Chapter 25
Seojun
The hug between Addison and I was completely innocent, but to any passerby and the way the camera was angled, we were in a passionate embrace.
“You’re dead. The both of you!”
Jerome chuckled.
“I knew you was up to something when you asked for a ride. The fact that you didn’t seem the type to go out drinking alone, I figured I needed to double check my suspicion. So, I followed you when Bruno said he was going to pick you up. Imagine my surprise when I saw you walking into the back of the bar with this muthafucka. Best believe I made sure to get everything recorded, too. Well until that old ass man tried to stop me. If he would’ve just minded his business, he wouldn’t be dead.”
My eyes squinted as I glared at him.
“You only fight old men and women? How fucking pathetic! You didn’t have to kill Dylan.”
Jerome shrugged.
“He knew where y’all went but didn’t want to cooperate and let me through. So I pretended to leave and snuck around back. Thankfully, you had him turn those cameras off because he didn’t see me sneak up behind him on his cigarette break. Don’t worry, I made it quick. Anyway, as soon as I saw your fast ass all hugged up, I took a picture and sent it to my boss. He’s going to be thrilled!”
“You dumbass! Mr. L is probably going to kill you for leaving me unattended and not informing Bruno!!”
Addison spat.
Jerome threw his head back and laughed.
“That broke muthafucka is not my real boss. Mr. Omba is.”
“Who the fuck is Mr. Omba?”
I asked, my patience growing thin.
“That’s Addison’s future husband. He’s worked with Mr. L for a while, but did not trust him to keep his beautiful untouched wife safe. So, here I am!”
“You yanked me by my hair and threw me to the ground! How the fuck is that keeping me safe?”
Addison snarled.
“I’m done with this conversation.”
Jerome snapped.
“Addison, say goodbye to this nigga and I’ll escort you back to Bru–”
Before he could finish his sentence, I picked up the bottle that Addison had tripped on with the top of my foot. Kicking it high, I spun and kicked the bottle into Jerome’s face. His head dropped back before he fell to the ground unconscious. Not wasting a moment, I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket.
“Jay, I need you to take care of one more item.”
“Sure thing. Send the address and I’ll handle it.”
“No need. I’m outside the door. I’ll be there in 2 minutes.”
I disconnected the line before walking over to Jerome and throwing him over my shoulder. Addison stared at me with her mouth open.
“Yeobo, listen to me carefully. Take my car and head back to your hotel. Do not stop and chat with anyone, but grab all of your belongings. We don’t know how much time we have before any of Mr. L’s people try to come after you. I am going to help you, but I need you to do this for me.
I said, pulling my keys out of my back pocket. I pressed the start button to show her my car was just across the street. She exhaled and nodded as she took my keys and headed towards the car.
