25KILL OR BE KILLED

Anna was a little nervous. You couldn't tell though by looking at her. She had already mastered the art of looking like nothing was wrong.

She did not know how things were going to turn out. She was playing chess and with one wrong move she would be thelosingsing

Losing meant dying in the game she was playing, she couldn't have that.

She stared at Neegan who seemed to be in his thought and wondered what went on in his min. Did he even think before doing things?

He was like a child who did whatever he wanted without thinking of the consequences.

Her job was not to be there to clean up the messes he made. If anything she was going to make them worse as long as they benefited her.

Her phone rang and she wondered who it was m She had been silencing it but the person just seemed to keep calling.

The caller id was Dylan and Anna let out a heavy sigh. She did not want to talk to him and he just kept calling.

"Hello ", she said with a tired voice.

"Hello where are you ?", he asked and she was a little taken aback.

"Am busy what is it ?", she asked.

"Well I came by your hotel and wanted to see you but they wouldn't let me in your room ", Dylan said chuckling and Anna calmed down a bit and smiled.

"That's because am not around I have some work things I need to do and then go back to New York for a bit ", Anna said.

"Well I'll see you in New York though ", Dylan said and they told each other their goodbyes and Anna hung up the phone.

She had been so busy had not even gotten on second to think about Dylan. She knew what she wanted.

She didn't want Dylan neither did she want Vincenzo.

She just wanted to be alone and do whatever she wanted to do. She wanted to be the best version of herself.

She couldn't possibly have both, power and love. She had to let one go.

Considering how love had been cruel to her in the past she couldn't take a chance with it anymore. She wasn't scared of being alone anymore.

She was done chasing a man. She was done waiting for him to decide if she was the one he wanted. She was happy, she didn't need any of them.

She wasn't that desperate. She wasn't going to stick around and wait to see how things were going to be. Her heart had been broken enough times already.

"Are you okay, you seem to be in deep thoughts ?", she heard Neegan's voice beside her.

"Yes am okay ", she said.

"Who was that on the phone ?", he asked her and she wondered if she should just answer.

She did not want him to think of anything serious about what had happened between them. To him, it had just been sex and she did not want anything more from him.

She did not want to complicate things more in her life, she had enough drama as it was already.

"Dylan ", she said.

"Is she the guy that was at the hotel earlier ?", he asked her.

"Yes what about him do you know him ?", Anna asked him now curious.

"Yes I think I've seen him before am just not sure where it was or he was with someone I knew ", Neegan said and Anna wondered who it was he had seen Dylan with.

Dylan wasn't into the type of business that Neegan did and it got Anna thinking.

Maybe it was nothing, he had probably seen him at the customs agency or something like that.

Her thoughts drifted back to Jason back at the ranch. He had asked about his mother and had somehow gotten tired of asking.

Anna was tired of telling him that his mother was coming to take him. No one was coming to save him.

It was as if he was in purgatory. He was just a piece on the chess board they were all playing.

One player wanted him safe and the other one did t even care if he was doing okay. He was just alive because he could serve his purposes.

Things were going to change though. Anna was going to make sure of that. She was but going to let anything bad happen to him with her being alive.

She couldn't wait to see Scarface. How would he react if he knew that his brother sold him out? That he did not care about him all that mattered was what he wanted.

He threw him under the bus because of what he could gain by his death. He had been stupid to trust him.

It even made Anna have trust issues. If a brother could do that what about someone you just met and started working with?

Someone who just cared about what benefited them. Domaine did not care if you died or lived. All they acted about was what you brought to the table.

If something happened to you they would find someone better at what you did and replace you.

As Anna stared at Neegan she realized that she was nothing important to him. She was judgy a worker to him. So eine he gould kill if she messed up.

He did not have her best interests at heart. He only cared about what she could do. The profits she brought in and the relationships she mended.

He didn't care and she was going to make sure that she also cared for herself. She would only think of herself and push an agenda that was solely benefiting her.

If they had wanted things to be in their favor maybe they should have been the best who did everything for themselves.

It was stupid of him to trust her when he knew nothing about her. Her calm aura had yet again fooled him into thinking she was someone nice.

She was not nice at least she already knew that.

It was a world where it was either kill or be killed.

She was going to kill.
