Shadows and Smoke

Chapter 23: I can't believe this

Scarlet's Pov

Fucking hell, I can't believe this shit. They were talking between each other that I was a murderer like they haven't killed people before. That sentence did not bother me though, I have accepted the fact that I'm a murderer. I was sleeping before I came down and heard their conversation. I woke up when I felt someone get in the bed beside me, hugging me.

When I saw it was Alice I got scared because I thought something happened since Xaden told them to not come home tonight and after we couldn't even sleep. We were just talking, about her and Liam, about her business and about what was happening with me and Xaden, basically we were catching up on each other's lives. When we came down I heard what Liam whispered to Xaden and Xaden's answer.

"Scarlet, that's not what I meant." Xaden said, walking closer to me.

"That's fine, Xaden. I am not mad or offended about that sentence because it's the truth." I told him. Xaden hugged me and kissed my forehead. Alice was now sitting beside Liam.

Xaden whispered in my ear "Now it's Xaden and not baby? I thought we passed that stage, amore." Fucking hell, he was still thinking about that. I smiled at him and stuck my tongue out to him. Xaden started laughing when he saw that and kissed my forehead again.

"I need to do some work, me and Liam are going to the warehouse. If you guys need something let us know." Xaden said, he kissed my lips like it was the last time he was kissing me. His lips felt soft on my lips, fucking hell I was getting addicted to his kisses. He smacked my ass and they left.

I looked at Alice and I explained to her about the shit that was happening with Enzo. I never held back anything from Alice, and now she knew that there was a possibility that Enzo was my father. She looked at me with concern and said "Don't you want to tell Xaden that you are being suspicious about that?"

"I have considered that for a million times and there was not a chance for me to tell him. I guess he shouldn't know because Enzo might not even be my father. I could just be so desperate to have a father in my fucking life." I looked at Alice, she was just shaking my head but before she asked me the question I already answered her "I know that he never came for me and I do not need to have a father in my life, but I just want to know why they never cared for me." I was looking at Alice now, this conversation started bothering me more than it should. I took out a cigarette from my pack and started smoking.

"I will speak with Dante, he wanted to tell me something but I never got the chance to call him back." I told Alice, she just nodded her head.

"Put it on speaker, I want to know what is happening because I can fucking feel how bad this is going to end. At least I know what is happening to you." She said with concern in her eyes. She really had my back no matter what and I loved her for that. I also knew that she would not even tell Liam about it if I didn't tell her to.

I dialed Dante's number he answered me right away and said "I am on my way to you, I fucking need to tell you stuff man."

"Okay come, Alice is also here with me." I told him back, fuck if he was insisting coming then it was something important.

"I missed her. I will see you guys in few." He said and he hung up on me. This man will never learn how to fucking say goodbye or bye. I hated when people just hung up on me. Anyways I looked I Alice and I knew she was thinking the same thing that I was thinking, whatever Dante had to tell us was fucking important.

Few minutes later Dante came and he started making all of us coffee. He sat down with us on the couch and said "Fucking hell, the last time that I came here, it was a fucking disaster man. Y'all never told me that you had boyfriends, and fucking mafia leaders."
