Sorry for the long wait. Soo much going on in my life right now. This chapter doesn't include Jason, Carly or the boys, but it does set the plans of revenge in motion. I hope you enjoy, and hopefully the next update won't take as long. Enjoy!!! =]
Elizabeth's heart pounded as she waited in the dark, dank alley. A single light connected to the roof cast a sort of spotlight on her, illuminating the area around her and nothing else. Sirens blazed behind her, startling her almost to the point of reneging on the entire thing. But her desire to get Jason back prioritized above everything. She nervously shifted from one foot to the other, checking her watch, wondering just where the hell he was.
He was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago, she thought. She had to get back to work before Epiphany found out and start to nag her about 'responsibilities' and 'work ethic.'
Relentless bitch. Footsteps behind her snapped her out of her thoughts, and she quickly turned around and gazed up in a pair of blue, emotionless eyes. If she wasn't so determined, she'd be scared shitless.
"I must say, Elizabeth, anxiousness becomes you." Jax said. When he received a call from her saying that she wanted revenge on Jason & Carly, he was all too willing to oblige. Still bitter from the divorce and getting caught with Kate, he wanted nothing more than to see Carly fall and fail, especially with Jason. The fact that she left him for that glorified mobster only made the idea of revenge that more sweeter. Truth be told, Jax would never understand Elizabeth's attraction to Jason, much less why she slept with him and lied about having his kid, but it was all irrelevant once they achieved the ultimate goal, and that was seeing Jason & Carly torn apart.
"It took you long enough to get here." Elizabeth's face was twisted into a pout. Jax was unmoved by her annoyance.
"Had business to take care of. So what exactly do you propose we do with our estranged loved ones?"
"Carly dies, Jason lives. Matter of fact, you can do whatever you want with the bitch, I just want Jason back. I'm sure a man of your stature, money and prospects wouldn't have a problem getting that done." Elizabeth said, her heart beating with excitement from the thoughts of her family coming back together.
Jax shook her head at Elizabeth's stupidity. He highly doubted when Jason lost Carly that he would automatically go back to Elizabeth.
No point in telling her that, though. She'll just learn the hard way. But still.. "What is with you women and this die-hard attraction to the mobsters? It never works out."
Elizabeth's eyes flashed with anger. "I don't believe you are in a position to judge. If I recall correctly you married the trash of Port Charles."
"And I regret every second I spent with her, that's more than I can say about you." In truth, he was no better than her. He missed Carly dearly, and the boys. He missed waking up to her smiling face, making love and falling asleep in each other's arms and missed more than anything the family he had with him. His heart ached waking up in that big house all by himself. But he resented her choice in being with Jason. He seethed in anger a little more every time he thought about it.
"Fair enough," Jax said. "And what I will get in return for doing this?" He stepped a little closer to Elizabeth. He really didn't want her in that way, he just wanted to see if she would be really willing to do anything for her precious Jason.
Elizabeth wanted to vomit. After being with Jason, she wanted no one else, but she would crawl through glass naked and dying if it meant her hero Jason would reunite with her once more.
"You'll have the satisfaction of knowing Carly will never have that family she wants. And.." she slowly unbuttoned the top of her shirt, "Anything else you want." Deep down she recoiled in disgust. God, I hope he's not serious.
Jax nearly laughed in her face. It floored him how much she wanted Jason back. He put up his hand to stop her. "Please, I don't want Jason's sloppy seconds."
Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock and she took a step back. She was two seconds away from slapping the smile off of Jax's face, but decided against it. As much as she loathed him, he was all she had in assisting her in getting Jason back to her.
Then, I'll show him no one talks to me like that. Maybe I'll get Jason to blow his head off. Elizabeth smiled evilly and buttoned her shirt back up. "The wedding is in 3 months. You should have plenty of time to set things up."
"3 months.." Jax's eyes shut in pain, but he quickly recovered. That was more than enough time to make sure Carly never married Jason. "Fine. It was really nice talking business with you." Jax turned to leave.
"Wait." Elizabeth said. Jax stopped, his back turned to her. "Aren't you going to walk a lady home?"
Jax grinned, and turned his head. "I would, but then again you're not a lady are you?"
Elizabeth's eyes narrowed, but before she could reply Jax was gone, leaving her with her thoughts and the constant blaring of sirens. Elizabeth figured she would call the rest of the night off, giving her time to absorb the events that just took place. She took a picture from her pocket and looked at it.
Jake really does look like Jason. Elizabeth smiled before putting the picture back, having a renewed sense of twisted hope and determination.
You will be mine again, Jason. I love you, just like I know you love me and our son. You'll see.
And she merrily walked all the way home.
