"Um, what did I do?" I ask one of the people staring at me. She almost looks like she had a heart attack when I talked to her.
"Y-you're linked with Richard Arrow?"
"Oh, both his sons are my friends," I reply casually. A squeak escapes her mouth.
"Why are you at the hospital?" She asks.
"I'm visiting another friend. Adrian Black." You really can't shut up, can you?
This time, she doesn't even attempt to hide a scream. "H-how a-are you friends with both rival gangs?"
I shrug. Is that why they were staring at me? Because I'm linked with Kaden Arrow? "Well, nice talking to ya. I'ma go now," I smile at her, and she nearly faints. Damn. I feel like a celebrity, but I shrug it off and walk into the hospital, going straight to Adrian's room.
Well, after getting a visitor thing or whatever. I walk boldly into his room to see Anna and Blake already there. And there's someone else too. Ava. What does she want?
"Is there any way your face can heal without scars? I mean... we won't be able to look like a hot couple anymore," She rants, and I frown. As always, Adrian stays quiet when he's being hurt.
I notice Blake gripping Anna's waist in an attempt to hold her back, as Anna glares down Ava. Anna's really protective of people she loves. Maybe that's why she got mad at me when I said I wouldn't come to visit Adrian.
"Bitch, who let you in?" I snarl, finding myself glaring at her as well. Ava's head snaps towards me, and she tilts her head in an annoyed manner. "Adrian and you are over."
She scoffs, rolling her gorgeous eyes. I just have to take a minute to process how beautiful she is. Is it even possible for a human to be that hot? Too bad her personality sucks ass. "Well, I was just checking up on him."
"Yeah, and now that you're done, let me drop kick you to hell," Anna retorts furiously. "I heard that in hell, they boil you in oil," She sneers.
"Of course you know that. Did they give you a tour of your future home beforehand?" Ava retaliates. Damn, they're quite good at comebacks. Blake's grip tightens on Anna.
"Ha, as if. That's where I rose from, so it's natural if I knew about it."
For a split second, I make eye contact with Adrian and a glimpse of hurt is seen through them.
"Whatever, I wouldn't want to date someone who's not hot anymore anyway," Ava snarls, and proceeds to strut out of there. Anger boils through me as she approaches the door, and my fists act before my brain does and I find them making contact with Ava's ribs.
"I should be the one punching her, Blake! Lemme go, I wanna join!" Anna shouts.
"Y-you punched me..." She gapes, taking a minute to process it. Then she lunges at me, but I instantly duck and she crashes into the corner of the door. "I'm telling my father!" She cries out as a slight red mark appears on her face.
I smirk. "Oh really? And what's your daddy going to do about it?"
"He'll order my brother to shoot you!"
"Woe is me!" I flail my arms dramatically. "Is there anything that can save me now?" I cover my face with my hands and pretend to sob.
"Ha! Act all you want now," Ava sneers before storming out of the room. I roll my eyes at her and take out my phone and call Cabby. He picks up.
"Yes, princess?" I fake a very realistic sob. "Princess, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Someone just punched me," I cry.
"Sweetheart, are you okay?"
"No," I slightly cough. "She punched my stomach. I feel like throwing up." I'm a very good actress if I say so myself, especially since I know how a punch to the guts feel.
"Who hurt you?" His voice suddenly darkens, and I feel the corners of my lips twitch.
"No, I-" I sniffle. "I wouldn't want to trouble you."
"Tell me."
"Ava Arrow."
I hear him make a noise at the back of his throat. "What did she do, sweetheart?" I glance at my audience. Adrian and Blake look like they're making several calculations inside their heads, while Anna is giving me an incredulous look that says 'what man is more powerful than Adrian Black or Richard Arrow?'
"She... was with me, and I don't know what I said to make her mad. I swear, I didn't mean to... not." I muttered the last part under my breath. "And now she wants me K.I.A..." I fake sob, but it's really realistic. "I don't want to be K.I.A'd. Please help me."
"Don't worry, darling. No one's hurting you on my watch," He assures. "I promise."
"T-thank you. You're such an amazing friend," I sniffle.
"Don't cry, princess. Never really liked Ava anyway."
"Please don't hurt her... not," I say the last part under my breath so he can't hear it. What? He said to call him whenever I needed him. I'm making maximum use of that because if I tell Adrian, the bracelet/tracker and men following me will return.
And it gives me the satisfaction that I have my own mafia links.
"Alright, princess. I'll see you later?"
"Sure, Cabby," I smile, but for realism, add a sniffle in there. Then I hang up and look up at the three confused people.
"Y-you're going to get the cab driver killed," Blake starts. "Have you no mercy?"
"Nah, I don't really think Richard Arrow would kill him."
"What makes you say that?" Adrian chimes in.
"Female intuition," I smirk, and the two men continue to make calculations in their heads.
"What mafia does he run?" Anna asks, but I ignore her completely because I do recall her saying 'Never talk to me ever again.' Call me petty but I'm going to do this.
I take a seat next to Adrian on this luxurious bed and wink. "Bailey, you don't know how dangerous Richard Arrow is," He starts, concern plastered on his face. "Forget Richard Arrow, he not in action anymore, it's his son you should be worried about."
"Dylan won't hurt me."
"That boy won't hurt a fly. I'm talking about Kaden Arrow."
"Hm, tell me more about him."
"He's dangerous. That's all you need to know," He replies
"Nah, tell me more."
"He's manipulative, powerful, skilled, everything you need for a future leader," Blake tells me and I nod.
"More?"
"If he's got respect for you, he'll take a bullet for you, he'll fire a bullet for you, and everything in between," Anna adds. "But if he doesn't have respect for you, he's being civil to you for his own selfish needs."
"Anything else, Adrian?"
"Oh, Adrian and Kaden have some unsettled conflicts," Blake adds and Adrian shoots a look at Blake which he completely ignores.
I raise an eyebrow. So that's why Kaden's getting close to me. Pfft, two can play at this game. "Is that all?"
"Pretty much."
"Thank you for all the information on my Cabby," I grin and Adrian's eyes widen whilst Blake simply has a mini heart attack. I don't really pay attention to Anna.
"I think... I think I'm going to leave..." Blake mumbles, walking out of the hospital suite. As always, Anna follows him out.
"Cabby... huh?" Adrian drawls darkly. Maybe I shouldn't have told them?
