Rival Lovers (Completed)

Chapter 35

"Everything will be okay," Francis reassured me.

He kissed me on the forehead as well as Lucas before standing up.

"Please be safe," I told him.

Francis smiled at me. I took his hand into mine, as we just smiled at each other.

"I love you, I won't let anybody hurt either of you."

"I love you too," I replied.

I meant it, I truly loved him.

I never thought I'd fall for my rival, someone who I thought was a horrible monster my whole life.

I remember my father telling me stories when I was younger about how Francis's father, was going to raise the antichrist and he will kill us all.

I could never expect 15 years later, I'd be married to him, or that I would have had his son.

I understand why my father had done it. To keep himself safe, to keep his men, and his gang, safe.

My father was happy, especially since Francus's father was now sick. Even though he was sick, it didn't stop Francis from getting ready for the war that was about to go down with Wren.

So much fear was flooding around.

Everybody knew a war was coming, it was all around the news. Civilians were terrified. They knew something huge was gonna happen. So many people were trying to move if they even could. Both of Francis's men and Wren's were getting prepared, ready to fight, for, me...

If I truly thought about it, I feared Wren would win. They both have contact with other gangs and Mafia's.

I couldn't help but worry about what would happen if Francis did lose.

He would be killed, and so would Lucas.

I would become Wren's queen, and he would probably lock me up.

He wasn't the same person I remember him as, or maybe this whole time it been a ploy for him to catch me in his web...

Francis's POV

"Boss, Wrennly contacted us. He said he wants to meet with you, hoping to discuss everything."

I looked at him and rolled my eyes, "I have no interest in talking to that mother fuck!" I yelled.

"But boss, it might be best!" he replied. I could sense the fear inside of him, and he had a lot of balls to talk back to me.

I walked up toward him and looked him dead in the eyes, "How the fuck is talking to him going to be for the best?! He's Fucking crazy and he's trying to murder me and son, and take my wife as his own!"

The boy looked at me in the eyes, meeting my glare.

"If we go to war with him, thousands, even millions could die. Maybe you could make out an agreement with him,"

I chuckled, "And that arrangement would consist of what? Killing my son? Having my wife for the weekend? He wants to kill me and Lucas, and I don;'t think you can just negotiate on this shit! It's life or death, not some type of territorial thing where we can just split it in half."

The boy nodded, "So, is that a no?"

I turned back to him and thought for a second.

I know there is no way of negotiating with this asshole, but I was quite interested in what he had to say, maybe this could even be my chance to kill him.

But on the other hand, he could be doing the same, luring me in to kill me, then going after Beverly and Lucas.

I sighed, "Tell him I agree. But on some terms. Only him and I, and a public place. We must agree to no bloodshed, it's a straight meeting, that's all,"

The boy nodded before quickly walking away.

I sat down in my chair and began to think about all the ways this could go horribly wrong.

I could end up being killed, he could have something up his sleeve.

But maybe I should. A plan to kill him while we are there, and a backup plan if anything was to happen.

I knew I was agreeing to no bloodshed, but he was threatening some of the most important people in my life, and I couldn't let anything happen to them.

"James! Come in here, and gather everybody else. I have a plan to take down this mother fucker..."

Beverly's POV

I hummed to my little boy as he started to drift off into sleep.

I loved him so much, and I hoped that everything would work out in my favor, that Wrennly would back down.

I don't want him dead, I just want him to go away, to forget me, to do his own thing and let me be happy.

Being with him was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made.

I was happy that I was now with Francis, my husband, my soulmate. I had truly grown to love and be happy with him.

We have our days, but overall he has become an amazing husband and an even better father.

He tries to spend as much time as possible with Lucas whenever he is not busy.

During the day his attention goes to Lucas, and at night, I have Francis all to myself.

We spend hours together at night after Lucas's head hits the bed, he is usually knocked out.

I stood up from the bed once I noticed Lucas was asleep, and I walked him yo his room and laid him down in his bed.

Once I was done, I headed downstairs and saw that most of the men weren't anywhere to be seen, and I had figured they were with Francis.

He was planning something, I just didn't know what. I also wasn't sure if I wanted to know what exactly was going on though.

"Beverly?" called out a voice.

I turned around and saw him...

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Looking for you, I've been walking around everywhere, but couldn't seem to find you."

"How'd you get in?"

Wren chuckled. "Your husband isn't as smart as I thought he was. He didn't seem to notice that I had a rat who just let me in once he told me that all of the men were in a meeting. I came to get you, you belong to me Beverly..."

"I do not!"

"You do...now either you're gonna come with me, or I'll send the signal to kill your little boy." Wrennly threaten.

"Please don't hurt him, eh's innocent. I'll do whatever you want..."

"Good girl, now, come along. Don't make a sound either." Wrennly said as he guided me out of the house and to a black car that he shoved me into.

"Where are we going? He's going to notice I'm gone. You won't get away with this..."

"We're going to Sweden."
