2024-10-29 19:42:56The dark-haired man hid behind the bushes in the garden on the Bandit property. He watched as Mr. Bandit paced back and forth in front of his office window. He enjoyed seeing the man scared. He was painted as a criminal when he tried to do what he thought was best. Ben Bandit turned his wife against him and ruined him. His whole life fell apart because of Ben Bandit.
“This is only the beginning ben,” the man growled to himself. “You will regret the day you were born.”
The dark-haired man was ready to serve justice. For he felt he deserved it, and more.

John Bandit P.O.V“Her – her father?” I stuttered in shock.Horrification filled my body. From how my father portrays Chasity’s father, he sounds like a dangerous man. He was able to come and go undetected many times and this was the first time he allowed himself to be seen.Key word: Allowed. Andy Giles was toying with us. Showing us time after time that he was there and that he is watching. That at any moment he could break the peace that filled our lives. Envelopes being sent to our house with personal pictures, and now a visit to our house?“How dare he,” my father repeatedly sneered. He scoffed and pulled at the tie that hug around his neck. Fuming and growled, “He will not be getting away this time.” He paced back and forth in front of his office window.I was perplexed. “This time?” I repeated. I stepped closer to my father, who had yet to turn arou

There once was a beautiful woman,who owned the heart of the man she loved.Together they had a beautiful daughter,a child they dearly beloved.When tragedy stuck,the magical tower they lived in fell.The man turned to darkness,but his wife’s pregnant belly grew well.He swore one day that everything will be better,He’d make her smile and write love letters.That however did not come true.For he fell into villainhood and became one too. The first crime he was tasked, was not a success.Because it involved killing a rich man, and then his young wife next.---A/N: *Gasp* So what do you think this poem was trying to say? *Wink Wink* Tell me what you think down in the comments below! Thank you so much for reading and supporting me. I freaking love you guys. You're all awesome!

Ben Bandit P.O.V(Flashback)“Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Bandit! It’s a boy!” beamed the doctor.We were both at Belle’s doctor’s appointment and today was the day her doctor told us what the gender of our baby was. We didn’t care what gender our child was. All we wished was for our baby to be born a healthy baby, and if complications came; we’d still love them and shower them with bountiful amounts of affection. We love this child very much even though he hasn’t been born yet.A tear slipped out my eye as we saw the doctor point to our baby on the ultrasound. Hearing the heartbeat made everything the more emotional. We made another human being out of love. A child that will be born with a piece of my wife and I. It was still mind-blowing to think that I’m a father now.At first when Belle told me, she and I were both nervous. We both knew we were going to be

Ben Bandit P.O.VWhen the car slammed into our car, they ran into Belle’s side of the car. We were hit so hard; our car ran into a grocery store. Our heads slamming into the car window and momentarily knocking us out.I didn’t wake up until I saw Sam’s face in front of me. He was saying something, but I couldn’t hear him. My ears were ringing and all I could see was his mouth moving. Then like the quietness fading, I finally came too.“Sir! We have to go!” he shouted louder, already unbuckling my seatbelt.I groaned in pain, my whole body felt weak and extremely in pain. I turned to my side and belle was knocked out. My heart dropped and I immediately thought the worse.“Belle,” I called her, my voice horse and body aching from pain.She didn’t respond and tears were pouring out of my eyes.“Belle!” I shouted, trying to wake her up.Her eyes flut

Ben Bandit P.O.V“Belle we need to go.” I exclaimed, grabbing my wife and pulling her away from Annie.Belle looked extremely confused, “What’s wrong?” Annie’s face matched hers and looked confused at my actions as well.I looked at Annie with hate and suspicion in my eyes, “No wonder why the driver of the vehicle looked familiar.” Pushing Belle behind me, “That was her husband, Andrew Dawson. The man that was shooting at us.”Belle’s hand flew to her mouth as she gasped in horror and backed away from Annie. As if the touch of her would burn us.Annie shot up from her seat fiercely shook her head in denial, “Impossible! Okay yes, my husband has changed ever since he lost his job, but he would never do something like killing another person!” She repeated herself, “He would never do that!”I shook my head, still not

Ben Bandit P.O.VWe fought for what felt like forever. I guess that’s how it feels when you’re fighting for your life. When I was able to get the gun out of Andrews hand, he kicked it out of my reach. Annie still watching the quarrel between her husband and I ran for the gun. I turned to see her holding it to us, and Andrew takes that moment of distraction to put me in a guillotine choke hold.“Andrew, we don’t need the money!” cried Annie.“Yes, we do,” he fired back. “I already signed a contract to kill, and if I back out now, bad men will come after us.”“Oh my gosh,” Annie cried in emotional pain.I felt bad for her, but didn’t dwell on that, because I was too busy fighting for my life.“Annie shoot him now!” Andrew screamed to his wife.“We can run away!” Annie pleaded.“They will find us Annie.” And

Joe Bandit P.O.VI let out a breath of air in shock, feeling like I’ve just gotten off an emotional rollercoaster ride. “That’s insane,” I shook my head back and forth at the drama. “She shot him?” I asked, referring to Mrs. Dawson shooting her own husband to save my father.My father nodded, as if the thought still surprised him to this day.“She did it to save an innocent man.” He said in a thankful tone. “If it wasn’t for her, I would be dead. Then who knows how you and your mother would have ended up.”This made me love Mrs. Dawson all the more. Thankful for her sparing my father and letting him live. I can imagine the pain she must have felt, after she shot her husband. When I thought back to the picture that Chasity showed me, you can tell she was genuinely in love with her husband. So to kill the man that you live, for someone else to live because you k

Joe Bandit P.O.VI shut the door behind me, after exiting my father’s office. Leaned against the door, my head falling back from exhaustion from the news I revived. I feel like I got the wind knocked right out of me. Finding out about what happened between my parents and Chasity’s parents. My mind couldn’t help but think of the horrible consequence if Mrs. Dawson had shot my father. My mother would be a widow trying her best to raise her child all alone.My heart hurt just thinking of it. Sighing, I went to one of the guestrooms in this house, not wanting to see anyone yet. I needed to think of what I would tell Chasity and how I would tell her. My palms started to sweat and I haven’t even told her yet. I walked to the balcony of the room and leaned against the rail. Staring off into the distance, my mind thinks of Chasity. Thinking about wanting to spend more time with her, I pull out my phone to text her.

Speak To Me Epilogue
Joe Bandit P.O.VI felt like someone punched me in the gut and I couldn’t breathe. When Gio told me, what happened to John I almost joined him in destroying the house. That didn’t happen, only because Chasity heard Gio throwing things and came running downstairs. When I told her that John died, she threw her arms around me and hugged me tight as she cried her eyes out. My eyes flooded with tears, and I tried to keep it at bay but it was useless.If John saw me crying right now, he’d tell me, “Only girls cry Joe.” Then I’d push him and say “You’ve cried before too! So that makes you a girl!” We’d laugh and head to the theater room to watch a movie. It pained me to know that we would never get to do that again.When the exchange for my mother had been made after my dad signed the documents that would give James complete control of my father’s company, shots were fired. Andr
Speak To Me Chapter 72
Joe Bandit P.O.V“You want to know what’s so funny?” I laughed out loud at the sudden thought.Gio and Chasity looked at me. “What?” they asked in unison.I shook my head, “Earlier I could have sworn I saw Payton, as we were coming down the elevator.”Gio’s fork dropped from his hand and onto his plate in shock. “You saw Payton? Here?” He rushed out, looking around in alert.The smile that was on my face fell.“Well, I think I saw her.” I said starting to feel uneasy. “I could be wrong. Why? Is that not a good thing?”Gio stood up and shook his head.“The call that I just had, was from one of our men. He said that he found videos of Payton meeting James Cotton last week and was at your house today while you and your parents were out. She was there when your mother was abducted. Your mother didn’t se
Speak To Me Chapter 71
Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at Chasity’s eyes and couldn’t believe how lucky I got to have this girl in my life. Our situation is weird, considering the fact that her dad tried to kill my parents, but I’m still grateful that one of the results is something that led Chasity into my life.Not wanting to say this, but needing to come clean I tell her my secret, “Chasity, I knew that your dad was alive.”Her eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”She didn’t pull away from me, so this was a good sign.“My father advised against it. We argued so many times, because I wanted to tell you and he didn’t feel like it was the time to do it.”She looked down, “I heard you guys arguing one time in the office. The door wasn’t fully shut. You were screaming at each other and one of the things you said is something along the lines of, a girl having the right t
Speak To Me Chapter 70
Joe Bandit P.O.VThe whole car ride to the safe house, was spent in total silence. No one spoke and no one needed to. I didn’t know that my dad had a safe house. Did my mom know about it? If she did, why didn’t she tell me? It was now an hour and we still weren’t there. We were heading to the mountains and the deeper we went I saw less and less proof of civilization.An hour later, Gio finally spoke up, “We’re here.”I watched as he pulled into a lane that led to a small shack.“You’ve got to be kidding me Gio,” I couldn’t help but say. “I don’t mean to sound spoiled but my father is a rich man. I assumed that he would have bought a bigger safe house.”Gio got out of the car and smirked at me. “Your father is a very rich man indeed.”I raised my brow at the way he spoke. As if he knew something I didn’t.Gio went to Annie to help her walk,
Speak To Me Chapter 69
Joe Bandit P.O.VI watched as the man my father brutally beaten groaned from the immense pain he was feeling. His face all bloodied up and bruised, he looked almost unrecognizable. Then again, I’m sure any man would if they were beaten the way Andrew was.“So, what now dad?” I asked, as I watched him pace back and forth.He looked at John instead of me, “I want all the men to be at Owls Tower at eleven. We are meeting James at midnight. He wants me to sign over the rights to my company.”“Yes sir,” nodded John.This is so weird seeing my best friend acting this way. As Andrew was getting a beating from my father, John confessed that my dad hired him as my body guard. John’s family are a part of a secret organization that protects very wealthy men. It doesn’t matter if the person is good or bad. If the money pays well, then the bodyguard the client receives will be even better.
Speak To Me Chapter 68
James Cotton P.O.VI smile as everything that I’ve waited for fall into plan. I accept the call, and watch Belle as I pick up the phone. I put it to my ear waiting for the onslaught of threats I know I will receive. If ben is calling me then obviously that idiot Andrew Dawson failed. No matter, I always have a backup plan anyways.“Hi Ben!” I greeted with chipper.“WHERE IS MY WIFE!?” shouted ben from the other side of the line.I cringed and pulled the phone away from my ear.“GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE!!!” he continued to shout.“BEN!!!” Screamed Belle.“BELLE!” shouted Ben, when he heard her voice.I put the phone back to my ear, holding it a bit away because I know he wasn’t done yelling.“You know how this is going to go ben,” I drawled. “We’ve watched enough movies to know what happens here.”&ldq
Speak To Me Chapter 67
Belle Bandit P.O.VI groaned in pain as I start to wake up from my sleep. My head is pounding from a serious migraine and my ears are ringing. I’m sitting on a chair with my feet tied with ropes and my arm tied behind my back to a chair. I feel like I got hit my Muhammad Ali in a fight and lost.Feeling Clueless as I scanned the room that I was in, “Where am I?”I was in an empty room with nothing else, but the silence to fill me. My mind tried to recall what I was doing last. Ben had already left for work, and Joe had left to pick up Chasity for school. I was the last to leave and as I was heading to my car, I turned around when I saw a reflection of a man approaching me from behind. They knocked me at the back of the head before I got the chance to turn around. Next thing I know, I wake up here.“Someone please help me!” I shouted as loud as I could, knowing that there’s a chance no one might come.
Speak To Me Chapter 66
Joe Bandit P.O.VAndrews eyes widened and he smiled widely. “Ben!” he shouted in fake delight and arms open wide in gesture. His smile then dropped, “What a pleasant surprise,” he sneered.“You should have never came back,” growled my father. “Joe, get my son and Annie out of here.”“Ben,” Mrs. Dawson got ready to argue. She shook her head, not wanting to leave.I looked at my father, not wanting to leave either. Is he stupid!? If he let his guard down, Andrew will kill him.My father looked at me, knowing I was ready to argue. “Go you guys. Now.”John held the gun to Andrew, and backed away slowly. Making sure Mrs. Dawson and I were at the door before him.Hoping John will listen, I look at him with a serious look, “Stay with dad.”He nodded his head, accepting my order. I then turned to Mrs. Daw
