Realistic or Modern South Side Rivalry

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head watching him. “No please rocky I can’t be here. Not like this.” She begged him quietly, trying to go after the car but she shouldn’t have been stood up yet anyway and she passed out on the front porch again.

he smiled somr and wk led at her before he let her go, watching her all the way before going to sit at his desk again to start getting ready for the final stage of the takeover.

Theresa came out when she heard a banging at the door and screeched seeing Carmen there. She yelled for her husband to pick her up before taking her inside to get her cleaned up.

Lilith said goodbye to him walking to the bus stop and making her way home. As she got inside and saw her sister on the couch she gasped wondering if this is what Pedro meant by it being dangerous "What happened?!"

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned now sitting up with some tea in her hands not saying a word until Lilith got home. “Nothing happened. It was an accident.” She mumbled not wanting to start telling her family what Clayton had been like recently.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith frowned shaking her head some as she rushed to her sister's side "Carmen please...what happened?" she begged feeling tears well up in her eyes. She was scared to death for her sister right now "Carmen stop defending him! Look what he did to you!" she yelled when Carmen just shook her head "What happened to you huh?! You never would have tolerated this years ago!" she said letting her tears fall freely down her cheeks.

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head and glared at max when their mother started clocking on to what she was saying and soon was asking if Clayton had been hurting her like this. “I don’t think you have a clue what’s been going on on my side of the city the past couple years.” She muttered frowning

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith shook her head more at her and sighed heavily "Yeah because you've been hiding it! Carmen they're going to kill you! Why won't you leave?!" she begged shaking her head again before she went off not wanting to hear about it anymore. She knew Carmen would never leave Clayton, no matter how much she begged or how much he beat her.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned shaking her head at max dropping that bomb in the conversation then walking off, just feeling disappointed and really sore all over, getting up carefully to go to bed, still not feeling one hundred percent anyway, she’s be going home first thing in the morning anyway.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Theresa followed Carmen and sat at the edge of her bed giving a heavy sigh "She doesn't understand that life....I'm glad she doesn't, I'm so sorry we didn't get you out sooner." she said quietly wiping her eyes some "I know...I know you love him, but Carmen please be careful okay? And know you always have a safe place here." she whispered before leaving the room. She had never spoken much about her past before she met their father, but she had been in the same situation as Carmen and she had gotten out after her old man at the time had been offed.

 

[decadent-rider]

First thing in the morning carmen was getting up and making her way out of the house to get home. She’d been awake most of the night thinking over what her mom had said and now she was ready to give Clay an ultimatum, getting home after an hour long walk as the sun was rising but frowned seeing a car speeding out of their drive just walking a little quicker and gasped seeing the front door left wide open. “Clay?!” She called quickly as she got inside. “Clay where are you?!” She asked quickly worried sick about him now.

Pedro was waking up to a phone call and went to his office, answering and smirked some listening to the confirmation down the line “well done gentlemen. You can come to my office this afternoon.” He assured them, taking a cigar out and lighting it in celebration.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith got up early that morning and made sure she wore her best makeup and jewelry for her dinner tonight. She left a note to her mother explaining she would be home late and quickly made her way to the office smiling some as she walked in seeing Pedro in a cheerful mood smoking a cigar "Whats got you in such a happy mood this morning?" she asked happily

Clayton laid in the kitchen barely breathing at all his head cracked open and blood was splattered all over their nice tiles. He had two bullet wounds and wouldn't make it much longer if he stayed there. He groaned some hearing Carmen but soon blacked out from blood loss once she got into the kitchen.

 

[decadent-rider]

She got in there and screamed as loud as she could though with how much her throat had swollen it wasn’t much, running over to him and just tried to see what she could do. He’d been hurt before but never this bad. It had always been manageable for her but this was something much worse, she started taking his shirt off and trying to press that to where he’d cracked his head but then saw the bullet wounds and ran to grab towels, using the knowledge she did have to get pressure on all of it to try her best to stop the bleeding. “You’re gonna be okay, you’re gonna make it for me Clay I promise. It’s gonna be okay.” She whimpered, taking a look at his head and frowned some. That needed cleaning and stitches. She knew how to do that. She was lucky his skull wasn’t open or she would be having worse problems but she left him for a moment to go and grab her sewing things and some vodka, rushing back to help him.

he turned to look at her and smiled “Well we’re celebrating today... early this morning my last big problem was squashed. Competition taken out.” He grinned opening his armsout and stood up, walking over to her. “I have a few meetings today. Anyone that arrives, send them straight in here.l he told her, kissing her softly “and tonight we have our fun.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded softly wondering what competition he might have meant. She smiled some and kissed him back swaying with him "Mmmm I can't wait." she said softly running her fingers through his hair some "When is your first meeting?" she asked

Clay twitched some as she poured the vodka on his head but he still wasn't fully there and was starting to fade fast.

 

[decadent-rider]

She was crying the whole time but stayed focused and after a couple hours had managed to at least get the bullets out and his head stitched, the bleeding had slowed down dramatically now and she was ready to move him to their bedroom, taking her time but staying determined she eventually got him up there and on their bed so she could keep him more comfortable just sitting there quietly with him so she would be aware of the tiniest change.

he smiled a little watching her. “Soon. They’re on their way here no-“ he cut off when he heard the front door open and chuckled “They’re here.” He murmured, pecking her lips before having to pull away.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a small laugh and smirked at him "Aww and i thought we could have a warm up." She said letting her hand slip to his groin before she left without a word escorting the men inside. She didn't recognize them though, she had only known Ricky and he wasn't there.

Clayton woke up hours later groaning some frowning a bit "How....what....Carmen?" He asked quietly completely in shock that she was still there after what he had done last night. He frowned seeing how bad she looked and quickly looked away feeling like complete shit

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and moved closer to him from refilling the bowl with clean water. “Shh, Shh, Don’t try to get up.... oh I’m just so glad you’re awake.” She whimpered a little and gently wrong the flannel out before getting cool water on it again and laying it across his forehead. “I came home... you were on the floor, the kitchen is a mess... you hit your head really hard and you were shot and.... oh god I was so scared you we’re gonna die on me.” She whimpered gripping at his hand gently.

he groaned a bit but sat down at the desk and smiled as they all walked in. “Well done gentlemen, I have the rest of your payments here with me today.” He assured them and went to pull out the briefcase, putting stacks of money in front of each of them again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton frowned more taking deep breaths as he listened to her "I thought....I thought you left me..." he whispered out groaning as pain shot through him shutting his eyes tightly trying to relax some

Lilith smirked some and worked through the day. She went in a few hours later once he had finished up with the men and sat on his desk "So....for our date tonight...you said I needed a dress?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him

 

[decadent-rider]

“Shh, Shh I’m not going anywhere you understand me?” She murmured, gently cupping his face and stroking his cheek with her thumb. “Rest papí, get some rest you aren’t out of the woods yet.” She murmured, trying her best to keep the fever down but also make sure he wasn’t about to start bleeding again.

Pedro looked up at her and smiled, nodding towards his couch. “That box. Go try it on.” He told her with a wink and sighed happily as he watched her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton grunted softly and nodded some taking her hand in his wanting to know she was there still

Lilith smiled wide and went to try it on. She came out in the beautiful black dress with red floral print and smiled wide at him "Pedro its beautiful..." she said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She gave his a gentle squeeze and quietly hummed to him while she sat there.

he smiled at her. “Perfect size too.” He murmured. “I’m ready when you are beautiful.” He told her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

-6 Months-
Lilith lay next to Pedro at his home sighing happily as she traced patterns on his chest. His wife was out of town for a family event at the moment and she had all the time in the world with him right now. She had fallen head over heels for him now was in deep. He had treated her like a queen in their time together and now she only hoped that maybe he would leave his wife and they could be together publicly. She loved him, and she knew he loved her too.

Clayton sat at home watching TV rubbing at his chest some as it started to ache. He had made a full recovery thanks to Carmen and he owed her his life. He realized after everything how terrible of a person he had been to her and was slwoly trying to heal the wounds he had made. He knew his men had turned on him probably working for Pascal now but he wouldn't blame them, though what he didn't know is that they were the ones to try and kill him, he didn't remember any of it

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen sighed quietly getting some cleaning done in the kitchen before going to see him in the lounge and sitting down, curling in close to him. “You feeling okay?” She asked him quietly, resting her head on his shoulder tiredly. She had almost lost him but she wasn’t ready to give up on him her. She knew this was their last chance to get things together but she wanted to make it work.

He smiled and pulled her in closer, kissing the top of her head. “What are you thinking about?” He asked her softly. Since being with her he was happier than he’d been in a very very long tjme

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a small shrug cuddling in close to him "Pedro.....would you....would you ever leave her?" She asked quietly looking up at him and cupping his cheek gently. She hadn't really brought it up before but she knew how miserable he was with his wife

Clayton wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head "Chest aches some." He murmured keeping her close to him "You need anything? Need to go anywhere?" He asked

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned sighing heavily and watched her. “Things are a little more complicated than that.” He explained softly to her, leaning into her touch a little.

carmen shook her head and smiled at him some. “No... I’m good handsome.” She told him quietly and rubbed at his chest in soothing circles. “I need to get you out the house at some point though.” She murmured gently. “doesnt need to be today... but soon.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a heavy sigh stroking his cheek gently leaning up and kissing him gently "I love you.." she whispered pressing herself to him just wanting to feel his body against hers. She wanted him to be hers, and one way or another she would have him.

Clayton nodded kissing her gently and sighed softly "I think your mom called earlier, I answered but she hung up after I said hello." he murmured watching her a bit "Why did you stay with me?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded listening to him then turned to face him. “Clay, I married you because I love you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, and I still do, I’ve given you my final warning on the matter of you beating me. It happens again and I’m gone and you will never hear from me again.... but good luck finding yourself a woman who’s gonna do everything I do and love you like I do.” She winked at him, kissing his cheek.

he hummed in response, nuzzling his face into the top of her head. “Love you too.” He mumbled tiredly, closing his eyes to get some sleep and relaxing to the feeling of her in his arms.
