Stacey POV
I came back and Aunt Georgia who was the owner of that place let me in happily.A year before her husband died,he changed the name of the motel.He gave the motel his wife's name because these two were everything he had.
She wasn't my aunt but I've known her for more than 4 years.She was one beautiful old lady.She had a golden heart.
"You're back!" She exclaimed in happiness and hugged me.
''How are you doing aunt Georgia." I said as I placed a kiss on her cheek.
''You know,life goes on anyways." She said and winked at me.
"Tell me about you." She asked excitedly.
"Nothing much." I said as I faked a smile.
''So as you are back,you will sing me to sleep every night right?" She asked.She loved to hear me singing and always used to say that I have a bright future ahead of me.
Few days passed by and I was warmly welcomed by the neighborhood.Even though this place was dangerous,some people here was like my family.They made me realize that this is where I belong,not with the most successful business man who was the underworld lord.No,I was stupid to think that he would actually fall for me.I laughed upon my deeds.
It was a bright Sunday morning and I was still very sleepy.
"Sass!" Aunt Georgia called me from the outside as she continued knocking on my door.
"I am up,I am up." I responded to her as I opened the door.
"I brought some cookies for you." She said as she handed me a basket full of cookies.
"Aw,thank you!" I said as I hugged her and then she left.She was like a mother to me.She really loved me.
The card that James gave me was full of cash and I could literally lead a 'Kylie Jenner' life with that much money.However,I still chose to stay in this place.
I went to the store to buy some toys for the kids in the neighborhood.I ran around the store and got myself a few necessary things.
I returned and I saw the kids playing around in the streets.
"Kids!I've got gifts for you." I said and they came running to me.I let them choose what they want and they took the toys of their choice without debating.I was happy seeing them happy because at this point,the only happiness I had was them.
Even though I tried calling Alan a numerous times,the only thing I heard was "The number you are dialing does not exist."
James POV
I was sleepless for several nights after seeing what Stacey did.I heard John was hospitalized.
It was just another sleepless night.
My phone rang.
"Hello."
"Boss,John died a few hours ago." Baron spoke.
I hung up.
I couldn't believe it.However,the mess was cleaned up anyways.
Morning arrived.
I opened my eyes and I jumped out of my bed.I got ready and headed to Alan's place.
The guards opened the door as they saw me and greeted me instantly.
Alan was sitting on the couch,the smoke of his cigar lurked around the room and the faint smell of alcohol reached my nostrils.
"Alan." I called him slowly.His silence scared me.
"John's dead."
"I heard." He whispered.
''She is staying in the Georgia motel again."
"Did I ask!" He screamed like a beast.
"My apologies Alan." I said as I left.
