Between Us

Addie

"All I wanted was you." ALL I WANTED -PARAMORE

"IM NOT ASKING HIM VIN."

He sighed "Look I get you and father dearest have gotten to a place your comfortable but awkward but he's worked with the bratva before so he knows how they work Addlina." "Vin I can't." I got up with my coffee and threw it away loosing the energy to even drink it peacefully.

I already had to force myself off Liz bed this morning it was peaceful but it felt wrong I had to keep my distance this is far more bigger than we all could've ever imagined The Syndicate is far more into shit. Last night I had to go one of my fathers bar well now its mine but it's under my real name.

Knowing the truth of half of my parents history does help my life get any fucking easier.

I had to go and everyone their addresses me as Ms.Clark I had a meeting yesterday and this morning with the people for the inventory on the rum being delayed and moré business stuff a eighteen year old shouldn't have even been managing however the asshole already had everything for me to own by the time I was seventeen. He never mentioned Lucas he always said time would do it.

"Fuck you and fine."

We had set a meeting at three knowing him he'd probably wouldn't have eaten to have brunch with me.

"Ah my Moira how are you?" He had asked what I preferred him calling me I said Moira kept an identity separate was something I had to learn because of him. He wasn't the one that kidnapped us all those years ago he had found out the syndicate had me and he quickly made a deal with them and never telling me what he offered all I know is that I spent six months with them and the rest with him had people sacrifice to bring in fear in me however it just disgusted me which made him proud on my dark side he likes to call me "pequeña shadow." (Little shadow) Ironically I took the name and made it something in the underworld something he loves to credit himself for. "Dad." I nodded he smiled as they gave him his favorite brunch waffles with crepes with a strawberry milkshake just like me. "I see my pequeña shadow wants something." He chuckled over the past four years the moment he said I was free in exchanged he wanted at least once a month visit he said whatever I learned I could tell the world or keep it between us. I kept it between us I had come very different from when I came home I saw and learnt many things took me nearly a year to figure it out it wasn't going to be the same. That's when I found Vin and with his money he helped me create LPS he wanted to keep it anonymous so I let it be. Dad and Mom had been different with from when I came back so they didn't even ask where I had the money to open it up. Now Moira Clark is worth 2.5 Million daughter of Dante Clark also known as Queen of shadows in the underworld. This was important to me because I got to still be Addie and be Moira for what the people needed two identity's same person. Dante had helped with that maybe thats why I call him dad? I still haven't gotten use to it.

"Can you tell me what you and the bratva use to be partner for?" I said cutting my crepe.

"Really Mija esto?" I nodded he was unpredictable but everyone the staff had said he was a person very fond of me and apparently had watch me grow from afar. "Pixie it was a drug used in the early 90s. Shadow their powerful people you know i've never doubt your strength I won't ask what your up to just be careful and if you need help my men will serve you as well." I nodded and got my plate and gave it to Marta. We later spoke on business how everything was going as we walked in the garden with his dog Ru he's a doberman. I loved Ru from the moment I was stuck here years ago. When he brought up "You know who is getting the foundation?" I knew he was aware of how things went sideways I also know he was the one who contacted the Maroni for a favor to get me out earlier than expected a favor for a favor. "Um abuelo and abuela are persistent on Luca taking over."

I said nodding sadly I really wanted to take over but now i'm no so sure I can keep this up forever. Dividing myself had become harder than I expected having to be a different person that everyone needs. "I never told you this Addie poro if you can't take over the arts foundation you always have a job with me as a CEO." I smiled sadly My real name was Moira Addlina Clark sometimes I truly wonder if mom left dad for Dante what would've been my life? To the world Dante was no parent just a very rich man that owned Clark Enterprise. To the underworld he was anyone's dream land for their goods to be worked with him. I don't know exactly how mom cheated with him he never told me he said something are better left unsaid. If I were to be CEO the press would run wild and later expose everything and I'm not sure I want that out yet..

Funny how i've always been a daddy's girl I always went to work with him in the foundation the board knew me by the age of twelve I grew an interest and started learning about art and i'd paint and draw in the meetings for hours but when I came back dad would barely hold a conversation with me I no longer went to work with him. And here I am with my biological dad whose offering his company to me proudly. "Look i'm not telling you to give your identity as a Meadow you're a Meadow as much you are a Clark if you don't want that spot that's fine if you do we would comprise for college so when your ready you can be CEO." He said giving me two mini boxes. "Here for you and Luca just don't tell him." Since I came back once a year he had gifts for me and Luca and I'd always give it to Luca never telling him who it was just something I got at first Luca thought was creepy but he t grew to love it. "When will Luca finally know?" He sighed "Time will tell pequeña however you need to go if you're gonna go meet them." I laughed "Alright you old man thank you."

"Pixie that's the clue." He raises his brow. "Pixie as like the drug from the 90s?" I nodded in agreement "He said Pixie but seemed tense when he told me and when I mentioned the bratva so something must've happened in that year." He quickly started typing looking for the information. "Found it apparently this Pixie holy shit." Leaning towards the computer I read what it was saying. Pixie had killed many people for being an unstable substance and apparently it was involvement to the plane crash in the 93s. Bratva had murder.. Wait is that mom? I stepped back. That's mom that's absolutely my mother.. "Shit Addie your mother?" It said she had died that doesn't make any sense.. Could it be mom's twin? Mom always said she had a twin and died at a young age they were identical..
It doesn't make sense how the murder of the women who likes my mother died in 2005.. The year I was born.

"So what this pixie was related to possibly my mothers twin death?" Rubbing my face at this question there was two days before the mission and the last thing I needed was a distraction on a murder case. Liz voicemail had indicated what all of us had suspected Lucas is putting his nose in things that aren't his business but he seems so down. Looking down at two mini boxes he gave me I opened it.. It was a charm.. A necklace a beautiful gold and silver one it a nice pendant that said "In all due time." Shaking my head with his saying with time.
