CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
“Nadia?” Sasha’s voice was both weary and muffled and that only meant one thing. She had definitely spent the night with a man and was still with him. It had to be that guy she’d been dancing with yesterday night.

“Why the fuck did you put your phone on silent? I’ve been trying to reach you since yesterday night and you did not answer your phone. You have no fucking idea just how close I was to losing my mind,”

“What time is it?” she groaned. Didn’t she hear the part where I was ranting about almost losing my mind? Typical Sasha.

“It’s time to get your butt off over whoever’s bed you are on and get here immediately. A lot happened yesterday and I’m on the verge of losing my sanity. Oh, and can you track my phone because I cannot quiet well describe where I’m at. And do bring me a dress. Actually, I think you’d have to make that two and hurry up,” I cut off my phone before she could protest or start asking questions.

I threw the phone on the bed, gripping my hair in frustration. Collins had left with Ethan once he learned about the murder and here I was, still stuck in his room because I was only in a dress shirt. Well, his dress shirt and damn, his cologne was doing things to me. It was unhealthy how a man I barely knew could make my body react even at the smallest and insignificance of things. Several thoughts crossed my mind but the most important was how the hell Trina was doing. I needed to see Trina and on the other hand was the lingering thought of Mrs. Heather’s words yesterday. A mate to Drake or whatever his name was. The door to the room slid open and I turned around but just to my utter dismay, it was Laila, Collins’ ex-wife.

“Oh Great. Laila is here and she has actual clothes on this time,” I smiled sarcastically, sitting down on the bed.

She didn’t seem offended by my open sarcasm as she closed the door with a knob before walking over, stopping in front of me. In that pencil dress, high ponytail and heels, she could easily p[ass off as intimidating but in my state, nothing could intimidate me anymore.

“You seem like a …nice woman, whether your name is,” That was what a woman who was about to threaten me would say.

“Well, don’t be so confident about that. The nicest pieces are the most lethal, Laila,” She was not exactly what I need to see right now and her clear indication that she was obviously here to threaten me to stay away from Collins, just pushed me to the edge.

“If you are half of a smartass as your mouth, you’d know that you need to stay from Collins. You may have had …a moment in Vegas but that’s all its ever going to be sweetheart. Just one stupid moment,”

I let out a sigh,” Look, he is divorcing you, isn’t he? You must have done something really despicable to irk him if he is ready to divorce you. For the few moments we shared, he proved to0 be the guy who only focuses on what eh wants,”

“That doesn’t matter because Collins will always be mine. He is fucking mine and I won’t stoop so low to let a mere mortal take him from me. You are just going to be a girl he fucked once,”

“If you believe that much I’m going to be just a woman he fucked once, then why do you feel threatened by me? Are you worried I’m that much of a threat to you?” I smirked, “By the way, what about Bradley?”

“Don’t you fucking speak about Brad!” Judging from the cross look, Brad had to be someone close. That pain in her eyes only meant that this Brad guy was no close blood relation. He had to have had her under him. That must be reason for divorce.

“Of course. I’m not the type to fight with other women over men. I’ll only ask you this once,” I stood up, standing about two inches short of her but of course, she was in heels,” Do you love Collins?” I questioned, gazing straight into the depth of her eyes.

“Of course I do,” There was a flutter in her eyes. She didn’t love him like how a real woman would love a man. Maybe she wanted him for what he could offer but then again, I was not versed in the knowledge of their world.

“Then I’ll stay away,”

“I knew you were smart,” she smirked.

“Oh, not fast woman. I’ll only stay away, if you call Collins right here in this room with both of us in it. Then you are going to tell him that you want him and that you don’t want him coming close to me,” It was my time to smirk.

“You are trying to play smart? Then game on, Nadia,” she scoffed.

“For such…mighty creatures, I can’t believe a mere mortal like me, would be such an easy threat to you,” I cross my arms over one another. I was not usually a fan of girl drama especially when it had something to do with a man but she pushed me when I was already at my worst.

She was about to say something when the door pushed open, revealing Collins. His disturbed expression quickly morphed to an angry one when his gaze landed on Laila.

“What are the fuck are you doing here Laila?” he spat.

When she could barely forma reply, I spoke,” Well, Laila and I were having some girl time. She needed some advice on how to back off from things that were no longer hers. Right Laila?” I met her gaze.

She scoffed,” See you around Collins,”

She walked out, banging the door behind her ever so lightly.

Collins inched closer toward me, “Laila tends to be a trouble maker. I hope she wasn’t much of a bother to you,”

“I know how to handle her,” I sighed, “Look Collins, You and I know nothing about each other than how our bodies. Solve whatever it is that you have with her because I sure as hell do not want to be dragged into it,”

“Nothing is there between us, okay? Yes, I was once in love with her but she cheated on me with someone I trusted,”

“Well, she sure doesn’t share the same opinions and women like her, are lethal. She’d stop at nothing to get you back and I already have enough baggage dealing with your kind and my own friend becoming like you. So the last thing I need is to have a target on my back from your ex-wife,”
