What Was His Crime?

[ALEX]

Ryan watched as his brother left his favorite restaurant, without having taken even a sip of what they had ordered. He had never thought there would come a day when Alexander would be having the hard choices, but this was the day.

He had seen the conflict in Alex's eyes when Alex realized that all this while, he had truly been in bed with the enemy. The anger on his brother's face had scared him, and Ryan knew for a fact that Alex would have to make the hard decisions.

He had been defending the woman for the past few days and now, it seemed like he had just wasted his breath in trying to make peace with a woman who wasn't out of peace. She wanted blood and wasn't scared to make it known.

Everyone in the underworld knew who Jay was and even the Russians were scared of him. Turns out that all these years. All this time, they were worried and scared shitless of a conniving woman who ruled with an iron fist.
