Iwillget Makaylie back.

I have pounded on her door.

I send her gifts.

I text.

I call.

I stalk.

Right now,nothingis working, and I am running out of ideas.

I should let her go.

Itwouldbe the right thing to do.

The sane thing to do.

But Makaylie’s so fucking stubborn that it pushes me harder.

We’re both unyielding, and her constant disregard for me drives me further, but it is bordering on obsessive.

To kill time when I’m not driving myself insane, I’m with the Bachelors, running the business for Boss like a pro. Sure, some things don’t run smoothly, but in this line of work, that is bound to happen, and that’s when the dark part of me awakens.

Not everyone can be trusted.

There isnohonor among thieves.

With me back and in charge, the Bachelors are like a well-oiled machine—smooth and slick.

Zorko is quiet, and there are no whispers of retaliation regarding our deals, so everything is proceeding normally.

Everything at work is on track.

Everything at home is falling to shit.

Whenever I have a chance to think, a moment where I am not involved in something or when I get time to unwind, I think of Makaylie and try again. I’ll send her a message, a gift, a call, anything to let her know I’m thinking of her. But whatever I do goes unanswered, and my patience is wearing thin.

Paper thin.

My insides are like a bomb waiting for the ignition switch to be flicked.

She. Belongs. To. Me.

She just has to know it.

I detest that I have no control.

This gorgeous woman holds all the damn cards, and I can’t fucking stand it.

When she gave herself to me—that meant she ismine.

Shelovesme.

Iloveher.

I’ll make her see that there is no one else for her.
