What is the most important moments in Trayton DeCarlo's life?
The moment he set eyes on her.
The moment he first spoke to her.
The moment he made love to her.
The moment he saved her, twice.
The moment he asked her to move in.
The biggest moment of them all is about to happen.
“Ava, my baby girl. Please, would you marry me?”
“Baby, what are you doing?”
“Asking you to marry me.”
“Baby, I don't know what to say.”
“Hopefully, you will say yes.”
“Baby, this is very unexpected.”
“Normally it is supposed to be.”
“Must I answer you now?”
“I am hoping you would.”
The damn waiter walks up to the table, and I go back to my seat. This is so not how I was hoping this would go. I was hoping to go home with a fiance, but it seems I have a girlfriend still. She was supposed to jump up and say yes, and we would hug, and she would cry. The only thing that has happened is me
It is ten minutes past noon. My phone rings. Trayton ~“Why are you phoning me?” Mary ~“Do you have him?” Trayton ~“Yes I do.” Mary ~“Is he okay?” Trayton ~“Yes he is.” Mary ~“What does he look like?” Trayton ~“Like a person.” Mary ~“Don't get clever with me.” Trayton ~“We will see you soon.” I drop the call. Kenton ~“Whom are you talking in riddles with?” Trayton ~“My dumb ass girlfriend.” Kenton ~“Don't tell me you have a fucking girlfriend.”
It is our first morning as an engaged couple, do I feel different? I feel pretty damn great. I am going to wake up with her every morning for the rest of our lives, there is nothing that I look more forward to. What I don't look forward to is the bickering downstairs. I kiss her sleepy head good morning and make my way down to see what the damn fuss is about. Trayton ~“There are some people in this house that are still sleeping. So please keep it the fuck down.” Mary ~“Trayton I am dying to know what happened.” Trayton ~“Have you gone and told everyone mom?” Mary ~“No nobody knows.” Dominic ~“But now everybody wants to know.” Emma ~“Yes this everybody wants to know.” Kenton ~“Do you i
I have just shot a friend, he is alive but I still shot him. What the fuck has become of me? I am reckless and I feel I am going crazy. Have I lost my damn mind? Yes I have. But I also have a family to protect. He crossed the line, well my line as I see it. Are my lines blurred? Of course they are. He was a problem, a problem that I had to fix. And Ava ~ walked in on me fixing it. How fucking stupid can I be. I put my gun down on the counter and take her into the lounge. Trayton ~“Baby girl are you okay?” Ava ~“Why won't I be?” Trayton ~“I did not want you to see that?” Ava ~“I'd rather see that than you lie to me about that or were you going to lie to me about that?” Trayton ~“I was not going to tell you about the shooting, I did not plan for it to happen.”
There are times in your life that you wish that some things just did not happen. That if you close your eyes long enough that they might just go away. You ignorant if you think such things can happen, things do not go away, they stick and they stick damn hard. It has been a week since Ava and Emma confronted me with their idea. I have kept to myself and have not spoken about it. This is not a decision I can make, in fact I will not make it. I am scared for what have created. I slip out of bed early morning before Ava wakes and make my way downstairs. Mom is in the kitchen making a fresh pot of coffee. Mary ~“Can I get you a cup Trayton?” Trayton ~“Yes please mom.” Mary ~“Tell me what is going on?” Mary ~“You have been quiet the whole week.”
I drop to the floor. Everything goes black. .................................................. I wake up. My head is pounding, it feels like a freight train has made mush of my head. It is throbbing like shit. Did my drunk ass fall down? Before I can even think of opening my eyes, there is a blow to my head. Everything goes black. .................................................. At the club with Kenton… Kenton ~“Who is the last one that saw Trayton?” Dominic ~“The bouncer and Jacklyn.” Kenton ~“Get that bitch over here.” &nbs
In all my years, I always got the job done, I left no survivors and I never got seen. I was a ghost, I went in and out even before the body hit the floor. I am the best, I had no enemies that were seen as my rivals. Something must have changed.I have two faces staring back at me and I have no idea who they are. I can fully understand the man but I hardly ever take a woman. It is just something I will not do. The faces aren't even familiar as I run through targets that I can remember.Trayton ~“You will have to enlighten me but I don't know who you damn assholes are.”Man ~“Don't tell me your fucking sick ass cannot make some sort of resemblance.”Woman ~“I don't care if he remembers, I want the sack of shit dead.”Man ~“I told you we are not making it so easy for him.”Woman ~“And I told you we should just waste his ass.”Man ~“It was my fucking idea to catch the asshole.”Woman ~“And I am the one that found him.”Man ~“Should I take five minutes to applaud you? You were too damn stup
They say that you get served what you deserve, that the stone you throw today might be the one you trip over tomorrow. I have just stumbled over my rock. If I thought that my lifestyle would never come and slap me in the face, I was a complete fool. Here I am tied up to a chair with four people staring at me, each wanting to get their revenge in their own way.Mystery woman ~“I have been waiting for this day ever since that day you threw me out your club.”
I have come to realize that there is no such thing as perfect. Or maybe I just attract more bad than good. Perhaps for everything that goes well there is something that has to go wrong too. My baby got shot, I was waiting to see what this is going to do to her, but she is doing well. In fact so well that she is about to shove an ice block down my pants. Trayton ~
In front of me is my wife for little less than two hours now, there is tears that are dropping like waterfalls down her cheeks. She is deeply pained and I understand it, she is being faced with me going away for a very long time and leaving her and the baby bugs alone. If I was the old Trayton, then I would say what the fuck I will go do the time. But no, this is my life, for once I am really truly happy and now it is threatened to be taken away.The way I see it, we have three options here. I either go to jail and see my baby bugs when they are teenagers, or I kill someone else to hide away who we killed now, or someone else takes the fall. Which three of thes
This must be an awful nightmare. Am I seriously getting arrested at my own wedding? Someone better kick me and tell me this is one fucked up joke. I can seriously not be getting arrested at my own wedding. Who did I murder? Stupid question, more like which one I did murder. How would they even know?But I am afraid it is not a joke because they are coming closer and they sure do have a set of handcuffs in their hand. There is a damn room full of assassins and mafia bosses, why the fuck can't they arrest one of them. Ava is going to kill me even before I get locked up.But hey, maybe I should act dumb and they will think they have the wrong man.Trayton ~”Sorry but you need to repeat that.”Samuel Burns ~”We said you are under arrest Mr DeCarlo.”Trayton ~”You do see that I am busy
Loosing something you never had might sound easy but it is hard to let go if you knew that it could have been something good.Ava will never know what it would feel like to have a brother again. Is she hurting? More than she will ever admit. What gives her comfort is to be reunited with the rest of her family.Her sister has just presented us with a letter that Adam wrote before the dreadful tragedy. Ava e
There is a lot that you can say about a man that has it all. Some of it was good and some of it was bad. A man that had it all did not have to ask, he took. He did not want, but demanded. He had the right to everything before it was even given. He never had to choose, he never had to wait. He worked hard and played even harder. He lived on the edge, there was nothing he feared. He dominated everything and everybody. He was a god in his world.That was Trayton DeCarlo.
I can still remember that day she proposed to me. But let’s not forget about my failed attempt to propose to her. Or should we maybe say our poor attempts to go out for dinner. We both did not know much about love, how to do it and how to act it. We both know we felt it but were too scared to even say it. If I recall I had that little habit of telling her in her sleep. Well look at us now. We don't doubt our love, we are just not sure when to unite it.Trayton ~”Baby girl I think I have had a few tiny little heart attacks. Please let a man out of his misery.”
I have never been one to overlook small details. After all it is small details that can get you in a heap of trouble. The kind of trouble we find ourselves in. But then how would you know if somebody else was following the one that is following you. That just makes it pure coincidence, something you can never expect.There is no time to think of what we could have done better now. All we need to do is get ourselves out of this mess.
With every choice you make in life there comes that moment where you have the time stop and think if this is really what you want to do. That split second that will determine between what is right or what is wrong. That moment that will define who you are and the path your life is going to take.If there is any time then now is the right time to pull out of this. I can pull the plug and we can drive this car home. But I would also be disappointing a friend, a brother but most importantly one mean ass mafia boss. Do I want to secure a future of wealth and no need to want for my family or do I want to create a life of fear and constantly running and hiding in corners?I need to decide because I either finish this sentence or take a man's life or I drive off and hope I get home before Jackson comes after me.Anthony ~”Sorry Trayton but I did not hear that.”
How far are you willing to go for a friend? A friend that is like a brother but a friend that is also your boss, the Mafia Boss, Jackson D'Angelo.If there is something I have learned in all these years then it is never to cross Jackson. If you cross him it better be in a good way. There is one thing you just don't do and that is piss the biggest boss in the business off.My first job for him is simple, take his underboss out and then I will take his place. But that is not the sole reason, Anthony burst through and when I say burst through, he literally kicked the bathroom door down one day while Jackson and Kayley were fighting. And now Kayley, the bad ass Mafia Queen wants him gone.But this would not be happening if Anthony was still with his girl Danny. See Danny just had her own little baby boy. They all thought that it was Anthony's but in one hot as argument it came out th
Today is the big day, it is one of those days, one of those moments that you just know is going to change your life forever. Change does not come easy, I have never been known as someone that sits well with change. It is not that I don't embrace it, it is just one of my least pleasurable experiences.The entire house is a buzz this morning. My mom is desperately running after an overexcited Ava to calm her down. The boys are all in the kitchen having their coffee, not the least bit fazed by all the commotion in the house. And me, I am trying to be useful somewhere but not succeeding.
