Chapter 2

How I was woken up at three o'clock in the morning with that news. 

I spend the rest of the night and the morning in my office coming up with new resources and ideas to solve these problems. 

Of course, I'm hoping there won't be others anytime soon. 

Because trouble attracts trouble. 

I need to make sure you don't spread the word that we've been robbed. 

Even because a thief who steals a thief has up to a hundred years of pardon, I think that's how the saying goes.

I haven't seen Devin since dawn and I appreciate that. 

I don't want a boring atmosphere between us and we have to focus on our current situation. 

Leon, you pay me. 

I made a quick call to hear from one person in particular and refocused.

It was just before one o'clock. 

I reread and signed some papers, but stopped as soon as I saw my cell ring, looked at the screen, and saw Cory's name. 

Finally.

- Give me good news, Cory. 

– I asked as soon as I answered the call.

- You can be carefree, Luh. 

I've already minimized things around here and today we will open earlier, at 19 pm...

Hey?

- What do you mean at 19:00? 

Cory, I opened like 5 pm or earlier – I interrupted him.

Cory chuckled. 

Why is he laughing? 

Don't you see how our situation is?

- Not even if we opened at that time we would be able to recover the money that was stolen. 

- He controls his laughter. 

- So, relax! 

I'll take care of here and you solve things there. 

It's OK?

I closed my eyes and nodded in agreement, but I remembered I was on my cell phone.

- OK. 

And Cory, Thank you.

- No need to thank me, little one. 

Take care, Kisses - Cory says and ends the call.

I ran a hand over my face and put my hair in a loose bun and went back to reading those sheets. 

It is at these times that I miss the adrenaline, going with the boys to pick up the shipment or even robbing one of the banks. 

Feeling danger passing right before my eyes, but with Liam Frey's orders now I have to stay behind a desk or in the club organizing things there.

After a while I heard a knock on the door and I asked to come in, but I didn't take my eyes off the leaves. 

Not how so many came about. 

It seems the more I read and sign the more it appears on this table.

- I contacted Zac.

Devin! 

I set the sheets aside and looked at him.

- Sorry. 

- I won't let him continue. 

- I didn't want to talk to you like that...

It came out so automatic. 

I could die stuck if I didn't speak up soon. 

I couldn't spend all day thinking about it, but I know it would be the first thing I would do as soon as I saw him.

"Hey, it's okay." He smiled.

Devin has such a beautiful smile. 

My friend is very cute. 

He is tall, with a defined body and dark brown eyes. 

He has a shy way that he has nothing to do with being shy and that attracts the girls' attention more.

- No, it's not. 

- I got up and went to him - I didn't want to talk to you like that, but I was stressed and I couldn't hold back...

Devin put his hand on my face and stroked it lightly, smiling.

- Whatever happens, Luna, I'll always be by your side. 

I wasn't hurt, okay? 

I understand your side, let's work it out. 

We sure will.

I smiled and hugged him tight.

[...]

I look at the grand five-star hotel in front of me. 

Why does Zac have to be scared of these hotels? 

He only has egg drool here. 

I roll my eyes. 

That's what he likes. 

Zac loves to get attention and be pampered. 

As he knows so many things about so many important people, I wonder how he is still alive, but that I stayed between us for so long. 

Zac always helps me. 

Of course it has a price, I don't mind. 

Our business is always pleasant.

- Mister Riggs, please - I speak with the receptionist of the hotel restaurant.

- Follow me! 

- She smiled.

And as I followed her, I noticed some eyes on me, I ignored them all hoping to see Zac soon. 

The table he chose was in the middle of the room when we arrived he got up with a smile on his face.

- My beautiful Luna, it's been a while - Zac kissed the corner of my mouth.

Smile at him. 

Zac, pulled out the chair for me to sit like a perfect gentleman.

- I need a favor - I don't waste time and speak as soon as he sits down in front of me.

- And when you don't need it? 

- Zac tilts his head to the side and says ironic - But say what you want?

- I want the location of Leon Morse.

Zac parted his lips a little surprised by my request.

- It will not be easy...

- I know you'll make it...

- You know I want something in return...

- Say your price.

I open my purse ready to sign a check.

- I don't want money and you know it!

- Do not want? 

- I pretended to be confused.

- You look so beautiful in that red dress - Zac smiled mischievously.

Rascal! 

I smiled already understanding what he wanted. 

It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. 

So that's fine by me, he's very good in bed. 

Sometimes we do it for the sake of doing, without having something in return like now. 

It's pretty rare, but it happens.

- OK, but only for one night! 

- Notice.

He raised an eyebrow.

- I should decide...

- My schedule is full, but let's have our night - I got up - Keep me informed and be quick.

He winked at me and nodded.

I left the hotel and soon the valet handed me the key to my gray lamborghini. 

Now it's back to the mansion. 

I hope Zac finds Leon soon. 

I don't like to waste time, I need to prepare my meeting with Leon. 

I think I'll finally feel some of the adrenaline I want so badly. 

Thinking about it makes me smile.

When I arrived at the mansion I received a few looks from the security guards, but it wasn't the look I was used to. 

That look of desire, now it was a different look and some even avoided looking at me. 

I can't help but be intrigued by this, I hurry to get inside soon.

I entered the room and saw Cory leaning against the banister of the stairs and with his head down. 

What is he doing here? 

Oh, Cory doesn't make me stressed about you either.

- Cory, what are you doing here? 

– I went to him – You should be at the club.

Cory looked at me and gave a half smile and then looked behind me.

- I sent him here. 

Hello Luna - That voice...

Damn it! 

Damn it! 

Damn it!

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. 

I couldn't avoid him any longer, so I turned around and saw him right there in my living room. 

It's real. 

Liam Frey was here. 

After 3 years away and now he's here in front of me. 

Shit! 

All my fears surfaced, not fear of Liam, but fear of our past.
