My Fiancé's Best Friend

Decisions, Decisions

It's not everyday you are being whisked away from your apartment by your ex-fiancé who just happens to now be the leader of a drug cartel. I look at Terry and a chill came over me, why does does this turn me on? Ease your hormones Sophia, you just broke off your engagement to this man earlier today and he went bat shit crazy and turned all Tony Montana.

"Are you even paying attention?" Terry asked indicating that he was talking to me. I broke my train of thought and just starred at him with a blank expression.

"Uh no forgive me for not being in the right frame of mind but it's just that you're now doing the very thing you said you were not going to do and it rhymes with mugs," I reply leaning a little away from him. This does not go unnoticed to him and he grabs my arm and pulls me closer.

"Sophia darling, why do you want to sit away from me, after all our wedding is soon, in a couple of days you will be Mrs. Agard and the wife of one of the most powerful men in the world."

"Excuse me? I do recall that we broke up today," I retorted while trying to break free from his grasp.

"No you wanted to break up, I did not agree to any such thing. Can't have a break up without both parties agreeing can you?" he stated and a creepy sly smile came to his lips.

"What, no who are you? Terry I know what happened earlier was a shock and I take full responsibility but that isn't an excuse to behave like this. You're just falling into Ian's hands. The man has you whipped."

"No Sophia, you are the one that has me whipped. Don't you get it, I want to be this way for you, for us. With this power we can do anything and Ian won't interfere because he has what he wants. He will have his son take over the empire and a grandchild on the way."

"You're sick Terry! What is wrong with you? Please tell me that you have another plan in mind and this is just a distraction? Please!" I begged him on the brink of tears. It hurt me deeply to see a man I admired and even loved to an extent become this putrid human being.

For a second Terry looked at me and not with the demon eyes he had a few moments ago, he looked at me with his eyes, the Terrance that I fell in love with all those years ago and he faltered. He gave me a faint smile and caressed my cheek gently, like he always did.

"My Sophia, please don't cry, you how much it pains me to see your beautiful face in pain, please don't my love," he pleaded and I breathed a small sigh of relief knowing that he was okay. This is him, this is Terrance Agard, safe, predictable and trust worthy.

I looked up at him and smiled a small genuine smile and he leaned in and kissed me very gently on my lips. At first I didn't want to kiss him because of everything that happened today but I felt like I needed to, so I kissed him back. It was gentle and loving and simple. There was nothing there but love and I knew I loved him but I also knew that the kind of love I have for him isn't the kind he wants it to be. I love Terry but I'm not in love with him.

He broke the kiss and stared at me with a misty eyes, he was on the brink of tears. I couldn't look away, this is what I did, I created this mess of a human in front of me. I was selfish and only thought of myself and never him. I enjoyed River Smith, I really did, but with River there was nothing more than a booty call, a one night thing, lust. I spent so many years having a one sided love affair with Terry that I wanted to be selfish just once and look, look where this shit has gotten me.

I brushed my lips gently across Terry's cheek and her blinked away the tears that were brimming his eyes. For a few minutes we just stared at each other in silence, I looked at him, he looked at me and I thought to myself that this could just work, Terry and I could work. Terry is real, his love for me is real, we belong together. I didn't go through hell last year just not to be with him now when back then it was my goal.

He kissed the top of my forehead, " I love you Sophia, please marry me. You were always in my sight all these years, I always knew you were there, I always loved you but you know my situation and I would have never put you in a tight spot. I know I'm not perfect and we all make mistakes. I forgive you just the same as you have forgiven me numerous times. Please come back to me," he pleaded and my heart melt away and I broke down in tears. This isn't real, this cannot be happening. 

"Yes, yes I will marry you," I replied nodding like a big fool and the smile that came to his lips was phenomenal. He was happy, that is what is important. He hugged me and I hugged him back knowing that I did the right thing. I was going to be Mrs. Agard and it was the right thing to do.

"This is great Sophie, now we can go on with the other plans," he said and I felt the frown on my face instantly.

"What plans Terry?" I asked sceptically. 

"Well there is much to do. I have a meeting with district heads in about an hour to get them familiar with me. We have a wedding to plan and I have to get rid of some people," he finished and I didn't know what was more terrifying, the fact that he still wanted to be the cartel boss or that he wanted to get rid of "some" people as he said or that he changed from being sweet wonderful Terry to new scary Terry in the blink of an eye.

"Terry you're not seriously doing this? Please we just had a heartfelt conversation, I'm all yours, you don't need the cartel," I said my voice sounding a bit strained. I needed to reach him, to make him see that this is wrong.

"Oh baby you thought by agreeing to marry me I would change back, no. You see my Sophia, I must thank you. If you hadn't done what you did then I wouldn't have understood what my father said to me every time I saw him." I gulped at the fact that Ian was no longer Ian, Terry acknowledged him as father now. " Do you know what he said?" he asked me and I was too afraid to ask. He looked at me and signalled the driver to start the car.

"He said, bitches may come and go but your family is all you really got!" he reached for my throat and I immediately began bawling like a banshee. I tried to open the back door but it was locked, child safety. "Shhh, shh my Sophia, I will give you something to relax now okay." I looked in horror as one of his henchmen in the front passenger seat handed him a syringe.

"T-terry p-please don't do this," I begged, my throat sore from my bawling.He loosened his grip around my throat and I thought I was okay until he stabbed me in the neck with the needle.

"It's okay my love, everything will be alright," was all I heard as I cried my self silently into darkness.
