“Love you, Chlo.”
“Yeah, I love you too, big head.”
I hang up and roll my eyes. I can’t wait to get home and find out what’s been going on with her.

“What’s up?” I say into the phone.
“That deal in Vegas, it’s about to fall through,” Cane grumbles. “The investor group wants to pull out.”
“You tell Clay about this?”
“He did,” Clay says, letting me know he’s on the line too. “I say fuck them. Gutter has a contact who would be interested.”
“More Lost Souls?” I lift a brow as if he can see me.
“No, Stormy and Ramon are civilians. Just as dangerous and loyal though. Their pockets are deep enough. We’ll still have the desired effect.”
I have nothing against the Lost Souls. However, they have had trouble in the past that I’m not interested in tying my money to. Clay, on the other hand, has a deep loyalty to King and the rest of the Lost Souls. I get it. He got his start with their help.
“I want to know why these deals are falling through,” I mutter.
“The moment it got out we might start running for a few offices, this shit started.”
“Yeah, but my gut says it’s deeper than that.” I sigh. “Make the deal happen with your people. I’ll take over once they commit. Call me if something else comes up,” I say and hang up.
“Fuck, can’t I catch a break?”
We need these new deals for some bigger moves we plan to make. It’s like someone is picking away at our plans. I can’t wait to get back so I can look at things with Clay and see if I can pull the needle out of the haystack. I’m almost done wrapping up all affairs here. I won’t need to return for a while.
The sale of the house will be done in two weeks, and we can leave then. I’m saying goodbye to my past. It’s time to shut the door on Addison and the mess she created in my life. I’ve purchased an apartment at Burj Khalifa. That’s where my family will stay when I need to come in for business.
“Everything okay?”
I turn to find Cee with her eyes on me. I give her a smile and beckon her to come to me with my arms open. She comes into the room, and I wrap her in my embrace.
“I love you,” I murmur into her neck.
