Girl In The City

17.| Secrets unravel.

As the plane lands everything starts to sink in.

Keegan and I had been at the Bahamas for about 3 weeks or so.
It was 3 weeks of pure bliss and no worries.

It was fun and all but now we have to get back to our lives.
We're not moving back to our penthouses from when I first but we are moving to another house.

Although I had Keegan all to myself for 3 weeks he still hasn't really properly explained his reason for sign all his assets to me.

I stand up as we descend the plane and feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket.

Who could it be?
I don't usually get text messages from anyone except Keegan.

I pull out my phone and check for Keegan behind me.
He's still taking some of our luggage that was inside the plane with us.
I turn back to my phone and open the message.

Unknown: Meet me at La Contenta mexican restuarant at 5pm. Don't bring Keegan along.
~ M

I furrow my eyebrows.
Who could this be?
Should I tell Keegan?

"Anything wrong?" Keegan asks from behind me and I quickly switch my phone off, shoving back into my pocket.

"No." I say high pitched. "Let's go home." I give him a peck on the lips.

___________________________________________________________

I sigh.
I feel so guilty for doing this. It's 5 pm and I'm sitting in this mexican restuarant waiting for who ever "M" is.

I look around the resturant to calm my nerves a little.
The restaurant is nice and colorful with cultural patterns.
It kind of reminds me of South Africa and it's many cultures with different colors and patterns for each culture.
Now I actually miss being home on Heritage day where we celebrate our diversity as a diverse country.

The door opens and my jaw clenches.
"Hi Letta." She says sweetly as she sits in front of me.

The nerve this bitch has.
"What are you doing here?" I glare daggers at here.

"I sent you the message. Glad to see Keegan isn't here. Have you ordered?" She says nonchalantly.

She calls a waiter and orders for both of us and faces me once the waiter is gone.

"Margaret why'd you send me the message?" I stare at her coldly.

"To help you." She sighs exasperatedly.

I furrow my eyebrows. "Help me? With what?"

"With this whole situation. With Keegan, Jake and the FBI. I know that Keegan went to the FBI hoping to pin everything on Jake when in reality there's more to what he claims about this whole situation." She explains and I raise one eyebrow.

She looks at me with guilty eyes amd sighs heavily.
"Keegan lied to you. About majority of the things you know about the rings." She begins and I scowl at her.

"Jake is or was tormenting you because Keegan hasn't been playing his part in the ring."

"What part? Keegan said that Jake was the main man." I pinch my brows together.

"No, well yes but not really. Jake was the main man in the human trafficking ring while Keegan was the main in the drug cartel." She said and I frown. "They built the empire together but it was originally started by Keegan so when things got good in the drug ring, Jake built his human trafficking ring that was in partnership with Keegan's ring." She says and my frown deepens.

"Why are you telling me this?" I lift one brow.

"Because you deserve the truth." She says and I roll my eyes.

"Aren't you the one that lied to Keegan for seven years about Henry being Keegan's son?" I spit with disgust.

"What? Keegan knew about Henry." She says seeming a little confused and I stare at her with a flabbergasted expression. "When we were in college I was a loose bitch and I admit that. So I got pregnant with someone else's child. Keegan was upset but he stayed and when the actual baby daddy died, Keegan and I had to share custody when we divorced." She explains and I close my eyes thinking how Keegan lied.

"Why are you telling me all of this? For all I know you could be lying." I sigh exhausted.

As Margaret is about answer me, the waiter arrives with the food. I smile at her and Margaret thanks her as she leaves.

"I'm telling you this because you're the only one who can help me and you deserve the truth seeing that your life is at risk." She takes a bite of her food. "Jake...he...he needs to die for all of this to send. I know it seems dodgy that I'm saying this because he and I are together but I'm only with him to figure out a way to end this, all of it."

"I need to talk to Keegan." I stand up and she stands up with me.

"Please get him on board because we really need to end this shit. I can't live a life fearing for me and my son that something could happen to us." She stares at me with pleading eyes.

"I'll do my best." I say and leave the restaurant.

I head home and all I can think about it one thing.
Keegan lied.
Keegan lied to me!
