there's no trace of her ever being here." He smiled.

"Thank you, Kwan." Lucy said giving him a hug before they went back upstairs together.

"Uhhh, bitch what the hell is going on?" Monie asked as she sat with the others on the couch.

"This is Kwan.. Kwan these are my cousins, Monie and MiMi , and my best friends, Jordan and Envy." Lucy said introducing her friends to Kwan.

"Nice to meet you all." Kwan said.

"Well Lucy, how about we get out of here. Let's get something to eat." Kwan suggested as he held Lucy's hand, leaving the old manor.

********************************************

"So how did you find me?" Lucy asked as they took a walk on her private beach.

"Steven and I had a little talk with your drive, you were so out of it that you didn't even noticed, it wasn't your usual driver." Kwan admitted.
"Where's Bernard?" Lucy asked concerned.

"He's fine, Lucy. I just had to make sure you were ok." Kwan said turning towards Lucy. He stared into her eyes speechless by her beauty.

"You got a staring problem, you know that?"  Lucy chuckled.

"Yeah yeah yeah." Kwan laughed.

********************************************
The two were mia the whole day, once they made it back to Lucy's Miami home, everyone was asleep as Kwan's people monitored the premises.

"Your house should be clean now, Lucy. No trace of your enemy will lead back to your home." Kwan announced as he kissed Lucy's forehead.

"Thanks... but you didn't have to do that... she had a child." Lucy said feelings bad.

"She will stay alive until your call Lucy... we won't hurt a hair on her head until you say so." Kwan assured. It kind of made Lucy get chills though her spine at so much authority Kwan was giving her and she like it.

Lucy nodded before walking inside the house. They went straight up to the master bedroom as they talked and laughed until they fell asleep.

Lucy woke up to the pounding of the door when she noticed a little note on the pillow.
I had an amazing time yesterday with you, despite the little problem. I had to handle some business back home, but I'll call you later, you might notice your entire security team changed, Pashian told me everything. I will protect you now.

-K

Lucy smiled at the note before realizing the banging was still coming from the front door. She put on her rob before walking downstairs.
She noticed the change in security that Kwan mentioned. A big bald Korean man stood downstairs waiting for Lucy in an all black tailored suit.

"Good morning, Ms. Santiago. My name is Se Jun, I will be your new bodyguard. Breakfast is ready, and there's a Corey Karim at the door. Should we let him in?" He asked as he followed Lucy to the kitchen.

Lucy rolled her eyes before sitting down at the kitchen table, as her Korean maids stood in front of table with a smile.

"Good Morning, Ms. Santiago. We are your new waitstaff, my name is Miyh Wong, and this is Ji Su" She smiled as she bowed.

"Hello, Miyh. Ji Su. It's nice to meet you. Everything looks wonderful. Yall can join me if you want." Lucy said as she began to dig in.

Miyh and the other woman nodded with a smile as they sat down to join her.

"Ms. Santiago, I know you're enjoying breakfast, but you still have a visitor at the door." Se Jun, the new bodyguard said.

"Let him in please, Se Jun." Lucy said taking a sip of her OJ.

"Who the fuck are you? Where the fuck is Lucy?" Corey yelled, but Se Jun didn't flinch. He wasn't at all intimidated by Corey. He chuckled before leading Corey to the kitchen.

"Can you tell me what the fuck is going on Lucy? Who the fuck is all these people in my house?" Corey asked losing his cool as Lucy remained unbothered.

"First of all, Mr. Karim, this is MY home. As we decided in the divorce agreement. Secondly, I don't know what you're talking about." Lucy said as Miyh and Ji Su cleaned the table.

"Where's Keisha?" He asked as he clinched his jaw.

Lucy couldn't help but laugh,"You really going to clench your jaw at me cause your little side hoe went missing?" She asked walking past him.

"I mean, why would you even come here? How you know I would want to fuck with her?" Lucy added.

"Black told me, you and your little wannabe gangsta crew came busting in my crib. You know how disrespectful that shit is, Lucy?! If you were anybody else I'd lit this motherfucking place up." Corey yelled.

"Then do it, Corey." Pashian laughed as she walked downstairs alongside the others.
Without hesitation Corey pulls out his .45 pointing it towards Pashian and the others, when security bust through the doors all pointing their guns at Corey.

They began to yell at him in Korean as they all pointed their guns directly at him.
"Corey, it's time for you to leave." Lucy said as she walked in front of Pashian.

Corey nodded as he slowly put his gun down. He chuckled a little while rubbing the hair on his chin."This the game, you want to play? Bet. I'll see you soon Lucy." He said walking to his car before speeding out the drive way.

She rolled her eyes as Corey's words played in her head all day long.
