Griffin groaned in disbelief, fuck! Why does he of all people have to be Shortie's husband?
"You certainly piss me off Diego" Griffin mumbled, his gaze turning cold as he began to step towards Diego's direction.
Diego did the same, approaching him too. "I told you to take my name out of your fucking mouth"
Deadly glare locked, aura filled with fury as they marched towards themselves.
Griffin was the first to attack, sending a punch towards Diego's face but it was blocked. Diego smirked at the intensity, that only woke the crazy excitement in him. Griffin didn't stop his brutal attack, both having a grin on their face.
When Diego sent his own too, his punch narrowly missed Griffin's face causing him to stumble back. Before he could regain his balance, Diego attacked again.
"Not bad asshole" Diego's punch hit the wall when Griffin managed to dodge.. the wall cracked at the intensity.
"Well ain't in prison for nine years, sitting and doing nothing. I'm glad you became stronger too.." Griffin's grin widened. "That will only make it more exciting"
The two attacked each other again, sending deadly punches to themselves. However, the devil's anger only made him stronger.. the fact that this bastard was hitting on his wife, made his killing instinct arise.
Diego's hit got the Griffin, bursting one side of his lips. Holding his neck, he roughly hit Griffin's back on the wall.
"I know there's nothing good in you. You'll never change!" He roared.
Griffin laughed even with the pain Diego's attack had inflicted.
"I'm glad you know," Griffin mumbled, bumping his forehead with Diego. He immediately used the opportunity to swing Diego down to the floor but that didn't happen.. Diego swirls himself, not giving him the chance.
Candy was in Panic mode, these two fights were intense and fast, are they going to kill each other here? The atmosphere would make anyone shrink in fear. They were not giving each other a chance to breathe.
She watched Griffin manage to punch Diego on the waist. Holding the same hand, Diego forcefully hit it, Griffin groaned.. a punch flew to his face. Griffin dodged the next attack.
Candy's phone rang, flashing Yazmine's name on the screen. Gawd! She must be waiting for her.
Diego swiftly brought out a small dagger and swung it towards Griffin's face. The blade narrowly missed him, cut some part of Griffin's black hair.
Candy's eyes widened. Diego is going to kill him. Griffin saw the look on Candy's face and thought of something.
In the next moment, Diego shoved the dagger into Griffin's stomach.
"Di!!!" Candy exclaimed, not able to take the scene anymore.
Diego removed the knife made to stab Griffin's face.
"Diego stop!!!" Candy exclaimed, stepping forward.
The blade stabbed the wall behind Griffin's instead. Both stopped as they stared at each other, sweating and breathing hard.
"For nine years, your name has been on my wall Diego. Each time I look at it, my hatred for you grows stronger. Do you wish to act like a jerk before your pretty wife?" Griffin asked, glancing over at Candy.
Diego drew out the knife and stabbed the wall again. Griffin's attention turned back to him.
"I'm not sparing you because I want to. Your death shouldn't be this easy. I'm gonna show you those barricades are way better for you to be out here.." Diego drew his lips close. "Thinking of how much I'm going to torture you, makes me feel excited Grief..."
Griffin clenched his jaw. Diego smirked and let go of him.
Candy breathed out in relief. Diego held her hand and led her to the car, opening the door.
"Get in!" He demanded, and Candy quickly obeyed.
As they zoom off, silence hung in the car for a while until Diego broke it.
"Since when did you know him?" Diego asked coldly.
"I only met him twice before the birthday party. We didn't talk much.."
"Didn't talk much? And he called you shortie? A nickname?"
"Are you perhaps suspecting us?"
"You trust people a lot, Candy. Humans are way more complicated than you imagine.."
"So, what do you think I should do? I have no idea he was like this" Candy defended.
Diego sighed, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. "I think you should be careful, Candy. Not everyone has good intentions, especially when they start calling you pet names after just meeting you twice."
Candy didn't want to argue, she had no strength for it so she nodded slowly, chewing on her bottom lip.
"I'll be more cautious from now on."
Diego glanced at her briefly, a hint of concern in his eyes. "Just promise me you'll be safe, okay?"
"I promise," Candy replied softly.

"Huh? A girl asked you that?" Yazmine frowned at Jameson's explanation.
"Yeah. She had a fierce look on her face when she asked. 'Did you see me as a woman?' Of course, she is a woman, why should she ask?" He blinked in confusion.
Yazmine shook her head in disbelief.
"What a terrible IQ you have, brother. You must have frustrated the young lady with your ignorance" Yazmine rolled her eyes.
"Ignorance? Am I missing something?" He asked.
"She likes you, dummy. She likes you a lot and seeing that you have no idea upsets her"
Jameson froze for a moment. Yazmine let him think for a while before speaking again.
"It was Jackie, wasn't it?"
"Huh? How.. did you know?" Jameson stuttered.
"It's obvious Jameson. She never left your side ever since your accident. She hated herself for keeping your secret" She muttered.
Jameson remained silent.
"Don't tell me you're still into Candy" She shook her slightly hoping her brother would say no.
"I don't know what to think," Jameson mumbled.
"Really James! Can you just wake up? Jackie really cherishes you. Can't you just try her out?!"
"What if I don't feel the same, huh? Look.. I'll just figure it out okay? Things are just getting complicated.. Griffin is out and Romeo is in town.. a bloody battle might break out soon" Jameson picked up his coffee to drink.
"Diego and Griffin had a fistfight last night..."
Hearing this, Jameson spat back his drink and looked up in shock.
"Candy told me"
"Holy shit! Is she okay?"
Yazmine raised a brow at him.
"I'm just worried for a friend. I'll do the same thing if it was Jackie" Jameson cleared her thought.
"She's fine. I'm glad I was able to handle last night's client anyway" She said. Her phone buzzed as a message popped in.
*BABE, I HOPE YOU DIDN'T FORGET OUR DATE*
Yazmine bit down her lips as she read Aiden's message. She blushed and immediately replied.
*I DIDN'T, I'LL BE THERE SOON*
She looked up from her phone and found Jameson staring at her. Her smile dropped and cleared her throat.
"What was that?" He asked curiously.
"Nothing"
"You just blush"
"I said it's nothing, focus on your coffee. I'm going somewhere!" She snapped and huffed in anger. Jameson's face turned pale.
"What's with her? I just asked a question" He pouted. Taking his coffee again his thought went back to Jackie.
He picked up his phone immediately and dialed her number.

After giving Hannah her food and medication, Vincent tucked her to bed. His face dropped with sadness staring at his wife's condition.
Her wounded skin was beginning to heal, though it still hurt when the medicine was applied.
"Let me go!!!"
With a frown, Vincient's head snapped towards the door. Is there a fight in the hospital?
"It took me days to find this place so let go! Let me go kill that bitch who murdered my father!"
The voice came again and Vincent felt unsettled.
Soon, the door slammed open revealing Venessa breathing hard, her hair messy and her eyes burning with fury when they settled on Hannah.
