“Hello?”

“Who’s this?”

“What?”

“I’m on my way”

………….*HUFF*

Nolans POV

I was running to my car, I couldn't believe what I just heard. There’s no way that my love will leave me this early, as I was driving to the hospital my eyes became blurry with tears. As soon as I got there, I ran to the front desk and told them my girlfriend's name. She told me what room she was in. I ran there, I couldn’t stop my feet from moving…..I’m so scared of losing her. “WHERE IS SHE!!!!” I yelled at the doctor near her room. I saw her parents crying, I looked towards the doctor again. “I’m sorry for your loss,” the doctor told me…..it kept ringing inside my head. Why? Was I not good enough? Why is everyone leaving me? I looked at everyone shaking my head silently, “No…..No this can’t be happening” I mumbled under my breath. ……….You can’t leave me…..not yet, I promise you Averi….I will never replace you.

-Real-time-

Narrative POV

Nolan was surrounded by security cars, not like he needed them. But a lot of people….no not people, Mafias. A lot of Mafias are trying to take him down, they couldn’t find another way so they chose blood. As he’s walking to the base, he meets with one of his friends…..David. David is Nolan’s right hand and best friend, he’s the only one out of all that is close to Nolan. “Did you get the information?” Nolan said as he walked into the base, “Yes, they’re already at your office” David replied trying to keep up westigate everything that went down, not a single detail to be left behind. I don’t know who I can trust in this organization so I have to watch my back.

Narrative POV

As Nolan called a meeting between his trusted men only, they all gathered up at the base's meeting room. All were nervous thinking they might have done something wrong. They all stood in silence until Nolan said something. Once he began talking they understood what they had to do and how they could do it. So after Nolan was done talking he told David to stand alongside him and so David went up to him and stood beside him, Nolan then told everyone there that he was putting David in charge. All understood that they had to respect David as their leader, not only is he Nolan’s right hand, he’s also his best friend. You go wrong with the Boss’s right hand, your life is pointless at that point. They followed David out to find more evidence of what happened to Averi, They split up into groups to find what really happened. David knew it was his chance to prove his leadership to the others and mostly to his boss Nolan. If anything happened to Nolan, David is the next one in line as a leader, David wants the others to trust him. Nolan knew he could trust David to find the details of the accident.

Nolan’s POV

A few hours passed since the meeting. They've been trying hard to find evidence, David called me saying that we would have to go back to America to find extra small details. I obviously agreed and got my luggage ready to go, all of my important men were ready and followed my car to my private jet. After eleven hours we got to America, the weather was different. It's been a while since I came here. I’m still tired from the flight so David and Isabella took me to my mansion straight away. I went straight to the master bedroom and took a shower, I felt so disgusting after a refreshed I went to bed. The next morning I woke up to the sun hitting my face. I smelled something good so I went down still in my nightwear. I saw Isabella and David cooking, well Isabella is cooking while David was just there to annoy her. I could clearly see that David was a lady’s guy, the only reason that’s a red flag is how short he is, *chuckle* He called every girl that he had his “wife”. He's really desperate at this point, I mean none of them stayed. “Good morning,” I said in a cold deep voice, they got startled, I guess my spying skills are getting better.

Narrative POV

“Breakfast is almost ready,” said Isabella. Nolan sat down beside David and started discussing what they had planned for the day. Nolan asked David if he’ll take a day off with him to spend time together. Nolan also said that they’ll have much more fun for the day as best friends and not coworkers. David said, “why not.” Isabella just stood there and kept cooking, she wanted a day off too and David could tell. But Nolan wanted it to be just him and David like some type of bros day out. So Nolan told Isabella to just take a day to herself, but he made sure to let her know not to throw a big party in his mansion like she was some kid. “Foods ready,” said Isabella. As she sat their plates on the table, all three of them ate at once. They discussed what they were going to be doing all day well Nolan and David were, Isabella, is just gonna be by herself. After they ate they went up to their rooms to dress up, After a while, Nolan calls David and Isabella down to meet one of his oldest friends ‘Mikayla.’ Nolan doesn’t know Mikayla’s real face, he doesn’t know what a two-faced bish she really is. Mikayla looked at David like she wanted to devour him. Although she has a personality of a garbage can, she’s still very pretty in a foxy way. He just doesn’t know that she has a lot of secrets. Mikayla acts innocent around them, she wants them to trust her. Mikayla then leaves for ‘important work’ After she leaves Nolan and David leaves the house too. After a long drive, they get to a club that is booked for just the two of them, it’s been a while since they went out together like this. Both Nolan and David got drunk pretty easily, they walked to a stranded beach nearby. They were goofing around, Nolan then noticed David just looking at him for a while. “What’s wrong?” Nolan asked David, “It's just………I miss going out like this ' David replied while looking up at the stars. Nolan laughed at how childish he sounded, “You act like you’re a caged little birdy” Nolan teased David. David glared at him, that’s when David stood up and punched Nolan in the face. Nolan stood up and said, “what the h*ll David what is wrong with you!” “Stop acting like we are gods because we're not Nolan, we’re just rich and powerful,” Said David. “I know” Nolan replied kinda cold, David realized that what he did is wrong based on the tone Nolan used towards him, David understood that he has a limit of words when it comes to Nolan, Yes Nolan is his best friend, but he’s also his boss, not just any boss. A boss that can get rid of him faster than wind.

David’s POV

An hour goes by as I and Nolan am in the car. None of us have said a word to each other the whole time. I think he’s mad at me. Nolan made a stop at a gas station to get us some snacks. As we walked in we saw the store being robbed, although Nolan doesn’t care because he finds it normal for these things to happen, I do. I went to help as Nolan looked at me from afar. He knew I wasn’t used to the Mafia world just yet, although he and I have been friends for the longest time, I just got into the Mafia world a few years ago. I ran and punched the man robbing the store, he tried to shoot me with the gun he was holding. I knew better not to let that happen, I grabbed the gun fast and put it to his head, he got on his knees. I tied him up in the store and put the gun somewhere far and left, of course, I’ll leave before the police come. If the police come and I’m still here I’ll be dead, I’ll either die by sitting in jail or in the hands of Nolan. I ran back to where Nolan was, “What took you so long?” Nolan asked with a harsh tone, I couldn’t find an excuse so I ignored his question. “It’s past midnight….I’m not your best friend now, I’m your fcking boss AND I ASKED SOMETHING” Nolan yelled, “I’m sorry sir” I had my head lowered, he’s right though….I should have been faster. “Why would you do that in the first place?” Nolan asked again, giving a half glare towards me. “Because—” I tried to explain but he cut me off, “We kill people as a job, why would you help someone? Did I ask you to or were you caught up with the ‘Best Friend’ role?” Nolan said harshly, I know he doesn’t have a lot of feelings to express ever since Averi died.

Isabella POV

I finally got rid of those two idiots, they’re honestly so tiring to deal with. I always have to do housewife things, I’m not even married… I went up into my room to find something beautiful to put on, But I couldn’t find anything so I went up to the second floor’s bedroom and surprisingly I found that bish Mikayla in David’s room looking threw his stuff, I saw that she had papers about Nolan and David’s work in her hands, I could tell that she was gonna use that information against them. I took her to the roof so that I could kill her but right as I was about to do that she had told me that she knew what really happened to Averi. I didn’t believe her but I asked her some questions about what she knew. She told me that Averi didn’t really die in that crash, she told me that Averi was still alive. That she hated Ella from the very beginning so she wanted Nolan to hate her too by faking a murder. I don’t know who Ella is but I feel bad for her, I’ll try to explain everything to Nolan once he gets back, so I thought. Before I could do anything Mikayla put a drug on my nose for me to forget everything, I fainted………
