Marrying the Mafia

The Things We do for Love

Derek's POV: 

      I start running down the hall screaming for Noah. I forgot about the fucking deal! Shit, shit, shit! 

"Noah! Now isn't the time to get mad at me!" I yell running downstairs. 

Noah walks out a room.

"You piece if shit, I've been calling you and full on screaming for you!"

"I was taking a shit!"

"You know what, I don't give even half of a fuck. We have a situation."

"Why?"

"I forgot about a deal that was supposed to close last night!"

"Derek, we already took care of it!"

"Wait, what?! You mean to tell me that I was running around like a cave man for no damn reason!"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Go fuck yourself." 

"Nah, I don't really feel like it right now, maybe later though." Noah says walking away.

"I hate you!"

"Love you too, cuz."

I chuckle and walk away. That bastard.

      I decide to take a shower. I let the hot water run down my face. I can't help but feel bad for Aria. Why would she push me though? Sure it was Ryder, but she'd never take a bullet for me, or anyone for that matter.

I think back to what she said before everything. Her father could build an army. What if he did? If he did, I'm completely fucked.

"Derek!" Noah yells busting in the door. I jump.

"God damn, Noah!"

"You never told me you stole Aria!"

Oh shit...

"How in the hell do you know?"

"Some bitch started calling you saying she was going kick your ass and get Aria back."

Rowan... Damn this shit!

"Damn it!"

"Derek, what's happening?"

"Get ready, cousin, because we can't buy our way out of this shit."

"Why? Derek, just tell me what the fuck is going on?!"

"Do you remember Delina."

"You're biggest rival?"

"Yes, that Delina."

I turn off the water and grab my towel. I wrap it around my waist and step out of the glass shower.

"Aria is her daughter."

"No fucking way!"

"Yes. And her father, with my luck, has already gotten in touch with the rest of Delina's gang."

"Well shit."

"We should be fine. They won't do shit as long as I have Aria."

"Okay... I just hope you know what your doing."

        I exit the bathroom back to my room. I get dressed and walk outside for some air. It's calm, for now. Aria should be better soon and we'll all be fine...

Time skip: 3 weeks (Aria's fine and nothing's changed)

    Nearly a month later, Aria feels better. She's just how she used to be. Looks the same and everything. She's changed a little bit though. Aria's more cold and distant. I can't tell if it's on purpose or not. I guess she might still be shaken up, or I don't know.

I walk down the hall to Aria's room. She sits there on her phone. Damn it, she found it.

"Derek." She simply says.

"I told you not to have that! Damn it Aria, people can track us and-." 

"Derek, Rowan did it. You're fucked, we're fucked." She breathes shakily.

My eyes go wide.

"Damn it." I sigh.

"Derek! My father likes me, he doesn't love me! He's always favored Trevor! Hell he favored Rowan over me! She wasn't even his fucking daughter!" Aria starts ranting. I walk over to her and sit next to her on the bed.

"He's in it for the money! But Rowan, she's in it for the kill. Derek, she want's to kill you, and maybe me depending on these messages."

She hands me her phone and I open the messages she has with Rowan.

"I'm coming, Aria. I should've never left you alone with him! Do you even know who he is!" (last month 6:53 PM)

"Derek fucking Montgomery! Bitch you need to get out of there!" (Last month 6:54 PM)

"I have given you 2 weeks to respond, but it seems you didn't give a fuck, so I told your father. I also did my research. You're fucked Aria! I'm coming for you." (2 weeks ago 3:43 AM)

"I hope you realize I'm in it for the kill, but your father on the other hand, he's in it for the money! He doesn't give a fuck about you or Derek! He just wants money! So you and your little bitch are going to be up to me. Blood will be mine one day!" (Today 11:30 AM)

     After I'm done reading, Aria starts shaking. Well damn, this is just a threat, why in the hell does she think we can't handle it!?

"Aria, these are threats, what in the hell makes you think I can't handle it?!"

"You don't know my father like I do, Derek! He's probably found where we are already!"

"Yeah, but do you not understand the resources we have?"

"Derek! Open your fucking eyes! There's only one person above you in New York! It's my father! He get's everything he wants, when he wants!"

"Okay, on that note, I'm out of here, come find me when you've come to your senses that's you're in no danger. And don't touch your phone."

I stand up and walk out of the room, leaving her alone.

Aria's POV:

       He doesn't understand! I throw my phone at the door right after he leaves. My own best friend wants to fucking kill me! My father won't give a shit if I die! Rowan can do what she wants to me and Derek! But this time, you can bet your ass I'm not taking a bullet! He hasn't paid any attention to me, or what I've been doing! He says I'm being cold and distant?! I haven't done shit to be cold or distant! He hasn't paid any attention!

I stand up and start pacing. Rowan's smart. She knows things. She"s powerful. More than me. And I'm a fucking Torres for fucks sake! I should have the upper hand! You know what, I will, I'm getting the upper hand!

      I storm out of the room to find Derek. He's not too far down the hall. I run up to him and grab his arm. He looks really irritated, but that won't stop shit! I turn him so he's facing me. Derek gives me a passionate stare. Our face just inches from each other.

"Let's get the upper hand." I say with a wicked grin.

"I told you." 

"No, not that. I mean a different upper hand."

"What are you thinking, preziosa?" Derek puts an arm around me and we walk down the hall.

I start to tell Derek about my plan. This is very impossible, but possible if we think hard enough...
