"Sir, your father is here to see you". I looked at Amber, Amber looked at Sam and Sam looked at me. For some reason, there was this thick tension in the atmosphere. "Bring him in", he said. "Amber", Sam said, worried, because we were literally discussing how the case was going to be like minutes before he came. "It's okay, it's my house, we're safe", he said and that bastard showed his face in Amber's office, he wasn't smiling. "Samantha?", he called out calmly but fiercely. How does he even know Sam? "You want to resurrect Mayfair's case?", he asked with mockery in his voice. I expected Sam to back down, but she didn't, "No, I want to resurrect Mayfair's case, alongside the abduction of Next and the other 12 girls you kidnapped that period and the other children that you sent as suicide bombers, all of them", she said confidentially. Griffen gave a long laugh. "You're hilarious, you know, when I heard about it, I thought you were joking; do you know how many lawyers died,
So far, things weren't going so bad; I mean, Griffen hasn't brought up anything about Amber yet. He's pleading innocent to the charges; Tiffany was called forth as a witness; she gave her experience with Mayfair, and so did I, everything, in detail! I relived that day again; Tiffany could barely hold herself; she broke down countless times while telling her story. The last witness was supposed to be Nexy, she was the main witness in all of this, she has her journal on her and very vital and delicate information that will ruin Griffen, but the judge asked that the case be adjourned because she could barely process the shit she was hearing and she denied him bail. With that, the court rose, and Griffen was taken by the police back to his cell. "He has a plan, a very dangerous one, Dad's not this quiet about downfalls, especially one that's going to end him.", Asher said behind me "It's gonna have something to do with Amber; I just know, I can feel it," Aaron said. . "We're
Mayfair.Of course it was Mayfair, that ship! it should be burnt down to ashes.Amber held my hands, "Lexy I don't think you should go in there", he said.He could see the trauma on my face. I was fighting to hide it.I shook my head."Amber my sister and my best friend is in there, I just started enjoying her company and Sam! no Amber I will never forgive myself if anything happens to any of them, I won't!"."Amber I don't think we should wait another second, let's go in there", Aaron said.He's been so worked up about all of this especially since it involves Sam.I could see worry and stress all over him."Lexy this thing is dangerous", Amber said really worried."I've been in that ship before, I survived it, I'm going in", I said firmly.He sighed and grabbed a bullet proof vest and put it on me."Don't leave my sight", he stated.I nodded."We ready?", he asked and everything nodded.Then Amber gave the signal and everyone split up on the dock except the boys, we moved in to the s
I now understand what Aaron meant but childhood trauma, this was it, this was all it. I started moving back slowly, whimpering, I was loosing it, I was clearly loosing it. Amber held my two hands. "Lexy, Lexy look at me, none of it is real, it's not real, he can't hurt you, I'm here, I'm here", he said shaking me but I wouldn't stop. I was having a panic attack, I could feel it. I should have listened to him and stayed back. Darius was Laughing, "What is it? I mean with the way Griffin described you I thought you could handle a little trauma. Is my face that scary?", he laughed. "See this is why we kill you all while you're young, so you won't have to experience this", he said taking a sip of his wine. Amber kept on talking and hugging me so I could calm down. "He's gonna hurt me, he's gonna hurt me", I whimpered. "Lexy fucken Matthew", he said looking me dead in the eye. "No one in this entire fucken world will hurt you!". I closed my eyes and started trying to r
"Or better still, none of you leave", he said and the door shut close behind us.Amber stepped forward."Let me make this very clear, first of all, this ship is surrounded with my men everywhere, so one wrong move and you're gone. Second of all, hand Nexy and Samantha over nicely "."And if I don't?", he asked."I don't take instructions from kids I raised, I can choose to sink this ship or I turn it into a suicide mission and bomb it and we all die here and there's no case at all, I make the rules now, I have you exactly where I want to "."That's where you're wrong ", I said, "We have you right where we want to. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe one of us is with a wire, or a camera, recording the whole thing and is giving the police informations about everything going on right now?", I asked.Color started draining from his face. I smirked, I've had him right where I want to, I could see the fear in him."You wouldn't, you've also said things to incriminate yourself ", h
"Lexy", Amber called out calmly.I couldn't control it , was just flowing and flowing and I couldn't stop myself.It's been so long I felt this feeling, of being completely lost, being hopeless and unable to do anything about it."Lexy", he called again and tried touch me, I stopped him immediately."Your family has cost me nothing more than pain, tears, sorrows. My mother was killed in an accident because your father was looking for young girls and my twin sister happened to be the target, my sister was kidnapped, abused, raped, and destroyed for years. I was kidnapped and I almost died in that ship! my life never went to same way it was after that experience, my father bullied and harassed me, I find out that my twin sister had been alive all along and she has been used by them, all of them! born to be tortured all her life and die in the most painful way ever created, and I thought for one second, just one second! that I was safe with you, that you're my safe haven and you literall
AMBER *Judgment has been passed. Darius was sentenced to death by hanging and my dad Death by Firing. 55 bullets till he's dead.Everything was going so fast and it was making me spin. My dad was actually going to die, he was actually going to die.He was to be killed by morning and so I decided to go see him, at least one last time. I asked the boys to come with me but they just didn't want to, everything was happening so fast.I was sitting in the visitors waiting room. They brought him in cuffed and cuffed him."You have 1 hour", the guard said and then left us alone.He looked pale, old and sad.Two months ago if you had seen him you wouldn't be able to recognize that he's the one."Why did you do it?", I asked after 5 minutes of sitting in silence, "Why did you confess in the end when I was about to take the fall?"."Because you were about to take the fall ", he said with a shrug."That doesn't answer the question, I mean I would have been sentenced and implicated as well, we w
"Asher calm down", I said placing my hands on him."How could you loose a child! a fucken 2 or three year old! and you didn't care to look for her or anything? let people know she's missing?", he kept screaming."I am so sorry... I...""You don't have any information whatsoever to help us track her or find her if possible?", James asked."Uhm... some years ago, I met someone that looked too much like her, she had the ginger hair of your mother and eyes of Amber. She was an accountant at this company in New York, I tried doing some background check on her, but I was like, if she's the one what am I going to tell her? that I lost her or abandoned her? I just... I just didn't bother digging and I stopped.""What is her name? give us every damn details about her"."I can't remember quite honestly, her name was Ivy... that's... that's what I remember, and she was working with Uhm, I think Gusmor Enterprises, their main headquarters is in Miami, I don't know if she's the one, but, I felt li
LEXY **I woke up and rolled to the other side of the bed but it was empty.Amber... But like we're supposed to have a wedding today, where is he?I grabbed my phone and called Sam."Hey"."Hey bitch"."Aren't you coming around? to get my. make up ready and stuff"."Oh uhm... I got an emergency from one of my clients and... damn it you know I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world, I'm just running a bit late, I'll still make it up right on time, I'll send someone down there to help you out ok?".That's disappointing.I sighed."I'm so sorry Lexy, I would have cancelled if I could but unfortunately I can't, I'm so sorry", she said again."It's okay", i said and cut the call.Great.Wonderful way to do a wedding.I called Amber and he wasn't picking up.I called James."Yo, where are you?",I asked."Lexy uhm... my school just called, I have this fucken emergency test That I have to take first thing tomorrow morning, I don't even know if I'll make it before then but I can meet up fo
LEXY *I love this Amber, I love him so much and I wish life would last forever.He's been treating me like I'm the baby. He doesn't let me do anything, like nothing at all.He gives me a warm bath every morning, helps me brush my teeth, gets me clothed in very comfortable clothes, he cooks now since Mrs Williams have been absent for a while now, I think she's staying with her niece that recently gave birth or something.And he ensures we do gentle exercises and we work out often.He turned the basement into a gym. And yes he's becoming pretty muscular now and good in the eyes.My Art Gallery is finally officially open. It was one of the best and happiest days of my life, and none of it would have happened without Nicole Anderson and of course Amber.But since I was pregnant, Mrs Anderson was the one managing everything till I'm fully ready to work. She's literally my art idol, imagine your role model working for you, perks of being Amber's Wife.."So ... I was thinking", he said.
AMBER I've been so anxious to see Lexy. When she called that she had a surprise, my mind went to a million places .I wanted to pick her up at the airport but James already said he was going to.It was so good seeing everyone again, they looked so happy as cheerful, honestly the distance was just what we needed.When I saw Lexy, she looked so different. She had added a little weight and she had this long big gown on her, but regardless she looked so beautiful and happy, the fact that she was happy was everything for me.Seeing her smile so genuinely, it was so pleasant.But then ... she didn't hug me back the way I expected her to... two seconds later she already pulled away.It made me feel weird for the moment.Then she wanted us to talk about our personal growth. To be very honest, I've grown a lot. There's so much personal development that I never knew I could have reached to this point.And then she dropped the bomb shell."You're pregnant?"."Oh my God"."I'm going to be an Au
I called all the boys to suspend whatever shit they were doing and get back to Italy.I was 6 months pregnant now, and I was done with Therapy and every other thing.Besides my Gallery opening was in a week time but I wanted to inform the boys about it first.None of them know about it, even Sam, like I've been so good keeping this a secret from them.Apparently, Amber's seeds swim pretty fast, it was that time he came over to see me and we fucked, I definitely didn't see it coming. I've been so anxious, only Mrs Anderson knew about it. I've been so anxious about breaking the news to them.I was having a little baby bump now, but it wasn't even obviously because I naturally have a flat tummy.At least my vegetarian lifestyle and fitness paid off.But I still didn't want them to notice a thing, so I wore this very long bubba gown.James said he was going to come pick me up and I haven't been any happier to see him.When I arrived at the airport, he ran to hug me.But I had to be caref
I travelled back to Miami and I told my therapist all about it, and in all honesty, she was disappointed initially, but then she said she was also very proud of me for fighting it and the sudden realization that revenge won't solve anything. She said she was also proud of me for trying to help Laura. She said I was making progress.Rodrigo's body was found in his house and apparently, no one was even trying to investigate his demise because they saw it coming, he'd lived a shitty life.I spoke to Amber when I got home, he said he could have sworn that he saw someone who looked exactly like me in Italy.I teased him that he missed me so much he's now seeing me everywhere, but the possibility of that being me is Very very high.I'm ok now, I'm better now. But I'm honestly so worried about Laura. I don't want to get involved in her life because from the looks of it, it's really shitty. But I worry for her everyday.Mrs Anderson was getting a tattoo of a butterfly on her back and so she
I was packing to leave back to Miami, I'm guessing my therapist is really not going to like what I've done.She's going to talk about me not letting go the rage that has been holding me down all these years.My door flew open and Laura barged in with a cigarette."How the fuck did you get in?"."Why did you hesitate to kill that man?", she asked, same look she had the first time I saw her."What?"."He said things that hurt you, badly, and you were going to chicken away, just like that?"."Well now that I've killed him, what happens next?"."So you mean to tell me that you're not getting the least satisfaction from what you did? not even a little?".I shrugged, "I do, buy does it worth it?"."Does it matter? you got what you wanted? aren't you happy?"."No... honestly. Look it was a stupid thing to even think of. Revenge... The Sweetness of revenge lasts only for a second... for the minute, but then the reality kicks in. It was all a complete waste of time. Nothing has changed. ""But
It was 11pm when Laura and I pulled up in front of Rodrigo's house. She had already taken care of everything before now, the security was put to sleep because their drink was drugged. Laura suggested we just poison them to death but I didn't want to get them involved.The security cameras were all turned off and the house was empty, just Rodrigo was inside.We opened the door and went straight to his room.It was a horrible sight, he was having a threesome."Get out!", Laura yelled at the girls there pointing a gun at them.They immediately stopped and grabbed their clothes and ran out of the house.Laura pulled one of them back and pointed a gun to her throat, "If you say a word to anyone about what happened today, I will come for you and your entire family", she threatened.The girl nodded in fear and ran away.We turned back to Rodrigo who was shaking on the bad. He had the sheets covering his nude body.Laura went to him and sat right beside him and kept the gun on his head."Reme
I know I said that I was done with Drama and I just wanted to heal, but there was one more thing I had to do- Find my dad's killer and know exactly what happened.My sister and my mother are resting in peace knowing they've gotten justice, but not my father. And although he lived a shitty life, he made the biggest sacrifice for us to be safe by quiting Mafia.This time around I didn't want to get Amber or his family involved, and I didn't want to get Sam involved either, this was going to be some crazy ass shit but it was going to worth every minute of it.I flew back to Italy quietly, didn't even let anyone know I was in town. I went to my dad's house, I had refused to sell it or give it out ever since he died because too many memories where here, I grew up here, my entire life was this place. It was my safe haven when I was a kid... It ended up being a prison for me eventually because I was asked never to leave but... this was my home.I had a suspect in mind; Rodrigo, he was my fa
I linked up with Mrs Anderson a month later. She choked me with sympathy about what happened, and I really didn't need that. I'd almost say I've become her PA, she takes me to every art exhibition she goes to and she tells everyone about my art and invites as much people as she can for my Gallery opening. Gracefully, this time around, there's no abusive ex to ruin it.I asked her about Conrad and she said he's been sad, that which I was very happy about, she also told me that Amber took care of him, that I definitely didn't expect to hear.We went for one Women conference in Brazil recently and, I must say it's been refreshing traveling out and meeting new people with similar minds and stories as yours.I've met ex wives and mistresses of Don's and Mafia's and all I can say is, I'm truly lucky, because not even one of them mentioned anything about their man changing or becoming a better person, talk less of for them. Everytime I hear a woman who has been with a Mafia man tell their
