I never even realized that I had the privilege of light until it got taken away.Now here I was, trapped in a room...in the dark. I had no way of knowing what his next move would be, why he felt it necessary to have me trapped in the dark. But something told me that this was all part of his game. A dangerous game that I hoped I had the courage to play.I pulled my legs closer to my chest and buried my face between my arms. I would make my own darkness by closing my eyes and hiding my face, rather than endure his.Rocking back and forth I tried my best to ignore my fear, and the hunger pangs that plagued my insides. I've never hated my body this much. The way my stomach growled, my throat burning with thirst. I was so damn hungry and thirsty, I felt like I could become a savage at any moment.

But yet again, Lila managed to surprise me by proving me wrong.After placing the box in front of the door she got onto the bed and hadn't moved since. She just sat there against the headboard with her legs pulled up, leaning her head back, or on her arms. She didn't even cry anymore, and I noticed that her body had stopped shaking.The entire time I watched her I kept on wondering if I had been wrong about her.

LILA POV My throat was dry, and even though I felt sick to my stomach, my body craved food.There was no telling how long I'd been here, or when I last had something to eat or drink but when Damon placed the tray with bread and what I now knew was water and vinegar on the bed, eating or drinking was the last thing on my mind.The second I laid eyes on Damon, my skull prickled with warning. Nico had darkness burning in his eyes, but Damon? There was something far more sinister stirring in him, and it made my skin crawl. Oh God.What the hell was happening?What am I going to do?How am I going to survive this whatever this is?Wiping away the remnants of tears from my cheeks, I stared at the stale loaf of bread. What I really wanted was water, but when I tasted that god awful vinegar, the gulp I took burned down my throat.Unfortunately, that small taste of water only intensified my thirst, and now I was even willing to see how much of the disgusting water-vinegar mix my body could to

LILA POV"Oh my God."I rocked back and forth, clutching my knees against my chest, my face buried in my arms. I didn't want to look up. I couldn't. What the fuck was happening? Who were these people? And why the fuck was there a severed finger in that motherfucking box?Better yet, whose finger was that?No, I didn't want to know. I just wanted to wake up and realize this was a nightmare. But the longer I sat there, the more I realized it was real. I'd been kidnapped. Nikolai was dead. And his twin brother had just left me a human finger in a box.

At first, I thought for sure she was playing games, trying to trick me. It made sense. Being a Falcone, one of the most powerful families in New York, her father would have prepped her on these things, taught her how to handle herself when things got tough.But now? I wasn't so sure. The way she reacted the expression on her face when I told her Nikolai was dead one couldn't fake that. Either she was telling the truth, or she was one hell of an actress. Our families had never crossed paths until Nikolai's death. They knew nothing of the outfit and clearly underestimated us by thinking they could get away with murdering one of our own. They had no clue what it meant to be a powerful Mafia family. It wasn't just about ruling and throwing weight around. It wasn't a motherfucking gang dabbling in d
