His enemy, Her lover

Amelia

"Doctor, Fuck Amelia it's not the time to stand there and cry, get a fucking doctor" Marcus says angrily

I run out of the room and grab a doctor, I turn to Renzo and tell him what's going on and he starts rushing into the room. I try and walk in but I get stopped by a doctor. "Only two people aloud, sorry"

I shake my head and step back. I knew there was nothing they could really do to save him. Hell, I wish there was something, but I knew there wasn't. I knew Marcus would never speak to me ever again after this

I didn't really care about Marcus, like at all. But I wanted to be able to speak to him about this and I knew that wasn't even an option now.

I grab my phone as I hear a ring. It was my father calling, probably asking about how Marco was doing.

I picked up the phone.

"Amelia, come va?" [Amelia, how's everything]

I honestly wanted to lie to him. I could hear the sniffles from Janet in the background, so I knew she could hear me.

"Papà" [Dad] I didn't know how to tell him this. It was only our first day working together and I already fucked it up.

"I- I understand. Amelia, did you see his body?" My father said as his voice began to shake. Almost as if he was about about to cry.

"Yes, why?"

"Amelia, was there a letter on the side of his neck or anywhere on his body?"

I didn't understand how he even knew about that or why it mattered right now

"Y- Yes. The letters MLX on his ankle and an X on carved on the side of his neck"

Right when I said that my father said nothing and hung the phone up

Marcus storms out of the room along with Renzo and sit in the van. I follow them and get in, not saying a word.

The drive back to my house was silent. I couldn't think of anything to say that would make this situation a little bit better than it was.

I knew Marcus hated me and I wouldn't be surprised if Renzo did too. I had put my main focus into not messing the mission up for anyone

And now, because of me, Marco was dead and gone.

"Bye Amelia" Renzo says as they finally make it to my house. Loud screaming came from inside the house. Not just any scream but someone was in pain.

Janet walks out of the house screaming and crying and then her eyes meet mine.

"Non è colpa tua tesoro, non è colpa tua" [its nots your fault honey, it's not your fault]

I sent her a soft smile as I turned and watched her climb into their car. Renzo sent me a soft smile and then he drove off

Was she right?

Was this not my fault?

Either way, I felt bad.

"Ameila-"

I pushed my dad out of my way "Don't. Just don't." I say as I walk up the stairs and slam my door. I've had many bad days, many men that have died. But never like this

The men i've had never had real family since the mafia wasn't something you just go around and flex. Not a lot of people even knew half of us we're killers

So when one of my men died, I had nobody else to be sorry for because we were the only family that they had. But now, I had the whole Creed family to apologize to and to feel bad for. I wasn't used to messing up, and if I did it was never as big and bad as this was.

Not even three seconds into me laying my head on my bed, I hear knocks at the door.

"Come in" I say as I sit myself up on the bed

It was nurse Lue, probably coming in to cheer me up. "Can I trust you Amelia?" She asked as she turned and locked the door

I scrunched my face

"Y-yea of course you can. What's going on?" I said as I started to sit up more

"Amelia, what I'm about to tell you will change everything."

I shake my head, letting her know I was listening and I wouldn't tell.

"Someone is after you. Not just you, but your family. The Creeds too" She sat on the bed with me

"I don't under-"

Lue quickly put her finger to my mouth. And pointed to the door

Outside of the door I could hear my parents arguing but barely

"I told you this wasn't a good idea. I told you and Marco but you claimed I didn't know what I was talking about" My mother said

"That was a long time ago honey. And I know I should've listened but there's nothing we can do about that. You and I both know who's next if we don't stop him now"

I didn't know what was really going on or what they were talking about. Everything was so confusing and what they were saying made no sense to me

"I don't understand" I said

"It's not for you to completely understand at the moment. But you will." She said, giving me a look that I've never seen before

"There's a lot of history behind your father and Marco that you don't know about. You may think they hate each other but it's all for a reason. It wasn't always just them two Amelia. There was another man that I don't feel comfortable speaking of but its for our- your safety."

I shook my head

"Listen, Marco wasn't just killed by anyone Amelia. He was killed by a man that they once called their friend, their brother"

A confused look crept on my face

"You really want me to believe that someone that was so close to them, would kill them" I rolled my eyes and giggled a bit

I didn't really believe what she was telling me. But then again, I didn't want to.

"Key word Amelia. "Was", the man that killed Marco was close to him and your father yes, but something happened to them. They shifted as people and power grew over all of them. The man more than them. Listen you don't have to believe me but you need to be careful."

Before nurse Lue could leave I grabbed her arm

"I want to know the truth. Tell me what happened."

MUST READ!

(Next few chapters might be a little confusing if you don't read this.)

Okay guys for the next chapter it's basically Nurse Lue telling Amelia the story about how everything went down so instead of her telling the story it'll just go back in time and the story will tell itself.

Remember, this isn't really happening now it already has happened!
