He watched Amelia as she ran out, chasing after Kelvin. There was a pang in his heart. Jealousy, but he suppressed it, he had actually expected his, he felt a little bit bad - for Amelia.A phone call broke his line of thought, it was his private number so it must be something urgent, he picked up the call."Boss, Kruger had been shot, there's an attack at the club it's the Spanish and I believe they joined forces with Fred and his men.Shawn was standing next to him and from the look on his face, he had overheard the conversation, Blake was also at his side in the next minute."Kruger had been shot, there's an attack, their currently fighting at the club in Down Town. Shawn, you’ll stay with Amelia, make sure no harm comes to her, Blake come with me"They both nodded. Shawn walked away to find Amelia and Blake followed him out of the party which was now in full swing.They took the convertible, leaving the limousine behind, Xavier drove as Blake loaded the guns and checked on their a
(XAVIER) ***** “Retreat!” Matteo called out to his men and they obeyed, filling out of the club. Xavier let finally let Casso go, pointing a gun at him, just to make sure they didn’t try anything stupid. “Good choice” Matteo called as he entered into his car, “It’s always fun messing with you” Matteo had lied, just as he had suspected, he didn’t have anyone watching Amelia. It all happened in slow mode, Matteo had brought out his gun to shoot Xavier and Casso wasn’t fully in the car yet, his legs were still out, Xavier fired a clean shot to his leg and he knew even without seeing it that he didn’t miss. Matteo drove away. Then there was another shot. There was a man, up the stairs, one of Matteo Soldiers. It was headed for Blake who was right beside him, he immediately pushed Blake away, taking the shot to the side, this was probably a plan made by Matteo. He wasted no time and shot the man to the throat. The blood was already soaking his shirt. He had been shot. *************
CHAPTER FORTY NINE She knew nothing about stitching wounds, or taking out a bullet from a person’s skin, she didn’t know if it was something she could actually do. “The first aid box is in the bathroom at the side of the closest, bring it” she nodded running into the bathroom, it took her some time to find the box and she returned back with it, her hands shaking as she dropped the box, she almost felt like crying out, she was confused and she didn’t know what to do.“It’s okay Amelia, you can do it, just calm down”She didn’t know if she could actually be able to do it, she had never come this close to so much blood in her life, how the hell would she close it up?Her hands shook as she took the object that looked a like a scissors, she only knew about these from movies and that wasn’t enough, what if she made a mistake, what if she caused some sort of infection.“Your’e doing great, Amelia”Except from the sweat forming on his forehead, there was no other sign of discomfort or
It was different at work and Amelia was yet to see it as a good change, now when she walked past other workers, they straightened up, like she was the boss, she was addressed with respect also. But what she did enjoy was that the rumors were gone, Kristen had no one to tell her lies about her fake dates with Xavier, her clones now understood that it was better to steak to their jobs than hang around with her as their jobs could be on a high risk.Xavier walked around like he hadn’t been shot just a week ago, she was proud of her work with the stitches, she had feared that something would go wrong, that she didn’t do it the right way but it all turned out fine.She hadn’t seen Kelvin for the whole week, he was doing a very good job at avoiding her and she felt guilty to say it was better that way. Things hadn’t ended well with them and even if she wanted to apologize more, she understood the importance of giving him space. He needed it.She also had to give a shit load of explanation t
Her heart raced. What the hell was Mel doing, she walked to her, taking her hands and leading her hurriedly to a more private location some distance away.She hugged her, she had really missed her friend, but it felt very strange.“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked, finally examining her friend.No this wasn’t the Mel she knew. Mel was looking all tattered, with slightly busy hair and wrinkled clothes.“What is happening to you, are you alright?” “I lost Jacob… we had an argument, he hit me and he got drunk and he got an accident”Lies.Amelia could taste the lies, the question was ‘why the hell was Mel lying and why was she here?’, they made a plan and this could spoil it all.“Amelia I can’t anymore, we have to do what is right” Mel said, tears falling down her eyes but Amelia was just more confused.“What are you talking about?”“I’m saying that I want my husband back”It was like a dream, what the hell was Mel saying, what did she mean that she wanted her husband back?
CHAPTER FIFTY TWOMel gave a small sly smile, "After all, he wouldn't mind giving his wife such a sum, it didn't give you any problem, when you were getting it last time, so why would it now?"Mel was black mailing her, to hide her secret would come with a price and what was worse was that it was once both their secrets.Amelia always knew that there would be a Million and One issues due to all the lies she had told, she knew issues would rise sooner or later but what she never ever expected was that Mel would be the first one to bring all those issues."I will give the money to you, were do we meet?"Amelia said, her voice wiped clear of emotion, something bitter rising in her throat - the taste of betrayal."I'll be giving you an account to send it to me, don't worry, it doesn't carry my name"Mel passed a paper to her, containing the bank account, this was all planned out.Amelia turned around to walk away but Mel held her back."Nothing later than 6pm in the evening by the morrow"
"How do you know?""Simple. I predict the future. So now you have admitted to my awesomeness, what is the issue, what's the cause of the long face?"She couldn't tell him here and she was glad that he understood the look in her eyes and said "maybe you could tell me on the way home?"She nodded, he opened the door for, her like an absolute gentleman and she entered before he rounded the car and entered too."Are you alright you look... Pale""I'm alright" she said taking a deep breath, she let the silence calm her nerves."I want to ask you for a favor, is pretty huge and..." She didn't know how to put it so she started again, "I need you to do me a huge favor...""I get it, its a favor and it's huge. So what is the favor?"She could see the concern in his eyes even if a smirk remained on his face."I need some money" She expected him to react but instead he looked unbothered. "About Two Million", she added, her heart beating, she hope he complied, that he wouldn't ask any questions,
Every night, it was either Xavier came back late, maybe at a time she was deep in sleep or he wouldn't cone home at all, he awoke early too and the only chance she had to actually see him was at the office and he was not always around. This was good right? At least he wasn't treating her as a slave or a whore, at least he gave her the respect she wanted, but now she wanted more. Once she had thought that this all she would ever need, all she would ever ask for but now she discovered that she wanted more, she wanted more than just his respect, she wanted love, she wanted him to be close, to hold her, she wanted to come back from work in the evening and talk to her husband about what happened at work, she wanted to go on dates- or at least go to places together with him, she wanted so much and everyday when Shawn rode her to work, it became more clearer that those thoughts were just wishful. It would never happen. She was married to a Mafia Leader who had to travel places, he had too muc
