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
AMBER * * * It's been two months now. Samantha was able to talk to the judge and my dad was later killed with Lethal injection. His funeral was done quietly. Things were not the same as they use to be. I haven't seen or heard from Lexy since the last time I saw her, Sam said she's okay, she's just processing and I understand that, I obviously need to give her time. It's been a lot, she's been through a lot. My dad Her sister Me... I get it. I've been investing my time looking for my sister. I've contacted everyone possible to get background details of the said Ivy girl that just might be her. I reached out to a friend of mine who was her ex fiance, heard she had a miscarriage and they broke off their engagement, it was a really sad story. He gave us her address and everything we needed to know about her. Turns out she was an orphan and her supposed parents had died in a car crash. We dug deeper and we found out that she was adopted by then when she was 2... meaning she h
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
When I woke up, I expected to have this after adrenaline rush regret but I didn't. I found myself smiling sheepishly. God I've missed Amber, and this whole heated sex that happened is going to make it very hard for me to distance myself from him like how I said I would.He opened the door gently as if not trying to wake me up but I was already wide awake."Hi", he said softly."Hey", I said.He was fully dressed."Leaving so soon?", I asked.He fiddled with his watch."I thought you might not want to see me when you wake up", he said."Why not? you've fucked me countlessly, it's not like I'm your one night stand or anything".He laughed.He came over to the bed and hugged me."I'm really going to miss you", he says softly."I'm going to miss you more".We were quiet, not saying anything at all."Do we really have to do this?", I asked.He nodded and pulled away still holding my hands, "Yeahh, I want you to, I don't want to be a toxic husband or dad or whatever, I want to be perfect f
In a flash I was pinned up against the wall, he was kissing me recklessly all over . He moved down to my neck, biting, sucking and kissing me. My body jerked to life, I could swear it's been dead for a while. My hands found their way to his shirt and I started unbuttoning them. When he walked in here few minutes ago I swear I had no intention of doing this, I promise. His shirt was out of the way, he carried me by my waist and dropped me on the couch slowly. I don't know if I mentioned earlier but I was only wearing a white robe, only! so that slipped off effortlessly. I stared at me for a few seconds admiring my body. "You are so hot", he whispers with his sexy British accent! His voice made me 20 times more turned on than I was. He didn't waste time, he claimed my lips again, his left hand taking one of my breast in his hands, massaging it and rubbing my nipples. He was stopping me from moaning by kissing me, the kiss wasn't sweet or emotional, it was rough, lustful and passi
LEXY * * A lot happened when I stayed back at Miami. One, James left to get his master's degree, and he didn't even tell me! Well apparently it was impromptu and even he wasn't expecting it, but still!! he could have texted or said something, anything! I was going to go full rage on him on a video call when I was ready to. Although he did tell Amber to say goodbye to me. I was going to miss him, he was my favourite among all of them. He was my true husband if we're being honest because he did walk me down the aisle and slip the wedding ring and every other husband role. And then what happened with him and Asher in the airport, oh my dayyyssss. Like I cried when I saw it, literally. I did. Yes I've been crying more often now ever since that night, my therapist said it was a good way to show growth. But if we're being honest, I think I might be misusing it a little bit. Just a little bit. Because I cry over the most stupid things lately. But this, thisss! It was so sweet an
ASHER**I was calling James's line non stop but it wasn't going through. We had asked all the workers there if they knew the plane he was boarding, but from what Amber was saying, James kinda changed his Identity because he was moving out. He did it when he was going to Saudi Arabia for his first degree and so that's probably the same identity he was using. Also coupled with the fact that he was affiliated with my dad and the whole case was everywhere.And Amber wasn't so sure about the name he was using.After about 30 minutes of looking for him, I had officially given up and was about to loose hope when one of the flight attendant said she had seen him and that his flight was delayed for about 30 minutes and he was heading towards his flight.I ran as fast as I could through security and every other person that tried to stop me. Yes I would be in serious trouble after this but it Worth it, he worth it."James!", I yelled immediately I spotted him outside heading towards the runway
ASHER**I've been looking for Every way to talk to James Since we got back from Miami but I'm guessing we've been everywhere. He's been really busy with relocating to finish up his degree. I've wanted to text him but I just feel like this isn't one of those conversations you have on the phone. I wanted to talk to him in person.Everything has been so different since the court case. And I am low-key slipping into depression and I don't think anyone is noticing how bad it was and I don't blame anyone.Amber has been busy with our sister and he's been off cuz of Lexy is absent. It's been hard for him and I know he's trying to pull himself together for us but he's slipping. Aaron is attached to Sam but he's still getting his degree stuff fixed. And so is James. And I am too but everything is different. My life hasn't been the same, it never has.I'm not the type of guy that's used to changes. I'm not. My dad dying, Finding about Mayfair, finding about everything, Nexy dying, and how eve
"Why didn't she just tell you she was kidnapped and still alive?", she asked. "Girl, I don't know, I asked her a lot of times and she never gave me an answer. So yeah after two months her cover got blown and Amber came to rescue me and found out everything his father was involved in... it was sickening, very very sickening. My best friend Sam, she's a Lawyer, she decides to take the case up .... a lot of lawyer's had tried and they all got mysterious killed by your dad". "My father was worse than Luther", she exclaimed. "He is the worse man to exist, don't you dare compare him to Luther". "So... she does, she gets kidnapped by your father's best friend who is also deeply involved in the case. He also kidnaps my twin sister, we get them. Ready to leave. We're in the ship, Mayfair. The one that you know my childhood trauma's and all, and my sister is decorated with bombs that are ready to explode, we can't save her, we have to run, we say our goodbyes, and we run out, the ship explo
" I am found alive on the shore, people find me, I reunite with my dad and we become very low-key, he says he's quitting Mafia, but of course the consequences will follow, he has no protection anymore and his enemies are after us, me in particular. He sends me to new york to get a degree, I go to Harvard, get two degrees and was going for my masters when he calls me back home and I meet a wedding dress and a wedding card, my wedding card. A wedding was planned for me to marry Amber, I fucken freaked out"."Wait, your marriage with my brother was not consensual? you too look so in love", she said shocked."It wasn't, I refused and my dad said he enemies were coming for me, he didn't want to loose me and the only person that can protect me was another dangerous Mafia Don. Of course, one fire to another. I swear I didn't want to but he begged me to "."What if it ended up being an old twig with a pot belly?", she asked.I laughed, I actually never thought of that, did I?"Girl, I took a
I took a moment to take everything in. "So my dad ... our dad just got sentenced to death? meaning he's a criminal...was a criminal... our mother committed suicide because she couldn't handle being with my dad... You use to do his dirty jobs for him which means you were somehow involved in this... You're telling me I should get myself involved in this kind of dysfunctional family", she asked. "You don't have to at all honestly, you don't, but just let it be known that you have a family that has been looking for you for years. And trust me this is... the greatest thing that has happened to us in a very very long time, so we're so happy that you're alive, we really are", Amber said. She sat back and relaxed. "Soo... are you in anyway currently involved in the Mafia?", she asked. "No, we're all cleaned, drop all that shit a long time ago" Aaron said. "So you can actually leave Mafia?", she asked. "Yes, it's hard really, difficult choice to make, but if you put your mind to
