Atlas pov

i have your bitch here, come home where you belong forget your half siblings they do not matter, i'll even tell you about your mother"

Those are the last words he says to me before hanging up, Arthur's thinks I don't know about my mother's disappearance but that's false I know everything
I know he beat her to death when she tried to leave with me and Manny.
Our beautiful lovely mother, the woman who always smiled at others and helped those who needed it the most even though in my eyes she suffered too much to still be selfless and kind.

What she saw in that man I will never know.

After her death there was a deep rooted hate within me for everyone, but Zion stayed by my side as did the rest of the guys.

Nia had come crying to me when I was around 16 telling me of what she witnessed instead of grieving my  loss I held the younger girl in my arms and hushed her to sleep those nights me, Manny, Zion and Nia were closer then ever we would all sleep together and be together but after mother died nobody was there to save us from the wrath of that man.

I was the oldest it was my duty to take on her role, I had to allow him to beat me much more then the rest. It was the only thing I knew how to do.

Unfortunately for him today will be his last day.

"She's there, Athens" Roman told me the obvious, "no shit Sherlock I can clearly fucking see where she is."

Everyone was staring at me but I didn't give a shit the woman I love is not here in my arms. She's not here with us, with me where I can protect her.

What the fuck is going on, we were going to come home have our own firework display and then I had our bedroom decorated with candles and roses so I could make love to her all night but no my asshole, reject, inbred of a father took the love of my life from me and I'm going to get her back.

One way or another I will have her back.

"Zion and Bear get the jet ready, Manny your staying here"
That got him out of whatever depressed state he was in "absolutely not I'm going with you"
"No it's too dangerous"

"Atlas I'm not the scared boy I once was"

"He's only looking out for you buddy" Zion flunked his arm around Manny completely engulfing him.

"We can get there by tonight and whatever happens we finish Arthur and whatever illegal shit he's got going on"

"He wants you to get your hands dirty so that way he will always have control over you" Roman uttered.

"I don't give a shit we are killing once and for all and I swear sister or not if Nia gets in the way we're getting rid of her chance to breath" Noah looked down at that I knew him and Nia used to have a thing but now isn't the time for nostalgia now is not the time for change.

"Atlas I love you, your my big brother but I'm coming with you" I didn't have enough time to argue with him right now, "fine but you stay with Zion and Bear until I let you know you can come out"

"Why though?"

"Why do you think, the minute Arthur sees you he will kill you on sight"

He walked away from me, muttering a 'fine' under his breath. I know he's stronger than before but he's still my little brother.

I thought of Anisah knowing my girl was probably  annoying and bothering them instead of crying. The day I took her from her home she didn't seem too scared so I'm sure she knows I'm coming for her.

Thanks to the necklace and all.

The door to the study opens and Zion slowly shut the door behind him. "The jets ready let's go" before I could leave he placed his hand on my chest. "Don't let your anger get in the way, we need to be smart about this"
"Zion I don't need you telling me things I already know now let's go"

I call for Noah and Roman who were waiting at the stairs. " you two let's go"

The plane awaited for us and Arthur awaited his demise.

The atmosphere was tense nobody said a single world and I could tell the past year Anisah has taken her place in everyone's heart one way or another.

Many hours later

Landing back in Athens it felt bitter sweet, such a beautiful city but it only left a bad taste in my tongue. "Right Noah, Manny and Roman you three go to the other SUV Bear and Zion you both are coming with me"

"Take this earpiece so we can stay communicated"  not many people knew I used to trade gun shipments with my father, good thing I held onto some I always had a feeling this day would come where he would charge at me with someone I held dearly and it just happened to be the love of my life.

Manny's eyes widened at the shot gun I tucked in the waistband of my trousers. "I'll explain everything later to you but for now do not follow"

"Right listen up, Noah drive slowly behind us but stay away from the estate the last thing he needs to know is that all of us are here."

We headed our separate ways Zion and Bear with me the drive to the estate was fast and we made it under 30 minutes.

"Stay behind me you two god knows how many guards he has placed inside"

Upon entering i was very wrong indeed it was silent way too quiet not a single soul in sight. "Hrmm sure is quiet", Zion looked at Bear annoyed "no shit dummy, let's just get this over with"

We took the stairs that led to the basement and I could feel it, I could feel his presence. "You two stay here"

"Are you sure"

"Yes make sure nobody comes in"

Opening the very family doors I was left with a sight I'd never thought i would see.

Nia was dead, she was hung upside down with a singular bullet hole in between her eyes. "I'm glad you could make it son"

I didn't take my eyes off my sister, my little sister, "what did she ever do to you"

"It's a long list really do you have time, I surely don't in less then 29 minutes I'll have my men storming this building ready to cause havoc on your other brother you know the one who's waiting outside.

"But why? Why would you do all this just so I become the next you?"

Arthur slammed his hand down on the table "you are my blood not Nia and not Zion YOU ARE! And Manny that boy simply doesn't have it in him, he took after his mother"

I took a slow step towards him. "You miss her?"

"Obviously I miss my mother"

"Not her silly I'm taking about your bride that never got to be"

At the mention of Anisah i grabbed the old man by his coller and slammed him into the wall "where the fuck is she"

"Oh don't worry about her son, she's very much alive maybe, it's a shame, since you left your home with me you've gotten softer and fell in love with a Indian bitch." He laughed in my face.

"Might wanna hurry to your girl" his smirk will always haunt me.

And that's when I saw red i threw him to the ground and layed punch after punch until his face was covered in red.

A soft cry could be heard from the distance which made me stop.

I left Arthur there to cough on his blood, "I'm not done with you"

I quickly got up and ran to where the sound was coming from down the hallway,
in the basement was a caged room.  A room I was very familiar with a room where I was left to starve for days at a time.

There she was still in the same beautiful dress but it lost the shine. Her skin bloodied and bruised her long dark locks were matted. In my eyes she still looked beautiful

"Baby baby hey it's me I'm here" as I held her in my arms there was no movement so I shook her, my heart racing a mile "Anisah baby wake up"

"The bride that never got to be" Arthur limped in from behind me shit he managed to take my gun from me.

He pointed at Anisah who was in my arms. "Don't you fucking dare shoot her"

"All you had to fucking do was take over my life's work but inste-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DEAD BEAT"

"All you ever have done is abuse me over and over and you really think I would want anything from a pathetic old man like yourself"

He clenched his jaw taking the safety off the gun and fired.

I'm pretty sure I saw Zion burst into the room with Bear behind him guns at the ready.

Looks like his men came after all.
