The HeartBreaker

Chapter 20: I will always be with you

Abigail

I finally make it to Jake's house and it's on fire, everything is in flames but no sign of Jake or Sergio. Sergio lives here but he's barely home but his car is here. I rush into his house no matter the amount of smoke I inhail. I find Sergio on the ground and it looks like he got pretty hurt. I rush over to him and help him up. I bring him outside and lay him on the side of his car.

"Abigail, you can't go back in there. They're still here." He says and then starts coughing his brains out.

"I have to make sure he is alright. I can't leave him in there alone. You stay out here, help is on the way." I finish my sentence and run inside and up the stairs and I see Jake wrestling around with another guy and they're really going at it. Jake finally gets up, pulls out his gun and aims it at the guys head and fires it. The guy's body falls on the ground and I gasp. I just witnessed a murder but I'm not afraid of the murderer.

He walked over to the wall and I don't think he noticed that I walked into the room and saw what he did.

"Why are you here?" He roared as he punched the wall.

"Because I care." I said almost breathless. He was intimidating and I was intrigued for some odd reason.

"You shouldn't be here, Abigail. Just fucking leave, like you were told." He spat, his tone laced with anger, hurt and worryness. I wasn't gong to leave, not again, not now, not ever.

"I will never leave, Jake." I said and rested my hand on his now bruised hand. He turned around and pulled me into a hug. I nestled closer to him and I felt safe, protected and loved.

For such a ruthless, scary mother fucker, he had a sweet side and I loved it. I loved everything about him, I love him.

"Abigail, why did you come back? After everything I put you through and all that I did, why did you decide to come back?" He ask and pulled out of the hug.

"Because, I love you. I tried so hard not to fall in love with you but I did. I can't shake the feeling I get when I'm around you. Especially when I heard the explosion, my heart dropped and I swear I thought you were gone. I don't want to lose you, although you have hurt me in so many ways. It hurts to think about the 'mugging' and Ryan. You the leader of a fucking cartel for crying out loud and I'm in love with you. I must be crazy to love someone who doesn't love me back." I finished and wiped the tears that fell down my face. I looked up at him and he was crying. I was astonished, he has never cried as long as I have known him, which has already been 5 months.

He looked up at me, smiled and rushed over to me and claimed his lips with mine. I was surprised but managed to kiss him back more passionately.  He broke away and picked me up and walked me out of the house.

The cops came and asked a lot of questions.

"Who could of done this?"

"Do you have any enemies?"

"What do you do?"

Of course Jake didn't answer the last one truthfully. He lied and said he was a CEO, which I was stupid enough to believe and so are the cops. We went back to my house, Jake hadn't said a word since we got here and I was starting to worry. He has been staring at the wall for an hour and I don't know what to do. Although he didn't say 'I love you' back to me, I felt his love for me when he kissed me. I don't understand my feelings but I know I want to be with him no matter what he does for a living, even if it is murder.

"I was a little boy, when I found out my dad was the leader of a cartel, one of the best cartels in Italy. We had a happy life, my father and mother were in love. He did everything for her and made sure she was okay. My father loved me, only because he knew when I got old enough I was going to take over the cartel. When my father first brought over Franco, I knew there was something off about him, he was a fucking trader. He played my dad so well, knowing he thought they were best friends. Franco wanted to take over the cartel and that's why he got so close to my dad. When my dad died of natural causes or whatever bullshit they made up, I stepped in the cartel and Franco chances of taking it over vanished. I knew what he was up to and I was not going to let him do it," he turned towards me and I only looked into his eyes, "I killed my first person at the age of 17, I didn't regret it and that sounds so bad but I didn't. He worked for Franco and was planning on killing me, it was self defense. So I was protecting myself and my mothers as well, she didn't mind the cartel business but she wanted no part in it. Although months after my father died, she sneaked around with Franco knowing what he was planning on doing. I love my mom and that sucked when she went behind everyone back and did that to us. When Franco killed her in front of me, I made it my mission to murder him but he was always ahead of me and I don't know how he is. I'm so sorry, that I never told you any of this, its just a past I don't want anyone temporary knowing. You're not temporary, you're forever and I hope that you stay with me through thick and thin, Abigail." He was now crying and I felt so bad for what has happened to him and what his mother did. I crawled over to him, sat in his lap and rested my head on his shoulder while lacing my fingers with his.

"I won't leave you ever. I will be here with you even though you're a criminal." I said and he chuckled.

"I have to tell you something, I don't want to because it will hurt you to no extent but I can't keep it from you." I say to him and stand up, he looks at me waiting for me to say it.

"I remembered something that happened to me while Ryan had me with him and I'm so sorry, Jake. I am, I can't even picture C-" He stopped me.

"Just say it, Abigail."

"Andrew was with Ryan while he had me captured." I say and look up at the ceiling, I know that he is hurt and angered at Andrew and mostly with himself.

"I love you, Abigail." He says and kisses my forehead. I was going to reply but he picked me up and set me on the bed. He took handcuffs out and handcuffed my arm to the bed, I pulled my arm away, trying to get free but he's stronger than me and managed to stop me from pulling anymore.

"Don't make this any harder than it already is." He growls and a tear slides down my face. I can tell he's fighting his own tears as well.

"What are you doing?" I asks.

"I have to finish this once and for all and I can't let you die as well." He says and I panic.

"NO! Jake, please, there's another way. Don't leave, I can't lose you." I cry and he stands still.

"You will never lose me, I will always be in your heart." He says and walks out of my house. I scream and pull on the handcuffs but nothing works.

"Jake! Please." I cry.
