Sold To The Gangleader

Chapter One

Tiffany's POV:

Do you ever wish that alarm clocks and School never existed so you could sleep all day? Because I sure wish that they didn't exist, then I wouldn't have to hear the painful beeps of my alarm "Tiffy, wake up," I groaned turning around.

"Mummy said if you don't wake up she'll get Dada," I sat up am stretched my arms out. That was my five-year-old brother Tj. I smiled at him kissing his head, "Okay, you can tell mummy I'm up now," He smiled and rushed out of my room.

I took the chance to go to the bathroom and shower quickly. I got out pulling on my black jeans and a plain tee shirt and a jacket. I put on my shoes and sighing. I was a big heels girl unless it was a special event or something.

I put my hair in a bun and went to the kitchen greeting my parents. A little insight my family, we weren't rich nor were we poor. My mother owns her own flower shop. It pays her enough to get flowers for her shop and for the family. As for my father, I have no idea. My father is was you would classify a drug addict.

Smokes weed all day and drink all night. I have two siblings. Tj and my sister Katlyn who is eight-years-old. Whenever my father gets drunk I get them locked away in my room with the T.V on. I stayed with my mother making sure he didn't touch her. Him being drunk or not give him no right to hit her.

I've seen it happen once when I was ten and once I was old enough I stopped him from hitting her again. I always have. I protected my mother and siblings from him. My only dream in life was seeing my mother's dream come true and that was having her flower shop expanded around everywhere.

I was going to make it happen for her even if it that last thing I do. I've never depended on my parent's money nor did I ever need it from them. I was a strong independent woman. I don't need someone to give me money or tell me what I can or can't do

I'm 21 years old. I have a job that pays me more than I ever need. I offered to help them financially but they wouldn't accept it, "Morning Family," I smiled, "Morning sweetie, did you sleep well?" My mum smiled.

"Yeah, how about you?" she nodded, "do you have work today?" she asked, "I told you, I don't work their anymore I quit. Why?" Now I was curious about what was going on?

"No reason, just wondering" I sighed, "you wondering when I'm going to the job that I quit and told you I quit a million times" I stated.

"Yes Sweetie, I'm sure" she smiled, I sighed, "I don't understand why you stick with him. Your kids are scared of him and want nothing to do with him. I surely don't and I know you don't want us to live in constant fear that we're in danger" I hated my father ever since he hit my mother and started with the drugs. I hated him with a burning passion that ran through my veins.

"You know, I tried Sweetie but it didn't happen," she sighed. I groaned running my hands over my face, "doesn't mean you should quit mum? it hurts me to see this happen to you" I said my eyes stung with new tears.

"That's what family is for. We stick together and fight together. I have a beautiful strong girl. Two adorable kids. And we have your uncles to help us if needed. We'll get through this" She said. I shook my head and took a breath.

"Then where is his respect for women and his family?" I crossed my arms, "we can talk about this another day" she stated. I clenched and un-clenched my jaw, "fine," I growled seeing my poor excuse of a father walk in.

He was followed in by someone I wish never existed, "Tiffany," I snarled, "What did you do!?" my mum shouted. I scoffed letting out a small chuckled, "I already know what he did. Mum should have kicked you out years ago" I spat at him.

I heard a snicker. I turned and was two other guys behind him. I stared at the biggest i***t on planet earth Alexander West and his two Friends Wes Skylar and Noah Adams, "Your husband here sold your daughter to me," Alexander smirked.

"Can I punch him now?" I turned to my mother who had steam coming out of her ears, "I'll take that as a yes" I bawled my hand into a fist and punched my father, "you piece of scum, I wish you brother drowned you as a child" I growled at him.

"Tiffy," I turned to a terrified brother, "Hey buddy," I bent down to him. "Bipolar much?" I heard Noah muttered. I cover my brother's ears, "you better shut the f**k up!" I shouted, "Go upstairs to my room with Kat and turn the T.V on. I'll bring snacks later okay?" he nodded with a smile and ran out.

"KAT!" he shouted making me chuckle, "Okay, let's have a chat shall we?" I sat on the countertop, "you know you could have killed him, would have done us all a favour" I muttered, "Tiffany," my mother gasped.

"What!? his brother even said we're better off without him" I muttered, "I'll have to talk to Kj about this," She grumbled, "can you three hurry the hell up?" I heard a familiar voice speak.

"Molly?" I questioned, "Tiffany!" she squealed. I jumped down from the counter top and she hugged me, "I thought you went to New York," She said. "I was but someone has to put the bastard in his spot" I glared at my father who rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up and pack your things," I raised a brow, "sorry but last time I recalled you weren't my boss," I crossed my arms. He gave me a cold hard stare. I returned it and he looked away, "Pfft...pathetic," I muttered.

"Sassy," Wes laughed making Alexander glare at him, "Tiff- Shut up!" I cut him off, "I wish you died in that accident. I wish mum never married a filthy rat like you. I wish you were dead," I walked out shoving past the boys and to my room.

How was I meant to tell my siblings that their father sold the sister like some slut? My hand shook over the doorknob with fear. I took a deep breath and opened the door and walked in. I smiled at them and paused the show.

"Okay, I need you to listen and before I tell you anything just know I love you so much. I'll always protect you. Okay?" they nodded, "I-I'm moving houses with some people so I won't be around here anymore okay?" I said.

"Why? I don't want you to go?" Tj cried, I pulled myself together and hugged him "It's going to be okay, you don't have to cry" I kissed his head, "are you coming back?" Kat asked. I sighed, "I'll come and visit you but no" her lip trembled.

I pulled her down and hugged her, "No tears okay? I want you to be strong okay? look after mum for me and if anything happens with dad you find from him. don't let him touch you and when I find out I'll deal with him" I kissed each other their heads.

There was a knock on the door, "who is it?" I called out, "this girl," Molly poked her head in, "and I have snacks" she walked in with a tray full of food, "FOOD!" Kat and Tj shouted forgetting what I had just told them.

I chuckled shaking my head, "Okay, I'll let you eat on the bed this time okay, but not wrappers left behind, are we clear?" They nodded and sat up on the bed. Molly placed the Tray in front of them and I played the show again.

I don't remember what the show was but it had thirteen seasons to it. I crawled my way to my closet pulling out my suitcases from under my bed. With the help of Molly, I got everything packed and was ready in half an hour.

I had to big suitcases, two travel bags, a smaller suitcase and my gym bag. Damn did I have a lot of things, "Okay, you two stay out of trouble and kat help mum around the house, I love you both," I kissed them messing up their hair.

Kat groaned while Tj giggled, "Bye, lovelies" I walked out my room with my car keys, "give your keys to Wes. you riding with me." I wanted to hit him for ordering me around but he was stronger than me.

"Get a single scratch on my car and I'll strangle you in your sleep, "I handed my keys to Wes and hugged my mother, "make sure you whoop his ass," I whispered, "Ohh, Just wait till the kids are at school tomorrow and he won't be sitting for the next four months" she smirked.

This side of my mother scared me but It was nice to see she had an evil side, "stay safe baby," she hugged me, "you too, the kids are in my room watching," I stated, "Have fun," Molly whispered leaving with a smirk.

"Wha-Oh Jesus! Molly!" I shouted after her, "Should I ask or?" I groaned and ran out after her, "Molly, you serious? the guy is the biggest-" I shut my mouth when I saw them walk out. "Biggest what?" she questioned loudly getting their attention, "Ugh! I could strangle you right now," I huffed.

"Xander you keep your hands to yourself" she warned him, I facepalmed myself, "could this get any worse?" I wanted the floor to open up and just eat me whole, "Whatever, let go. I don't have all day" he sent us a cold hard glare.

"What makes you think I wanna ride in a car with you?" I crossed my arms, "you don't have a choice now get your ass in the car," he growled. I rolled my eyes, "is he always this annoying?" I asked.

"Any of you answer that, I'll murder you" he spat, "wow, and here I thought made he does have friends and not a bitter heart but looks this I was wrong. you're just a kid hiding behind a shield" he gave me a cold hard glare.

If I worked in the police force for two years and made it alive after all the shooting and gang leaders I've caught. I think I can take this one you perfectly without any help. But something about him makes me think this is a whole new level of violence.

He walked to his car as straight as a stick, "why does he look like there is a stick up his ass?" I questioned, "how he always walk" they laughed. I followed him to his car and got in. I stared at the window and ignored him the whole ride.

I mean do you really expect me to talk to a guy like him after what just happened? No, exactly. I watched as the trees passed by in a flash. It was an hour drive and I hadn't realised we stopped in front of a mansion.

My jaw dropped open then quickly closed it when I heard him chuckle. I opened the door and leaned against the car waiting to see my car. I still didn't talk to him. he sighed and pulled out a packet of cigarettes putting on in between his lips lighting it up.

He took a long and blew out a cloud smoke, "you're killing yourself more" I finally spoke. "What?" he asked, "smoking kills you but if you tell someone that they either say they are already dying or it's for stress" I stated.

"Knowing your past and your criminal record somethings killing you but you're just speeding up the process" I explained. he chuckled, "you do your research," he took another puff, "I do my research about everyone who's in a gang" I stated.

Soon my car pulled up clean and fresh as it always has been. Wes got out locking my car handing me my keys. I took them from him and Noah appeared in one car and Molly in the other "let's go, we can get someone for your bags.

We headed inside and I was just amazed at the inside as the out. I hid my badge that I had yet to return from everyone to save me from the trouble from these people, "isn't their two more of you?" I asked, "they're out right now" I rolled my eyes.

"You mean a drug shipment" they turned to me, "what? I'm not stupid," I muttered, "you can get Molly to pat me down. I have no wires on me." I stated, "Molly pat her down" I laughed. I let her pat me down and she found nothing.

"No earpiece. No calls ongoing. Plus, I get you in there I lose my job by him" I pointed to Alexander. They walked off and I was stuck following Alexander. I'm guessing this is our room, "this is where we'll be sleeping," he muttered. Called it.

Walls were painted a brown or grey couldn't really tell the colour of the walls. A queen-sized bed against the wall with to mirrors on either side of the bed with stand connected to it. There was a small couch in front off the bed.

On the side of the room, there were two smaller couches with a round coffee table in front of the fireplace. There was an opening the lead to the bathroom and the closet I'm guessing

"Bathroom, then your wardrobe is the one on the left," he pointed to the doors, I sighed and nodded. you think I would be occupied with what's happening now but the truth is I wasn't. My mind was distracted that my next case is my last case before I quit.

"I have work to do" with that said he walked out. I rolled my eyes and walked into the bedroom when Wes and Noah walked in with my bags and another guy doesn't know him but he's cute "jeez, what did you bring? all of Italy?" Wes muttered putting my bags down making me laugh.

"More like Europe" I grinned making him roll his eyes, "Okay, beat it, so She can unpack," A girl walked in with Molly, She stared at the unknown guy and smiled. Once he left she blushed, "You're blushing Lauren," Molly laughed at her.

"Not my fault" She casually shrugged then came to me, "hi, I'm Lauren," she put her hand out. I smiled and shook its hands, "I'm Tiffany," I smiled.

"Lauren here has a crush on Adam," so that's what his name was, "you would suit him," I said making her blush, "So, um you want some help unpacking?" I nodded, "That would be great Lauren," I opened my closet and walked in.

We started unpacking and getting to know each other better, "so you were a detective but why did you quit?" Lauren asked, "Honestly, something didn't click anymore. When I started working I loved it but things just started to fall out" I stated.

"So who was your partner?" Molly asked, "Jack and before you think of anything his married with two kids" I stated. disappointment flashed in their eyes, "Wait...Jack? as in the one who had a crush on you in high school?" I nodded.

"How did he survive having a crush on you and being your partner?" I shrugged, "have to ask him that" I stated putting away my bags, "damn Wes wasn't kidding. you do have all of Italy with you" Lauren laughed as we walked out.

"And like I said, It’s more like Europe" I plopped down on the bed, "Girls get down here dinner's ready" Wes called out, "you coming?" I shook my head.

"It's food. Of course." I got up and left the room with the girls. I followed behind Molly with Lauren heading to the dining room. And let me just tell you my soul fainted. There are so many good-looking guys.

I did my best to not stare but most of them WERE SHIRTLESS!! "I could get used to this," I muttered, "Oh I did too. just imagine the fantasy I come up with" I scrunch my nose in disgust, "shouldn't you be having those about you know who?" I questioned.

"Oh shut up," she scoffed as we sat down. Lucky me, I was stuck next to Lauren and wait for it...Alexander. He had been staring at me since I walked into the room. It wasn't a stare. He was glaring at me.

I raised a brow at him and turned to the girls, "Someone’s jealous," Molly muttered, "Lauren's lover boy would be jealous if he heard what she told me" I smirked making her smack my arm, "what? It's true," I laughed.

"Kinkiest s**t I have yet to hear and I thought Noah was bad" Wes muttered. Chatter soon filled the room. Everyone was talking but for one. He looked as if he was ready to murder everyone in the room.

"That's Tyrese. he's the quietest one out of us all. Barely even talks to anyone. It's rare to get him talking and hard." Lauren said. That wasn't what caught my attention about him, "do you know he’s wearing a mic?" I asked.

I felt Alexander stiffen beside me looking at me then Tyrese. He looked over at me then left the room. He heard what we were talking about. I got up and left after him. Not suspicious at all, "Nice mic" I stood behind him. He froze and slowly turned around to me.

Alexander walked out and stood next to me, "how do you know exactly?" he asked, "you're speaking to a girl who was a detective. You have to look at everything you have to know what you're dealing with." I stated.

"b***h," I heard him mutter, "can I punch him?" I clenched my jaw tightly, "What are you going to do slap me?" he scoffed, "you better choose your next words carefully before feed you, your d**k," I seethed.

"Enough!" I flinched but didn't let it show. I stepped back glaring at him, "weak" He muttered. I growled and pushed him against the wall by his collar. I pulled the mic out throwing it at the wall smashing into pieces.

I punched him in the face, "you should know to never piss off a girl pal because that's your one-way ticket to hell." I smashed his head against the wall. His eyes drifted to the back of his head his body dropped to the floor

"Who's weak now?" I scoffed and turned around. Everyone looked at me shocked, "what? I'm not going to go walking around in this area without being able to defend myself" I shrugged, "That...was awesome," Lauren squealed.

"Her strength is amazing," I heard someone say. People started murmuring, "Okay, I get. Girls are meant to weak and helpless you sexist pigs. stop stereotyping women because we may seem like angels but truly we're nothing but devils" I stated.

"Tie him up and you." he pointed at me, "we need to have a talk," I rolled my eyes. He walked away and I followed him. I took my time slowly up the stairs after him to the THIRD FLOOR! How many floors does this house have?!

He pushed open and door and came up and library, "What do you want to talk about?" I crossed my arms, "We need to get a few things straight" he stated, "you mean as in rules that are going to make me get more pissed off at you than I already am. Okay, cool talk" I stated.

"Well for starters, I make the orders around here not you. you stay out of the east side of the house. you do not leave this house without my permission what so ever. you don't disturb my men they have work to." he listed and continued.

"You don't argue with me, what I said goes which means you listen to my orders and mine only. No backchat, no cussing at me, no fighting with anyone and no boys" the last one made me smirk.

"Well, maybe you shouldn't have such good-looking men," I crossed my arms making him growl. He stepped closer to me grabbing me by the chin. I looked up into his chocolate brown eyes. He stared at my lips licking his.

I kept smirking, "maybe I could get Lauren to introduce me to some of your men" he glared smashing his lips on mine. his lips were so warm and soft, His arm snaked around my waist pulling me closer to him. I knew I was going to regret this.

I put my hands on his neck kissing him back. My heart fluttered from his kiss. A tingle sensation went through my body as his hands roamed my body. I haven't felt this way for so long. I honestly missed it.

I missed the process of falling in love again. But he broke me. I was torn apart because of what he did to me and here I am afraid to love again scared it might happen again. I pulled away hanging my head low. I was weak maybe not in strength but my heart was weak.

I didn't want to fall for him I know it's not going to end well. One of us was bound to get hurt. I pulled away hanging my head low. I had built up a wall. A wall that was built high enough for no one to climb over.

A wall long enough for no one to walk around and strong enough for no one to break through it. This wall was placed on my heart. Times I wish I never met him but yet again, I would never know what type of guy is out there.

Why am I even talking about falling in love? It was just a kiss. But some relationships start with a kiss. Ugh! this is more confusing than math. I didn't know him. He was a complete stranger.

'A stranger that you just kissed' a voice in my head spoke

I mentally rolled my eyes at the voice. I looked up to meet his eyes. They stared at me trying to read my mind. His stare was intense, "done trying to read my mind?" I questioned. He looked away to avoid my sight. I chuckled shaking my head.

"I'm going if we're done here," I moved out of his arms instantly feeling cold. I turned on my heels and walked out heading back the way we came. I heard laughter from what I supposed was the living room and walked in.

I need to talk to the girls, "Has anyone seen Lauren or Molly?" I asked, "there in the kitchen with Adam and Wes," one said, "let's hope I don't walk in on a foursome" I sighed walking out. I heard some laugh.

I went into the kitchen with my eyes covered, "Please say the boys have their pants on" I said, "you can look, Tiffany," Molly said. I moved my hands and they were wearing pants but no tops.

"What is wrong with you boys and being topless every minute?" I asked, Adam, rolled his eyes "Is it illegal to be shirtless now?" Wes asked. "Get shirts on now you fuckwits" Alexander walked in.

"I'm gonna go and shower" I turned around and walked out. I went straight to the bathroom and locked the door. I started at my reflection splashing water on my face

'Someone has a crush. Oh, la-la' that voice tease. I growled at it sighing. What if I am? I can't. All I need to do is stay away from him and I won't catch feeling right?

'Wrong! you i***t, you'll be sleeping in the same bed as him every night'

I could always sleep with one of the girls.

'Well, Lauren is busy with Adam and Molly is busy with Wes. Sure'

I groaned sinking to the floor, "Tiffany, get your butt out here, we need to have a talk" Lauren called out. I unlocked the door and saw him sitting on the bed. I pulled the girls in and locked the door again.

'If you don't like him why are you hiding from him' I could see that smirk on the voices face. if it even has a face "what was that stunt in the kitchen about?" she asked and shushed her. "would you keep it down?" I hissed.

"What? Why? do you like him?" Molly asked, "Yes, no maybe, Ugh! I don't know I know nothing about the guy" I sat on the toilet seat, "Wait, what happened when you talked?" Molly asked. I laughed nervously.

"You see..." They raised a brow at me, "you didn't? didn't he? you kissed?" She gasped. I blushed, hiding my face, "you kissed him back? didn't you?" She asked again "Maybe," I muttered. They squeals echoed in the bathroom.

"Jesus Christ my ears," I covered them, "Sorry," they smiled at me. "I can't believe it. it finally happened"

"What finally happened?" I asked them, "He's falling," Lauren squealed. My eyes widened, "No, no, no. Impossible he knows nothing about me" I said, "that's what you think. He does his research about people" Molly said.

"He knows and finds out everything," Lauren added, "like I know everything about them but nothing too personal" I stated. I know things about him but not everything. What every he has that is personal I don't know anything about sadly.

"One thing I have to ask you," Lauren said, "don't let him shut his feelings away again, if he does open to you don't let it go. We made it past once. I don't think we can make it again. Please don't let him shut us out again?" she asked.

I groaned running my hands over my face and through my hair, "Where's your mother when you need her?" I sighed, "I can't do this again, I can't," I said out loud, "can’t do what again?" they questioned.

"Nothing don't worry about it," I mumbled. I wish I could forget it all, "Tiffany, you okay?" I nodded, "yeah, I'm okay," I lied, I never was and I don't think I will be okay after that. "Okay, we better get out of here before they started questioning us," Molly said.

"They probably will" I zoned out for the rest of the conversations. images and memories flashed my mind. I blinked back my tears.

It's never going away.
