Evelyn Pov:
It had been months since I'd seen Deck. I missed him so much. All I wanted was to go back to our home in the country side and live out our lives. He promised me that after he had taken care of things with Owen, that we were done with this life. We had lived this way for so long. All the kills, the bullets , the blood…the straight look I kept on my face while putting a bullet in someones in the forehead. Its the way I was trained. Its the way we were trained. It was all we knew.
I got off the private plane, on the tar-mat at Lagarde airport. There was three black Range Rovers waiting for me. The one in the middle for myself, the other two, one in the front and one in the back were just in case someone wanted to appear out of no where. As we drove into Manhattan, all I could think about was seeing him again. The car drove deep into the upper east side where our town house was. We pulled up to grand town house that was five stories tall. Walking through the door, it was quiet. I walked through the foyer, with only hearing the sound of my Jimmy Choos on the marble floor. I walked up the stairs into the main living room. "Deck…."
He stood there waiting for me. I ran into his arms as they wrapped tightly around me. "You're here…." I breathed out
"Thanks to you, love." he crashed his lips down on mine.
"I would've done anything to get you out," I ached my brow at him "They made it easy…"
Deck smirked at me "They did…but you know they're going to come for me….or should I say us?" I looked up at him and looked away " I heard what you did to Letty….nicely done."
"She was cocky…." looking at him with a evil grin " somebody had to put her in her place."
"But…." he held up his finger at me as his tone changed.
"But?"
"It was stupid…." he remained calm, but I knew he was upset, there was a harshness in his voice. "They're going to come for us now…not just me."
"Well, we have the same problem now, don't we?" I stood up to him. We both stood there in silence, " I can't lose you again, Deckard….."
"You won't…" Deck looked me in the eyes. " I'm here now…" He was fixing to kiss me when his phone rang "Yeah…" He furrowed his brow, hung up and looked back up to me.
"What is it?"
"Toretto and his crew just landed at Lagarde." Deck looked from his phone up to me. I arched my brow at him as I smirked. "Looks like they want to continue our street fight."
He took a couple steps closer to me, I put my hands on him and rubbed his chest gently "You forget, darling, that we are on an entirely different level than they are…." I tilt my head slightly and seductively "How about we introduce them to… our level."
The following night, we were making a public, but discreet, appearance at the Metropolitan Club. It was one of there usual black tie swore`. Of course most of them were politicians and crude businessmen, with stuck up trophy wives, along with their multimillion dollar bank accounts; this type of occasion was their norm. I was getting ready in the bedroom, when I stepped out of the dressing room in a black long sleeve Balmain gown with a very high slit up my right leg and a deep V neckline. Adorned with a gold belt and black Christian Louboutin pumps. I came out putting on my diamond earrings. Looking in the mirror I quickly adjusted my messy updo,and touched up my makeup, than noticing Deck coming in a very sharp black Amani tux. I gave him a small smile as he walked up behind me. " You look absolutely gorgeous,love." he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I turned around as he wrapped his arms around my waist and mine around him.
"And you look devilishly handsome."
He held me closer than ever and rubbed his hand down cheek, "Lets go introduce them to our world, shall we." Deck held out his arms and as we left the bedroom. right before we left to walk out the door he put away his two .45's in his jacket as I stored small throwing knives around my opposite leg that was hidden by my dress. We could never be too prepared.
We rode to the Metropolitan Club in a black Rolls Royce Ghost, how suitable for two people who could become one. We entered in a side entrance to not cause a scene. Walking in, you could smell the luxury in the air. We walked to usual private area of the club. Everyone glanced at us up and down. "Evelyn?" my name was . I quickly turned " Evelyn I haven't seen you here in forever." It was Amanda Henley, a wife of the wealthy businessman, who owned an investment firm. Deckard looked at me, I nodded to let him know I'll be ok. Before walking off he handed me a glass of champagne and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I see you and 'oh so handsome' Deckard are still together."
"Yes, we've been keeping to ourselves lately." I said simply. I kept looking around, keeping an eye on other people and on Deck. I spotted him, he gave me wink. We always knew to keep eyes on each other when we did things like this.
"So how long are you in the city for?" she asked optimistically "we need have lunch and shopping day together."
The room was getting more and more crowded. "Oh uh… well I'm not sure how long Deckard and I will be in the city." I had lost sight of Deck, which means he had lost sight of me.
"Speaking of Deckard, how long have you two been together?" Amanda was still attempting to talk to me. I was too busy looking for Deck to pay attention to her.
"Yeah…." I heard a familiar voice walk up to Amanda and I " How long have you two been together?" I turned my attention away from the crowd and back to the conversation where Cody was standing with us in a tux. Which means if he was here, the rest of Torettos crew was here as well.
"Long enough…" I arched my brow at him. " I see you decided to get all dressed up and play with the big boys."
Amanda nudged me lightly " Evelyn, you never told me you had someone on the side." Amanda looked him up and down with tempted eyes. "Can you find me one?" I was ready to punch Amanda in face for insinuating that I would cheat on Deckard. "Better yet…" she eyed Cody as he so charmingly continued to smirk at me.
I was fuming. "Excuse me." I simply walked away. I could tell Cody followed me.
"You know, what I don't understand, is why he would leave you all by yourself in a place like this when there hundreds of men ready to pounce on a gorgeous woman, like yourself." I continued walking through the crowed trying to find Deck. Cody kept on walking behind me, very closely. He suddenly gripped my arm… hard, pulling me away in a secluded corner and backing me up into a wall "Why are you with him?"
"If you know whats good for you, you'll let go of me….. right now." I glared at him evilly.
"No." he said bluntly said "Why are you with him? Why are you with a man like that? A man that kills anything and anyone and not caring one bit."
I looked up at him, he still had a firm grip on my arm. I slowly reached into my dress for one of my knives. I took in a deep breath "Because I'm. Just. Like. Him." I quickly pulled out my knife slicing his arm open. He released me and I got away. I heard a gun shot. Deck. I picked up the train of dress and ran towards the gunfire.
Running into the room, "Evie!" I heard Deck call my name and pulling me down to the floor behind a table. "Are you ok?" he asked while panting.
I nodded "I'm fine." I responded while reaching into his jacket and pulling out one of his guns. while he was firing a shot gun he had picked up. Getting up I aim my gun and started shooting at everyone who was firing back us. I noticed all of Toretto's crew, including Letty, and she noticed me. She immediately started to fire at me. Her aim was pathetic. I finally took my window of opportunity and stood up and fired back, Deck was right there with me. I saw Toretto grab Letty and pull her out of the way of my gun fire. Suddenly all the gun fire came to halt after hearing Toretto yell.
Deckard and I stood up walking to the center of what was our barrier of mahogany tables and Torettos crew came out from behind theirs. "Finally had enough Toretto?" Deck said throwing down the shot gun. We both stood there glaring at them. Deck put his arm around my waist.
"Have you?" he stood there ready to fire at us again. "or are you ready to take it to the streets?"
Deck chuckled "You're on a whole other level now Toretto." he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. A dozen other men, that were all on our staff, stepped out with AKs in hand. I saw as his crew looked around in panic. Deck was about to give the word, when we heard police sirens.
I stopped Deck as he was about to signal " We don't need the local idiots on our tail." I said to him. He looked me in the eyes and nodded.
He gave the signal for all of them to back down. "Another time Toretto, you got lucky." Deckard possessively pulls me to walk aside him. As I turn, I see Cody glaring at me, I smirk as I see him still bleeding heavily from the slice I put in his arm.
When we had gotten back to our townhouse I was quick to change out of my dress, wash my face and brush my hair out of the updo it was in. I was sitting at the marble vanity in my silk robe, I held my left arm as I lifted up the sleeve, my entire forearm was starting to turn black and purple. I hear the door open, looking up I see Deckard walking in with his tux all undone. His jacket is off and he only had his white shirt, that was un buttoned and pants on. He came up behind me and kissed me on the cheek. He kept his face close to neck as I stood and turned around. "Mmm….I've missed you love."
I wrapped my arms around him "I've missed you too…" he crushed his lips down on mine. He picked me up and straddled me around his waist. He placed me on the marble counter in the bathroom. He started to rubbed his hands on shoulders, making my robe fall off, baring my naked top half. He went to lift my arms above my head…..he noticed I winced when he went to my right forearm. He stopped and stepped back. "Whats that?" he looked down onto the black and purple bruise.
I was nervous. I didn't know how he would react "Its nothing… I …must've hit it, back at the club." I put my robe back over my shoulders, and walked back into the master bedroom.
Deckard followed me as he stared down at me,he knew I was lying.I started to walk away when he grabbed my arm from behind turning me around. Revealing a very distinct black and purple handprint bruise. He glared at me right in the eyes "Which one of them did it?" you could hear the vile tone in his voice.
I took in a deep breath "Deck, its nothing. I've had worst injuries, you know that." He should know that. After years of what we've done for a living, a basic bruise was nothing.
"Which…one?" he asked again in a very low tone.
"O'Conner….the young one." I looked at him " He got a hold of me when I lost sight of you."
"They're going to pay for this." he continued with his vile tone.
"I know that." I said to him "Thats why we're here, isn't?"
Deck paced and pace and finally grabbing one his knives and throwing it into the wall. "They're going to pay double for this!" he screamed with frustration. he came up to me holding me in his arms gently letting his finger fall down my face " No body hurts the one I love."
My eyes teared up a bit. "That bloody well goes for you too." I said as I held his face in my palms "I can't lose you again…"
He leaned his forehead against mine "You won't…" Deck picked me up again as I wrapped my legs around his waist and arms around his neck, my silk robe fell off of my shoulders and revealed me. He walked us over to the bed and laid me down. Removing his shirt he crawled on top and crashed his lips down on mine. Working our way to the top of the bed, my robe was completely off.
Underneath the sheets I relished in every movement and moan as Deckard entered me slowly. It had been months since we were together. I moaned loader as he thrusted faster. I never wanted him rubbed his hand up my thigh, working his hands against my hips making his thrust even harder. He reached his release as I followed right after. He collapsed on top of me, laying his head on my chest. We were both out of breath, Deck soon lift up on his elbows hovering above me,looking down at me. "I'll always return to you…I hope you know that." he brushed a piece of my hair out of my face.
I held his face in palms "I know…"
"I love you…" He kissed me passionately. We laid their entangled in each other for hours until we fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up in the king size bed alone. Getting out of bed I threw on my silk robe and walked down stairs. Walking down the stairs I saw Deckard on the phone and several people about, working on various things. "Deck?"
He hung up the phone and came over to me "Morning,love. Sleep well?" kissed me on the cheek.
"Who are all these people, I don't recognize half of them." I kept my arms crossed tight keeping my robe closed.
"They're part of my staff, and some are part Owens staff." he stood on a stair below me " We're keeping tabs on Toretto and anyone he gets in contact with."
I nodded "Very good…" I looked around and turned back around and went back to our bedroom. I showered, fixed my hair in a simple half up half down and put simple makeup on. I got dressed throwing on some grey Rag & Bone jeggings, an ivory long sleeve loose turtle neck, ( early spring in New York was still cold,) throwing on my Carolina Herrera fox fur collared knit sweater. Just before walking out of the dressing room, I grabbed my two 45.s, putting one in my holster underneath my sweater and one in my python patent leather Givenchy handbag. I walked down stairs getting plenty of looks from the staff that was now working for us.
As Deck started to walk up to me as he eyed everyone to get back to work. "You look beautiful as always," He gave me a quick passionate kiss on the lips "My I ask where you're off to?"
"Well I don't know how long we'll be in this dreadful place, and I need to run out and get a few things."
"At a time like this?" Deck arched his brow at me.
I gave him a smirk "I also need to do some social damage about last night. If I stay hidden to long, they'll get suspicious." He knew what I was talking about.
Deckard gently pulled me into another room off the foyer and wrapped his arms around me possessively "You know to be careful and watch your back…."
"Come on Deck, you know this five thousand dollar bag has more than just money in it." I grinned. " I have my phone, I'll call if I need you." I give him a kiss and wink and I walked out the door.
—
I was in and out of a few stores. For that one thing I really was doing, I didn't know how much longer we would be here. We could end up being here for months or leaving tonight. I walked down to the Arabelle Restaurant, walking in I was greeted by the hostess. " Good morning Ms….. how many?"
"I'm meeting a friend…."
"Oh…yes…she already here." she walked me back to table where I saw Amanda sitting.
She got and up and greeted me "Evelyn how are you?" She asked with 'concern'. "After you walked off, I never saw you again. Do know what happened last night with all that commotion and shooting?"
I smiled as we both sat down and ordered a mimosa "No I don't… I went to look for Deckard after we finished our conversation." She giggled at me "What?"
"Oh come on Evelyn." she said to me as she took a sip of her mimosa " You can't fool me…what happened with that hot blonde guy that came up to us."
I arched my brow at her "What exactly are you insinuating?"
"I don't blame you if Deckard is gone for long periods of time." She said smiling "you know damn well we all do it."
I was starting to get pissed. Who was she to accuse me of cheating on Deck? "Who is 'we' exactly?"
"You know…." she said explaining while waving her hand everywhere "Us rich housewives…..or trophy wife….which ever you prefer." she another sip of her drink. "I'll be right back, I have to use the restroom."
I leaned back in my chair. I could never get a word in with that bloody bitch. Leaning back I rubbed my temples with my hand than someone sat down in her chair. "Jesus Christ…..what the bloody hell do you want? Can't you see I'm in the middle of brunch…"
Cody sat there in Amanda's chair glaring at me. I saw that his arm was wrapped quit well, for I sliced hard and deep. "Yeah I can see you're really enjoying yourself."
"Haven't you had enough?" I leaned in questioning him "or did the amateur want to try again?" I smirk ever so evilly at him.
"I don't see the bad in you, like I see in him. I don't understand why you're on the wrong side with him?" He said determined
"I've always been on the wrong side…..or was that not in my profile." I glared at him "Now…get…out…you're ruining my brunch." He looked at me and finally got up and walked away. Again I leaned back and down my mimosa and order another one.
Amanda came back and sat down "Are you alright?…you look stressed."
I let out a deep sigh " Listen, I have a job, one that I am very very good at….and if you accuse me of cheating on my husband again, I will take my job and put it to good use….understand?" I glared right through her.
"Really, Evelyn?" She looked at me like I was crazy " What are you? Some sort of assassin?" She laughed it off as she took a sip of her drink.
I arched a brow at her, reached into my bag and cocked one of my .45s and laid it on the table and glared at her. All she did was stare. I looked at my phone checking the time "I have to go…" I got up and put my gun back into my bag. "I had lovely time Amanda…." I smirked at her " hope we can do this again soon." I walked away leaving her dumbfounded.
I was walking up Park Avenue,heading back to the townhouse, when I felt like someone was following me. I kept my aviators on,kept walking and acted like nothing was wrong. I quickly cut up 70th St. and continued to walk up Madison Avenue where all of the high end stores were. I walked normally and started to go in and out of shops, going down the line of Chloe and Tom Ford. I stopped suddenly… coming to the window of the Ralph Lauren baby store… Everything around me became non existent. Deckard and I had been together for five years, we told ourselves that we would never put a timeline on ourselves when we would settle down and have a family. We always said we would let fate decide on weather or not it was suppose to be, just like us. "Are we having an intimate moment there, Ms. Shaw?" I heard the brutal and disgusting voice of Hobbs over my shoulder.
I turn around to him and arched my brow at him "This isn't exactly your part of town, Hobbs. What are you doing up here?"
"I think I could get use to the lap of luxury, I'm up here, to of course, retrieve something very valuable."
I chuckled " I don't think Louboutins and Cartier suits you."
He stepped foreword me "You know exactly what I'm talking about woman….." he lowered hid voice " now where the fuck is it?"
I smirked back and grinned " Somewhere you will never know." He was about to do something when he was interrupted.
"Mrs. Shaw!" I heard my formal name being called " Mrs. Shaw! I haven't seen you in ages." It was Frank, the store manager of Celine. He walked up to me, greeting me with a kiss on the cheek as I returned the greeting " You have to come check out the new collection!"
"You know, I think I will." I smiled ever so sarcastically at him, because I knew it pissed off Hobbs. I cocked my head to Hobbs "Have a good day Mr Hobbs."
I spent the afternoon in the Celine shop, spending about ten thousand. I text Deckard and he sent a car for me. I knew Hobbs and his men, and even Torettos crew was around somewhere. The black Rolls Royce pulled up and the driver got out, taking all of my shopping bags and putting them into the trunk, he than came back into the store and escorted me, opening the door to car for me. I didn't need a babysitter, but I knew he was doing this because Deckard told him to.
I arrived back at the townhouse. Everyone still wondering around the house,doing what they were told. I walked up the stairs where no else was aloud, to the main living area of the house. I sat down on the couch and let out a deep sigh. "Everything alright babe?" I turned to see Deckard walking down the stairs. He came over and sat next to me and gave a quick kiss on the lips.
"Yeah I'm fine…" I looked away " I'll just be happy when this is all over, and we can go home."
He brushed a piece of my hair behind my ear "Me too love…me too." He leaned in and started kissing me deeply.
I grinned as he pushed me down onto my back "Last night wasn't enough…huh?"
"Its never is, love." He smirked at me while continuing to kiss me, moving down my neck and further to my chest.
"Sir?"
Deckard suddenly sat up and got up off the couch " I told you to never come up here!" I sat up fixing myself, and turning to see Deck yelling at one of his men. "No one is aloud up in the main house, I thought I made that very clear!"
"You did sir…" he stood there at ease "But I thought you'd like to know…."
"It can wait!" Deck yelled as he walked back to me.
"It concerns Mrs Shaw….." Both Deck and I turned back towards him.
I arched my brow at him "What is your name?" I questioned him
"Jasper, Mrs." He kept his poise
"Very good,than…..what is it?" Deck stood at my shoulder.
He looked between both Deckard and I " We discovered someone was taking photographs of you,Mrs Shaw, while you were out this morning." He pulled out pictures from behind him and showed them to us.
I was pissed. I couldn't believe I let myself be photographed " Where is the photographer?"
"We caught him, he's down in the cellar."
I nodded and hastened down the stairs all the way to cellar. Deckard was right behind me. I walked through the door that was guarded. Walking into the dark room, I saw the photographer sitting in the chair with his hands tied behind his back. "You enjoy taking pictures of beautiful women from afar?"
He looked me up and down and smile "Well usually, I'm taking pictures of random shit happening on the streets…but you doll…are way more interesting." he perked his eyebrows at me.
Deck walked around the back of him with his gun in hand and hit him on the back of the head. He yelped in pain. "I'm sorry did I forget to introduce you to my husband?"
"Who hired you?" Deck walked around to face him, standing beside me in front of me.
He breathed heavily "I don't know who he is…. it was big brawler bald dude…..looked military."
I looked up to Deckard, than back to the photographer "You've been a big help." I said simply, grabbing Deckards gun, cocking it and shooting him in the head point blank. Blood spattered on the wall behind him. I turned and walked out without wincing.
I walked back up to the main house walking by everyone on the way up. They all new what I was capable of. Even though I didn't look threatening, they all knew. Getting back up to main house, I paced back and forth "I can't believe I let that brawling sack of shit get pictures of me."
Deckard came up to me " You're not the only one who's pissed here." the one thing I admired about him, was that he was always able to keep his cool.
I continued to pace "I'm I….I'm I losing my losing my touch?"
"After what you just did down stairs… I don't think so love." Deckard walked up and made me stop pacing cupping my face in his hands " We're going to end them….and this will be all over….I promise, we disappear after this." I quietly nod as he wrapped me ever so tightly in his arms. His phone suddenly rings. "Yeah…." he answered, soon after hanging up and look at me.
"Well what is it?" I asked
"Looks like there's race tonight… and guess who's headlining ?" I smirked at him. As I walked passed him to go get ready to race.
