"It's only a matter of time before I get enough evidence against you " he spoke as if that would be enough to frighten me, I was the only predator over here.

"That might be true, but don't you think you should stay alive for that?"

His gaze took a quick scan around, as if my men would jump at him any moment .

"No need to get alerted, if I wanted ,then I wouldn't be standing here talking to you, you would have been fucking dead already."I spoke in a tight tone.

"And I'm supposed to be thankful to you?i'm not intimidated by you, I know you first of all kidnapped Hazel then you forced her to come with you "

I didn't miss the sudden look in his gaze whenever he talked about Gracie, I was beginning to get why he was bitching so much and going in circles.

"Even if that is true, it's none of your damn business, they are my family Gracie is MINE , as well as our daughter , you don't need to worry about her, because she's well taken care off by me!"

A look of anger and something else flashed through his gaze , a look that I knew all all too well.

It was Jealousy.

I gave him a cool unwavering stare , I was right that he wasn't doing this because it was his duty or for the goodness of his heart , but because he had a little secret.

"I don't believe you!" he spat

Another low dark chuckle escaped my mouth.

"Like I give a single fuck.You should stay in your level, away from our business, and most importantly away from her, You shouldn't even so much as to look in her direction or I might just....." I inhaled sharply as I allowed the rest of my words to trail off.

I left him alone leaving him to stare after me.

Somehow she considered him a friend, if she ever found out that I did something to him , she would be hurt by it, and that was something I didn't want to risk .

He should consider himself lucky even though a part of me wanted to rip him to shreds for harbouring any feelings for her.

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud sound of gunshot.

Followed by a scream.

Another gunshot followed and my whole body tensed up in high alert.

My gun was clenched tight In my hands as I slowly and cautiously traced my way back.

The first thing my gaze settled on was the body on the floor.

It was the cop.

I made my way over in hasty steps, my gaze darting towards every corner in alert.

I scrunched towards his level, he was barely breathing, my hand made contact with something wet on his shirt.

Blood...

Shit..

I tapped on his shoulders roughly

"Who did this?...hang on , get help!" I yelled to one of my men who had followed me.

How had this happened so suddenly?

I was about to straighten up when he clenched on my hand tightly with surprising strength.
