CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO

SCOT

My body keeps on tossing and turning as I try to lay down in bed to sleep. Nickolas had insisted on taking the first watch earlier to enable me to get some rest but then there is no way I can get some rest at least not when my mind is not at rest. So many things are going on at once, so many thoughts swirling around in my mind that are causing my body to stir and sleep is definitely not one of them.

Sitting up on the bed, I stare down at the floor as I recall the conversation we had in the afternoon. Catalina had made it so clear that she didn’t trust me after everything that I had done. I could see it in her eyes, the doubt. I tried my best to make sure she saw it but Javier is such a sweet talker, he has planted the seeds of doubt in her mind and now it sure as hell is germinating and will very soon turn into a mighty seed of its own.

Every atom of trust I have managed to build over the past few hours has certainly been thrown out of the window by that one ph

    CHAPTER EIGHTY THREECATALINA“What now?” I ask Scot as the phone line goes dead.He is silent for a while and from the look he has on his face it is obvious he is deep in thought. Finally he speaks“Here is what we are going to do, first of all I'll head back to the house and get my car. You are going to send him an address stating where to pick you up on the road and when he does I’ll follow you to wherever he takes you. If there is any sign of danger to your life I’ll come in myself and take care of things.”“Isn’t that a bit risky? If he figures out that you’re following us things could get bad really quickly.”“Don’t worry about that, I am going to make sure he never does.”“That’s not very reassuring given what just happened earlier” I say, referring to me catching him tailing me.He smiles a little “I am going to be more careful than that.” He says as he holds my hand.Right now I can not think of another way or another mode of action to take. This is the only logical way to do

    CHAPTER EIGHTY FOURSCOTThe car keeps on taking turn after turn as I follow behind it. I know what the driver is trying to do, he is trying to shake off any would-be tail that might be following him. I graduated top of my class in college and I have been involved in a lot of clandestine operations over the years, it is certainly going to take more than a couple of fake turn signals and merry go rounds to lose me. Losing this car is not an option, I have to make sure she is safe and the only way I can think of right now is by capturing her father.This time I am sure the trial will be smooth and swift, the man had escaped the jail there is no way for anyone to spin this one other than him spending time in prison. For him to serve that time though someone has to catch him first and I am definitely going to be the one to do it.Maintaining my distance from the black jeep, I drive slowly, watching my pace because I know how important all of this is. If I am made I might as well kiss a lo

I look to the side at Carlos who looks away immediately as he doesn’t want to match my gaze, that is all the confirmation I need. So everything that Scot had said was actually true, my father is the one who ordered the hit on me. He and Carlos had bullshitted me the whole car ride here and I had been stupid enough to believe them. They had played with every emotion that I had in me and in result I had submitted to them all because a part of me really wanted to believe that my father would never be capable of doing something like this.Staring at him in disbelief as he sits there and cocks the gun in front of me.“This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.”He speaks in such a calm manner that I can’t tell if he means what he is saying or not, it is not like it is going to make any difference after all. This is going to be it, I am goi

    CHAPTER EIGHTY SIXSCOTAs soon as the words escape my mouth, I begin to realize what exactly this situation means. Javier has escaped, but how? How did he manage to pull this off? There are more than 20 officers currently gathered in the warehouse and all of us have one goal in mind, to find Javier. So how the hell did he manage to give all 20 of us the slip? Is that even possible? I heard his voice in the room and Catalina confirmed he was in there so he definitely must be around here somewhere.There are so many questions arising in my head as I grab onto Catalina. Catalina, if he’s out that means this place is not safe for her one bit. This has been a risky move in the first place and though the chances of it going off without a hitch were very slim to begin with, I had my hopes. The operation itself was a success, we killed the majority of the gang members but then again we missed the one person who we had actually come here for. It’s like he vanished into thin air.“Search well,

    CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVENCATALINAReflecting on everything that just happened, I can’t help but feel stupid. This is all my fault to begin with, I should never have even tried to go back. I should just have believed what Scot said, at least if I had done just that then I would not be feeling this way right now. Now I realize that I have been living in a state of denial all this time. I have always been making excuses in my head for why my father would do something like this, even during the car ride to the warehouse a part of me had already started blaming Carlos instead and thinking he could be the one that orchestrated all of it. How stupid I am.More than anyone out there, I should know exactly who my father is and exactly what he is capable of. He had done so many despicable things over the years and even up till this very date I know deep down in my heart that a huge part of the blame for what happened to my mum can be attributed to him but still I have made excuses over excuses for

    CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHTSCOT“Sue, I need you to find me Phil’s car and I need it right now.” I say into my phone.“Is anything wrong?” Sue, our operator replies“I just need to know where he is, he is not picking up his calls and he is holding a high value asset with him. I am scared something might have happened.”“Alright, Give me a second.”“Hurry.” I sayThe panic is already evident in my voice, I can feel it in my bones that something is definitely wrong. Phil is always with his phone, no matter when I call or text he is always there to answer so the fact that he isn’t answering now is enough indication that something is wrong. What could possibly have happened? What is going on right now?We combed the area for over an hour and there was still no sign of Javier and some of his men, he is definitely in the wind right now. Could it be possible that this was his doing? No, that shouldn’t be, how could he possibly have known I sent Catalina with Phil? He couldn’t have even known what

There’s no way that I will know that, not from in here at least. I need to find a way out of here and I need to do it quickly. The walls seem to be closing in all around me as I can feel the fear in me growing. My father; I don’t even know if I should be calling him that right now, stepped out of the room a minute ago to make a call. I wonder what his thought process is right now, why the fuck is he doing this to me?The look he had on his face when he walked in earlier was one of disgust and utter disappointment. I had seen the latter before, in a way I had even gotten used to it over the years. He tried his best not to show it sometimes but I have always known that when he looks at me he has always wished that I was a boy instead, somebody that could effectively carry on his legacy. Over the years I had tried my best to be just that, the perfect dau

    CHAPTER NINETYSCOT“If you want to see her alive, you are going to do exactly as I say.”From the tone of his voice I can tell he means every word that he speaks. Could he really be heartless enough to harm his own daughter? Is that even an option? I know he is ruthless but isn’t there supposed to be a line to all of this? Right now I do not really have so much of a choice, I have to listen to what he has to say.“What do you want?” I ask him“Well a series of things actually.”“Don’t push your luck.” I say as I already feel myself getting irritated by the sound of his voice.“Oh trust me, everything I want you to do is within your power. You see I have done my research on you and I know all about the promotion you recently got from my case, I know that that opens up new doors, gives you more access to things which is why my request is going to be very simple for you to do.”“What is it? I do not have all day.”“You and your agency have something that belongs to me and I want it back

    EPILOGUE SCOT SIX MONTHS LATER I could feel the wind in my face and the harsh glare of the sun on my skin. I inhaled, sighing at how content and fulfilled I felt with the woman in my arms. It has been six months since everything went down… six months since my life changed for the better and since I realized I would live and die for the woman I held in my arms. We had gone on this holiday after cutting all her ties with the clan and bidding them farewell. She was no longer with that life and the danger it entailed. She had no idea of course about everything I had planned for today and I could not wait to see the look on her face when she realizes that I am going to ask her today to complete me for as long as the world and our lives continue. I turned to the left, to the man holding the signal and he winked in my direction to let me know that everything was in place and it was time for the commotion. “Hey baby” I whispered in her ear, feeling her stir and open her eyes. “I think

    ONE HUNDRED AND FIVECATALINADespite all the air flowing all around in the open yard I can feel myself struggling to get air into my system, the whole atmosphere around is so tense as both Dante and Scot face off in the middle of the square.This looks extremely familiar to me, I have watched so many fights take place in this same yard during my training but none of them held as high a stake as this. Everything is hanging on this showdown, whatever happens here is definitely going to change a lot of things drastically.“You came,” Dante says to Scot, “I see you are not a coward after all. Just a man with a death wish.”“Yes I have a death wish, but not mine.” Scot says laughing,I can tell Dante is furious by the blank look he has on his face as he turns to me, he still has the same expressions from when we were younger.“So this is it, your plan is to challenge me with this lowlife.” he says, addressing me.“He is not a lowlife.” I reply,“And now you defend him.

This will be suicide.”Looking at her as I grab my shoes from the corner of the room and begin to put it on“I do not think we have a choice anymore, you heard what they said.”“There’s always a choice,” she says, getting up and rushing to kneel right in front of me as I put on my shoes. “We can run, go anywhere else but here, that’s a choice.”Her eyes tell me that she means everything that she says as they reflect the deep pain and worry which she feels right now.“Are you willing to elope with me?” I ask,“Yes.” She says without hesitation, cupping my face in her hands. “I will go with you wherever and we will be able to get away from them.”For the first time in a long time I understand what this feeling is no

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREECATALINAHe sleeps so soundly.I have a smile on my face as I look at Scot’s face as he lay there with his eyes closed. Last night was extremely draining for the both of us as I recall the nasty things we did to each other all through. Some of the best sex I have ever had in this life is definitely with this man who is laying here clutching on to my naked body. He had not let me go all night, the memory of me disappearing on him like the last time definitely still haunts him but this time is different though, I have no plans of doing such. I love it here, snuggling closer to him.“Is that how you always stare or am I just that special?” he asks, with his eyes still closed.“You are awake.”“Yes, I could feel you looking.”“Sorry I woke you,”“It’s fine, you could have been more creative about it though.” he says,“Oh really.” I reply, gliding my hands into the bedspread that covered our bodies and tracing his abs till I reach his lower region.The gasp escape

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWOSCOT“Do you want to get out of here?” she asks, out of the blues.The question takes me by surprise as I stand there still looking at her. Before I can say anything she grabs my hand and begins walking really fast towards the exit. Watching her from behind, it is a surprise she is moving as fast as she is in that dress and those heels she has on. She looks extremely hot.We get out of the club and turn right, continuing our little stroll in silence as the music blasting from the club gets more and more distant, eventually fading away completely. A brief look behind us reveals to me that we are being followed by the men who had thrown out the madman at the club earlier.“Friends of yours?” I ask, as we continue walking.“More like CCTV.” she replies, without bothering to turn around.“I count three of them, don’t you think that’s too much for your security? I mean you did say you can take care of yourself after all.” I say, shooting the snide remark in her dire

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONECATALINAThe room is spinning right now in my mind as I struggle to get my thoughts together. It’s harder to do thanks to the mixture of alcohol coursing through my veins and the shock that I can still feel reverberating through my entire system as I see him standing in front of me.This all feels like a dream, a trance that I am not sure what to make of. Is he really here? I am tempted to reach out and touch him in order to confirm but I try my best to hold myself. Scot in Italy? What the fuck could he possibly be doing here? Especially now that I am trying to let go of the past, trying to forget the one man that has consistently ruled my thoughts for the past week and now here he is standing before me once again.Short of words right now as my brain is still processing all of what is happening, trying to make sense of it. All I can do now is stare at this gorgeous hunk of a man standing before me. In the sim light of the club, all his features seem more prono

I know where she is but then I also know if I show up over there I am going to be dead before I will have the opportunity to even get to see her face. Javier is definitely not going to stand for it.Making enquiries about them had all led to the same thing.Stay away from the Vega’sEveryone I had asked turned out to be scared of them, even all of Nickolas’s contacts that I had reached out to when I first landed hung on me when they heard the name I was asking about. I knew they were a big deal in Italy but I never thought it would be up to this.What was I expecting though? Javier runs the biggest crime syndicate in the country, Of course they were feared.Recalling what Pascal; the man I had spoke to yesterday said,“If you keep on asking about the Vega’s you will end up dead, besides how good could the pussy have been for you to want to fly over from the states fo

I will have the men take you home.”“You are no fun, let loose a little. I know that’s why I am here.” I say,“Well I am on duty, this isn’t as fun for me as it appears to be for you.” he says, chuckling.“How about me and you having a little fun?” I say, winking at him and putting on my best flirtatious smile.He looks back at me as he gets what I am hinting at.and a smile breaks across his face.

    CHAPTER NINETY EIGHTSCOTWe all stand around in a circle with Javier’s man in the center of the room and the bag by his side. I do not want to let him out of my sight as we wait for the arrival of Javier. He had already made a phone call earlier and had indicated that he was already on his way. I told a couple of men to keep an eye on the entrance of the building so we would know exactly when they were coming.Finally he will be here soon and we will be able to settle all of this nasty business once and for all. My top priority is Catalina but in the event that the opportunity to take both her and Javier in safely arrives then I will take it as well. It will be a very big arrest for the department and I am sure the chief will be willing to look past the stealing of drugs and some of the other things I have done to achieve the goal. Catalina is the first priority though, all other things are secondary. Once I have her then we can figure the others out.Here I am risking my entire exis
