Semua Bab The Mafia’s Regret: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Jasper I was beyond furious. Livid. I wanted to punch something .. or someone. Mostly — Elijah. That asshole. Who the fuck does he think he is??I keep having these horrible thoughts and visions of Emery and him in bed together. I really don’t know why. But I do know .. if she does end up with Elijah— I’ll have no one to blame but myself. I shouldn’t even care .. or be thinking about her. But here I am doing just that. The very thought of Elijah touching her makes my blood boil. We were just kids when we were thrown together, Emery and I. Our parents saw it as a way to unite the two groups.. to keep the peace. And that was drilled into my head every day growing up, as I’m sure it was drilled into hers as well. Even then .. as a young boy I didn’t understand how two rivals could put all their futures into the hands of their children. I also didn’t really understand what was expected of me. But my mother always told me just to play with her .. and be nice. But at eight years old

ElijahI let her cry .. I knew she needed to get it all out. But I felt like shit about it. And I felt like it was partially my fault. I always knew Emery had a lot of demons. She kept her feelings locked inside and refused to let anyone help her. She had probably never completely dealt with what happened to her parents. Her parents’ car accident happened on Emery’s sixteenth birthday. They’d been out of town on business but left early in order to make it back in time for her special day. And because they’d left early they were traveling alone without any guards with them. The wreck had killed them both. Of course the wreck could have happened anyway.. guards or not. But in our business, you can never be too sure. An accident is one thing. But someone causing an accident … is something else completely. I’m sure she felt some sort of guilt about that .. knowing they were coming home for her. It was very suspicious the way it happened. Everyone had suspected a rival mafia gang had

Jasper I just found out Emery was in the hospital. Why was I just finding this shit out?? Apparently the drugs she had ingested at the party were a fuck ton stronger than what anyone thought. I ran both my hands through my hair. How did this even happen?! Yes I put drugs in her drink. But that was so she would listen to me. She’s been acting so … not herself lately. But I didn’t put enough for that. Then a horrible thought came to my mind. Did Vivian put more drugs in the glass after me? I mean it had to be a huge amount to mess her up bad enough to be hospitalized. Nothing was making sense anymore. I noticed that she was at the party and I watched her for a moment. I saw that she was kicking back the wine. I was surprised she’d even shown up … but I wanted to talk to her .. and I needed her to listen, really listen to me. And .. I needed her to be agreeable. So I went to my office and grabbed the drugs I keep in the cabinet behind my desk. I went into the kitchen and poured a l

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. ~~~~~~~~~~Age 15 We were sitting around the campfire at the la

EmeryAfter two more movies and a game of cards .. the doctor finally filled out my discharge papers and the nurse came and told me I could go home. Thank goodness. I was so ready to get out of this place. I’d had enough excitement for a while. After everything that happened with Jasper earlier, I was afraid he would keep on trying to contact me. But thankfully he didn’t. At least not today. That is, unless he came back and Frankie and Oliver strangled him to death in the hallway. I was eager to get home so I could feel more relaxed but I wouldn’t have much time for resting. I was leaving tomorrow. I hadn’t even begun to pack. But I didn’t mind it .. I had a little anxiety about leaving.. especially now after everything that happened. But I knew it would be good for me. And I wasn’t about to pass up the chance for such an amazing adventure. As much as I was ready to leave the hospital, it felt like old times. I had enjoyed all the guys being here and watching out for me. I love
