(Back to Kierra's POV)

I don't even get the chance to dwell on the fact that Jordan says he loves me because the look on his face is pure fury. The only reason i know he won't hurt me is because over the past week, I've come to trust him 100%. Also, the hand that he isn't using to hold himself up, is tracing patterns under my shirt on my stomach.

"I don't know who it is. I didn't tell you because I thought they had the wrong number." He looks at me in disbelief even before I started talking. Over the past week, I've realized that he can tell when I'm lien and I can tell when he lien.

The hand rubbing my belly stopped and it came to gently carass my cheek. He leaned in even closer so our lips are brushing. "You lying to me is not answering my question. For once you need to trust me and tell me what the fuck is going on." I can tell he's angry because he never curses at me.

It hurts when he says i don't trust him because I do. I'm just scared to tell him who. He said if I ever told anyone he would kill them.

Jordan's Poimt Of View:
Her mind is racing. I can tell. As the seconds tick she goes from starting to tell me, to scared. I've come to realize not to push on that subject. I know it's the same subject because it's a different type of fear than the other type of fear she has.

I sigh and realize I'm going to have to handle this situation better. I get her phone and get out the bed, walking out the room. I know she's scared of this building so I walk slow until I know she's right behind me. I walk into the main room and call Travis. (T- Travis J-Jordan)

T-What up
J-I need a favor
T-You never need a favor. What's this about.
J-Kierra
T-I'm on my way.

With that, I hang up. Everyone arounds me already know how I feel about Kierra and would give their life for her. He knows where I'm at because each of us has a tracker in us incase something happens, including Jess and my mom. I guess Kierra needs one now.

Kierra comes from where she has been silently listening in the corner. I turn around as I hear her approaching. She has tears in her eyes and she looks guilty. "I'm sorry. I know you deserve the truth, but I can't tell you. It's for your safety." She looks conflicted and frustrated.

I walk towards her and put my finger under her chin making her look at me. I gently kiss her but stops before it turns too heated. "I understand how you think this is best. But Babygirl, I can take care of myself. You are my priority and you're making it hard to make sure you're ok."

She looks up at me. Her eyes are searching mine. "He has the power to know if someone knows who he is. I know that for a fact. I tried to tell someone before. And that person ended up dead 3 hours later. I cannot let that happen to you. I won't."

I know it must be hard for her. Going through something and not being able to talk about it to anyone. Wait. She says he has the power to know if she tells someone who he is. That means he has something on her to hear her conversations and he bugged her phone. Just then there are 7 knocks on the door. By the second knock I pick Kierra up and take her to one of the secure rooms.

"Jordan! What are you doing. It could be Travis or Lontavious. Or even Jr or Justin. Why are you carrying me?" I tune her out while she's talking and focus on the door. I know whoever it is, is not getting in but I'm not taking any chances. Not with Kierra here. I get to the door and open it. It's a secret door and you don't know it's there unless someone tells you. I put Kierra down and wrap my arms around her waist.

"It's not anyone we know because they didn't pause the full 5 seconds before they continued to knock. The door won't open, but I'm not underestimating them."
