KAMILLE

I know what some people would say after knowing that I decided to stay with a man who owed the mafia and, but here's the thing, I love him for one and two, he's been paying back a debt owed by his father. Not that I felt the need to explain myself to anyone, but more of just an FYI on what my reasons were.

Both Larkin and I didn't go back to work for the next few days because we were moving him into 'our' place, then selling some of his expensive stuff he doesn't use and then settling in.

It took the rest of the week for us to sell all that he needed to do and so far, I felt like things were looking great and seemed to be on the up and up.

It seems while we were away, both Nate ans Kylie (mostly her), had hired on a few people for me and fired the others and since she knows what all I look for and everything, I trust her decisions.

The first day in fact, when I returned back to work, I noticed that the place was still nice and cleaned as well as things were still in order it seemed. I was really impressed and then thanked both her and Nate for picking good people. It's definitely gonna relieve some stress.

For the next few weeks, things were going great with me and Larkin, his products lines, Kylie and also my bakery.

Tonight, as it got closer to closing time, I was waiting for Larkin to come by because he has been doing that on the days he drives my car and he'll help me even clean up as well.

Then while I start in on the cleaning for the last half hour of being opened, I hear the bell go off at the front and I begin heading out to greet whoever it is.

I stop however, midway, when I recognize it's the two guys from the other day in L.A. that claimed to be Larkin's 'friends.'

I try not to think too much about it and decide to just go with the flow since Larkin will be here soon anyways.

"Hello, how may I help you?" I asked.

"Well hi there. I didn't know this was your place." Ronnie tells me in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes I do. Now what can I get you both? I'm about to close." I tell him.

"We're not interested in buying anything. No, in fact, we've come here because well, I think you got an idea the other day. I mean, you seem really smart and I'm sure he did tell you." He smirks.

"He did. But I don't see why you have to be harassing him this way when he's been paying you all on time and everything." I tell him.

I regret it right afterwards as I just realize who I had talked back to just now.

"So he didn't tell you everything?!" He questions.

"He did. He told me his father worked for you all and is paying back what his father owed you. In which I don't understand that." I say the last part under my breath.

"Let me tell you what really is going on and what he DIDN'T apparently tell you." The guy begins while his friend sits down at a small round table by the window, waiting.

"I'm not interested in whatever you have to tell me." I tell him. "Now please, leave and don't ever come back." I warn him.

"You're a brave girl. I'll give you that, but let me make something clear to you. Larkin isn't all who you think he is. In fact, he works for us. That's how he pays off the debt whenever he's late. He does jobs 'deliveries' we'll say, whenever he's gonna be late on a payment." He grins.

This can't be true. Larkin would have told me about that. He promised never to lie to me. If it's true then why would he not tell me that?

"Ronnie? We need to head back. Boss just messaged me saying he needs to see us." The other guy interrupts us.

He doesn't stop looking at me as he leans over a little bit over the counter, ignoring what his buddy just said.

"Watch your back." He threatens and then both of them begin to leave.

Once I saw them get into their car and leave, I let out a breath of air I hadn't realized I was holding in and soon afterwards, I see Larkin start to pull up.

Should I listen to what that asshole said? Maybe he was lying to me. Although if it's true, I do have a right to know.

I see Larkin walking towards the door and I take in a deep breath before he enters.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)

Hey guys, so I had forgotten to put their first time having sex together, so next chapter will be more of that scene. So it'll be short and be labeled as a 'bonus' chapter but then I will also write a real actual chapter too tomorrow.

Now, about the chapter, I wonder if she should believe that guy or not. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” Hmmmmm.....
