Elijah

I watched Jasper walk down the hospital corridor until he was out of sight. I had to hold on to the door frame not to run after the asshole and kill him right then.

That asshole had a lot of fucking nerve coming here after what he had done… trying to claim Emery.. as if she were an object that he wanted ownership of. He didn’t even care about her .. not really. It was all about the business arrangement.

I turned and looked at Emery who had got back into the hospital bed and was watching the movie again … as if nothing has happened.

I was proud of her … the way she’d stuck up for herself.. the way she had basically told Jasper to stick his engagement where the sun don’t shine.

She had shown her courage and perseverance today, and how strong she really was.

I was seeing more and more of the old Emery— the Emery I used to know .. before Jasper got his claws in her. Before her parents had died … just .. before.

  • The Mafia’s Regret   Chapter 147

    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

    Emery I couldn’t believe Elijah had asked Vivian to come to my wedding. Hell I should’ve just called up Jasper and asked him to come too. We could make it a whole family reunion up in here. I stomped back upstairs to my room and straight to the window, lighting a cigarette and smoking it. “Did you find him?” Layla asked. “Yup..” I said. I had gone down to see where Elijah had gone. But I got more than I bargained for. Bridge was next to me then looking at me worriedly. “What happened?” She asked. I told her and she frowned. “Why would he invite her?” She said. I looked behind me at the others .. making sure no one heard. Then I got out my phone and typed the message for her to read. ‘She knows his voice.’Bridges eyebrows shot up and she nodded in understanding. I mean I got it. Elijah would do any and everything under the sun and moon to protect me. And this was his reasoning. He wanted a leg up.. or a contention plan. A backup in case the plan didn’t work .. or a head st

    Elijah Seeing Emery in her wedding dress for the first time just about blew me away. I’d never ever in my life seen anything so breathtakingly beautiful. She looked like some sort of fairy snow princess. And I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t take my eyes off her. Every single person here had their eyes glued to her. We’d done things backwards… deciding to take pictures first. Well I don’t know if it’s backwards or not. Can’t say that I’ve been to tons of weddings. Anyway. She made we wait on her downstairs in the living room by myself. Her friend Aimee and I the only two there.. and she was only there to grab pictures. Emery looked every bit the princess walking down the stairs in her dress. She was floating. And I couldn’t breathe. Then I turned into the worlds biggest pussy and cried. But I didn’t care. I watched our entire lives together as she made her way towards me. From the time we were small kids, playing outside in the dirt .. starting school together. When me and the b
