Amirah’s Pov
It was the second day of Thaigo allegedly babysitting me and he walks in the living room on a phone call, my gaze left my notebook and back at him he leaned against one of the couches.
“She’s fine.” he glared at me with his stony expression.
He hangs up walking towards me, I passed my notebook by my side adjusting comfortably on my spot.
“What now? ” he muttered clearly not over the moon watching over me.
“How about you go and I take care of myself.” I suggested.
“You really want Hunter to shoot me at my balls don’t you? ” he curved his brows.
The doorbell rang we both glance at each other on who was going to open the door.
“Aren’t you going to get that? ” I hinted darting my gaze directly at the front door.
“I’m supposed to watch you not turn into your maid.” he slouched back on a couch, I only sigh walking slowly towards the door, I was about to scream at who the hell it was until my gaze landed at Alec.
“Alec? What are you doing here? ” I stuttered but got my words together he smiled at me like he just wanted to see my face, his hands braced his nape nervously.
“Ummh can I come in? ” I nodded as he walked in and I shut the door behind us his gaze landed on Thiago and both men glared at each other.
“I see you’re not alone.” Alec muttered bitterly, Thiago got up grabbing my hand and yanking me to the kitchen.
“What the hell Amirah, you invited him? ” he spat in disgust.
“I didn’t invite him, he just showed up at the front door and what’s with this beef with Alec ?” I asked folding my arms.
“You do know that’s Hunter’s step cousin right? ”
“So? Alec is cool.”
“Alec’s father is Hunter’s elder step uncle you’re getting yourself involved with more than you can handle.”
“Look I don’t care what beef or feud the Dominiquez have with Alec, he hasn’t killed anybody has he? ” I asked as Thiago clearly shut up.
“Fine, just be careful and hope that Hunter doesn’t find out.” he said we both nodded, I took a tray filled with macaroons and headed out to see Alec with my notebook.
I quickly ran up to him and snatched it away from his grasp, hopefully he hasn’t read it.
“Want some macaroons? ” I gestured, he only smiled as I dropped my notebook away from his reach and offered him a tray.
“Thanks.” he picked one and started eating slowly, I couldn’t help myself I ate like three or five.
“Why the fuck are you here? ” Thiago rudely interrupted the sharp silence between us.
“To see Amirah.” Alec replied wearing a smug grin. “Why are you authorative around her, she doesn’t belong to you.” Alec gritted in between his teeth. The atmosphere was harsh and tense.
“So ummh Alec, what do you actually do? ” Alec looked back at me slow in thought before he finally got it looking back at me.
“Nothing much I just attend to business my dad wants me to take care of but I sometimes do photography but it’s just a hobby.” he replied and sighed.
“I bet you and her took a lot of pictures.” he looked back at me pained but hid it before me and Thiago noticed.
“Yeah, we did so are you just going to sit all day and do nothing.” he asked.
“Seems like it, thanks for stopping by.” I said picking up the trays of leftover macaroons.
“You better be leaving Hunter doesn’t like the scent of his enemies.” Thiago spat at Alec as I watched in silence. “He’s right I better leave.” he nodded and left, I looked back at Thiago in disgust.
“Happy now? ”
“Very.” he replied as I picked my notebook.
I looked back at Thiago and back at my note I needed to see Derek but that wasn’t happening with Thiago around.
I needed to get rid of him.
I head to the kitchen glancing over the drink aisle, I picked a bottle of tequila and pulled out two glasses and dropped them at a counter.
I searched for a packet of pills and head out to see Thiago going through his phone.
He glanced back at me suspiciously, I ignored his stare and set down the tequila and and glasses.
“What’s this? ” he asked.
I slowly poured the tequila into the glasses slowly.
“Look I know we started off badly but I wanna make a deal let me go out just like an hour without you and I swear Hunter won’t hear shit.” I said sneaking two pills in as my hand concealed the reaction.
“Nice try..” he snatched the glass still and drank it in one ounce, I put on my pout of defeat watching him for a while as he slowly succumbed to sleeping.
I waved my hands over his face he was out.
I quickly changed into a tank top and a short denim skirt with a denim jacket to compliment it all, I quickly fix my hair in a high ponytail staring back at Thiago.
“Sorry Thiago.” I muttered before going out.

Paisleys Pov
My father was invited to honor one of his success and as his offspring I were expected to attend with Delilah.
I wanted Amirah to come but I couldn’t afford my two face bewitched hoe of a sister pulling Amirah’s hair of her scalp.
She was busy attending and chatting with fellow supporters who my dad invited, I felt out of place and like a stranger in their midst all I wanted was to get the fuck out sooner the event was over.
I kept myself busy drinking until I overhear Delilah giggling with her so called friends.
“I can’t believe that bitch think she can keep Hunter wrapped around her fingers.” I heard a comment but tried to ignore it since it has nothing to do with me.
“What her name again, Amirah.” I turned to see Delilah chatting with them, I walked towards them.
“What are you guys talking about? ” I asked as they all turned to face me.
“Paisley? ” Brittany one of them gasped.
“if you like to know we are talking about that slut and husband snatcher.” Constance one of the girls rolled her eyes.
I looked back at Delilah with a glare.
“Did you also tell them how you sucked my ex boyfriend’s dick behind your husband’s back.” I spat bitterly gaining more attention than normal.
“Paisley.. ” Delilah feigned.
“You are such a fruad I can’t believe I used to look up to you.” I spat.
“At least I’m not adopted.” I didn’t have control over my my reflexes, I already slapped Delilah as the whole room gasped now all eyes were drawn to us.
“Paisley how dare you slap your sister? ” My dad yelled I turned to face him with a glare.
“As usual you didn’t waste time when your legitimate favorite is in trouble. I’m not surprised.” he looked shocked at my words.
“Do you forget I’m your father I picked you up from the orphanage and raised you and this is what I get.” he lamented.
“You never did raise me, you were never my father you were just this man who wanted nothing to do with me, you despise me, you loathed me, I did everything I graduated, I portrayed this little angel and still I was nothing but a thorn in your flesh all because I wasn’t your actual daughter.” I hissed.
“Don’t you dare disrespect me Paisley.” he warned as I scoff.
“I do anything wrong you condemn me but your daughter fucked my ex boyfriend clearly cheating on her husband and spread rumours about an innocent girl to appear relevant, I’m done with this shit, I’m tired of you stirring my ship.” I said as all eyes glued stuck on me.
I walked out as the audience mummered to themselves.
“Paisley get back here and apologize to your sister, I am still your father.” he spat and I stopped, I turned to face him.
“I don’t owe that hoe any apology and she’s no longer my sister neither are you my father or were my father as of now you are both dead to me.”
