Of course, Xi is the one dealing him the drugs. How could I not think of that?
My heart squeezes when I notice the beautiful girl sitting next to him in the car.
Don’t be sad. You know that’s what he’s like.
The girl has beautiful black hair falling to her shoulders and robust features that obviously show she’s someone not to be fucked with. I bite my inner cheek, thinking this is probably the kind of girl Xi likes. The strong ones that stand up for themselves.
I slap myself mentally, hating the way I blame myself for not keeping an unreliable man around. I should be thankful I pushed him away.
My phone vibrates in my lap, my body stilling when I see the message.
Xi: Tell me you’re not alone in a car with your ex.
How the hell did he get my number? Why is his saved on my phone? And how does he know about my past with Chester?
I gaze back up at him through the windshield and watch his hard eyes on me. He can be so damn scary.
Well, screw him. I refuse to allow Xi to drag me back to him when all I’ve done this week is attempt to keep him off my mind. I failed. But the point is I tried.
Alex: What’s the name of your new conquest?
I watch his eyebrows shoot up and his eyes glance to mine before he texts back.
Xi: Worry about yourself and not getting in trouble with me.
Huffing, I narrow my eyes at him and type.
Alex: I can do whatever I want with Chester. That’s none of your business.
Xi: I’ll get rid of him, then punish you. Do you truly think being stubborn is a good idea?
I barely stifle a gasp. I know he’s not serious. He can’t be serious. On the other hand, Xi is a criminal, and I can’t help thinking he could easily get rid of someone. Plus he told me he liked to punish his girls…
When I don’t reply, he texts again.
Xi: I’m not enjoying seeing you alone with another man, Alexandra. So, get out of the car.
“What the hell is he doing?”
I startle in my seat when Chester talks. Turning to him, I open my mouth even as no clear words come out. “I-uh…I don’t…”
“I thought he was going to come to me, but maybe I should go to him? I’ve never picked up drugs before.”
“I’m not sure,” I say weakly.
I look back down at my vibrating phone.
Xi: This is my last warning. Get out of the car, or I’ll tell Harper what happened between us.
My heart freezes. Without thinking, I undo my seatbelt and turn to Chester again. “I’ll go get it.” I grab the stack of bills he had put on the middle console before getting out quickly.
I stride to Xi’s window and extend my hand when he opens it, showing I’m expecting the pills he was meant to bring.
“Get in,” he orders before closing the window.
I bite my inner cheek so I don’t throw insults at him and get in the back of the car.
“Are you done playing games?” I snap. “Just give me the damn pills.”
