#KARMA IS A BITCH#
ALEX'S POV
The call was unexpected.
But he reached out.
Jeffery Castillo. He asked to meet up and I did. It was going well until Ryan Rekes men neared in on us. I needed to inform Mythias, but how?
Leaving information behind for Mythias I had to be a distraction. Faking a few bruises and falling unconscious gave time for Jeffery to run and for Ryan to run to my rescue.
Don't know what I would've done without you; I thought to myself at that moment while I was being dragged to the hospital.
Obviously they couldn't care less, I knew why Ryan did this. He wanted to meet Mythias.
So I ran. Ran to the last place anyone would think. Well, the last place the boys would think...
And now I sit on a comfy stool while Elaine painted my lips a dark red. She applied red Smokey eyes along with a little glitter and eye liner. I snatch the mascara from her and shoo her to get ready.
Ready for the Annual Mafia Ball.
Instead of some heels that would kill me by the end of the night, I opt for white laced-up sneakers. Not that anyone would notice since my red ball gown was floor-length with studs and glimmer on the chest and a personal touch of the red cape. (ALEX'S OUTFIT BELOW)
Why red you ask? It's because this Ball only consists of the best of the best, which meant dominant colours or you won't be taken seriously. The original colours are three; Black, Red or White.
All we have to do is choose wisely.
I gasp seeing Elaine and she does the same in return. I give her a quick hug complementing her beauty. She wore a red ball dress with shimmer and lace on the shoulder and chest. Her makeup was similar to mine but with Smokey brown eyes illuminating her grey eyes. I laugh as she ties her heeled sneakers. (OUTFIT BELOW).
We walk down the stairs of the mansion hand in hand but come to sudden halt.
There stood all the boys dressed just as highly as us. Covered in tailored suits; all black with white ties paired with our signature combat boots and expensive watches. Their cologne could be smelt from here which almost made me lose my senses. God, they look good. And he looked handsome as fuck!
"Mind telling us where you two are headed?" Buttercup asks in a low tone trying to look intimidating but was getting distracted. Of course he would, just look at ELAINE, what a beauty.
"You two are not going anywhere Until you both tell us what's going on." Mythias demands but I smirk as his eyes rake down my body giving me Goosebumps.
Everyone piles together down in the wide interior of the cellar.
Including Jake, Carter, Buttercup, Lester, Mythias, Elaine and I.
"Ok, now that we out of ear shot..." Jake speaks first when Mythias breaks him mid sentence.
"What do you mean by 'ear shot'?" Mythias asks calm although his jaw was clenched.
"Meaning we were bugged. For the past months we have been trying to find allies but out of fear each mafia has fallen under the control of one. Since they are not with you boss, I assume they have another rising... that is why we have to attend tonights event."
"To set things straight. In order. But what I would like to know is why Alex is being quiet. Perhaps rethinking your way out of here, has the great master plan of you and your FATHER worked of turning everyone including my men against me!?"
"If and when you're done whining about your so precious status being ruined by me; a worthless piece of shit and my pathetic excuse of a father I suggest you zip it for once and listen!" By now I could feel my cheeks heat and everyone stilled while Elaine pulled out everyone drinks which we all were in dire need of.
"Jace Blackwell said he killed your mother. But my theories of him lying were proven right when Jeffery Castillo reached out to me." I take a sip of my drink and take in everyone's sour expression.
"I needed to meet him in private and obviously you guys wouldn't have let me go and so when I did, him and I had a long chat. Turns out he is related to my father. In fact, they are half-siblings. Now, on that night Mythias' mother was killed instead of my father...Turns out karma is a bitch!"
