Megan's POV
"First we need to find where Damien is, he could be anywhere."
I said as me and the gang were huddled around a computer.
"Give me 24 hours, and I'll have him located" One of the leaders said.
Damien is a pretty hard guy to track down, as he gets his men to do his dirty work in his name.
"Perfect. Now, I suggest everyone starts training. We have to be ready for anything. You are welcome to use James' studio and equipment, and if you need any guidance, feel free to ask me anything. Okay?"
I said as everyone nodded around me. I then got up and headed for the exit.
"Where are you going?" Grayson asked me.
"Just, follow me." I said as I exited the building.
We walked outside, around to the back of the building.
"James once accidentally told me about this secret room he had. I need to find it." I said to Grayson.
"Where could it be?" He asked.
"Um... I don't fucking know, that's why I'm looking dumbass" I said with a laugh. Grayson just chuckled and helped me look.
...
"Ugh! It's not here" I said with a sigh.
"Hey, don't worry, we'll find it." Grayson said reassuringly as he placed his hand on my arm.
"I'm gonna look inside" I said as I walked away. As soon as I walked inside, I was bombarded with questions.
"How do I-"
"What happens if-"
"Can you show me how-"
"Can you help-"
Grayson walked up behind me and placed his hands around my waist.
"I'll look for the room, you help them" He whispered in my ear.
He then kissed my cheek and walked away to look.
"Alright, listen up! Everyone pare up and grab some gloves!" I yelled as I clapped my hands.
I taught everyone new fighting combinations and defensive moves.
...
"Megan!" I heard Grayson yell as he ran towards me.
"I found it." He whispered, so only I could hear.
Grayson grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the back of James' office.
There was a hole in the bottom of the wall that was hidden behind a cabinet.
"Have you been in there yet?" I asked him.
"No. I thought you should be the one to go in first." He said.
I nodded and made my way closer to the gap in the wall. I got on my knees and looked through the hole.
"Well, here goes nothing" I said as I made my way into the room.
I walked in and looked around.
The room was filled with files and money. There was also a computer in the corner of the small room.
"Grayson, come" I said as I gestured him to come into the room.
"Wow" He whispered.
"I know, I had no idea James was this rich" I whispered back.
"What now?" Grayson asked.
"Now, we look through every single one of these files. James was hiding something, and I'm determined to find out what it was." I said.
"It's gonna be a long night then" Grayson chuckled out. I just shook my head as I too chuckled.
...
"Hey Megan? I think you should see this" Grayson said from the corner of the room. He had been helping me look through the files.
"What is it?" I asked interested.
Grayson handed me the files. I started scanning over the papers with a confused expression as Grayson spoke up.
"You know you told me about you're dad working on something before he died? Well I think this was it." He said.
My breath hitched in my throat as I realised what Grayson had meant. My father was planning something huge. Now I understand why he was away for so long on these business trips.
"Are you gonna complete it?" Grayson asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I had to think about my answer. Of course I want Damien to pay for all of the things he has done, and I think my father would be happy to see what he was planning happen, but I don't want a part of this. Any of it. I didn't choose to have this life, I never chose to be apart of all of this. I don't want to drag Grayson and my brother into it either.
"No. Once he is gone, we will be safe. The second he is gone, I want it to all disappear. No jobs. No missions. No gangs. No murders. No violence. No more of... This." I said as I gestured to the small room that me and Grayson were in.
I want to be able to finally find myself. To have a normal life. I want to have a beautiful family and have a wonderful husband. I want to live in a big house and have a big garden for my children. To spend every holiday, wether it be Christmas or new years surrounded by the people I love the most. To celebrate my new life and completely forget about my old one. I want to be safe. I want to be happy. I want to love... I want to be loved.
"Whatcha thinking about?"
Grayson asked as he placed his hand over my thigh, snapping me out of my thoughts and back to reality.
"My life" I said coldly as I looked down to my lap.
Grayson just squeezed my thigh. I placed my hand over his and he held it tightly. I just looked up, into his eyes.
"Thank you" was all I said before I jumped into his arms. I held him so tightly. Like it would be the last time I would ever see him again.
He held me in his arms as he traced his finger over my jawline. He kissed my head, then played with my hair.
I felt a tear fall onto my face.
"Grayson?" I said worryingly as I quickly jumped up and looked at him.
A couple tears had fallen out of his eyes, yet he was smiling.
"Grayson? Why are you crying?" I asked as I cupped his face in my small hands.
He just placed his hands over mine and pulled my face close to his. Our foreheads were leant against each other as our noses brushed.
Grayson stared deeply into my eyes before he pulled my body onto his. I was now straddling his waist as he leant against the wall.
His eyes never left mine. He stared at me with such emotion. Such passion.
He stared at me with such... Love.
