Michael POV
It’s been three days since everything happened and finally Logan is being released from the hospital but Elisabeth has to stay a few more days. She will be released just a couple of days before Gabe’s wedding.
“How are you feeling love?” I ask Elisabeth kissing the top of her head
“Like I got shot”, she replies offering me a smile. At least this girl has a sense of humour.
Logan is sitting on his bed looking at me and I walk to him sitting next to him, I ask him if he is ready to go home but he just nods his head, I think he is having a tough time understanding why my dad did that, I tried to explain a thousand times that he knew what he was doing, and that he missed all the important organa son purpose. Logan still doesn’t want to talk about it, I understand. In the end of the day grew up around guns and violence but he didn’
Let me know what you think
Elisabeth POV I walk into the room where River is and I gasp at how beautiful she looks, she’s showing off her beautiful pregnant belly, almost full term and she is still rocking the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve ever seen. I shake my head trying to push away memories of last week’s event when I was wearing that wedding dress and Samuel raped me. I close my eyes tightly blocking those thoughts and focus on River and Olivia. There’s not many of us here but enough so have some fun and drink some alcohol free cocktails, after all if the bride can’t drink none of us can. And I can’t because of all the medication I am in. I help her get ready doing some final touches on her dress when we are told it is time for the bride to walk down the isle. Rive is extremely nervous and I try and give her some encouraging words but nothing really good comes out, after all I’ve never been married and I am in a unconve
Michael POV The wedding is being perfect, and the food is absolutely amazing, the fish course is divine, is a simple dish but tastes to perfection. As I take my last bite, Elisabeth stands up, excusing herself to go to the bathroom, I stand up at the same time, and I ask her if she would like me to escort her. She dismisses me and walks to the bathroom, one of the security guards keeps an eye on her as she walks and follows her, Good. They are paying attention to what they should, and they are actually doing their job as they are being paid to do. The plates are cleared, and the staff starts to get the dessert buffet ready. God, how am I supposed to eat anything else? I’m almost exploding here. Logan sits on the chair next to me and gives my knee a small squeeze under the table; I put my hand on top of his and squeeze it. I stand up to get some f
Michael POV I paid barely to none attention to the ceremony. In the end I helped carry the coffin, Gabe was on the other side while mom and Amelia walked side by side with us, not behind it. We were always in the same level, I have to say more people than I expected showed up today, old business associates, old, friends and their sons and daughters. Everyone respected my dad, more people than I though possible, I honestly thought more people feared him than respected, but what do I know, apparently I didn’t know him that well. Once everything is done and over with we go eat, how do people expect us to keep our composure when we have the killer waiting for us? Logan and Elisabeth kept to themselves during the entire time, I’ve been sitting next to mom the whole time, from all of us she is the one that is struggling the most. She’s spent thirty years of her life with the man. She’s on her sixties now and
Michael POV The car ride was painfully quiet. Mel is sitting next to me and she keeps her eyes locked on the window, as if she is avoiding making eye contact with me, I honestly can’t blame her. I haven’t really been myself lately and I know she is starting to get annoyed with me. She was daddy’s little girl and she shared a connection with him that I will never understand. The car comes to a sudden stop and I look around, I recognise this place. I lean foreword and I can see mom is crying and Gabe is holding the steering wheel tightly. “Is this some kind of a joke?”, I ask and Mel opens the door leaving the car. I follow her and then Gabe and mom stand near us. We all stand outside the building and mom starts to cry, Gabe involves his arms around her and Mel cuddles up to me, most people thought we were twins because of the small age gap between us. “It’s been thirty years since I’ve been here”, mom says and I look at her. Sh
Michael POV I lean foreword a little while mom pulls the chair back up and Arya is now blinking her eyes, I know that if her hands were free she would be rubbing the back of her head. Bitch is messing with the wrong family. Gabe is leaning against the wall in the far end while Mel is messing around in the cupboards behind us. Mom slaps Arya’s face forcing her to look into her eyes while she told her how much she loved us. “You don’t know what love is, you’re a silicone witch”, Mom says and I can’t help but chuckle. Arya looks at me and smiles. “You, this is all on you, your father died because of you”, she says and mom slaps her face again before Gabe stands the chance to get closer to her. “You leave my son alone you bitch”, mom shouts at her. “Why did you want to kill him?”, Gabe asks and she looks at him with her eyes shining. Gabe looks at me and I shrug my shoulders
Logan POV Elisabeth and I have been keeping to ourselves, I don’t want to interfere with the ceremony and Beth is feeling a little under the weather, after all her father got killed the same day. Although she had no emotional connection to the guy she still cried after he dies, it was her father after all. Mike has been with his family this entire time and he always looks deep in thought, I haven’t seen him shed a tear, in fact the only person I’ve seen crying was Olivia, while Gabe, Mike and Mel haven’t showed their emotions today. I don’t think that is healthy but who am I to say anything, they feel how they feel and one thing I know is that they are all messed up in some way or another. River is standing in the end of the room talking to some people and she gives me a small wave. I wave back and all of a sudden Mike stands up and walks towards us. “Hey, how are you feeling?”, I ask M
Michael POV “Are you sure you’re okay with this?” I ask Elisabeth as we walk into the private room in the back of the jewellery owned by Gabe. She offers me her hand, and I take it without hesitation. The manager takes us to a small closed room right at the back, it has perfect light and privacy, that’s exactly what I need. The room is elegant and well decorated, providing the privacy I need to choose this ring. He offers us coffee, and we kindly accept as he puts some cushioned displayers in front of me, all of them with wedding bands and engagement rings. How am I supposed to choose? I look at Elisabeth that is looking carefully at each one of them until her eyes stop and they shine. She offers me a smile, and she sees a thick gold band with a small, almost invisible diamond in the middle, her eyes shine, and I know what she’s thinking. “This is the one”, she says, and I smile at her, grabbing the ring with my left hand. “Are you sure?”. I
Michael POV After a long soak in the bath with me and Logan Elisabeth is having a nap all wrapped up around him, I kiss the top of her head and he smiles at me. He is reading the newspaper on his phone, I get out of bed and walk out of the room typing on my phone. I put my shoes on as I get ready to leave the house. I need to share the news with my family. I think this kind of good news will do them good. I will tell mom later, she is in a spiritual retreat somewhere, basically she is getting drunk and eating her weight in ice cream and carbs in a expensive hotel somewhere. You know what? Good for her. She needs to rest and she needs to grieve. Gabe and Mel are meeting me in my apartment, I don’t know why I still own an apartment, I am basically living with Logan and Elisabeth in Logan’s apartment, but we will have to move to somewhere bigger, we need more space with the twins and I will have m
