“What the hell man!” Anson managed to get out, his expression full of shock and fear.
I wasted no time<b>, </b>and delivered a well–deserved punch to his nose. He groaned in pain, and 1 grabbed his cor, lifting him slightly beforending another blow.
“I heard you were tough!” 1 punched him <b>again</b><b>, </b>unable to contain my anger.
“1-1 don’t know what you’re talking about, man,” Anson stammered as if I had the wrong person. Judging by his eyes, he didn’t know what the problem was
“Come on, do something,” I dared him, giving him a kick.
“I don’t want to fight, I don’t want any trouble, I’m <b>sorry </b>okay! I’m sorry, just let me go,” Anson pleaded. His tough personality had already crumbled before he got the chance to show it. I couldn’t believe this moron was the man Jimena had been running from,
Anson protected his face with his hands, preparing <b>himself </b>for another blow.
You want to hit women, but you don’t want to fight me?” I gave him another kick, sending him to the ground. Kneeling down, I tightened my hand around his throat. “Get up, be a <b>man</b>, and pick on someone your own size, let’s go
“Is this about Mena!” Anson blurted out, finally connecting the dots
I nced back at Donni. “So instead of denying it, he admits to being a woman beater“”
Ansonughed in pain as blood fell down his lips. “You must be her new man, the reason she’s here?” he said. “Be careful with that one. It’ll only be a matter of time before that bitch will empty your pockets and y with you mentally, like she did with me.”
I knitted my brows, tightening my grip around him.
“Bitch!” I whispered in disbelief as my frustration grow. “Should I <b>just </b>kill him now?” I muttered to myself
<b>“</b>Yeah, have your fun–I’m sure you’ll have more fun when I report you to the police, <b>Anson </b>spat out
Toch!”
<b>Confused</b>, I looked at Donnie, who also seemed puzzled. Then we both burst out <bughing</b>
“Donnie, are you hearing this? 1 cackled. That had to be the funniest joke of the year. <b>My </bughter only grew at his <b>words </b>to the point my stomach began huning
“Where do you think you are? Who do you think I <b>am</b>!” I leaned in closer, making sure he heard every word. “My <b>family </b>owns the police. We own this city. You’re the one trespassing<b>.”</b>
Anson widened <b>his </b>eyes, realizing the situation at <b>hand</b>.
Tve entertained this scum for too long,” I stated, pulling out my gun.
Anson yelped in fear. “Please, don’t do this he begged dramatically. The weather was <b>cold</b>, but sweat was dripping from his forehead. “Please, please, <b>please</b>!”
I tapped the gun on his cheek. His body trembled as he met my eyes. “Youying your hands on Jimena feels like you’reying hands on me, <b>and </b>I’m not liking it.”
The alley <b>was </b>silent <b>except </b>for Anson’s whimpering. He knew he<b> </b>up, and he knew these were his final moments. He couldn’t take <b>back </b>what had already happened.
“You go to hell for this,” Anson gasped, his eyes squeezed shut, awaiting his execution
“That I will, but I not be going before you, I chuckled under my breath. Since <b>you </b>seem to care so much, how about I’ll send you down first, and while you’re down there, you can tell them to save a spot for Alessio Fani.
I moved the gun from his cheek to his head, then I pulled the trigger–but nothing happened. I tried again, still nothing.
“Huh?” I looked at Donni, who’d once again matched my confusion. “Would you look at that?”

Quite the humiliating experience. We were looking like a bunch of amateurs
Tll take him,<b>” </b>Donn hifted <b>his </b>gun. Anson was still breathing heavily, with eyes shut
“No,” I <b>raised </b>my hand, stopping him. “Open your eyes,” Londered Anson..
Anson listened, slowly opening his <b>eyes </b>with fear written all over his fare. “Don’t do this to my daughter. If you know Naty, please don’t do
“This <b>might </b>be a sign from the lord, granting you a chance to redeem yourself,” I told him. If death wasn’t knocking on his aloor, there was no need. to open it. Today was <b>not </b>his day.
It could be that, or <b>maybe </b>I couldn’t help but turn into a big softie the second I heard the name of <b>that </b>little girl, Naty

Donn snickered, “Dude, be serious”
“I am” 1 put away the <b>gum </b>and patted Anson’s chest. His eyes changed from <b>fear </b><b>to </b>relief. “Since I’m feeling generous today, I’ll let you <b>take </b>the first. ne back to Texas. I’ll <b>take </b>care of your girls and y step–daddy for a while longer”
“Unbelievable.” Donni snorted.

Anson clenched his teeth. I bet he <b>was </b>angry at the disrespect he
I grabbed some bills from my pocket, and counted out $2,000 before throwing it in front of him. “We both know all of this was just a way to get back at Jimena,” I spoke. “You don’t <b>care </b>about her or your daughter because if you did, you would’ve epted that she doesn’t want you around
anymore.
Anson stayed silent, his expression turning into a disappointed frown. For his sake, I hoped I finally got through to him
“Leave, and if I ever see your face in my city again, you know what will happen 1 warned him.
“Let’s go, I walked off with Donni, leaving a heavily injured Anson behind.
“Why the hell did you let him live? Donni questioned. “It’s too much of a risk”
“He’s just some <b>failed </b>athlete from Texas. What can he do?” I shrugged off his concerns. “Now let’s go have a flight to catch
