All Chapters of Illegal Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Carter and I had exited the room and we followed the voice of Carlos into an office. When we walked in, we saw Carlos in Talon’s face screaming. Yet I wasn’t watching him, I was watching Talon. He was sitting in a chair behind a desk, his arms folded across his chest and he was solemn. He didn’t react to all the yelling as if It were boring him. A man who keeps his composure I find attractive. We stood there listening to them. “You had no right to pull all my men out. I made you millions by doing what I do!” Carlos was screaming and continued until Talon raised his hand silencing him. It went quiet, they just stared down and Carlos finally backed up and took a breath. “Those are my men, not yours. You abused your power. A power that not only got my niece involved but your damn wife that you mistreated. It’s sad to say but you will never be the man your father was. That’s sad considering he was a piece of sh*t.” I’ve never seen him so mad, he was red and shaking. Carlos raised his hand

MatteoI was about to finally tell Nadia the truth, but unfortunately, I was interrupted. There were certain things I had to do in order to keep tabs on where she was at all times. Losing her really put my family in distress. My youngest sister was pregnant, my dad was back in the Cartel, my mom was depressed. Here I was wanting to be an artist, but I did what I had to in order to be a part of this. I became a cop. Never in my life did I think I would do that, but here I was and it was finally paying off, soon I could quit and be the artist I wanted to be. Nadia had gotten out of the car and I decided to text my fiancé to meet me at a bar. She has been here all along, by my side. My ride or die type of chick. She has done things I asked of her that I am not proud of, but sadly getting my sister was more important. We needed someone on the inside, and she was the perfect distraction. 

The ride home was quiet, we didn’t say a word. I think we were both so caught up in all the fun and it got carried away. Last thing I needed was to involve another guy in my mess. I looked at him as he was driving, his hands were tightly clutching the steering wheel. If I didn’t say anything now then it would make things worse, since I was in love with Carter.. “I’m sorry, I was out of line. I should have never kissed you.” I managed to whisper as I stared at his hands on the clutch. He shifted his weight on the seat, as if the car was closing in on him. “Nadia, you’re pregnant with another man’s baby. You have your baby’s father waiting for you to finally be ready. This is too much drama for me, quite frankly I won’t raise another man's kid. In your case two. Don’t take it to heart that I am not attracted to pregnant women.” I suddenly felt my heart drop and the tears came out again. I understand it being something that shouldn’t have happened but making me feel ugly and pathetic? I

We both turned to see Carter standing at the door and when I tell you I’ve never seen him look so hurt I mean it, even when we broke up. This was the last thing that I wanted. “Carter, wait.” He was heading for the door, I quickly looked at Talon, grabbed my shirt, and followed him out to the hall. “You know when you said you needed space. I understood that. But to find you shirtless with the man you said you were just friends with. That’s insulting. I keep allowing you to toss me in the trash whenever you feel like, but this is how I won’t be treated.” I had tears coming down from the embarrassment I felt. He was right, and I was making him look like a fool. “I am not going to give you the whole it just happened line. But I can’t deny that I’ve grown feelings for him. I love you Carter; I have for years. With him I feel safe, and secure.” He walked over to where there was only a foot b

Bently had told him what I was doing in small words, but it didn’t need big ones. We had parked in the parking lot of the park. I knew I was about to get an earful. As Bently ran off to the playground, Carter grabbed my hand and moved my hair away from my neck revealing the hicky I tried hard to hide. “You slept with him, didn’t you?” I felt ashamed that I got caught, but he wasn’t a stupid man. “Answer me Nadia.” I looked up to his eyes that were full of hurt and I nodded in disappointment. He removed his hands from me, before taking off for a walk. The thought that I just kept on hurting him and he kept coming back made me mad. I couldn’t control how I felt, and I had little self-control. He left for a long time, just trying to get himself together. I played with Bently for a few hours before we sat on the bench to talk. “Mom, can I ask you something?” I nodded at him. “We are away fr
