Emanation

Sledge

Nick screwed me over and stole over a kilo of cocaine. The stupid bastard didn't have the cash, so he gave me her instead-Ava.

I quickly realize this woman has no idea what Nick did. He made her think she was getting a position at our club as our MC's doc. Nick owed me over 120k and the moment she didn't get her paycheck, she confronted me. I had to tell her everything, and in that moment she viewed me in an entirely different light.

I saw the stares. We had hidden moments. Hidden closeness. But I couldn't go down this path again. My demons plague my mind and claw at me night after night.

I've fallen in love with a woman before and she was taken from me. She was killed and I won't ever put another woman in that position, even if Ava is so very tempting.
