Prologue
Stella's Pov
My sister was shot right in front of my eyes..
I watched her fall into Clayton’s arms as they danced on the dance floor at their wedding.
“CALL 911!!” I heard Clayton yell out as I snapped out of my thoughts, wiping the tears that were falling down my cheeks. I quickly looked around to see people were running towards the exits on the barn so trying to find whoever did this they would of been long gone now. I rushed out to see anyone or anything but I couldn’t returning back inside I noticed everyone was staring at Clayton as he rocked back and forth. I had to get everyone out of the way so the ambulance could get through without any trouble.
My mother was standing off to the side under my uncle Alessandro’s arm sobbing as he held her and my aunty Ruby, shorty the ambulance came and took Angela and Clayton away as my mother got inside as well. I knew I had to stay back to make sure everyone was okay, hoping to god that she was going to be okay..
I watched them leave as fast as they could, I turn around to see my uncle Alessandro standing there with my cousin Niko. “We need to get everyone out of here safely then I need to speak to Cliff” I say as my uncle nods his head as I walked passed them. People were still in shocked after what had happen and I wouldn’t blame them, other mob bosses were trying to calm others day. Breathing in deeply and out I told a few of the others to start telling people to head home.
After 30 minutes everyone that wasn’t to do with the mob or the MC were gone and I was thankful for that, I knew they would start asking questions about this and frankly I had nothing. Both my aunties went to the hospital for support I needed to be there but I knew I had to found this fucker who ruined my sisters wedding..
“Cliff get me the security cameras of this place now!” I yell out as he walks into the room, giving me a nod he makes his way back out. I was pacing up and down I couldn’t sit down even though my feet were killing me in these heels.
My heart was beating so fast and that wasn’t a good thing.. This was more like an panic attack, I held a hand over my chest but nothing was stopping the pain. I didn’t even realize Niko was by myside when he was waving his hand in front of my face. “You need to sit down Stella.. Your having a panic attack” He says leading me to a seat, but it wasn’t helping. Then I looked to my right and I saw the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Those hazel eyes. Reapers.
“What’s happening?” I hear him ask Niko as he kneels in front of me.
“She’s having a panic attack” Niko tells him as Reaper nods once, taking my hands in his keeping his eyes on me. In the matter of a few seconds I was able to breathe normally again I had no idea how the hell he has this affect over me but he does and I’m not sure if that is a good thing or bad... I hope it is god damn good..
Why isn’t anyone else panicking about this.. Why were people so calm about this?
That made me start to panic again tell I heard his voice again “Stell.. its okay.. breathe...” I nodded my head slowly as Niko hands me a glass of water, sipping at it I was able to calm down a bit.
After a few hours I was pacing again in the clubhouse this time with no heels on as Cliff who was now a full patch member typing at his computers in his room, he had to tell the guys to keep me away because I was making him nervures with all my pacing in front of his room.
I have heard nothing from my mother only that Angela has been surgery. I had taken all the pins that I had in my hair out and I was changed into jeans and a tank top. What the hell was taking Cliff so long!
“STELLA!” I hear Cliff yell my name, I break into a run as I run into his room. I stand behind him as he presses a button to play the tape.
There was a camera on the dance floor showing Angela and Clayton dancing and there was two cameras facing the front entrance to the barn, I watched as a dark hooded figure walks into the barn, you couldn’t see anything other then the person holding a gun in their hand but I noticed something dark on their hand. “Zoom in on their hand” he does what I say and I noticed a tattoo.
“CA..” I mumble to myself “Can you print that for me and try and found anything else”
“No worries, I’ll yell if I have anything else for you” He nods as I pat him on the shoulder.
“Thank you” I nod as he hands my the photo he just printed off for me, he nods again getting back to his computer. I walk out of his room leaning against the wall I stare at the person hand that was covered in the tattoo that I swear I have seen before..
I close my eyes to find something but it wasn’t clear I couldn’t put my finger on it. Sighing I rubbed my hand over my face groaning as I was getting a headache from all of this. It was already midnight and right now the guys of the clubhouse would of been continuing with the party but now after everything that has happen no one was in a party mood.
When I pushed myself off the wall that I was leaning against I noticed that the men were all sitting around not even speaking while sipping on beers.. I walked into the room no one rose their eyes expect one.. Reaper.. I folded the paper into my jeans as I walked back out towards the gym that was downstairs. I needed a date with an old buddy of mine the punching bag.
Since Angela came back from Australia we all started training. I still train today we all do, but since Angela became boss she had to mostly focus on the family business. Tying up my hair into a pony tail I quickly changed into my workout gear, wrapping my hands up in tape before I started my combos against the punching bag.
I needed to let everything go into my punches, I was mad that my sister was hurt.. She might died tonight.. because of someone in a dark hood.. but I will find this person and I will make him pay for what he has done.. We are the D’Amore and we show no mercy to our enemies!
