Chapter: I am wholeDante’s POVI shot my brother a dark, lethal glare that usually made hardened soldiers beg for their lives.But Romeo just sat on the cold stone floor, wiping a tear of pure amusement from his cheek.I looked back at my wife. Isabella was standing in the middle of the ruined vault. The gun I had taught her how to use was shoved carelessly into the waistband of her sweatpants. She looked entirely terrifying, breathtakingly beautiful, and absolutely furious.I let out a sigh as the last shreds of my pride evaporated into the dusty air."I couldn't find it." I admitted as I kicked a priceless, shattered Renaissance vase out of the way. "I tore the entire room apart.""You stayed down here..." Isabella stammered, pointing a shaking finger at the scattered gold bars and ruined furniture. "You stayed in a bloody vault for three hours to look for a piece of metal?""It is not just a piece of metal!" I argued defensively, gesturing to my bare finger. I looked at Romeo for backup, which was

Chapter: For the last three hoursIsabella’s POVViktor moved first and swept into the dimly lit vault very carefully, tracking for targets. Romeo stepped in right behind him, still shielding me from whatever horrors awaited us inside.I braced myself for the worst. I prepared my mind to see the love of my life broken on the floor, bleeding out, missing a hand. I prepared myself for a firefight, for a desperate scramble to save whatever was left of him."Room clear," Viktor rumbled, though his deep voice sounded utterly completely bewildered. He slowly lowered his rifle.Romeo stopped dead in his tracks, his gun dropping to his side. He let out a strange, choked sound that was half-gasp, half-sob.I pushed past Romeo’s arm, my heart in my throat, terrified of what they were staring at.The vault was absolutely destroyed. It looked like a bomb had gone off inside a museum. Ancient tomes were shredded across the floor, antique glass cabinets were shattered into a million pieces.In the far corner, lying on the stone w

Chapter: Dimly lit devastationIsabella’s POVViktor spun around fast with his rifle raised and leveled directly at my chest before I could even take another breath.But the moment his ice-cold eyes focused in the dim light and registered my face, he completely froze. He lowered the weapon instantly and blinked. Viktor was covered in a horrifying amount of blood, ash, and dirt, but as I closed the distance between us, a relief washed over me. He was completely uninjured. "Mrs. Galante?" Viktor breathed, stepping over the body of a fallen guard to meet us halfway. His eyes darted to Romeo, who still had his gun raised. "Mr. Romeo? What are you doing here? This fortress is heavily contested. You shouldn't be within a hundred miles of this grid.""Where is he, Viktor?" I demanded, completely ignoring his question. "Where is Dante?"Viktor’s thick brow furrowed in deep confusion. "He is in the vault. Level three." Viktor answered slowly. "He cleared the path, sealed the secondary doors behind him, and told me to hol

Chapter: The vaultIsabella’s POVStepping out of the elevator, I took a step toward the car in the garage and just then I heard a voice."Isabella?"A second later, Romeo stepped into the pale overhead light. He looked like he had been pacing the garage, completely unable to sleep."Move, Romeo." I warned. I didn't stop walking. I marched straight toward the driver's side of the SUV, pulling the keys from my pocket.Romeo moved faster. His hand clamped down firmly over mine before I could even touch the door handle."You are shaking like a leaf." Romeo stated, his dark eyes scanning my face. "What the hell happened? Did Viktor call? Did Dante…""There was a box..” I cut him off, the words tumbling out of my mouth in a broken rush. I couldn't hold it back anymore. "Outside the penthouse doors. They jammed the entire grid. Inside the box, it…” I breathed. “It was a severed hand. With Dante’s wedding ring on it."The color instantly drained from Romeo’s face. For three agonizing seconds, I saw a younger b
