"Lay it on me, D. It can't be as bad as the Hansen thing," Roger says.
I look over at him and smile because he doesn't realize it gets much worse. "Oh, it can, Roger, and it does." I chuckle at the look on his face and just lay it all out there. "Kira's uncle is Abasi Sefu, and he was here to help out."
"Holy fucking shit! Okay...Okay...Okay shit, thatisworse. Maybe they haven't caught wind of him being in the States. Anything else?"
"We burned down the bar and clubhouse because of Spike's rat ass and pinned it on Adrian and his crew, and now they are working with Natalia."
I should have killed that bitch at the bar.
"The Russians too."
Roger sighs, running his hand down his face. "Is that it?"
"All the Koshenkos are dead, except Natalia."
"Holy shit, you been a busy man."
"I’ll do anything for my family, Roger." Roger has known me most of my life, so he knows the lengths I’ll go to protect my family. "They all deserved what they got, and Natalia's time is coming too."
"Damn Demon, what the hell?"
"That bitch is on borrowed time, and today she had the nerve to threaten my girl. I should have slit her throat, but her death doesn't belong to me."
"Damn, this is some shit." Shaking his head, Roger takes in the situation that I find myself in. "D, you really need to look at retiring after this, man. This shit is getting way out of hand."
"This club is my life, Roger."
"Just give it some thought before you end up in prison or dead. You seem to love this girl. You should want to be around for her."
Can I leave this life? Can I leave it for Kira?
Roger stands, buttons his suit jacket, and runs his hands down the front, removing the creases. "I’ll set up the meeting for Thursday. Do not be late and only answer the questions I allow you to."
I nodding and walk my longtime friend to the door so that I can lock up behind him.
"Fix whatever is going on with your girl too. You look like shit."
"I'm trying man, but I've got to find her first. Thanks for coming and I’ll see you later."
"See you Thursday. Don't be late."
I nod, shut the door behind him, and sit back down on the couch. I pull out my phone and dial Kira, only to be met with her voicemail on the other end.
"Kira, sweetheart, pick up the damn phone. I need to talk to you. It wasn't what it looked like. Please call me back, baby."
I hang up and send her a quick text to let me explain what she saw and that I love her with all my heart. "Please just let me know you're safe. Let me know you're all right."
I lower my head in my hands. No response comes.
I take the glass sitting on my coffee table and throw it up against the wall.
"Son of a bitch! How could you fuck up the best thing that has ever happened to you!? Please come back safe," I plead as I sit alone on my couch with nothing but the sound of my heart breaking for the woman that I love.
Akira
How in the hell did you get here, Kira? You almost got killed, now you have fucked up by falling for someone so quickly after Avery.
But I would have never believed he would have hurt me. He made me feel exceptional, like I was a Queen, but now I don't even know who he is. Who was I to him? I've tried being patient when he would snap at me over stupid shit like the liquor order. I’ve made excuses for him when Razor asked what was going on because of the arguments. I've tried giving him his space even when we were at home. Now, look where all this shit has got me. I should have known better. I'm never enough.Why am I never enough?
