The Mafia Family

Chapter 33

Hours of the news of Desiree's passing hit Renny hard. She stood as she watched the stars, with Juliette, Elijah and Flynn behind her.
The silence was nice but hard for those who felt the pain of a close friend.
Juliette wore Elijah's jacket to stay warm, along with Renny who Flynn was surprised to accept it.
Juliette spoke first but stopped when Renny began.
"You were right. I have a reason why I'm marrying Christian Knight. And I was stupid to let myself go this far to do it. Maverick said he has men to locate King's hideout. Take his men out, and we can take Victor. And help Joey's medical treatments."

"Who?"

"There's some things you don't know about me, Red. But you know Blue, what I told you about him. I loved him, and after he died, I found out he was my half brother. Yeah I was shocked too. Angry but sad that he died. Not only that but he left something behind. A little Blue. Hehe."

"Ren."

"Girls like me don't leave the district if your pregnant, they won't let you. But I found Joanna who was looking for girls to take and I was determined to get the hell out of there. I begged her to take me, begged her I would do anything. And to my joy, she did. But on one condition, either abortion or adoption. I choose adoption, after my son was born, I was 14, I gave him up and one of the girls was sweet to told me who she left him with. I did what I had to do. I always see him whenever I can but I don't want him back. Maverick offered to give me the money to pay Jonana back but in the condition..."

"You marry his son, Christian."

"Yeah. I wanted out of my debt so bad, those who managed to pay them back are always 50, 60 years old! I don't want to spend my life working to pay it off. I wanted my freedom but I don't anymore."

"Why didn't you ask me? I would've helped you, Ren."

"I couldn't. I couldn't ask for you to help me because I would still have to pay you back."

"That's not true. I wouldn't ask you to pay me back. I wouldn't do that."

"You went to Joanna to give her the money so you can leave, did you?"

"I'm done with that place but Maverick has me now. I'm marrying his son."

Flynn lifted her chin up to face him, "The time we spent together, was it real or a lie?"

"How can you ask me that? It was real, every bit of it." That was enough for Flynn to hear before placing his lips to hers. Renny was surprised but returned the kiss, it was real. What they had together was real.

"You don't have to keep this from us. Stop running from this. You don't have to do this alone."

"Flynn is right, Ren. Don't walk away from us."

"Maverick played you because you were weakened. He found what means to you. D and your son. What else did he do?"

"He threatened to take Joey away from his parents. Now I don't think he did it. He didn't kidnapped Joey because I agreed to marry his son. D!"

"It may be the people who were after you. They found you."

"You said someone is after you. It's them, isn't it?"

"Yes. I took some stupid dagger from the leader and now they're after me to get it back. This is my fault!"

"No it isn't! Because you know why? Because we're going to make those bastards pay! You better believe we're going to get the kid back and kill them!"

"Damn I love your charm."

"Red."

"If you had ask me for the money to pay Joanna back, I would have giving it to you. Because your my sister, Ren, I got your back."
