Crimson Vendetta

CHAPTER 23

ACE'S POV

This conversation is going so slowly. The only one talking among the three is Wyatt. I have no idea what to talk about and Viv is examining coffee like it's a fucking dead body.

"What are you doing?" I whispered in her ear. "Hmm.. nothing." She mumbled. "Just drink the coffee." I sighed.

"What if it's poisoned!?" She exclaimed quietly. "Then I will kill her a little bit," I said. "How do you kill a person a little bit?" She mumbled glaring at me. "I will figure it out," I said.

She looked at me and then took a sip. "I'm counting on you then." She said and a minute smile appeared on my face. Why does she always do that to me? Why do I always smile when I'm around her?

I looked ahead. It was time for us to leave. I got up. "The weather is unpredictable. Sorry. We have to leave." I made an excuse. "Alright, it was nice meeting you Felix, Thomas and Lily." The lady beamed. Finn walked us outside.

"Lily?" Finn smirked. "You guys go Ahead." Viv Said. What is she up to now? Me and Wyatt walked towards the car. I glanced at Viv. She was smiling and laughing.

What are they talking about? "You Jealous?" Wyatt asked beside me. "No, why would I be jealous!" I exclaimed my eyes still on Viv. He was touching her Arm and she was smiling. What the hell is so funny?

"I mean I would be if someone touched my girl." he shrugged. "Viv is not my girl!" I scoffed. "Everyone knows you have a thing for her and she has a thing for you!" Wyatt said. "I just can't believe you guys didn't work out in high school." He sounded a little disappointed. "Well, not everything turns out the way you want!" I mumbled.

There was a time When I almost fell for her. I had no idea what or how I felt at that moment but then reality hit me and I knew at that moment I had to choose Whether to confess to her or Keep her as far away from me as possible, far away from this world I was about to enter.

So I made a choice which I question to this day and now I'm here with her. I desperately want to punch that guy. It's taking a lot of self-control to not beat the shit out of him.

I closed my eyes for a second and clenched my fist. I'm not letting myself slip. I have come this far without her, I can do it. This thing with her father is just going to end when I kill him and everything will be back to as it was.

"Okay let's go!" Viv said shaking me out of my thoughts. We both looked at her, waiting for her to continue. "I'll tell you in the car," she added.

I sat in the backseat beside Viv and Wyatt in front. "I'm hungry." She declared. "There is no restaurant until we reach Portland," Wyatt said. "Here!" I pulled out a bag from beside me. "What's this?" She asked. "A muffin, chocolate." she likes chocolate muffin.

"Thank you." She smiled taking a bite. "I'm still mad at you!" She reminded me. I just hummed in response. "Aww look at you guys." Wyatt gasped. "Shut up Wyatt!" She glared at him taking a bite of her muffin. "And stop eyeing my muffin! I'm not giving you any!" She said directing the stare at me.

"Alright! What did you find out? What's in the file?" I asked. "There is probably nothing in this file. But one thing. Finn told me that Orson's man came looking for George for money. But if Orson had so much trouble in past with George why is he helping him now?" She asked.

"Maybe something changed between them or maybe Orson has a nice Twin brother!" Wyatt suggested. "He has a younger brother and he is more powerful in money than him. Also, he hates The other Orson." I replied.

"So Where can we find this Orson 2?" Viv asked. "Orson 2?" I mumbled. "Yeah! Younger Orson! Nicer Orson maybe!" She shrugged.

"I don't know. I've never met him." I said. "Can he help us?" Wyatt asked. "Maybe. I didn't know he was involved in this thing until Today."

"Okay. Finn is fetching the rest of the files for me. His mother didn't give him all of them and I think Silas knows we are here." Viv spoke.

"When is he bringing those files? Because we have to leave as soon as we can because it's getting dangerous out here!" I said. Oh, so that's why she was flirting with him to get those files!

"Tonight I hope so!" Viv mumbled. We didn't talk much after that. Viv fell asleep and I was just too busy organising my thoughts. As soon as we reach home I have to keep my distance from her or it will just end up with me pinning her down and kissing her. And then she will probably hate me forever which I want and at the same time I don't.

Forget it. I have much more intense things to think about and Viv is not one of them. Now I have to find Orson's brother and convince him to finish Orson once and for all.

I messaged the details to Sawyer and told him to find every single thing about Orson's brother. Now I just have to wait for a while.
