A Sinners Gamble Chapter 32: Hello Princess
AntonioI couldn't believe it.I couldn't stay seated throughout the whole flight. I waited on bated breath for my brother to phone back and say it was a mistake. A mistaken identity or some shit but when I showed up at the beach and saw C.J. With barely any colour on her face I knew."You lied! You fucking lied to me!" I shout to her. My brother gets on my way but I don't allow him to get too far in the way."I'm sorry! I'm sorry okay I had to.""No! No, you fucking didn't! I mourned my fucking wife with you and the whole family and you lied to me! You knew she was alive and you kept it from me! From everyone" I shout drawing attention to us."Calm the fuck down, man. Don't speak to her like that!" He says getting into my face and I respect him for protecting her. I managed to shower and shave, get sobered up and have an actual meal on the flight here but the nerves are settling in big time."Where is she?" I ask pinching the bridge of my nose.She points to the woman sitting on the

DaisyDaisy: Can you pick Clara up from nursery? I need to start talking now.A moment passes before her text comes through.C.J.: Of course. Go home. Get showered and I'll come home later with her. Be careful okay and take your meds when you get home.I hid my phone when I read her last message, but I knew he'd seen it. It doesn't take a genius to know he's seen it, as the phone seemed to be resting on my lap in full view of the chat."The house is a bit of a mess. I mean-" I try to explain as he pulls out of the beach carpark. I rang Clara's nursery to let them know it would be C.J. picking her up instead of me and they seemed fine with it."Princess it's fine. I want to see where you live for now" he says and I don't mention the fact that I can't go back to New York where I'll be eaten alive by everyone.I let his idea slide as I stand and keep a safe amount of distance between us. It's been nearly 15 months since I have seen him, that's 456 days without him and yes, I know it is m

Antonio"Daze?" I say trying to get a look at what's going on but I can't see anything. I don't even know if I can forgive her right now but the broken look in her eyes makes me want to hold her tightly to me. "I'm okay. I just remembered actually that I need...I need some things from the shop down the road...I, I won't be too long" She says and I can tell it's all bullshit but I won't call her out on it. If she 7#doesn't want to be around me then I will have to try harder soon to get her to see that we are a family and a family will always stick together. "Daisy" C.J. says but Max stops her when the front door closes. "So this is my niece?" Max says as he approaches Clara, taking her little hand in his."It is. This is my princess" I say snuggling myself into her neck and tickling her with my beard which makes her laugh. She's got such a beautiful, carefree laugh that I just can't stop the tears from falling."What's wrong with Daisy?" Max asks and then I remember she left. "I-""

DaisyI run like there's no tomorrow. I didn't want to stay in there and watch as my world came crashing down.I remember what my therapist told me the moment I slowed down."Write down your thoughts and feelings. Give yourself a meaning to believe that everything will work out the way you want it to""Good fucking words doc" I cry. The waves crash against the rocks next to the pier. That feeling you get when you feel like your whole world is falling apart just as you get everything together again.I don't blame Antonio for wanting nothing to do with me. I guess his life is changing now and no matter what he wants, he's got to have me a part of it.I guess I could just move into my own place, he can have Clara when he wants but I refuse to give him full custody of her.I may not be stable sometimes and I may need that little bit of help but I am a good mom!I repeat that mantra in my head while I listen and watch as the waves continuously crash against the rocks."I was told I'd find

Antonio I watch as Clara eats her food. My mind and body are just observing the way she doesn't bother with who is around her but she is quick to watch Daisy's movements. I understand why she did it, why she changed her name and moved and I want to phone my mother and father. Inform them of everything that's happened but my gut is telling me to wait a while so that Daisy can get used to having me around again. Standing at the kitchen Island, I watch her with our daughter...just waiting for her to finish so I can help with bedtime and watch over her so my wife can sleep. Max and C.J. have gone out for the night and he told me he would be booking them into a hotel with some of our men standing guard for protection. "You ready for your bath baby?" Daisy asks Clara as she clears her food away. I don't move, I don't think the shock of everything happening has worn off yet."Dada" she squeals "Dada bath." She says as she sticks her arms out to me. "Hi Princess," I say extending my arms o

Antonio"You know I hate being called in this early" My underboss Xanders says as he sits in the chair across from me."Yeah well, I needed a plan on something and I couldn't ask my brother seems how he's just arrived back from Italy. In a foul mood" I point out."Of course. What's going on?""I've got the casinos usually standard inspection today and I have to be present but I need you to pick a guy up for me""Go on" he says casually sitting in the chair eating a mars bar."Jerry Harrison.""And who is he may I ask?""An idiot with a problem"Jerry Harrison is an addict. Drugs, alcohol and gambling.You name it, he's probably done it. The idiot decided it be best to take a gamble in my casino last night and raked up a good amount of debt. He's been told to not enter unless he knows he can pay after his tab is cleared and yet the CCTV footage showed a clear image of him thinking he can walk away.Not for much fucking longer."What's he done?""He tried to put his hands up 3 waitresse

DaisyEverything seems to go well these days.My job has been relaxing to a degree. I love the feel of walking down each aisle, running my fingers along the spine of books and feeling like I have the world at my feet.Some parts of my life I wish would stay hidden which is why I ended up in central London.It's busy and I more than likely have a higher chance of getting hit by a car than ever seeing my father again which is a disturbing bonus if I might add."Daisy doo" C.J. shouts as I head through the door. It's September which in London means the weather is short old. Thankfully we had a good summer but now it seems like the rainy season is about to hit.Big time."Yeah?" I shout back. We share a 2 bedroom place and half all bills which works well for us. C.J. works at the doctors as a mental health nurse whereas I work at our local 3-floor library."You have a package. It's a big package today" she says which is still bizarre. Yesterday I received a bracelet in the mail. Expensive

Just before we arrived at her place of home I told myself it would be a quick proposal of what I wanted and then I would leave.Money was supposed to be the main idea, but then I saw her and I couldn't pass off the opportunity to get her with my ring on her finger. It was a quick decision I shouldn't have made. I like my life the way it is and I have always said I don't want nor do I need a woman to change that lifestyle. I assumed with my aura and power radiating everywhere that she would obey and agree but what I didn't expect was for her to not give a rat's ass about her father.The man raised her if all that he says is correct. We didn't do an extensive search on her background just her details and where she lived just to make sure he wasn't a lying son of a bitch on top of being a thieving bastard. "Did you manage to get it?" I ask my brother as we get back in the car."By get it do you mean her phone and her friend's phone signal to hack into?""Yeah that," I say to Max as I

Daisy (Also known as Katie)"So I'm trying to plan for a party and I need some ideas" C.J. Says as she is most likely pacing in our home. I've just got off the bus to go and pick Clara up with 2 hours to spare so I nip into a shop and pick up the things that we need and then I do my usual routine of sitting on the beach with a decaf cup of tea.I started work a few weeks ago so I wasn't using my best friend's money all the time even though she does mind but I quite enjoy the pace of keeping my mind sort of active.When I had my little girl I went into a spiral of depression, I would only get out of bed to tend to Clara but it only got worse.I gained weight and I became a different person and no matter what tablets I went on I always felt like they weren't working.When she was 5 weeks old I was admitted and sectioned into a hospital with her and placed on evaluation after evaluation to see what was wrong with me.My outbursts, slow mood, stress, changes to my eating and sleeping and
A Sinners Gamble Chapter 30: Your wife is Alive
Antonio"Hello there handsome"I don't even look at the sultry, yet screechy voice that sat right next to me.In the last year and a bit, I haven't so much as touched another woman let alone stare after one.My living room in our wing has photos of my wife. It's become a small shrine for her.Some photos of her and her best friend, (I'm sure that they are more for my brother's sake on that one) it consists of some items of hers that I could never get rid of.I'm brought back to the moment when the woman snakes her fingers over my biceps which catches my attention."What?" I snap. I don't intend to but obviously, she doesn't see my wedding band on my finger or she's just a pure bitch with "Marry me money" on her forehead."Wondering if you're up for a good time tonight? I'm in town and it could be a lot of fun" she says touching my arm and running her long, blood-red nails down to where my belt is."I'm married," I say out of habit. Even when good-looking women try to seduce me, I'm ne

Daisy (Also known as Katie)3 days post-surgery."Welcome back Miss White," the hospital's nurse says as she checks my dressings and fluids.I can't remember being transferred to the hospital bed. I can't remember anything from the moment I heard Nino tell me to stay awake. Every part of my body hurts so bad."My...baby" I whisper but my mouth feels like sandpaper."Your baby is perfectly fine honey. I heard you don't want to hear the sex of the baby from your friend who is waiting for you to wake up"I nod my head but the pounding in my head keeps going with the bright lights flickering in the room."Lights. Too-""I got it, honey." She says as she turns down the lights for me and adjusts some of my fluids to make me feel a little energised.A cup of water and a straw appears in front of me with C.J. holding it with tears in her eyes."I stuck to the plan. I managed to pay off the surgeon at the hospital over there to do what we needed to do but I can't stay long okay? I need to get
A Sinners Gamble Chapter 28: Waters
Daisy (Katie)"Have we got everything sorted?" C.J. asks me as we finish packing my hospital bag.A few weeks before the shooting, I spoke with C.J. and we agreed that if anything ever happened to me but I survived we would move. We would protect our lives and we would move no matter how hard it would be.I would still raise mine and Antonio's baby and I would be a great mom to our little girl or boy but every turn we took we were looking over our shoulders so my light brown hair is now jet black. C.J. who changed her name to Naomi had also changed her blonde hair colour to Brown and also started wearing darker clothing as a disguise but everywhere we planned to go went to shit."That's everything," I say and zip up my hospital bag.Thankfully Antonio gave her my bank cards and everything beforehand to draw money out if she needed and she did. There was a little over 190 thousand dollars in my bank and then the money max transferred to her which I found weird but then I also found out
