The New Boss

CHAPTER 25: Showtime!

FRANKIE

I woke up this morning next to the sexiest man I have ever known, laying naked underneath the bed sheets, finally getting the rest he has been missing out on for a good while now.

I quietly made sure I did not wake him and took a shower, after having my beautiful morning sickness routine, then got dressed before making my way downstairs.

When I made it down, Markus and Helena were sitting at the table along with everybody else, laughing and having some breakfast.

"Good morning." Helena greeted me.

"Morning." I replied with a smile.

"Hungry?" She asked.

"Starving." I tell her while rubbing my tummy.

"He still sleeping?" She asks.

"Yeah. Which is good, he could use some." I tell her as I take my seat.

After making my plate and pouring myself some milk and coffee, I begin to eat and join in on whatever they were discussing. Most of it was of some funny and embarrassing moments that Markus remembered from years back with Raiden.

Once he finished and we all sat there, without anybody saying anything, I decided to ask about what the plans were going to be for today.

"Well, earlier this morning, one of my men had informed me the whereabouts of Vince and your cousin, so I was hoping Raiden, Markus as well as some of our guys, could come along and we try to take him out before he even realizes what has happened." Mr. O'Connell.

"What about his men though? I am sure that he has a lot surrounding the place." I mention.

"Yes, but my guy already had informed me about that and assured me there would be no complications." He tries to reassure me.

"No offense, but something about that doesn't seem right to me. Not saying that your guy is wrong but I feel like there is something missing. Just as Raiden has mentioned before about this Vince guy, he may be playing dumb at times and this is one of those by already being a step or two ahead." I state.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"Think about it. Between what Raiden has been staying about his character and actions and how no matter how childish they may seem, he still says to not underestimate the guy. Therefore with what your guy has informed you about how he has seen how his men are all set up and everything, what if Vince planned it that way? Have you and Raiden think that he is set up this one way when really, it's the complete opposite?! Almost like a diversion." I explained.

Everybody was a little shocked and became quiet.

"Shit." Markus remarked.

"That's a good point." Mr. O'Connell said. "So what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "We should probably still stay here and either wait things out until he comes for us or we could go after him first. Although something tells me we won't be waiting much longer."

Moments later, Raiden came downstairs and  greeted us all.

The moment he sat down and poured some coffee, O'Connell had complimented me.

"You better keep this girl here. She's very smart." He tells Raiden.

"Thanks." Raiden replied.

Once he was more awake, I told him what I had said and could not agree with me more.

"So what do you think we should do?" Raiden asks before taking a few bites of food.

"I honestly have been thinking about all of this in the past few days. Mostly because I just want this all to be over with so that we can enjoy our future together." I tell them while looking down and rubbing my belly and twirling my ring as well around my finger.

Raiden notices and looks back at me with a smile.

"You're the new boss." He winks at me.

"Yes well, you should never upset a pregnant woman." I replied with a smirk.

"Hell yes!" Helena states.

Once we finished up with breakfast and figuring out what to do, we all got ourselves ready.

O'Connell had gone out in the backyard along with a few of his men to retrieve some weapons he has had hidden in the locked shed and while they were out there, Raiden took my hand and pulled me aside.

"Baby, I want...." He began to talk but I already knew what he was going to tell me and I was not having it.

"I know what you're gonna say and the answer is no. I am going. It will be worse if I stay behind and worry about you. Besides, I have waited a long while for the moment when I can finish Chester off." I tell him.

"But Frankie..." He starts to object again, so I stop him with my hand on his lips.

"That is the final decision. I will promise you that I will be careful and I swear that if things look too dangerous then, I will leave." I tell him with finality.

I can tell by the flaring of his nostrils that he eants to argue with me about this but he also should know that I am right. Besides, Helena wants in on this action also.

"You swear?!" He says.

I then take his face in my hands and look into his eyes.

"I love you." I tell him.

"I love you too." He tells me.

We stand there holding one another for a moment until we heard yelling and then gunfire going off in the backyard.

Quickly we all hurry around in the house to grab guns and ammo when all of a sudden the back door busts opened and only O'Connell and one of his guys come stammering in the door.

Immediately O'Connell locks the door behind him while holding his arm.

This was it. They found us and just like Beetlejuice said, 'it's showtime!'

Here it goes. The time has come to finally take Chester and that asshole down!

No more Mrs. Nice Girl!
