Chapter 21: Mind Your Damned Business
Jason bent his head as he huffed a silent laugh. The call went dead silent, too, save for Layla's frantic breathing on the other end of the line. "No," he said after taking his damned time and taunting her. Layla rushed, begging him, "No?! Jason, please. I'll pay back. I promise." "You are not more important to me than my education, Layla. I have to get to class." "But please!" Layla was desperate on her end. "I'll do anything you want. Just don't abandon me now." "Abandon? Do you have amnesia, or have you forgotten that you have a boyfriend? Get the fuck off my phone—" "Wait! Rick is..." she took a breather, obviously hiding something. "I've been trying to get a hold of him, but he's been AWOL since yesterday. Look, Jason. These people might actually kill me if you don't help." "Then, just die." "You don't mean that." Jason pressed end, showing her that he meant just that. He slung the arm of his bag over his shoulder, pulling it closer as he walked through the lobby on t

Chapter 22: Uber Boy and His Slut
Jason ignored Layla, who knelt at his feet. He locked eyes with the man called Tegan. "So,what did she do?" It was the boss who responded to him, "Your bitch dared slap my right hand man and humiliate him." Layla butted in. "That's not true! He tried to make a pass at me, so I set him straight—" "Bitches don't have a working brain, I see!" Tegan snarled, shutting her up before turning to Jason. "You've had your question and answer session, but I just can't figure out what a mere Uber driver is doing here." " Does it matter if I'm a driver or not?" Jason frowned, even though he was unsure of how Tegan knew him. Tegan stood in his face, but Jason didn't back down. He faced him head on. "Why don't you scram, Uber boy? Before I put a bullet through your fucking skull." "You better watch your tongue" Jason stared at him, narrowing his eyes. Tegan scoffed, shoving Jason once. "You carried me the other day for $30. Have you come here to beg for more loose change?" Jason ignored hi

Chapter 23: At Your Beck and Call
Layla stopped struggling, returning back to those scary men had no place on her to-do list. And Jason seemed furiously sexy as he held her down against this wall. She wondered if he still hadn't gotten over her. He still wanted her, Layla thought. There was no doubt about that. "Don't tell me..." Layla stopped, lowering her eyes seductively to his lips. "You are still in love with me?" Jason went silent. His expression was blank, and Layla had stupidly read meaning into that, thinking she had him caught red-handed. A part of her felt pleased that she could be this irresistible to a man. Even though Jason earned his money through illegal means, which she was so sure of, there would be no harm in her benefiting from him and Rick. He had money to offer her now. It would be a win-win. "I would rather not go back to those monsters. Take me to your bed, then," she purred. Jason bobbed his head, taking his time before moving away from her face. He was playing a game, and he was so goo

Chapter 24: You Are The Boss
There were names that one would hear and instantly freeze at the idea that you've not only heard but seen the faces behind these names. What he just heard was a name this city defined as power. Jason didn't know much until Raymond's call changed his life that evening, but he had heard of this name. Think of how "Escobar" was so popular in the world of cartels. Logan Kane had just as much effect on anyone who heard it. "Holy shit," Jason muttered, and the man spared a faint smile. "There's no time to lose. You can get in, Young master. Raymond said that you have a mission for me." Jason bobbed his head, following his outstretched arm and sliding into the back seat of the flashy black car. When they both settled in, the car's engine roared to life. Logan Kane drove Jason out of the hotel's premises, acting like a chauffeur. Throughout, shock hummed through Jason. He couldn't believe it. A while later. The car pulled to a stop before a tall gate. It rolled away immediately, and L

Chapter 25: Snooze and Lose
Jason sat back in the arm chair. His mind circled around ways he could make Tegan Olsen pay for how he treated him at the bar and for everything he had done to Mila. Logan was onto something and he had already become fond of the man for his quick wits.Logan said, “The government is developing a deserted area in the city. They are clearing forests and turning the area into an industrial hub. Every one with an eye for money has taken interest.”“Save for me. I’m just hearing about this.” Jason tapped the arm rest of the chair a couple of times. “Maybe Raymond thought it best to not mention it.”Logan laughed. “Others may have an eye for money but you are money, young master, and that’s a big difference.”Jason didn’t join in. He still worked his mind through everything the man had just divulged. In the next few years, this newly opened area would become a buzz. Anyone who got their hands on it now could become a billionaire.“You flatter me, but I’m still interested in this land sale.”

Chapter 26: The Mob's Fool
The crowd gasped, especially at the look of the man who just challenged the highest bid. Jason wasn't exactly dressed like a man who had a fortune to his name. Heads turned, and he chuckled under his breath. The real fun was only getting started.Tegan roared back. "30 million."Murmurs sprang up. The hall was anything but quiet. He crossed his leg over the other and said, "50 million dollars."For a land in a lucrative spot, one would spend a lot of money without a second thought, but at the rate Jason was going, it was pure madness. Tegan was going for one of the best lands available in the area. It would yield him a lot of money. However, Jason was interested in knowing how far he would want to go in getting what he wanted."60 million!"Jason countered immediately. "70 million dollars."Tegan's face turned red from where he sat amongst the crowd. He sat a few rows behind Jason, and he couldn't see the face of the man playing with him. He wanted that land. He had a lot to lose if h

Chapter 27: Strip Clubs Don’t Bite
Logan insisted that they celebrate their big win. He was just getting to know the man, so Jason accepted to have a drink or two. But he was tricked into visiting a strip club.“This deceit will reflect on your salary, Logan.”“Your family pays me so well that a cut won’t even be significant.” Logan tossed him a grin before getting down and opening his door for him. “A strip club.” Jason voiced his thoughts out loud. He shook his head. “I don’t usually visit places like these.”“There’s a first time for everyone.” That toothy grin remained on the man’s handsome face.“You sound like Raymond.”Logan chuckled as they approached the entrance. “The old man does rub off on people, but a strip club doesn’t bite. Come on, it’s just one night, Young Master.”Jason sighed, “It’s only because you sound really convincing.”They walked into the building. Logan greeted the bouncer at the entrance and Jason was easily unnoticed because of his dressing. They settled down amongst the crowd, on their o

Chapter 28: Trading With The Devil
Jason was speechless. The dancer quickly recovered from the shock of seeing him, too. She wore her mask and continued dancing to the song like that encounter didn't just happen. His American history professor. He couldn't unsee the face the fallen mask had revealed. It was her. Jason looked over his shoulder, but she had already disappeared further into the crowd, entertaining the men ogling her hot body. His head wanted to explode from trying to piece the puzzle of her appearance here. "What the..." Logan returned to their booth, interrupting him. "I didn't find anything, Young Master. Where did the girls go?" Jason ignored him, still dazed and in shock. This was the last place he could have ever expected a reunion to occur. Logan understood he wasn't going to get an answer, so he went in search of them alone. A while later. Jason scrolled through social media and stumbled upon Tegan’s public apology. Tegan had tagged him to the post where he was in nothing but underwear as he

Chapter 29: Lip-Locked
"Would I come here if I stole it? We are not strangers, yet it seems you know nothing about me, Darius." Logan treaded carefully with his words, seeing that his boss's life was in danger. "I don't know. It just baffles me that you are here to trade for that bustard's life. 200 million is not chicken change." Jason scoffed loudly. It was to him, but that piece of information wasn't something Darius and his men needed to know. "The Uber boy and I will take our leave now that we've gotten our message across." Logan and Jason turned away, heading for the entrance, but Darius cleared his throat behind them. They stopped. "I hope we don't meet under these circumstances next time." Darius paused for effect. "And don't bring the extra next time." Jason muttered under his breath and to Logan's hearing alone. "You will eat your words soon, Darius Rickard." A few moments later. Logan and Jason were settled in their car. They were headed for Jason's run-down apartment, which he shared with

Chapter 30: Countdown To Death
Jason staggered, eyes mirroring his professor's popped ones. This was the most awkward situation to have ever happened. She said, cheeks hot red, "How dare you?!" "I think you kissed me, Professor Scott." Jason countered, equally flustered. He took more steps backwards as if that would be enough to erase the last two minutes. "I did no such thing!" Jason threw his hands in the air. "But you fell on—" "Oh, please! Don't act like you didn't already want that to happen." She jabbed a finger against his hard chest, glowering. What worried him most was the fact that her fit of anger had closed the distance between them again. He was wary of the lack of personal space. "I don't secretly lust after my teachers even after I've seen them in lingerie." Jason snapped. Her face couldn't get any more red, but it did. She fumed, living on embarrassment. He had finally put it out there. The truth about last night and the double life she's living. "What I do and why I do the things I do is n
