“Yes, I can stay here and die. Or learn something new and change my life. What will I be learning?”
“Does that even matter?”
“No, not really,” she gives a small scoff. “As long as I’m not selling my body, anything is better than here.”
“You won’t have to sell your body, but I’ll teach you how to use it as a weapon. You will become feared and not the other way around. We pay well and all we ask is for your loyalty and respect.”
“Reeshemah, who the fuck you in here talking to?”
The way she jumps makes me furious. I turn slowly as the heavy footfalls move toward us. Donny comes into view, and I snort. He’s a big guy, but that doesn’t faze me.
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Rude much?”
“You’re in my house, bitch. I said, who the fuck are you?”
“I got your bitch.”
“Please don’t. His brother is a cop. He’ll make this worse for us.”
“I don’t give a fuck if his brother is the head of the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Justice. If he calls me out my name again, he’s going to need the world’s finest detective to find his ass.” He looks like he’s going to make a move. “Oh, honey, try me. I break dudes like you down for fun. And there’s a big motherfucker outside just waiting to put his hands on you. Make my fucking day.”
Just then, Jace appears. I point at him. “See.” I give a smug smile.
“Reeshemah, you’ve got five seconds to get these people out of my house.”
“Or what?” I say with my gun drawn, silencer already in place. “Sweetheart, you don’t need a thing from here. We’ll give you a fresh start. So are you going with option one or two?”
“Either way, he’s going to kill me,” she sobs.
I pull the trigger and holster my gun, then turn to face her. “Now, what was that?”
“Oh, my God,” she breathes as if taking a breath for the first time ever.
“I’ll get a cleaner,” Jace murmurs.
I tilt my head to the side. “So what will it be?”
“Option two.” She nods frantically.
“You’re twenty-three, Reeshemah. Your life is just getting started. I promise, it gets better from here.”
She runs to me and wraps me in a hug. I hold her tight and rock her as she shakes with tears. This one feels right. I don’t question if she needs us. I know she does.
CHAPTER40
Beauty
Jace
My palms aresweaty as I sit dressed in a tux in the living room of this hotel suite. I’m waiting for Ny to finish getting ready. I’ve been planning this for years. My moment to take her on the perfect first date.
It couldn’t be any small gesture. Even after having the money to do this for her, I wanted to think and plan it out. This needed to be something planned just for her.
When she comes out of the bedroom in the sparkling black floor-length gown, I almost swallow my tongue as I stand and stare. She’s breathtaking.
The bob she used to wear has grown out. Her hair now reaches between her shoulder blades, but tonight she has it in big curls that rest over her right shoulder. The strapless gown hugs her body and places her breasts on display.
