Sabine
It's beena few weeks since my life went to shit and i'd like to say that I was proud of myself for being able to pick myself up and just move on with my life, but I'd be lying my ass off.
Sure, I moved on with my life, but only because If I didn't, i'd lose what I worked hard for. There was nothing besides work that I could even be bothered to pay attention to. The only reason I made it to this little meeting that Felix called is because Tristan wouldn't take no for an answer and basically dragged me out of bed to come.
I'm in the car with Tristan, but I'm just looking out the window waiting to get to the office so i can get this over with, and then I can go back home to bed.
"Sabine, I never thought I'd ever say this to you but, Did I do something to piss you off?"
I turn to look at him, trying to figure out what he's talking about now, "Why would you think you did something to me?"
"Well it's simple, you're in the car with me right now, and you've barely said a fucking word to me. In fact, you've barely said a word to me for weeks. I come over to spend some time with you and you pretend that you're not home but I see your car out front and the lights are on. You don't answer anyone's phone calls and honestly right now you look like you d'd rather go to the fucking gas chamber then be in the same space as me. So since we didn't argue or nothing like that I'm thinking maybe I did something to piss you off?"
I shake my head and do my best to give him a smile. When I can' t muster one, I shrug instead, "No you didn't do anything to me. I just have been having a lot to do at work. I'm tired. I don't need to be around people all the time. I just need some time to myself." I reply.
"Time to yourself, I thought you said..."
I cut him off before he has a chance to continue, "God damn it, Tristan! I don't want to be around people right now. I don't want to sit back and pretend I like the lunch just because my sisters want me to eat it. i don't want to entertain you or anyone else when they show up at my door at the very last minute. I don't want to do that right now. i want to be left alone and I want to have some peace. That's all. " By the time I'm finish my chest is heaving from the dep breaths.
Tristan glares at me for a second and I before he turns back to look out the front window and drive us like I didn't just have a mini breakdown in front of him.
I should apologize, I know it but I just don''t have the energy to do so.
"When we get to the office I see my entire family is there, including all the wives. Something big must be going on if he called all of us.
I stand in the back of the room while every one else crowds around in small little groups talking about whatever is on their mind. I'm the outsider and i'm perfectly fine with that.
"You'd think that I'd be more comfortable then.
"Alright guys, I have some things to talk to you all about and some pictures to show you. It's good news, so now worries." Felix says and there is almost a simultaneous sigh of relief.
Felix's eyes land on me for a second before he starts talking.
"I told all of you before in one way or another that I received a call from someone basically letting me know that Dimitri was on the fucking warpath, that he was getting ready to come for us again. Well, turns out last night there was a raid at one of the warehouses that we were set to purchase. "
"Wait the one near Stanton? The small one?" Malcolm says.
Felix nods his head. "Oh shit." Tristan mutters.
'"Yeah, they found Dimitri, his crew, and quite a few members of the cartel in there with more fucking crack and heroin than could fill the fucking place."
"Holy shit!" Deseriee says.
S:o that's it? He's gone now?' I say suddenly very interested in the fact that the first man that ever hurt me was probably going to be in jail.
"Yeah, they took him away, and from what I heard, he's going to be in jail a long fucking time. . " Felix turns his gaze and lets it land on Poppy. "Unfortunately, your mother isn't very happy about that, she's trying to get him out on bond but so far no luck. ."
Poppy shakes her head and looks away, as if she's embarrassed by the fact that she's related to the piece of shit that thinks Dimitri is the prime example of a good husband.
"You said you had pictures?" Tristan says.
My hand twitches as If I thought about reaching out for him. I know he's hurting. Dimitri hurt him horribly when he kept him captive all that time. He probably wants to know for certain that that Dimitri is truly out of the picture.
"Yeah, I had a contact in the area last night , when he saw all the commotion he hauled ass over there and took these photos.
he puts them on the table and the lot of us go over there to see them.
