"You think you better than me?"
She said with tears in her eyes. I could hear her voice damn near cracking as she finished her sentence. I ain't tryna do this right now. I got shit to take care of but I can't find it in myself to see her like this, especially over me. I know I ain't shit, so Ima need her to realize that as well.
"Nah, that's not it." I say forcing a smirk at her.
"Then why are you pushing me away?"
Damn. I haven't really noticed what I was doing until shorty mentioned it. I feel for her but the minute I give in some shit gonna go wrong I just know it. I'm use to people saying they love me and they care about me but people change every day. Just like the mutha' fuckin weather. Shit don't hurt me no more, until I seen my shorty cry. Damn. She got me.
I sat there in the passengers seat speechless for a minute before responding.
"Because...that's what I'm good at."

Athens is not a place for tourism. Not many people who visit, make it out alive. Vicki, 16, has finally found a home willing to adopt her after 6 years of jumping from home to home, family to family, foster to foster. Some were good. Some bad. Some could, would, and did the unthinkable. But now she didnt have to deal with that. But she had no idea of the secrets that the friendly "welcome to Athens" sign hides. Or did she?

There are gangs in every country, some even I don't know as a leader." "Is it tough being a leader?" "Some times. Especially when I have to deal with loss. But I also give some opportunities to people who need it. I've even given a homeless man a small job and it set him up for life." "That's cool. Are the Zusians tyrants. I mean were they?" something about the name doesn't shake me. It's stuck in my head for some reason. "They more are now. There's speculation that a kid got out safe and will one day take back the leadership, but after seeing the wreckage first hand, I don't think anybody left it alive," he says it. But he doesn't sound like he even believes himself. "Did the kid get out? Is it even slightly possible?" "Between you and me. I helped her escape. I know she got out. But I don't think she lived long after we lost contact. Why do you ask?" "Something about the name... It is vaguely familiar but I don't know why. Maybe it's just my meds."

Seductive Revenge
Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be. She has learnt to be strong, both physically and emotionally. She has learnt that people should never be trusted, that they'll only fuck you over with time. She has undergone trials worse than death and came out stronger than ever. And...She has set out on a mission, to destroy the two people who ruined her life. By taking away the reason her best friend betrayed her, Zaine, while also planning to shatter his heart in the process, like he shattered hers. She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.

The Game Changer (Blake) 3 ✔️
Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."Complete
Enchanted
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete
