Lydia's P.O.V.
Inhaling sharply I clear my throat sitting down in front of the three men, Arlo, Flynn, and Zayn...the biggest men in the mafia were staring down at me as two of them were severely injured. '"Tell them what you told me, Dia," Zayn said calmly offering me water, Flynn looked down at me painfully... "Don't worry about him, just say the information you were supplied with."
Swallowing harshly I begin, "Luke Shelby," Flynn's gaze snapped to mine, "He is the one who ordered the attack." Arlo looked between us suspiciously, "Um...Flynn met him when he came down to Arizona, the merger that was done between the Demons and Knights, he was the one who drew it up. He has a small problem with me."
"What kind of problem?" Arlo asked,
Flynn chuckled arrogantly, "She couldn't keep her nose out of his fucking business, now we have a trained fucking mob leader on our ass."
"I was just trying to help that poor girl, I didn't want her to-"
"Whatever the fuck it was Lydia." Flynn cut me off, "This guy has been training and working with the most powerful gang for god knows how many years, and now you've pissed him off. Did you ever think about Hunter and Vallie's saftey? You were living alone out there!"
"Don't bring them into this." I snapped, "This information was provided to me by Harvey and-"
"I will bring them in this because their safety-"
"You didn't care about their saftey when you kicked me out!" I snapped, "You didn't care that I was leaving with a 1-year-old child and an unborn child. I wasn't protected for a whole month before I figured out where the hell I wanted to go." Taking a deep breath I try to control my anger, "I was just protecting her, Luke isnt a good guy as you have already found out and Aunt May is in touch with her FBI contacts trying to control the situation."
Arlo raised an eyebrow at Flynn who was looking at me intensely, "You knew that he wasn't a good guy meaning?"
Clenching my jaw I ignore him, "That is all I know."
"Is that all you know really or are you here to finish the job your parents couldn't?" Flynn spat out venomously, the room went completely quiet.
Hurt, I took a step back, "How could you?" I say as tears begin to blur my vision,
"I am just saying what everyone here is thinking."
"No one is thinking that Flynn other than you." Zayn pipped in, "Apologize to her now."
"Please." He scoffed,
Arlo stood up flinching in pain walking over to him limping, "You are such a fucking asshole, Flynn."
"What is it with you, Arlo?" He asked tilting his head to the side, "Why are you always taking her side these days? Did she let you fuck her too?"
Tears fell out of my eyes as I stumbled back, so much hate, so much anger against me...for something my family and I weren't even a part of. "I need to leave," I whispered to myself, "I can't stay here." I was about to sprint out of the room but Zayn gently grabbed my arm stopping me.
Arlo found the strength and punched him square in the face, Flynn groaned stepping back and losing his balance slightly, "Shut the fuck up Flynn, I don't understand how Zayn made you the Alpha when you are so fucking stupid! Lydia's parents didn't kill your mother, Drake did!"
Flynn glared at him, "Shut-"
"I have proof," He said firmly, Arlo turned towards me but I shook my head frantically wanting to leave but he unhooked the necklace pulling the small pen drive out, "I need your laptop Zayn."
Zayn let go of my hand and quickly handed him his laptop, Arlo put the small drive in the laptop that played the footage from the CCTV camera from that night. Mom and Dad were trying to save her, not kill her while Drake mercilessly continued to beat Asia until she had enough shooting her 6 times. Tears filled Flynn's eyes as he looked away from the screen towards me...he almost had a pleading look in his eyes but I took cautious steps away from them. "Lydia."
A sob racked my body, Flynn pushed Arlo out of the way, "Lydia...I-"
"I don't want to hear it." I said emotionally, "I don't want to hear anything Flynn."
He looked at me ashamed, "I am leaving." I said firmly, "I don't want to be anywhere near you or let you anywhere near my kids."
Arlo and Zayn stayed quiet, "You can't leave." Flynn said quickly, 'Y-You can't leave, please-"
Not letting him continue I ran out of the room ignoring his calls, I ran into the kid's room quickly packing their clothes, Cassie came into the room worried, "Dia, what are you doing?"
Ignoring her I continue to throw their things in a bag, "Dia, it is the middle of the night, why are you packing their clothes? I thought you were staying here for a while."
"Plan change Cassie." I said shortly, zipping up their bag I gave her the cold shoulder hiding my tears, "I can't stay any longer."
"Are you crazy? You can't leave right now, Luke is still out there, I-I mean his people are still there and-"
"I don't care." I snapped, "I am going back to Arizona, I'll be fine there."
"Lydia." Cassie snapped back grabbing my arms roughly, "What the fuck has gotten into you?" My resolve melted breaking down in her arms I let my body weigh against her.
"He knows, he knows the truth." I cried.
"Flynn knows? That's great news..."
"No, it's not. I don't want to stay here, I want to leave...I don't want to stay here." I repeated, "I don't want to stay here."
Cassie hushed me holding on to me tight, "Shh, it's okay...everything is going to be okay."
Flynn's P.O.V.
I fell to the ground in shock helpless, for four years...for four fucking years I have been holding her accountable, holding her family accountable for something that didn't even happen.
"FUCK!" I yelled punching the wall wincing afterward, "What have I done?" I whispered, Arlo sat down in front of me gently grabbing my knee. "What have I done Arlo?"
Arlo sighed, "Flynn...she has anger against you, she has a lot of complaints and you-"
"I ruined everything, I didn't see through the obvious editing and I threw my family out." I whimpered as my damaged hand began to throb. Dad sat down beside Arlo, gently grabbing my hand.
"Win her back." He said firmly, "You are my son, and you are going to fix your mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes with Flora..you know, Brazen knows, but her love brought me back to normal after Asia had passed away...Flynn, your mother if she was here she would hate how you've become." My eyes snapped to meet his, "But if you win her back, bring you, family, back...she'll be smiling down at all. But first, you need to get rid of the person who made you doubt her." Amora.
Clenching my jaw I looked over at Arlo, "She had done everything on my instructions, but all the other trouble she has caused Flynn...she has done on her own."
"But Draven," I say,
"He's sleeping." Arlo sighed, "Just show her that you only have space for Lydia in your heart, scare her...threaten her...but for Venny just please show some mercy."
I wanted to kill her...if Draven wasn't here, she would have been dead by now...because of her everything went wrong...my whole life got destroyed...
