“What?” Roman asks, his brows dipping low as he looks out toward the tree. “Why?”
“Just do it.”
I wait patiently as he pulls up outside Shay and Ben’s home and I turn in my seat to face him straight on. “First of all,” I start. “I’m not some pawn you get to use in your war against Cruz. If you want to take him down, then that’s on you, but when I do it, he’ll know it was me. All me. Nobody takes my credit. I fight my own wars and besides, I’ve got my own shit going down. I don’t have the fucking energy to listen to your bullshit issues. You’re a snake, Roman and secondly, I don’t need anyone’s protection. I protect myself. Always have, always will.” I push the door open and grab my bag. “Next time you go asking about me, make sure you hear them correctly because I’m the fucking boss bitch around here and the next time you come sniffing around, looking for handouts, you better be ready because I won’t be holding back.”
With that, I step out of his car and bend down to see through the window. I give him a sickeningly sweet smile. “Thanks for the ride, Roman. I really appreciate it.”
