I got the burgers for me and Larry and went home. I noticed I was struggling to walk. It looked like I was drugged or something, but I struggled to the hotel, always watching my back to see if I was being followed.When I got to Larry’s room, I waved the burgers to him but was so tired that I told him I needed to rest my head and I dived on his bird and slept off.Well, that was my version of how I got to Larry’s bed in my head before I woke up.I woke up to see Larry by my side. It was a little cloudy but I could tell he was the one sitting by my side. I couldn't miss his body shape and structure even in the dark.Hello Larry, what happened?" I asked Larry as the pictures became clearer."The rest that you refused to have has caught up with you," Larry said."I don't understand, I never told you I wanted to rest," I said."Yes, and that's the reason. You fainted, Casie, you need rest, not because of you but because of your baby," Larry said.I knew I needed rest after all we had been

Larry left me in the hospital to get things in place. He had already contacted the Martinez Gang. It was good business for them. Since cutting ties with the contractor, their finances have more than tripled as they have no longer had to pay fees and receive funds from the top. It was a very good deal and with the security I provided them, it would be difficult to take them back to the Contractor. For every job I got, it was a sixty/forty share and it made each party smile to the bank with enough funds.Doctor Jake came for his usual check. He was happy that I was getting the rest I needed. If only he knew what was going on in my mind or what I might have to tell him to do if he extended my days in the Hospital.I was not comfortable staying in the hospital. I was exposed with Larry gone and I was still feeling a little weak. If the Contractor can get to the Senate President and Senator Alby, he can get to me too. I thought about it for some time. I should leave the hospital to avoid h

Marvin was excited about the court judgment. It meant a win for him and, of course, knowing who Uncle Jonah was, we had advised him to be careful because Uncle Jonah wanted everything. It was glaring to see that June had helped in all of this, but she was getting paid also.The only person not getting paid was me! Yes, what I have been compensated in exchange for that, is the baby in my belly. Larry was happy that things looked like they were finally getting over. He does not mind not getting paid. The whole scene had looked chaotic from the first day I agreed to take the contract.I was making millions of dollars even though I was not getting paid by Marvin, and I was also not being paid by Sacho, being the head of the Martinez Gang. Everyone knew he was a figurehead of its operation and that I was the brain behind the organization.“The Senate President wants a meeting, Cassie,” Larry said.“Tell him, we will let him know when we are free,” I said, not minding that he was one of ou

After Uncle Jonah and his son, Lucas, had left the office. It was quiet for the three of us. I was sure that neither Larry nor Marvim was quite sure what to say. Larry knew about the contract to kill Marvin’s father but no one knew that the order to kill came from one of the Simpsons. It was from Lucas.“Marvin, are you okay,” I said, attempting to break the silence that had now engulfed our space and made us strangers to one another. I knew this was what Incle Jonah wanted to cause this so that Marvin could be exposed. It was simple to see, only if Marvin could let go of his emotions and see what his Uncle was trying to do to us. I should have told him earlier but there were so many things to tell, and I do not think that he would have taken it lightly. My love for him keeps exposing me and this is where I needed to be careful. I need Marvin and his money in order to control the Martinez Gang.“Marvin, please I would beg that you should be wise about any decision you want to make. T

As we got into the car after the meeting, Martin was shocked and raged at the same time. He felt I had used him to earn a cheap score with the Senator. He banged the door of the car and looked at me.“What was that for? You do not think you could carry me along in your new scheme? We are supposed to be a team, but instead, you operate in the shadow of deception. I am tired of this Cassie, Larry, is this how you operate with her?” Marvin said with so much vehemence in him.“Are you asking me a question, or are you accusing me? Could you pick a side at least?” I asked, smiling as he was acting like a little boy.“I guess I am doing both as you refused to let me in on anything,” he said.“Listen, Marvin, I want you to know that everything I do is for you and your unborn children yet to come. Like I said earlier, all truths can not be revealed to you at the same time for your sake. I will do some now because you need to know,” I said.I explained to Marvin how I and Larry have been workin
