"What?" I whispered softly as I continued to look at them

"Pumpkin, those men are drug dealers. You remember when I told you me and uncle Ethan were working on a case. Those men are the reason we've been working so hard. They're smart as hell, shit you might as well call them masterminds." Dad replied heaving a dramatic sigh

"What do you mean?" I asked with a raised brow

"They knew Ethan and I were close on finding out who they were. The other day I overheard my boss saying it was Mr. Xavier's idea to promote me to Los Angeles. They couldn't risk losing the company, their business, nor their name. They are dangerous and you need to stay away from them." He finished walking up to me and bringing me into a hug

He then looked at mom and nodded for her to come over and he wrapped his arms around her as well.

Now that I know the truth, I won't dare go near those twins again.

That night I could've been killed by their cold-blooded hands, and no one would've known.

The idea made me tighten my hold on them and close my eyes.

I can't be that careless anymore.

I won't be that careless anymore.

And for my family, I will be the 18 year old they need me to be, and not the 8 year old I want to be.

For them, I will act with caution and care.

For them, I will act like a responsible young woman.

"Cindy where are you?" I asked into the phone

"Home, why?" She replied crunching on food

"I'm about to come over. I'll see you in 10 minutes." I said then hung up and grabbed my things to leave

When I went in my closet I grabbed my jacket but something fell out.

It's a crumbled piece of paper.

I squinted my eyes in confusion and picked it up then unwrapped it.

When I opened and scanned my eyes over it, I gasped and dropped it. Soon after I felt my blood run cold as the words kept echoing in my mind.

Count your days legacy, they won't be much.

"You have to be fucking kiddig me!" I screamed aloud while clenching my fists

How could I not connect the dots and see "Tori" is the daughter of Romeo Henderson.

They share so many traits it's ridiculous yet I didn't even notice.

God I need glasses.

I've never been threatened from anyone until yesterday. Usually I never fear people because I know one bullet to the skull can end them, but pulling a gun on Romeo is a death threat.

My entire family for generations would be a shit hole because of that bold decision.

Which is something I can never risk.

This girl could literally be the end of my business and that is something I can never jeopardize. No matter how much I want her.

And I feel disgusted.

The woman my spotter sent is his wife.

I wanted to capture Mrs. Henderson as a way to get to Tori, and that she's her fucking mother.

I really fucked up this time.

I can't believe that I fucked up with two fucking legacies.

I killed Mark Olson's baby momma and I wanted to fuck Romeo Henderson's daughter.

I should win an award for 'The Most Stupidest Person Ever'.

"Yes you should." De'Andre replied walking in my office

"Shut the fuck up, now is not the time to insult me. You're fucked just as much as I am." I snapped while he dropped his notebook and pen on the table

"Yeah, but your the one who wanted him to move to Los Angeles. Now he's going to up and leave faster because you have a thing for his daughter." He responded crossing his arms

"You do too asshat! Stop fighting with me and help me come up with a plan. Our spotter will do anything to kill both of them and you know it. If they get killed that shit turns back on us!" I screamed to the idiot before me

Both of us are in some deep shit, and if he thought I'm going to down alone, he's wrong.

I loosened my tie from stress and ran a hand through my hair.

I can't believe another legacy hates me.

And the thing is, him alongside Ethan Dwells are the best police officers on this squad.

They've built up quite the reputation over the years, and it's almost impossible to believe it.

Romeo Henderson has more of a legacy than his father.

He's his own legacy.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath when I saw Mr. De'Andre walking out of his office making his way to mine

I instantly stopped texting Mr. Olson and opened my computer to the files he wanted me to check earlier.

When he came into my office I looked up at him and put on the fakest smile I could.

"Good evening Mr. Grey. Is there something I could help you with?" I asked politely even though my lips are in a thin line

Even though I despised this prick, he's still my boss, and I know that he has the power to make me nothing.

Well that's what I have to make it look like.

"Come to my office in 4 minutes. Don't be late." He replied his eyes burning a hole in me

I gulped but nodded which made him smirk.

"Words little one." He said lifting my chin

I gulped once more but looked at him not backing down.

"Yes sir." I replied

"Good girl." He purred then walked out of my office

When I didn't see his suit anymore, my blood began to boil.

How in the hell does he think he can just walk into my office and demand a "meeting"?

He may be my boss, but to lift my chin and talk seductively to me after telling me for years that I'd never amount to nothing or be anything is crossing the mother fucking line.

I rolled my eyes and continued to text Mr. Olson.

He's making sure I know who my target is, but what shocks me next is that he had a new target for me.

When I opened the message, I can feel all of the air knocked out of me, but then a smirk creeps across my lips deliciously.
