Aubrey's povWith my ear plugs connected to my ears, I jogged back to Drexel's apartment, feeling really fit. It had been a week since Tyler and I got back together, although, our relationship still had no name to it, but with the way Tyler acts these days, I was beginning to consider him as a boyfriend.
As much as I tried to stop myself from falling in love with Tyler, my attempts have proved null, being with him was what I wanted, I knew I might get hurt by my decision, and by letting myself fall for him, but it was worth the shot.
A short time of happiness is better than a long time of sadness and loneliness.
Ever since I started this thing with Tyler, my one rule was to n
34Aubrey's pov Living with Tyler was one of the best decisions I had made so far, it was amazing, he was so kind and sweet to me, he never failed to remind me that he loved me, sometimes if he's out, he would just call to tell me that he loved me.I found it sweet and funny, this Tyler was different from the one I knew, the one who was so obsessed with the parcel. Alicia was the happiest, she loved the fact that Tyler took his time to visit once in a while, she was like a mother to me during these past few days, Jullie was just Jullie, thanking me for bringing her brother back to them.Max, well... For some reason, he was obsessed with guns and he actually didn't like the fa
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.
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
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
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.
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
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."&
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.
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.
