Raphael's POV

I wasnt nervous to meet up with Keegan, in fact I was eager. Just a little bit anxious.

I held what I needed in my hands as I approached the blue house, Keegan instructed me to go to. As I knocked on the door and waited, I felt a sense of guilt set in, I knew I shouldn't be doing this to Aries...Brooke, I mostly didn't care about. But this could also ruin my reputation as well. But for Aries, I would do anything.

"Glad you could make it," I hear and look up to see Keegan, he was grinning from ear to ear as if he had just won the lottery. I say nothing in return and simply step in, glancing from side to side as I saw many people fill the living room. I followed him into the area and faced a man in a suit. "Is this him?" I ask bitterly and Keegan nods. "Matthew Price, pleasure to meet you Mr. Underwood." The man says to me, eyeing me intently. I clenched my jaw and simply nodded. "Well, do you have it?" Keegan asks and I turn and look around. "Show me Aries first." I demand and he smirks in a humored manner. "Smart man." Keegan hums and snaps his fingers. I look at the door in an anticipated glare, waiting. 

Was she unconscious?

Was anything broken?

Was she even alive?

Too many questions filled my mind and as the door opened they seemed to add up. I saw a man, I immediately identified to be Cameron. He had a large grip on someones forearm and I practically bolted for them when I realized, it was Angel!

"Angel," I whisper and she doesnt hear him. Her dark hair is matted with sweat and her legs are cut up, I see she has a large rip through her shirt and pants and her bottom lip is bleeding along with a bloody gash on the side of her head. 

"What the hell do you do to her?" I growl as she tumbles to the ground, clutching herself. Oh God, Baby A is in there, I remembered.

"Oh don't look at me like we did all of this. Most of it was from the crash." I hear Keegan say. "You said most of it, what about the rest?" I ask, motioning my hand towards her, I walk to go hold her but Keegans hand pushes me by my shoulder. "Ah, ah, ah. Deal first, then you can have her back." Keegan says with a smile and I glare at him.

I look up over at Cameron and try to keep my composure, even though I really wanted to go and rip his throat out.

"Fine," I finally say and hand Keegan the disks. "Is this both of them?" He asks and I nod. Obviously dumbass...

"Well, which one should we send on national television?" Keegan says as if he doesnt know the answer.

"What- what are you talking about?" I suddenly hear and it's Aries on the ground, looking up at her brother. 

Angel, dont speak, you dont have to. Just hold on baby. 

But now I was getting worried...she was about to find out. Keegan picked up the first disk and I relaxed as he went to the DVD player by the TV. "Well, let's see how it all started." He says and slides in the disk, suddenly revealing a very raunchy scene of Brooke and I.

"A sex tape?" Aries whispers and I look down at my feet. "That's how it mostly started," Keegan pauses and rewinds further into the movie. Now showing me with mulitple women. "I thought you said you never been with another woman outside of Brooke and I?" Aries whispers.

I look up at her slowly and see she's devestated. Her bright eyes are filled with tears and her bottom lip is quivering. "No, I said you were the only one I was having an affair with. Brooke didn't know about you-"

"Lie." Keegan interrupts. "Save your tears sister, it's just getting started." He adds and replaces the disk with the second one. "That's how he got into the business. Sleeping with most of the business. But how he renewed it, was all the more exciting." Keegan says with a smile and presses play.

Another scene from not too long ago pops up,

"Mrs. Underwood wouldn't approve of this.

Ms. Underwood isn't here." The video shows of Aries and I in one of her private sessions. I can't bare to look at her as Keegan fast forwards into the movie. Then showing, her and I having sex on the stairs, then in the bedrooms.

"So you recorded it. You're the reason why it got out." I hear Aries say in a trembling voice behind me.

"Raphael," She calls out but I continue to look down as our moans echoed from the TV screen. "Raphael, look at me damnit!" She yells and I shakily look at her on the floor. "How....how many...people...saw this?" She asks, as I notice her face begins to turn red. I swallow the large lump in my throat and hear Keegan chuckle behind me, "After today? Millions. Raphael is giving these to us to sell." Keegan says and Aries groans in disbelief. "To get you back!" I add.

"But that doesn't take the fact that he even set these videos up in the first place." Keegan says.

"That was before I fell in love with you." I rush out. "But he did it to Brooke too. He did it anyways." Keegan murmers and I run my hands in my hair. "Okay, I gave you the disks, we're leaving." I growl and reach over towards Aries, but she just stares at my hand.

"Aries?" I whisper and she looks at me slowly, her facial expression indifferent. She shakily rises to her feet, ignoring my hand and she turns away for a moment. "Let's go." She whispers and suddenly I see Emily emerge through the door Aries had come through. "No one's leaving. The police know are whereabouts and will be coming any minutes now." She explains and I look back at Keegan, who is looking like he already knows. "And?"

"And? We're all going to get caught, so let's go." Emily mumbles and she backs away. "No, that wasn't part of the plan." I say and there's a brief moment of silence, I hear more rustling and see Brooke walk through the door. "Does it really matter?" I see her smirk and reaches behind her and I see a gun.

"Someone is getting shot the hell up today and I don't care who it is." Brooke says, pointing the gun at me.

I look over at Cameron who walks towards her, "Sis, put the gun down." He whispers and she glares at him. "After what this asshole did to me? Sold a sextape of me? I'll be ruined." She whines.

"You think this is the only thing you should be worried about?" I say and step towards her. "You're so ignorant. You have no priorities and it's what you get after what you've done to Aries." I mumble and she smirks. "You think I give two shits about that pasty little bitch? She's a stripper, that obviously says how she feels about herself. I could've given you everything, everything she couldn't give." Brooke murmurs. "You have nothing that I want. You could never give me love, you're not even capable of loving." I say laughing in disbelief.

Her words were unbelievable. "Says you, but now it's over. Because everyone who needs to be here is." She says and I look to the people sitting on the couch. "It was rude of you not to say hi." The man says. "Mr. Merchant?" I mumble and he nods. "We're all here now and to be frank, I agree with Brooklyn." He says and rises to his feet and reaches into his jacket. "I haven't shot anybody in a few weeks." He adds and stands next to Brooke and Emily. "Why can't you just let her go?" I exclaim and he steps forward. "Because, Roselyn put this family to shame. She ruined everything and a disgrace as a daughter. The only thing she's good for is laying on her back, just like her filthy sister." He growls into my face, his dark eyes narrowing in on me.

His breathe smelt of cigarettes and his lips were chapped. "You son of a bitch." I hiss back into his face, balling my fist up into a ball. "You're one to talk. Do you have any idea how your father really was? How fucked up he was?" He pauses and chuckles, "Miranda was only 8 years old wasn't she? When your father squeezed the life out of her and then you had the nerve to kill him in return. You're no better than us. You're a murderer. An alcoholic" He lures in my face.

"I am nothing like my father," I whisper, but inside I was really questioning it all. "You must be a child molester just like him to." Mr. Merchant whispers in my face and I freeze. "What?" I breathe.

"Taking advantage of lil ole Emily. Taking advantage of your little sister and yet you had no clue. Touching his own child. Is that what you're going to do when Rose has her baby? Are you going to take-"

"You fucking bastard! I will never ever hurt my child. Just because you're a worthless piece of shit as father doesn't mean I'll be anything even remotely close to you and my father."

"That's where you're wrong."

"Go burn in hell." I spat. "It's in your blood."

"You're insane."

"Then so are you! You're nothing- Nothin-: But something cuts him short, suddenly he drops to the ground in a wail as the sound of a bullet echoes off the walls. He drops to his knees as Emily, Keegan go down towards him. I look up to see Aries holding the gun, shaking and trembling as hot tears slip down her face.

I knew she was some sort of pacifist before because she was so terrified to hurt somebody, let alone her own father.

I hear banging on the door and we all freeze and stare at the door as it bursts open.

"Aaron, Damon what are you guys doing here?" I ask as Aaron walks forward with a gun. "Aries come here." Damon motions towards her and I step towards them. Aries continues to stay still as she drops the gun and I walk towards her, reaching her up by under her arms. "You crazy bitch!" I hear and it's Mrs. Merchant yelling at her daughter.

Roselyn. Everything happens so fast as I see Mrs. Merchant lunge for Aries, her fist making contact with the side of her face, and I hear a crack as she collapes to the ground, she shakily sits up as her mother punches her in the face again and again.

I run over to them and pull her back by her shoulders, dragging her off of Aries. Suddenly I feel my shoulder being jerked back and Keegan punches me square in the jaw.

It happens so suddenly.

Then I begin to hear gunshots, everyone running, almost in slow motion. I see Aaron and Damon hiding behind the couch, shooting back at Emily, Brooke and Matthew. 

I get up and knee Keegan in the stomach, punching him in the back of chin and throwing him back.

Damon sits up and grabs Aries ankle, pulling her towards him as I rise to my feet. Hearing screaming that seems to echo off of everything else in the room. Blood feels my ears, fear in my veins. I was losing my mind. 

"Raphael, get down!" Aaron yells, he runs towards me and as he shoves me out the way, I notice Keegan had stood up next to his brother Blaine, and shot at me, but it was too late for anything to happen.

Aries stands to her feet and reaches for Aaron's gun, aiming and shooting towards her brothers, I don't know who's hit, I just hear screaming.

I fall to the ground and close my eyes.

Flashbacks filling my mind. The way my fathers body collapsed on the ground after I murdered him.

I wouldn't make it out alive.

I heard sirens and finally looked up to see Emily and Brooke running out the back door. I couldnt count the bodies that felt, there were too many. I saw Mr. Merchant on the ground. I saw Mrs. Merchant on the ground. I saw Blaine and Keegan as well, but I don't know if they're breathing.

I didn't care. I crawled over towards Aries who was hovering over Damon.

"Damon, Aaron...Aaron is." She whispered as I watched her sob, Damon was laying on his back as I saw a gun shot wound in his hip. His bottom lip as quivering as he looked over at Aaron's body. I hear banging on the door and look out the window briefly to see at least ten police cars outside.

"He's not breathing Damon." She whispers and he swallows hard.

"Aries?" He whispers and I glance down at the two. I suddenly felt as though I shouldn't be there. Like, I didn't belong in the enviornment. 

"What?" Aries sobs as she covers her mouth. Damon freezes and looks down for a moment and chuckles in disbelief. "I can't feel my legs." He whispers.

"What do you mean?" Aries ask and he begins to shake violently, I see him straining. "I can't feel my legs. I can't move my legs. I can't feel them. Got damnit Aries, I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS." He screams and I hear him sob. "I can't move my legs." He sobs.

"I'm sorry." I whisper, even though I both know they can't hear me. I covered my face as I hear Aries begin to cry along with Damon. "I'm so sorry."

~*~*~*~

I cried writing this chapter, well...the worst is over. The secret wasn't what you expected huh? Exactly. I'm the author so of course you won't know. Gyal do na like stuck uhp. Forreal.

I'm sorry for the delay but...I've been really really struggling lately, I'm working on getting better, but I needed to update.

Shit got real didnt? I made Raphael really vulnerable in this chapter. He was brought back to his childhood during the fighting scene. This was more than just a slight action scene, it was fears being brought to the light about everything.

Remember how I explained how the book was with Possession? I'm doing the same with She. 

Comment. Comment. Comment. I want to know your thoughts and emotions!

I love you guys!
