Chapter 4
Tara couldn't believe he had the nerve, but then aging she could she knew how jaxs was at the end of the day. He was never the one to give up on something he wanted. Running from him was never an option and then truth always comes out in the end.
"How are you?" Jaxs asked. He had a plan, but now he couldn't remember the plan. Tara always had that affect on him
"Is that really what you came out here to ask me" Tara stated; Tara wasn't the one to beat around the bush. She always got her point across and she didn't care who didn't like it. She grew up around plenty of tough men so she had to find a way to be just as tough. Jaxs always admired that quality in Tara. She always knew what she wanted and went for it. That's why the Drew thing was strange to him hiding in the shadows wasn't Taras style. She didn't care about what other would say she was fearless. What changed?
"No its not. I came to apologies" Jaxs said he had a lot to explain if she didn't already know the truth she would soon it wasn't something easy for him, but she at least deserved that.
"oh this should be good" Tara mocked rolling her eyes. She didn't even know why she listened anymore they both were trained to lie and they were good at it. It was a part of this life they live.
"You never make things easy for me" Jaxs commented but he deserved it and he knew it. He took the easy way out. He made his choices and she made hers. Standing next to her he regreted it all, but you cant take it back now.
"Why should I Jackson? You left you made your choice. You left me. I thought…. It doesn't matter anymore just say your meaningless apology and go" Tara refused to let him win by getting to her she had finally got to a point where she was happy and life was simple. He wasn't going to take that from her.
" I don't care if you don't believe me, but im sorry I left I should have never left. I had a choice but I chose the club over us and its my biggest regret. You deserve some one better, but I assume you already found him. The only way I could settle with the IRA is do something im going to regret for the rest of my life. I meet this girl Alexa little did I know who she was. Long story short im engaged to her and I wanted you too know. For some reason I believed I could get you back and get out of it, but I know you too well. This is something you could never forgive with everything else. I truly am sorry" Jaxs said walking away.
Tara couldn't believe her ears she thought he was going to beg her for forgiveness, but it was much worse he was going to marry some whore. How could he do this to me after everything? She wanted this bad dream to end. How could she even tell him about the girls now? She couldn't hide them and she wouldn't they were her pride and joy. That was tomorrows problem.
Gemma woke up the next morning to a bang on the door. She went to the door ready to tear into some idiot who had the fucking nerve. It was someone she never seen before a long blond haired girl in her early 20s tall and thin with a pink crop top and a black min skirt. She had a huge suite case and duffle bag.
"Hi you must be Gemma. Is Jaxs here he must of forgot to pick me up from the airport. Im his finance Alexa" She said. Alexa could tell she was confused
Gemma couldn't even process what this Alexa girl just said to her. How could he be engaged and she not know about it? What about Tara? Her Grandbabies? She loved those girls so much and now some tramp was going to ruin their chance at having a family. Over Gemma's dead body.
"Hey babe sorry over slept" Jaxs said and kissed Alexa on the cheek and grabbed her bags
"Ma this is Alexa my fiancé" Jaxs said
"Well go away for 2 years and you go get engaged on me" Gemma remarked she had to come up with a plan to fix this because at the end of the day it was her fault. Gemma convinced jaxs 2 years ago to volunteer to go to Ireland. She told him it would be 3 months tops and when he came back Tara would be running back to him. She begged John to let him come back once she noticed the Drew thing and found out about the babies, but his hands were tied. Fate was already in motion.
Jaxs knew his mother wouldn't care for Alexa she loved Tara like she was her daughter. The daughter Gemma always wanted, but never got the chance to have.
"I'm going to show her around" Jaxs remarked
Gemma went to kitchen to find her husband cooking breakfast like nothing was wrong, but she knew better there was something more to this. Something everyone had been hiding from her and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"You want to tell me why my son is engaged to some IRA whore" Gemma remarked
"Honey not now" John pleaded he didn't want to get into the heavy stuff this early
"Don't you honey me your going to tell me what this is about" Gemma warned she refused to be brushed off she was going to get answers.
"Gem, he had no choice. They wanted a life for a life little did we know before we sent him there. Alexa saved his life. She fell for him and convinced her father the big boss not to kill him. He had to agree to marry her. I never wanted this for him." John said trying to make his wife understand the delicate situation
"You act like he would ever stay with this girl the moment he sees Tara and those girls he will not do this Tara is the only girl he ever truly loves" Gemma retorted
"Dear he spoke to her last night and he told her he is engaged. I asked him if he wanted out, but he doesn't he has done enough harm to Tara his words. If he changes his mind fine, but as of right now no melting. This is what he wants" john remarked
He knew his wife better than that though she was the queen of melting it was in her blood. It was a big reason he was thankful they never had any daughters. He was going to try and keep her under control as best as he could.
