A/n: heeeeeeeeeey (: This chapter was difficult write, but I hope you like it :D and it also gives a sort of background story on Cams family.

Chapter 3

A fork in the road.

"Massie?" Cam asked waving his hand in front of her confounded looking expression and glazed over eyes.

"Mass... are you there?"Snapping his fingers, causing her to rapidly blink her eyes, and snap out of her daze.

"Oh, Cam it's you. I thought it was the man with the..." she said trailing off as soon as she saw Cam stiffen and look anxious. What did she see? Was it my father and one of his 'clients'? Cam thought.

"What man? What did you see, mass?"

"Oh, uh no one, just your um gardener guy" Massie lied looking toward the lavish garden, at the purple orchids avoiding Cams intense stare.

"Mmkay, want to come inside?" he said as he gestured to the door opening it for her, she nodded managing a small smile before walking into his huge estate.

He made his way towards the staircase, waiting for her to follow. But Massie was too captivated in the huge family portrait that occupied the wall to the left of the doorway above an antique looking table with fresh, red roses inside a crystal vase.

Smiling to himself Cam walked towards her, and hugged her from behind.

"You like our family portrait?"

Massie leaned onto his shoulder, looking up into his eyes she said

"You all look, so distressed, so pained. Why? How come your mother isn't in it as well?"

Sighing Cam replied, "We had that portrait done the day after her death."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. That must be so hard to look at every day, to be reminded of her death."

"It was for awhile," he looked at the portrait again, almost losing himself remembering that day and the real reasons why they really had it painted. He said in low voice. "But now, we just have to live with it"

With a sad smile she gave him a kiss on the cheek, they both had lost their mothers, Massie had just lost hers in a different way, to abandonment, when her mother left her father, she had also left Massie.

"I was uh wondering, Cam how come you've never invited me over to your house or never mentioned anything, about your family to me before today?"

"Massie, I love you. My family doesn't matter; they are completely irrelevant when I have you." He said not answering her question. Sighing Massie thought maybe one day, he will finally tell me, giving up she just asked,

"Cam, can we go up to your room?" then as she was yawning she said "I'm feeling very tired"

"Sure, follow me" he said leading her up the stairs, down a long corridor and into his room.

He sat down on his leather sofa in front of the fireplace, and Massie sat beside him placing her head on his chest. Wrapping his arms around her and caressing her back, just as her eyes were about to close he asked

"Mass, before you sleep could you, please tell me how your fight with your father, started?"

"Um... he asked me where I was and I..." yawning again, her eyes fluttered shut and she fell fast asleep.

Laughing at her tiredness, Cam gazed at the sleeping form of Massie. She was smiling in her sleep probably from a good dream and she looked absolutely breathtaking, her beauty was indescribable. He kissed her forehead, getting up he carried her to his huge king size bed, so gracefully that she didn't lift an eye. He took his top off, showing his impressive 6 pack abs and was about to get in the bed and lay down next to her. When his father walked in, wearing his signature pinstripe dark grey Armani suit and with a cold stare he asked,

"Cameron, may I see you in my office."

He nodded, and put his t-shirt back on and with one last glance at the sleeping Massie; he followed his father to the office. Antonio Fisher sat down on his black leather chair behind the dark brown wooden desk, looking at his son he asked,

"What have I told you about bringing people to our home Cameron?"

"Nobody is allowed, and strangers are forbidden" he replied monotonously.

"That's right and you choose tonight of all nights, to defy my one rule for you, when I was having an important meeting"

Not saying anything he looked at his shoes and the ground, although his father looked like a kind and gentle, young good looking Italian man, he was the opposite, being very intimidating and always losing his temper. He was very strong on rules and traditions, if you broke them you would be considered dead, if he didn't already kill you.

"And you know what else, you little girlfriend saw me" his blue eyes turning icy.

This got Cams attention, he looked up his eyes widening.

"What? How? What did she see? She never mentioned anything to me."

"Well, you know your pilot?"

"Yeah," Cam nodded eyebrows furrowing wondering what his pilot had to do with anything.

"He has been, spying on you and your girlfriend. A few allies of mine from the Gambino family, I had asked them to keep an eye on you, while you were in Paris. Saw him following you and Massie around."

"What? He has been working for us for years, has he always been a traitor? Is that why you never let him become Made Man?"

"No, he hasn't and I was just waiting for them right time to let him, but guess he grew tired, and betrayed us." He told his youngest son.

"Did you find out who he was working for?" Cam asked wondering why, his trusted pilot was spying on himself and Massie.

"Unfortunately not, he kept his mouth shut, but I got my revenge, he's gone now."

Cams eyebrow shot up so high, that they disappeared under his bangs, his eyes widened, "in our house? Dad, Massie was here, and you promised no more in the house. What if his spirit haunts us?"

His father laughed "Relax Cam; I got Harris to finish the job, Elsewhere." Sighing in relief Cam told his father,

"Dad, Massie would never tell anyone what she saw, especially since she didn't tell me,"

"For your sake, you better hope not, I wouldn't want to hurt someone you love so much"

That triggered Cams anger, his eyes grew cold and he threatened "if anyone harms a hair on her head I will, personally make sure they die a slow and painful, merciless death!"

His father merely chuckles and says "that, my boy is why, I am so insistent you rejoin our family Cam, you have the strive and determination of a killer, and will always"

"Dad I told you, I could never do this again, especially after what happened, with mum" he says sadly.

"Cam, how many times do I have to tell you it wasn't your fault, I was the one who gave the order. And if I had known anyone was in there I wouldn't have. It wasn't supposed to kill them, I didn't want to start a blood feud, it was only a threat, but we payed the price in losing your mother, the love of my life."

"Then why do I feel so guilty," Cam mumbled.

"As much as I hate to say this, but it's true, because in your heart Cameron you are a good guy, you will always feel guilty, for everything, even if it's not your fault."

Cam gave tight smile "thanks,"

Antonio smiled briefly and then said the thing he had really wanted to talk with Cam about,

"Cam you and Massie have to break up,"

"No way!" Cam automatically answered and walked out the door but his father stopped him, pulling him back inside.

"I wasn't planning on telling you this, but now I want you to know, I managed to get one thing out of your pilot before he left with Harris, he said an Agapeto lives"

Cam paled and in a whisper he squeaked out "Agapeto?" His father nodded,

"I called into some of my allies from the five families, he has only come in contact with members of the Genovese family, since I was the former underboss and they are our closest allies, he has left them various warnings, pointing to one thing revenge on us, but for some odd reason mostly you."

Cams, breathing became slow and he feels something he hasn't felt in a long time, fear.

His father continues, "He wants to avenge his parents, for what we did. Cam, that's why I asked you to break up with Massie, if you truly love her, you'll let her go and not let her get hurt or involved, like your mother."

"I can protect her, I'll never leave her side and I'll have a body guard follow her around."Cam suggested not willing to give up, the only girl he had ever loved, he loved Massie with all his heart.

Antonio smiles slightly and says "You've always been, so stubborn Cam, it's your greatest flaw, last time we got away with our lives by just mere luck, this time though we may not be as lucky. You've just got to make sure you can live with yourself, if something happens to Massie. Like we now have to live with, what happened with your mother"

With that his father walked to the door turning the knob, opening it and just before he leaving he says,

"Good night Cam, I hope you make the right decision"

Sighing Cam mutters "good night"
