Aubrey's povI knew he was lying.
I woke up few hours ago, thinking I'd find myself in the hands of that bastard, Carlos. But here I am, in Drexel's house, staring at the blank TV screen.
When I woke up, Drexel told me that the black Mafias dropped me off earlier today, but that sounded really lame; I mean, why did Carlos kidnap me if he was just going to drop my sleeping body at Drexel's front door, why didn't he kill me?
I also knew it was a lie because I just heard the news, the club I went to earlier, was said to have been burnt down to the ground, same was the black Mafias estate.
Somehow, I knew it was connected to my release.
24Aubrey's pov."I'll leave you both."Max's voice broke into the tense atmosphere as he turned off the game and walked out, not before he turned to give me a thumbs up.After he left, I stood up too, staring at Tyler who apparently, couldn't get his eyes off me, I really wanted to know what was going on in his head.Seeing him now, I realized how much I missed him, I realized how much I hurt him, I realized how much his last words hurt me. Fine, we said and did somethings to each other, but that didn't stop the electrical intensity between us.. that didn't stop me from liking him or caring about him... That didn't make me hate him.Whatever I feel fo
25Aubrey's pov I woke up to the sound of a running shower.Opening my eyes, a smile found it's way to my lips as I remembered last night, Tyler and I were back together and I was so glad that we didn't have to argue much... Although our relationship still had no definition.But I had a mission, a mission to change Tyler Bresfort, to mould him into that man that he had always wanted to be. I want to make him forget about this Mafia life style, I want him to stop killing people just for the fun of it. I want him to forget about the parcel and move on... With me. I want him to be the man that is perfect for me and
26Aubrey's povThis is so not happening. My mind screamed as I stood in front of Drexel's door, scared to open it. I didn't know what to expect.My mom didn't inform me of her visit, she usually does but now, I don't know what changed, why did she come anyways? Did something happen? Are my sisters okay? If they weren't, they would have called, so why was my mom here?Oh my god!!!I began to panic; what if she knew? What if she heard about my arrest, or kidnap? What if she has come to take me away from Vino? Does she know about Tyler?
27Aubrey's pov"Aubrey?"The sound of Alicia's voice made me raise my head up, I knew my eyes were red and puffy now, due to so much crying and praying.Ever since Tyler was taken into the ICU, I had been praying for him to get better, I didn't want anything bad to happen to him, I wondered why he didn't tell me anything... No wonder he looked so pale.This was all my fault, I should have asked Tyler more about his appearance! I should have stayed, I should have paid more attention to him."Alicia." I said, standing up and embracing her in a warm tight hug."It's going to be okay." Alicia said, breaki
28Aubrey's pov"It's confirmed! You're crazy! You're even crazier than Tyler when he's angry! How can you even think of doing something so dangerous?! Haven't you learnt your lessons from being kidnapped? Do you seriously want to die?" Drexel's voice resounded around his apartment. "It's Jullie, I can't just sit by and watch her stay kidnapped, I must do something!" I argued with him."Why must you do something? Tyler warned you to stay away, are you seriously going to defy him?" Drexel asked, looking straight into my eyes."Look Drex, Tyler is in no shape to handle Alessandro, and I know very well that Tyler wouldn't give up the parcel for anything in the world, Alessandro wants to kill
29Tyler's pov "I can't sit here and do nothing Davy, I feel so useless, Jullie's been kidnapped and I can't do a damn thing about it!" I stood by my window, looking off to space, the slight tingling in my stomach was unbearable! I had convinced Davy to allow me come back to my mansion and he agreed after so many days of begging and begging. I seriously felt so useless and stupid- Davy asked me to back off from the case, scared that Alessandro was just after my life... Well, I had to admit it, Davy was right, Alessandro was just after my life and my friggin parcel, now he has my sister. "First of all, you're not sitting, you're standing- se
30Aubrey's pov"You know, I'm beginning to get worried; do you know that, this is like the third time I've gotten myself kidnapped in two months?" I continued to chatter on and on, obviously annoying the guard that was sent to watch me, his grip on his gun made his knuckles turn white.That's right bitches! This is what you get for kidnapping me."Trust me, I've been thinking about it since you guys caught me... Oh well, I guess my new years' resolution went down the drain when I came to Vino."The man still didn't reply, he just looked away."Anyhoo, you look quite familiar? I t
31Tyler's pov"Your pick..."Alessandro's voice continued to resound in my ears as I glared at him... Is he really going to make me choose between Aubrey and my parcel?Okay, I expected this... But I didn't know he'd put it this way, he had a gun pressed to Aubrey's neck, if I didn't comply, this crazy guy would shoot her."We don't have all day Tyler." Alessandro smirked at me."Don't listen to him Tyler, he can't hurt me, Aoww" Aubrey stopped talking because Alessandro dared to pull her hair."Watch where your hands go, man." I snarled out, feeling really pissed right now.
EpilogueAubrey's pov6 YEARS LATERHe changed... It was unbelievable but it happened, he stopped the unessecary killings, he stopped the torture and kidnappings, he was really better, we were at peace... Or so we thought...We lived everyday in six years, looking begin our backs, knowing that it is only a matter of time before the Hawks finally strike with full force.But I have no issue with Tyler going into full Mafia mode... Why? Well... I guess it was because Max was way more interested In all this shit than anybody would have thought... He was ever determined to get the parcel back to the Bresforts mob... But it wasn't just to keep it... His main motive was to destroy it.He knew how important it was and how dangerous it would be if the key wa
42Aubrey's pov It wasn't a dream.He was here, Tyler goddam Bresfort was standing right Infront of me with a gun pointed to my head, he was right here and it feels like time stopped.Everyone thought he was dead, everyone believed that Tyler finally had a taste of his own medicine... But no... Here he is, staring at me like he was seeing me for the freaking first time...He dropped his gun slowly.I took few steps closer to him, unable to control myself, tears made their way to my eyes, blurring my vision... I lightly pushed his chest, just to be sure."Seriously? You believed?" He finally said...I looked back up at him, shaking my head without control. "No.
41Tyler's pov Alfonso took few steps to his table, his eyes never leaving mine. I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't see this coming, well, he should have known."Tyler? What are you doing?" He asked me, joining his brows together in confusion. "What do you think you're doing?"The chaos downstairs could be heard very clearly, the sound of gunshots here and there."I'm putting an end to this madness." I answered him... "You're going to stop whatever it is that you're planning."He shook his head slowly. "You never understood... Just like always... You were never into all this, the Mafia isn't for you Tyler.
40Aubrey's pov "South side of Vino... That's where the Hawks are, yeah- I'll gather couple of my men, to go check it out... Yes sir- I'll appreciate. Yeah." Davy finally dropped his phone, turning to face me. "We have all the support we need... Now, we just have to go there."Relief settled deep in my stomach. "That's great- when are we going?"Davy's brows came together. "We?" He asked."Yes, I hope you know that I'm coming with, I want to go too." I said.Davy shock his head several times. "No, no, I won't let that happen, you can't come with us. It's too dangerous."&
39Tyler's pov The hug my dad was giving me right now, was an uncomfortable one, my mind was swimming with unanswered questions, how come is he still alive? All these years he has been away from the family- he was alive? How is that even possible?How is it possible that you're also alive.My dad broke the hug. "Come with me slugger, I can see that you have questions to ask, I'll answer everyone of them... But not Infront of these dead men." He smirked.I just gave him a blank look... So they were taking orders from him? He is the leader of the Hawks? What kind of betrayal is this.I wouldn't have followed him, but I had so
38Tyler's pov My eyes snapped open, as I jumped right up in bed, trying to breath enough air into my lungs, my hands flew to my chest where I'd being shot earlier, I felt no pain or bullet wound holes... What the-My eyes scanned my surroundings to find that I was in a large room and the bed was unfamiliar, the room looked really empty..."How the hell did I get here?" I said to myself.Getting up from the bed, my bare foot met with the cold white ground, my head gave a small spin making me grip the bed handle... I blinked several times to get my vision back into place.Aubrey.
37Aubrey's povYou know that feeling you get when you know that nothing good could ever come out of your current situation? I was feeling the exact thing... I was really trying so hard to be positive, praying and hoping for a miracle as I paced in the hospital hall way, trying so hard not to breakdown and cry.Alicia and Jullie were doing just that as they tried to comfort each other with hugs, My mom was also here. Carmen and Lilo had to stay back with Max. Drexel and Davy had gone out a few minutes ago to get coffee for us... But trust me, coffee was the last thing on my mind right now... I refused to blame karma for this, I blame myself... If I hadn't pester him on going to see what the hell was going on, he wouldn't have gotten three
36Tyler's pov The jolly music in the background of the reception was doing nothing to distract me from my wife's beauty.The wedding was a success, just like I planned it, we were actually doing the couple dance stuff, it was boring and stressful, all I wanted was for this night to end, I wanted some alone time with my wife.My wife...It sounded good in my ears, it made me realize how far we've come, all the killings and arguments- it all just led us here, to the reception of our wedding.My mom was perhaps the most happiest person in this reception, she was really happy, she bragged about me to her friends, I guess they once told her
35Aubrey's pov Tyler's face formed into a wide grin as we got down from the car, I wonder why he brought me over to my mom's house?"You didn't answer my question?” Tyler frowned."Maybe that's because you didn't answer mine earlier." I retorted. He asked me how his acting skills fell into place, I mean, I was worried- He acted like something terrible was about to happen and we needed to escape like our lives depended on it. He made it seem like our lives depended on it.He swung his arm over my shoulder as we walked down the lawn to my mother's house, this place brought up so many memories for me.
