way."

"Are there any restaurants nearby?"

"There's the La Rouge De Va Lu Grand Banquet restaurant. Reservation only."

"Got it," I replied. I immediately began searching them up and called them. They picked up after three rings. "Bonjour. Sorry, but we're fully booked t-"

"My name is Willow De Luca," I cut her off. "I also go by William De Luca. I'm actually a short distance from your restaurant and I'm absolutely adoring the menu. I was wondering if there were any VIP tables available?"

The girl sounded shocked as she struggled to speak.

"O-O-Of course! We can get those reservations made right away. We'll work on getting you a VIP spot. How many?"

"Potentially four. My driver can aid with parking one of the cars in the valet, but we'll need one more."

"No worries! We can even provide you two valet pick-ups. Please let your driver join you."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome!" she squealed, and I hung up.

"We're here," Jayce announced. I was already putting my phone on record. I pressed a special alert button, and slipped it into my bra. Sliding on my sunglasses, I got out of the car and approached what surely was an unauthorized stop.

I was in full-on power mode when I noticed Neo was outside the car with a large officer standing far too close to him. I could tell from his clenched fists that he was mad, but he continued to wear his sunglasses, which mostly made the officer think he was being a badass. Five other officers stood close by while Viktor was off to the side and looking so pissed, I was pretty positive he'd burst a blood vessel any minute now.

Bypassers already had their phones out, recording the scenario as the police officer was literally spitting remarks out.

"By standard law, you can't decline my request to identify you! I'm only asking you one more time. I.D or I'm handcuffing you and you'll enjoy a night sleeping on the cold floor in jail.”

The moment a few bystanders noticed my approach, they squealed, while others sighed in relief. "WILLOW!"

The officers looked my way and I could tell the main officer causing the commotion was going to be sleek, using the distraction to try to reach for Neo's arm.

"Even touch my boyfriend and I'll have you fired, sued, and in jail in a matter of forty-eight hours," I boldly declared, only three steps from the two of them.

"Excuse me? You can't interfer-"

Now I was right in between them, and the way I looked at this man had his eyes widening at the pulsating energy pushing out of me in waves. The other police officers literally stepped back as if they were being stung by an intense heatwave, while a bunch of bystanders rushed over to cheer me on.

"Willow! Tell him!"

"Get a reporter! The police are harassing Willow De Lua and her boyfriend!"

"I'm here on Facebook Live and as you can see, the police are desperately trying to start a feud against Neo, the famous artist, by asking him for his I.D. and threatening to throw him in jail! Willow just came out of nowhere to protect him! Holy fuck!"

"Unbelievable! Are they trying to racially profile Neo?!"

"I bet it's because he has a bunch of Mexican ties!"

"Those officers should be arrested!"

"BOO!"

The crowd got louder and louder, causing an uproar, but I was still having a staring contest with this fucker.

"I don't care who you are. Your boyfriend is under arrest."

"For?" I inquired.

"He was reported for suspicious activity!"

"Oh really? Why don't we elaborate on what suspicious activity my boyfriend, Neo Rodriguez, the famous artist and one of the recently appointed VPs of Forbidden Enterprise that's been all over the news for weeks now, would be doing?"

It seemed to now dawn on him who Neo was, but it didn't stop him from trying to defend his actions - especially with multiple cameras recording this encounter.

"It was reported that a man with red hair was seen observing the area multiple times. We were informed that he is a part of a cartel and was planning to lay a bomb in the area."

"Wow." I tried to act shocked. "You know, that would be almost believable if you didn't use the word 'observing' in your false statement."

"You have no righ-"

"I was NOT finished talking," I practically growled, and he was forced to shut the fuck up. My patience was so thin that Bria was literally on the border of pushing me to shift, her nose mere centimeters from the wall that kept her at bay.

"Tell me,
