Maya's pov“Let's go,” Giovanni says, coming in with a set of keys. He removes the cuffs pushing me forward.“Can I get some shoes?” I ask the cold floor biting at my skin. He gives me a bored look leading me to one of the female employees.“Do you have any shoes you can spare?” He asks.The brown girl looks at me from head to toe then moves to her desk where she removes some Dr Martins. “If those don't fit that's your problem.”I grimace at the thought of wearing someone's shoes but they look clean and it's not like I have an option. I slide them on and they fit perfectly.“Where are you taking me?” I ask as he presses the elevator door open. His hand still firmly tucked on my bicep.“I'd advise you to keep quiet,” he spits and I roll my eyes.“I deserve to know where I'm going if it's not back to my house.”He chuckles, bringing his face closer to mine. “If you haven't noticed this yet, you are never going back to your old life,” he says, his tone making a shiver run down my spine.

Cassian's povI chew down on my lip as Holden sits next to me. I don't know what to talk about first, the fact that the feds have Maya or what the fuck he is doing kissing my wife.“What is your relationship with Maya?” I ask, my fingers tightening against the steering wheel.He looks at me, confusion etching on his face. “What do you mean?” He asks, trying to play dumb.I press on the brakes. “Stop playing stupid with me Holden I know you are seeing her.”His lips fall open. “What, How?”I scoff. “I have photos of you shoving your tongue down her throat and messaging her like a damn fool when you went in front of my face and told me we are done with her.”His face darkens. “Guess we're both liars.”My brows furrow. “What the fuck does that mean?”He shakes his head. “What are you keeping from me?”“I'm not keeping anything from you.”His eyebrows perk. “Really, so everything you're doing I know.”“Stop beating around the bush and just come out with it.”“I know one of us is not Dad's

Maya's pov“For what?” I ask my eyes wide from shock.“You and your things are coming with us,” the redhead says motioning two of his men to grab me, while the other ones raided my apartment.“No…why?”They approach me. “What? Stop I didn't do anything wrong,” I shout apprehension clawing at my skin.This is insane. I haven't committed any crime.“We will decide that,” the man says as they grab me pulling me towards the door.God this cannot be happening. “I swear, I didn't do anything,” I choke looking at the man on the left.He barely meets my eyes as he pulls me down the stairs. I'm wearing shorts and I'm barefooted. “Please,” I cry trying to wiggle out of their hold.“Ma'am it would be better if you didn't resist,” the other says pulling me to the black Sedan parked just outside. “Then let go of me, I didn't do anything,” I repeat but they open the door shoving me inside. Two men sit next to me and the car starts moving. I look at the apartment tears rolling down my cheeks. This

Cassian's povI dialed Sevan's line a few hours ago asking him to find any information the cops might have on me or Maya and he said he found something but couldn't say over the phone. I watch from the car as he places down a brown package the hat perched on his head casual brown trousers and a red shirt making him look inconspicuous among the crowd. He nods and I walk to the bench picking it up and heading back to the car.I unseal it my fingers twitching with anticipation. Pictures fill it and I look at the pictures and they are all about Maya. As she goes to work, inside her apartment, bank statements and worse of all, her kissing Holden.The fuck!She kissed Holden and the feds, they are onto her. My heart races as I dial his burner phone.“How long have they been watching her?” I ask my heart pounding. “Almost four months,” he answers nonchalantly and my fist clenches.“Aren't you supposed to tell me when something like this is going on?” I ask my hands trembling from anger.He

Maya's pov“What do you mean someone is following you?” Jenny asks, unable to contain the shock on her face.I huff. “I'm telling you, I saw a car parked outside my house twice and one time I threw a rock at it and it drove off.”She touches my arm. “Have you reported it to the police?”“I did but all they said is we will get back to you.”“That is so scary,” she says as we take the food from the cafeteria. If she only knew I've been through worse.“I know but what can I do about it?” I ask sliding on the plastic chair while Jenny sits beside me.“Hmm, if you see that car again call me I will show them who I am.”I chuckle. “Okay, Wonder Woman.”I bite my sandwich Benta and Lisa come and join us bringing their bubbly energy with them. Jenny makes a funny face and I know she is not a fan of large crowds but she will have to deal. Or it's the fact that there has been this huge rift between surgeons and nurses that I've never come to understand.“Oh I didn't tell you something,” I mumble

Cassian's pov“I found out where she lives,” Leo says, his voice sounding a bit off.“Then why do you sound like that?” I ask. This should be good news.He lets out a sound. “They're are two police officers coming out of her house.”I stiffen. “Police officers!” I repeat just to be sure I heard correctly.“Yes.”The conversation with Don Hurio and Adelaide comes back. She will betray you. Feds.“Should I continue keeping watch?” He asks. I clear my throat.“No, come back we have more important issues to deal with.”The call disconnects. I look at the plate of food before and my appetite disappears.Can Maya betray me?Leo arrives shortly and I welcome him into my study. “Do you think it was a good idea to let Maya go?” I ask, cause everything right now is pointing to I shouldn't have.He purses his lips. “Like let her leave the mafia or let her live?”I pull at my hair. “Both.”He lowers his eyes. “I don't know sir.”I grit my teeth. “Do you think it was a good judgment call?”He shak
