I heaved a deep breath and head to meet mother and daughter giggling. "Here's your water I'm sorry too long." I spat but inside I was dying.
She slowly took her water from me as she rolled her eyes at me. "Thank you." she teased."Quinn, you look gorgeous I heard you're back in the force." her mother started a conversation with me. "It's fine aunt Loura." I replied."You've gained weight, Noemie told us about your ex, thank the heavens you left the bastard I was sure you've been brainwashed so any guys in mind." she wiggled her brows staring at my back I saw Calvin talking to the lawyer. "The lawyer? No he isn't my type." I chuckled. "Who's talking about a lawyer I'm talking about the young man there." she insisted on Calvin, Noemie choked on her glass which caught our attention."This water is tasteless." she held the glass up and gave it back to me. "get me a different water glass." she voiced furiously."Can't you get your own water? " her mother asked. She ignored her mother and went over to my mom."Ella you look gorgeous." she told my mom while I continue chatting with Loura."So aren't you going to hit it off I remember when you guys were inseparable, he looks like the perfect choice." she jotted down and my heart starts beating for some reason."I don't know I don't think I'm ready and he already has a girlfriend plus Calvin is my brother." I stated. "Hmmmm stop saying that I saw the way he looked at you when you were talking to me." she said and I gulped.Didn't she hear me say he had a girlfriend."Calvin dear, Quinn wants to talk to you." she called Calvin who nodded and left the Lawyer to stride over to us. "Ella, I almost forgot I'm getting married less than two weeks from now." Noemie immediately blurted getting everyone attention."Really congratulations." My mom muttered."Calvin wanna see my ring." oh that's why she announced it."Everyone it's time it's time to read the will is this everyone? " the lawyer asked I nodded."No, he's almost here." Noemie stated we heard a car drive in the doorbell rang, I went to get it to see a young man probably at his late twenties and I'm guessing Noemie fiance."Everyone meet the love of my life." she introduced the shithead to us."What's he doing here? He's not part of the family we are reading my father's will Noemie this isn't some slumber party that you can turn it to be about yourself." I said about to loose it. "Oh please, Calvin isn't even part of the family and he's here my sweetheart also deserves to be here." she said and I almost lost it."What can we get you dear? " my mom asked."Nothing ma'am " he said as my mom nodded, my Uncle Charles walked up to meet the idiot and shook hands with him."William how is your father? " Charles asked."He's well and sends his greetings.""You sure you don't want anything, Quinn go make tea or some hot beverage for our guest if you need anything ask Quinn." my uncle insisted but I kept my cool."He's rich and he's your fathers brother, he's rich.." I repeated the mantra quietly."What do you have? " he asked."We have brown tea, thats all." I replied."Then make me some." he said rudely I went back into the kitchen angrily making the brown tea, Calvin walked in seeing me frustrated while I make the tea."Why are you here? " I fired."I'm here to make sure you don't poison the tea." he said I turned glaring at him. "Seriously? " I frowned. "You once poisoned Noemie water bottle in 5th grade when we went camping." why does he have to remind me."Well I'm grown and matured now." I said picking up the glass and walked out to see them starting the reading of the will without me."To his ex wife the savings he kept aside amount of $25,000, to Calvin a private account with the amount of $8,000 and to his daughter this ivory red necklace." they gave me the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen while I held the brown tea."Dad..." I whispered under my breath with a smile, I looked back at my mom who had her head bent maybe moved with emotions too."So where's our cut? " I looked back at Noemie."Excuse me? ""Why the fuck did I come all the way here and invite my fiance when we don't even get our own share." I froze for a bit confused."Noemie sit down." Charles ordered."No Noemie talk I wanna hear what you have to say ?" I walk over to her furious."Get off my face bitch.." she said about to push me but I moved and poured the tea at William."What the fuck? ""I'm sorry We'll pay for the damages." my mom muttered going to get a towel."This suit is more expensive than your deadbeat husband salary for a whole year." I dropped the glass cup and faced him."What did you call my father just now? " I asked. "The man that raised you isn't a father he's a disgrace I can't believe Noemie is related to you." he muttered and I laughed, suddenly everyone gave me the strange looks.Calvin stood in front of the man protecting him from my wrath, he knows me too well.I put on the necklace and walk out of them leaving them confused, I went to my mom's basement to get some tools, I picked up a crowbar and reappear.Calvin eyes widen he stood in front of William again."Quinn I won't let you hurt him." Calvin said."You're crazy." William whimpered in fear."Quinn stop this nonsense, what are you doing with a crowbar ?" my mom asked."This isn't for you." I murmured walking out of there, they followed me outside until I saw a black BMW."Something is wrong with your car." I said as William came out forward."What? " he asked.I smashed the glasses each and then the hood and then he back of the carr, the headlights and then the inside of the hood and then the mirror.I looked at him with murder in my eyes "There I have a dead beat father you have a death beat ride."•••QUINN•••"You wrecked his car? " Mandy gasped helping me unbox some my my dad's old stuff, I haven't even unbox my stuff yet. "he was saying shit about my dad and I taught him a lesson and he was like I'm gonna call the cops on you and I was like I'm a cop how can I help you." Mandy chuckled. "Girl you're crazy why didn't you invite me I would have made Noemie go mad like old times that bitch seriously hasn't changed." she said putting some stuff out. "You should meet Williams he's an arrogant dick they are made for each other I'm so sorry for their children." I murmured helping Mandy out."Can't still believe Noemie is getting married, I really pictured her with a dozen cats and heavy botox at 84." Mandy said. "She could always get a divorce they don't really love each other and we both know she has a huge crush on Calvin she purposely yelled she was getting married to get Calvin jealous, what an amateur." I said as Mandy shared me a smug smirk. "Seems like she made someone e
I heave a deep breath. "All of you get out." I said coldly as the guys and girls looked at me confused. "Who? " Erwin challenge me I picked up a gun and shot Darren's phone. "Get out." I ordered as all the girls ran for their lives, I took off my mask. "live a little man." Haven protested quietly but I ignored him. "We're going back to Detroit, tell her mission accomplished." I said. Darren went to a corner and pulled out a suitcase."She brought this as promised." he opened revealing a suitcase full of money totalling to 10 million. "Why would she go into all this get all this money to kill a successful young woman." Erwin asked. "She needed closure after Astrid Killed her only son, the success behind Astrid is masked she targets some rich millionaire seduces him and gets them to will over to her their property and then she kills them." I said smoking some more. "I feel her pain she had her son when she was just thirteen, the father denied it and she stopped going to school and
•••QUINN•••Today I stood in front of the grave as they lowered the coffin slowly to the earth that was six feet dug, my mom stood a few feet away from me being comforted by my aunt Loura who seemed reasonable enough to be by my mom's side but I could hear her whispering about how much it cost to get my dad suited so he could be buried. I never once saw or paid a visit to my dad after he died I was still traumatized so my mind thought it was best. I clenched my fist tightly as my uncle uttered a few words and they started filling the hole, every time they toss in sand to the hole I felt my heart pounding and aching I don't know why but I stepped a bit forward but I felt a hand grab my wrist I turned to see Calvin staring at me, he wore a sad look tears stroll down my cheeks as he pulled me into a hug. "He's really gone.." I mourned while he patted me at the back.I just went limb into him and just cried. Later we were at my mom's place, my mom was talking to my uncle and Calvin an
•••SETH•••I walked out of my room on getting a text from Darren to meet at the living room, I can't help but to think about her, I know it's only a few days but her peaceful figure. No one knows about her yet because she saw my identity, no one is supposed to know our real identity it's how we've been together from the start. I'm supposed to kill her but I didn't. I went to the living room to see, Erwin, Haven and Darren, Haven is the eldest but I'm the leader, Darren is the brains and as for Erwin he's insane you'll find out why I said that and we all consider ourselves as brothers. Erwin was playing with with a dagger, he smirked when Darren finally walked into the room with his tablet. "Darren Think fast.." he tossed the knife at Darren who missed quickly. I walked over to Erwin he gulped when I glared at him. "You shot me him your gun and I didn't say anything." I only smacked him hard. He's crazy because he's trying to kill anyone it entertains him. "The Cunningham's gave
•••QUINN•••I was at Mandy's she was on her laptop probably working while I was busy watching TV while eating take out. "Astrid Shane found dead in her hotel room." the news read which felt a bit off. "Mandy are you hearing this? " I asked her she looked away from the screen of the laptop she paid only little attention and then back to her screen. "She kinda deserved it after she died it was later revealed she'd seduced some millionaires, dupe them and then kill them the force thinks AXE-L had something to do with it but it's just odd why would they do something like this they're gangsters." she mummered confuse. "Maybe they were paid to kill her." I stated as Mandy stares at me with her eyes wide open. "You maybe on to something Quinn but they would have to pay a lot of money, I can't get their DNA and Zoe is already at my neck they could strike anytime to anyone, I wonder who's their next target." she said shutting down her laptop. "I hope it's Noemie, probably she's their nex
"What are you doing let go of her." Calvin said as I let go of Noemie, I quickly swam over to the edge and lifted myself back up as the girls helped her, Noemie whined softly holding on to Calvin I just felt annoyed and pissed she's using this to get his attention. I just went to a lounge room, one of the employees was nice enough to give me a towel while I dried off, I just decided to scroll through my phone looking at previous pictures of me and my dad. I felt a presence I looked up to see Calvin, he wore a leather jacket with black jeans, a few ladies that were going about eyed him he just walked over to me and sat down next to me. "Are you okay? " he asked I just scoffed. "Now you care.." I mouthed switching off my phone so he wouldn't figure out what I was looking at. "What are you doing here? " I asked. "Did mom send you here so I won't kill her only ticket to my uncle? " I asked as he just chuckled. "Like I care if you kill Noemie, I'm here for a different reason." he said
•••QUINN•••I sat down at the back quietly thinking of a plan to escape, I was handcuffed held captive in some van by two of the so called gangsters, one just kept making flirtatious remarks at me and the other played with a dagger.I breathe in thinking about my mom and then Mandy and also Calvin who probably have no idea where the fuck I am, on the bright side I don't have to be Noemie's maid. The one who was driving adjusted his masks. "It's time..." he muttered as all of them came down from the the van, I sat down still handcuffed, Seth came to the back and handed me a dress and a napkin."Here change and clean up your makeup you look like a clown." he cocked I just scoffed while he left the back of the van a bit shut. I just picked up the towel cleaning my face as instructed and snuck quietly to take a look at the tiny open path, I pushed the back of the van a bit to see a few shrubs leading to a busy part and two other cars."Seth this wasn't part of the plan, if the Cunningh
•••QUINN•••"What do you know about the Cunningham's ?" Haven slammed his hands down glaring at me, he has toothpaste white hair and grey eyes and a chiseled jawline. Darren leaned against the frames of the door studying my figure I just stayed still and remained numb. I was in a room it was painted black with only a light beaming in the middle of the room. "Why won't you say anything, we can kill you if you don't give us answers." he blabbed while I rolled my eyes. "Then kill me already at least it's better than inhaling your terrible breath, take a mint or mouth wash before you fucking yell at me for three hours straight." I smirked while he sniffed out his breath and backed away. He walked over to Darren whispering something but I couldn't hear anything, he left the room leaving me and Darren alone, I put my head down avoiding eye contact with him.He took a chair and sat facing me with a calm look. "Hi.." he started off I slowly put my head back up to look at him, his eyes s
•••SETH•••I traced Nolan to where he was hiding, finally we were in the same room as my men raid his hideout. "Let's end this story shall we? " i said pointing my gun at him, he turned and smile. "So this is it, I'm painted as the bad guy when i basically tried to avenge your father.." he said. "I didn't ask you did i? " i questioned. "Huntress killed your father, I'm not your enemy." Nolan said. "You paid a hitman to kill Huntress after your father died since your father died in the war you always hated Huntress so you killed your own family to take over the Mafia, you're just a bitter soul." i said. "Have the Prestons gone soft, a Preston would avenge their kind.. ""That was forty years ago basically your age, the wars we brought is over, my father ran the Mafia his way i kill to get what i want and protect those who are family...""It's a shame Erwin isn't here to see you he would have enjoyed smashing your skull.." i said firing five bullets until he died on the spot. •••QU
The moment i got to New York, the so called secret hideout was some kind of abandoned factory, i met with Manfred we both pulled each other into a hug until i saw, Haven and Mandy as well. "What are you guys doing here? " i asked "I'm here to make sure you keep to your promise and also Shane could be here i don't want him to be killed along with his pathetic brother.." Mandy said. "Darren is with Maria, i came because i couldn't let you have all the fun.." Haven said as i looked for Seth. "Seth got caught up in something." Haven explain having noticed, i nodded. "What's happening? " I asked "It's like the Cunningham's knew we were here, we thought they were hiding you in here we were planning on attacking but they took down our men, i called Erica to inform her but then i heard your voice but i already sent a few men to bomb from the inside, i can't reach them and tell them to abort.." Manfred said. "Erica was working with them, don't abort, they are holding Erwin when the bomb
•••QUINN•••Me, Mandy and Seth got checked into one of the hotel Maria was in with Darren and Haven, i practically barge in to see Maria covered with a blanket she pushes her head up to see me she wore a sad smile, i went to hug her she didn't react other than hug me tightly. "They took Erwin.." Maria whispered."How's that even possible? " Seth question calmly. "I don't know it all happened so fast." Maria whined. "Why did they take Erwin and leave you behind? " Seth asked. "I don't know I'm lost as you, the first thing i was with Erwin and some brunette haired girl said walked up to me saying she can't find her grandma, the next thing she drags me even when i told her to fuck off and the next thing in know a bullet was fired and the last person i saw was Erwin, then i passed out and before i blacked out he glared at the girl yelled, you... " My heart stopped for a second and continue pounding, the girl in the description sounds familiar. "The next thing i wake up half unconscious t
•••MANDY•••I packed everything i needed, i even went ahead to snatching cash from Terry's room i quickly put everything into my bag, i wasn't going to stay here any longer while they plan to kill Quinn. I finished packing zipping up my backpack, I'm so happy Terry didn't chain me to my bed anymore I've done more than enough to gain his trust and fooling him that he can have his way with me, if possible I'll shoot the bastard but I've been waiting for this day. I sling the back pack over my shoulder going through the map i photoshopped in my mind i heaved a deep breath a little bit concerned everything, i pull out my gun and massaging my bullets in. "Here goes nothing.." i hissed quietly creaking the door open looking for any obstacle, the coast looked clear, i broke out and took to my heels, i heard footsteps getting louder and shot anyone that seemed like a threat, i shot about three guards so far and took one of their guns, i was relieved i made it this far until i saw Terry. "
•••QUINN•••I wore a baseball cap and a nose mask obviously while helping Maria at the cafe there were not that much people only four, three girls and a man who just ordered only plain coffee, i went up to Maria who was reading some kind of magazine. "I'm done delivering orders..." i said itching my neck since i settle for a turtle neck to hide Seth's hickey, the door leading to the garage revealed Erwin who was clad in black, he wore a black nose mask, his eyes looked souless and unexcited as he trail down to our direction, i heard a few mummurs from the girls who were eyeing Erwin, i scoff uninterested elbowing the counter."Hey Erwin, you've got admirers.." Maria tease pointing the teenage girls. "Not interested." Erwin snarled immediately, pinning his elbow too on the counter, recently he's been acting weird or should i say quiet i would love to ask but i don't see that happening without him gloating, he doesn't need my pity."Maybe one of them can help you get over.. ""Shut up.
A few days later i did Movie night with Maria, Haven and Erwin, Darren said he was busy but promised to take out time to hang out with me especially and Seth, he didn't want to come.I was heading back to my room exhausted, i only agreed to do the movie night because i thought I'll be exhausted in the end, well i thought wrong.I paced down the corridor quietly strolling down to my door, quickly i opened it it was dark at first, i switched on the light to see Seth laid on my bed, i balled my hands into fists and rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't part of an illusion caused by my exhaustion.I turned thinking of exiting the room the moment i grabbed the door knob he mutters. "Turn around.." i heard him scoff humourifically, i turned pissed he found the current situation amusing."What are you doing in my bed? " i don't know what came over me that made me to even utter that question, a smirk crawled up his lips a mischievous one, i was pissed but i didn't dare take another step."The
•••QUINN•••My eyes slowly opened, i groaned out a last hiss realising i didn't get much sleep again, my head ached a bit thinking how awful it was staying up and thanks to my insomnia i still can't get enough sleep, my eyes blinked twice recalling how i was able to sleep when Seth was around, probably the first time I've was weak and exhausted so i probably can't stay up all night but a few days passed i was able to sleep for some reason.I hissed when a ray of light found it's way to my bed room, i recalled what happened last night and terribly cringed to it, i swear Erwin is going to tease me for life, i tried pushing myself up and then hissed again feeling some kind of ache on my bare skin."Did he probably drug me during those times?" i questioned myself, i shook my head on the thought that i barely ate so the possibility of him drugging me were low, probably i was exhausted and weak from not eating my body decided to preserve my health and sleep.But of all the times i couldn't
"What is this place? " i asked, Maria tagged closely to me. "The guys bought this place a few months ago disguise as a cafe i run while they plan behind the scenes, it's a cover up so they won't get easily tracked, down here is the garage while that door leads to the cafe, when i heard you were coming today i just had to see you, your hair is amazing by the way." Maria complimented.There was another door possibly the door to the rest of the floors, again these guys are freaking rich to think of buying a building.Erwin and Seth were walking to the door until Seth stopped then turned to Maria. "Maria why don't you show Quinn the cafe..." she nodded quickly and took my hand leading me to another door probably to the cafe, she opened the door there were a few customers drinking, a few were on their phones while some were chatting.I quickly hovered my palm against my face to hide my identity, Maria noticed and quickly escort me to the back of the counter to a tiny room, there were provi
•••MOLLY•••I sat down comfortably eating my pancake, Erica and Manfred show up, Manfred looked pissed and stressed probably since they couldn't find that lousy bitch after her disastrous enthronement, it's been a week it's like she just disappeared it's a good thing because that could mean she's out of the way."How are you Molly? " Manfred asked."I'm fine..." i didn't bother to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Quinn, i hope she sure dies...""What... " Manfred coughed, i looked up totally unfazed realizing the shit i just muttered. "I said i hope she survives..." I chuckled looking at Erica who rolled her eyes at my lame excuse. "Manfred we should really be going, we have work on our hands." Erica said as Manfred nodded."Molly why are you here again? " Manfred asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in school or with your grandma ? " he added."I just decided to stop by before i finally go to school, sorry for the inconvenience..." i teethed as Manfred nodded
