44. A Showdown
AZURA.
I hadn‘t even gotten to the entrance to the motel when the phone beeped, and I looked down at it.
Judah.
I felt sick and my heart was thumping before I even clicked on it. I hated being around him. I hated how whenever he was near, something always went wrong. I just wished he was gone from my life for good, or better yet, I wish I had never fucking met him.
I looked down at my phone, frowning at the message.
‘I want you to take out any weapons you are carrying, and toss them in that trash bin. Then make your way around the back and up onto the rooftop. Leave the phone there too. Don‘t play
smart, I‘m watching you my Pet.‘
‘He‘s here.‘ I said to Leo through the link, trying to sound as normal as possible.
I hated him with a passion.
I was glad Leo was near... I felt a little at ease.
Stay calm, I‘m right there with you.‘ His voice was powerful, calm, and confident which equates to sexy–as–hell.
But that sick feeling only grew with each step, as I took out the dagger that Leo had given me. He had also given me a few other items which didn‘t really look like weapons, but would give me some protection, although he was sure I wouldn‘t need them.
‘What is with you and all these gadgets? Are you Batman?‘ I asked through the link as I tossed the phone and dagger into the trash. 2 ‘A billionaire with a troubled past and is smart as fuck? Kinda fits, but no, because I‘m not a hero.
You‘re becoming mine... 3
‘Well then Leo Rossi, are you a villain?‘ I asked, almost cursing myself for sounding a tad too flirty.
‘Do you need to label me Azura Rayne Westwood?‘ 1
Maybe?‘ “Then I’m just someone doing what I need to do. Call it whatever the fuck you want. I don‘t need to be a hero or a villain, I‘m just something in between.‘ I spotted the rusty metal steps and looked at them. They led all the way up... slowly I began walking up them, trying not to smile at his tone.
A sharp wind blew, and I scanned my surroundings. 1 ‘Well, I think Batman fits, but then he doesn‘t have a sexy butt, so maybe you can be Buttman

or Sexy Butt?‘ I cackled trying not to laugh out loud. ‘Very amusing... Now focus, where are you headed?‘ ‘He wants me to make my way up to the rooftop.‘
And you didn‘t tell me that? Be careful and do not antagonise him.‘
Understood.‘ I replied, keeping my face blank just in case he was watching me.
The stairs creaked and clanged under my feet as I continued slowly upwards. The noise felt too loud in the silence. An occasional car driving past could be heard, or a street cat.
