Chapter Text
Nyx was at home minding her business, cleaning up the house a bit, knowing that the next morning, she was going to have a big day with everyone gathering at Abuelita’s house. Letty had been lecturing her on how she should be there, and she was considered part of the family. Nyx was just putting the dishes away, when her phone started to ring.
“Please tell me this isn’t Letty lecturing me on how I should be at the cookout tomorrow. I already said that I would go,” Nyx said, causing the other person on the other line to laugh.
“I’m so saying something to Letty tomorrow,” Mia said.
“Mia, you do something like that, and I might just leave the celebration early. I’m a grown ass woman who still gets lectured for almost everything,” Nyx vented.
“Oh, calm down. It was just a joke. Besides you know you wouldn’t leave early. You hate the idea of disappointing Jakob,” Mia joked.
Nyx rolled her eyes. “I have no interest in Jakob like that. All he is is a friend. I also tolerate him for you and my brother-in-law. So don’t go making assumptions.”
“It was only a joke Nyxie. Is everything alright? You sound a bit stressed out. Does this have anything to do with what happened a few nights ago,” Mia asked.
“I’m fine. I’m just trying to figure out what to make for the cookout. It’s a bit hard when Abuelita doesn’t tell you what she wants you to bring,” Nyx said.
“Just bring some desserts. There is always room for a Nyxie dessert,” Mia said.
“You’re wanting something. What is it,” Nyx asked.
“I miss your Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes. Mind making a batch for me to bring over,” Mia asked.
“Is that all,” Nyx asked.
“Well, now that you mention it, would you mind coming over to my house one night and make Italian? I would really appreciate it,” Mia said.
“You only like having me live close because you love my cooking,” Nyx said.
“Hey, I’m not the only one, Letty does too. And having you around to cook when we don’t want to comes in handy,” Mia said.
“Just for that, I will think about your request. Have a goodnight,” Nyx said before hanging up while shaking her head at Mia. Nyx finished cleaning up the kitchen, putting dishes away, all while feeling like someone was watching her.
It was a feeling that Nyx had been having for quite some time now. It’s that very feeling that Nyx couldn’t shake as much as she wanted to, even though she keeps trying.
Uh, I hate the feeling of being watched. But every time I look around to see if there is anyone standing there watching me, I don’t find anyone. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. That’s all. Maybe a good night's sleep will help make me feel better, Nyx thought as she was making her way out of the kitchen turning the lights off. As Nyx was making her way to the steps to head to bed, there was someone at her front door, knocking on it, causing Nyx to stop in her tracks, causing her to freeze up and look at the front door.
Slowly Nyx made her way towards the door cautiously. Who the hell is paying me a visit from this time of night? Everyone I know is home, most likely asleep for the big family gathering tomorrow at Abuelita’s house, Nyx thought to herself as she made her way to the front door. Nyx looked through the peephole of the door, making sure that there was nobody sketchy lurking around her door. Nyx did this for a few minutes, finding nobody standing there. Once she deemed it safe, Nyx opened the door, only to find a note hanging on the front door. Nyx grabbed the note off the door, closing and locking it before opening the letter, which only caused Nyx started having to have a panic attack. No. How the hell did he manage to find me? I have been so damn careful as to making sure that I didn’t give any hints or clues as to where I live. Is it possible that he has been stalking me, or has some of his men following me, as well as watching my every move? If they are watching me, I don’t need to put Abuelita and everyone else in danger by attending the cookout tomorrow. Letty is going to be disappointed if I don’t attend, but I can’t put everyone at risk because I have a stalker. I have to do anything and everything I can to keep all of my family safe. I may even have to consider moving out of my house and find a new home to keep the rest of my family safe. I don’t know. Maybe I should just head to bed and get some sleep, and really think about my options before I make any hasty decisions. Maybe when I wake, I will have a clear head, Nyx thought to herself as she made her way up the stairs to her bedroom.
Little did Nyx know, the person who had left the note on her front door, was hidden, watching as Nyx opened the door, grabbing the note off her door before she closed it. Oh little dove. Did you think that I would let you walk away from me that easily? Especially after I had done some digging around and found out that you are the sister-in-law to Dominic Toretto. I’m not going to let the only connection to Dom that I can use to my advantage. The only one that I can use to get back at Dom. I just need to work to gain her attention and convince her that I’m a good person who will treat her like a queen. Only then I can get a bit closer to Dom and his family and find a weakness, that I can use against him, the person thought to themselves while watching the house closely. The person sat there watching as the house until the bedroom light had gone out.
“Sleep tight my little dove. I will be meeting up with you again soon,” the person said before starting the car up, pulling away before anyone could spot the person’s car parked outside of Nyx’s house.
The next morning Nyx woke up and laid there in the bed staring at the ceiling. Thinking about her options of whether or not she should go to the cookout. Nyx was brought out of her thoughts by her phone ringing.
Nyx rolled over in her bed ignoring the ringing phone. I don’t have the time or the patience to deal with Letty lecturing me, Nyx thought to herself.
Letty hung up the phone growing frustrated that Nyx wasn’t answering her phone again.
Dom walked up behind Letty seeing that she had grown quite frustrated. “I take it that you are growing frustrated because you are harassing Nyx again, and she is ignoring your calls.”
“Don’t be funny Dom. This is serious. I have been asking Nyx if she would be coming to the cookout. Abuelita would be upset if Nyx misses out on the cookout. She always has a family cookout when we’re all available to attend. I don’t need Nyx skipping this,” Letty said getting ready to go over to Nyx’s house.
Dom was quick to stop Letty from marching out of the house, making her way to Nyx’s house. “How about you stay here and get things ready. Also make sure that Brian is ready for the cookout later.”
“And where the hell do you think you’re going,” Letty asked growing a bit annoyed with her husband.
“Calm down Letty. I’m going to head to Nyx’s house to talk to h er. If there is something bothering Nyx, she will most likely talk to me about what's going on with her. If you go over there and give her an attitude about what is going on, Nyx may not be as open with you as she would be open with me,” Dom explained.
Letty let out an annoyed sigh. “It’s annoying that you can always get Nyx to open up to you so easily.”
“Nyx would open up to you just as easily, if you hadn’t been so uptight with harassing her about certain things that you don’t need to be so stressed about. Maybe if you back off a bit, Nyx would talk to you more,” Dom said.
“I’m not sure what happened between Nyx and I. We used to be so close with one another. Then Nyx decides that she needed space away from everyone. And she disappears for several years, before coming back and moving closer to all of us. It makes me wonder what happened during those years when Nyx needed that alone time,” Letty said.
“If you keep jumping down Nyx’s throat about every little thing, then she may never open up to you like you want her to,” Dom replied.
“Then what am I supposed to do,” Letty asked.
“Back off a bit and let Nyx come to you, when she’s ready to talk about whatever it is that is bothering her,” Dom said before walking out of the room, leaving Letty to her thoughts.
What happened to you, that you keep yourself so closed off from everyone now Nyx? You were never like this before. Why the sudden change, Letty thought to herself.
Nyx had just entered her kitchen tying her hair up, getting ready to start baking when she heard someone knocking on her back door. There was only one person who would always knock on her back door, knowing when she was in the kitchen. Nyx walked over unlocking the door, opening it spotting Dom standing there.
“Hey Nyxie. Mind if I come over for some peace of mind for a moment, or five minutes,” Dom asked.
“Come in. I was just about to bake a few things for the cookout. Was there something special you wanted me to make? I plan on making chocolate chip cookies for little Brian. Mia made her request for cupcakes,” Nyx said.
“The cupcakes sound good enough for me. Though I doubt that Brian will let anyone touch the cookies,” Dom said before letting out a laugh.
“Hence why little Brian is getting his own package of cookies. But enough about that. I know there is a different reason as to why you have come over here,” Nyx said.
“Letty has been worried about you. She says that you haven’t been the same after you decided to take some time away from all of us. She thinks that something happened that you don’t want to share with everyone,” Dom explained.
Nyx let out a sigh. “I keep telling Letty to not worry about me.”
“She only worries about you because she cares. We all worry about you because we care about you. That and you’re part of our family. Can you blame us for worrying about you,” Dom asked.
“I guess I can’t blame you guys for worrying about me,” Nyx said before deciding to talk to Dom. “Something did happen. Something that I’m afraid to tell Letty about, because she will only keep pushing me to tell her everything. And I’m not sure I can do that with her right now,” Nyx said.
“How about you tell me about what is going on. I want you to feel ready to talk to Letty about it, only when you feel the time is right,” Dom said.
Nyx walked out of the kitchen for a moment, before walking back into the kitchen with a note in hand. Nyx placed the note on the counter, sliding it across the counter towards Dom who read the note.
“Damn,” Dom said before looking up at Nyx with worry in his eyes.
“Now you understand why I’m acting the way that I am,” Nyx said.
Chapter Text
“Is that what has you worried,” Dom asked.
“What has me worried is me attending the family cookout. If I go to the cookout, I will be putting everyone in danger. I can’t do that to you guys, Dom. I’m at the point where I’m considering moving away so that way you and everyone else won’t be put at risk of anything happening to you guys. I would rather keep you guys safe than see something happen, because of me. And in order to do that, I have to move away from you guys again. Only this time, I don’t think I will be making a comeback,” Nyx said.
“Don’t say that, Nyxie. You can’t leave us again. Not after we just got you back. We can’t lose you again. Please think about the decision that you are going to make,” Dom asked.
“I will have to think about it. No promises that I will be hanging around. Please don’t say anything about this to Letty about this. I don’t even know what I’m going to do yet,” Nyx said.
“Are you going to come to the family cookout? It would be amazing to have you there, because we are still family,” Dom said.
Nyx tried to avoid Dom’s pleading look that he was giving her in hopes of convincing her to attend the cookout as well as convincing her not to move away. “I’ll make a deal with you. If you stop giving me that look, I will come to the family cookout.”
“I’ll take that as a start,” Dom said. “I’ll see you at the cookout later.” Dom got up from the stool and walked out the house leaving Nyx standing in the kitchen shaking her head at him.
I guess I should attend the cookout and continue to live my life like nothing is going on. Who knows, maybe it will not only get Letty off my back, but it may also help me forget that I have a potential stalker, who refuses to leave me alone, Nyx thought to herself as she went back to baking for the cookout.
After a few minutes, Nyx finished the cupcakes and had put them aside to cool while she got started on the cookies. When Nyx was grabbing the ingredients she needed, she realized that she ran out of chocolate chips. Damn it. I forgot to pick up the chocolate chips while I was at the store the last time. No big deal. I’ll make a quick trip to the store and pick some up along with a few essentials that I need in the house. I have plenty of time before the cookout, Nyx thought to herself as she grabbed her wallet and car keys off the counter.
Nyx made her way out to the car getting in just as Letty called out her name, stopping Nyx from getting into the car.
“Hey Nyx, you heading to the store,” Letty asked.
“Yeah. Was there something you needed me to pick up for you,” Nyx asked.
“Actually, I was hoping to catch a ride with you to the store. I don’t feel like driving myself. And Dom took Brian to Abuelita’s house to help her get ready for the family gathering,” Letty said.
“And what about Mia? Can’t she run you to the store,” Nyx asked.
“You know Mia hates going to the store if she doesn’t have to. She would much rather hang out at home and chill before the family gathering. Can I please get a ride to the store with you? Please? We used to be close to where we never had to beg each other for a ride to the store if one of us had to go, and the other didn’t feel like driving. What happened to that,” Letty asked.
“Times change as do people Letty. I mean look at you. You’re a married woman now. You’re a step mom to little Brian. There really is no room for me to be hanging around you like we used to. You started a new chapter of your life, where you don’t need me as much,” Nyx said.
“Don’t you dare ever say that again, Nyxie. You are always going to be an important part of my life. I’m always going to need you. Doesn’t matter if I’m now a wife and step mother. I’m always going to need my sister around to help keep me somewhat sane,” Letty said.
Nyx smiled at what Letty said. “Get in the car and let's head to the store. No funny business though.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” Letty said before climbing into the car along with Nyx.
Nyx pulled out of the driveway and started making her way to the store, thinking about what Letty had told her. I am in the wrong for keeping secrets from Letty, but all I want to do is keep her and the others safe. But it’s also driving a huge wedge between my sister and I. The very sister with whom I always considered to be a true friend, who would bail me out of jail, just like I would do for her should either of us get arrested. Maybe I should tell her what’s going on, that way she’s not left worrying about me all the time, Nyx thought to herself.
“Letty, I’m sorry for the way I have been acting and speak to you lately. I thought that keeping to myself would keep you and the others safe from harm,” Nyx said.
“Nyxie, you know you can talk to me about anything. I won’t judge you. You know that,” Letty said.
“I know. The only reason I have been keeping to myself and not talking to anyone is because I’m scared. I’m afraid that if I say something to any of you, that you will get involved in my problem. I don’t want that for any of you guys. If I have my way, I would continue to keep quiet and keep you guys safe,” Nyx said. “But I also know that by keeping quiet you are freaking out and worrying about me more than you should. Letty you should be worrying about your husband and your kid.”
“I’m also going to worry about my sister who has been by my side through thick and thin. Please don’t keep me in the dark anymore,” Letty said.
Nyx sighed before deciding now was the best time to tell her sister. “I’m being stalked. Before you freak out and start asking me a million questions, no I don’t know who it is or why. All I know is that I have someone following my every move. Which is why I have been keeping to myself so much. It was also the reason why I was seriously contemplating whether or not it would be wise for me to show up at the cookout today. I don’t want to put everyone else at risk if I’m being followed by someone dangerous.”
“Nyx, you know you don’t have to go through this alone. You shouldn’t have to. You also shouldn’t let what is happening to you keep you from living your life. Don't let some lose, who doesn’t have the ball stop approach you, make you feel like you have to shut yourself away from the world, let alone your family. Don’t let this loser keep you from having fun today. Should this person get mad, then let them. You are your own person and you need to live your life to the fullest. Don’t let anyone keep you from doing you,” Letty said as Nyx pulled into the parking love, parking the car.
After Nyx parked the car, she turned to at Letty. “Thanks for the talk, Letty. I truly needed it.”
“I’m also sorry for not being so understanding to your reason of why you were pulling away from everyone,” Letty said.
“All is forgiven. Now let’s put all of that behind us and get what we need from the store, because I refuse to disappoint my nephew by not having his batch of cookies ready for him,” Nyx said.
“Please tell me you made cupcakes,” Letty asked.
“Got you covered. Mia called me last night requesting that I make them and bring them to the cookout. She also wanted me to go to her house one night and cook her dinner,” Nyx said before she and Letty got out of the car.
“Can you blame her for wanting you to cook dinner one night? You work wonders in the kitchen. Maybe you won’t mind hosting a sister date at your house, where you cook us dinner,” Letty asked.
“That is something I have to think about, unless you and Mia plan on cleaning up the dishes as payment for me cooking,” Nyx said.
“That is something I have to speak to Mia about. So, let me get back to you on that in a few hours,” Letty replied causing Nyx to laugh as they entered the store together.
Little did Letty and Nyx know, there was someone watching the two enter the store together. Oh, little dove, it’s good to see that you are out and about. It was making me a little sad that you weren’t going out as much, or spending time with your family. I would love for you to go out and spend as much time with your family as possible. Because soon you will be with me and we will be creating our own family together. Everything in the plan is falling into place, the person thought before driving off.
Nyx and Letty grabbed everything they needed, paid and headed out to the car while sharing a laugh together.
“It feels good to be able to laugh and talk to you again, Nyxie. Everyone was beginning to worry about you...including Jakob. He keeps asking Dom if you are being social with everyone again,” Letty said as she and Nyx got in the car.
Nyx shook her head at what Letty had told her. “Jakob is going to be the very reason why I end up in an asylum. Because he’s constantly looking for ways to drive me up a wall. I bet you he was only saying those things to Dom, that way Dom would say something to me to convince me to hang around everyone again.
“Jakob means well. That and he’s quite fond of you,” Letty teased.
“Never insinuate that Jakob and I will become a couple. It’s never going to happen. I have other things to worry about, like getting dessert done before the cookout. Want to stay at my house and help me bring everything over when it’s time for the cookout?”
“I would love that. It will be like old times,” Letty said.
“That it will,’ Nyx replied.
Few hours later
It’s the time where everyone started gathering together at Abuelita’s house, getting ready for a night of fun and family.
“Looks like we should be getting these over to Abuelita’s house now. Don’t want to keep Little B man waiting for his surprise,” Nyx said before smiling.
Letty noticed the smile on Nyx’s face. “You really have taken to Dom’s son, even though he’s technically not related to you and I.”
“Doesn’t matter if Brian and I share the same blood or not. He will always be my nephew. Nothing will ever change that. Much like Brian will always be your son. That little boy needs a mother. You were brought into his life and back into Dom’s life for a reason. Don’t you let anything happen to that little boy. If you do, I’m kicking both yours and Dom’s asses for it,” Nyx warned before grabbing the cookies, while Letty grabbed the cupcakes.
“I’ll be sure to warn Dom about what you said,” Letty replied.
“Good. I don’t want him saying that he was never warned,” Nyx said as she and Letty made their way to Abuelita’s yard.
“Oh my goodness, are my eyes deceiving me or is that my precious Nyxie who is approaching? How have you been? Even better question, why have you been avoiding all of us? You had us worried sick about you,” Abuelita said.
“I’m so sorry Abuelita. I was just in a bit of a funk. And it took both Dom and Letty to get me to see that I wasn’t doing anybody any favors by keeping myself locked away. Forgive me,” Nyx asked.
“Of course I forgive you, because you are one of a kind. Just like everyone else here. Which is a bond we all have that makes us family,” Abuelita said before pulling Nyx into a hug. Oh my precious Nyxie. If only you knew the truth, that you share a deep bond with Dom and his son Brian. One day I will have to have a sit down with you and we can have a much-needed talk, Abuelita thought to herself while hugging Nyx.
Chapter Text
“Aunt Nyxie is that you,” a voice asked from behind Nyx, causing her to pull away from Abuelita.
Nyx turned and spotted Dom’s son Brian standing there looking at her. “Little B man! I was wondering where you were. I almost had to give Tej your cookies.” Nyx pulled Brian into a hug causing Letty and Dom to smile at the scene in front of them.
Tej walked over to Brian and Nyx breaking them apart. “What is this I hear about cookies?”
“Mine,” Brian said before running off with the box of treats Nyx made for him.
Nyx laughed as Brian ran away with his cookies.
“About time you came out of hiding Nyx. I was wondering what happened to you. When I talked to Letty about you, she always said that you were avoiding her. Is there something that you want to share with me,” Tejs asked.
“Like what,” Nyx asked confused.
“Like if there is going to be a baby Nyxie coming along the way,” Tej asked wriggling his eyebrows.
“Tej in order for that to happen I need to have unprotected sex with a guy. So, no I’m not pregnant. Nor did I go for artificial insemination,” Nyx replied.
Dom overheard what Tej was saying. “Tej, are you still going around asking Nyxie if she’s pregnant? Don’t you remember how things happened the last time you started that with her?”
“Yes, I am. And yes, I remember what happened the last time. And you know damn well that it could happen,” Tej said.
“What are you guys talking about,” Roman asked as he walked over. “Hey Nyxie.”
“Hey Roman,” Nyx replied. Tej believes that I’m pregnant, which I’m not. I was explaining to Tej that I would need a male partner to get pregnant, since I refuse to go for artificial insemination.”
“Of course, Tej says something like that. Though there could be other reasons for someone to want to keep to themselves. But I don’t expect Tej to think of any other reason as to why someone would want a bit of time alone,” Ramsey said while walking over. “Are you alright?”
“I’m doing better now. Thank you for asking. Enough about me though. You guys do anything wild while I was in isolation for a bit,” Nyx asked.
“Same old. Did a few missions with Dom and Letty, when during one of those missions everyone thought that Letty was dead. But as you can see that she is very much alive. Though I did check the computer before coming here, and it looks like we have another mission coming up. What do you say Dom? Are you up for another go,” Ramsey asked.
“I’m going to have to sit this one out unfortunately. I have to think about my wife and son now,” Dom said.
“Who is going to lead the mission if not you,” Han asked.
“I will step up to the plate. This is my chance to prove to you all that I am capable of leading this group into important missions. How hard could it be,” Roman asked.
Dom gave Roman a look before Nyx spoke up. “You have nothing to worry about Dom. I’ll go along with them to make sure nothing goes wrong with this mission.”
“Nyx, I couldn’t ask that of you. You literally just started coming around again. Are you sure you want to head out on a mission right away,” Dom asked.
“I’m sure dom. Besides, it might do me some good to get out on the field with the crew again. You stay here with Letty and play house with her and your son,” Nyx said before smiling. Nyx turned to Roman. “So, captain, when are we heading out on this mission?”
“We leave tomorrow. Make sure you have everything you need packed, because we’re heading to Rome. And won’t be back until this mission is complete,” Roman said.
“You mean you won’t be back after the mission is finished. I might stay in Rome for a bit and do a bit of sightseeing, go visit some historical places. Dine over in Rome. And maybe return home after being away for a month,” Nyx said.
“You are planning on coming back home at some point, right? And I mean returning home before two months,” Ramsey asked. “You know if you go and disappear for three months, Letty is going to be upset.”
“I’m also a grown woman who is more than capable of making my own decisions. I don’t need any approval or permission to do what I feel like doing. I wish you all would understand that already and allow me to do me,” Nyx said growing annoyed with everyone.
“Nobody is telling you what do to Nyxie. We’re only trying to help and give you helpful advice. That and we don’t want a repeat of you isolating yourself again,” Letty said while walking over to Nyx trying to keep her calm.
“I am over this. You say you’re giving me helpful advice, but I feel that you are trying to control me all over again. I don’t like it and I refuse to take it this time, because last time it broke me until I almost didn’t come back. I’m done with this. I need to go home and get ready for the mission. I would like to be in a good mental state when I go,” Nyx said before walking away from a shocked Letty.
“Nyxie, what’s wrong dear? Why are you leaving so soon,” Abuelita asked while walking over to Nyx and the rest of the group were standing.
“I’m sorry to cut my visit short, Abuelita, but I need to go home and calm myself down before I lose it on certain people. I don’t want to do that to you, because that’s not how I do things,” Nyx explained.
“Will you drop by and pay a visit after you get back,” Abuelita asked.
“Yeah,” Nyx said. “You’re alright with me leaving for a while?”
“You need time to do you sweetheart. I can't make decisions for you. I have to let you live your life. Only you can make the decisions that make you happy,” Abuelita said before pulling Nyx into a hug.
Nyx hugged back feeling relief wash over her. “Thank you Abuelita, for being so understanding.” Nyx then pulled away from Abuelita turning to Roman, Han, Tej and Ramsey.
“I take it you’re leaving a day early,” Roman asked.
“I am,” Nyx replied.
“Keep safe and don’t do anything stupid. Don’t want anything happening to you before you have backup there to help you out,” Roman said.
“Don’t worry about me. You and the others enjoy the cookout. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Nyx said before walking away.
Nyx ran home quickly throwing a small bag together of essentials and some change of clothes, before leaving the house. She didn’t want to risk Letty coming over, stopping her from leaving. The whole point of Nyx leaving a day early was to get away from Letty as soon as she could.
Letty stood there shocked at what she heard come from Nyx. “I have to go and talk to her.”
“You will not do such a thing,” Abuelita said stopping Letty in her tracks.
“But if I don’t talk to her Nyx will disappear again,” Letty said. “She may disappear even longer, and I can’t have her doing that; not when I just got her back.”
“And you trying to make decisions for Nyxie all the time is what drove her to leave early. you are smothering her and not giving her the chance to breathe,” Abuelita replied. “Letty, you need to stop thinking that you can keep control over everything. Stop trying to control Nyxie’s life.”
Nyx made it to the airport boarding the plane feeling relief wash over her that she was finally getting away from Letty for a while. This trip is going to be worth staying for a bit of time, Nyx thought to herself.
Nyx landed in Rome, making her way to the hotel unknowing that someone was watching her every move. Nyx ignored it making her way to her hotel, with the person watching her until she was out of sight. Once she was out of sight, the person picked up their phone dialing a number.
Dante sat at his desk going back his plans, when his phone started ringing. “There better be a good reason why you are interrupting me as I am going over the plan for last minute revisions.”
“I thought you wanted to know that your girl arrived. Were you planning on her being part of this ‘mission’ that you sent to Dom Toretto and his crew,” the person asked.
Dante smirked at hearing that his little dove made her way to him. “Hearing that my little dove has made her way to me. This is quite the surprise. I was wondering if I had to go to my little dove, and convince her to come back to me. But this is all working out so beautifully. I can’t wait to be reunited with my precious little dove again. I have waited several months for her to come back to me on her own. But she never did. You don’t suppose she found out that I am the enemy of Dominic Toretto, do you? I can’t have her pulling away from me over that. I won’t allow it. I will make it known to her that I have no intention of using her against Dominic Toretto.”
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but why would she be so important to Dominic Toretto? Isn’t she only related to him by marriage because her sister married him,” The person on the other line asked.
Dante laughed at hearing that. “Oh Aimes, you make me laugh. Nyxie isn’t truly an Ortiz. She has no trace of Ortiz blood flowing through her. Nyxie is Dominic’s biological sister. But she was placed up for adoption as a baby.”
“How did you find all of that out,” Aimes asked shocked at what he heard.
“It’s called doing research and knowing where to look to find the answers that I am looking for, as well as getting a blood sample from the hospital for Dominic, His wife and his sister. Wonder how he would feel when he finds out that his sister and I had a few special nights together,” Dante said.
“You slept with his sister,” Aimes asked.
“It’s not like it was forced. We both got to talking, we danced a bit, ditched the club scene for some racing, in which she enjoyed watching me and acting like my personal cheerleader. From there he went back to my place and celebrated my victory with more than one round, if you know what I mean. Pretty sure during one of those rounds a bun was placed in the oven ready to bake. Oh, did she look round when she entered the hotel,” Dante asked.
“It didn’t seem like she was round. Though if you had relations with her the last time you saw her, which was a bit ago, she should be round with your child. Maybe she’s on birth control, or took a morning after pill. You know to prevent her from getting pregnant,” Aimes rambled on.
“Doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I have my little dove here and now. I can try again with her, and this time I know she will get pregnant with my child, because I can stop her from taking birth control as well as the morning after pill; which will result in a baby Reyes. then I can continue my bloodline and teach my heirs the way of my family,” Dante said.
“And what if Nyx wants something different from what you want? What if Nyx wants to remain childless? What are you going to do then,” Aimes asked.
“Oh don’t say that. Nyxie will want to have a family with me. She will realize that when she and I are together. Besides, I know Nyxie can't say no to me. So, if I talk to her and express how bad I want to have a family, Nyxie will say yes to wanting to have kids with me. And we will have lots of them. Just you wait and see,” Dante said. I just have to succeed in getting Nyxie pregnant before Dominic realizes that Nyx is his biological sister, and does anything to stop me from being with her, Dante thought to himself. “Keep a close eye on Dominic and the rest of his group. I will keep watch on Nyx,” Dante hung up the phone not waiting for a reply.
Nyx laid down on the bed, feeling drowsy from her trip. These trips always wear me out. But it’s worth it. I needed an escape from Letty telling me what I can and can’t do. Ugh, when is she going to realize that I am capable of taking care of myself? Even better question is she ever going to let me live my life without always feeling the need to breathe down my neck, Nyx thought to herself.
Chapter Text
The next morning felt like déjà vu for Nyx with her phone ringing, waking her from her peaceful slumber. Nyx rolled onto her back staring at the ceiling waiting for the phone to stop ringing so that she could get a moment of peace I really wish that Letty would stop calling me nonstop. I’m annoyed with her and need time to myself, Nyx thought. Soon the phone stopped ringing, which caused Nyx to let out a sigh of relief. The moment of relief though was cut short by a dinging sound, coming from her phone, letting her know that someone had left her a voicemail.
Uh, I’m not going not get any peace this morning. Let me go and see what it is that Letty wanted to say, followed by one of her many famous lectures of why I shouldn’t ignore her calls, followed by how I was rude for leaving Abuelita’s cookout early, Nyx thought to herself. Nyx waited five minutes before getting out of bed, to check her phone. When Nyx unlocked her phone, she was shocked that the missed call was from Ramsey. “Oh shit.”
Nyx quickly called Ramsey back, hoping that Ramsey wasn’t mad at her for ignoring her phone call.
“You’re still alive! O my god you’re still alive! Poor Ramsey was so distraught that she handed me her phone to answer it,” Tej said while keeping Ramsey from grabbing the phone away from him.
“Tej you liar! Give me the damn phone before I ask Nyx to kindly run you over with a car,” Ramsey said.
Tej gasped. “You wouldn’t dare. Nyxie, would you run me over with a car?”
“Let me guess, you took the phone away from Ramsey; and now she’s trying to take the phone away from you,” Nyx said.
“How the hell did you know? You’re nowhere near where we are. In fact, Ramsey was calling you to let you know that we are in the lobby of the hotel, waiting for you to get your ass down here. We have a bit of time before we have to head out on our mission, and Roman is being an ass,” Tej said causing Roman speak up in the background.
“Tej, it would be in your best interest to ge tyour bags placed in your room and get ready to head out afterwards. If this mission goes well, then we an head out to a bar of your choice and celebrate the success of the mission. Does that sound good to you,” Nyx asked.
“Yes,” Tej replied.
“Good. Now be a good boy and hand Ramsey the phone before she finds a way to get back at you for taking it from her,” Nyx warned.
“Oh shit. Gotta go. Here’s Ramsey,” Tej said before tossing Ramsey her phone back.
Ramsey shook her head while watching Tej run away. “I don’t know what you told him, but he is on the move.”
“I only told him that you would find a way to get back at him for taking your phone,” Nyx said.
“Of course you would say something like that to him. Please tell me that you have an extra bed for me to share a room with you. I don’t want to end up sharing a room with Tej. If I have to share a room with him, I might end up taping him to his bed,” Ramsey said as she made her way up to the room. Ramsey hung up as she opened the door, spotting Nyx standing there shaking her head while laughing.
Nyx stopped, only to giggle a bit as she walked over to Ramsey and gave her a quick hug before pulling away.. “I can see you doing something like that. Is it bad that I kind of want to see that happen now?”
“Maybe a little. It will have to wait until after we get his mission done. We need to be focused on that. We cannot half ass this, otherwise if Dom finds out about it, he won’t be too happy. Don’t want to see Dom angry. He can be pretty scary when he gets angry,” Ramsey said while placing her bags down on the floor.
“Oh I know. I don’t want to ever experience his anger personally,” Nyx said.
“I know,” Ramsey said while trying to figure out the best way to approach the next subject. The subject of what happened between Letty and Nyx at the cookout. “I know you probably don’t want to talk about this; and feel free to tell me off, but are you alright? I know words were exchanged between you and Letty at the cookout. You left the house before I even had a chance to see if you were going to be alright to come on the mission.”
“I’m fine. I need this mission. I need to prove to Letty that I can handle myself in situations like this. I’m just tired of her trying to make decisions for me. It’s like she waits for me to make a bad decision,” Nyx replied.
“Letty does what she does out of love and loyalty. We’re all family. We have to look out for each other,” Ramsey said, before Tej burst through the door looking around the room.
“How did you manage to get a nice room with an even better view than us,” Tej asked before Han walked in.
“Sorry ladies. Roman and I tried to tell Tej not to come in here. But as you can clearly see, he doesn’t listen well,” Han said.
“I have a friend who is always prepared and is on top of her game,” Ramsey said.
“Yeah? She’s my friend too. So, trade rooms with me,” Tej said.
“No. I called sharing a room with Nyx before we landed. You have a room with Roman and Han,” Ramsey said.
“Speaking of Roman, where is he,” Nyx asked looking around noticing Roman wasn’t with them.
“Getting ready to play leader,” Han said.
“That and he was afraid of Nyx losing her cool on him if he steps out of line with her. She’s the only girl that I know who can make Roman shit his pants. Not even Letty can do that and she has a bad temper when it comes to her limits being pushed,” Tej said.
“I keep saying it’s because it’s something to do with the fact that Nyx and Dom are always hanging out with each other; that or they are connected somehow,” Han said.
“Can this wait until later? We have something more important to worry about at the moment,” Nyx said while pulling out her laptop, pulling up the map of Rome, trying to figure out which street would be best for her to wait on to follow the metal truck that they were assigned to raid.
“Well, in that case, I’m riding with Nyx, Tej called out.
Nyx gave Tej a look. “Are you absolutely sure you want to go riding with me? I’m not driving a car.”
“I’m sure. If I can’t share a room with you, then I’m hitching a ride,” Tej replied as Roman walked into the room.
“Actually, you’re not. You and Ramsey are riding together. Nyx is going to be our girl who tails the truck and puts a tracker on it, that way we can keep track of where it goes,” Roman explained.
Ramsey gave Roman a shocked look. “You are aware that Nyx is one of the best that we have, right? We can’t afford to lose her if something goes wrong.”
“I’m well aware of that. Which is why she is the one going solo ahead of us,” Roman said.
“Yeah, are you also aware that if anything happens to Nyx, Dom will have our asses mounted somewhere on a wall, as he tells the story of how it all happened with a hint of pride thrown in there,” Tej asked. “What you’re planning to do is quite risky.”
“Everything will be fine. I was put in charge of this mission for a reason. It’s because Dom trusts me not to mess this up,” Roman explained.
“More like he got tired of you whining to him to the point where you were looking desperate,” Tej mumbled.
“I was not,” Roman said.
“Dude, you were five seconds from dropping to your knees to suck Dom’s dick. To prevent that from happening, he gave you what you wanted. So, keep your damn mouth shut and let's get this show on the road,” Tej said before he, Nyx, Ramsey and Han walked out of the room.
“I was not going to suck Dom’s dick,” Roman called out as he followed behind the group.
Dante did a little digging around pinpointing where his little dove would be waiting for his men to drive by. This is too easy. But I’m not going to stop...oh no. I happen to enjoy this cat and mouse game, my little dove. Soon though it will all come to an end, and we will be together like we had talked about during the time that we spent together before you returned back to your family. Oh, if only Dom knew the truth about you. He would never agree to have you come on this little mission, Dante thought to himself before being brought back to reality, by someone entering his office.
“You wanted to see us sir,” Nolan asked.
“I did. I want you to take the back route. It’s where my little dove will be waiting. I want you to drive by, lure her out of hiding. There is no doubt that she won’t leave her friends alone when they start the mission. She will continue to follow just to make sure they are safe. Such a caring little dove that she is. That right there proves she’s good mother material, that would go out of her way to make sure that those she cares about are safe and well cared for,” Dante explained. “Aimes, I want you to make sure when you stop the armory truck you don’t put my little dove int eh same car as her friends. I want you to put her in a separate car and bring her straight to me. I don’t think I can last any longer without love from my little dove. I went too long without her touch.”
“Don’t worry. Soon you will have her by your side. Then you won’t have to worry about anyone taking her away from you ever again,” Aimes replied.
“Nolan, you and Francisco get a move on. The sooner you get out of here, the sooner my little dove and her friends follow you. Then she will be right here with me. Oh, I should probably start getting things ready for her arrival. I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable; or feeling like this isn’t her home too. I want only the best for my queen when she arrives,” Dante said before setting off to prepare for Nyx’s arrival.
“Sure makes me happy when he’s in a good mood. Means none of us are going to worry about him getting trigger happy,” Nolan said as he, Francisco and Aimes walked away.
While Dante was getting the hideout ready for Nyx, he thought back to the day that her first met her.
Flashback
Dante was up on the balcony of his VIP room, looking down at the dance floor at all the swaying bodies of the group of people dancing and getting to know each other while doing so. Part of Dante has been nagging him about finding someone to settle down with and start a family. Though Dante knew that would be difficult. He would need to find a woman that was alright with his lifestyle; which he hasn’t managed to do yet. He was just about to give up when he spotted her standing at the bar alone. Why hello little dove. Why are you all alone? Doesn’t matter. You’re mine now, Dante thought as he made his way down to the bar.
Dante approached the unsuspecting woman taking a seat next to her. “Why hello there precious little dove. Don’t you know that it’s quite dangerous for you to be sitting at a bar all by your lonesome?”
The woman next to Dante turned to look at him, all while letting out a little laugh which sounded like music to his ears. “If you’re asking that kind of question, then it’s quite obvious to me that you don’t know that I’m usually one who enjoys flirting with danger. It makes life a bit more exciting.”
“I like you already little dove. Do I get the pleasure of knowing your name; or do I continue to call you little dove for the remainder of the night,” Dante asked.
“You can call me whatever you want. But my name is Nyx. What’s your name,” Nyx asked.
“I’m Dante,” Dante replied.
“Well Dante, why don’t I show you a good time? Got a private place we can go to to talk and get to know each other a little better,” Nyx flirted with Dante.
Chapter Text
Flashback continued
Dante was a bit taken back by what the beautiful woman had asked him. “I do have a VIP room all to myself.”
“No friends or a special lady to share that room with,” Nyx asked.
“None that caught my attention; well, that is until now. Would you like to accompany me up in my VIP room,” Dante asked.
Nyx looked around until she spotted Mia dancing with a guy. Guess she got a bit distracted on her way back from the bathroom. If Mia is gonna have some fun with a male friend, then I might as well let loose and have a bit of fun myself. “Looks like you have yourself a companion to join you in the VIP room. How much did you pay? I don’t feel right coming up and noy paying at least half of what you paid for your VIP room.”
Dante shook his head no. “No need to pay for half of the room that I rented of my own free will. I rented it out with the intention of inviting someone up. I was losing hope in finding a worthy companion. Well, that was until I laid eyes on you. So, please accept my invitation. I would be sad if a beautiful woman such as yourself would turn me down.”
“Lead the way to your VIP room. We can talk more up there, and maybe get to know each other,” Nyx said.
Dante grabbed hold of Nyx’s hand, leading her up to the VIP room where he was hanging out, when he spotted Nyx. Dante opened the door, gesturing for Nyx to enter the room. Nyx gave Dante a sweet smile before walking in with Dante following behind her, closing the door behind himself.
“What do you think,” Dante asked.
“I can see why you wanted to rent this room for the night. You have quite the view up here. That and you have so much privacy. Are you sure you don’t want me to chip in for paying half of the payment on this room,” Nyx asked.
“I’m sure. The way you can thank me for bringing you up here is, you can give me your name,” Dante said.
Nyx smiled. “My name is Nyx. what is your name?”
“Dante,” Dante replied.
“Dante...I like it. Eventually when I find the right man to settle down with; and I end up having a son of my own, I would love to name him Dante,” Nyx said.
“Maybe you’re in the presence of a man who would gladly do anything to make you happy,” Dante said while taking a step closer, wrapping his arms around Nyx.
“You don’t waste any time in making it clear as to what you want, do you,” Nyx asked.
“I don’t. I’m the kind of man who knows what I want, and I know exactly how to get what I want. And you are the kind of woman that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with,” Dante said.
“Are you absolutely sure about that? Because I don’t want to say things that you think I want to hear; just so you can jump in my pants,” Nyx said.
“I can assure you that I’m not that kind of guy. I’m the wone who sends flowers to a beautiful woman that I like, and would hope to settle down with, when the timing is right,” Dante explained.
“You were the one sending the flowers to my house,” Nyx asked.
“Yes. I was also the one who sent you an invite to here. If I’m being truthful, the reason why I got this room was so I could get some alone time with you, so we could get to know one another,” Dante said with a slight blush creeping on his cheeks.
“That is really sweet of you. Honestly nobody has go through this much trouble for me,” Nyx said.
“Well, you are a very special woman. And I would do anything to make you happy,” Dante said.
“You really mean that,” Nyx asked.
“I do. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have invested so much time, energy and money trying to make this blind date really special for you,” Dante said. “Even if you bring a friend along with you.”
“Oh Dante. I’m sorry for bringing my friend. I didn’t mean to bring a friend and ruin your planned date,” Nyx said.
“It’s fine. I know you probably felt the need to bring someone with you. Safety in numbers,” Dante said.
“You’re such a sweet man. Thank you for being so understanding,” Nyx said before pulling Dante into a kiss.
Nyx went to pull away but was pulled back into a passionate kiss. Dante pulled away placing his head on Nyx’s with their eyes closed enjoying the moment. “I apologize for moving fast with you. But I don’t want to run the risk of losing you to another guy. I know that I’m coming off as being forward about this, but I can see myself sharing a beautiful future with you.”
“Oh Dante. You are the only man who has ever said something as thoughtful as that. Are you just trying to get in my pants and add me as another notch under your belt,” Nyx asked.
“No. What I’m telling you right now, it’s the truth. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I have fallen fast and hard for you. Will you give me a chance at loving you,” Dante asked.
“Aren’t you afraid that we are moving fast,” Nyx asked.
“My father always told me that when you find the right person to love, you are never moving too fast. So, will you give me a chance to love you,” Dante asked.
“Okay,” Nyx said before Dante pulled Nyx into another passionate kiss. Dante wasted no time sliding his hands up Nyx’s shirt, fondling her chest a bit, causing Nyx to let out a slight moan of satisfaction. Dante took this as a sign that Nyx was enjoying herself and moved his hands down to her waist pulling her closer to reveal to her how excited she was making him feel.
“Do you see the things you do to me? No other woman could do this to me,” Dante said as he kissed up and down Nyx’s neck, causing Nyx to let out another moan. Dante smirked at the moan that Nyx let out. “It seems I’m not the only one who is excited. You’re just as excited as I am.”
“So, what if I am? What are you going to do about it,” Nyx asked.
Dante smirked. “You really want to know what I’m gonna do about it?”
“Yeah...unless you’re all talk and no action. If that is the case, I can go and find a man who isn’t afraid to act on his word,” Nyx said causing Dante to let out a playful growl, before walking Nyx back to the couch, pushing her down pinning her to the couch.
“You really underestimate me little dove. You believe that I won’t deliver pleasure to you? I’m hurt by your lack of faith in me,” Dante said feigning a sad look on his face.
“I’m sorry Dante. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings,” Nyx said.
“Don’t. I have a way that you can make it up to me,” Dante said while unbuttoning Nyx’s pants, pulling them down before working on removing his own. Dante stepped out of his pants, climbing on top of Nyx, positioning himself. Before Dante could penetrate Nyx, she stopped him.
“Dante wait, do you have protection,” Nyx asked. “I don’t want to risk getting pregnant. And I’m not on the pill either.”
“I don’t have any protection on me to wear. But if you want, I will pull out before I reach my climax. I will climax on your stomach if you would allow it. Are you willing to go along with that plan,” Dante asked.
“As long as you pull out before you get me knocked up. No offense, but I don’t want to end up pregnant right now. I have so many things that I still want to do. I have places that I want to travel to,” Nyx said.
Dante leaned in and placed a kiss on Nyx’s lips before pulling away. “Want to tell me one of the places you want to travel to?”
“I always dreamt of going to Rome,” Nyx said as Dante lined up with Nyx’s entrance.
“Maybe you would like to take a trip to Rome alongside me? It could be an experience for both of us. You know, a little something that we can bond over,” Dante said.
“I would really like th- Oh god! Oh Dante,” Nyx moaned out as Dante snapped his hips into Nyx’s hips. Dante grunted as he continued pumping in and out of Nyx. Nyx ran her hands up under Dante’s shirt, running her nails down Dante’s back causing Dante to go harder and faster.
After a while of going at it, Dante’s thrusts started growing sloppy as he continued to thrust into Nyx.
“Dante...Dante, don’t f-for-forget to pull out,” Nyx moaned out as Dante kissed and sucked on her neck, not really paying attention to what Nyx was saying.
“It wasn’t long before Nyx felt her orgasm explode all over Dante’s dick, which only encouraged him to go even harder and faster. Dante continued this until he spilled his seed inside of Nyx, forgetting to pull out of her. Dante thrusted a few more times into Nyx, before pulling out and pulling his pants up after fixing himself.
Dante then grabbed a napkin wiping Nyx down, before fixing her clothes, pulling her into his lap nuzzling her neck. “You are truly amazing; you know that little dove?”
“I know. I also know that you didn’t pull out of me like you originally planned,” Nyx said.
Dante pulled away from Nyx’s neck, looking her in the eyes. “Little dove, I know you have things that you want to do. And We shall do them together. Hell, we will travel all over the world together. I want to be the one to take care of you and your every need for the rest of my life. Will you be mine?”
“Dante are you absolutely sure about this? Because truth be told we are moving a bit fast. I even jumped right into sleeping with you. And that is not something that I normally do,” Nyx said.
“Then take it as a sign Nyx. take it as a sign that someone knows that we look good together, and that we can be a power couple. So, what do you say,” Dante asked.
“Can I have a few days to think about this before I give you a decision,” Nyx asked.
Dante grabbed another napkin writing his number down on it, before handing it to Nyx. “I want an answer in two days.”
“Alright,” Nyx said.
Present time
My little dove was quite clever to trick me when we were together a few months ago. But she won’t be pulling that same trick on me again. This time, my little dove doesn’t get say in the matter. This time around my little dove will never leave my sight. I refuse to allow her to pull another disappearing act on me. That and I really need my little dove by my side. She’s the only one who can make the emptiness in my heart go away, Dante thought to himself.
Nyx was in her spot waiting for the armory truck to drive by her, so that way she could follow it, and place the tracking device on it.
“How’s it going down there Nyx? Any sign of the armory truck passing by yet,” Tej asked.
“It’s boring just sitting here waiting. I haven’t seen anything drive by ye- scratch that. It’s coming my way now. Be ready to tail it guys, because it’s about to make its way towards you,” Nyx said before following the armory truck, making sure to get on the side of it, placing the tracker under neath it, before falling back behind the truck following it again.
it again.
Chapter Text
“Guys the tracker is in place. Be sure to get ready to make your move,” Nyx said while still following the truck.
“Alright. We have sight of the truck. Looks like they are coming our way,” Ramsey said. “Nyx are you sure it’s wise to still follow behind that truck?”
“Ramsey, I’m perfectly fine. I can do this. Besides I can’t leave you guys to deal with the truck on your own. You might need me to do something for you guys,” Nyx replied.
Ramsey saw the look on Tej’s face and knew he was going to say something stupid. “Don’t even say it.”
“Always playing the role of the hero. I always knew you had a thing for me,” Tej said.
“Tej, don’t push your luck,” Nyx said.
“Hey it was worth a shot,” Tej replied.
Ramsey rolled her eyes. “I told you not to say it. Like always you go and do the complete opposite of what everyone tells you.”
“Alright children, that’s enough fighting between the two of you. Mama is not there to keep the two of you from killing each other. That and if you ruin Roman’s time to shine, he will literally cry about it. And I happen to forget to stop by the store to pick up a box of tissues,” Nyx said causing Han, Tej and Ramsey to laugh.
“I don’t cry over everything. You keep talking like that, I’m gonna take you off this mission, Nyx,” Roman said.
Nyx laughed. “You mean you will make an attempt to take me off this mission. You seem to forget that I don’t listen very well.”
“That is true. You and Dom seem to share that stubborn streak. Are you sure you’re not related to Dom somehow,” Roman asked.
Nyx sighed. “Roman, we have one over this a million times before. I don’t know anything about my birth parents. Remember? I was adopted by Letty’s parents and was raised as a Rodriguez. I don’t know what is so hard to understand about that.”
Ramsey sensed that Nyx was getting upset and was quick to speak up. “Maybe we should focus on the task at hand. We don't need any distractions.”
“I agree with Ramsey on this. that and we don’t need to go digging around Nyx’s past. That isn’t any of our business,” Han said.
“Thanks guys,” Nyx said.
“I see the truck, and Nyx following behind it. It’s go time baby,” Tej said before he and Han followed behind Nyx and the truck.
Roman was reluctant to follow behind, even though he was a tad bit upset that everyone wasn’t taking him seriously as a team leader for his mission. Why the hell do I have to keep reminding everyone that I am the leader of this mission? Every time I keep saying it, they always laugh it off like it’s a joke. But Nyx says something, and they are all quick to jump to listen to her. Why did she have to come on this mission anyway? It’s not like I would do anything to mess it up. This is my chance to prove to everyone that I can be a good leader. I can’t allow Nyx to outshine me in my own moment. If only there was some way to make Nyx disappear, so that way I can prove I can handle this, Roman thought following behind everyone.
Roman watched as Tej and Ramsey knocked out the two people who were driving the armory truck, pulling them out of the truck before climbing inside of it themselves.
Dom was in his garage looking over the car that he had been working on for quite some time now. Dom was so wrapped up in his own thoughts, that he didn’t hear Abuelita enter the garage.
“Both your mother and father would be quite proud of the man that you have become,” Abuelita said.
Dom turned to look at Abuelita. “You really think so?”
“I know so. Your mother and father always supported you in everything that you wanted to do. They would love your son very much. He has so much of you in him,” Abuelita said. “Don’t let what happened to your son’s mother bring you down so much. She died protecting that little boy. Now it’s up to you to guide him down the right path, as well as continuing to keep him safe.”
“I am. I’m thankful that I don’t have to raise him alone. Letty loves being a mom. She has expressed some interest in giving little Brian a sibling or two. But part of me think that she is also using that as a distraction. She’s upset that Nyx has been closing herself off. Letty doesn’t understand why her sister won’t talk to her. And when she gets going, Letty doesn’t know when to ease up, or take the hint to back off a bit. I think at times, Letty tries to act like a mother to Nyx, which as you can see doesn’t go over well with Nyx,” Dom explained.
Abuelita let out a smile. “Letty tends to overdo it with Nyx. But there comes a time that we all have to take a step back and let a person grow. I can see that is all Nyx wants. She wants room to make mistakes. She yearns to learn a new lesson. Even through mistakes that she’s bound to make. It’s a reminder for all of us that we are only human, and that we should only do our best.”
“If only I can get Letty to see things that way. But it’s a bit difficult. I’m convinced that she will always play mother hen when it comes to Nyx,” Dom said.
Letty walked over to Nyx’s house, looking for the spare key she always kept hidden in a little box that said haunted on it. Letty shook her head remembering that Nyx was always fascinated by spooky things, and always set things up that would freak everyone else out. Letty grabbed the key, before making her way inside Nyx’s house. Letty made her way to Nyx’s office, seeing that Nyx was in such a rush that she had forgotten to shut down her computer. Letty walked over getting ready to shut down the computer, when Letty had noticed an email from a strange person, who wasn’t part of Nyx’s contacts. Nyx always had her contacts names or would give them creative names, that way she didn’t accidentally delete their email that they sent her. Huh, this is absolutely strange. Nyx always has her contacts labeled. But this one doesn’t have a label or even a nickname that Nyx would always give. I don’t think Nyx would mind if I delete it for her. She might have rushed out before getting a chance to delete it, though it looks like she’s already opened and read the email. Could this be contributing to Nyx’s strange behavior? I don’t think it will hurt anyone if I have a little peek, Letty thought to herself while sitting down, reading the email.
Letty jumped up in shock at what she read in the email. Oh my god. There was never a mission. This was a trap. I have to rush to say something Dom about this, Letty thought as she rushed out of Nyx’s house locking it before making her way back to Abuelita’s house.
Dom was enjoying his little talk with Abuelita, when his phone started ringing. “Excuse me Abuelita. I need to take this call.”
“Take your time,” Abuelita said.
“Dominic Toretto,” the person on the other line asked.
“Yes, this is Dom. What can I do for you,” Dom asked.
“You sent your friends on a false mission,” the person said.
“What do you mean? I received an email about this,” Dom explained.
“That is what he wanted. You sent Nyx on a false mission because he wants her where he could get her. He did this, because he wants her all to himself. But you sending your other friends, you put them in danger. They are only pawns in his game, that he is using to lure you out of hiding,” the person on the phone said, before hanging up.
Dom hung up the phone before turning to Abuelita with concern on his face. “Abuelita, I’m sorry to have to suddenly leave, but Nyx, Tej, Han, Ramsey and Roman are all in trouble. I have to get them before anything happens to them.”
“Bring them home safely Dom,” Abuelita said. “And you keep safe too. You have a son who needs you.”
“I’ll be back,” Dom said before running out of the garage. Dom spotted Letty and Mia standing in front of the house. Dom quickly approached them. “I need you two ladies to watch Little Brian. I have to make my way to Rome to save Nyx, Ramsey, Tej, Roman and Han.”
“Dom, what’s going on? Are the others alright,” Mia asked.
“I have a feeling that they might be in danger. The mission they went on is false. I have to get a move on to safe them,” Dom explained.
“No. You mean we have to get a move on. Dom we are a team. We are husband and wife now. Wherever you go, I go too. Besides, that is my sister that is over there in Rome right now. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happens to her,” Letty said.
“Let’s get a move on. Mia, do you mind keeping Little Brian safe for me,” Dom asked.
“Not at all. you guys go do what you gotta do. Know that Little B here is safe and sound,” Mia said. “Good luck you guys. And bring the others home safely.”
“Thanks Mia,” Dom said before he and Letty made their way to the airport to make their way to Rome.
After a bit of time Dom and Letty arrived in Rome, driving around looking for any sign of the armory truck.
“Hey Ramsey, Tej where are you guys,” Dom asked as he drove around.
“We just took over the truck,” Ramsey replied.
“Dom, what are you doing here? I thought you said you trusted me to lead this mission,” Roman said.
“That’s the thing. There was never a mission. This was all a trap to lure us out of hiding,” Dom said.
“What,” Ramsey said as the door locked themselves.
“Oh shit,” Tej said as he tried to open the doors. “The doors won’t open.”
“What,” Ramsey asked while trying to keep control over the steering wheel, only to lose control of it. “What the hell is going on?”
“Sorry for not warning you sooner. I didn’t want to ruin the surprise,” someone said through the coms.
“What do you want? Are you the one who is keeping the doors locked and controlling the truck,” Tej asked freaking out.
“I am,” the man said.
“Why are you doing this? We didn’t do anything to you,” Ramsey said.
“You are part of Dominic Toretto’s little group of hooligans that stole money from the Reyes family,” the voice asked.
“We were sent on that mission to retrieve that money from that mission. Why are you targeting my family and myself,” Dom asked.
“You don’t remember who I am, do you? You don’t remember? Do I have to refresh your memory? Because I gladly will,” the person said.
“What are you talking about,” Dom asked.
“I’m Dante Reyes. You killed my father as he chased you down to get our money back. You also made an attempt to kill me, but I survived. You took everything from me that very day. So, I plan on taking everything that you love and care about away from you, Dante said.
“Can’t we talk about this? We can meet up and talk about this man to man. I’ll even let you pick the place,” Dom said.
Dante thought about it for a moment before responding. “Now why would I want to do that? Did you think of talking to me about taking the money that my father worked hard to steal and maintain? My father worked hard at what he did just so we could gain that money that you took from us. I’m only beginning to make you pay from everything that you have done to my family and I. I’m starting with your friends and your darling sister.”
Chapter Text
“What are you talking about,” Dom asked.
“Aren’t you aware of the fact that Nyx is adopted,” Dante asked.
“Yes, we’re aware that Nyx is adopted. But she has no connection to Dom, except through marriage,” Letty butted in.
Dante laughed. “Oh my goodness you are hilarious. You really think that Dom and Nyx are not connected? Oh my goodness you are a delusional woman. Have you ever paid any attention to how Nyx acts? Do you not see the similarities in Nyx when you look at her? It’s obvious that she’s not truly your wife’s sister. Which s more proof that you need to believe the fact that precious Nyx is your little sister, Dom.”
“Dom don’t let this psychopath get in your head. He’s only trying to distract you from saving Tej and Ramsey from the truck,” Letty said.
“Oh, you think that I’m going to make it that easy for you to save both of your friends? You have another thing coming,” Dante said.
Dante released the bomb from the back of the truck, sending it out into the city of Rome.
“Oh shit. We were carrying a damn bomb in the back of the truck,” Tej asked.
“Not the time to worry about that. We have to worry about stopping that bomb, before it can destroy the Vatican. Because I’m pretty sure that this psychopath is going to blow it up and blame us for it,” Ramsey said trying to snap Tej back into reality. “Tej, if you we don’t stop that damn bomb, many people are either going to be hurt or killed. We can’t allow that to happen.”
“I’m on it,” Nyx said while chasing the bomb down, trying to keep track of it as it kept rolling through the streets.
“Nyx! What the hell?!? Do you have a death wish to go and chase that damn thing,” Letty asked.
“Letty, for one damn moment can you not act like a control freak trying to make decisions for me? I have said it many times before that I’m a grown woman. I don’t need you to try to tell me what I can and can’t do. If you have an issue with my decision, then take it up with somebody who gives a flying rats ass,” Nyx said. I don’t need Letty doing this to me right now. I hate it when she tries to play mother hen to me. I’m the same damn age as her, yet she is telling me what I can and can’t do. No more of that. I won’t allow Letty to get into my head, making decisions for me. I’m taking back control of my life, Nyx thought to herself while chasing the bomb, with Letty chasing her and the bomb.
What the hell is Nyx thinking, continuing to chase that bomb? It will kill her,” Letty tried reasoning with Nyx.
“Letty why don’t you just leave me alone. I’m a grown woman who is more than capable of making my own decisions.” Nyx snapped back at Letty before speeding away.
“Dom will you please do something; or talk to her? You seem to be the only person that can get through to Nyx,” Letty said.
“Letty why don’t you stop egging her on? She’s already annoyed with you. I told you that you need to back off and give Nyx some space,” Dom said while also chasing the bomb hoping that he can help prevent anyone from being killed. I can’t allow this bomb to go off by the Vatican. I don’t need this guy making the group and I look like we targeted the Vatican church. I won’t allow him to make me look bad and keep my family and I from returning back home, Dom thought to himself.
Dante watched the chase with the binoculars, enjoying watching the race to prevent the bomb from blowing up the Vatican. Dante couldn’t help but smile as he watched as Nyx defied Letty and continue to chase the bomb. Oh little dove, I do admire how you feel the need to help your friends, even though there isn’t anything that you can do to change the way things are. I need to make Dominic Toretto pay for everything that he has done, not only to me, but to the rest of my family. Dominic needs to learn that he won’t get away with all of the things that he has done to me. He won’t get away with taking everything away from me, Dante thought to himself.
Nyx watched as the bomb was about to hit the Vatican, when Dom managed to change the course of the bomb. Nyx kept her fingers crossed, hoping that Dom’s idea would work and cause the bomb to make its way to the ocean. Please, please, please work. Please let this work and spare the lives of the people who are in danger of being killed, Nyx thought to herself. Letty stopped next to Nyx watching as the bomb had gone off before both were surrounded by cops.
Letty took her helmet off throwing it on the ground, while Nyx took hers off, placing it on the bike giving Letty a glare for acting a bit childish.
“Do you think you can keep your anger under control? Because we’re already in enough trouble as it is. We don’t need you to get us into any more trouble,” Nyx snapped on Letty.
“We wouldn’t be in this situation; had you listened to me and not chased after that damn bomb. Had you listened to me, we wouldn’t have to worry about going to jail,” Letty snapped back.
“Oh don’t you dare go and make this out to be my fault. I wouldn’t have done any of this had you learned to back off. Had you not felt the need to constantly control everything in my life, then we wouldn’t be here. It’s because of you that I felt the need to get away from you. You always feel the need to constantly control everyone around you,” Nyx said all while fighting the urge to go after Letty, who was also fighting the urge to start a fight with Nyx.
Aimes noticed that Letty was getting ready to jump on Nyx and start a fight, so he stepped in front of Letty, turning her around, placing handcuffs on her, leading her to the car, putting Letty inside of it.”
“Sorry lady, but I’m not going to chance you attacking the other young lady. Should you have laid your hands on her, you would end up in jail for a very long time. Well, longer than what you’re most likely going ot be spending anyway,” Aimes said.
“Listen mister, that young woman that you are keeping me away from, is my sister,” Letty explained. Letty turned her attention to Nyx. “Nyxie, tell him. Tell him that we are sisters.
“Sisters wouldn’t be so controlling over the other, trying to run their lives,’ Nyx said. “What makes you think I want to help you? If I do that, you will only go back to controlling me again.”
“Ma’am do you want to press charges against this woman for attempted assault,” Aimes asked before putting Letty in the car.
“What’s the point in pressing charges? She will be out again, which is what I want. You see officer, I don’t want to see my sister go to jail. My sister has a husband that she needs to return home to. You know she has wifely duties to attend to,” Ny tried to reason with Aimes.
“Ma’am, I’m afraid your sister’s husband is going to have to wait a good long while before his wife can return to her wifely duties anyway. She’s going away for a while as it is,” Aimes said.
“Then no point in pressing charges. Though I don’t believe that you’re being fair to her. If she’s going to jail, then I should go along with her. She wasn’t the only one speeding down the streets, chasing that damn bomb. I was doing so as well. So go ahead and place the damn handcuffs on me too. But I must warn you, I won’t be a nice as you go to lead me away. I will make your job hell for you,” Nyx warned.
“Sounds like I will be in for a good time while you and I take a nice little ride together,” Aimes said while making a move to grab ahold of Nyx.
“Don’t touch me you sick perv,” Nyx said moving away from Aimes grip, beginning to make her way towards the car where Letty was sitting in. Aimes was quick to speak up causing Nyx to stop.
“Oh, you aren’t going to be riding alongside your sister,” Aimes said, causing Nyx to stop and turn to face him.
“And why is that,” Nyx challenged.
“Because the two of you threatened to beat each other to a pulp a moment ago. Don’t want to run the risk of that happening while you’re on the way to prison, causing a distraction to the driver, which would lead to an accident. Instead, you will be riding with me, leading the way to the prison,” Aimes said leading Nyx over to his car.
Aimes helped Nyx in the car before quickly shutting the door and making his way over to one of his men, leaning in to whisper in his ear, so that way only the man could hear him. “I’m going to take Nyx to Dante. He’s been waiting for her return for quite some time now. You take the other one to the prison where she belongs. One Dante spends a little time with Nyx, he will figure out what to do with them both.”
“Aren’t you worried that the other girl would ask questions about where you are taking her sister,” The man asked.
“If you’re that damn worried about being questioned, then knock her out. She should remain out during the drive to the prison,” Aimes said.
“And what about the girl that you will be transporting? Aren’t you afraid that she will do something to try and break free to save her sister,” the guy asked.
“If Nyx causes too much trouble as I transport her to Dante, I plan on making her take a little nap as well. Then when we get to Dante’s place, he can be the one to deal with her when she wakes up, Aimes said before making his way back to his car.
Nyx waited until Aimes was fully in the car with the door shut, before speaking up. “About damn time you came back to the car, cupcake. I was beginning to think that you were going ot make a move on the other guy. Not that I have an issue with that. I love to see young love blossoming and spreading through the air. Oh, when you and your piece get married, make sure you send me an invite, as well as a link to your wedding registry. I want to know what kind of gift to pick up for the two of you. Gotta try and keep it pg-13 since I’m sure there will be teenagers from both sides of your family attending. That and I don’t want to give the wrong impression.”
“That is not my lover, and you are not funny for saying that. Also don’t call me cupcake again,” Aimes said.
“First of all, the way you got close to that guy, it was quite enough to convince anyone that you are picking up what he was laying down. Yes, he was making it quite obvious that he was checking you out. Secondly, I’ll call you whatever the hell I want. You have no control over me. You’re not my husband or my boyfriend. And you sure as hell aren’t paying my bills, wining and dining me; or fucking me for that matter. So that means I don’t have to listen to you,” Nyx said.
“I am a cop who has you in the back of my car taking you to prison. Do you want more added onto your charges,” Aimes asked.
“No,” Nyx replied unaware of the fact that she wasn’t going to jail.
“Then behave yourself,” Aimes replied back.
Chapter Text
Aimes started driving Nyx away from the Vatican and drove a bit with his deputy following him for a bit before the deputy took a turn off the road that Aimes was driving on.
Letty had seen this and began to grow suspicious. “Hey...hey...hey! What the hell is going on? Where are you taking me? Shouldn’t you be following your buddy, who has my sister riding in the back of his car?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. We aren’t going in the same direction as your sister and my boss,” The cop said.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean,” Letty asked trying not to freak out at what she heard.
“You heard that right. Why are you acting so surprised by this anyway? It’s not like the other girl is your biological sister anyway,” The cop said.
“It doesn’t matter if Nyx is my biological sister or not. She’s still my sister. And it doesn’t matter what the hell you say. Now get back on the right road and start following your buddy,” Letty snapped at the cop who was driving.
The cop ignored Letty’s little outburst continuing on his way to his destination to drop Letty off. I can’t wait to drop this broad off. I don’t get paid enough to deal with women like this one that I am stuck driving to prison. Hopefully I won’t lose my mind, the cop thought to himself as he continued to drive to the building to drop Letty off.
Nyx sat quietly in the back of the cop car watching as the scenery went by, not noticing that the car that Letty was riding in was no longer following them.
“You’re awfully quiet back there. Are you planning my murder or something,” Aimes asked in a joking manner, trying to get Nyx to talk to him.
Nyx rolled her eyes at Aimes sad attempt at joking with her. “What makes you think that I would be dumb enough to tell you if I’m going to kill you? You’re truly dumb thinking that I would tell you what I would do, if I was planning on doing anything to you.”
“I’m only trying to get you to talk a bit. You’re too quiet and I don’t know if I trust what is going on in your mind,” Aimes answered honestly.
“I see. Do you honestly believe that I would think that you are being genuine when you could be scheming something behind my back,” Nyx asked in a sassy tone.
Aimes laughed at Nyx’s comment. “Oh you are a firecracker, aren’t you? I can’t wait until we get to our destination. I have someone who is dying to meet you.”
“Who is it,” Nyx asked.
“I can’t tell you. You are going to have to be patient and wait until we get to our destination to find out who it is that I’m talking about. I’m sure you will find the person to be quite interesting,” Aimes said.
“Can you at least tell me if this person is cute or not,” Nyx asked.
“Is this some sort of trick question to get me to appear as if I’m into men or something,” Aimes asked not realizing he gave Nyx a clue as to the person she’s going to see is in fact male.
Nyx gasped feigning shock. “I can’t believe you would go and accuse me of being up to something like that. You know how to hurt a girl's feelings, though thank you for confirming that the person is a male.”
“Damn it,” Aimes said under his breath for not catching his mistake sooner, before responding to Nyx. “You and I both know that what you said is a load of bullshit. You are only saying all that you are, because you are trying to get me to feel bad for saying it,” Aimes said back.
“Is it wrong,” Nyx asked with a smile causing Aimes to roll his eyes at her as he pulled up to the building that Dante was staying in.
“Thank God we finally arrived. I didn’t know the damn can of worms that I was opening while trying to strike up a conversation with her,” Aimes mumbled to himself as he got out of the car.
Aimes made his way to the back, grabbing hold of Nyx’s arm, pulling her out of the car.
“Hey! Take it easy. I’m still a human being who could bruise easily,” Nyx said.
Dante was pacing back and forth inside waiting for the arrival of Nyx. Though he couldn’t help but wonder if Nyx would remember him? Would she hate him? Would she go running back into his arms and give him many endless kisses? Dante’s attention was soon drawn to the voice outside the building. The very voice that he had fallen head over heels for. The one woman who could get him to do anything that she wanted him to, and the thing is Dante couldn’t say no to her. Dante rushed out of the building to see the woman of his dreams, standing there with cuffs on arguing with Aimes.
Dante walked over to where Aimes was talking with the woman who he was only dreaming about, since the last night that they had spent together. “Am I dreaming; or is this really real? Are you really standing before my eyes?”
Nyx turned her attention to the man who is now standing behind Aimes. “I’m sorry, do I know you? If we don’t know each other, I wouldn’t mind getting to spend some alone time with you, getting to know you better.”
Dante laughed while slowly approaching Nyx, all while looking her up and down; feeling the hunger that Dante felt all while Nyx was gone. “Oh my precious Nyxie. We know each other well. I guess you can even say that we got to know each other in a private room so well, that I had you screaming my name.”
Nyx blushed at what Dante said, remembering the events of that night very well.
Dante noticed Nyx blushing and smiled at the fact that he still had the ability to make his precious Nyx blush. “God, I love it when you blush. I believe that it only adds to your natural beauty.”
“What is it that you want, Dante? Because the last time you and I were alone, and you gave me compliments, things happened between us...things that I normally would never do with any other guy. But you...there was something about you that made me feel different. You made me feel ways that no other man has made me feel before,” Nyx said.
“Take it as a sign baby. This is a sign that you and I are meant to be together,” Dante said.
“Dante, you know I can’t do that. I have to go back home to the states to my friends and family. That and my sister and I have to fight the charges against us,” Nyx said before turning to look at Aimes. “Are you going to be a doll and remove the cuffs from my wrists, and drop the charges that my sister and I face? Because we really didn’t do anything wrong. We were trying to keep a damn bomb from blowing up the Vatican as well as keep thousands of people in the process.”
“You aren’t the one who is facing charges. Only your so-called sister as you continue to call her, is the only one who is facing charges. And she is doing some pretty reckless driving, so there is no way that I can just let your sister go as if she didn’t break any laws. So, there is no way that I can just let your sister go as if she didn’t break any laws. I’m sorry if you feel differently about this, but the law is the law. I can’t ignore the fact that she put many people’s lives were put in danger by driving on the sidewalk to avoid getting hit,” Aimes said while removing the cuffs.
“Then arrest me and allow my sister to go home. She has a family that needs her. She’s now a wife. Please don’t ruin her happiness. I will take her punishment instead,” Nyx pleaded.
“Oh Nyxie, I’m afraid that I can’t allow you to go and do something like that,” Dante said taking a step closer to Nyx.
“Why the hell not? It would work out better for everyone. Letty goes home to her family and stays there with them. I stay here serve her time, and Aimes here gets to keep his damn job,” Nyx said.
“Stop deluding yourself into thinking that you can come up with a happy solution that works for everyone. Besides that, you keep calling this woman your sister, but she’s not. Everyone of your so-called friends have been lying to you this whole time. you say that you would go to jail for a woman who isn’t even your darn sister,” Dante said.
“If you’re trying to say something about Letty and I being different from one another, then I already know that. I’m well aware that I’m adopted. I already had this talk with Letty’s parents as well as Letty a long time ago,” Nyx said.
“Do you know who your real parents are? Did they tell you anything about them,” Dante asked.
“Letty’s parents told me that they didn’t have a clue about my birth parents, because the adoption was a closed one. Which I have learned to accept. I accept that my real parents have their reason as to why they kept their information sealed. I can understand if they didn’t want me learning about something that would have put me in danger when I was a little girl,” Nyx said.
Dante couldn’t help but laugh. “You adopted parents lied to you. Because all the information about your birth parents is available for you to read. But they didn’t want to risk you looking into who your real parents are.”
“What reason would my adopted parents do that to me,” Nyx asked.
“Because they didn’t want you to realize how close you were to your biological family. That and it was stated in the condition to adopt you, your adopted parents had to keep your birth name that your birth parents gave you, which is obviously Nyx. Reasoning behind your birth parents picking that name for you is quite interesting as well,” Dante said.
“And what is the reasoning for my name,” Nyx asked.
“You were named after a famous singer only your parents changed the spelling of your name. Which is alright with me. I like the way your name is spelled. I think it suits you well. It’s unique, just like you my precious Nyxie,” Dante said before turning his attention to Aimes. “Why don’t you go ahead and take care of other business that needs your attention.”
“Are you sure you can handle this little feisty woman all alone? She’s extra feisty today,” Aimes warned.
“I can handle my woman. I know how to handle her. Don’t you have something else to go and take care of,” Dante said.
“If you change your mind, or need my help you know how to get a hold of me,” Aimes said before making his way back to his car, getting in and driving away.
“Dante, please you have to talk to your friend about releasing my sister from jail. Even if we have to make some sort of agreement for her release, Nyx said.
“You already have been told that that cannot happen. Your sister has broken the law. There isn’t anything that I can do to get your sister out of jail for the things that she didn’t think about before she did them. Your sister is going to have to pay for her actions that she didn’t think about,” Dante said. “Now we are officially done talking about your ‘sister’ which by the way, I keep telling you that she’s not your sister. Well, she’s your sister, but she’s your sister through marriage,” Dante said.
“How the hell is that possible? I told you that I don’t know anything about my birth parents, and that I consider Letty to be my sister,” Nyx said.
“Your birth parents last name is Toretto. That makes you the younger sister to Dominic Toretto,” Dante explained shocking Nyx.
“How...how long have you known about this,” Nyx asked.
Dante sighed before speaking up. “I have known about this for quite some time.”
“Is this the reason why you sought me out after you found out about who my birth parents are? You had known about my family and decided to follow me before you decided to make a move on me. You used me,” Nyx screamed.
“I didn’t use you for crap! Yes, you are related to Dominic Toretto, but that has nothing to do with me wanting to get to know you,” Dante snapped at Nyx.
Chapter Text
“How the hell do I know that you are being honest with me? How do I know that you aren’t just saying things to me to gain my trust after telling me that I’m related to Dominic Toretto? How do I know that you aren’t trying to lull me into a false sense of security, so that way you can use me to hurt him,” Nyx asked feeling the pain creep up in her chest. “Were you genuine when you and I met; or were you creating lies just to get close to me?”
Dante took a step closer pulling Nyx closer to himself, before leaning down kissing Nyx passionately.
Nyx was fighting with Dante trying to break away from the kiss with him, only to eventually give into the passionate kiss. Eventually both Dante and Nyx pulled away, looking into each other’s eyes.
“Don’t ever question my feelings for you again. My feelings for you are genuine. I don’t give a crap if you are related to Dominic. You may think that I’m lying to you about this. Heck you may not believe that my feelings are genuine. But the very night that we met all those months ago, I felt a spark with you. I felt things that I have never felt with any other woman. I have spent those lonely nights after you left, longing to find you and bring you back to me. The night that you walked away, I regret it. I kept thinking to myself that I should have chased you. I should have stopped you from returning back to your family in the states. I made a mistake by allowing you to walk away. If there is something that I learned when I allowed you to walk away, it was a huge mistake. It was a mistake that I wished that I had never made. It’s a mistake that I am not willing to make again,” Dante said.
“If you genuinely care about me, then you will let Letty go as well as stop tormenting Dom, Tej, Ramsey, Han and Roman. If you care about me, you will stop with this damn foolishness and move on from this,” Nyx said.
“Nyxie, you know I love you very much. I truly do. But what you’re asking of, I can’t do what you ask. I don’t know what you do know, or what you were told, but I can’t drop what I’m doing. Dominic Toretto destroyed my family. He stole everything from me. He stole a bunch of money that he didn’t have any business taking. If Dominic Toretto hadn’t stolen that money and left it alone I wouldn’t have to avenge the death of my father right now,” Dante explained. “You don’t have to like my reason for what I’m doing. You don’t have to agree with what I’m doing. But Dominic needs to be punished for what he had done to my father.”
“Dante holding onto revenge and hatred won’t do you any good at the end of the day. All of this bitterness that you hold onto right now, will only consume you and it will rob you of your happiness. Is that what you want,” Nyx tried getting through to Dante.
Dante thought about it for a moment before giving Nyx a response. “I’m sorry Nyxie.”
“What are you sorry fo-” Nyx was cut off when Dante knocked her out using the pressure point. “If you’re not going to help me with my cause, then I can’t have you standing in my way. Dominic Toretto has robbed me of the only family that I had left. I believe that it’s only fair that I go and do the same to him. I can’t allow him to get off free and not pay for his actions. Hopefully at some point you will understand and see things my way.” Dante carried Nyx up to a spare room, carrying her to the bed, placing her down before walking out of the room, locking the door and making the call to Aimes.
“How did your little reunion go,” Aimes asked as soon as he picked up the phone.
“It didn’t go as well as I had hoped it would. But there will be plenty of time later to fix that and make thing sup to her,” Dante explained.
Aimes picked up on the sour mood that was plaguing Dante. “What happened?”
“She’s not happy that I’m seeking revenge against her older brother. Ever since I told her the truth about herself, she’s now convinced that I only spoke to her, because her brother is an enemy of mine, and she thinks that I’m using her to get back at her older brother, as well as his little group of friends, who helped him on that mission that fateful day that I basically lost everything except my life,” Dante said.
“What are you going to do about Nyx? I doubt she would go and allow you to do half of what you have planned. She was pretty damn hell bent on going to jail for her own adopted sister, that way her adopted sister could return home with her husband,” Aimes pointed out.
Dante seethed at the thought of his Nyx going to jail for something that she didn’t do. Dante seriously couldn’t understand why Nyx would want to put herself in that kind of a situation. He knew Nyx was the kind of person who would give to others in need. But to want to put herself in jail for someone else to walk free? He couldn’t allow that. Besides, Dante’s father always told him never to put himself in that kind of situation. Doing so would be a foolish thing to do; and nobody else would put themselves behind bars to keep him out of jail, Dante thought to himself. Dante was soon brought back to reality when Aimes gained his attention. “Huh?”
“I asked if you were alright. You seemed to have zoned out a bit while I was asking what you plan to do with Nyx, because she seems a bit hell bent on going to jail for her adopted sister,” Aimes pointed out.
“I guess I’m going to have to take Nyx along with me when I go to attend business that needs my attention. Besides, it might do her a bit of good to know the kind of business I do. I would like Nyx to take part in the family business,” Dante said.
“And if she doesn’t want to take part in it,” Aimes asked.
“Well, Nyx is going to have to get used to being part of my family business. She’s also going to have to get used to it, because we’re going to have children together, who will help run the business until they are old enough to run the family business on their own,” Dante explained.
“You’re going to have a lot to deal with. Because it appears to me that Nyx won’t give in and accept your ways. She’s already proven that she won’t stop being loyal to her family and friends,” Aimes said.
Dante was growing annoyed with Aimes pointing out the obvious. “Don’t you have several other people you should be looking for, to throw in prison along with the one who is already there?”
“I’m working on it. But they have proven to be quite difficult to ind. They are resourceful. But I’m sure that with all good time, they will mess up, which will reveal where they are hiding,” Aimes said.
“I don’t care about what you do, just find them and put them behind bars. I don’t want any of them coming between Nyx and I,” Dante said before hanging up the phone. Nobody will come between my Nyxie and I. I will have her as my wife and we will have a family together, Dante thought to himself.
Ramsey, Tej, Han and Roman were sneaking around the backstreets, keeping an eye over their shoulders, trying to keep an eye open for any vehicles that belonged to authorities that may be lurking around looking for them to throw them in jail.
“Has anyone heard from Letty or Nyx,” Tej asked.
“Not since before they were taken away. I just hope that Nyx is talking her way out of this one. Maybe she can talk her way out of this and help Letty get out of jail and we can all return back home to the States and take a bit of a break from all of this. I know I could use a moment on the beach, soaking up some sun,” Ramsey said.
“Not gonna lie that sounds like a good idea right now,” Han said.
“Yeah, and Nyx would always find a way to surprise us and make it happen while giving Dom and Letty their own little private trip together,” Roman said. “Man, I was such an ass towards Nyx, thinking that she was trying to steal my moment from me. And she still put her ass on the line to try and make sure that I was kept safe during this whole mission.”
“Yeah, you did treat Nyx pretty shitty. All because you were being a little bitch boy, assuming that Nyxie was trying to take over being the one who leads this mission. Though I’m glad Nyx wasn’t the one in charge of this fake ass mission. Because if she were the one who was in charge of this sham of a mission, then she would be the one to blame for getting us into this mess. Then again Nyx would have been busy trying to figure out a way to get us all out of here and be reunited with our loved ones. We would have been home having a big celebration by now, celebrating that we made it home and found a bit of peace,” Tej snapped on Roman.
“Tej, keep calm. We can’t lose our cool right now. We have to get somewhere safe and try to figure out where both Letty and Nyx were taken; as well as try and get them back,” Ramsey said.
“How are we supposed to get off the streets, when we’re being hunted down? It doesn’t matter where we go, people who work at any hotel we plan on staying at would call the cops on us, and turn us in,” Han said.
“Not unless we bribe people to keep their mouths shut,” Roman said.
“Before we consider staying at a hotel, or even returning to the one we were at, and bribing them to keep secret that we’re staying there, we have to get some supplies. Which means that we have to go to shops in the back alleys, to avoid getting caught,” Ramsey said before setting up her laptop, checking the back accounts to see how much money they had to spend; only to start freaking out a bit while looking at the screen.
“Hey Ramsey, try and calm down. What’s wrong? What’s got you so worked up,” Tej asked.
“The guy who set us up with this fake mission, he cleaned our bank account. He’s left us with nothing. This is the last thing we need right now. First, we get set up with the attempt to blow up the Vatican, which landed both Letty and Nyx to being taken away to jail. Now the cops are looking for the rest of us. And to top it off he cleaned our bank account leaving us with nothing to get anything that we need. What else could go wrong while we’re stuck on this fake mission,” Ramsey asked while losing her cool.
Han walked over to Ramsey, placing a comforting hand on Ramsey’s shoulder. “Hey, try and calm down a bit. We are gonna make it back home. We will get that much needed beach day. Who knows, we may even get a vacation. Shoot, I’m sure when we all return back, Abuelita will be making a big dinner for all of us, celebrating our safe return.”
“Han’s right. Once we get back with Letty and Nyx out of prison, we will find our way back home, and we won’t ever have to return back to this place again,” Tej said.
“What if Nyx doesn’t want to come back home, because of the way Letty was treating her? I mean, Letty was being super overprotective of Nyx, and Nyx felt like she was being smothered by Letty always telling her what to do. What if Nyx wants to stay here to avoid being controlled,” Ramsey asked.
Notes:
Hey everyone. Sorry for taking forever to get updates out. I just want to clear up as to why it's taking so long for me to get new chapters up to date. I am working on 12 active stories at the moment. It's going to take time to get new chapters written out for all those stories, and then to get them typed up. And on top of all of that, I have a lot of things going on in my personal life, which sometimes has to take priority over the stories. I ask that everyone is patient while I work on getting the updates ready. Also I ask that you be understanding if I don't give you more than one chapter a day, as well as each week it will be a mix up of which story gets updated. I have to do what is best for my physical health as well. And asking for more than what I give means that I would have to run on very little sleep to establish that, which then leads to me getting sick. And if that happens that means no updates as well. So I ask that you be patient, and know that at some point each and every one of your favorite stories that you enjoy will be updated asap. Thank you all for being understanding. Thank you for the love and support. It's much appreciated.
Sending love, light, joy, positivity

Chapter Text
Tej shook his head at that. “No. There is no way in hell that Nyx would want to remain here, when all of her family is back in the states. Nyx would never leave us behind. I know Nyx wouldn’t turn her back on us. We have to find Nyx and bring her back home with us.”
“What about Letty? Are you seriously planning on leaving Letty here and not figure out a way to help her get out of prison,” Roman asked.
“I didn't say anything about leaving Letty behind. But we can’t work on saving both of them at the same time,” Tej said.
“And why the hell not? We save Letty, we save Nyx, then we take the proper steps to get the hell out of here. After we blow this place, and we return home, we never step foot on this land again. We go home take a break, and spend time with all of our loved ones,” Roman said.
“Did you forget that Nyx is still royally pissed with Letty? That’s why saving both Letty and Nyx at the same time would be a really bad idea to save both of them together. We save them both, only to have the both of them trying to kill each other. Use your damn brain and think about what you are saying before you say it,” Han snapped on Roman annoyed.
“Can the three of you not fight right now? One wrong move on our part, and we won’t be able to do anything to save Letty and Nyx. Then we all will be stuck here and whoever it is that is trying to get all of us locked away, will get exactly what they want. Now stop fighting and learn to work together. If I hear any protests come from any of you, I will smack all of you,” Ramsey said in a warning tone.
Han leaned close to Tej whispering to make sure that Ramsey didn’t hear him. “When Ramsey gets mad like this, she kind of scares me.”
“You’re not the only one. She scares me too when she gets like this. Makes me think that she’s on her period, and she forgot to pack a few important things,” Tej said causing Ramsey to turn and glare at him.
“You keep talking shit like that and I’ll make sure Nyx rips you apart,” Ramsey said. “Now let's stop clowning around and find a way to help Letty and Nyx before they end up spending the rest of their lives in prison for something that they didn’t do.”
Letty kept looking around the cell, looking for any way out of the hell hole that she was stuck in. Where in the world is this place? Some kind of high security place to keep all serial killer psychos locked away, while the rest of the world forgets about them and live in ignorant bliss, forgetting the damage done to ruin our peace, Letty thought to herself as someone from a different cell watched her every move.
“You’re only wasting your time looking for a way out of this shithole,” the person finally spoke up. Letty looked around trying to find the source of the voice. It took her a moment before her eyes finally landed on someone.
“Who the hell are you? Better yet, what the hell are you in for,” Letty asked.
The person smirked. “Who I am is of no importance. Just think of me as a friend, who is more than willing to put their life on the line to get you out of here. It’s quite obvious that you don’t belong in a place like this anyway.”
“You don’t know anything about me. For all you know, you could be wrong about me. So, it would be safe for you to not make any assumptions about me like that,” Letty snapped. “Not only that, but you also failed to tell me what you’re in for.”
The person laughed. “Would you believe me if I were to tell you? Because every time I tried to tell everyone what is going on, they always said that I was crazy, or that I was making things up to gain attention. It was that or, they would threaten me by saying that I would end up in a shit tone of trouble if the higherups heard everything that I had to say about them. Which is why I’m here right now. Because somebody powerful wants me to keep my mouth shut. Here I am now, keeping to myself, watching as corruption takes place, and the people of society don’t seem to have a damn clue as to what is really taking place under their damn noses.”
“Well, I’m not like all the other people who want to act like sketchy things aren’t happening. My family and I know there are many corrupt people in this world. One of those people being someone from mine and my husband’s past. He’s out to hurt us in any way he can. I can’t allow this man to keep targeting my family the way that he is right now,” Letty said before noticing that her sister wasn’t anywhere in sight. “Have you seen them bringing another girl in here? She was arrested alongside me.”
“Honey, I only watched them bring your knocked out ass in here. There was no other girl that was being dragged along with them,” the person said.
“No. This can’t be right. I saw them put my sister in the squad car. The head of the police was the one who was driving the car,” Letty said while trying to keep her cool.
“Did you say that the head of police was the one who was driving the car,” The person asked.
“Yeah. He was driving, and then I watched him turn off and go in a completely different direction than I was being taken in,” Letty explained.
“Oh no. This is not good at all. I warned everyone that the police were corrupt. But nobody wanted to believe me about this. They wanted to believe that nothing was going on, and that I was acting crazy and making all of this up. But now I have proof that the police are corrupt,’ the person rambled on.
“What are you talking about,” Letty asked.
“Your sister, she’s not the first one to not make it to this shithole. It’s happened plenty of other times with other girls. If there is a girl that they consider to be pretty, the corrupt assholes bring them to a completely different location, which nobody knows about, nor do they see or hear from those girls again, the person explained.
“You mean to tell me that my sister was taken to some location, where she will never be seen or heard from again? Do you have any clues as to where this place is, or what happens to the girls,” Letty asked.
“I only know what the rumors swirling around say. But I don’t know how much truth they hold,” the person said.
“Then why don’t you try and tell me? Give me something to work with,” Letty begged.
The person thought about it for a moment, deciding whether or not she should say something about what she heard being said. “Rumors have been going around about how the pretty girls who are brought to a different place, they are said to be sold to any man that is willing to pay a pretty penny for the young woman.”
“Are you saying that my sister has been sold to a random man to become a sex slave,” Letty asked on the verge of freaking out.
“And this is why I was iffy on saying anything to you about it. Because I don’t know if that happened. I don’t have proof of the girls being sold as sex slaves. The only ones who can answer that is the corrupt assholes who are behind half of these disappearances,” the person said.
“I have to find a way out of here,” Letty said. “I have to get out of here now. Do you know any way that we can get the hell out of here?”
“I told you that there is no way for us to break out of here. The only way that you could possibly get out of this shithole is by knowing someone on the outside, who has enough power and money to get you out if you know what I mean. Money does a lot of talking, especially to those who are more than willing to listen to the money that is doing the talking,” the person said.
“Do you happen to know anyone who has the funds to get us out of here, that way we can save my sister from facing a horrible fate of what all the other girls had gone through. Please help me save my sister. She’s already gone through hell and back. Don’t make her suffer any more than she already has. Please don’t make her suffer anymore,” Letty begged.
“Give me a few days to speak with my contact and see what they have to say. There is no guarantee that my contact will help you out,” the person said.
“Are you serious? I need an answer like yesterday,” Letty said.
“If you want help, then you will go on my time. Not the other way around. I can’t rush my contact to give me an answer right away. They need time to think about the issue at hand and think of a plan that will work. Do you think you can wait that long,” the person asked.
“I’ll try and remain calm. I just hope that we can do something to save my sister before anything bad happens to her,” Letty said.
Nyx opened her eyes noticing the canopy of a bed that she did not recognize. That sick twisted bastard better not have done anything to me, after he knocked me out. If he so much as took advantage of me while I was knocked out, I will go and teach him a lesson that he will never forget, Nyx thought to herself while sitting up in the bed, looking around the room. It didn’t take long for Nyx’s eyes to fall upon Dante, who was standing in the corner of the room, watching her every move.
“What the hell are you doing? How long have you been standing there in the corner, looking like a damn creeper for,” Nyx asked causing Dante to laugh.
“I have only been standing there a good ten minutes admiring you, because it’s been months since I was last able to lay my eyes on you. Is there something wrong with that,” Dante asked.
“It doesn’t make it any less creepy that you were standing there watching my unconscious body, all while I was laid out on the bed,” Nyx sassed back to Dante.
Dante only laughed thinking of the moments when Nyx would unleash her sass on someone who was dumb enough to provoke her to be sassy. “I always did love it when you got feisty. That and it made for some great sex.”
Nyx gave a sarcastic smile. “I’m glad you have such fond memories of us having sex together. Because I don’t see us getting back in the same bed as one another again.”
Dante laughed again causing Nyx to glare at him. “You really believe that you can withhold sex from me? Because if my memory serves me well, you were never one who was able to resist my charms.”
“You forget that people change with time. And I had plenty of time to grow as a person. So anything that you remember from our time together, is just a thing of the past now,” Nyx said.
Dante walked over to Nyx standing directly in front of Nyx. “You think so?”
“I know so,” Nyx said in a challenging tone.
“Prove it to me,” Dante challenged.
“I know I can,” Nyx challenged.
Dante smirked. “As I said prove it to me.”
“I hate you,” Nyx said before pulling Dante down on top of her into a passionate kiss.
Chapter Text
Dante pulled back smirking at Nyx knowing that he was right. “Why don’t you admit it Nyxie? You don’t hate me like you say you do. You love everything about me, and you wouldn’t go and change a darn thing about me.”
“There are a few things that I would change,” Nyx said.
“Like what,” Dante asked.
“For starters, I would change your cocky ass attitude. It gets annoying really quickly. I would also change your need to get revenge on Dom. Don’t you get tired of plotting ways to make Dom pay for all the things that he’s done to you,” Nyx asked.
“Nyxie, babe you don’t understand the extent of all that Dom has done to me and my family. All that he has taken away from me. How can you expect me to sit around and let him get away with all of the things that he has done to me? My family has a reputation to uphold. If I don’t do anything to make Dom pay for what he had done, then other punks like him will think that it’s okay to walk all over the Reyes family. I can’t allow that to happen. I have to protect the honor of the Reyes family, that way we don’t become a joke to people,” Dante explained.
“That sounds like your problem Dante. It’s not my problem, yet you’re bringing me into this all because you tell me that Dom is my brother. Do you even have proof to back this up; or are you using me to cause Dom pain by making him believe that he has a biological baby sister, hanging around with his enemy,” Nyx asked.
Dante pulled away walking over to a desk, unlocking the drawer, pulling out a file and placing it on the desk in front of Nyx. “Take a look if you don’t believe me. All the proof you need is in that file.”
Nyx gave Dante a skeptical look as she made her way over to the desk placing a hand on the file. Nyx opened it and began reading the proof that she was indeed Dominic Toretto’s biological baby sister.
While Nyx was taking a moment to process all of this, Dante snuck up behind Nyx, knocking her out, making sure to catch her before she hit the floor. Sorry Nyxie baby, but now that you know the truth, I can’t risk you trying to sneak off to help Dom get his wifey out of prison. That would ruin all that I have planned for Dom. And I have quite a bit in store for him, Dante thought as he carried Nyx to the bed; trying her hands and feet together to keep her from running away from him.
Once he was done doing that, Dante made a phone call to someone who was waiting to hear from him. “Change of plans. Looks like we will be moving a lot sooner than I expected. Make sure you’re standing outside ready to go. I don’t want to be kept waiting too long to depart from Rome.” Dante then hung up his phone, knowing that his inside person had everything handled on their side.
Dante turned his attention to Nyx on the bed, making sure that she was still knocked out. Good. She didn’t hear a thing that was said with that phone exchange. I don’t need her messing this up for me. Everything that I am doing right now, I’m doing so, that way she can have a good life. I won’t have anyone take that away. Not when I’m so close to giving my Nyxie everything that she could ever want in life, Dante thought to himself as he walked over, picking Nyx up and carrying her down to where he had a car waiting for him.
Dante walked out and was greeted by his driver who was waiting for him.
“Greetings Mr. Reyes. Did you need me to take you to your usual spot today,” the driver asked.
“There has been a change of plans. I’m going to need you to take my fiancé and I to the airport. We decided to get married back in California, where our family is waiting for our arrival. I would have had the wedding here, but the little lady doesn’t want the family to miss out on our big day,” Dante explained while placing Nyx in the backseat. Dante noticed the way that the driver was looking at Nyx and was quick to come up with an excuse. “We had a big of fun last night that tired her out.”
Dante then climbed into the car, closing the door waiting for the driver to get into the car and drive him to the airport.
The driver quickly made his way to the driver's seat, sitting down and quickly made their way to the airport where a private plane was waiting for Dante’s next orders.
Once the car came to a stop, Dante climbed out making his way towards the pilot. “Get the plane ready. We are departing Rome a little bit early. You know exactly where to take us. No questions asked.”
“So, it’s safe to assume that you have the girl right where you want her,” The pilot said.
“More than that. By the end of the night, she will be willing to become Mrs. Dante Reyes, because she’s a family kind of girl. And there is no way that she would ever want to split our little family apart. By the end of tonight, my girl is guaranteed to have a baby growing inside of her,” Dante explained before turning to the car, grabbing the knocked-out Nyx and carrying her to the plane.
Dante was about to climb aboard but was stopped by the driver. “Sir, don’t you have any bags that you are wanting to take with you and the young lady as you both make your way back to the states?”
Dante stopped, turning to face the driver. “There is no need for bags. Not when I have plenty of clothes for myself and my woman back at my home in the states. But thank you for showing concern for myself and my lovely lady. Why don’t you take a nice vacation once we leave? You earned it.”
“Are you absolutely sure about that? Because I can keep busy while waiting for your return,” the driver said.
“I’m sure. If I didn’t mean it, then I wouldn’t have said it. Now why don’t you get going before I change my mind,” Dante said before turning around and carrying the unconscious young woman onto the plane to keep himself from placing her down, to put a bullet in the drivers head to stop him from asking stupid questions.
Dante made his way to his seat, sitting down with Nyx in his lap, waiting patiently to make his way back to the states, hoping to put distance between Dom, himself and Nyx. Dante was not willing to allow Dom to get in his way of making Nyx his wife.
It won’t be long now Nyxie. Then we will be together like we were supposed to be, before you disappeared on me, Dante thought to himself while holding Nyx tightly to himself.
Letty waited patiently to hear from the person who had a contact to help them get out of the hellhole prison. Come on, I can’t sit around waiting to hear if they got the greenlight to get me out of here. I have to get out of here and find my sister before that sick bastard does anything to her. If something happens to Nyx, I won’t be able to forgive myself. I have to save her before she gets hurt for something that she didn’t do, Letty thought to herself while pacing the cell like a caged tiger.
Little did Letty know; the informant was standing there watching as she paced back and forth.
Oh the joy it brings me to watch as you pace back and forth anticipating the answer, as to whether or not I will be helping you escaping with the help of my informant. As much as I enjoy this, I have better places that I could be hanging out at, and much better people who I can be associating with at the moment, the figure thought before stepping forward with a fake sympathetic look on their face. This caught Letty’s attention.
“Please tell me that you have some good news for me,” Letty begged.
“Well, I have some good news and I have some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first. The good or the bad news,” the person asked while stepping closer to the bars.
Letty took a step closer as well, thinking about her decision before finally speaking up. “Share the good news first.”
“The good news is that I heard from my source on the outside,” the phone said.
“They’re on their way right now. And I will be as free as a bird,” the person said.
“And what about me? Is your source on the outside going to be come and help me out as well,” Letty asked.
“That’s the bad news. You’re going to be left behind to rot. Don’t worry though, you might not be here too long. But that’s only because you will most likely be leaving this hellhole in a body bag,” the person said.
“Please try and talk some sense into your contact and get them to change their mind. Please, I need to get out of here. My family needs me. That and I fear that my sister may be in grave danger. I need to save her before she ends up in a body bag herself for running her mouth to the wrong person, pissing them off,” Letty tried to reason with the person.
“That sounds more like a you problem, that you need to go and figure out all that out on your own. I did all that I could. My contact said that they don’t give handouts. If you were serious about getting out of this hellhole, then you would have been better prepared for this. But don’t worry. I’m sure they will make you feel very comfortable,” the person said before Letty felt a stabbing pain. Letty looked down at her side and noticed a lot of blood pouring out of a wound that wasn’t there before. She looked up and saw the person smiling at her.
“Why,” Letty asked.
“Because I can. Now be a good little bitch and die,” the person said before turning around and walking away. The person knocked on the door before calling out, “I’m ready to get out of this shithole of a place and make my way back home.”
“Right away,” the guard said opening up the door and allowing the person to leave Letty to slump on the floor holding her side, watching as the person left her there to die.
I can’t die here. I have to get the hell out of here, and find my sister and my husband and friends, and get the hell out of Rome. Then once we are back on the soil of America, I will tell Nyx that she is not allowed to set foot in Rome again, Letty thought to herself before a guard entered the room, spotting her bleeding out on the floor.
The guard rushed over grabbing hold of Letty as she passed out from blood loss.
Please dear god let me make it out of this alive, that way I can save my sister and go home with my family, Letty thought to herself as she gave into the darkness.
Chapter Text
Several hours later Letty woke up looking around the room noticing that she is no longer in her cell. Where the hell am I? The last time I checked I was in the cell bleeding out of my side, Letty thought to herself as she looked down at her side, noticing that her shirt she was wearing was brand new that didn’t have a speck of blood on it.
“You fell for the same trick that I had fallen for a few days ago. Only you got out easy,” Cipher said gaining Letty’s attention.
“What are you talking about? I was asking that person who stabbed me to help me get out of this damn place. But the person said that they couldn’t help me get out of here before stabbing me in my side,” Letty explained.
Cipher laughed. “You’re not getting it. That ‘person’ was placed here on purpose. The person who was placed into the jail cell to help you out; its Dante Reyes little sister named Lexus. She was told to hang around and fool you into thinking that she could help you get out of here. Once she gets you right where she wants you, she breaks your spirit by telling you that she heard back from her source, and her source tells her that she can’t help you get out and that she gets to be bailed out before attacking you. Then she leaves you for death. Don’t beat yourself up over falling for her tricks. She can be very convincing to get what she wants.”
“And what reason would she want me dead,” Letty asked.
“There could be any number of reasons as to why she stabbed you, wanting to leave you for death. Do you have anything that Lexus could possibly want,” Cipher asked.
Letty thought about it for a moment before it hit her. “I don’t have anything that she would want. But if she’s related to Dante Reyes, then he wants my sister all for himself. But I don’t think he has a clue where my sister is...especially if that corrupt cop has taken her to a different place, other than this jail. Do you have any clue as to where all of the young women who are deemed attractive taken?”
Cipher laughed again. “You seriously fell for that excuse?”
“What the hell do you mean by that? This isn’t some laughing matter. My damn sister is possibly in danger, and you’re standing there laughing,” Letty said growing even more annoyed with Cipher.
“Your sister is most likely with Lexus’ brother Dante. I heard that he was quite smitten with your sister,” Cipher explained. “Though word does travel fast, and word that is being passed around is that your sister isn’t really your sister. She’s really the sister of your husband.”
“Who told you that? How the hell did you find out,” Letty asked growing impatient.
“I have my ways. But figuring out who my source of information is, that should be the least of your worries. You should be more worried about getting out of here, making a plan to get your ass out of here and back to the states, where I’m pretty sure Dante and his gang all are headed right now,” Cipher said.
“How am I supposed to get out of here without anyone on the outside to help me get out of here? My husband and our friends don’t have any clue that I’m here right now. Shit not even my sister knows I’m here,” Letty said.
“Lucky for you I have been working on a way to get out of here. I’ll take you along with me,” Cipher said.
“You’re not going to fuck me over like Dante’s sister did, are you,” Letty asked with a bit of a skeptical look on her face.
“You don’t have to worry about me fucking you over. It wouldn’t do anything to benefit me,” Cipher said.
“Then what do you get if you help me out of here,” Letty asked.
“I’m sure as you already know that Dante has taken an interest in your sister. Word on the street is that he considers your darling sister to be his everything. If that is the case, then your sister might be able to help us break Dante, that is if Dante hasn’t managed to get your darling sister to fall in love with him. If Dante manages to get your sister to fall in love with him, then we are going to have to find a way to separate the two. Are you willing to cause your sister pain to help keep her safe from the dangerous life that Dante lives,” Cipher asked.
Letty thought about it for a moment. She would do anything to keep her sister safe from the dangerous lifestyle. Letty always hated the thought of Nyx getting hurt. Letty out a sigh before speaking up. “I don’t want anything to hurt Nyx. I always hated the idea of Nyx getting hurt. I will do anything to keep Nyxie safe from any pain, whether it be physical or emotional. What do I have to do to get her away from him?”
“You’re going to have to figure out a way to get Nyx along and say things to convince her of the truth that Dante is only using her to get back at you and all the people she cares for. Think you can do that,” Cipher asked.
“I can do everything within my power to turn her against that sick bastard,” Letty said.
“You’re going to need to do all that you can, just so you can protect her,” Cipher said. “Also be ready to leave soon, because this is a slim window for us to escape. And if we miss this opportunity then we may not get another shot at this.”
The plane landed in Los Angeles. Dante wasted no time picking Nyx up and carrying her off the plane.
Once he got off the plane, Dante walked over to the valet who stood by the car, waiting for Dante. “So good to see you back in the states Mr. Reyes. I was under the impression that you would have been out of state a bit longer.”
“I had to cut my mini vacation short. I received a call from work, saying that they needed me. Trust me, I didn’t want to cut my vacation short, and if my job didn’t need me to come back, I would have finished my vacation. Sorry for rambling. I’m just really happy. Whie I was on my vacation, I ran into my beautiful girlfriend. I didn’t think she would surprise me the way that she did, but she did,” Dante said.
The valet smiled. “I’m glad that you were proven wrong by your girlfriend. Did the two of you get into an argument before you left for your vacation?”
“Yeah. Truth be told she was supposed to go along with me, but we got into a bad fight with one another. I left giving her the space that she needed to cool off,” Dante explained.
“Well, I leave you to take the little lady home, that way the two of you can spend a little quality time together,” the valet said before moving out of the way, so Dante could make his way into the car.
On the way back to his home, Dante dialed Dom’s phone knowing that he would be quick to answer the phone.
“Hello,” Dom asked.
“Hello Dominic. I’m so sorry that I had to bail. I had been reunited with a cute little lady, that I couldn’t keep waiting for me. I hope you can understand, seeing as you are now a married man,” Dante taunted.
“What have you done with Nyx? So help me if you so much as lay a hand on her,” Dom began.
Dante gasped feeling insulted that Dom would make such an assumption to him. “Now Dominic, I’m truly hurt that you would assume that I would bring any harm to my Nyxie. Let me ask you this, what makes you think that I would do anything to bring any harm to Nyx; especially when I have waited for quite some time to be reunited with her? Besides, I wouldn’t do anything to risk losing Nyx’s trust. I could never do that.”
“Where is my sister? I know the truth now. Just let Nyx go and leave her out of this. Whatever problems you have, it’s with me. Let my sister go back home, and allow her to go about her life,” Dominic begged hoping that Dante would let Nyx go.
Dante laughed at Dominic’s begging. “You honestly believe that I would use Nyx as a way to hurt you? You are a sick man, Dominic. I would never use my girl like that. I love her so much. I love her and she loves me too. I don't think that she wants to leave me, not when I make her happy. Don’t worry Dominic, I promise to make your sister a very happy woman. If you want to talk, you know where to find me, or how to contact me.”
“Will Nyx be with you,” Dom asked.
“Is that what you want? Because I can have her standing right next to me, while we wait for you to show up and have a conversation with me. Man to man. Don’t keep us waiting too long. I have important things that need my attention,” Dante said before hanging up the phone as a groggy Nyx began to wake up.
“Where the hell am I? An even better question, why the hell is the outside moving so fast,” Nyx asked in confusion while looking out the window.
“Glad to see that you finally woke up. I was beginning to worry that you would be out for a few months,” Dante said.
Nyx turned her attention to Dante, glaring at him while fighting the urge to smack him. “What the hell did you do to knock me out? An even better question, did you take advantage of me while I was knocked out? If you did, I will take and cut your dick off and feed it to your bitch boy for lunch.”
“Ooh so violent. I almost forgot that you were a feisty little thing. But calling my men names isn’t very nice,” Dante lectured, knowing he was getting under Nyx’s skin.
“Knocking people out and bringing them wherever you go, pulling them into your sick and twisted little games isn't exactly nice either. But you don’t see me bitching at you for that,” Nyx snapped.
“Technically I didn’t pull you into any game. Your darling brother, Dominic pulled you into the game by allowing you to go with the rest of your friends to Rome for the ‘mission’ that was sent for him,” Dante said.
“Dom was going to go on the mission himself, but I told him to stay back with his family. I chose to go in Dom’s place, because I don’t have anything to lose. I don’t have a husband or a child. So, if anything were to have happened to me, it wouldn’t matter,” Nyx said.
Dante quickly pulled the car to the side of the road, putting it in park and shutting it off, before turning his attention to Nyx. “Don’t you dare speak of yourself like that again. Someday you will have a child. Many children, who when they have a problem will be looking for their mommy, when daddy can’t help them with a problem that he himself can’t solve. And you will become a loving wife. My wife, that is once this is all said and done. I will be able to provide for you and our kids.”
“Let me make this clear to you, Dante. I won’t even entertain the thought of being anything to you, while you have this vendetta against Dom. Yes, what he did to you was shitty. But you can be the bigger person and stop all of this. All you have to do is forgive him for all that he’s done,” Nyx said.
Chapter Text
Dante sat there and thought about what Nyx had suggested to him. But Dante questioned if he really wanted to go through with that. Dominic Toretto has basically stolen everything away from him, made his family the laughingstock and killed his father, as well as attempted to kill him, when Dominic and his little buddies got away with the money. I can’t let them off the hook for all that they have done. If I do that then I will only bring shame to the Reyes family name. I can’t do that, Dante thought to himself.
Not long after Dante was brought out of his thoughts by his sister walking into the house calling out his name, causing Dante to roll his eyes at his younger sister as he made his way down to where she was.
“So lovely to see that you made it Lex. How was the flight? Did you manage to take care of Dominic Toretto’s wife,” Dante asked.
“I did what you asked me to do. I stabbed her and left her bleeding on the floor to die,” Lexus explained.
“You didn’t think to stick around long enough to see if she was dead? Taking her life would have been the start for Dominic to us. Granted killing his wife wouldn’t make him even with us. But it would have been a start. God Lex, why can’t you do anything that I ask you right? Do you want to go and mess this up for us,” Dante ranted.
Lexus rolled her eyes at her brother’s behavior. “I did what you asked me to do. It was you who gave me a time frame to get everything done, before my ride got there, because you didn’t want me to keep him waiting. Had you given me a little more time, I would have gladly made sure that the job was done completely. But you didn’t give me any room to take extra precaution.”
“Lex you should have killed Dominic’s wife instantly by stabbing her in the heart,” Dante said before it dawned on him that his little sister didn’t stab Letty in the heart. “Where did you stab her if you didn’t stab her in the heart?”
“I...I stabbed her in the side. I couldn’t just go and stab that woman in the chest and kill here instantly like you wanted me to do,” Lexus argued.
“Why the heck not,” Dante questioned growing more and more annoyed with his sister. “You would have been perfectly fine. The guards would have turned the other cheek while you stabbed that woman. They all would have accepted a little bribe to let you get away with all sorts of things. You just need to talk about the cost of their loyalty.”
“Not all cops are crocked cops, Dante. What part of that don’t you understand? Did it ever occur to your dumb ass that there are cops, who take their job seriously, because they want to rid the streets of people like you and me? Those are the cops that are always trying to go above and beyond to snag people like you and I up, to prove to their boss that they deserve a promotion,” Lexus ranted.
“Now you’re being a worry wort. Nothing bad will happen to us. We will always have people on the inside who are willing to help us out,” Dante said.
“It’s no use in talking to you when you’re like this. You have your head so far up your own ass, that you don’t want to hear a damn thing that I’m saying to you. Once you pull your head out of your ass, then come find me and talk to me. Until then, don’t bother talking to me,” Lexus said before storming away from her brother, slamming the door behind her.
Dante stood there rolling his eyes at Lexus and her behavior. “And she had the nerve to basically call me dramatic. She’s the one prancing around like a little drama queen. Being so darn demanding; and then getting upset when things don’t go her way. Lexus needs to go and check herself out in the mirror before she tries to pass judgment on me,” Dante said while shaking his head while Aimes walked in.
“I take it that your darling sister Lexus has arrived, and she’s already started bitching about something that is not relevant to you,” Aimes said.
“Lexus was complaining that I didn’t give her enough time to complete her task at the prison. Then she grew even more angry when I told her that she should have stabbed Dominic’s girlfriend in the chest where her heart was. Apparently, that only set Lexus off even more, because she went on a big rant as to why she can’t do that. She also tried to say that there were cops there that wanted to do the right thing, and that they wouldn’t accept any money that one would offer them. I think Lexus is grasping at straws for all sorts of excuses to get out of this lifestyle. Do you think that Lexus is growing tired of living this life that my dad raised us in,” Dante asked.
“It could be a possibility. If you and your sister were exposed to this kind of life from a young age, then there could be a strong possibility that your sister is growing tired of this lifestyle. Maybe deep down she wants to have a normal life, settle down in one place and have a family; most likely wanting to work a nine to five job,” Aimes said.
Dante laughed at what Aimes had said to him. “That kind of lifestyle sounds boring. I’m used to this lifestyle. I’m sure my Nyxie is used to this kind of lifestyle too. When we have kids, they will learn the ways of this lifestyle too.”
“Do you think that Nyx would want that for your kids,” Aimes asked.
“She won’t have much say in that. We are already used to living this lifestyle. There really is no living a normal life for Nyx and I,” Dante explained. “There is no escaping this life for Nyx and I. And I need someone to take over for when I can no longer do this. I need young able heirs to take control and continue to make money for us.”
“I think it would be best to talk to Nyx about this before making this decision. You made this decision all on your own without speaking to Nyx about what kind of future your kids have, it might upset her to the point where you will begin to push her away from you,” Aimes said before walking away.
Maybe Aimes has a point. I should most likely speak with Nyx about what we both would want for our children. Would she be alright with the kids living this lifestyle that she and I live now, or should we make an attempt to live a normal life in front of the kids and take care of business at night while the kids are sound asleep. I will have to talk to Nyx about what she feels is best for our children, Dante thought to himself as he sat down on the couch, contemplating what he wanted to do.
Dom was driving around trying to call Letty, Nyx, Han, Ramsey and Roman only to get no answer from them. Dom then tried to call Tej, hoping that he could get a hold of someone. Dom was about to give up and hang up the phone, when he heard Tej’s voice.
“Tej’s phone. What can I do for you,” Tej said.
“Tej! Thank God you answered the phone. I can’t seem t get a hold of Letty or Nyx. Do you know where they are,” Dom asked.
“Ramsey managed to track Letty back to a high security prison. But she had no luck with tracking Nyx down. But Ramsey has a feeling that Nyx might have been taken by the guy who set us up,” Tej explained.
“Dante Reyes,” Dom said.
“Did you just say Reyes? As in the Reyes that we stole money from all those years ago,” Tej asked.
“That would be the one. He feels that we did him dirty and now he’s trying to repay the favor to us. But I don’t understand, why he would want to bring my sister, Nyx into this little war between us, when she has nothing to do with this,” Dom said while he continued to drive.
It didn’t take long for Tej to figure out Dante’s reason for pulling Nyx into their little war. “I think I know the reason why he’s pulling Nyx into this.”
“Why is that,” Dom asked.
“Because I think homeboy has a crush on your sister; and is determined to make her fall in love with him,” Tej explained.
“There is no way that Dante is falling in love with Nyx. He never got close to her, before she decided to take my place in coming on this mission in my place. Oh God. Please don’t tell me that Dante Reyes fell in love with my sister by looking at her one time,” Dom said trying to figure out what Dante’s motive was by using his sister.
“Man, maybe you can use this to your advantage. Have Nyx use this to her advantage. Maybe she can use this little crush to get Dante to do things that she wants. Maybe she can get Dante to release Letty from wherever she is being kept,” Tej suggested.
“That could work out. But there is one little problem with that plan,” Dom said.
“What is so wrong with this plan? It could work out in our favor,” Tej said.
“I haven’t been successful in getting a hold of Nyx. I tried to call her, but it goes straight to voicemail. I don’t know if she even has her phone on her,” Dom said.
“I honestly didn’t think about that. I didn’t think about the fact that Dante could have possibly taken Nyx’s phone from her, to keep her from getting in touch with us,” Tej said.
“I just hope that Nyx is alright. Hopefully Dante isn’t taking advantage of her while he’s holding her against her will,” Dom said beginning to grow worried about Nyx.
“Don’t worry too much about Nyx. She’s a tough woman who can hold her own. That and she’s clever. She will figure a way out of the grip of Dante. But right now, we all need to get out of Rome and make our way back to the states, and figure out where Dante is keeping Nyx,” Tej said.
“See what Ramsey can find,” Dom said.
“I’ll let her know,” Tej said.
Dom hung up the phone as he stopped his ca, parking it before slamming his hand against the steering wheel. What use could Dante have for Nyx? She’s innocent in all of this. Unless there is something that Nyx isn’t telling me. If anyone would know what Nyx could be hiding, it would be Mia. Mia and Nyx are super close and always tell each other everything, Dom thought to himself as he picked up the phone dialing Mia’s number, hoping that Mia would answer the phone.
“How ae things going in Rome? And what can I do for you,” Mia asked.
“Not so good. Letty was arrested. Han, Tej, Roman and Ramsey are all on the run to keep from getting arrested for a crime that they were framed for. And Nyx was possibly abducted by Dante Reyes. Mia, I know Nyx and you usually tell each other everything. Did Nyx say anything about going out and hooking up with a random dude that she met,” Dom asked, sensing some hesitation on Mia’s end.
“Well, there was one time that Nyx and I went out together. Just to enjoy a girl’s night. We had done this a few nights a month. But there was this one night that we had gone out to let loose and have a good time, dance a bit. You know a typical kind of night for us. Anyway, there was this one particular night we were dancing at the club. I had gone to the bar to grab a drink, when I was a bit delayed in returning back to Nyx, because I met a cute guy, who I thought had a lot of potential. Anyway, I took a quick glance over at Nyx and said that she scored a cutie of her own. I didn’t want to ruin it for her. But I noticed that the guy was leading Nyx away to a more private area. You know me, I’m not one to cockblock anyone,” Mia said.
Chapter Text
Nyx woke again looking around the unfamiliar room, getting ready to freak out until realization hit her. That son of a bitch! He knocked me out again! Oh, if I get my hands on that man, I’m going to castrate him so that way he can’t have any kids, and continue his damn bloodline, Nyx thought to herself while getting out of the bed. Nyx made her way over to the dresser, grabbing anything else off the dresser to throw it across the room, when she was stopped by the sound of the door opening and closing behind her.
“If you value the idea of having children, I suggest that you get the hell out of this room and allow me a lot of time to cool off,” Nyx said without turning around to face who entered the room. Nyx soon regretted that when the person who entered the room laughed at her threat.
“Well, it’s a good thing that I have no intentions of sleeping with you,” the person said causing Nyx to turn around spotting Aimes standing there.
“What the hell are you doing here bitch boy? Don’t you have some dick sucking to do, to help your boss calm his anger or something? Or do you even want to go anywhere near him, all while he is busy ranting and obsessing over Dom Toretto,” Nyx snapped at Aimes.
“Ha ha. You are so damn funny,” Aimes said in a sarcastic tone.
“I happen to find myself to be quite hilarious,” Nyx said. “Now be a doll and tell me, why the hell are you here? Can’t you see that I want to be alone? I don’t want to see you nor do I want to hear you.”
“Look, I know I’m the last person that you want to speak to, but maybe it’s for the best that you hear what I have to say,” Aimes said while walking a bit closer to the bed. “Mind if I take a seat on the bed? What I have to say to you might take a bit of time to tell the story. I know you don’t want to hear what I have to say, but once you hear the story of what happened to Dante, you will begin to understand why Dante does all that he is doing now. Are you willing to hear what I have to say, which will explain Dante’s behavior and his obsession of making Dominic Toretto pay for everything that he has done to Dante.”
“Do what you want. But if you believe that I’m going to sit here and listen to your little story, which would go and give Dante any reason to make it okay to do all that he can to justify his actions for hurting Dom anyway possible. If Dante wants me to give him a chance, then he needs to let go of the little vendetta that he has against Dom,” Nyx said growing annoyed that Aimes was trying to justify Dante’s sick actions.
“Well princess, you’re going to sit down, get comfy and listen to the story of what Dante had gone through. And you’re also going to be a good girl and not interrupt me, while I tell the story. Everything will be explained in the story should you still have any questions after I tell you the story, then feel free to ask. And I will do my best to answer all of your questions that you have floating around in your mind. Now, come along princess. Come take a seat and listen to the story,” Aimes said while patting the bed beside himself.
Nyx made her way over to the bed, sitting down on it, while glaring at Aimes. “You better be truthful while telling me why Dante is the way that he is. Should I feel that you are being deceitful, I won’t hesitate to throat chop you, kick you in the balls and tie you up like the little bitch that you are.”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time little girl. Besides, I doubt you could take on a full-grown man like me,” Aimes said.
“Just because I’m a woman, doesn’t mean you should go and underestimate me. Trust me when I say that you would be quite surprised, should you and I fight right now,” Nyx warned. “Now be a good little bitch boy and tell the damn story before I change my mind and kick your ass anyway.”
“Alright you touchy little bitch,” Aimes said earning a glare from Nyx while she sat down on the bed.
“Is it wise to be calling me names,” Nyx asked.
“Right,” Aimes said before jumping into the explanation. “I’m sure you already know what Dante does to earn the amounts of money that he does to afford him anything and everything that he could ever want.”
“Of course. Dom is in the same business as Dante. But that doesn’t explain Dante’s vendetta against Dom. Why is Dante so damn focused on taking everything away from Dom,” Nyx asked ignoring Aimes rules.
“You forgot what I said to you about waiting until the end to ask questions, and that I will do my best to answer them for you,” Aimes said.
“I don’t take orders from anyone. Now start speaking before I throat chop you,” Nyx warned.
“The reason why Dante wants to take everything away from Dominic, is because Dominic took everything away from him. Believe it or not, Dante used to be quite a gentleman. He was always one of the best, taking care of missions for his father, never questioning him. Always ready to go out and make double the money than we thought was possible. But Dante has proven from a very young age that he can be charming and be a sweet talker. If there was someone, we needed to gain money from, Dante was always there to talk to the people we would target, keeping them busy in conversation, having them hanging off his every word that he spoke. His father loved that and would use that to his advantage. Mr. Reyes would always make double the money. But naturally in the lifestyle that we live, you know there are always rivals who are always looking to make themselves richer. And they are the kind of people who don’t give two flying fucks about stealing from a rival, especially if it means that they gain a nice sum of money out of the deal. Anyway, the Reyes family was one of the top-notch families who always managed to successfully manage to make large sums of money. Downside to this lifestyle is you always have rivals looking and waiting for the right lifestyle is you always have rivals looking and waiting for the right opportunity to come crawling out of the woodwork to take what doesn’t belong to them. Hence, the fateful day we had just added our recent stash to the vault where we had the rest of the money added to the safe. After we added the money to the safe thinking that everything was good. When we went upstairs, we felt the building shake from an explosion, which caused us to run downstairs. To our surprise we found the vault missing. Mr. Reyes had hopped into a car as well as his son Dante and a few others went racing after the men who were responsible for stealing the fault filled with the money. I remember following behind Dante; I was about to speed up to catch up to him, but I was stopped by a sudden explosion. I still remember it to this day. It’s something that still haunts me. Watching as Dante and his father’s cars go flying off the bridge and into the water. I thought I lost both men who were like family to me. I mourned the loss, beating myself up, wondering why the hell I didn’t go faster than Dante. I also thought that had I gone faster than him, I could have spared his life. Mind you at the time that I thought that I wasn’t aware that Dante had survived the explosion. He wasn’t the same. Dante kept asking himself why did his father have to die in that explosion. The more he dwelled on the thought, the more he grew angry at the people responsible for his father's death. It was in that very moment that Dante swore that he would make Dominic Toretto pay for everything that he had done. It was in that very moment that Dante swore that he would take away everything that Dominic Toretto loved and hold dear to him; that way Dominic could feel half the pain that Dante felt. Now do you understand why it’s so important to Dante to make Dominic pay for everything that he’s done,” Aimes asked.
Nyx thought about it for a moment. “I don’t approve of what Dom did, but that doesn’t make what Dante wants to do, to hurt Dom okay. Didn’t anyone tell him that two wrongs don’t make a right? Dante needs to let go of his damn vendetta and learn to move on with his life. There is so many things that Dante could be focusing his time and energy on. There are many different projects that Dante could be focusing on. But he’s starting to become overly obsessed with this vengeance with Dom. If he doesn’t stop with this then I will find my way out of this house and go into hiding where nobody will ever find me. I won’t hang around and watch as Dante wastes his time plotting vengeance, just so he can avenge something that he has no control over. He didn’t know that Dom would do that. Who knows, maybe Dom didn’t know how close Mr. Reyes was that close when he did what he did. We won’t know what was going on in Dom’s head at that moment; unless Dante takes a moment to sit down with Dom and allow Dom to explain why he did what he did.”
“You and I both know that Dante won’t sit down with Dominic. He wants to avenge his father and make Dominic feel the pain that he himself had to endure in his past. I also highly doubt that Dante is in the mood to talk about this. Besides all of that, do you truly believe that Dominic would agree to meeting with Dante anyway; especially after Dante set up his friends to draw him out of hiding, to get Dominic to go to Rome? There is no making peace between them. Dominic and Dante come from two different families. They were raised differently. They will never come to a mutual agreement and move on from this. You might as well move on and let it go and go along with whatever Dante says. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run,” Aimes said.
Nyx shook her head. “I won’t stop fighting for what I believe. I won’t accept being told something and not do something that I don’t feel right. I won’t accept anything that Dante tells me; especially when it comes to him getting his vengeance against my brother. If Dante doesn’t stop, I will break free.”
“Think what you want, but you won’t escape. You are where Dante wants you to be. Now be a good girl and keep quiet. Don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself,” Aimes said while getting up, leaving the room and locking the door.
Aimes walked around the house looking for Dante, until he successfully found him standing on the back patio.
“Your girl is a stubborn one,” Aimes said.
“What did she do this time,” Dante asked while sipping his drink.
“Do you really want to know,” Aimes asked.
Chapter Text
Dante gave Aimes a stern look. “You have worked alongside me for quite a while now. And you want me to tell you, that I don’t want to know what my little lady said to you? Please tell me that you’re joking right now.”
Aimes looked down for a moment, knowing that Dante was going to lose his mind when he found out what Nyx had said. Aimes then looked back at Dante before responding. “Nyx is wanting you to stop seeking revenge against her brother. She also said that if you don’t stop until she successfully runs away from you.”
“Hmm. Interesting words for her to say. Maybe I should go and have a little talk with her. Remind her what her brother had done to ruin my family. Maybe that will help change her mind about me,” Dante said.
“Take it easy on the poor woman. She just found out that her brother is the one who is responsible for all that you do now,” Aimes said.
“Then what do you suggest I do,” Dante asked.
“Why don’t you help her take her mind off of everything going on? Show her a good time. Dance with her, give her a few drinks, take her to where the races are being held. Something to help her get her mind off of the bullshit that is taking place right now,” Aimes suggested. “Show her that you are not the one she should be running away from. Make Dom look like the villain here. Turn her against him, and that will truly hit him in the gut.”
Dante thought about it, before smirking. “That may not be so hard. I can show her what a sweet guy I can be. I can show her a good time. By the time Dominic shows up, Nyx won’t want to leave me. Thank you for the advice, Aimes.
“No problem. Now get a move on. You have a little lady who is waiting for you to show her a good time. Remember, right now it’s all about you and Nyx. Forget about everyone else who may be out to destroy your relationship with Nyx,” Aimes reminded Dante, before Dante walked away.
Hopefully Dante will listen to my advice, and he will do anything and everything to take Nyx’s mind off of what is going on right now. It’s the only way that he may convince Nyx that he’s not the man who is only obsessed with getting revenge against everyone who may have wronged him and the Reyes family, Aimes thought to himself.
Dante made his way up the stairs to Nyx’s room, ready to deal with her arguing with him about his plan. Dante was ready to put Nyx in her place if he had to. Dane stepped into the room, only to find that it was empty. Dante stepped further into the room, getting ready to head back out and hunt down Nyx down, but was stopped by pain in the back of his head. Dante turned around and found an angry Nyx standing there glaring at him.
“Ow! Why the heck did you do that,” Dante asked while checking the back of his head to make sure he wasn’t bleeding.
“I’m royally pissed with you, because you won’t back down,” Nyx said.
“I’m not here to talk about that,” Dante said.
“Then why are you here? Don’t you have something else to go and fuck up,” Nyx snapped at Dante.
“I came up here to see if you would like to attend a party with me. I want to show you that I can be a decent man, who can spoil the little lady that he has strong feelings for,” Dante said before looking on the floor to see what Nyx had smacked him upside the head with. Dante then turned his attention back to Nyx. “Did you really hit me upside my head with the expensive lamp, that I had specifically picked out for this room?”
“Oh don’t stand there and bitch about a damn lamp. You have more than enough money to buy at least more than twenty of those damn lamps. Is there something else you want; or did you only come up here to bitch me out about a stupid lamp,” Nyx snapped at Dante.
“I already told you. I came up here to ask if you would be interested in going to one of my many parties, that I like to throw every once in a while. I find it’s a great way to keep distracted from my family business that I’m left to run. I was going to ask if you would like to attend with me and explore your new home. But since you want to be mean, maybe I should keep you locked up in your room, while I go and enjoy myself to forget about you attempting to kill me with an expensive lamp.”
“Now you’re being a big baby. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have used a damn lamp to do so. Secondly, I wouldn’t make any attempt to kill you, while your bitch boy is in the house. All you would have to do is scream, and your bitch boy would come running to your rescue. God give me some damn credit to be smart enough to make it hard to link it back to me. That and I would go through a lot of planning to make sure everything went smoothly. Me bashing that hideous lamp over your head, that was just me blowing off some much-needed steam. Now, if you don’t want a repeat of what just happened, you won’t lock me in this damn room again. Besides, I believe I earned some much needed outside time, partying and mingling with some chill people, who aren’t hell bent on getting revenge on anyone,” Nyx said. “Now lead the way; or do you want me to walk on out of here and go look for the party myself.”
Nyx was about to walk out but was stopped by Dante grabbing hold of her arm in a tight grip. “You may be special to me, but don’t ever mistake my kindness and hospitality for weakness. I can always take away what privileges that you have right now; especially after how you treated me just now. You are going to have to be punished for what you did.”
“I wouldn’t act if you didn’t act like an obsessive ass. I’m now done having this conversation with you. Please take me to the party, so that way I may get some normal human interaction...please,” Nyx asked growing more and more annoyed with Dante by the minute.
“Fine. If it means that you will calm down. But you will be receiving your punishment later on when you’re much calmer. I don’t want you making any attempt to hit me upside my head again. Should you go through with that, then you will only annoy me more, and it may lead me to hurt you, which I don’t want to do. I don’t want to lay a hand on you in a bad way, but I will if you don’t start behaving yourself. Now that’s enough talk about committing violence against one another. Let's make our way down to the party and enjoy ourselves,” Dante said before gently grabbing hold of Nyx’s arm, leading her down the stairs and out of the house. Once they were out of the house, Nyx spotted many people dancing, talking mingling and having a good time without a care in the world.
Nyx was amazed with the amount of people gathered in one place. “Wow. How in the world can you hold so many people in one spot?”
“It’s easy when you have a big house,” Dante explained.
Nyx turned to look at Dante. “There is no way in hell that you know all of these people at your party.”
“Most are people who know who I am. Others are people who are looking to have a good time and forget about the bad day that they may have had. I am not one to turn someone away, who needs to let loose and have a good time,” Dante explained.
Nyx looked around before spotting cars lining up, getting ready to race. “No way! You failed to mention that you have enough property to allow people to race.”
“You like street racing,” Dante asked sounding a bit surprised by this.
“Yeah. I used to do it when I traveled to keep away from Letty for a while. She would get her pants in a twist every time she learned that I did something that she never approved of. All I was trying to do was have a little fun. Though I wasn’t aware that I was not allowed to have any fun, at least not before running it by Letty, so that way she can approve of it,” Nyx said. “You want to race?”
Dante thought about it for a moment. “How about we have a good time together instead, at least before I beat you in a race.”
Nyx laughed at Dante’s comment. “You really think you can beat me in a race?”
“I know I can,” Dante said with confidence.
“Alright. If I win, you are going to have to release me and send me back to my home, and never torment me again,” Nyx said.
“And if I win, you will stay here with me, and allow me to spoil you; and treat you like the queen that you are. Oh and you will have to have cute babies with me. Think you can handle having a big family with me,” Dante asked.
Nyx thought about what Dante said for a moment before sticking her hand out to shake with him. “Deal.”
Dante grabbed Nyx’s hand, pulling her close to him, so that way they were standing chest to chest. “How about we kiss on it instead/
Dante leaned down finding Nyx’s lips with his own, giving her a passionate kiss.
Nyx’s mind was yelling at her to pull away and give Dante a piece of her mind for doing that; but her body and heart had different plans. Nyx kissed Dante back. Nyx ran her hands all over Dante’s body causing him to return the favor; in which both moaned into the kiss.
After a few minutes Nyx pulled away, slightly shaking her head at Dante. “You suck, you know that?”
Dante laughed. “I know of something that you could be sucking right now.”
Nyx lightly smacked Dante on the chest. “I’m not that kind of girl, nasty. If you want someone to get on their knees and take care of you, then you can go talk to your little bitch boys, Aimes, and he will do anything you want him to.”
“Nyx, baby I’m not the kind of man who bats for the same team. I’m into only one woman and that is you,” Dante said.
“Well don’t think you are going to get what you want. You want me to stay by your side and give you the big family that you want, you have to beat me in a race fair and square. No cheating. Should you do anything to cheat, just to help you win. That would be an automatic forfeit,” Nyx said while pulling away from Dante.
“You really want me to embarrass you by beating you in a race,” Dante said in a playful tone.
“I’m confident that I can beat you. It seems to me you are the one who appears to be afraid of losing to a girl. Which I can understand. It would hurt your ego, especially when there are so many people here to witness you losing to me,” Nyx said. So, are you gonna put your money where your mouth is, to prove me wrong, or are you all talk?”
“Don’t complain when I beat you. Because you will be the one whose ego will be crushed. Especially when we have all of these witnesses, watching as you lose. Then you will be a good girl, and you will give me all that I want and so much more,” Dante said as he and Nyx made their way to the cars.
Chapter 16
Notes:
This story is VERY LOOSELY based off of the movie. Things have been changed to BETTER FIT the story as well as the original characters.
Chapter Text
Nyx was admiring the cars as Dante made his way over to the cars with a smile on his face. If anything, watching Nys admiring his cars brought great pride to him. He got great enjoyment out of watching his woman admire the kinds of cars that he has.
“Why don’t you pick a car that you like; you know one that you think will help you win in the race against me,” Dante said in a teasing tone.
Nyx gave Dante a playful glare. “I’m sure all of the cars that you own go fast. You don’t seem like the kind of man who likes to own a car that would cause you to lose a race.”
“You’re right about that. But I can’t help it. Sometimes when I race, there usually is a bet involved, and I’m not one who likes to lose a bet. I will do anything and everything that I can to win a race with high stakes. I hate the idea of losing money to someone else,” Dante explained.
“Right. Well, our little race doesn’t involve money. We already made it clear as to what we both want if either one of us win. Now enough with this chit chat. Let's get this race started, so I can prove to you that I am capable of beating you at this race,” Nyx said while walking over to a car climbing inside.
Dante walked over with a smile while pulling a set of keys out of his pocket, handing them over to Nyx. “I’m looking forward to racing with you.”
Nyx took the keys from Dante, placing them in the ignition, starting the car up as Dante walked over towards his own car, doing the same thing.
Both Nyx and Dante slowly made their way to the starting line with a determined look on their faces.
One of the patrons saw this and made their way over while grabbing flags, making their way between the cars, holding them up, causing Dante to rev his engine, so he could show off a little to try and impress Nyx.
Nyx rolled her eyes, not impressed one bit with Dante’s antics. Nyx was too busy remaining focused, waiting for the signal to let her know that it was time to beat Dante at his own game. I will prove to that man that I am quite capable of beating his ass in a race. I will make him regret accepting the challenge, Nyx thought to herself.
Dante glanced over at Nyx and couldn’t help but smile to himself. Every time he laid eyes on his woman, Dante always felt a sense of great pride. If only my old man were alive today; I believe he would approve of me wanting to spend the rest of my life with Nyx. Heck my old man might even go as far as to say something about her feisty attitude that she has, and how it manages to remind him a lot of my mother with her attitude. But I know my mother would also approve of Nyx. My mom would say something along the lines of how Nyx is a good woman for me; and that I should always keep her close to me; as well as keep her safe. I can see my mother calling me a damn fool if I don’t marry Nyx and allow her to slip through my fingers. That is only more motivation for me to win this race against Nyxie. Because I don’t have any intention of allowing my beautiful, feisty queen to slip through my fingers, Dante thought to himself before the flag was signaled to begin the race, causing Dante to hit the gas a slight second after Nyx did, giving her only a temporary head start.
I don’t think so Nyxie. I have every intention of making you my wife, Dante thought to himself.
I don’t know what Dante was daydreaming about back there, but I was not going to sit there and wait for him to snap out of it...not when I can win my way out of this ridiculous feud that Dante and Dom have going on with each other. Both are blockheads for dragging me into this, Nyx thought to herself as she focused on the road.
Nyx felt confident that she was gonna win the race and win her freedom. Suddenly her hopes of escaping from Dante were crushed when she saw Dante passing her. “Oh hell no you don’t. I’m not going to lose this race to Dante. I’m not taking defeat from Dante lying down,” Nyx said to herself while pushing the speed of the car. Both were nose to nose racing towards the finish line.
Both willed the cars to go a little faster than the other, that way they can win the race. Both cars crossed the finish line at the same time.
Both Nyx and Dante parked the cars, turning them off before getting out, making their way towards one another.
“Well, that was one hell of a race. Dare I say that you are a worthy opponent? I tip my hat to you Mr. Reyes,” Nyx said.
“Thank you, Ms. Toretto. You’re not so bad yourself. Though I must admit, you aren’t so bad yourself. I am quite impressed with your skill. How long has it been since you last raced like that,” Dante asked.
Nyx thought about it for a moment before replying. “It has been quite a while. The last time I raced was the night before Letty and I got into a heated argument with one another, about me racing. That was the damn straw that broke the camel's back. I remember packing my bags with intentions of staying away from home for quite some time. I knew that if I had stayed in my home, Letty would have bothered me non-stop, trying to get me to forgive her for being controlling. But had Letty managed to get me to forgive her, she would have never learned a lesson about not being controlling, had I forgiven her right away. Besides, I needed to make sure that I got some alone time without people trying to control me, and make decisions for me. Then I met you, and here we are now.”
“Yeah. Here we are now,” Dante said. “What do you suppose we do now? The race ended with a tie. Do we have another race? Do we pull straws? What do you suppose we do about this tie?”
Nyx thought about it for a moment. “If we try and do another race, it may end with another tie. We both have proven that we are both good at what we do. So, in my opinion, there’s really no point in us having another race. How about we come up with a compromise. We both get something that we want. I’ll stay with you, eventually settle down and we can have a family together. But you have to give up this obsession with getting back at my brother, for all the wrongs that he committed against you. Do you think you could do that,” Nyx asked.
Dante took a step closer with his hands behind his back, looking down at Nyx. “If that is what you want, then it is what I will give you. I only want to give you everything that you want. You are everything to me. Your happiness means everything to me.”
“Then lets give this relationship a go, and see where it leads us to,” Nyx said.
“I love the sound of that. Why don’t we bring the cars back and celebrate our new relationship,” Dante suggested.
“Alright. Would you like to drive your car directly behind me, or do you want me to wait for you,” Nyx asked.
“You go on ahead. I have something I need to take care of, before I get lost in the party scene with you,” Dante said.
“Alright. I’ll be waiting for you back at the party, Nyx said before getting in the car, making her way back to the area where the party was being held.
Dante stood there watching as Nyx turned the car around, making her way back to the party. Once Dante was sure that Nyx was far enough away, he pulled his phone out of his pocket, dialing Aimes number. The phone rang once, before Aimes picked up. “Any updates on Dominic and the rest of his friends?”
“The last update I received was that Dominic was on his way back to the states, so he can have a heart to heart with you. Are you going to hear Dominic out, or are you going to turn him away and start a new life with the little lady,” Aimes asked.
“I will deal with Dominic how I see fit. But I need you to make sure that it’s only Dominic who shows up. I don’t want to receive word that his little friends had shown up and decided to ruin my party. Besides, this little feud is between Dominic and I. I want to keep it that way. Oh, and make sure you keep Dominic and everyone else who looks suspicious away from Nyx. I’m not going to allow anyone else near my woman. I want her to be kept safe at all costs,” Dante said before hanging up the phone as he made his way back to the car; turning it around and driving back to the party where his Nyx was waiting for him.
Dom drove making his way to the airport, hoping that he could get back to the states, before Dante gave orders to hurt his sister and his wife. I hope that Han, Roman, Tej, Ramsey, Letty and Nyx are all okay. I haven’t heard from any of them. I still don’t know if Letty and Nyx are okay. The both of them were taken away in a cop car, and I still haven’t heard a damn thing about them, Dom thought to himself before his phone started to ring.
“Hello,” Dom answered while he continued to drive to his destination.
“Oh my god! Dom, thank God you answered your phone. How are you holding up my man,” Tej asked.
“I’m trying my best to keep it together at the moment. I haven’t heard from Letty or Nyx. Both of them were taken away, and I have been checking my phone non-stop looking to see if they have made an attempt to call me or text me. But every time I check my phone, I’m always disappointed to see that there are no messages or missed calls,” Dom explained. “Ramsey, do you think you can try and track either Letty or Nyx? Maybe find a location as to where they are possibly being kept?”
“I’m trying my best to track them now. I have been trying for quite some time now. But unfortunately, I can’t find anything on Letty’s location. And the last location for Nyx was at some sort of airport. But that is the last place that I tracked her to,” Ramsey replied. “I’m sorry Dom. I wish there was more that I could do to help you find both Letty and Nyx, and bring them back home to you.”
“Check and see if Dante Reyes is still here in Rome,” Dom said.
“Why? What good would tracking Dante Reyes going to do for us,” Ramsey asked.
“If you can find Dante, maybe he can give us the answers we want concerning both Nyx and Letty,” Dom explained.
“Hold on. Let me see what I can find,” Ramsey said while doing her best to find anything that would give her a clue as to where Dante might be at the moment. After a few minutes, Ramsey managed to find something on Dante. “I found something. It looks like Dante caught a flight from Rome to Los Angeles.”
“Looks like I will be meeting you guys in Los Angeles,” Dom said.
“That’s the thing Dom. We don’t have any money left in our accounts to help us get back to the states. We have to find another way to get out of Rome,” Tej said.
“I’ll go home and transfer enough money to get all of you guys back to the states safe and sound. You just leave everything to me to figure out,” Dom said hanging up, before anyone could respond to him.
“What are we gonna do? We can’t allow Dom to scrape the money together to get us all home to the States. And if he does go through with that, we all have to figure out a way to pay him back,” Ramsey said.
Roman looked down, knowing he couldn’t leave Dom to clean up his mess. I can’t allow him to do this; especially since I was left in charge of this mission, Roman thought to himself before clearing his throat, gaining his companions attention. “I can take care of the costs of getting us back home. I don’t want to be paid back for getting us home. I feel bad for getting us in this mess in the first place. I also feel bad that I couldn’t do much to help keep Nyx out of trouble.”
“Are you sure about this Roman,” Ramsey asked.

Chapter Text
“I’m sure,” Roman replied. “Look I’m the one who is responsible for getting us in this situation in the first place. I feel terrible about this. So, allow me to pay for the plane tickets, that way we can safely make our way back home; and never think about taking another trip to Rome again. What do you say?”
Tej spoke up before Ramsey could respond. “Rams, baby I know you do your best to be the voice of reason. But now is not the time for that. We have a paid trip home. And I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to get the hell out of here. This trip, it was a nightmare from hell. And I’m ready to put all of this behind me and get back to fixing things as well as get our money back that was taken from us. After that I plan on having a nice little staycation at home. Maybe hit the beach or find a beach that has a tiki bar for me to drink responsibly. I don’t want to end up looking like a damn fool fighting with the cop, and have that shit posted all over the internet.”
Ramsey shook her head at Tej, before turning to Roman. “Thank you Roman, for helping us get home. And once we all get the money together, we will pay you back for the plane tickets that you purchased. Right Tej?”
“Speak for your damn self, woman. I never agreed to do anything of the sort,” Tej said before earning a glare from Ramsey. “Oh don’t go looking at me like that either. Usually when you give me that look, it means you’re about to threaten me with-”
“Do I have to tell Nyx about you being a stubborn ass; and tell her that you’re refusing to pay Roman back,” Ramsey asked.
“Woman you know you suck,” Tej said earning a smack from Ramsey. “I wasn’t meaning in that way.”
“Sure...pervert,” Ramsey said.
Tej grumbled something incoherent before turning his attention to Roman. “Once we get the money situation all figured out, I will be sure to pay you back. Thank you for helping us get back home.”
“You’re welcome. I know I haven’t been your favorite person in the world to work with, but I’m trying my best to make it worth your while,” Roman said.
“Glad we’re all sharing a happy moment here; and I also hate to be the one that breaks it up, because that usually Roman and Tej’s job when they start to fight, but I’m ready to go home now,” Han said.
“Right. Let's get back home where we belong with our family,” Roman said.
Nyx got out of the car, walking over to where she saw a crowd of people gathered to watch another race that was going to take place.
A random man walked up to Nyx thinking that she was attending the party all alone. He decided to make a move on her and make her his girl for the night.
“Hey there sexy boo thang. What brings you to one of Dante Reyes’ parties all alone,” The man asked.
Nyx turned her attention to the man, giving him a look of disgust. “What makes you think that I’m attending this party all alone?”
“I don’t see you standing around talking with anybody else. And the whole time that I have been watching you, I haven’t seen a single man approach you, talking to you or doing anything to show you any form of affection. So, that leads me to believe that you are attending this party all on your own; which could be a dangerous thing, seeing as someone might actually take advantage of that,” the man explained.
“I bet you would love to hear that I am here all alone; and that I don’t have anyone to talk to. Well, I hate to be the one to break this bad news to you, but I’m not here alone. I’m waiting for my man to pull up. So, you can go and take your little thoughts of a one-night stand somewhere else. I don’t care where you go with them as long as they are far away from me,” Nyx said while growing more and more annoyed with the man who wouldn’t take a hint to leave her alone.
The man grew quite offended with the way Nyx was speaking to him as well as treating him. “Do you have any idea who I am? How freaking important I am? Hell, you should be considering yourself lucky that I chose to come over here to speak with you.”
“And judging by the way that you are speaking to me, asking me stupid questions about yourself and not even dropping your name, you are nobody important. You are a narcissist who pulls this kind of shit on poor unsuspecting women, hoping that she won’t all you out on your bullshit game. Newsflash dumb ass, you chose the wrong woman to be playing that game with. Now be on your merry little way before you find yourself in a situation that you can’t talk yourself out of,” Nyx replied getting ready to walk away, only to be stopped by the man grabbing hold of her arm. “Let go of my arm, before you make things worse for yourself.”
The man just laughed at Nyx’s threat. “What are you gonna do? You’re just a little woman who isn’t capable of hurting a man without feeling bad afterwards.”
“If you don’t let go of my woman, you won’t have to worry about what my woman does to you. You have to worry about what I do to you. Now, are you going to be smart and let my woman go; or are you going to continue to be stupid and keep holding onto my woman’s arm, making attempts to get my woman to sleep with you, even after she’s told you no,” Dante said from behind the man, causing the guy to turn around and look at Dante with fear in his eyes.
“Dante, I wasn’t aware that this woman was your woman. I thought she was a random woman that was attending the party. If I had known that this was your woman, I would have left her alone. Please forgive me for trying to make a move on your woman. I would have left her alone. Please forgive me for trying to make a move on your woman,” the man begged hoping that he didn’t anger Dante.
Dante gave a smile. “Of course, you didn’t know that this was my woman. I didn’t make it clear at all that this woman here is my woman. But I would have thought that you would have used your brain to figure out that she was mine. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that you are a blockhead for ignoring the fact that my woman made it clear to you that she wasn’t interested in going off with you. Are you some sort of rapist or something? Were you planning on forcing yourself on my woman?”
“I can assure you that I’m not a rapist. I’m really a decent guy who knows how to treat a woman well,” The guy said.
“If that were the case, you wouldn’t have spoken to me the way that you had. If you were a decent guy, you wouldn’t have left me alone when I told you that I wasn’t interested in going anywhere with you. But you got mad and threw a damn tantrum. You even tried to make it sound like you were someone who was very important who had all of these women throwing themselves at you; wanting to be with you,” Nyx said causing Dante to give the man a stern look.
“How much have you had to drink,” Dante asked.
“I didn’t have enough to drink to make me act like a damn fool. Come on Dante, you know me. You know I wouldn’t go and do something like that,” the guy said.
“You are someone who comes to all of the parties that I throw. You and I are only acquaintances that have crossed paths from time to time again. Before tonight, you and I have never spoked to one another. And the only reason why we are talking right now is, because you were trying to gaslight my girl into sleeping with you. If you were a true man, you wouldn’t have to go and gaslight women into sleeping with you,” Dante said before getting a serious look on his face. “I want you to get the hell out of here; and never return to any of my parties every again, I will end your life. Are we clear?”
“Yeah,” The guy said.
“Good. Now get out of my party before I shoot you right here right now,” Dante said causing the man to quickly rush out of the party. Dante watched as the man rushed out of the party; shoving everyone out of the way as he ran out of the party. Once the guy was out of sight, Dante turned to Nyx with a soft look his face. “Are you alright my love?”
“I’m fine. Thank you,” Nyx said.
“It’s no problem. Somehow that creep always manages to sneak into all of my parties and pull the same routine on all of the ladies,” Dante explained.
“Why haven’t you threatened his life sooner, if he’s always coming to your parties doing that to every single woman that attends your parties,” Nyx asked growing annoyed with Dante.
“Because I had this one girl, whom he used to bring to my parties along with him, always asking me to give him a chance, and that he never meant anything by doing what he did and said; and that he would never do any of it again,” Dante explained.
“Yet here he is again. And from what I had seen, he didn’t have a young woman hanging off his arm. In fact, he was all alone when he approached me the way that he did,” Nyx said getting slightly annoyed.
“He might have dumped the woman who defended him. I don’t know. I don’t make habit to play keeper to all guests who could potentially be trouble makers. I honestly don’t have time to go following them around. I’m a busy man. And when I’m not busy, I like to enjoy a little down time letting loose. That doesn’t involve chasing sketchy party guests around, hitting on every pretty girl, trying to get laid,” Dante said.
“So, you’re telling me that you would much rather party and let loose, rather than keep the female party guests safe from predators like that creep? You are unbelievable. I can’t deal with you right now,” Nyx said walking away with Dante chasing after her.
“Nyx baby, where on earth are you going? Why are you walking away from me,” Dante asked, causing Nyx to stop and turn around to face him.
“You can’t be serious right now. You seriously don’t know why I’m angry with you right now? You were going to allow a creep who always attends every single one of your parties to stay, and you don’t a damn thing to defend all of the innocent women, who had to deal with that sad excuse of a man, making them feel like crap, should they refuse to sleep with him,” Nyx said in a disgusted tone. “I can’t be with you or around you right now. Just leave me alone, and allow me to have some time alone, that way I can cool off before I do something to you, that I may regret later on.” Nyx turned on her heel, disappearing into the dancing party goers leaving Dante standing there, watching her disappear.
I messed up big time with Nyx. But it can be fixed. Everything will work out in my favor. It usually does. And this little argument with Nyx is nothing for me to worry about. It honestly would be silly of me to freak out and think that Nyx would act drastically like she did over something silly that had happened in the past. It happened in the past before she and I reunited together again. God Nyxie is just being a drama queen. Once she’s had the time to cool down, she will come to her senses. Hopefully she won’t learn about my little plan to make Dominic suffer, Dante thought to himself.
Little B was by the window looking out, thinking about his mom, dad and his aunt Nyx wondering when they would be back home. Little B couldn’t help but wonder if his mom, dad and aunt Nyx had returned sooner than he was told, because he spotted movement outside of the window, causing him to gasp in both surprise and excitement.
Mia was in the kitchen straightening up, when she heard Little B gasp. Mia walked over to where Little B was sitting. “What is it Little B?”
“I saw someone outside of the house just now. I think it could be my dad,” Little B replied.
“That’s impossible Little B. Your dad would have called me if they returned back from their trip. Maybe you were seeing things, because there is nobody-” Mia started to say before catching the sight of someone moving outside of her window. “Little B, get upstairs to one of the bedrooms and hide now! It’s not safe!” Little B ran as Mia began running behind him, hearing the glass shatter behind her.
Chapter Text
Mia made it to the stairs, beginning to race up them behind her nephew, only to feel a strong pain in the back of her head, as someone ran up behind her, yanking on her hair, forcing her to stop running, while screaming out in pain.
This caused little B to stop running and look back at his aunt Mia who was in a lot of pain, while attempting to fight the man who had a grip on her hair off of her.
Mia took a moment to look up and noticed little B standing there looking at her with concern in his eyes. “Run Little B! I’ll be fine. Run and get to safety!”
“Shut up bitch,” someone in uniform said before throwing Mia into the wall so hard that it winded her. “Get the damn kid so we can be on our way before Dom and his crew make their way back from their little vacation. Remember, don’t harm a hair on the kid's head, or leave a mark on him. We’re not looking to piss Dom off too bad.”
Mia struggled against the man who was pinning her against the wall, keeping her from running up the stairs to save her nephew. “L...leave him alone! Whatever vendetta you have against my older brother, that is between you and him. Leave my nephew out of it!”
“Sorry sweetheart. But our boss wants Dom to feel all the pain that he’s been through. That includes the loss of family. Don’t worry though. Your nephew will be in good hands. He will have a familiar face to care for him,” the man said.
“Your boss who sent you is nobody close to my nephew. So don’t lie to me, saying that he will be in good hands,” Mia argued while continuing to try and break free from the man’s grip.
“Oh sweet cheeks, I wasn’t referring to my boss. I was referring to Dom’s half-sister, Nyx,” the man said.
“Dom doesn’t have a half-sister named Nyx. That’s Letty’s sister. Besides, if Nyx was Dom’s half-sister, he would have told me about that a long time ago,” Mia sassed.
“That’s the thing sweet cheeks, not even Dom knew the truth about Nyx being his half sibling. He only just learned of this little bit of information. Too bad he didn’t learn about this sooner, because if he had known that Nyx was his sister, do you think he would have allowed Nyx to go out and party the way that she had before? No. He would have been more stern with her. But that’s not the case now. Nyx is exactly where she is meant to be; and there is no changing that now,” The man said before he heard the screams of the young boy come from upstairs, growing louder and louder as his men were coming own with the boy in their arms, before the screams had suddenly stopped.
“Little B! Little B! Oh my God! What the hell have you done to him,” Mia questioned growing annoyed with the man holding her against the wall.
“Don’t worry. Your nephew is only taking a little nap. Don’t worry about him. He will be fine when he wakes up. As I had told you before, he will be well taken care of,” the man said.
“What do you mean he will be taken care of? Leave him alone. Little B has nothing to do with this,” Mia said before receiving a smack to her cheek.
“You keep your mouth shut, unless you want something to happen to your nephew. Then you can be the one to explain to his father why your nephew is being tortured for all that his father has done,” the man said shutting Mia up.
Mia began to sob at the sight of her nephew knocked out in another man’s arms carrying him out the door.
“Little B doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this. If Nyxie were here, she wouldn’t allow any of this to happen to Little B. She would keep him safe from any of this,” Mia sobbed out.
“You don’t have to worry about Nyx either. She’s safe too...as long as she behaves herself. If she does anything stupid, then there is no guarantee that Nyx will continue to be safe,” the guy said. “Our boss doesn’t want any harm to come to Nyx. He’s quite fond of her. He is willing to do anything to make her happy. But if she does something stupid to provoke him, then he will do what he has to, to put the little lady in her place.”
“Letty wouldn’t allow anything bad to happen to Nyx,” Mia argued.
“Unfortunately for you and your loving brother, Letty as you called the annoying woman, she’s not in the same place as Nyx. Letty is being kept in a safe place, where she won’t interfere with my boss and his woman,” The man said.
Letty was pacing back and forth trying to figure out a way to get out of the prison she’s being held in, that way she could try and track down her sister, Nyx and save her from the horrible fate that she was possibly facing right now.
“You know pacing isn’t going to do anything to help you get out of this hellhole,” Cipher said.
“I was lied to. That girl...she said that she would have helped us out of this place,” Letty snapped.
“Alright, first of all, don’t you dare snap at me like that again. It’s not gonna get you anywhere. Secondly that girl that you put all of your faith in to help you get out of here, she had no intention of doing so. It was all a trick to get you to trust her. That and she was most likely working for her older brother, to keep an eye on things inside the jail for him,” Cipher explained.
“Why the hell would she go and do something like that? What the hell does she benefit from doing that,” Letty asked.
“She most likely remains in her brother’s good graces, and has him and his mento keep her safe when the time comes that somebody should cross her path and threaten her. Why else would she go and subject herself to being in a hellhole place like this,” Cipher asked.
“Surely she’s gaining more than what you said to be in this place spying on us,” Letty suggested.
Cipher rolled her eyes. “Even if she is, it's not like we have any way of finding out what it is. That girl is long gone. Besides, even if Lexus was still behind these walls with us, do you honestly believe that she’s gonna tell us anything that was said between her and her brother? No. If you want to get out of here, you’re gonna have to put your trust in me. I can assure you; I won’t screw you over like Lexus Reyes did.”
“When I get out of here, I owe Lexus Reyes a beating that she will never forget. Nobody gets away with pulling one over on me in the way that she did,” Letty said annoyed.
“You better hope that Dante isn’t around to stop you. I’m sure as long as Lexus stays on his good side, you won’t get a chance to give her the beating that she deserves,” Cipher said.
“And what am I supposed to do, wait for Lexus to anger her brother? I don’t believe that is possible,” Letty said.
“Oh it’s possible. Now that Dante may have an interest in a different female, Lexus might grow jealous and start trouble; that way she can have her brother all to herself again,” Cipher said.
Nyx was walking around trying to calm down when she accidentally bumped into someone.
“Why don’t you do us both a favor and pay attention to where you are walking. Your personal thoughts can wait until you reach your room,” Lexus snapped before realizing who she snapped on. “Oh my goodness, Nyx. I’m so sorry for snapping on you. I thought you were someone else.”
“Do pray tell, who did you think I was, that would give you any right to snap on me, the way that you did,” Nyx asked while tilting her head a bit at Lexus.
Lexus just shook her head. “It’s not that important really. Nothing that you should be concerning yourself with anyway. How are you enjoying my brother’s party?”
“It’s definitely a party...with too big of a crowd for my liking,” Nyx replied earning a confused look from Lexus.
Chapter Text
Lexus noticed the agitated look that Nyx had on her face while talking about the too big party that Dante is always known to throw. "Dante is always known to throw massive parties. You will get used to it the longer that you hang around with him. It's just going to take a little time to get used to it."
"And what if I don't want to get used to big parties? What if I want all of this bullshit to stop; and I want to live a normal life that doesn't involve partying and violence all the damn time? I don't want there to be rivalries between Dante and my brother? If I were to have children of my own, I wouldn't want them to be exposed to all of this. No child should have to live this kind of lifestyle," Nyx said.
"Well, too damn bad. There is no escaping this lifestyle. You are gonna have to accept that, you will have kids with my brother; and they will be part of this lifestyle as well. The children that you have with Dante, they will learn everything that they need to know from my brother. Any children that you have, they will be taking over the family business. You don't get say in it. You will learn to accept this lifestyle as well. If you can't accept the way that my brother lives his life, then you can leave. Nobody is keeping you here against your will," Lexus said in a snotty tone, growing tired of Nyx and her attitude.
Nyx smacked Lexus across the face, knocking her down to the ground, glaring at Lexus. "You will watch the tone that you take while speaking to me. Should you make the same mistake like that again, I won't hesitate to beat your ass. Think before you take a tone with me."
"I can't believe you smacked me. Just wait until I tell Dante what you did to me. He won't allow you to get away with this," Lexus said before running away from Nyx, who stood there watching as Lexus ran away.
"What a pathetic little spoiled bitch. If she believes that her older brother will do anything to punish me for the way that I spoke to her, let alone what I did to her for how she spoke to me, then she's got another thing coming. As for Dante, should he make an attempt to punish me for what I did to his sister, I'll punish him as well before I walk out of this damn house, Nyx thought to herself as she went to walk away; Nyx stopped when she heard the cries of a young boy, crying out for help, in hopes that someone would come to his rescue.
"What the hell? That sounds a lot like little B. There's no way in hell Dante would go and drag my nephew into this," Nyx said to herself in a quiet tone. Nyx walked over to where she heard the cries coming from.
Nyx was shocked by what she saw. No...no! How the hell could he allow this to happen?
Little B has nothing to do with this. I have to get my nephew and get out of here before Dom finds out that Dante took little B, Nyx thought tin herself as she was quickly making her way to where she was hearing the cries come from.
Nyx hid around the corner, peeking around, finding the room that little B was being placed in. Don't worry little B. I'll get you out of this hellhole. I'll help you get home to your
dad. After I get your mother out of jail and bring her back home to you and your father, Nyx thought to herself.
Lexus stormed throughout the house looking for her brother. Lexus was fuming at what Nyx had done to her. How dare that super bitch lay a hand on me. Does she think that she will
get away with smacking me? I hope Dante plans on punish Nyx and teach her where her place is while living among us, Lexus thought to herself while shoving people out of the way, as she looked all over for her brother.
Where the hell is Dante, Lexus thought before she heard the familiar laugh of her older brother; causing her to make her way to where she heard the laughter coming from. Lexus stopped in front of her older brother with a sour look on her face, glaring down at him, sitting on the couch drinking; all while surrounded by many women who were also drinking with him, enjoying his company.
"I see you would rather spend time drinking with a bunch of whores who are looking to get in your pants for a one-night stand, rather than spend time with your woman," Lexus said
gaining Dante's attention.
Dante rolled his eyes at what his sister had said to him, before speaking up. "Lovely to see you too Lex. Was there something you wanted to speak with me about?"
"You need to go and knock some sense into the woman that you are so hellbent on being with," Lexus said.
"What the hell are you talking about," Dante asked.
"That bitch Nyx, she smacked me across the face, after I told her that if she didn't like how we do things here, then she can get the hell out of the house," Lexus explained.
Dante jumped up from his seat, towering over his sister. "Why the hell would you go and say something like that to her?"
"I said it because your so-called woman, is demanding that we stop everything that you are doing right now to make money. She wants us to stop partying like this as celebration. She went as far as to say to me that if she were to have kids, she didn't want them to be exposed to this lifestyle. She wants you to stop feuding with Dominick Toretto, all because she finds it to be ridiculous. But she doesn't know what it's like to have her father die, by the hand of an enemy; especially one who has taken everything from her, leaving her with absolutely nothing. Honestly your damn woman is coming off as ungrateful for all that you do for her," Lexus said.
"The only ungrateful woman that I see right now, is you. You are the one who is standing in front of me, ranting about something that Nyx did to you. Truth be told you most likely did something to provoke Nyx to smack you, which in turn means you deserve what you got. Normally Nyx isn't one to go and attack someone for no reason," Dante explained.
Lexus let out a frustrated huff. "Of course, you are quick to defend that woman. She has your balls somewhere in a room. If dad were still alive, he wouldn't allow your little plaything to
get away with the way that she spoke to me or treated me. Dad would have done something to make her regret ever doing that to me," Lexus said.
"Father would have only would have done that after he got to know who was lying to him. As for punishing Nyx, you don't get to tell me what to do with my woman. Unless you are the one who is being intimate with her, I suggest you keep your suggestions to yourself," Dante snapped at his sister.
"So, you won't punish her? Fine. I hope that Nyx's brother does come for her and takes her back home with him. Maybe he can teach his sister how to be respectful towards others," Lexus said.
"Lexus, why don't you go and mingle amongst the guests and stay the hell out of my sight? Because if you continue to hang around me, running your mouth; you won't like what I do to you," Dante warned.
"Whatever. I'm done talking with you about this anyway," Lexus said before walking away from her brother.
Dom rushed all the way home, rushing over to Mia's house, knocking on the door frantically hoping that Mia would answer the door.
Slowly the door opened, revealing a battered Mia standing there looking scared as she held her head. "Dom, I'm so sorry. I tried to keep them from taking little B.
"It's okay Mia. You didn't know that this would happen. I don't hold this against you. I will get my son back. Once I do, we can then focus on getting Letty home, and we can have a huge cookout and forget all of this ever-taking place," Dom said.
"What about Nyx? Are you going to save her and bring her back home to," Mia asked.
"I plan on it. There is no way in hell I'm going to be leaving our sister with a guy who would use her against me, to cause me pain," Dom said.
Chapter Text
Dom was about to walk out the door but was stopped, by Letty walking through the door.
“Letty,” Dom said causing Letty to run over and pull him into a tight hug. “Letty, where on earth were you?”
“I was separated from Nyx. I was sent to some prison that is in some secret location. But I managed to get out with a little help,” Letty said while looking around. “Where the hell is Nyx? I don’t see her anywhere. Don’t tell me that she’s still angry with me. I thought she would have gotten over the issue by now.”
“Letty, Nyx is with Dante Reyes. He has her as well as Little B. He took him to try and punish me,” Dom explained.
“Then what the hell are we doing standing around here talking? We have to go and save Little B, and Nyx before Dante does something to hurt them,” Letty said.
“You are going to stay here with Mia, while I save both Little B and Nyx,” Dom said.
“I’m not going to stand here and be told what to do. I can’t stay here and wait for you to bring Little B and Nyx. I want to go along with you and save them. Maybe I can get through to Nyx and get her to hear me out,” Letty argued.
“No! I’m going to put my foot down with this. You and I both know that if you come along to save Nyx, and you try to talk to her, you will only push her away even more. I think you need to give Nyx some space. Give me time to talk to her and see if I can get through to her. Do you trust me,” Dom asked.
Mia noticed the stubborn look that Letty had on hre face. “Letty, do you trust Dom to get through to Nyx to bring her home?”
“Fine. I trust you to bring them home. But if you don’t bring them home before two hours, I’m coming to help you save Little B and Nyx,” Letty said before walking out of Mia’s house.
Dom turned to face Mia with concern on his face. “Do you think I’m doing the right thing by going alone without Letty? Or do you think that I’m beginning to destroy my marriage?”
“Dom, you aren’t doing anything wrong by telling Letty to stay home. You telling her to stay behind is for the best. If she went with you, and Nyx saw her, there is n way that you would convince Nyx to come back home. Letty has to learn to let go of some of the control, and trust that you know what you are doing. Now, go and save my nephew and our sister. Bring them home, that way we can have a big ol’ celebration,” Mia said giving Dom an encouraging smile.
Dom gave Mia a smile before turning to leave. Don’t worry Little B. I’m coming to save you and your aunt Nyx.
Nyx waited a bit to be sure that nobody was standing guard outside of the room, before making her way over, turning the knob to the door. Nyx was shocked to find that it had been left open.
One of Dante’s idiotic men most likely forgot to lock the door. It doesn’t matter though. It makes it easier for me to get in, grab my nephew and get out. Maybe I can steal one of Dante’s cars and bring Little B home before Dom comes for him, Nyx thought as she opened the door, catching her nephew’s attention.
“Aunt Nyx! I missed you so much,” Little Brian said while running over to Nyx, hugging her tightly.
“Little Brian, I’m gonna get you out of here, and bring you back home with your dad and Letty. Dante never should have gotten you involved in his vendetta in the first place,” Nyx said.
“How sweet, giving the little brat false hope that you’re gonna return him to his father. Unfortunately, I can’t allow you to do that. My brother needs him, to cause your brother the same amount of pain that he’s caused mine by killing our father,” Lexus said gaining Ny and Little Brian’s attention.
“Little B is an innocent child. He has nothing to do with what happened to your father. Let him go home,” Nyx begged.
“As satisfying as it is to see you beg, I’m not my brother. I won’t give into you that easily,” Lexus said while raising a gun pointing it at Nyx. “Honestly, my brother should have killed you. You’re only making him weak. Not just that, but you’re clouding his judgment. Don’t worry though. I’ll get rid of you. Eventually my brother will see things my way; he will see it had to be done. And he will forgive me and forget all about you as you rot back into the ground.”
“Kill me then. But leave my nephew out of this,” Nyx said.
“No. He’s gonna die alongside you,” Lexus said while getting ready to shoot Nyx.
“Not today bitch,” Someone screamed from behind Lexus, causing her to turn around.
“What? How the he-” Lexus started before being shot in the head.
“Nobody threatens my extended family like that,” Tej said before turning his attention to Nyx and Little B. “I bet you’re surprised to see me.”
“I am. But I’m also grateful,” Nyx said before she and her nephew made her way over to Tej. “How did you manage to find us?”
“Ramsey’s amazing skills. That and we made sure that you had a tracker on the one necklace that you always wear. Ya know the one I gave you for your birthday. We kind of forgot about it, until Ramsey remembered it.”
“How sweet, a class reunion being held inside my house, when the party is being held outside,” Dante said before looking down and spotting Lexus’ dead body on the floor. “What the hell happened to Lexus?!?!?”
“Dante, she threatened to kill my nephew and I. If she had lived, I wouldn’t be here right now,” Nyx said while taking a step closer to him. “If you’re willing to let go of your revenge plot against my brother, and make peace with him, then you and I can become husband and wife. And we can start on creating a family of our own. But you have to do the right thing. Please, do it for me?”
Dante thought about what Nyx had said to him. Am I truly willing to walk away from getting revenge for my father’s death? Do I want to do that, so that way I can have my dream life with my dream girl? It would be worth it. I would honestly do anything if it means I have my Nyx by myside. She’s the only girl who can make me a better man, Dante thought to himself.
Dante turned his attention to Little Brian with a smile on his face. “Hey little dude, why don’t you head downstairs with your dad’s friend. I have some important things to talk about with your aunt.”
Tej grabbed hold of Little Brian’s hand quickly pulling him out of the room, knowing what Dante meant by what he said. “Come on little man. I’m sure your dad is here looking for you.”
“What did he mean by he wanted to talk to my aunt? What is he gonna talk to her about,” little Brian asked.
“Little Brian, he’s gonna get a piece. You know tap that,” Tej explained while walking away.
Nyx shook her head before turning to Dante. “Is it true?”
“Is what True,” Dante asked.
“Are you gonna get some of this,” Nyx asked while motioning to herself.
“Hell yeah I am. You’re mine and nobody is going to stop me from making you the mother of my children,” Dante said before pulling Nyx into a passionate kiss while running his hands all over Nyx’s body.
Dom arrived and was greeted by Tej and Little Brian waiting for him. Dom glanced around noticing that Nyx and Dante weren’t anywhere to be found. “Tej, where the hell is my little sister?”
“I wouldn’t go looking for her right now man. She’s a bit busy getting some vitamin D if you know what I mean,” Tej said.
“What are you talking about,” Dom asked.
“She’s getting tapped dad,” Little Brian said causing Tej’s eyes to bug out of his head.
Chapter Text
Dom looked at his son in shock at what he heard come from his son’s mouth. “Care to repeat yourself son?”
Little B was about to repeat what he said the first time but was stopped by Tej placing his hand over Little B’s mouth. “There really is no need to have the little guy repeat what he said before.”
Dom gave Teh a stern look. “If you won’t allow my son to speak, then maybe you can tell me where the hell he learned something like that.”
“I promise I never said anything like that around Little B. Usually when Little B is around, I’m on my best behavior. No offense man, but Letty can be scary. Though Letty’s anger is calm compared to your sister Nyx’s temper. Nobody can scare me like Nyx can. Please don’t tell Nyx what Little B said. She may rip my dick off man,” Tej begged.
“Maybe that’s what you deserve. Now if you don’t mind, keep a close eye on my son. And no more teaching him inappropriate things. If I find out that he’s learned something new from you, I’m telling Nyx,” Dom warned before walking to go find where his sister and Dante were.
Dom was walking down the hall, looking for any doors that may have been closed, letting him know that it was occupied by a couple. After searching for a bit, Dom was about to give up, when he suddenly heard moans and grunts coming from a room that was a few doors down away from him.
Oh dear god. Please don’t tell me that Nyx is allowing this guy to screw her, Dom thought as he quietly made his way down the hall where he heard the noises coming from. When Dom approached the door, he was shocked by the sight before him.
“Nyx,” Dom screamed causing Dante and Nyx to pull apart, with Nyx glaring at him while covering herself with a sheet.
“Dom, I’m not a little girl who needs to be lectured. Secondly, if you don’t get the hell out of here, I’m gonna make you regret interrupting us,” Nyx warned causing Dom to run off and find Tej.
When Dom found Tej, the rest of his crew was also standing with him.
Tej noticed the look that Dom had on his face, knowing that Dom found Nyx and Dante. “I tried to warn you not to go looking for them. But you didn’t want to listen to me man. So you only have yourself to blame for that.”
“I told you dad,” Little B started to say.
“Don’t finish that sentence,” Dom said as Dante and Nyx made their way over to the group.
“No, let the little guy speak,” Dante said before turning to Little B. “What was it that you wanted to say?”
“Dad didn’t want me to say that Auntie Nyx was getting tapped,” Little B said causing Dante to bust out laughing, while Nyx was glaring at him.
“You find what my nephew said funny,’ Nyx asked Dante.
“Baby don’t be like that. Your nephew is only a little kid,” Dante began.
“Yet you found what he said to be funny. Since you find it so damn hilarious, let's see how you find no sex for a while to be funny,” Nyx said.
“Damn, that’s brutal,” Tej said gaining Nyx’s heated gaze. “Oh shit. I’m in for it now.”
“You’re damn right you are. What the hell were you thinking teaching Little B that, it’s alright to say something like that,” Nyx asked in an angered tone.
“I think I’m gonna run now,” Tej said.
“Good idea,” Nyx said before Tej took off running, with Nyx following behind him, threatening to castrate him.
Dom stood there laughing while watching as Tej ran away from Nyx.
“Don’t let your sister see you laughing. She’s still pretty angry with you too. I don’t think she forgot that she’s still mad at you,” Han said.
“I know. That is who Nyx is though. I wouldn’t have her any other way,” Dom said.
A few months later
Dom and his crew were gathered at Abuela’s house enjoying family time, while manning the grill.
Abuela was in the kitchen cooking when Mia walked into the kitchen.
“Abuela, what on earth are you doing? I thought you were going to sit down and allow everyone else to take care of all of the cooking,” Mia asked as she walked over to her Abuela.
“Mia, darling you know I can’t just sit around and allow others to do all of the cooking. I need to do something to help keep my mind busy. If I don’t my mind will only wonder back to Nyx. Oh how I miss her. I wish she would make her way home and pay me a visit. I haven’t seen her in months,” Abuela said as Mia gently grabbed hold of Abuela’s arm, gently leading her out of the kitchen. “Mia dear, what on earth are you doing? Why are you leading me out of the kitchen? I need to get that potato salad and macaroni salad done. Oh and I can’t forget to finish the snack tray.”
“Abuela, you don’t have to worry about all of that. Will you please come outside and relax,” Mia asked before noticing that Abuela was about to argue with her. “Abuela, if you don’t come out and relax, you won’t get your surprise.”
“Surprise? What surprise? Dom didn’t mention anything about a surprise to me,” Abuela said as Mia led her to the head of the table, that was set outside. Abuela turned her attention to Dom, who was looking at her with a smile on his face. “Dominic Toretto, I know when you smile like that, you are hiding something from me. You better come clean and tell me what it is that you are hiding from me.”
“Why do you always think that I’m hiding something Abuela? Can’t I be happy that things are back to normal,” Dom asked.
“Things aren’t back to normal though. Things will always feel incomplete without Nyx around,” Abuela was cut off.
“Is right here! Surprise Abuela,” Nyx said as she and Dante approached Abuela.
“Nyx! Oh my darling Nyx, I thought you were going to miss another family barbeque,” Abuela said before turning her attention to Dante. “Who is this young man?”
“Abuela, this is my partner, Dante Reyes. He’s also something more than that,” Nyx said while handing Abuela a wrapped present.
“Nyx, darling you know you didn’t have to get anything for me. Just having you here is enough for me,” Abuela said.
“Abuela open the present. It’s the other part of your surprise. Don’t you want to see it,” Nyx asked.
Abuela looked at the gift in her hand before looking back at Nyx, before focusing back on the present, opening it up. Abuela opened it ripping the paper off, before opening the box. Abuela lifted the frame out before looking at Nyx with tears in her eyes. “Oh my goodness, you’re...”
“I’m pregnant Abuela. You’re going to have another great grandchild,” Nyx said before Dom and Letty walked over to her.
“Congrats baby sis. You’re having a little one of your own,” Dom said.
“I can’t believe that you,” Letty began.
“Don’t start. Why don’t you go grab us a seat at the table,” Dom said causing Letty to walk away in anger, as Tej walked over.
“Since you’re pregnant now, does that mean I’m safe from you kicking my ass for a while,” Tej asked.
“Not really. Just because I can’t kick your ass myself, doesn’t mean that Dom won’t do it for me,” Nyx said.
“Nyx baby, play nice now. Tej didn’t do anything to upset you. Besides, the stress isn’t good for the baby,” Dante said before placing a kiss on the side of her head.
“I love you Dante,” Nyx said while snuggling closer to him.
“I love you too baby,” Dante said while holding her closer, before turning to Tej, “If you do anything to upset my girlfriend, you won’t have to worry about Dom. I’ll be the one to make you pay for my girl and our baby.”
