Aubrey's pov
I paced back and forth in the holding cell, thinking of ways to get out of this mess, why did I ever agree to this shit! I still can't believe that Tyler would do such a thing to me! How could I ever think that Tyler would entrust his parcel to me?
You're so foolish Aubrey!
Why did I get myself involved with a man as selfish as Tyler Bresfort?! Was i blind? Did he put me in some kind of sex charm? Why did I let myself get used like this?
What would become of me now? Will I ever get out of here? How many years would I serve in jail? Three years? Four years? Ten?
No no no
I raked my hands through my hair harshly! I hate myself so much! I hate myself for getting involved with that narcissistic bastard!
"What was I thinking?" I voiced out.
I should have listened to Amelia!
6Tyler's pov"The job is done."Mr Russo's voice echoed around my very big office, I turned to look at the dwarf, he was grinning from ear to ear."Mr Alessandro bought it, he thinks the police has the parcel, the money is all yours, Tyler." Mr Russo said, scratching his thick irritating beards.I nodded slowly. "The girl has been arrested?" I asked."Yes Tyler, it all went as planned." Mr Russo said with a grin on his box like face."How long do you think she'll serve in jail?" I asked the dwarf, turning to him completely."Ten years, tops..." He said.I looked down, anger surging through my veins, I wonder what Gray must think of me now? Surely she would hate me, probably planning of ways to end my life. But it was all part of the plan.
7Tyler's POVMy heart was beating five times per second.I was staring at the phone that I used to answer Gray's call, my office was silent, the only sound that could be heard was the loud thumping of my heart. And the most funniest part was that, I knew why my heart was going ballistic.Gray cried.I knew she was crying, her voice said it all, but did she actually believe everything that I said? Didn't she think that something was up? Why would she even think for a second that I would leave her to rot in jail?There was something about her voice that made me feel something that I didn't want to ever, ever feel, her voice opened a lock in me that was meant to be locked.There's no doubt about how I feel for Gray, and it hurts me to admit that I actually like her... I was the one who brought the rule of no attachment, just sex..
8Aubrey's pov"You're free to go."I jumped on my feet, rubbing my palms to my thighs... I'm free to what? The police guy came in and took off the cuffs from my wrist.Wait, am I dreaming? Are they actually letting me go?I walked out of the cell slowly.It's been almost three hours since I called Drex, was he responsible for my release? If he was, how did he manage?"This way." The police officer motioned for me to follow him, and i did.I saw Drexel, sitting on a waiting chair. I guess it was him after all, but how did he do it? How did he manage to get me out of here."Drex?" I called his attention.He looked up immediately, with a sigh of relief, he stood up and hugged me, I hugged him back and whispered. "How?"He smiled when we broke the hug. "I might not
9Tyler's POVMy fingers moved round the tip of the coffee cup as my mind went off to different places.I was currently in a nearby coffee shop, called coffee with Vino. I loved their coffee here, it was strong and it tasted really good.I was actually waiting for detective Davy Jones, I called him earlier today, asking him to meet up in this coffee shop, just like old times.I wasn't able to go to the hospital to see my mom and Jullie, due to the fact that I knew Alessandro's men were following me, they wanted to confirm if I really had close contact with my family.I have never been so confused in my entire life, I wanted to go see Jullie, but I couldn't, there was no one to tell my problems to, no one to give me advice... I had no one.Sometimes I just wondered how my life woul
10Aubrey's pov"Your ex boyfriend is a psychopath!" Drex remarked.I laughed, as I settled on his couch, watching the news, well it turns out that Tyler was dropping bodies each day, he's killing without reason... All because of his stolen parcel, which of course, I'm responsible for."Don't mind him," I said. "He is just throwing tantrums, he'll stop soon enough.""If that's tantrums, I don't want to know what he's like, when he's actually angry...It's been two days, still, he's killing people like he created them? What the fuck." Drexel raised his brows in amusement.I watched the news, fifteen bodies now, I can't say I wasn't worried, I am, if Tyler continues like this, he would end the lives of everyone in Vino, without noticing.So, my first plan had taken place already, I s
11Aubrey's povThe slight ticking sound of a clock resounded in my ears as I began to gain consciousness, my head felt light and my eye lids felt too heavy to lift.But I tried my absolute best to lift them open.My eyes fluttered open slowly, there was no need for it to adjust to whatsoever bright light that was supposed to meet my eyes, cause there wasn't. The light in the room was perfect for me to open my eyes.When I did, I knew exactly where I was, the very familiar dark walls and the big chandelier hanging from the very dark ceiling... The texture of the mattress underneath my body was exactly the same as the one I spent most of my nights on, before I went to prison.The silky dark sheets around me.I tried to move my hands, but I couldn't, well turns out that my hands wer
12Tyler's pov"Okay, so spill."Aubrey's gray eyes burnt through the side of my face as I drove to the vino hospital.What do I say? What do I tell her? That my sister has decided to end her life? Or that I was the stupid brother who refused to see her just because of some mafia crap.Even now, I decided not to think of the consequence of this visit, I just followed my heart, Jullie's life was all that mattered right now... I'd think of a way to protect her from Alessandro's wrath later."Tyler."At least, with Gray by my side, I'd think of something faster, I knew kidnapping her was the only way to get her to talk to me, I knew it was the only way to get her to listen to me."Bresfort?! Hello...Ooo"
13Aubrey's pov"Hi... I'm Aubrey Chandler. Tyler's- um- friend."My own voice sounded so different, and I knew why, the emotional exchange between Tyler and his mom was so strong and it actually made me realize how much I missed my own mom.Tyler's face fell with disappointment when I mentioned the friend word. Wait, what did he expect me to say, acquaintance? Sex slave, cook? Our relationship doesn't have a definition and I'm afraid to say that it never would.But I actually have to admit, today in that car, I realized how much Tyler loved his family, even though he was too butt headed to show it, it was written all over his face that he was worried sick about Jullie, although I didn't know her, but I was also worried."Oh, Tyler didn't mention anything like this over the phone, but we all know he's Tyler, he's foolish like that." His mom said, I tried so hard to withhold a smile.
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.
