CHAPTER EIGHT
DANICA
Pulling up to the club, Iâm thankful weâll be surrounded by people. Not because it will keep Adrian from doing anything stupid because he clearly doesnât care, but because heâs gone back to the silent treatment, and it will be nice to have some sort of conversation with anyone. At this point, Iâd talk to the fucking wall if it could talk back.
When I left my room in the tight, lace dress, my dark hair curled perfectly with every makeup product invented on my face, I was sure he wouldnât be able to resist me. On top of Samanthaâs kind words, I felt really confident. But when she presented me to him, all he gave was a simple nod before looking back down at his phone. Even the entire way here, he hasnât even looked in my direction. All heâs done is send out text messages or answer calls.
From what Iâve gathered, itâs the opening of this place, and Bruce has some investors, as he calls them, scouting things out. They want to see how Adrian works under pressure since the Clarksâthe rival family in the cityâwill also be attending. Itâs simply a battle between the two of them to see which gets the money these âinvestorsâ are willing to pay for one of three things: guns, drugs, or murder, and there is no telling what it is. At least, I havenât been able to figure it out.
As the SUV comes to a halt, he finally shoves his phone in his pocket and looks at me. âI expect you to be on your best behavior.â
âOh, youâre talking to me now?â I reply, sliding over the seat so I can step out behind him as he opens the door.
Sucking in a deep breath, he turns to me. âDanica, tonight isnât the night to be a feisty bitch. You can continue your bullshit when we get home.â
Home. The word coming from his lips has me feeling giddy in a sense. I have a home of my own, of course, but hearing him essentially call whatâs his mine makes me feel Iâm getting somewhere. Maybe I can make him love me.
Crossing my arms, I laugh and push the thoughts away. I need to keep playing his gameânot get hung up on the stupid picture of love that doesnât exist in my head. âTonight isnât the night, yet, when Iâm not feeling it, it doesnât stop you. Why should I try and play nice when you wonât?â
He steps closer to me, his chest brushing mine as he leans down so our noses are level. âIâm being very fucking nice right now, but if you continue, I wonât. Weâll reenact that little scene in your bedroom, but instead of my Glock between your legs, it will be my knife. Is that what you want?â
I shake my head and swallow.
âGood. Now take my arm, and letâs go enjoy the night.â He offers me his elbow.
Snaking my arm around his, I plaster a fake smile on my face.
