FLORA

Four days. That's how long I had been stuck in this hospital bed, staring at the same white ceiling tiles and listening to the machines beep every few seconds. The bullet graze on my leg was pretty much healed by now, but the doctors were still worried about the baby.

"How are we doing this morning, Flora?" Dr. Gary asked sweetly as she walked in with her clipboard.

"I'm going crazy," I said honestly. "When can I go home?"

"Let's see how today's tests look first. The baby's heart rate has been more stable, which is really encouraging."

I put my hand on my stomach. The baby had been moving more in the last day or two, which made me feel a little better. At least something was going right.

Dante was in the bathroom getting ready for the day. He had been sleeping in an uncomfortable chair beside my bed every single night throughout my stay in the hospital, and I could tell his back was already killing him. But every time I suggested he go home and get some real sleep, he just shook

    DANTE“This isn’t just one baby…”The doctor’s words filled the room instantly.I gazed at him. “What do you mean?”He turned the monitor toward us and pointed at the screen. “There are two heartbeats.”Flora gasped beside me. “Twins?”He nodded slowly. “Yes. It’s still too early to determine their genders, but they’re both alive, and their heart rates look steady for now. But the spotting means we need to monitor her closely.”I couldn’t speak for a moment. I just stared at the screen. Two little dots that had two strong heartbeats that meant two lives.Holy shit!When Flora took my hand in hers, her face looked pale but she was still glowing at the same time. “Dante…”I held her face in my hands gently and kissed her forehead. “You’re okay. They’re okay. We’ll protect them, I swear.”She nodded. “I didn’t expect this.” I could see the shock still in her eyes.“Neither did I,” I said. My voice was lower now. “But they’re ours. And nothing’s going to happen to them.”The doctor gave h

    FLORAI kept staring at the screen like the footage was going to change if I looked at it long enough.Giovanni had been at the door to my mother’s apartment.But why?“Play it again,” I said sharply.Agent Harrison did as I asked immediately. The screen moved again. Giovanni knocked on the door twice, then stepped back, and waited. He didn’t do anything else for a while until he glanced over his shoulder, looking around suspiciously like he was being followed. And that was it. The camera didn’t catch any of what happened after that.I turned to Marcus immediately. “Find out what that was. I want to know why he was there.”“I’m on it,” Marcus replied without wasting even a second. Then he grabbed his laptop and left the room.Dante’s eyes were fixed on me, but I couldn’t read the expression on his face. His lips were drawn into a thin line, and his hands were clenched into fists, but his eyes... they held too many emotions.“You think he threatened her?” I asked, barely able to get t

    FLORAI didn’t say a word on the whole flight back to Miami. Dante was quiet too, but I could feel the tension rolling off him. His jaw was clenched and his eyes hadn’t stopped burning since he found that picture. I’d never seen him somewhat like this before, but this was different. He looked cold, focused, and dangerous all at the same time.But all I could feel was fear. Not just for Dante, but for all of us.Giovanni Romano was now on the run with Elena Vasquez. That alone was enough to make me sick to my stomach. The man who had once helped raise Dante had been working with the woman who nearly destroyed our lives. And now they were out there, together, planning God knows what.I kept looking out the window like I expected their plane to fly by and crash into ours or something.“Flora,” Dante suddenly said beside me. “We’re not letting them win.”“I know,” I whispered back, squeezing his hand in comfort. “But it feels like this war has been going on forever. Will it ever end?”He

    DANTE“Giovanni,” I said again, slower this time like I was trying to believe it myself.The word tasted almost bitter on my tongue as I said it. My stomach was twisted in knots already. I couldn’t stop staring at Agent Harrison, hoping he’d say he got it all wrong, that maybe it was someone else and this was all just some mistake.But he didn’t say anything else. He just kept looking at me like he knew what this meant.Giovanni Romano. My uncle. The man who had raised me for part of my early life. The one person in this world I thought I could always trust no matter what happened.And now I knew he’d been the one feeding Elena Vasquez with info. Everything she knew about us, she got from him.My hands started to shake. I clenched them into fists, trying to calm myself down, but it didn’t seem to be working. I could feel my blood already boiling in my veins.“He raised me,” I said under my breath. “He was the one who taught me almost everything I know. He taught me how to fight, how t

    FLORAThe explosion had knocked the breath out of me. Again.My ears were ringing like someone had set off fireworks inside my skull. I blinked fast as I tried to make sense of the blurry lights and running feet around me. I could barely hear the shouting, but I knew the feeling of chaos. I’d been living in it for a while now.The next thing I knew, I was being lifted with large but careful hands as they placed me on a stretcher. The women we’d rescued were right there too, and now all of us lined up like a row of broken dolls.“Stay with me, Flora,” Dante said with his hand gripping mine.I tried to speak but I could only manage a cough instead.“She’s coughing! Get oxygen on her!” a medic shouted.I wanted to tell them I was fine, that the baby was okay, but honestly, I wasn’t sure anymore. My whole body felt numb, my heart was racing, and all I could think about was whether my baby had made it through that second blast.The ambulance ride felt like it lasted forever. Dante sat besi

    DANTEI didn’t wait for Harrison’s questions. I just turned and ran.Three minutes. That’s how long we had before everything on this floor went up in flames.I grabbed wire cutters and bolt cutters from the maintenance cart just outside Flora’s room. My hands shook as I rushed back in. She was still on the bed with her wrists strapped down. Her face was pale but she looked alert.“I’m getting you out of here,” I said, already working on the restraints.When her eyes met mine, I could see that they were filled with fear. “Dante, wait. It’s not just me. Elena’s men are holding other pregnant women in some rooms down the hallway. I heard them crying and begging.”I paused just for a second. Then I kept cutting.“How many rooms?” I asked.“I don’t know. But there must be at least two,” she replied.The strap snapped off her right wrist, and I moved to the left. My heart was pounding so loud now.“We can’t leave them, Dante,” she said. “We have to try.”“I know.”Two minutes left.I got th
