YBTM | Chapter 29
**Violet**
As soon as we were outside, Ted headed right for the SUV that was waiting. I knew this was the end and I was never going to see Mike ever again. I was not going down without a fight. I was still kicking my legs and punching Ted's back no matter how hard he dug his fingers into my thigh. Feeling him slow down. I knew we had reached the SUV. He placed me on my feet with my back to him as he placed his gun on my side.
"Fallon, get the door." Ted ordered as he tried to stop me from struggling.
"No!" I screamed as I thrashed in his hold. I lifted my foot and brought the heel down hard on his foot, causing him to lean forward and grunt in pain.
"You're going to pay for that you slut." He gritted in my ear as he tried to catch his breath.
"I'd like to see you try." I swung my elbows back, trying to hit him on his sides.
"I've had enough of you!" He growled, moving the gun to my chin. I stilled for a moment, contemplating whether it would be worth it. I knew it would get me away from him, but the thought of leaving everyone else had my mind fighting with my heart.
"That's my girl." He whispered in my ear once he felt me still.
I was trying to buy some time for Mike to catch up with us. I was hoping and praying he would and what went down was all just a ploy.
"Now..." He pulled me closer to him. "...time to go home." He whispered in my ear.
I was waiting for Fallon to open the door when I heard a gun cock. My heart rate picked up and I knew this was it. I was never going to see anyone I loved ever again. Only, I felt Ted stiffen behind me. He slowly turned us around to face Fallon and that is when I saw it. Fallon had his gun raised and pointed at Ted. My eyes went wide as I looked at him in shock.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Ted spat as he raised his gun and pointed it at Fallon. The whole time, Ted kept me in front of him like I was a human shield.
"Oh, Ted." Fallon laughed darkly as he stared into Ted's eyes. "You were so blinded by your lust and obsession for Violet, you didn't notice what was going on right in front of you."
"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Ted yelled. "I know exactly what has been going on and now I have finally found the mole."
"Who? Me?" Fallon pointed to himself with his other hand. "Nah." He shrugged. "But it is someone you know and who you are very close to."
"No one would ever betray me! They all know what would happen if they ever did!"
"Yet, they still went behind your back and sold all your missing shipments to your rival."
I could feel Ted start to shake in anger and knew this was not good. When he was pissed, it was not pretty and now he has a gun. I knew someone was going to die and I was praying it was not me or even Fallon.
"You know who it is, don't you?" Ted's hand was shaking, he was so angry. His hold on me got tighter and it was getting harder to breathe. I wish they would get this over with.
"Of course, I do." He smirked evilly. I really wanted to know who it was, but at the same time I didn't care.
"Spit it the fuck out then!"
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet. You're the one that trusted him enough to leave him alone with Violet so many times."
Okay, that got me. My eyes went wide as my mouth hung open. Ted was so pissed that he was still for the moment. I can't believe it was him this whole time. I knew something was up when he was coming out of Ted's office when he was not around. I just thought it was normal, but I guess I was wrong.
"Ted!" We heard someone coming from another direction and we turned our attention in that direction.
"You motherfucker!" Ted spat as he turned the gun on Cody and pulled the trigger.
Cody went down as soon as the bullet entered his left shoulder. Ted then swiftly turned his gun back to Fallon.
"After I get done with you, I'll finish with him."
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, we heard the bushes moving from where Cody came from. I looked up in hope of finding Mike coming, but to my surprise, it was Alex.
"Alex!" I shouted as he raised his gun and pointed it at Ted.
Ted pointed his gun at Alex, then Fallon, not knowing who to shoot first. I heard footsteps coming up behind us and heard Ted's men joining us. Just as they showed up, Mike and the rest of my father's men came out through the door. I sighed in relief when I saw them, but that was short-lived when the first shots started going off.
**Alex**
I kept a close eye on the direction that fucker went. He was going to pay for everything he did to Vi and Ana in the past and for what he did to Nicole. I could hear her frantic voice through the earpiece, but I did my best to tune it out. I knew Mike had things handled back in the main room and now it was my turn.
"Alex, please be careful!" Nicole choked out over the earpiece.
It hurt that she was upset and fearful, but I had faith in our men. Once we got rid of the 'source' Mike had, everything was good. We had no more moles in our organization and now it was time to end things.
I could see his shadow on the wall as I followed at a safe distance. I kept my back on the wall and my head on a swivel. As soon as I saw the light, I knew where he was heading. When I stepped outside, I heard shouting, then the sound of a gun going off. I paled thinking it was Vi or one of our men. I carefully made my way out the door and through some bushes. As soon as I saw them, Vi called out to me. I watched as that asshole pointed his gun between me and Fallon. I saw more of his men show up and cursed myself until I saw Mike from the corner of my eye. As soon as Mike and all our men were out the door, all bets were off, and the war began.
