And before he walked away he whispered to me, "Just because the timing is off does not mean you and I are not destined to be. There's no end to our story." ~Natalie Jensen

James POV

I woke up and glanced at the clock it was 4:50 in the morning and I need to get ready for my flight. I glanced down at Axel who was laying on my chest and a small smile made it's way onto my face. I lightly pushed him off and stood up and pulled my clothes on I looked back at Axel who was now snuggled into the pillow. I pushed his hair back and lightly kissed his forehead "I love you" I whispered before walking out of the room. 

I was at the front door when a voice stopped me "Oh James I didn't know you were here" I glanced back and saw Mrs. Grey holding a baking pan with cookies on it.

"I was just leaving" I turned around to look at her completely.

Her eyes immediately glanced down to my neck and widened my eye brows furrowed and I looked down. On my collarbone was a mark where Axel bit me last night "He marked you" she murmured to herself "Why are you leaving so soon aren't you going to wait until Axel wakes up" she asked.

I frowned "I can't as much as I want to" I told her "I'm moving to Italy my father has uh...business you can say over there. I just came last night to tell Axel I didn't intend to stay the night but I'm glad I did" I said "What are you doing up so early" 

She smiled sadly "I always make breakfast for my pa- as the lady of the house I make breakfast for everyone" she clarified.

I turned to the door "Can you leave a message for Axel" I asked.

I heard her sniffle but I didn't dare turn around or I'll start crying too "Of course honey" she sniffled.

"Tell him that I love him and one day I will come back to him" I whispered some how I know she heard me. I walked out the door and drove off and I finally let it all out all the anger and grief. 

****************

"James" my father called when I walked into the house "Where the hell were you all night. Do you know how worried your mother is" he scolded.

I scoffed "Does it look like I give a flying fuck" 

"Go shower your mother and I finished packing you shit while you left" he said not giving me another glance.

"Why do I have to go and Stacy doesn't" I yelled finally exploding.

"Because she wasn't part of our agreement" he said coldly.

"What agreement" I asked confused as to what he was talking about.

"We aren't just moving to Italy just because James. I made an agreement with the mafia boss he has a daughter named Adelina you two are arranged to be married" my father took a sip of his coffee and didn't bother looking up from his newspaper.

I stood there shell shock before anger washed over me "You can't do that I love someone else" I screamed.

My father looked up "I can and I did now go shower" he looked back down and ignored me.

I gave up and listened to him life is so unfair why can't I be happy. Why did I have to be born into this family? I shook my head and ran into Stacy's room after I finished my shower "Stacy" I cried while jumping on her bed. 

She woke up with a jump and glared at me but her look softened when she saw my face "I know I asked him if you can stay but apparently you can't" she ran her hands through my hair and I stared at her sleeve tattoos that she just got.

I looked down at my unmarked skin I should get Axel's name tattooed onto my skin. I sat up and Stacy looked at my neck "That's one hell of a mark" she said before sniffing the air "Axel did it" I don't know how her senses are so good they just are. 

"James honey it's time to go" my mother said from the door.

I turned back and glared at her "Did you know" I asked.

She flinched "James I know you were very happy with Axel but your father wouldn't listen to me. It wasn't my choice it was your fathers" she said sadly.

"Whatever" I sighed while getting up "Bye Stacy we'll keep in touch" I said.

"What about Axel" she asked.

I looked down "If I'm getting married I think it's best to stay away from him. For our sake" I wiped my eyes roughly and walked to the car.
