Chapter 124: Blackmail Her

"IN A BAD mood again?" asked Haze when he saw me at the shooting range, practicing. Every shot I fired hit dead center on the target.

I kept imagining Ash as the one I was shooting at, which is why I didn't miss a single shot.

"Hey, damn it! I was just asking!" he complained when I suddenly pointed my gun at him.

He raised both hands as if surrendering, even though I'm not a cop.

"Then don't ask," I said coldly, avoiding his gaze.

I set the gun down on the table and grabbed some wipes from my bag to clean off my sweat. I've been spending most of my days at Parker Company, working my ass off.

I missed shooting practice, so I came here today.

I also needed stress relief. I was about to go to a bar to find someone to f. uck or at least give me some pleasure, but I remembered my last attempt. By some awful coincidence, I ended up inviting Ash, so I decided against it.

I couldn't forget the expression on his face at that time... or the hardness I felt poking against my thigh. Remembering that made me grab the gun again and fire off another round.

When I ran out of bullets, I threw the gun to the floor in frustration.

"Why are you here?" I asked Haze, annoyed. "I don't want company right now. Leave."

That wasn't true. I feel so alone... and I hate that I can't call or visit my kids.

Someone is following me. No matter how careful I am, I'm terrified someone might find where I'm hiding my children.

Haze was about to say something, but I grabbed a dagger from the table and threw it in his direction. He froze as it landed near his foot.
