I didn't enroll back into collage to finish my last year of economic development but I'm okay with that it just wasn't right for me at this point in time but I plan on going back someday maybe, Sean has tried to convince me to at least take online classes saying that I was so close to graduating and I should finish while I can but I've lost the passion I once had for my field of study.
"Hey bestie were you at" comes Sean's voice from the front door. The day after I got here Sean and I spent the whole day getting to know each other and it turned out we had a lot in common, more then I thought we ever would. Sean was in and out of the foster care system like I was only he didn't have it as bad as me when he was first placed in the system at the age of nine. The families he lived with started to bully and belittle him once he got to a certain age and he was more open about his sexuality and being openly gay, at one point he was even kicked out of one of his foster homes for it. So once he aged out he packed up his stuff and moved here to Texas. "I'm in here babe" I call out. "Hey bitch soo I was thinking since it's your birthday tomorrow we should go to this new club and have a little fun. What do you say" "Umm I don't know babe I mean I've never been to a club sooo" I say with a shrug looking at him through the mirror I'm sitting in front of getting ready for work. "Come on please just one night of fun you deserve it after all you've been through because of that asshole" He's my best friend of course I told him and when I say I told him I mean I told him everything, every moment I lived in the hell I did, I shared with him every nightmarish detail over a bottle of vodka and a tub of mint chip ice cream. "Aggh fine" I groan dropping my shoulders knowing I'm most likely going to regret this. "Yaaaayyy girl we need to go shopping you need to look hot and get laid"his face lights up and I see the wheels turning in his head with the ideas of what he's going to dress me up in. "Oh my god I'm already regretting this" I whine with a groan. "We'll go tomorrow morning so we have time to get ready" Sean says laying on his side watching me apply my eyeliner "I mean so I have time to get you ready" Sean tilts his head watching me carfuly, making me a little nervous. "What" I ask lowering my eyeliner pencil from my eye. "Nothing girl damn, anyway I'll see you tomorrow morning, I left your coffee on the kitchen counter have a good day dear" he says blowing me a kiss while walking out of the room leaving me to my thoughts. It would be nice to finaly let loose and have some fun after all I have been working so hard ans it would be another step in gettin back to the girl I was before him. I've been at work for three hours when the front door opens and in walks a group of guys who take a seat at one of the booths in my section. "Hi welcome in can I start y'all off with something to drink or do you already know what you want" I ask the group as I take out my notepad and pen. "Damn sweetheart are you on the menu" a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes with a lip ring asks licking his lips. "No I'm not are you going to order or should I just go get the manager" I say trying to control my anxiety.My ears ring and my lungs burn as I struggle to blink, I remember the explosion and the feeling of extreme satisfaction I felt as I watched Mason’s body fall to the ground with a thud after putting a few rounds of lead bullets into his body.The fear that came after as the room started to shake from the power of the multiple explosions going off around me and the force on which I was dragged out of the room by masked men have me struggling to jump up as my flight of fight instincts try to kick in.Is Alex, okay?Did they all make it out alive?Will I die before I find out?Is Vlad, the brother I never knew I had alive? Did Raven or another family doctor save his life intime or did he bleed out before they could get him to a med team?“Glad to see your awake” I hear come from some dark shadowed corner of what I’m assuming is some sort of warehouse.“Glad to see your still alive” I croak sarcastically as I strain my vision to see if id mentally matched the voice correctly.“Not even the
I take three hits but keep going as I yell out orders to those who are close enough to hear me."We need to get you out of here boss" I begrudgingly say to Alexi as I pull him up checking him for injuries seeing only one wound to his right arm I pull him behind me but we're ambushed before we can even make it out and are surrounded by Ares’s men.Acting quickly and knowing that Sapphire was in one of the get away cars I made a risky last minute choice and ran through the gun fire with Alexi close behind me as we made a run for one of the waiting cars to make a fast get away.Once I lost the cars that were following me I called Gianna to check and see what the damage was and then checked with Boris who was again brought into the mix after he had swore he was going to leave the family to join Santiago/Lopez to help be a personal guard for my sister when she was there."We've got six dead, three wounded and one in critical condition" he says “The meeting place has changed” he tells me as
"Boss" he says as if I didn’t hear what he said, my mind goes back to the other day when I caught the tail end of a call she had made from the main house when I was able to have my tech guy tap into the main line, she had been talking to someone about the location of the safe house and when they were going to be moved there and now this newbie is here telling me that the family has been moved as if it was something I needed to know."Did you find there new location" I ask him as I take out my gun and slowly turn to look at him only to come face to face with a man I thought I left for dead many years ago.Carson Tanner a rookie in the black market who made his way up by selling women and children on the dark web for organ harvesting and other unsavory things that only made him shoot to the top of most mafias hit lists.“Its been awhile my old friend” I say as I put my gun away remembering that back in the day he wasn’t my enemy but my friend.“it has been good to me and from what I see
"I WANT HER FOUND NOW" that stupid bitch was just whore like her mother that I planned on using to my advantage when the time came but that bastard son of mine had to come forward and rivel my stop as the head of the Bratva.All this time I thought that my only worry was going to be that little bitch but Leo fucked it all up when he gave her to much freedom.I knew who she was the moment I actually got a good look at her. At first I thought I was seeing a fucking ghost a very dead one but then realized it wasn't her.Ivona and her little whore of a daughter have one thing in common and that's being able to make any man fall in love with her. Fuck I don't know who I hate more Ivona for wanting to or better said thinking she could just walk away from me or Sapphire for believing she could run away and turn her back on her duty to the Bratva, on her duty as my daughter to bring me back to my rightful place as the head of the family.When Ivona came to me and told me that she was pregnant
After getting back to my own room I sit by the window and wait for Asher or Ace to brief me on any news they might have. The others are also working on getting information but I’m finding it hard to get any further updates on the situation and I’ve been complete blocked out of being in the loop on the plan.Once Alexi knows Vlad is alive and with us it will put a grater risk on Sapphire because now that Vlad is the next in line and Sapphire as second he will come for him and possible use Sapphire as a tool to get in here and him out. Sapphire isn’t weak and she will go with what ever plan he tells her to knowing the her babies are here.An hour passes of me just watching out the window at the changing sky before there’s a knock on the door and Asher walks in with a black smudge covered face. My heart sinks at that moment and I worry for something has happened.The look he gives me is one I’ve never seen on his face before and I feel my heart sink to the pit of my stomach and then he s
The thud of Masons body hitting the floor is drown out seconds later by the loud bangs of explosions going off around the mansion filling the room with smoke and dust, clouding the air in the room making it hard to see, the sound of Sapphire calling out to me is nothing more than a whisper in the air as another explosion goes off somewhere close by knocking me forward with a thud ageist a hard surface from the force.A sharp pain following a crunch in my side makes me yell out in pain as the air leaves my lungs and my vision blurs with tears.The next thing I know I’m waking up on a soft bed in the safe house’s makeshift med bay surrounded by mom, Bell, Asher and aunt Raven.“What the hell happened” I crocked out regretting it the moment the words leave my mouth as I feel pain in my sides as I breath in a deep enough breath to put the effort into talking.“Try to be as still as possible Alex” Aunt Raven says “You broke two ribs on your left side and broke three on the left side along
