"What do you mean?" Maggie questioned me with her arms still crossed. The past week has been excruciating but for her own sake, I had to stay away. My stepmother is a cruel and mean woman who has been forcing me to see her colleagues daughter for a business deal.

At first I told her fuck off because I have zero respect for her, but then my father came in and threatened to bring Maggie up to his "coworkers."

This sorry excuse of a father works with fucking gang members who wanna be in the fucking mafia. It's a wonder he hasn't been killed yet, that man has zero loyalty.

"Please don't be mad at me okay?" I took her hand and sat us down on two chairs right outside of Sammys room.

Maggie looked at me with furrowed brows. "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything." I shook my head. "But you've met my dad, and you know what a terrible man he is. Well, he left my mom a few years ago and remarried recently. His new wife, my technical step mom, is a big business lady." I opted not to tell her about the gang and mafia affiliations yet. Mainly because that would require a lot of explaining.

"That lady was your step mom!?" she asked with a horrified expression.

"Oh god no! That lady was my step moms colleagues daughter. He's friends with my dad and they do terrible things together. But he wants his daughter to marry into an Italian Mafia family."

Her brows furrowed before her face fell. "M-Mafia?" she blinked. "Y-You're-"

"Let me finish explaining, angel." I put my hand on her cheek and caressed her soft skin. "My dad is involved with those type of men. The only reason my brother and I are involved is because we're against my father. We're undercover right now."

"Undercover..." she looked confused.

"I work for the FBI angel."

"So you've been lying to me this whole time." she whispered.

"Look Maggie, you mean a lot to me and I couldn't imagine anything happening to you or your babies because of my careless father." I looked into her eyes. "Elisa, the woman my father and step mother are setting me up with, means fucking nothing to me. They're trying to get me to marry her so they will officially be inherited into her fathers stupid gang."

"T-Then why have you been lying to me?" she asked softly.

"My father threatened me." I admitted. "He brought a gun out and said if I didn't agree to be with Elisa then he'd hurt you. I couldn't- I couldn't let that happen."

"But you're here with me right now. Does that mean he's going to harm me and my kids now?" she looked through the window of the room at Sam who was laying down watching something on a tablet the hospital provided for him.

"No, that's why I finally contacted you back. I just waited it out and my father and his witch are out of town for a little bit. Elisa is clueless and god I needed to see you."

"So you're in the FBI?" she asked.

I looked around noticing that nobody was in the hallways. "Yes I run a team here in New York." I sighed knowing this is probably going to change her whole opinion of me. "We want my dad to be done for." I told her. "But there used to be no way for us to do that. Now, t-there's these guys and they've had a deal go wrong with my dad. They want him gone just as much as us."

"Jax, I-I don't know what to make of all of this." she dragged her hands down her face.

"I want you guys to come stay with me for a bit." I told her. "To my house so you can meet a few people."
