Yesterday’s Betrayal Today's Scars: Alice

6 SHOCKING VIDEO

Alice POV

I set my mug of coffee on my desk and looked around my new office. I need to hook up my three desktops. My laptop set to the side will need a spot also.

I look to the right, and I am thankful they carried my filing cabinet whole, so I don’t have to mess with the files.

I sigh and get started. I will never feel truly at home until my office is complete so I can work properly.

Two hours later, everything is in its place and connected to the monitors on the wall.

I lean back in my office chair with my fresh cup of coffee and admire it.

I take a sip, and then I hear Star’s voice yelling. “Where are you? I want to see the house now that you have moved in.”

I laugh and set my coffee down. If she is here, then Tony or Max isn’t far behind now that she is getting so close to delivering my nephews.

”In the office. I’ll come to you,” I yell back while walking towards the stairs that lead to the basement.

I see her holding the railing as she tops the stairs. I embrace my beautiful sister.

”Damn, you are glowing,” I say as I hug her. “I’m as big as a house, and my husbands won't stop hovering,” she says with a huff.

I laugh at her and reach out, rubbing her pregnant belly. “You're lucky. You have two amazing men who love you more than life and two babies on the way.”

She places her hands over mine and looks at me. “You're going to find your happiness too, Alice. I know it.”

I kiss her cheek and then take her hand. Come on and sit with me. I lead her into my office and get her a bottle of juice out of the fridge. She has craved apple juice or cider since she got pregnant.

When I hand it to her, she gasps. “What the f**k happened to your mouth?”

I had almost forgotten about it. I run my tongue over my bottom lip and then sit down. Picking up my coffee, I tell her about the incident at Desire.

Her face turns red with rage. I calm her when I keep talking and tell her what Dem told his men to do with her. Then what he called me. His.

Her eyebrows raise, and then a slow smile takes over her beautiful face. “I knew that man wanted you. But what about muscles, as you call him? From your story, you are attracted to him too.” she says.

”Yes, I’m a mess,” I state, leaning my head back and staring at the ceiling.

My phone chimes with a text, and I pick it up from the desk. “Require a drop one expired. One hour, ok?” It’s from Myshtsy. I smile, thinking of our playful flirting at the club. “Good to go,” I text back.

I look up, and Star watches me closely while she rubs her stomach.

“We have a drop for one coming in an hour,” I tell her. “Ok, but what had you smiling like that?” she asks.

I feel the heat rising to my cheeks. “It is muscles who texted, and my mind immediately went to our flirting at the club,” I admit.

Her grin broadens. Then she leans forward. “Do you think it's her?” she asks. It takes me a minute, and then I understand what she is asking. It could be the b***h that attacked me that is the drop.

I shrug. “Maybe,” I reply. “If the drop is female with long red hair and a deep cut on her face, then yes, it’s probably her,” I say. I haven’t attended a drop in a while with the other jobs I’ve been taking on; I just arrange them.

My phone chimes again, and I sigh. I just want to hang out with my sister, damn it.

Looking at it, I see it’s Hector, making me roll my eyes. “I will be in town tomorrow. Have lunch with me,” it reads. I lean forward, showing the text to Star.

She laughs at me. “He really wants you,” she says. I put my phone down and tried to explain my feelings to her.

”I know people can change, and he may have. But my gut feels all wrong about him even though he is attractive,” I explain.

”I know you did a full background on him when we took him as a client. But have you checked in on his activities since you two met? Maybe that will give you more information.”

I think about it for a second and smile. “Let’s hack his security cameras and see what he has been up to,” I say with an evil laugh.

Star turns in her chair so she can see the monitors on the wall better.

I pull a USB stick from the desk drawer that has a copy of the program ‘mirror’ I wrote on it. It’s the reason I never get caught.

Once I plug it into the computer, it only takes me three minutes to gain access to his home security feed.

There are several views of rooms on the screen. “There, that one,” Star says, pointing to the living room camera. I focus on that one, enlarging it on the screen.

It shows Hector walking into the room, and he slaps a maid on the ass as he passes. Is he laughing? The maid smiles and goes back to dusting.

I jerk my head to Star, and she turns, meeting my eyes. “I bet he’s f*****g her,” I say, disgust rising in me. Star’s expression is angry.

I look back at my computer and go back to last Saturday night. “What are you doing?” Star asked.

”If you want to know about someone, look at the most likely days for them to do something. For a single man or woman, that is Friday or Saturday night,” I finish the search and stop at 10 pm and start playing it.

We watch in silence as the shocking scene unfolds in front of us.

There is a party at his house on what appears to be an outside veranda. Women in bikinis around a pool. Men in suits and some in swimming trunks.

I enlarge the camera on the monitor so we can see better.

It doesn’t take long to spot Hector. He is sitting with four other men, laughing and talking. Then he leans forward to the glass coffee table in front of him, picking up a tray and something else.

He brings something small to his nose and then runs a line on the tray. He is doing coke. “f*****g hell, he’s doing drugs,” I blurt out.

Star knows how I feel about drugs with Alex and me growing up with an addict for a mother and drug dealers around all the time.

I look back at the monitor, and as he wipes his nose, a beautiful young woman around my age walks over and climbs into his lap, straddling him.

He grips her ass with both hands and…grinds into her. Then kisses her.

I'm frozen, watching the scene unfold. After all his chasing me and claiming he had changed, he has been doing this. My f*****g gut was right. I’m pissed at being lied to. I f*****g hate liars.

He stands with her wrapped around him and enters the house. Saying something to another woman as he passes. She follows them.

I hit a few keys on my keyboard, changing cameras to follow them. They enter a bedroom and undress.

The woman he carried in gets on her knees and starts sucking him off. He says something to the other woman, and she gets behind him on her knees.

”Is she sucking his balls from behind or eating his ass?” I ask Star, tilting my head to the side. She does the same, trying to figure it out.

I hear a loud roar, “What the f**k are you watching?” Tony covers Star's eyes, and I burst into laughter.

Max enters the room with bags in his hands. He stops and takes in the scene. “f**k Bella, what are you two doing? You're not coming here without us again,” he bellows. I am rolling with laughter now.

Alex and Tim come running in. “What’s going on?” Tim says, then looks at the monitor and smiles.

Alex growls and covers his eyes. “The only d**k you will be looking at is mine lover.” Then he turns to me. “Turn that s**t off, Alice, and explain what is going on.”

It takes me a moment to gather myself at the reaction of the men in our family. Before I exit out of Hector’s cameras, I copy the portion of the video we watched and send it to my phone.

When I hear my phone chime, I put my program away and close out of Hector’s cameras.

Grabbing my coffee, I lean back in my chair. I explained to everyone what Star and I discussed. What they were seeing was him this past Saturday night.

“Are you ok, Alice?” my sweet brother asks. I smile at him. “I’m fine, Alex, but my instincts were right about him. The thought of him now disgusts me. I will make it clear to him to leave me alone.” I say with finality.

“If he keeps bothering you, I will f*****g kill him,” Alex says with a murderous look in his eyes.

“Get in line behind me,” Star says in her lightning voice.

“What the f**k happened to your mouth?” Alex yells, stomping over to me and cupping my face gently.

I sigh, tired of explaining. Star takes pity on me and tells them everything.

“If it's her that gets dropped, I'll enjoy watching her disposal,” Alex states with a grin. I laugh at that because we all know he enjoys them all.

“I’ll handle Hector. Whether it’s over the phone when he contacts me next or when he makes a drop,” I say. They both need to stop being so damn protective.

My phone chimes with a message, and I huff, picking it up.

My frown quickly turns into a smile when I see its muscles. “You owe me a game of poker. Tomorrow night?” It reads. I laugh that he remembers me saying we should play poker sometime.

“I’m busy tomorrow night. How about tonight?” I respond, getting excited. “The sooner, the better, Vikson.” My core spasms at his nickname for me. “Where?” I send back. “Desire, 9 pm. I'll be at the front desk waiting.” My smile broadens. “See you then, Myshtsy.”

I set my phone down and looked up. Everyone is staring at me curiously. I chuckle at them. “It seems I am attending a poker game tonight,” I explain.

“Who is losing all their money?” Alex says with a deep chuckle.

”That was muscles, but I’m guessing Dem will be there too,” I reply.

”Why do you assume they will lose?” Tony asks, and Star laughs, rubbing her hands over her stomach.

“Because Alice can count cards like a pro,” she tells him. He and Max both look at me with raised eyebrows. “Don’t worry, I stay out of casinos. But I love a good private game occasionally,” I say with a mischievous grin.

After I show them around the house, I get ready for my training session with my baby—the thoughts of bringing him home tomorrow running through my head.
