Yolanda's standpoint
Four days Later
I stared at the massive hologram screen as I drank from my juice box. I had been studying them for days, slept less to make sure I get things right. Three particular footage had caught my attention and I was staring at it intensely. Something was off with it, something huge, a lead. Yet, I couldn't place my finger on it. I tapped my foot in thought as I studied it, hoping, praying that I do on time.
'Yolanda!' I flinched. What the fuck! I looked at the happy boy that won't let me be, in annoyance.
How the
Ted's standpoint I was trying to not panic as the FBI checked every inch of my company, rummaging and turning things upsidedown. I was patiently waiting for what would happen, why it was happening. My hands were in my pockets, they were checking the last room. The man in charge cleared his throat as he walked to me. 'There is obviously nothing here, we are sorry for disturbing you—' 'You walked into my property to humiliate me, that isn't going to go down that easy.' 'We are deeply sorry, sir, our informant gave us clear—' 'And who is that?!' They opened their mouth to talk
Ted's standpoint 'So, Braddock?' 'Oh. It was painful, but I was determined to get rid of both of them. So, I started gathering my allies secretly, plotted to dethrone my father. It was easy, Brad ended up killing him for me with hopes of taking over, but he was and is still a fool. Did he really think he would be chosen over me, the biological son? I took over but he was embittered. Brad left, don't know where he vanished to but when he came back, he came back for war. Ten times he has escape death, ten times he never stopped trying to kick me off my pedestal. All Brad wants is to make me feel pain, to end me but make me suffer first. He is impossible to get rid off, impossi
Dinah's standpoint I hugged my knees as I looked around my new home, a beautiful autumn colored room with sunset painting and white and orange furniture. I really loved the room. I had my own television and everything to make me comfortable which was suspicious, why am I being treated with care? I had been there for three days, I ate as though it was my house. I was still looking at the ceiling when the door opened and she walked in. I shifted back on the bed, she's finally here to kill me. 'Hello, sweetie, enjoying your stay here?' I glared at her suspiciously. 'Don't look at me like that, I am not here to hurt you.' 'Why are you treating
Cookie's standpoint 'Are you really letting her go?' Ted asked for the umpteenth time as the elevator took us up. We were heading to his second secret apartment. 'I am finding my allies in my enemies,' I repeated my answers. 'She can betray you,' 'She won't.' 'How are you so sure? I had to lie about Sylvester being the cause.' 'Because I'm confident.' I shrugged. He facepalmed himself. 'You are looking for death,' 'And death will never accept me,' I smirked. He gave me a blank stare,
Cookie's standpoint Guess where I am, just guess. A place close to Italy, one among the countries Ted hates a lot. That country was free from mafias because Ted made it so, he feels the country is too holy to have deadly criminals. Sure, there were other minor criminals but serious mafias weren't allowed there, and it made it the perfect hiding spot for Braddock. In other words, Greece. I was in Greece with a new identity. My name is Oriana Nilly Hemsworth, Ana for short. An American lady who moved from New Haven to Greece to start allover after a terrible relationship. A lady of twenty-nine that was obsess with gold and shiny things, a singer. It wasn't that hard for Ted to get my IDs and docum
Cookie's standpoint Two weeks later. I wasn't expecting the plan to work so fast, I knew it would be slow but I was missing everyone, missing Italy. I wondered what my family were doing, what Carolyn and dad were doing. She decided that she wanted to be in Italy to take care of Armando who she had bonded with. Valería would be too busy to take care of him, it was perfect. The only thing is that she was with dad and dad was already admiring her. I was scared he would try to use her naivety against her, she wasn't completely alright but sane enough to have a normal life. I had Armando spy on them and promised him that if he cou
Cookie's standpoint I looked around the wood colored bedroom, clutching my bag nervously with a fast beating heart. I was in his room, sitting on the cushion while he got me something to drink in the bar. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to be here. I miss Ted, I miss having him possessively yell at any man who touch or come close to me. Right now, I just needed him to keep me safe from this man. Don't be a coward, Cookie, remember you're doing this for him. You have to survive so you can return to him, your ring is waiting for you. I smiled at my subconscious advice, I had a ring waiting for me. The thought of having him go on his knee
Cookie's standpoint I stared out of the window of the car as I thought about my life with Braddock for the last three months. I felt like a whore sleeping with him, but I had to do it to avoid suspicion and earn his trust. I earned his trust more when I helped him solve some cases he was finding difficult, helped him planned ambushes on his other enemies. In my three months stay with him, he had gotten richer, more powerful and stronger with my advice. He already trusted me, never did a thing without telling me, never went to any secret meeting without me. The things I found out about him; the things he did for a living, the people betraying my father and Ted was so shocking I almost passed out.
