••••🍀RACHEL🍀
I was introduced to the members of the gang.
They were all tough looking and dangerous enough to shake you off.
Rumbo Jack, the tallest amongst them all.
About 7ft 3inches tall with long, wavy dirty blonde hair.
He was more muscular than the rest and he was called the gang's muscle.
I was told he specializes in the use of knives and daggers and was more deadly than a raging bull.
He had no tattoos on his body and he always had a mean look on his hardened face.
Real name, Jack Lansing.Storm, the big brains, the hacker. Real name,Michael Angelo.
Not all that tall,5ft 9,with thick black short hair,styled in a Mohawk.
He wore nerd glasses and he had a tattoo sleeve on his left arm. He is the one that does all the underground jobs and the hacking. According to Jake,he could hack into every bank in the country but that will only attract the attention of the FBI,so he only hacked into big organizations,siphoning their money and transferring all of it into a reserved account handled by an associate.
Black Ace,the second tallest and biggest guy in the clique.
Black American,7ft 1inch tall,bald headed with tattoos all over his two arms,his neck and his left cheek.
Studs on his two earlobes and a nose ring.
He looked like a criminal who just got out of jail and he looked frightening each time he frowns. They say,he was once a ring fighter.Ice cold. Real name,Shawn Gomez.
To be honest with you,I like this guy.
As his name depicts,he was very calm and quiet.
You could underestimate this guy but girl! You would be shocked out of your skin.
Not too tall but taller than storm. He is good with the machine guns and long range guns. A former assassin and now,he works for Jake.
I don't doubt his usefulness to the gang but he was more than useful if I was to analyze him properly. This guy had no tattoos on his body,he didn't even look like he could hurt a fly.
He always had this innocent look on his face,minding his own business and spoke few times to just look alive.
He was not that attractive but his smile could make your heart melt. Don't judge a book by its cover though,one mistake and he'd put a bullet in your head.J
ay Buster,the blonde dude that dragged Eddy in the other time with Black Ace.
The third tallest guy in the gang,about 7ft tall with a very bulky build.
He is as big as Rumbo Jack but he was more handsome and easygoing. He was always smiling at me each time our eyes met.
He looks like one I can relate with better and I can't wait to get to know him.
Jay Buster is really skillful with the guns and according to Jake,he is as swift as a moving bullet when it comes to shooting.
Billy,Billy Rorschach,the one with the connections as regards housing and locations.
His agency covered almost 95% of housing in Bronx city.
He knows every hiding spot and every resident in the city. If you need a safe hideout,Billy is the number one person who could help out.
In fact,all of them are all dangerous. Anna is Jake's P.A and the informant.
The pretty,tall brunette with a model-like figure. She gets all the informations and she's very loyal to him.
She's arrogant too and very harsh with her words. I don't like her. I don't think we might end up being cool with each other because the way I see it,she seems to have a soft spot for Jake. Body language never lies,they reveal one's true intentions and thoughts.We walked to where the grey colored Bentley was parked.
I marveled at the beauty of it. Jake is definitely one rich mafian. But why is he living in that apartment when he can actually buy a mansion.
Three highly expensive cars,he has given me two already. I sighed,why is he giving me expensive stuffs?.
"This Baby is a chunky $5.6m. My favorite of all his many cars." She said.
"Oh...",
I touched the car bonnet,admiring the classy headlights.
"... how many cars does he have?"
"Boss is a car lover,especially super fast cars.
He has three Rolls Royce,four Lamborghinis,a Ferrari,five Bugattis,three Aston Martins,a zenvo,two Pagani Huayra BCs hypercar,a Koenigsegg Trevita,a total of seven Bentleys,but he gave four out and then this one,what's left,is two now.
Four Mercedes Benz,each are different limited editions shipped directly to him from the company every time they release a new one. He also got a private jet but,he rarely uses it..."I was.
stunned!A what?!My father only got like five cars and a private jet.
Jake got like 24 cars?!!! Not to mention,
A PRIVATE WHAT?!!!Oh my God!!!
"How much is his net worth? And why does he has so many expensive cars?"
I was literally stunned.She giggled."Boss got billions,so he is technically a secret billionaire.
He doesn't like to show off.
And for the cars,he once narrated to me about a past.
One day,boss wanted to woo a lady he liked. Her father was some rich guy who got a lot of things going well for him. He got her to go on a date with him.
According to him,He got there with a dead,unattractive car. The type you would see in scrap metal sales.
He said she ridiculed him and he felt bad about it. She was riding a mustang at that time.
He did swear to keep buying cars till he gets broke. Boss doesn't waver an eye before paying for a car and if it's not over $1m,he ain't buying.
His first ever car was a mustang but later,he hated the brand because it reminded him of the lady. Whenever Boss is angry,he washes all his cars or terribly bashes them and then orders for a new one.
That man is incredible,you are lucky he has eyes for you."I was taken aback by her last sentence.
"He has eyes for me?"
She smiled.
"Of course,why do you think he is too soft around you?. Besides,he has changed all of a sudden. The Jake I know,would have been yelling at us for no reason in particular.
These days,he is more calmer and smiles all the time..."
What the hell?Is she trying to praise him in front of me?.
"... he got an assassin for a girlfriend..."I flinched.
AN ASSASSIN?!!!
My eyes shut widely in terror.
"Assassin?!"
"Yeah. But don't be scared,they've broken up and boss have been quite pleased with it.
She's a lot of things he doesn't like. Unlike you with the curves and the natural endowment,she's as flat as a flip flop..."
I choked,laughing out loud.Anna is quite funny and she says whatever she wants,not minding at all.
I guess that's why Jake kept her as his P.A.
Since she speaks without sparing any details,he can trust her words. She's not as bad as I thought.
I smiled,she could make a good friend too.
I really wanted to keep up with the conversation,but I gotta go.
"If you don't mind,I need to be somewhere."She smiled sweetly at me."Alright. See you soon,yeah?""Yeah. Soon is tomorrow evening."She giggled.
"Alright,later."
I nodded,entering the car and I drove out of the garage..... While at the meeting,Zoe texted me a message.
She said Steve's doctor claimed he had wanted to take his life.
I don't know why but I gotta find out to be sure.
I drove off as quickly as I could and slightly above the speed limit. On getting to the hospital,I walked briskly into it,heading to the front desk.
A nurse stood there,scribbling something on a piece of paper for two ladies.
"Hi ma'am,I am looking for Steve Callahan's ward.
The guy with the decapitated hands?"She pointed an index finger at a hallway.
"Go down that passage,take the left and then count three wards as you walk.
A private ward lies by left,it is the fourth ward."I smiled,"thank you,ma'am."
I said,quickly walking towards the hallway.I got to the ward as directed,and when I entered,Zoe and Dan was with Steve.
They turned around to face me and I became sad when my eyes rested Steve's bandaged hands.
I moved closer. Steve was looking up at me.
He looked so distressed and depressed that I actually felt for him.
I sat on the bed,holding his gaze. I had removed Jake's T-shirt because I felt it wasn't proper to wear it while visiting him.
"Are you okay,Steve?"His face had no expression on it."You abandoned me, Rachel.
After that night,you never visited me."I glanced at Zoe nodding at her.
She held Dan's hand,taking him out of the ward. I glanced back at Steve,"It's not like that.
You don't understand and I don't have any explanations.
Steve,I like you... a lot. But,I can't get you into trouble for it. Some problems are too big to handle,and to be on the safer side,we have to contain it."
His eyes rested on my bosom and then he looked away."You look good and I am jealous that you didn't look this good just for me. Zoe said you went out,was it on a date?"
"No! I didn't go out on a date. I went out to settle some stuffs I left pending.
He smiled.
"I don't know,but I want a hug from you.
I want to feel assured that you and I don't have any hard feelings towards each other."
I moved closer to where he sat and I gave him a bear hug. He hugged me back with a smile on his face.
"Rachel,I can change for you. I broke up with Paula and I will stop being a playboy.
Give me a chance..." he placed his forehead on my shoulder.
"... let me prove to you that I am a good person and I promise to love you no matter what."
I stroked his tousled hair gently.
"Steve... you don't..."
He quickly looked up to see my face.
"Don't refuse me,Rachel. I cannot bear it.
I won't live a normal life if you do so. Please."
I was stunned to see the desperation in that jade eyes.
The deep green expressing his feelings for me.
He planted a kiss on my shoulder,inching his face closer to kiss me on the lips.
I moved my face away.
"Is it because of him? Is it because of that guy?"
"No..." I moved away from him,avoiding his stares,
"... he has nothing to do with it."
"Then kiss me."
"I. Can't. I... we are just friends,Steve."
He jolted."Friends?! After I got my hands crushed for your sake?!!"
Steve,how am I going to tell you that your life could be in danger if we get intimate.
My coming here is also a risky thing to do and I don't know,I feel like I am being watched right now. Jake threatened to murder any man who covets me,which puts you on scale.
I don't know what will happen. We just hugged,and I am scared.I got up from the hospital bed.
"I will be leaving now."
"Rachel!"
"I'm sorry,Steve. We can only remain as friends. I really like you,but we can't be together. Get well soon,then we can go out on dates together."
He frowned.
"Friend zoning me because of a cold blooded bastard like him,huh?. It's fine,but let me assure you,i won't stop till I have you. I must have you."I let out a sigh,"Then you leave me no choice..."
I turned around to leave,
"... we can't be friends anymore,it is for your own good.
Stay away from me..." I glanced at him with my side eye,"... or get hurt trying to force your way into my life."
He was startled,staring at me with uttermost disbelief.
His face fell and her covered it with his bandaged hands.
Good,he has gotten the message. I made catwalks towards the door. I was about opening it when I heard a faint sob.
"I love you and I will wait for you." He said.
My face became glum and I opened the door,stepping out of the wardroom.....
On getting outside,Zoe was waiting for me.
She sat on one of the benches in the reception. She told me that Dan left while he was on a call.We left the building,on our way to the parking lot.
I saw two police men standing beside the Bentley.
They placed a tag on the side mirror. I told Zoe to stay behind while I check what the problem was.
Scared,I quickly walked to where they stood.
"Good afternoon,is there anything the matter?"
"Are you the owner of this vehicle,ma'am?" One of them asked.
"Yes? It's my car."
"You drove above the speed limit,ma'am. It's against the road safety rules and regulations. For that reason,we are taking you in." The second said while the first was bringing out handcuffs.What?!!!
"Hey! I only drove at 190km/h. It's not like I drove at a deadly speed. You can't just arrest me! Do you know who I am?!!"
I angrily snapped."Don't resist arrest ma'am,it will only worsen the situation."
The one with the handcuffs said,approaching me.
The other held me as I was about running away. He slammed me on the car bonnet,my back to him.
"LET ME GO!" I snapped.They placed my hands behind me,putting it on handcuffs.
"Rough handling a woman who ain't no criminal!
FUCKTARDS!! I will show you!!!" I yelled as they dragged me towards the NYPD police vehicle.....
