(Not) Written in the Stars!

Chapter 28 (Ty) I won't let go!

In my line of business, being shot is not uncommon. Therefore, this is not my first rodeo. But this is the first time I feel like I am dying. I am not sure if it is because of the amount of blood I am losing at a scary pace or if I remember those haunted eyes looking sadly at me while mouthing her love confession.

Who am I kidding? What is killing me is that last scene with Alexia. I refuse for this to be the end.

In such a short period of time, Alexia and I have gone through enough ups and downs to compete against the scariest roller coaster in the world. I am no Saint, so I can see why karma might be tempted to hit me in the face, but my woman has only been fighting all these years, and this is not fair for her. She deserves a happy ending, hopefully with me and Sammy.

I know my guys are outside waiting for a signal to act. This was a practice installed in the club almost a decade ago when a stint went wrong, and a bunch of our guys died because they entered a warehouse trying to help one of ours and were ambushed. Since then, the rules have been clear, and we don't go in until we get a signal. When doing our business, we try to connect with hidden mics, etc. But this was an impromptu operation, and in hindsight, I was so desperate to get to Alexia that I didn't stop planning this properly, and now she might pay the price. 

I never suspected that Daisy or Bernadette would have been working with Alexia's dad and that he would be here.

Fuck, he has my Pixie, and if he does something to her again, I am not sure how she will handle it. It took her so long to accept affection. I am afraid that if he forces himself on her, she will break without repair. I might not be a man of faith, but right now I am praying to any force in the universe to protect my girl. Whatever happens, I will be there for her and will help her heal. I just need to ger her back alive and into my arms!

We will put all the pieces together because there is no way I can move forward without Alexia. Losing Victoria was tough, but now that I have found my true soul mate, there is no way I can operate without her.

Stop! I need to change my mindset right now. Focus on saving Alexia.

I don't even know where my phone is. I lost it in the scuffle with Alexia's dad. I scan the room and see it across, but standing up is out of the question, so I move to start pushing myself toward it when I feel a cold, trembling hand touching me. 

My brain has been so foggy with thoughts since I saw that fucker taking Alexia that I had forgotten entirely about Daisy, who was just pretty much beside me.

Part of me wants to end her life right now. She is almost gone anyway, so with just a bit of pressure, I could strangle her in just minutes. She deserves that and more after all her sins against us. But another part of me feels sad for that young girl who was innocent and cool in her own peculiar way. 

Bernadette didn't deserve to be bullied, and I am sorry her brain got messed up afterward. But that doesn't excuse her horrible actions. She killed Victoria and our innocent child. And now, she brought Alexia's dragon back.

Daisy tries to talk to me, but her voice is almost nonexistent.

"I am sorry! I truly love you. Y-you were the only one who was nice. I am sorry!"

"Daisy or Bernadette, whatever. Right now, we both need help, and I need to save my woman, so let me go and get my phone so I can get..."

"Use mine; it's in my pocket. There's no need to exert the little energy you have left. I know where he is taking her; he mentioned a cabin in Lake Monteview."

"Too little, too late! But if it helps you, my guys have a tracker on Alexia, so we will get to her one way or another."

The time after I dialed GD went like lightning. The guys raided the house, and Marlene and Selene immediately got to work on my leg. They hooked me to an IV and put a tourniquet. In just a few short minutes, I felt a bit less dead, so now I was ready to get to my tiny lady. The moment I tried to move, I felt Basi's strong arms on me.
