Fighting the Mafia (Completed)

Chapter 19

I sit in Tiffany's house crying my eyes out.

"What happened Haley? I thought things were going well between you two?" She asks.

I wipe my hand across my face, trying to make the tears stop. "I thought so. He basically said I was there for his entertainment. He fucked me and dumped me."

Tiffany sat on the couch looking stunned. "What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm fucking sure. You don't believe me?." I spat.

"Haley, I'm just trying to understand. Maybe there was miscommunication." She crosses her arms.

"Miscommunication? Yeah, because being told that you were basically a good fuck can be miscommunicated." The sarcasm leaves my lips.

I go on to explain to Tiffany everything that happened at dinner.

"Hales, I believe you, but it doesn't seem quite right. He basically spends months getting close to you. He opens up to you and tries his hardest to please you. Hell, he finally got you to see a therapist. What guy does that if your just a piece of ass?"

I shake my head, "I don't know. But, I'm done. I don't fucking care what his angle was. Maybe he likes a challenge."

Tiffany purses her lips together in confusion, "Haley, it just doesn't add up."

I slam my hand on the couch, "I don't fucking care! I'm done. I'll go back to my old job and beg them for my job back."

"Haley, they hired someone for your position. I'm not sure you can get it back. But, you might be able to convince them to let you come back in a different capacity."

I put my head in my hands, "my life is so fucked up and it's all Theo's fault. He should have just let me go."

Tiffany's hand strokes my back, "I know you don't want to hear this right now, but look at the positives. Theo showed you what a piece of shit Kyle was. I know you hate him right now and you have every reason to, but don't you find it even a little bit strange?"

I sigh, "I don't know. Can we talk about this another time?"

She nods and stands up and grabs pillows and a blanket, "you can stay in the spare bedroom. I have plenty of room. I just washed these."

I take them from her, "it's just for a little while until I save money and find something."

She gives me half smile, "stay here as long as you want Hales. I would enjoy the company.

Theo's POV

I come into the house with a wine doused shirt and bloody knuckles from punching the side of my car.

I see my family all gather around the kitchen island. Bella notices me first. "What the fuck happened to you?"

I shake my head, "don't ask."

Zane's squints his eyes, "where's Haley?"

Everyone's attention is now on me, "She left."

Bella gets up from the chair and walks towards me. "What do you mean she left? Where did she go? Why isn't anyone with her? When will she back?"

I was getting so angry with Bella's persistence. "shut the fuck up Bella. I don't want to FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT!" I yell.

I see Diego grab Bella's arm, urging her to back off.

I head upstairs to my office and slam the door. I punch the door over and over, making my knuckles bleed further. I walk over to my desk and sit down, grabbing tissues and trying to clean the blood. I sit there, trying to figure out how in the hell I'm going to fix this. I keep replaying dinner over and over in my head, trying to think of how I could have done something different.

Zane walks into my office. "What in the hell is going on?"

I run my other hand through my hair, exasperated. "I had to protect her. She hates me now, so she's safe."

Zane walks over to my desk, "you did something really fucking stupid, didn't you?"

I stand up, and throw my phone to Zane. He notices a picture of Haley and I hiking and a picture of Haley and Bella together.

Message:

She's quite beautiful. I wonder what her skin would feel like under my knife. An eye for an eye. I'll mail her body back in pieces like I did with your father.

Zane's eyes widen. "Fuck...you think Kade found out about Haley?"

I nod, "yes. From the pictures I can tell they've been following us, seeing how close I get to Haley, trying to find my weakness. I knew they would follow me to dinner with her to see what happens. I looked around the room and instantly spotted Kade's men. They are so fucking stupid to think I wouldn't notice them." I take a deep breath.

"Because they were there, I had to prove Haley meant nothing to me. I made a spectacle of tonight. Fuck Zane...I feel like I died inside when she said she doesn't want anything to do with me. But, I knew if they thought she was just a hit it and quit it, they would leave her alone. I had to make it look convincing. The only way to do that was to make her temper flare and God knows she has one."

Zane chuckles, "I'm assuming that's why your sporting a wine doused shirt?"

Rolling my eyes, "yes. I'm lucky she didn't fucking punch me. The rest of the family can't know. It has to seem as real as possible. We need to find Kade and eliminate him for good. I'm done with this bullshit. I want Haley back. I know I'll have to fucking grovel on my hands and knees to get her back, but I'm willing to do it for her. But, we need to get this sorted first."

Zane nods, "we'll start tracking this phone number and try to get a location on him. Oh and Theo...you better get prepared for a lot of ass kissing once Kade is gone. Haley's not going to forgive you easily. Especially with what happened with Kyle."

Clenching my jaw, "I know."

Zane stands up and goes to walkout of my office. "You love her, don't you?"

I sigh, not knowing what to say to him. "Find her Zane and quickly."

He smirks as he walks out of the door, "never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that fireball that came blazing into our home, would bring the heartless Moretti to his knees."

I glare at him. "Why are you still wasting my time?"

He gives me a sadden look, "I promise I will do everything possible to help you get her back." He closes the door shut.

I throw my phone against the wall smashing it into pieces. "FUCK!" I can feel my stomach twisting and the fire blazing through my face because I'm angry that I had to let Haley go. She thinks that I don't want her. But, God I want her so fucking bad.

It took everything in me to stop her from leaving. I just want to touch her, kiss her and make love to her. I want her in my bed. I can't stop thinking about the hurt and anger I saw in her eyes. It fucking kills me. I will rip anyone apart that stands in my way of getting her back.

Kade, when I get my hands on you, I'm going to enjoy watching you bleed. You haven't seen heartless or ruthless yet.
