Last Chance Given

Four

“We decided to take turns to play our favourite movies, hoping it will tell you something about our taste, or maybe personality,” Jay rambled as I took a seat beside him,

“This is only for the family? No friends or anybody else is invited” I asked him, wanting to know more about the normality in this house.

“Uh, normally, we invited our closest friends to let them mingle with our family. Sometimes, the guys will invite the girl they are dating at the moment,” Jaxon spoke,

“So, sometime in the future, I can invite my friends over during these events? I will love that as I am more comfortable with them” I outspoke my inner thoughts.

“Erm, we will not mind. I hope sooner or later, you will be comfortable around us as well. We are here to love and care for you” Jay spoke sadly.

“I know you guys mean the best. But you need to understand, I am meeting you all the first time in my life, well according to my current memories,” I comforted them. Why the hell am I comforting them. I need to take a step back. I cannot become soft with them. They are strangers.

“Wait, what you mean about the memories? Bella this is not the first time we are meeting each other. You lived with us until you were four years old,” Jax looked at me, shocked face was what I am staring at.

“Your uncle did not update you on my health status?” I asked the confused, as I am not embarrassed about my memory loss. I have come to terms with it.

“Nope, no one told us anything about your health” Jay raised his voice causing all the attention to turn towards us. The movie was paused to see what the commotion is about.

“What’s wrong Jaxon and Jay?” Darian addressed his grandson,

“Papa, did you know that Bella has lost her memories of us?!” Jay screams unknowingly,

“Cristian is what is Jay speaking is true?” Darian demanded an answer from his son,

“Yes. Bella has lost her memories due to an incident, and she does not have any memories before she was 11 years old. I was going to share it with the family tomorrow,” Cristian answered his father and addressed the family at the same time.

“I am sorry,” Zet apologized.

“Why are you apologizing?” I asked him to tilt my head sideways.

“Your safety was and will always be our responsibility, and we have neglected it causing you to suffer,” he answered sadly.

“It is not like you knew where I was living and what happened to me. You could not have stopped it and please, you were young as well. Plus, I am fine and thanks to that, I am stronger now” I smiled making him smile as well.

“Anyway, I am tired. I am going to bed now. I will see you tomorrow morning,” I bid them good night.

I returned to my room and changed into my pyjamas. Send more information to my friends and closed my eyes to sleep not before sending a small wish that I will not have any nightmares tonight.

I woke with a start and choking back a scream. I took deep breaths calming my nerves down. Thank god, I did not scream the house down. I checked the time and saw it was three in the morning. I got up and changed into different pyjamas and the current one was soaked in sweat. I rinse the sweat off before changing into a new set,

I left my room and walked to the kitchen,

“Why are you awake?” I heard a voice behind me,

“Morning to you, Jax,” I greeted him still walking towards the kitchen,

I walked into a scene of men sitting around the table and papers were scattered around the table and there was a big blueprint of a building in the middle.

“We cannot enter through the backdoor they have armed it as well,” one of the men spoke to Cristian,

“We will then enter through the window then,” Alceste command,

“Yeah, that will not work. You guys can never enter the building,” I scoffed as I took a  sip of the water.

I saw everyone scrambling to collect all the papers. Too bad I am have already taken a peek at all of them to know that they are planning a break and entry.

“What do you mean?” Keshawn asked,

“I am telling you guys that, the windows are also armed with alarm using a customized technology,” I informed them,

“My question is, why are you planning to break into that building?” I asked them confused,

“They have some information that we need,” Chris spoke,

“You do not have to know why are doing this as it is not your problem,” Alceste said sternly,

“It is my business and becomes my problem when you are planning to break into my building right in front of me” I laughed.

“Wait, this belongs to you?” Aaron asked me in shock,

“Yup, I brought it and modified it using my own technology, Therefore the blueprint that you are holding is no longer a valid one” I informed him.

“What is the information you are looking for?” I asked the room,

“We need the information about Angel Eyes,” Aaron answered me.

“Why are you looking for that person?” I was getting curious about this more.

“Okay, since you know most about this side of the world. You are aware of the existence of mafias, right?” Aaron asked me,

“I am fully aware of the Mafias, and I am aware that you guys are the kings of the mafia,”

“You know more than you let us know,” Aaron chuckled,

“This makes it easier for us to share with you our problem,” Aaron smiled.

“The last few months our rival has been stealing our shipments and targeting our people. Our men’s training has become soft since our best trainer has retired from the mafia. We are hoping Angel Eyes will help us to train our men” Aaron shared.

“Angel Eyes will not train you guys,” I stated sternly, I know the character of Angel Eyes after all I am her best friend.

“Why? How----” Evan started, and I cut him off,

“I can get you the person who trained Angel Eyes to help you all” I offered.

“Alceste, remember this. Do not trust everyone in this room. Walls have ears yet it’s a human’s mouth spreading the information,” I tell him before leaving the room.

My family has yet to notice that they have a rat in their mafia. I will help them, after all, I am not the type to abandon my family and friends.

It is time to start the adventure.
