***Adonis POV***

We had just left the restaurant and i was now driving tasha back to her apartment. I could hear her talking to me but i wasn't listening to shit she was saying because the only thing i could think about was that kiss.

I don't know what the hell came over me i just couldn't help myself. She was just so damn beautiful. When i saw her standing there with her golden blond hair and her skin shining in the sun, it was like i was hypnotized.

I don't think i've ever felt this way about a woman before. I barely knew her but she had me going crazy. I know one thing though, Elle banks was going to be mine, and that's for damn sure.

"ADONIS !" i heard tasha yell, snaping me out of my thoughts. I hadn't even realized we were already at her apartment

"Huh ?" 

"Baby are you alright ? you've been really quiet since we left the restaurant " she looked concerned

"I'm fine aunt tasha... i just have a lot on my mind right now"

She gave me a knowing look that told me she didnt believe me. "Well alright... if you say you're fine i'll just leave it alone" she unbuckled her seat belt and got ready to get out the car but i stopped her

"Aunt tasha... how do you know elle ?" i asked

She sighed deeply and sat back in her seat. "I met her when she was a little girl..."

I could tell this was going to be a long story so i cut the engine and waited for her to continue.

"When me and your father fell out and he stopped giving me money, i had to figure out a way to support my drug habit .... one day an old boyfriend of mine came to me and said he had an easy opportunity to make some money. I was a little apprehensive at first but i needed the cash so i agreed. He told me he had this little girl... he said he wanted me to make her look like the perfect doll..."

she smiled and looked out into space "she was the most beautiful little girl i had ever seen, with a head full of long brown curly hair and big brown eyes... her eyes... they looked so sad...i could tell she had seen too much with those big brown eyes. Anyways... all i did was dye her hair blond and dress her up in some new clothes. One day, i came over and got her dressed again, then i watched mac put her in the back of his car and drive away. That was the last day i ever saw either of them again. She's the reason i decided to get clean, she reminded me of what i used to be before i let drugs control my life" she sighed and looked out the window

"How does she know my father" i asked

"Let me finish..."

I nodded my head and waited for her to continue

"Anyways... i thought she was dead until three months ago i got a call from someone saying that kaio was dead and i needed to come to the airport. Imagine my surprise when i saw her standing outside waiting for me... she wasn't a little girl anymore but somehow i knew it was her. Her hair was the same and her eyes... they were dark and haunted. She had nothing except the clothes on her back and a grey safety deposit box. I took her back here and we talked. She told me that Kaio saved her from mac and then took her to Jamaica and raised her as his own."

"So he's dead ?" i asked in disbelief

She nodded her head and wiped a tear "Yeah he's dead... murdered."

"How is that possible ?" My father was the most powerful drug lord in Jamaica, he was untouchable. I couldn't believe someone had actually succeeded in killing him

"I don't know baby... i think you two should sit down and have a conversation though. You both have questions that need to be answered... and you should probably talk about that kiss too"
