65.

Vincent Pov

After my call with Malik I went upstairs changing into gear I drove over to their house I know this probably wasn't the time but just incase I didn't come back from this I needed to make sure I said it.

Going inside would be hard knowing most of their guards would shoot me on sight.

Calling baby cakes....

Call denied.

Calling baby cakes.....

Val: Didn't I tell you to delete my number?

Vince- 10 minutes of your time and I'll leave you alone I promise please, just meet Mr outside I'm not armed I'm alone I just want to talk

Call ended

She hated me snd I deserved it i leaned back into my chair as the tears pooled in my eyes. I fucked up with the only two women in my life that I was supposed to cherish. Even as I try to fix things I just fuck things up even more.

"speak" I heard the door open as I looked up.

There is was the woman who utterly had my heart wrapped around her. Leaning down I got out her favourite flowers and a handwritten letter.

"I know you hate me but take these please" she didn't say anything as I placed them onto her lap.

"5 minutes I don't have time to be Wooed, your sisters kidnapped and your thinking flower or someone else instead of finding her"

"I called Malik ..I asked him for help finding her, me and my brothers we realised our wrongs lot went on but most important were working to find her .I got you these just in case I didn't come back. "

"Vincent-"

"No let me speak. I know I was never the perfect boyfriend and that I was the worst brother. The guilt of my actions eats away at my heart everyday because instead of being he guy you needed me to be and the brother she needed I was a dick. Every night I can't sleep thinking about this and I know I deserve to be tormented. I'm not asking you to take me back I not only betrayed your trust but I proved to be undeserving of you. I'm letting you go Val, not because I don't love you but it's time I took accountability of my actions. I still love you and I'll always love you. I'm holding you back from moving and I honestly want nothing but to see you happy..even if it's not with me. Whether I make it out if there alive or not you'll always be the woman to hold my heart. Thank you for everyday where you made me feel loved but I want you to know I'm truly sorry for dissapointing you and betraying you. I still love you so much Amour. You don't have to say anything in return"

"Goodbye Vincent"

Her head staring at the flowers as she took them leaving the car without looking at me, I could feel my heartbreaking as she walked inside taking a deep breath as I cried I broke down. I can't live without her but I know this was the right choice. First one I've made in a while.

Just as I calmed down the door opened again and this time it was Malik. I could barely look at him I felt like a shattered man.

"We found her" I smiled, the first genuine smile in a while.

Time to bring my baby sister home.

"Thank you man, you have no idea what this means to me and my family I'll forever be in your debt"

"Do you really love Val?"

"My heart would still keep beating even if I was 6feet under, I don't just love her I'm utterly in love with her yesterday today tomorrow and forever" I started the car as I he just nodded.

Driving back was to the house we made our way straight to the basement.

"We found her let's go get our sister." "the eyes in the room snapped back to me. The room alone felt tense the woman dad was seeing bound and crying with a cousin that betrayed us.

"How is Thea the mother of your child"

"Her name is Claire and we met during a counseling session fell in love and had a kid. When dad died he was killed and I vowed to find his killer. I sent letters to you but no one answered expect your mother she showed me how you ignored me and enjoyed your lives while I had to suffer alone no mother no father and a baby on the way. She gave me an offer at first to kill all of you I declined that until she threatened Claire. That's when the switch between me and August was made I learned everything about him and even got surgery. My son was born very soon after that and she kept telling to end all of you but I stalled when her lover died Clark she sent Claire to end Josie's life but we both couldn't so that's why we sent her to you guys. She set up everything even Josie's assault. I took credit for it because it was still my fault she was there in the first place. I tried but I couldn't. Kidnapping Elliott was an order if I don't check in every 6 hours she'd kill my kid. Elliot finding out meant made things tricky. She thinks August is dead but I kept him in a safe house that I barely went too. Claire pretended to date your father to get information for her to get the things she needed to sell Josie.. I know we both fucked up but kill me instead not her please."

Okay so it's official if I see my mother again I'll just have to kill her myself.

" why would she do all of this"the question that lingered in the air

"Power she did it all for power"

We left the two of them in there still bound in separate corners of the room locking the basement we left to find our sister.

Driving the the house that she was supposed to be in armed and ready we saw no guards at all. Was this even the right house or a trap. We took the risk either way running into the house guns ready as we broke everything in sight looking for her a short woman stood infront of all of us Her eyes locked onto Elliot.She had absolutely no fear as she walking up to him as she slapped him harshly.

"Don't you dare fucking wake her up or I swear I'll make sure none of you walk out of here alive" for such a short woman she had Absolutely no fear in her knowing there was an army of guns.

We set our guns down in the awkward silence as we heard a blood piercing scream up the stairs. The girl ran up stairs and we all followed.

The door opening as we saw our sister screaming thrashing around in her sleep. It broke us to see her like that. The woman tried waking her up but she looked like she didn't know what to do herself. Aiden walked up to Josie even as she struggled in his arms he held her tighter until she woke up.

"Aiden?" She wrapped her hands around him tightly all we could hear were her soft sobs while he comforted her.

She's safe now, but will she forgive us?

Josie I devote my life to ensuring you're safe and you feel nothing but loved for the rest of my days.
