“You’re perfect like that,” I whispered, marveling at the sight of Jade on her knees, spent, and marked with my cum. “Now swallow, princess. And say thank you.”

Her eyes on mine, Jade licked her lips and swallowed it all, clawing at my forearm.

“Thank you, Daddy.”

The Resignation of Jade Moretti

Jade

The coffee dripped into the carafe just as the sun was rising above the ocean waves. Alex sat at the kitchen island, going over the videos one last time.

We filmed three videos yesterday, andtoday?Well, today wasthefucking day.

Cindy’s email arrived just as I poured two cups of coffee, both Alex and I quiet like never before.

It was all in my hands now. Now,nothingwould get in the way of my wrath.

Except my phone rang, and I froze with the coffee cup midway to my lips. I looked down at the screen, both surprised and feeling nothing.

“Jade? Where are you?” My father’s strict voice came through the speaker, but it no longer had power over me.

“I’m getting dressed. Why?”

“Where’s Xavier?” he asked coldly.

I met Alex’s gaze, and there was no fear inside me anymore.

“I don’t know. I don’t car—”

“You don’t? Did you see him yesterday?

“What’s going on?” I finally asked, and my father sighed.Worried.

“Turn the news on. And come to the office as soon as possible.”

I ended the call and reached for the remote, eagerly waiting to do the deed, but in the meantime, I could feed my curiosity.

The local channel showed a story—Xavier’s.

...the mutilated body of a local businessman was found early this morning when the cleaning crew arrived for their four a.m. shift,”the dark-haired news anchor spoke in her professional tone while images of one of Xavier's dealerships flashed in the background."Xavier Knox was last seen dining at a restaurant where a brutal fist fight broke out between Knox's table and the one nearby. Police have identified a few men in the video as members of a local gang; however, every single one had remained in the restaurant when Knox disappeared.

I stood planted to the floor, watching the news. Oh fuck. Did they know it was…us?

We're in possession of a cell phone video showing the brutal fight unfolding right in the middle of dinner.

Indeed, the video showed the table of men who were sitting beside us that night, pummeling the shit out of Xavier's friends. Women screaming and running around, bottles exploding, and arms and legs flying in all directions.Police ask for anyone with any information about the fight and Xavier Knox’s death to come forward.

"Not bad, right?" Alex turned to me, beaming. "It all ended up going smoothly. None of the cameras in the restaurant worked that night, either.Mysteriously,everything went offline." He winked at me, and all the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place.

"You guys…planned the fight?” I asked, feeling so silly. Of course. Of course, Alex did.

"Yeah." Alex turned the TV off and rounded the island, reaching for me. “Local gang involvement—right there on the video, but everyone is accounted for. Xavier was already gone when this video was taken. Jesús arranged for Knox’s body to be dropped off at one of his own dealerships."

My man.

In his arms, I walked back to the bedroom and settled down with his laptop to type out a very important email.
