(Aaliyah’s POV)
In the days that followed, I got right down to business.
With Naomi back at my side and Jaime begrudgingly involving me in plans to take down my father, it seemed like I was on a roll.
Jaime fed me with bits and pieces of Skull info to keep my family at bay, and I had to admit, it really did work. My father was satisfied with the ‘impressive work’ that I was doing. He believed that Jaime and I had gotten back together, that I was working my schemes to strip his gang of everything they owned for the good of the Crypts, and as for my mother and sister, it seemed that I finally had their respect since my father now related to me on more favorable terms, but to hell with them.
As for Jaime, no, we weren’t back together.
It was just a lie I had told to get my family eat
