I rolled over in my bed. The cloud like comforter and pillows that Jasper had spent a fortune on were so worth the money. I never wanted to get up. Every day it takes me an hour to actually leave the coziness of this bed.

It’s freezing in my apartment, and all I’m wearing is a tshirt so I grab one of Adam’s hoodies he’d left here and throw it on. I go to the living room and quickly make a fire then head to the kitchen for my morning coffee.

I never used to drink coffee. I didn’t like the taste of it then Jasper started getting all these fancy lattes and cappuccinos and then I was hooked. He had one of these coffee makers at his house that did everything. They’d make espressos or frappes.. anything you wanted. I ended up taking his when I moved out. I’m sure he noticed it was gone because he used it every morning but he never said a word. Not even when he saw it in my apartment.

But I loved the thing and couldn’t do without it now.

I started some toast and threw my crazed h

  • The Mafia’s Regret   Chapter 149

    Elijah I was pacing back and forth in the living room at my dads house. I couldn’t sit still… waiting for the text message from Proctor. He was hiding at her house. Everyone was in place now. The plan completely underway. He would text me when she got there. I knew it would take a minute .. she’d say goodbye and have to make sure she didn’t run off from Joanne and Aimee too suddenly. I hope they aren’t too suspicious but fuck I would be. We threw this lie about a elaborate joke we were doing at the last minute. We had to though… we couldn’t tell them beforehand they might’ve said something…. And I knew it would take a minute for them to get out of the driveway but fuck… this is taking forever. I wanted to text Proctor but I was supposed to wait. Caleb walked in then. “Well?” I said “She’s just left a minute or two ago. Give it a second.” He said. I nodded. But my fucking nerves were beyond help. I poured a drink of scotch from my dads liquor table. I could tell Caleb was besi

    Emery What the hell is he even talking about? I had to get out of this car. I looked over .. seeing how fast we were speeding down the road. Even if I could get the door open.. I couldn’t jump. I’d get way to hurt if I did. But I had to do something. Maybe I could attack him… run him off the road from here. “So what is it exactly that you expect to gain from all of this? What good is it going to get you?” I asked him. He smiled into the mirror. At that moment he hit a curve and I was thrown across the backseat .. my head pounding against the window. Holy shit … my vision blurred. I was gonna have another concussion. “It’s simple really. Elijah will be so broken over the pain of losing you that he will never be fit or able to run a mafia gang. The boys will be beside themselves and they will follow Elijah out. Frank never wanted to be leader.. So the title will be turned over to me.”He said. So he was willing to go to all this trouble over the title? To be over the gang?? “Thin

    Emery. I knew I needed to keep him talking. I remembered that much from my training. I wished I had of had time to freshen up on my skills before this. But there had been too many things to do. Too much had gone on. I’d have to make do with the skills I had now. “What do you mean?” I asked him. “Haven’t you figured it out yet?” Norman asked me. But I played dumb. “Figured what out?” He laughed then. “Come on Emery. You’re not stupid. Use your head.” He said. “Okay… so .. it was you?” I asked. I noticed he had sped up. He was driving much faster than he had been. And on this tiny ass little back road. That would soon turn to gravel. “That is a massive oversimplification if I’ve ever seen one.” He told me. “Okay.. it was you that blew up my house?” I asked. “Yes. I did.” He answered. Not the least bit of guilt in his answer. No remorse to be found.“What else?” I asked him. He hit a pot hole and the car bounded around and skidded. The road was getting bumpier and bumpier.

    EmeryThe plan was underway. I hoped this worked. Because I have now decided I never want to do this again. I hadn’t even thought about it during my wedding. I wanted to give myself wonderful amazing memories. So I’d put it out of my mind completely. I pretended that it was a normal night full of festivities. And that I wasn’t offering myself up on a silver platter at the end of it. We still hadn’t told anyone else. The only people that knew were the eight of us and Vincent. We hadn’t told Martha or Frank or Norman. We even had to lie to poor Aimee and Joanne. We told them we were playing an elaborate joke on Oliver and Frankie. It wasn’t too far fetched. We would do something like that. But we had to make them swear on their lives they wouldn’t tell a soul. Not one single person. That’s why we waited until right before the announcement to even tell them the lie. Now Layla’s job is to keep them occupied for a while why we did this.She took them home to her house. I hope they d

    Vivian As much as I dreaded coming here tonight.. and I did dread it. I mean these people all hated me. And who could blame them? This was totally out of my comfort zone. I had talked Adam into coming with me last minute. Elijah didn’t like that much but I felt like a loser coming by myself. But I got it. Adam was in Jasper's gang. Albeit barely anymore. Since he wasn’t necessarily driving me around and being my bodyguard now he’d gone back to his old job he did before. He was a chef at one of the really nice restaurants in the city. The nice thing about that was it wasn’t gang owned. He made really good money and he was very sought after. I felt like he was maybe trying to slowly remove himself from the Marchetti’s. And now.. I’d be happy if he could. No one here talked to me. No one knew who I was .. thank goodness… except for the people in the wedding. And I had successfully avoided them since I’d talked to Elijah earlier. But I had to admit .. the wedding was really beautif

    ElijahEmery opened her small piece of paper that she’d written her vows on and looked at me.. grinning. I was glad to get mine out of the way. Not because I didn’t mean them.. or didn’t want to say all that to her, I did. But I also was nervous that she wouldn’t like them.. or wouldn’t understand the depth of my words. But I saw it in her eyes. And I knew. She cleared her throat. Then began to read. “Dear Elijah… it may come as a shock to you that I’m not sure what to write. I am quite the talker after all…” she said. Everyone sniggered at that comment. “It wasn’t because I didn’t have things to say… it’s because I have everything to say. There’s so many things I want to tell you .. but I could never fit them on a piece of paper. So here is my promise. I promise to tell you everyday what you mean to me.. how much you mean to me .. and how much I love you. It will take from now… until the rest of our lives for me to be able to say it all. But we have the rest of our lives for m
