Davis's POVI stood as I watched the cars drive towards the house we stayed very close to the beach. There were three black cars though. I wondered why Jack would have to use this many cars when he was coming alone. He had said he would be here two days ago but delayed his coming till today. I was excited to see him but also sad because we used to be more than two. I sighed before pushing the thought off my mind before it ruined my mood. The cars stopped one after the other, with my hand behind my back I watched the door open and saw Jack one out of the first car. "Jack," I called as I walked over to him. I can't remember the last time I saw him in person. Since he got married, I decided to let him go. His family was more important. I pulled him into a hug"I've missed you, man" I smiled. Just then, the other car opened and someone stepped out. I raised my brow when I saw who it was. "Gideon" A smile spread on my lips. Few days before the clash, I had asked Vincent to send a mess
Author's POVWith Helen sitting on Vincent's lap, Vincent spoke up after a while. They had all gotten a piece of the cake. Adrianna was still quiet and had not spoken a word to Vincent since he came in. Davis could not contain his excitement. “During the fight, I came face to face with Raymond. I was shocked he was the one behind the scheme. I knew if you had known, you wouldn't want to fight anymore, so I tried to reach you to know what to do because if I had killed him, I wasn't sure you'd be pleased” His eyes were fixed on Davis, who looked from him to the ground. Back then, he would have not been pleased, but not anymore. Now, he is more than delighted to take the man's life by himselfOne thing he thought of back then was the words of his godfather. To always protect each other, and look after one another, but he could see that Raymond never really considered him family. So he'll stop seeing him as one from now on, the ones who are his family are the ones sitting here and the o
Davis's POVI had made sure the ladies had gone to sleep when I sat the men down for a talk. Now, this was the real meeting, and I'm ready to take the bull by the horns now. I feel satisfied seeing my people by my side. This means that there is still hope, lots of it, and as Grace had said, when I step into New York, they'll know that their Don is back.“We can't do anything without men by our side. Our men had gone into hiding, especially after they found out that Raymond had taken over. If we are going to fight, we need more men,” Vincent spoke and I nodded. “I can get my gang,” Gideon suggested. I nodded again, knowing it was a good idea but…“Will they agree to it knowing that they are fighting with their new Don?” I asked.“Davis, I'm not sure that Jack explained to you what Raymond is doing in New York. Everyone is against his rule, he is ruling with an iron fist and without any remorse” Vincent spoke up, making me frown. “He is no one's friend and takes advice from no one. He
Grace's POVI woke up to see Davis already dressed, he was looking at the mirror as he knotted his tie. If not that Davis was Davis, I would have thought someone else had stepped into our room and was using our mirror. Vincent perhaps, but this was Davis. I was sure of it even though I could only see his back. “What are you up to?” I asked the man, who finally turned to meet my eyes, only for me to exclaim,“Wow” I giggled, “What are you doing with glasses?” I asked.He gave me a sheepish smile as he walked over and pecked my lips. He wasn't only wearing a purple long-sleeve shirt, he had tucked in, wore glasses, and combed his hair backward. What the hell was going on? This is nothing like my Davis at all. “What's going on?” I asked again.“The boys and I are going somewhere” he replied, making me raise my brow. Okay, I agree he was going somewhere, why dress this way? I wasn't used to it at all. “Where? Why do you have to dress like this if you're going out?” I asked with furrow
Davis's POVJack and Vincent used a van, while Gideon and I used one of the cars. The road, as always was busy that Saturday morning. We knew the journey was a two hour drive from the beach, so we left on time. At 9 a.m., we were already in position. While Jack and Vincent remained in their van few blocks from the psychiatric hospital, Gideon and I made our way into the place. It was a small place. Not so big, I was expecting it to be at least filled with a lot of security, but the place looked old and small. “Good morning, we are here to see Margaret Jones,” Gideon said to the lady behind the desk. “Margaret Jones? Who are you to her?” She asked and I quickly said, “Friends. We used to know her back in the neighborhood and she was a lovely woman. Someone told us she was here, and we wanted to visit and give her gifts” and there were gifts in our hands. It was like we were coming to see baby Jesus with these many gifts. The gift wasn't only big, but there were four. No one would
Davis's POVGideon and I walked out of the psychiatric hospital drained of strength. We made our way to the car and drove off. We had spent the entire day with Margaret Jones. Who would have believed that the woman was Raymond's biological mother? What was Raymond fucking thinking, locking her up in a psychiatric hospital?“I still think we should have freed her” Gideon gave out his thoughts and I sighed. He wasn't wrong, the woman needed saving, and she begged us to take her out of that hell as well, but we couldn't do that.“That would blow our cover. We can't free her just yet. We will, soon, but that can only be after we've taken back New York. If Raymond goes deep into who had helped her escape, he'll realize that I'm alive” I replied. Even though I wanted to free the woman so badly, she looked like she was calling for me. She reminds me of Ma'am Marian so much. “But we'll get her. We'll make sure we free her from that prison” I said sternly. It was the promise I made to her be
Davis's POVAnd as always, I had the best night with Grace. That girl, I can never have enough of her. I smiled as I watched her sleep. Recently, she had cultivated the habit of cuddling me too tightly as she slept. Like I said, I had her both as dinner and dessert, although she made me eat proper dinner with the guys. Since there was talk about business at the dining table, we postponed our discussion. Vincent wanted us to meet at dinner, but I knew what I would be doing after dinner, so I refused. I combed Grace's hair backwards from her face, as I looked at her with loving eyes. My baby was the one who protected me after all. No matter what I think of it, I can't just help but marvel at how sweet she must have been while she shot and fought for me. All thanks to Adrianna, who put her all into teaching Grace how to fight. The girl is now more serious than Adrianna. I knew I once said I needed a strong and independent lady who could fight, but now, I think I'm fine with whatever G
Davis's POVI stood before the waters as I watched the waves. Grace had told me that whenever she needed to calm her nerves, she came here, very close to the water. I smiled at her words then, but now I could feel the calmness it brings to the soul. I threw the stone in my hand into the far sea, I didn't even hear a splash,“Don,” I turned to see Adrianna walking over to where I was. I raised a brow, she had been quiet since I woke up, and we hardly spoke to each other. At first, it was because I had failed Vincent, but Vincent was alive, so I don't know why. “Adrianna,” I called, as I gave her my attention. Grace told me Adriana has a thing for Vincent, I'm not shocked, Vincent's a nice guy, but I don't think the man wants anything that concerns love right now or ever. I heard he has a sad past, he had told me about it but not in detail. According to him, he would rather not remember it. So I wonder what Adrianna would want to do with the feelings she has for him.“I need to tal
