What do you think Richie should do? Should he save Rachel by bringing ruining Alice’s and Jake’s? or should he let Rachel suffer in Aiden’s captivity?
I have been thinking about it for several minutes now. I never thought life will throw me in the middle of a crossroads. I just can’t figure out what to do, it’s almost like I am stuck in a position, where I have to make a life-and-death decision. Ruin Alice's life and save Rachel or let Rachel die and let Alice live peacefully. Either way, there is no guarantee that Aiden won’t take another step. I have thought of so many ways I can get out of this but no matter what I do, Aiden is a step ahead of me; he has eyes everywhere, and for that, I sent all my bodyguards including the maids home. No one is returning to work until I settle this.Pacing around the room, I groan In exhaustion. After so many thoughts, I couldn’t make a decision. Alice is like a sister to me, I can’t ruin her life, and Jake is just a little boy, he’s too young to be in such a situation. If I take him to Aiden he might end up living his life traumatized. Aiden will make him regret waking up every morning. This i
After Aiden told me where to take Alice and Jake. Andrew set up two tracking chips on each one of them. One of the chip is attached under Jake’s shoe and the other is inside Alice’s hair band. I deliberately put a tracking device on my watch so Aiden’s men can find it. I know that if I go there looking vulnerable, Aiden will get suspicious because he knows I will never come to him armless but if I put a tracking device and he finds it, he will be less suspicious. Andrew and his trusted team are in my house working on the plan, hopefully, everything will go as planned. He’s gonna track us down and send a bunch of officers there, though he wouldn’t do that immediately. Every action needs a perfect time. Aiden says he’s gonna send one of his men to take us to him so here we are standing near an uncompleted building. I’m not sure in what particular part of New York I am because I don’t recognize this place. It’s isolated and far away from town. My phone starts to ring and I just know it
~ RICHIE’S POV My hand scrubs over my face in annoyance once Rachel is out the door. I can't believe my attempt to make things better between us only made it worse. If I had just explained everything the minute she walked out of my office all this wouldn’t have happened. Anger burns hot in my chest as I recall how Papa called me at the wrong time. I wanted to go after Rachel and explain things to her but Papa distracted me, he just had to call me at that moment. And as usual, it’s about Ezra; Ezra ruins every fucking thing. His stupid behavior always starts when I’m trying to do something important With a groan, I lash out, punching the closest wall to me. The skin breaks and blood pours out of my knuckles, but I don't care. My heart is in more pain than my hand could ever be. Right now, I wish more than anything in this world that I could explain things to Rachel, I hate to know that she left me. This is the first time someone walked out of me like that and I don’t like it. As
I open my eyes, and with a single glance at her, I knew I chose the right thing. "I choose Rachel," I announce. Rachel’s swollen eyes locked in mine almost immediately as I spoke. I saw the pain in her eyes and I felt it. I saw how badly she is hurting and I felt it. She has a hint of shock on her face; I too am. I never thought I will be standing in a position whereby I have to choose between John and Rachel but more importantly, I never thought I will choose Rachel. I’m not even going to regret choosing her, I feel good that I did that. Rachel isn’t supposed to be here in the first place, she doesn’t deserve to go through any of this. All this is my fault and I’m not letting her suffer because of me. But at the same time, I am worried about John.A smile tear escapes Rachel’s eyes and I feel relieved; knowing that she gets it. I’m never letting her alone. My eyes still locked in hers, I felt a strange feeling; not the bad kind of strange but the good kind. It’s like a deep feeling
~RACHEL POV’S A soft moan escapes my lips as bright light pierces through my eyelids. I slowly blink my eyes open, the light nearly blinding as the last dregs of sleep weigh heavy in my mind. Slightly fatigued, I take in my surroundings. My eyes narrowed once I realize where I am; I’m in a hospital room. I turn to my left, hearing the beep of a heart monitor, I watch the zig-zag lines across the screen it makes me wonder how and when I came here. I can’t remember being here. Confused and slightly dazed, I look to my right and find Richie sleeping soundly close to my lap. His hand is on mine and he has a bandage wrapped around his chest. I lift my hand away from his and I gently rake my hand through his hair. I remember vividly, how he pushed me away and took the shot. I still can’t believe he did that, why would he risk his life to save mine?Taking my hand off his hair, Richie begins to open his eyes. He smiles at me as his blue eyes twinkle, and my name softly past his lips. "Rac
~ RICHIE’S POV One month later~My heart crumbles in pain every single time I recall how Rachel left and never turned to look at me, she just left and it hurts me to know that I deserve it, that I'm not worthy of her glance. I messed up big time and maybe I won’t be able to make it up to her or myself. That incident has always hunted me, I can never forget how is shot her, and now that I know she was Rachel’s mother I feel worse than before. If I can’t forget that incident how could Rachel? I feel really bad, I keep trying to figure out how I can make everything better but each time I do I realize that this isn’t a mistake; it’s a sin and that’s why sometimes, someday, I feel like a dog wanting to be out but afraid to walk around alone. I wish Rachel finds a way to forgive me. It’s been weeks, a whole month to say in full since the kidnap incident and well my break up with Rachel. I haven’t spoken to her since then, not that I don’t want to but she doesn’t give me the chance. Even w
~ RACHEL’S POV"Your mystery flower boy has done it," Rebecca says walking into the room"And what makes you think it’s a boy?" I ask sniffing the flowers. I love the smell of dahlias, so lovely and fruity; literally one of the reasons it’s my favorite flower. "It could be a girl you know," I say "Yeah, like a girl would send you flowers every day." She scoffs "You don’t know, maybe it’s a little girl that loves me so much and likes to send me flowers, unlike the best friend I have who never got me flowers," I say."My presence is way more important than a flower." She states. I wryly roll my eyes. Whenever we talk about the mysterious flower boy she always says that. "Whatever. So, Is the car ready?" I inquire. I am getting discharged today, I cannot be anymore happier. The past month has been nothing but a whole lot of stress and uncertainty. I just haven’t been comfortable around here and to be honest it’s not just because Richie is here or because the paparazzi have been on my
"Get up, get up, get up," Rebecca says pulling my arm and making me sit up. With a groan, I glare at her. This is the perfect time to miss the hospital, no one wakes me up this way."What do you want?" I groan slamming my head back on the pillow. "Come on, get up.""No," I say into the pillow. "Fine." She gives in and suddenly, she jumps into the bed and pulls me up to sit "I have good news.""What time is it?" I say rubbing my eyes. It seems a little dark to be morning. "Four am.""You’ve gotta be kidding me." I groan slamming back into the pillow."Come on, wake up this is important." She says With a sigh, I get up. I’m gonna kill Rebecca if this isn’t important "What? What is it?" I yawn."Take a guess." She says grinning "A guess? Girl, I thought you said it’s important.""It is now take a guess."I sigh. Seriously she wakes me up by four am and then asks me to take a guess? She’s gotta be kidding me."Take a guess." She repeats "You won a lottery or something?" I say the fi

~ RICHIE’S POVI wake up to the same throbbing headache I feel every day. I groan, turning around, I lay on my stomach with the pillow covering my head. I know I shouldn’t be taking too much alcohol every day but I have no choice, it’s the one thing in my life that makes me feel better, the only thing that makes me sleep at night. Turning around, I begin to drown myself in the blissful sleep I badly need but the sun shines through my window and lands its ray directly on my face forbidding me from getting that sleep. I turn away from the ray of sunshine and try to sleep but it just didn’t happen. I release a groan. I guess I need something heavy to get me to sleep. I sit up from bed and stretch my arms and as a yawn escapes my mouth, I already feel like I’m going to hate this day like I do every single day. I turn around and grab my leftover bottle of whiskey. Taking a sip out of it, I feel a wave of nausea wash over me. I try to hold it back but just like every morning it defeated
My heart is pounding as I try to figure out who has spoken. I look around and see Alexander walking down the aisle. My face twisted in a look of total bewilderment and confusion. But then, suddenly, softens when I see a familiar face behind him. My heart stops for a moment as my balance loosens making me step back a little. My brain stops functioning momentarily and I feel like I’m losing my mind.No, It can’t be possible, my eyes must be deceiving me. He is not who I think he is. I feel my heart racing at a sudden speed as they walk closer to me. I take a complete look at him. My eyes bulge and my heart rate speeds up. "Da-dd?" I mumble, my voice trembling with emotion.His eyes meet mine and I see sadness and concern in them. "Delilah." He calls me by my first name, his voice filled with emotion."Ezra," Richie says, his voice filled with a profound weight. The sound reverberates in my mind, and I can sense the tension in the air. Suddenly, Papa's voice booms through the chaos, excl
~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie We’re getting married today and it feels so surreal. I never thought I’d be this lucky, but here we are, starting the rest of our lives together. It’s crazy how love works, isn't it? You were never the man of my dreams, yet my heart knew you were, all along.I find joy being with you. You’re where my heart belongs, my soul lies and without you, I’m incomplete. I love you so much. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle to become your wife. I wish I had the best words for you but unfortunately, all the best writers have already claimed them, but that’s okay because if our story was a novel, you’d be my favorite character. I love you and I will always will. ~ Love Rach.After writing the letter, I fold it and put it inside an envelope. I've been meaning to write something to Richie for a long time to express my deepest feelings to him. I'm so glad that I finally took the time to put my thoughts on paper and tell him
~ PAPA’S POVI push the door open and hear the familiar creak before shutting it behind me. The darkness of the room engulfs me, so I make my way forward and fumble for the light switch. Finally finding it, I flip it on and the first person I see is the man tied to a chair."Hello, old friend. [Ciao, vecchio amico.]" I say walking toward the table. I take my taser and check if it’s fully charged, once confirmed. I walk over to him, pull a chair, and sit in front of him.Releasing a deep breath I see how he’s sleeping peacefully as if nothing matters anymore. It’s almost like the world fades away around him and he worries. I hate to see him at peace, at least not when his daughter's life is about to crumble into pieces. It’s so not fair how is he sleeping peacefully on this uncomfortable chair while I can not sleep on the most comfortable bed ever. Life should not be this unfair, at least not to me. I am the Mafia King, I get whatever I want from whoever I want.I look between him and

I wake up to a sharp and intense pain in my stomach that makes me curl up in a ball. I groan feeling the pain getting worse. I release a heavy breath holding onto my stomach hoping the pain will go away but it doesn’t. Groaning, I turn around and I feel my stomach crumple painfully. My eyes shoot open and I immediately realize what it means. It’s that time of the month. "Oh shit!" I screech taking the covers off. I quickly grab my pantie, towel, and toiletries from the mini wardrobe before I head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I locked the bathroom door so Richie wouldn’t get in, not that he’s done that before but I don’t want to take a risk. I so much hate this time of the month, I mean the whole deal about it is so stressful and exhausting. Not to mention, the annoying painful cramps, mood swings, flow, overflow, and worse, the stain. I just hate it, it’s too much to handle. I sometimes wish there was a way to make it easier, but I know that it's just something I have to

~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie,I never thought I will feel anything for you other than hate. I thought my hatred for you will spread throughout my body and that I will only get joy when I see you in pain but now I know that’s just a phase. I cannot see you in any kind of suffering without my heart burning. You mean so much to me. You’re my heart, my soul, and everything that makes me happy. With you around, everything seems to be perfect even the worst things. I just want to let you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me but words keep failing me as I try to do that. You are the love of my entire existence, you made me realize I have more than just one purpose, and you've shown me more love than I ever could have imagined. You've filled every part of my heart and soul with your love, and I'm so grateful for every moment we spend together.From the bottom of my heart, Richie. I say that no matter what happens, what changes, I will always love you and I will always be there
