Alfie POV
I couldn't wait to see my little nephews today. My bastard of a boss wouldn't even let me have the day off so I could see my little nephews. I really wanted to see them. It was a chance they wouldn't live since they were premature. But sincee they've been pretty okay for almost 8 hours, I figured I would make it.
I locked up the store in the mall and began to walk out to the parking lot. Once I made it outside I saw Mara out at my Audi. Damn.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"You and Eddison failed."
"We tried our best." I said moving her out-of-the-way.
"No. The email said to rob the bank. SUCESSFULLY."
"Well. Boo hoo. It didn't happen."
"Or else." I opened my door when she grabbed my wrist.
"Can I go see my family?"
"Ugh. If you don't I promised the girls would be hurt."
"No there not."
"You don't know what I'm capable of. Jerome told me about Patricia going into labor."
"Okay." I said shutting the door. She beat on my window. I rolled down my window. "I've been at work all day. Let me go."
"Fine. Just know I warned you." Mara threatened. I drove away. That bitch is crazy. She thinks Me and Eddie are going to rob the bank again. She's out of her fucking mind.
I first picked up some flowers for Patricia then I drove for about an hour untill I got to the hospital. I walked in and then figured out Patricia's room. 754. I walked in and saw everyone. Patricia was laying in her bed and everyone was sitting around eating dinner.
"Alfie! You made it!" Mrs. Rutter called for me. Amber smiled at me. It looked forced.
"Hey everybody. Where little man 1 and little man 2?" I asked.
"They are in the room. They went to sleep but they should be awake now." Eddie informed me. I nodded and sat the flowers on the table. I sat beside Amber.
"What's wrong love?" I asked her. She had her arms crossed and her eyebrows were knit.
"Nothing." She told me.
"I know somethings up with you. Just tell me Ambs." I said. She stood up and motioned for me to follow her to the hallway. We shut the door and walked down the corridor.
"Why the fuck did you steal from my family again? Alfie this is not cool! You promised me that you could be trusted! You said you wanted to provide for me and the baby! I didn't know that included stealing from me. You said you and Eddie were over that. Well what other lies have you told me?" She snapped then walked away. I ran after her and held her shoulders. "What do you want?" She asked.
"Amber Rose Rutter. Look me in my eye if and tell me you think I would purposely try to harm you! I fucking love you. If I didn't do you think I'd still care about you? I did it to keep you and Patricia safe." I argued back. She turned quickly.
"What do you mean keep us safe?" She asked me.
"Mara sent me an email saying If I didn't rob the bank, she would hurt you all. So me, Eddie and Mr. Rutter staged a fake robbery and pretended to be caught. But Mara talked to me tonight and said we really have to rob the bank for real or she would hurt Patricia's sons." I explained. Tears welled in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Alfie for trying to blame you." She cried into my chest. I rubbed her back. "What bad things did she say she would do to the twins?"
"She just threatened to. She didn't say what exactly."
"Oh my gosh, we have to warn Patricia." She gasped.
"I need to tell your dad and Eddie too. I would do it now but your mother is in there. I don't want to upset her." Amber nodded.
"Okay. But tell daddy as soon as possible."
"I will."
Mara POV
Alfie get's on my motherfucking nerves. He drove away while I was still talking to him. He obviously has forgotten what I can do. I'm powerful. Very powerful and not to be messed with. To bad the guys decided to trick me. Big mistake.
I have a plan. Their is this girl. She looks just like Patricia. Her names Piper. I'm paying her. By me I mean Jerome. She mostly wants what we wanted the guys to steal. Their going to steal it. Even if it means killing the girls.
I raise the stakes.
