Chapter 118
Jennifer
I woke up to a very dark room, believe me, I wasn’t complaining, as my head was killing me. I should probably have taken some painkillers before I went to bed, but I didn’t. I reached out to the bedside table looking for my cell phone, but I couldn’t find it. Fuck it was probably destroyed in the accident. I needed to get up. I was hungry, and my head was killing me. I got out of bed slowly. I’m not making the same mistake as in the hospital. When I was stable on my feet, I started to walk to the steps. I wanted to take the first one, then I remembered what Romeo said, so I called out, “Romeo”, “I’m right here Jenn.” Romeo said as he came around the corner. “Sorry Romeo, I realized I didn’t have my phone, and I didn’t want to walk down the stairs alone my Sir might just punish me.” I smiled at him which got me a huge smile back. “He just might.” He teased me. He took my hand, and we slowly walked down the stairs. “Did you have a nice nap?” “Yes, I did, but now I’m starving, and my head is killing me.” “Then let’s get something in that stomach of yours and then some painkillers.” Romeo said as we walked towards the kitchen.
As we walked into the kitchen, Luna was busy making something that smelled divine. “Oh, Jenn, you are back. How are you feeling?” she asked, very concerned. “Better thank you. But I’ll be much better if you give me some of that you are cooking it smells delicious.” She smiled at me. “Yes, of course. You two take a seat, it’s almost done.” Romeo got some glasses and poured me some soda and some wine for him. “That’s unfair.” I said, looking at the glass of wine. “Sorry darling doctor's orders.” He smiled at me. When we were seated, Luna came to the table with sandwiches, with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and thin slices of steak. I wasn’t a fan of pickles, so mine was without pickles, which I was grateful for. “Thank you, Luna.” When she walked away, I took a big bite of my sandwich and moaned. Romeo looked at me and smiled. “What?” I asked him. “It’s just good hearing you make that sound.” “Oh” I said, while turning red in the face. I could feel it. “You don’t have to blush darling.” Romeo smiled at me. “Sorry I couldn’t help it.” “Just enjoy your sandwich and leave me with my own dirty thoughts.” He said, still smiling at me. We ate the rest of our lunch in silence. It wasn’t an awkward silence, it was nice. Nice that we can even be silent together. When we were done with our lunch, Romeo took some painkillers. “You want to go back to bed?” He asked me “I think I should.” I could feel myself getting tired again. Hopefully, this stage doesn’t last long. I mean I have a wedding to plan. We walked hand in hand back to the room where I was in bed. Romeo gave me my painkillers and some water. “Sleep well Jenn.” He said as he kissed me on the forehead. “Romeo. before you go, I don’t have a cellphone.” “I’ll send Lucas to go and get you a new one. Don’t worry about that.” “Thank you, Romeo.” I wanted to argue that I could buy my own phone, but he was clearly enjoying doing everything for me and, to tell you the truth, I was enjoying it as well. I’ve never had anyone do the things he does for me. So, I decided just to thank him and give him a kiss.
Romeo
As soon as I put Jenn to bed, I went back to my office. I was done with Brad’s stuff. I needed to work on my own business. As I was working through the spreadsheets my PA sent me there was a knock on my door. “Come in.” Lucas walked through the door looking furious. “What’s wrong Lucas?” “There are more cars out front, boss. They are just sitting there looking at the house.” “Get all the men together, we are going outside.” “Boss, what if they start to shoot?” “They won’t. Just get everyone together Lucas.” To say I was fed up was an understatement. I wanted these men away from my property and the sooner, the better. Jenn will freak out if she sees them. I heard a commotion in the foyer, so I went there to find all my men waiting for me. “I want you all to have your weapons visible, but do not draw and do not shoot.” “Okay boss,” everyone said.
We walked out the door towards the big gates. I was walking in front. They wanted me. They would see me first and then all my men behind me. As we walked through the gates, the first SUV’s guy's eyes got bigger and bigger. I screamed at him, “You want to get out of your fucking car and tell me why the fuck you are in front of my house?” The mother fucker closed his window, but he didn’t lock his door, so I ripped the door open and pulled him out of the SUV. I told my guys not to get violent but clearly, I didn’t get the same memo. When I grabbed the guy out of the car the other men got out of their cars. It was like we were in a stand-off-my men behind me and a bunch of them in front of us. No one looked like cartel, which was a bit strange. “Can you tell me what the fuck you are doing in front of my house?” I screamed at them. One of them walked closer towards me, which caused Lucas to step forward as well. “We were given a lot of money to follow you around and to sit in front of your house.” The one guy said. “By whom?” “We don’t know.” “Well, you better find out or else I will call the Police and the FBI.” “We don’t want trouble.” “Well one of you guys cause an accident and send my fiancé to the hospital so don’t tell me you not here to cause problems, you already did. If you are not away by tomorrow morning, I will get law enforcement to get rid of you.” The brave guy, the one that was willing to talk, said “He will just send other men to do the job.”
