A Little Sane

Chapter 84

Mercedes instantly looked at Jerome when her phone rang. 

"It's an unknown number..."

Mercedes right arm started to shake until Jerome gently held it. He nodded.

"It's okay.. answer it.."

Mercedes answered the phone and let one breath.

"Are you ready to come back to me?"

Her eyes fell on Jerome. He nodded. She closed her eyes and spoke.

"Yes.."

"Get here now."

The phone went silent. Mercedes stood up from the table. Jerome followed her into their room. Mercedes finally walked out of their closet. She frowned. Jerome tilted his head confused. She sighed.

"Well, I don't look very appealing in maternity clothes.."

Jerome smiled and shook his head. He pulled her towards him.

"Doll face you're always sexy."

Mercedes laughed. She stared up at Jerome.

"Are you ready..?"

Mercedes let out a heavy breath.

"Yes. Let's go." 

Mercedes stared at the window the whole drive to Diablo's. Jerome parked the car. Mercedes turned to him. 

"I'll know you'll be good at sneaking in somehow, but could you maybe... try not to take too long..?"

Jerome laughed then sighed.

"Go ahead.."

Mercedes stood in front of Diablo's desk as he stared at her. She didn't dare speak. Diablo set up straighter. He finally spoke.

"You came here so quickly and willingly."

Mercedes stepped forward.

"I wanted to apologize..."

Diablo laughed and stood up from his desk.

"You want to apologize for talking about killing me?"

Diablo stood inches from Mercedes angry. 

"You want to explain to me why you thought you could just try and kill me?! Did you really think you could trick me?!"

Mercedes froze. She sighed.

"I.. thought.. if I could get rid of you.. I'd get of my... problem.."

Diablo narrowed his eyes. Mercedes finally looked Diablo in the eyes and smirked. He tilted his head intrigued. Mercedes slowly walked around him and stopped next to his desk.

"You didn't have to hurt Abbe..."

Diablo chuckled.

"No I did. You had to be taught a lesson." 

Mercedes slowly turned to face his desk. She closed her eyes and silently let out a heavy breath. Jerome had found the secret entrance through the bookshelf. He slowly cracked it to see what was going on. Diablo slowly walked towards Mercedes. He made the other two men in the room leave.

"I know what your problem was."

Mercedes stayed still as she felt Diablo gently press against her. 

"You do..?"

Diablo chuckled. Jerome glared as Diablo ran his hands up her sides. He pulled her hair behind her shoulder and kissed her neck.
