Xavier's POV
"How the fuck could you let this happen?"
"I don't know okay. This is just too messed up. I just.. she's fucking carrying my child Ethan and she hates me."
"Well no shit Sherlock what did you expect."
"How could you even say that. You know I didn't want it to get to this."
"Listen Xavier, I love like a brother but honestly this time you fucked up way too badly. You could've been honest with her, she already knew the situation you were in. You could have sat down with her and explained not insult her. You got yourself in to this shit. You went about it the wrong way man and she has every right to hate you."
"I know. But I can't marry Andrea now. We need to do something. I can't give up yet. Wait Andrea. She'll help us, where's my phone?" I said standing up from the couch, looking for my phone.
"Wait Xavier! what are you on about? You can't make any decisions right now you're emotional." Ethan said running after me.
"No I've been sitting on my ass for months Ethan. I've been helpless but now, now things are different there's a baby involved. My baby. Mine and my Angel's baby. I may have failed her as a boyfriend but I'm not going to fail as a father."
"Look I know and I totally agree with you but you need a proper plan Xavier. We're talking about a fucking Mafia here we can't just go all in without a plan. Remember what your father used to say to us about planning." He said sitting down with me on the stairs. I'm such a mess right now.
"Yeah you're right. I remember."
"Proper preparation prevents poor performance." We both said in unison.
"I'll help you brother. You don't have to deal with this alone. And we'll get your family back, but first you need to deal with this shit."
He stood up and went to the kitchen. He came back with a glass of water and some aspirin.
"Here. Now go freshen up, I'll order some take out and call Andrea."
"Thanks Ethan."

After a long relaxing shower, I changed in to something comfortable. Andrea and Ethan must be waiting for me now. I made my way downstairs and found them smiling at each other and giggling.
"Oh stop being so cheesy Ethan it doesn't suit you" I heard her say.
I didn't want to listen any further so made my presence known by clearing my throat. They both looked to my direction then at each other. Wow how awkward. So I decided to kill the silence by asking.
"What did you guys order? I'm starving."
"Well before I could order anything, I called Andrea here and coincidentally she had just finished up cooking and guess what she want us to try her new recipe." Ethan said smiling from ear to ear. That's odd.
"Well where's the food I'm starving."
"I've set the table, please follow me gentlemen." She said blushing. The fuck is these two up to now.
We made our way to the dining area and quickly I was taken back to the night my kitten had surprised me with a wonderful dinner. The last night I saw her truly happy. The night before I broke her fragile heart. The night I last felt her soft body against mine.
I was taken out of my thoughts by Andrea's loud laughter at something Ethan had said. Since when did he start being a comedian. She should be careful with the lad.
I sat down and ate my food quietly. I was trying to find ways to make Lopez and Montero pay. I might have lost hope then. I was ready to marry Andrea and live the rest of my life in misery but not anymore. I have found hope and motivation to fight back. I can't let my child be without a father while I'm still alive. I don't even know if I should tell my parents or not.
My father would blame himself more than he already does. When miss Gabby left her job, it was hard for him but we both understood why. She wouldn't have been comfortable working with me. She'd constantly have to see the man who broke her innocent daughter's heart. She must hate me as well. Heck I even hate myself.
After a long dinner sitting with these two flirting, it was time to get down to business. So now we're currently sitting in the living room.
"So what do you have in mind? You know my father is always keeping an eye on us right?" Andrea said.
"Yes and we're going to use that to our advantage. I haven't thought about it enough but I have a plan. It's not really the safest but we only have one shot at it."
"What are you planning Xavier?" Ethan asked.
"We need to take down Lopez. Montero is nothing without Lopez. If we expose them and catch them in action, with concrete proof even his minions won't be able to help him."
"Yeah but how do we do that? They're always careful Xavier. My father always makes sure that everything goes as planned."
"We will be careful as well. I just need to jot down a full proof plan. We have until next Friday. The day of the shipment."
"Are you sure about this? I mean you're aware that every action you take will affect my sister and the baby. Please think this through Xavier."
"Don't worry Rea, completely trust him. He'll never do anything that'll put them in danger. That's why he's saying he'll come up with a full proof plan. I know you're scared too but we're here. Right Xavier."
"Yes Andrea we'll protect you. Your mother as well." I said reassuring her. I'm not really a sweet person but I had to.
She started crying, talking about how all of this was her mother's fault. Well she's right though. Her mother is at fault, she shouldn't have eyed a married man in the first place. So I couldn't stand her tears, they reminded me of the day I broke my kitten to pieces and that was my que. I left the living room and went to the guest room, I couldn't deal with emotional people right now. I had my own emotions to deal with. I also had to think about how am I going to carry out this mission.
I'm pretty sure Ethan will take good care of blondie. He's surely eyeing her. I laid there thinking of many ways this plan might turn out. I really had one shot at this because Angelique and the baby's lives are at risk, one wrong move, one fucking wrong move and my family will be gone. I'll need a lot of help. Mostly people I can trust.
I have never asked for anything but dear God today I pray you help me get through this.
