Citizens ~ Alice Russell

Tony

I watch her hail a cab and leave. What was that in the elevator? That was not my angel. She was a woman possessed by something dark. Was it Ignacio? Did he hurt her? Was he the reason why she has the bruising on her neck? Pain crushes down on me as I watch her cab go down the block. I didn’t protect her! Whatever hurt her, I should have protected her from it. Pulling out my cell, I dial my right hand man, Tick.

“Boss?” Tick answers quickly.

“You got eyes on Ignacio?”

“Yeah. What’s up?”

“What has he been up to the past week?” I haven’t gone over my usual updates about Ignacio over the past few days because I was worried about Angel and the way we left things in Miami.

“Well, he and his girlfriend, Anaya, went out to dinner a few nights ago. Oh, and he actually stayed home that particular night. Since the following morning, he has been holed up at his apartment in Brooklyn with a different companion each night.”

“How did Anaya look at dinner? Scared? Worried?” I press for more information, trying to piece together whatever I can.

“She did seem a little scared, now that you mention it. She didn’t really eat much. Oh, and she didn’t show up to the office again until this morning.”

“Chelsea told me Anaya was in a car accident. True?”

“Car accident? Not likely. After dinner that night, she stayed in her building until this morning. No car accident.”

Fuck me! I know for a fact Ignacio touched her. I saw evidence of his handprints on her neck today. Punishment for trying to leave him? That fucking bastard! When I get my hands on him, I’ll make sure he has a slow and long death. “All right. Keep eyes on both of their movements.”

“Got ya. Anything else?”

“If you see anything strange with Anaya, you call me immediately.”

“Got it.”

I end the call. I have fucked everything up. I should have told her about Chelsea a long time ago. I just thought I had more time with her in Miami before I had to do that. I could kick my own ass for that miscalculation. Now I might have lost her for good. I doubt she’ll ever trust me again. Fuck that feels like a kick in the gut to even think about. She didn’t press me for the three words that most women push for. The only thing she wanted from me was me, and my thirst for revenge fucked it up. She is the best thing that’s happened to me. I refuse to let her slip through my fingers. I will do whatever I have to do to win her back.

***

A few weeks have passed and the work on the club has officially begun. Anaya is withdrawn, a reminiscent shell of who she used to be. He broke her spirit, and I don’t know how to put her back together again. I’ve tried giving her space, but enough is enough. Starting today, it’s my mission to make her herself again.
