CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

LILY

I awaken to the soft morning light that filters through the curtains and as I slowly open my eyes.

Turning my head ever so gently, I watch Nick sleeping peacefully next to me, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

A smile tug at the corners of my lips, as memories of how we had first met filtered through my mind.

I can still remember that day he and I had met as kids… his defiant eyes as he watched me on the swing and the rapid way he had switched from Spanish to English.

    CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTNICKOLASThere is a low knock on the door, we exchange glances at each other as she wonders who is at the door as well. I put my finger to my lips signaling for her to be quiet, with any luck whoever it is will go away and we will be left in private. I do not want anybody interrupting this special moment we are sharing. For the first time in a very long time I feel completely at peace with someone, looking at her as she lays in bed. She looks extremely beautiful right now, I love it here and one thing is sure. I do not want this to end.The knock comes in again and she lets out a giggle as she watches me collapse on the bed in frustration. Why can’t whoever it is just go away?Lily stands up completely naked and I can not take my eyes off her. My brain keeps on replaying the thoughts from the steamy session we just said and it brings a smile to my face. She dresses up and walks out of the room to find out who is at the door.“Who is there?” she asks as she approach

Your wife confessed to the crime of kidnapping and even if we try to weasel out of the evidence brought against you by the wife of the man who you killed… we cannot get away from this. I am afraid this is the end of the road”“You dare speak to me this way, Edward? After everything I have done for you? Figure out a way to get me out of here” Robert snapped“I suggest you cooperate with the police and cut yourself a deal… maybe expose Javier and…”“Shut your fucking mouth… do not ever mention that name here, we do not know who might be fucking listening” He snapped again, rising to his feet.“We have to cut a deal if we want to ever get out of this situation alive” Edward whispered.“Get out; you are fucking useless. I will figure this out on my own”“You should give him up… do not go down alone, R

    CHAPTER SIXTYSCOTThe music continues blasting in through the speaker as I sit at the bar downing a glass of whiskey. I hate being here, this isn’t really my crowd, it never has actually been but I have always found myself in situations like this when my friends drag me out. This time there is no friend in sight, it is just me but still this was all Nick’s idea. He had persuaded me to go out for a celebratory drink. Sitting down here now by myself I kind of miss the motherfucker but then again he is probably somewhere living his best life and I am sure as hell happy for him.We never actually got the chance to celebrate all together though and there is really a lot for us to celebrate, my promotion for one. Cracking that case has put my career on a much faster trajectory than it was already, right now I feel like I am riding a bullet train to top so fast. It has been promotion after promotion that right now I have to admit it is beginning to scare me a little but then again success s

He is just a man after all.I steal a glance at the man walking beside me as we walk out of the club and tamale the next turn. His picture definitely doesn’t do him enough justice. This detective is incredibly gorgeous and from the smile he has on his face I can tell he is nervous. He hasn’t said anything to me since we left the club, he is just strolling with his hands in his pockets. That’s a bit pathetic isn’t it? But then again why do I feel turned on by it, must be the drinks I had.“Where are we headed?” I ask, trying to break the ice.“My place is quite far but I know a nice place just around here. You sure you still want to get out of those clothes?” He asks“Sounds like you are having second thoughts about it.”“No I’m not. I guess I’m just a bit nervous. It’s been a while since I did something like this.”“We

I turn to confirm what my hand already tells me, there is nobody there.I stand up suddenly from the bed to look around and this is my first mistake. The blood immediately rushes to my head because of how fast I got up and my head begins to pound. This is definitely one of the worst hangovers I have ever felt in my entire life. I know I drank a lot yesterday but I didn’t think it was this much.Surprisingly for the first time after a hangover like this I remember every single thing that happened last night, at least until we both passed out. I replay the events in my head but by bit, the bar, her approach, her face, the walk. Everything continues playing out in my head as I sit upright and try to gather myself. Yesterday was certainly magical. A smile emerges on my face as I replay her face as she rode on me, her moans as I took her

I am supposed to be heading up a meeting with all the heads of the cartel in Italy but here I am in New York trying to fulfill a revenge fantasy that I have created in my head. Is this really the right choice? For one I know the family will never be pleased with the fact that I will not be joining this meeting physically because of how important it is to all of us.There will be a lot of debate for who will get to be the head of the cartel now that my father is gone, all of them will come to the table pushing their own agendas and trying to grab as much power as they can just like a pack of hyenas when they smell a carcass on the road.I have been hearing rumors about things that have been said, alliances that have been formed, conversations and scheming that has been done by various parties all leading up to this meeting.The Vega’s are weak without Javier,

As punishment for coming late to the meeting and making everybody wait, the chief had assigned all the paperwork for the next two days to me but I am sure he definitely will be surprised when he comes in tomorrow and sees that I am done with all of it.Maybe that was a mistake on my part because now I can feel the pain in my hands telling me that I shouldn’t have done that. I needed to keep my mind busy or else it would have wandered to thoughts of Her and the meet up we are supposed to have today. It’s not like it worked though because all through the day most of my focus was taken by her and that text. I wonder why she has that picture, why did she message me? How did she even get my number?The fact that she has my number means she researched me or something and yet I still do not know who this woman is. Would it even be wise to

I wonder why it hit him this hard though, has he been thinking about me as well, as much as I have been thinking about him or is this all just normal surprise on his path? A part of me wants to ask the question out of curiosity but I know this is not the time to do that, this is the time for me to steel my heart and do what needs to be done for the benefit of this family.“You are Javier’s daughter? Javier Vega? What is the meaning of this?” He asks in confusion.He looks lost just like a mouse that has been thrown into a maze and is trying to find its way out except in this case there is no way out of this one.“Yes. He is my father.”We both sit there in silence for some seconds as he tries to process the bombshell I just dropped on him.“That’

    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

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

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

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

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.

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
