Last Chance Given

Ten

It has been a year and five months since Conner, and I started to act as a couple. It was not difficult as we actually became close friends. I knew something would go wrong, and I did not know that it would be caused by my family.

“My father wants me to take over the mafia next month,” Conner told me scared,

“Oh, and he will make you kill me so that you will become cold-hearted,” I stated, and he nodded in agreement.

“Don’t worry, I have already made a plan for that. I need to contact my team to ask for their help,” I informed him.

“But when that happens, the next thing your father will make you do is to kidnap the Mendez princess, which happens to be me. I want you to do exactly as he tells you. I want to use the moment to find out the traitors hiding in the mafia,” I briefed him on the plan.

I picked up my device and dialled the one number.

“Cover your ears,” I warned Conner,

“YOU BITCHHHHH!!!!” Isis's voice covered my walls

“It has been one year and five freaking months since you contact us. Luca is going crazy over here and we cannot control him any longer” she rants nonstop.

“Luca shut her up, I have something important to share,” I spoke emotionlessly.

“Silence Isis,” Luca’s rough voice was heard, everyone on his side became silent. I was sure he was emitting an angry aura, scaring everyone there.

I gave them a detailed update of the past one year and five months. I also gave them the newly revised plan excluding the k********g part. There was lots of shouting and argument before they agreed to my plan. While Luca stayed silent through it all.

“Why are you not saying anything, Lu?” Kailyn spoke,

“Bells is right. Her plan is the right move at the moment. We have to help her out. It is not like we are going to really kill her,” he supported me making me smile.

“See you soon, Bells. Take care” he hanged up the call.

“You like, no, love him, the Luca guy” Conner stated,

“Yes,” I sighed deeply.

“Conner, this is my life mission, I will die trying to complete it. I do not want to let him in and break his heart when I do not survive this mission,” I vent my feelings out.

“Dylan always told me this when I was scared to step into the future. ‘Live waits for no one, as well as death, so grab every opportunity you have. Love the people who love you and die with no regrets,” Conner stated making me smile. Dylan always loved t0 give random advice but they always had various meaning. What Conner said was right. I should stop living in fear of dying and start living for the moment. So that when death is here to collect my soul, I will have no regrets.

When I go back home, I will write a letter for everyone, yes, even Mendez. They deserve to know the truth behind everything.

A week later, Conner received the order, probably commanded, by his father to kill Layla. To make it seem like Conner genuinely loves Layla, he put up a fight with his father, losing with intentions.

Today, he will be coming over with his right hand, Daniel, and his father right hand Ayden. I had already delivered all the documents over to my team back home. I wore my hoodie, joggers, and black socks, finishing the looks with glasses and two low ponytails.

I watched some Netflix shows while waiting for Conner to come over. I was watching Julie and the Phantoms, mumbling along to the songs. I heard the doorbell, I walked slowly to open the door. I saw the group there,

“Hi, baby, what a surprise?! I thought you will be coming over tomorrow night for a movie,” I acted surprised while kissing his cheeks,

“Come on, in” I opened the door wider, while looking confused with Ayden’s presence,

“He is my dad’s friend, he wanted to meet you,” Conner introduced us sadly,

“Let, I get you guys a glass of water, while you settle down” I pointed them to the couch, as I walked into the kitchen to get the water.

I placed the glasses on a tray and carried them to the living room.

“Here you go” as I passed a glass to Conner who thanked me.

I cuddle into Conner as we continued watching the show. Conner and Ayden kept looking at each other. I smirked inwardly as I switched the knife that Conner hid behind us. The knife I passed him, will actually injure me. It was tipped in with a type of drugs that will stop my heartbeat and breath for a moment. Enough time for Ayden to confirm my death.

I nudged Conner with my elbow, indicating it was time. He slowly got up,

“Babe? You need something” I stutter as I looked at him in confusion.

“I am sorry baby, I really love you but I need to do this. Know that I will forever love you” tears rolled down his cheeks making this as real as it can get.

“I do not understand what you are saying, darling. But I will be here for you” I stood up acting like I was going to hug him when he stabbed me near my chest.

I stumbled backwards as I gasped for breath, I pulled out the knife as I stared at Conner with big eyes.

“Why?” I whispered as I fall. I closed my eyes as my heartbeat started to slow down.

“Are you happy now?!” Conner screamed continuing the act as he scooped my body into his arms.

“Tell Father that I have killed my love. Tell him, that my heart will no longer open for anyone again. Don’t forget to tell him, that I will forever hate him until my last breath” he screamed.
