Rosalie’s POV
“How did it go, do you think he bought it?”
“No, Jeremy. I think he loves that girl. But I have a plan, I just need a few more days. I’ll get him back, Remy, I’ll have him crawling back to my bed in no time.” I responded to his question, smirking evilly.
I planned it all, I needed a way to get the Irish mob boss off my back, and that is why I came looking for him. I know that he is the only one that can save my life. Jeremy is Aiden’s best friend. I know that everyone thought I was in love with Aiden, even Aiden believed that I love home him.
But that’s a lie…
Yeah, you heard me. He was just one of my victims, just like Drake was. I was never going to elope with Aidan, he’s an Irish pig who can’t even last thirty minutes in bed. I only held on to him because he has access to all his father’s money. He is the next Irish crime boss, so he knows every detail to siphon money from his father’s account.
I would have stayed with Bradley, but I got tired of his endless naggings. When I fell in love with Brad, we planned to swindle Drake of a few million, he is an expert in deciphering codes and passwords, and he helped me break into Drake’s safe, we made away with his money, his gold, and his diamonds. And the best part of it all is that we got away with it, he never came after us, and he never sent the cops after us.
It was at that point that we realized that we could make a fortune from these mob bosses. With my beauty and Brad’s technical expertise, we can make a lot of money from these men and they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. They can’t go to the cops because they have a lot to hide, inviting the cops into their house is equivalent to inviting trouble for themselves.
We came up with a foolproof plan to better our lives, our plan was so perfect. First, we did a background check on every crime boss in the city, I got that list from Drake before I absconded. Then when we made away with his money, we spent a large part of it paying off snitches to spy on the toughest mob bosses and give us details. We gathered enough information on every crime lord and when we got everything we needed, we activated our plans and we went after the crime bosses one after the other.
We were so close to becoming billionaires, we could have gotten an early retirement, and we could have achieved great things together if only he had stayed faithful to me and just stuck to the plan. But he got distracted and he let his guard down, and we got played by the Italian Mafia boss, Diego. We had succeeded in swindling four different crime lords, but when we got to Diego’s House, Brad started screwing his young teenage fiancee and he stupidly spilled our plans to the bitch. Who would have ever thought that we would both be locked up in the cellar by Diego.
We remained in his cellar for months, and during that period, Diego had us tortured until we gave up everything we’d stolen from the other mob bosses. We lost everything we worked so hard to get and to make it all worse, Brad blamed me for not doing my job well. He never saw anything wrong with what he did, he claimed that I sold us out because I was jealous of his relationship with that bitch. He never believed that she had betrayed him, and even when we got out of Diego’s cellar, he still wouldn’t talk to me.
He tried getting back with Diego’s woman, but she kicked him out of her life, choosing to stay back with her man. Even after being rejected by her, he still refused to believe that he got played, he still blamed me for what happened, and even when I suggested that we continue our job from where we stopped he still wasn’t ready to move on. I couldn’t sit there and pamper his ego, I am broke and I need to start back from the scratch. If he thinks I would stay back and wait for him to realize his mistakes and come back to me, then he needs to think again.
He may be smart and handsome, but I can get someone way better than him. I just need to pick up the piece of my life and re-strategize. I left him to his misery and I went in search of a better partner that would be willing to continue this job with me, I need someone that knows his way around a computer. It was a hard target, and it seems impossible to get someone to replace him. I literary had to screw a bunch of guys just to get information. I went back to territories where I’m no longer welcomed. I risked my life by visiting some clubs that belong to guys that I’ve swindled before now. It’s a miracle that I didn’t lose my life in the process. I was just trying to steal the heart of a tech guy that works for a mob boss. And guess what?
I succeeded!
I was so lucky, I found someone far more better than him. His name is Jeremy and he is Aiden’s best friend. You probe his love for me, he suggested starting from his friend Aiden. The deal was to swindle Aiden’s father and then elope to a quiet little town and start our lives afresh. All he had to do is to introduce me to his friend, Aiden, then I took it up from there.
I found my way into his heart, and at the same time, I also built a relationship with his father, Danny. We were so close to getting over one billion dollars, I had no idea how the news got out that I was plotting to run off with Aiden. I was not told about their rules and regulations, I only know that he couldn’t marry me because he is Irish. I never planned to elope with him, the plan was to elope with Jeremy after getting the money from Aiden.
We succeeded in getting part of the money transferred to a foreign account, we were working on the second half of the money when Aiden and I were apprehended by his father and some of the decision-makers in their community. You can imagine my surprise when I got accused of treachery and mutiny and they sentenced us to death by hanging. It felt so weird, it was as if I was being paraded before a judge, and I felt so guilty for putting Aiden in this position. He kept promising me of his undying love, even when he was faced with certain death.
On the day of our execution, Jeremy came to my rescue, he found a way into that fortress and he broke me out of that hellhole. We could have saved Aiden if we wanted to, but we choose to leave him to his fate. Jeremy even added more pain to his injuries by telling him that we are together and that he has been played. He called out to me pathetically, begging me to have mercy on him. I couldn’t care less about his words, I don’t need him anymore, and even if I did, he won’t be alive to render any help to me or anyone else for that matter. I bade him farewell and I let Jeremy lead me out of that fucking house.
A few days after that, I read in the papers that Aiden was executed as scheduled. I thought I was going to have rest of mind, but his father refused to let me off so easily. I kept running for my life, but no matter where I run to, he still finds me there. I have no idea how he does it, I don’t even know why he is so hell-bent on finding me. He has no evidence against me, his son had stolen from him and not me. His son has paid for his crimes and yet he kept coming after me in anger.
Jeremy sneaked back to their territory, and that was when we discovered that Aiden wasn’t dead after all. He fed his dad with information about Jeremy and me, in return, he gets to keep his life. But that doesn’t mean that he got away with his crimes. He was still punished for his crimes, he was whipped and tortured for his treachery. And if he helps to get back their money, then his life would be spared and he will be welcomed back into the family and his position as heir would be given back to him. But that is only if he is able to find me and get back the money.
They purposely spread the news of his death to deceive me, but that’s just a lie. Jeremy found out from one of his sources that Aiden was never killed, he was whipped and tortured for his crimes. He is still trying to heal from his injuries, when he is strong enough, he will come for me and Jeremy. His father is just chasing me because he wants to look tough in front of his people, and he wants to make me believe that his son is truly dead. With the way he keeps coming after me, I would have fallen for his lies and tricks if Jeremy didn’t show me proof that Aiden was still alive.
The moment I saw that video, I knew I was as good as dead. Aiden’s anger is justifiable, he would never forgive his friend and I for tricking him and almost making him lose his life. There is no place on earth where I would be safe, there is no person in this world that can save me from his furious anger. I could only think of one person that can help me out of this, and that is Drake Osborne, a guy I’ve hurt as well.
I’m so doomed!
It seems like everywhere I turn to, there is a viper liking in the shadows, waiting to strike me dead. Funny enough, I don’t blame anyone for what is happening to me. It is my fault, I caused it all for myself, so I have to face the consequences of my actions. I know I hurt Drake, but that doesn’t mean that he will not help me out when I’m in danger. He has always had a soft spot for me, he would never let me die this way. All I have to do is to come up with a convincing sob story that no one can resist not even Drake.
I tried searching for him in his house but I was told he went back home to his family. Jeremy asked around and we got his location, but when we arrived at his location, I found out that things are no longer the same. Drake did not wait around for me as I expected, he has found himself a woman. And this lady is so special to him that he dragged her to the Alter and put a ring on her fucking finger. He never loved me as he loved her, he never treated me this way, he never looked at me like he looks at her. If I didn’t know better, I would have said that she used a love-binding spell on him. It hurts me to see him showering her with love and attention.
I wanted him back…
I want to feel his love, this time I want to experience the real kind of love with him. I never told Jeremy about my plans to get Drake to love me again, I kept him in the dark as we continued making plans to get Drake to help me. We couldn’t find a way to get Drake’s attention, we couldn’t find a way to get him to help. I would have given up on my plans, but then I met a guy who promised to help me if only I would help him distract Drake and keep him too busy to come after him. His name is Austin foster, and we have a plan…
