He saw Teresa whisper to Vance, smiling lovingly at him, and knew he would never forgive that bastard for taking his daughter away. For double-crossing him. He would do anything to get what was his, even if it meant crashing the damn wedding.
The meal was long and boring. Jimmy ignored pretty much every attempt from his tablemates to start a conversation. Questions like, “Are you with the bride or the groom?” and “How did you meet them?” were bothersome and unwanted. He was waiting for the perfect moment to confront Vance, and for the time being, he focused on enjoying the meal and the wary looks Vance would give him from time to time.
Every time Vance looked at him, he stared back, smiling at the corner of his lips, knowing exactly that Vance was aware of the threat: he was going to destroy all the lies he had built. If that did not make Teresa go back home, at least it would push her away from the fool.
When the reception ended, and the music began, Jimmy knew his time was coming. He watched as the couple made it to the dance floor and ordered a whiskey as he waited for the right moment.
Jimmy tried to focus on his revenge, instead of the joy he saw on his daughter’s face as she twirled across the floor, letting herself go in the arms of her husband. That did not matter. The only thing that mattered was that he would never forgive Vance for betraying him, and if that meant going over Teresa... Well, maybe if she saw that all men were the same and her new life was pointless, she would give in and go back home.
The song ended and, after a while, Jimmy noticed that Vance was leaving her side. He whispered something in her ear, and his daughter went to dance with her friends as Vance crossed the ballroom towards the bar.
This was Jimmy’s chance.
He left his empty glass at the table and got up, wandering a bit to gain some time before heading to the bar himself. Vance had not noticed him approach, too hypnotized by Teresa’s dancing figure on the dance floor, and he enjoyed watching the lad jump in fright as he took his side.
“Ye ‘ave me congratulations, lad. What a nice couple ye make,” he spat. Vance looked at him, and for a moment Jimmy thought that he would play along with him, pretending to still be working for him.
“What the hell are you doing here, Jimmy?” He growled, eyes narrowed. Jimmy was impressed. The lad had more balls than he had given him credit for. He smiled dangerously and leaned towards him.
“Well, it’s me daughter’s wedding. Wouldn’t miss it for the world,” he said innocently. Vance’s stare was burning into his eyes, and it looked like he may even lose it and throw a fist in his face. He did not mind: it had been too long since he got into a fight. But instead, the lad chose to speak.
“You can kiss Teresa goodbye after tonight. I am not bringing her back to your hellhole, even if you offered all the money in the world. I’m done with you, Jimmy.” His words were filled with poison, but Jimmy let them slide. The angrier the lad became, the more probable it was that he made a mistake, exposing himself in front of Teresa.
“Do ye really want to discuss this here?” Jimmy asked, raising his eyebrows and cocking his head towards Teresa. Vance frowned for a moment, and without saying a word, he headed to the kitchen. Jimmy followed him, and they entered the corner of the kitchen where they were partly hidden. Seeing the groom there, the personnel let it slide and left them alone.
“Get out, Jimmy,” Vance threatened him, clenching his fists. Jimmy laughed, hard and cold. His throat ached, but he did not stop.
“Ye know that’s not happenin’ that easily. I’ll go back when I get Teresa back.” He took a step towards Vance and roughly grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Vance grabbed Jimmy’s forearm.
“She will never go back to you.”
The lad still had balls, but he was starting to piss Jimmy off. From the corner of his eye, he saw the door of the kitchen opening and knew it was time: Vance had not seen Teresa, but she was there, just in time to listen to everything.
“Ye listen to me! Ye have to come back to the club immediately, lad!” he yelled, raising his voice on purpose.
“I will not, boss.” He made it sound like an insult, and it took all of Jimmy’s will not to beat the hell out of the kid.
“This ain’t the plan! Ye were supposed to marry her and bring her home, or else...!” he threatened.
He did not need to say anything else. A sudden noise interrupted them. They let go of each other, and Vance rushed towards the kitchen door. Teresa looked horrified and scurried away with Vance running after Teresa, calling her name.
Jimmy walked behind them at a leisurely pace, smiling, as he knew his plan had worked. Teresa had heard their exchange, and now she knew the truth. By the look on her face, it seemed that she had really loved Vance, but it was for the best. The deeper the cut, the longer it would take to heal.
Teresa and Vance had disappeared from the restaurant, and their guests looked at each other in confusion. Jimmy sat back in his chair, ordered another whiskey, and sat back.
Vance Tate had played with fire and got burnt. Now he would never forget that nobody crossed Jimmy Love and got away with it.
