Perhaps—
We never really get over our first love. We tend to pretend that we don't care about the anymore and that their actions don't affect us but the truth is they do. Our first loves were and always will be the first people who introduced these weird feelings within us. There were mostly likely our first heartbreak and that gives a distinct feeling of bitterness. First loves might also have been responsible for taking away most of our other firsts as well. They mean more to us than we would like to think. Getting over them was probably the hardest thing anyone has ever had to do. Some say you never get over them, you just find a coping mechanism to get you through the rest of your life but one thing for sure is when you do see them; your heart and mostly likely to flutter. Be it with hatred or just a nostalgic feeling. That hate could easily turn back into love and quickly turn back into hate.
This was how Garreth McCarthy felt. How this evening ended up being cancelled and why were they at a private hospital? Della was crying in her father's arms—
And yes, Spencer was there as well.
Garreth had pulled his daughter into his arms when he saw Spencer forcing his unwanted love on Della. She didn't want any of his support, she didn't want him, she just wanted Andre..
Unfortunately Andre had not been allowed anywhere near the premises. He fought and fought saying he wanted to be with Della in this moment but Garreth's men pushed him away, even earning him a black eye.
Garreth was beyond heartbroken.
Flavio Cruz, Garreth's usual hit man. Whom Garreth had assigned tie up Spencer in the basement of the yacht, tie him up and wait to confront him. Garreth had planned for Della to be the one to decide what he should do to Spencer, he wanted Della to beat up and torture Spencer while Flavio held him up. Ofcourse after a bit a torture.. Garreth intended to tell Spencer that he was forgiven and that they could be back to normal only for the shipping to go wrong and Spencer getting arrested. He didn't want Spencer getting an easy way out such as death. By then Garreth would have drained all funds from Spencer's bank accounts or name. There were many people who had died during his reign as Mafia Don of Manchester. Their bodies were never found but Garreth had told someone that at the right time they would have dug up all the evidence. Garreth McCarthy wanted to stay clean from all this now. Spencer going to prison would mean that he has to close down all his shady businesses. He didn't mind, he wanted to close everything illegal down and only keep the real estate agency and the shares he has in different companies. Many people were obedient to Garreth McCarthy as they knew how dangerous he was. He had paid them to be witnesses saying yes.. Spencer Hurst was the anonymous Don of Manchester who they have been looking for. Yes, all of Garreth's sins would be taken by Spencer and the only person Spencer had besides the mafia friends like Passos was Ignacio. Garreth had warned most of the mafia bases to not and never help Spencer because if they did.. he would end them. Garreth was their biggest alliance so it was inevitable they would agree. All the mafia groups on that yacht knew exactly what was coming for Spencer and had not muttered a word but only felt sympathy for him. Who is to even say that after Spencer lands in jail, Garreth would kille him after he has taken all of Garreth's blame. Supposedly, it was a good thing that no one knew what the Don of Manchester looked like, some thought he was a myth or they had just never seen him before.
"Is my mommy going to be alright?" Lyle asked Adela who had been trying really hard to compose her crying in front of her thirteen year old boy.
Garreth felt bad for him.
His mother was a selfish cunt. She really aimed to take the easy way out and leave him and Della motherless well not that she had ever been a mother to Della.
