She is back

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Fiona's POV
It's been one day since the old man came and the house is not the same it's only Eva that's happy the rest are stiff. Something is up and I want to know what. James you've gotten sloppy I guess I need to toughen you up by increasing your training and maybe you'll pass the final stage of your training on like your father; the old fart Said and both Mr Evan and James stiffened while the ladies just looked at him confused.

To figure out what's going on I have to get closer to what's going on so I said the first thing that came to my mind. Can I come; I said. What; the old fart said. I said can I come and join you for the training. Of course I was even going to ask you to join; he said and I gave him a confused look but Mr and Mrs Evan shared a knowing look.

After I ate I went to go and get ready, the old man said I'll be his motivation during training I really hope he doesn't expect me to be cheering although cuz I'm a lazy mf. Hopefully I can sit and still be a motivation hehe. When we went in to the training room of their headquarters everyone inside bowed their head and where shaking they were obviously afraid of James grandpa and I'm about to find out why.

I was outside the training room watching everything from the window it was more like a death trap and I couldn't bear to see him dodge death so many times is that old fart trying to kill him. I was about to stand when I noticed something I felt seven people surrounding us more specifically me and they were armed.

I also realized another thing there's no where someone of the old man experience won't be able to detect them he's obviously behind it, I'll just play along and strike when the time is right. In less than seconds they all pinned me down James was so shocked that he didn't dodge one bullet and was shot.

James I'm going to teach you a lesson that even your father didn't learn, your number one priority is the mafia anything and everything goes after it and if there's anything distracting you from the mafia it should be terminated.

With that the men took it as their signal to punch and kick me it hurts a lot but I'm used to worse but clearly James doesn't know that and is begging his grandpa to stop yes literally begging, I have never heard him beg for anything it feels weird and wrong out of the Conner of my eye I saw a man pointing his gun at James he's too distracted to notice and tell him might make the gun man pull the trigger. Beaten and bruised I skillfully slipped passed all of them running towards James while the rest are chasing me finally I reached there and hugged him closing my eyes nobody suspected s thing.

Just when the man was about to shot I turned us and I felt an all so familiar sharp pain few seconds later the shooter was shot down. James looks at me with sadness I look down to see blood and then everything became blurry I lost my balance but James caught me just in time. It was getting to hard to open my eyes I could only register being picked up and James telling me not to close my eyes I tried but then I couldn't anymore and I finally closed my eye.

James POV

All I could see was red and in mere seconds all the people that attacked was now on the ground lifeless. Good good that should be your fastest record; said my grand father. I looked at him with disgust the man I once looked at with so much respect was the man I now despised the most in this world. You'll thank me later now she was just burden weighing you down can't you see now without her you're stronger, better you're finally just like me isn't that what you want all this time ; he said.

No I am nothing like you and I'll never be I said looking dead into his eyes those dull stormy eyes which now held a sparkle of delight, I rushed to go and carry Fiona and rushed her to the the sick bay and they started treating her.

I am just walking around cuz I don't know what to do and I can't do anything, arghhh it's so frustrating, I already called my parents they should be here any minute. In some seconds they came rushing in and I explained everything . Mum with a determined look went into the operating theater I was about to object when I remember this was actually her field I just hope her emotions won't get in the way.

I looked at my dad and he had this lost in thought look and then he said not again. Not again to what dad he didn't want to answer but he knew I'll disturb him until he did. The test your grandpa was talking about he did for me and I failed because I thought it was only for me I didn't know it was also for your mother but that was when we were in our twenties I didn't think he would do it now when you guys are just teenagers.

Well the test basically depends on your will and how it quickly crumbles when the person you love is pain and you would want to do anything just to stop it. It's also to make sure the girl you have with you is loyal and not weak. The beatings were to weaken her and only she will see the bullet behind, so only she can save you but the thing about my dad is he doesn't care if you pass or fail  your part of the test he only cares about the girl's part. For your mother and I like your grandpa said I didn't pass because your mother from the beatings passed out and lost her memories of that day according to him she was not strong enough to lead by my side and that for me was a load of bull shit so when he passed down the mafia to me he didn't give me the whole power over it but I didn't care I was with the one I love; my father said, I was so shocked I couldn't speak.

Just then my grandpa came in with a smirk and said well-done boy I'll arrange make an announcement tommorow concerning this. I knew what he meant he's going to announce whether I get the half of the mafia that my dad passed down to me or the whole Mafia.

As he left mum came in and the theater light went off the operation is over but we aren't allowed to see her yet
