DAVINA

The yellowish lights illuminated the room with a welcoming warmth, but the mood between us was anything but light. Aaron leaned against the table with an unpretentious expression as he spoke.

"That's how I met KJ," he said, turning the mug of tea in his hands. His tone was casual, but charged with something deeper. "I found out that I had been adopted illegally. My parents bought me from KJ."

There was a suffocating silence. The sound of the clock hand on the wall seemed to amplify, marking every second of tension in the air.

Aaron shrugged, as if he were commenting on something trivial.

"My biological mother is probably a drug addict or someone very poor. That's how human trafficking works, isn't it?"

I leaned against the counter with a cup of tea in my hands, letting out a low sigh. I was sitting on the stool closest to the window. Gutemberg, on the other hand, was quieter than usual, his eyes fixed on the table, while Timmy crossed his arms and frowned. He had made tea for al

    DAVINAI stood still, eyes fixed on Timmy, Aaron, and Midnight, not letting a single movement go unnoticed. Each of them seemed to avoid my gaze, but I could feel the tension growing in the air. They had brought me back here, like tossing me back into a prison I had fought to escape. I couldn't buy the story they were trying to sell. Something was wrong, and I wouldn’t rest until I found out what it was.“Who were those men?” I asked, my voice colder than the surrounding night.Timmy avoided my eyes, frowning, a mixture of discomfort and guilt painted across his face. Aaron exchanged a quick look with Midnight, both of them appearing even more uneasy. The silence that followed was far too heavy, like they were hiding something.

    DAVINABoredom was a beast gnawing at my brain. It chewed away at every ounce of my patience as I twirled the ring on my finger, sitting on the sofa in Midnight's house. The dim light from the lamp flickered from time to time, as if even it was tired of this place.The city was still in turmoil since the death of KJ and the leader of the Reapers, and Midnight had been under attack from all sides. Every gang wanted a piece of the territory, which meant he was more paranoid than ever. Gutemberg was also tense, always with his cell phone in his hand, speaking softly or typing messages nonstop. But now that KJ was out of the picture, I shouldn't have to hide anymore.And so I decided: I was going to see my mother.I didn't intend to talk to her, I just wanted to look from afar, to make sure she was okay. Timmy insisted that she was, but trust wasn't my strong suit. I needed to see with my own eyes.

    DAVINAAaron’s eyes, always observant, slid from Timmy to me, that unreadable smile playing on his lips.“I hope I’m not interrupting,” he said, though his tone suggested otherwise.“What are you two scheming?” I asked, craning my neck to look at him, trying to sound like I had control of the situation.Timmy let out a low chuckle, still leaning casually against the wall. But there was something else in the way he looked at Aaron—something unspoken, full of meaning.“So… why did you call him here?” I asked Timmy, raising an eyebrow, still suspicious.Aaron just smiled. That kind of smile

    DAVINAI stood in front of the large mirror in Midnight’s room, my eyes wandering over the piles of clothes scattered across the bed. The new clothes Vincent had bought me were beautiful, way more than I ever could’ve imagined. He’d definitely overdone it. Still, my mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about Pryia, and what Lucia had said about her when I was still locked up in that place. She spoke like she knew some secret about my sister. She always hinted that I didn’t really know who Pryia was, that maybe she wasn’t the victim I believed her to be. But what did that even mean?The ache of missing them tightened in my chest. I needed to see them. I needed to talk to my mom, and to Pryia, too. Now that things with the guys were starting to settle down, the feeling that something was m

    DAVINAI walked down the stairs slowly, feeling the cold of the railing under my fingers. Each step echoed inside me like a racing drum, driven by anxiety and fear. Midnight was still in the shower, and Aaron had finally given up pounding on the door to find out what was going on. Now, all that was left was to face my men.Were they still mine? Did they wait for me? Did they miss me?Gutemberg said they did, but I didn’t fully trust him. The time I spent away felt like an eternity. And the worst part? Timmy and I had fought before I disappeared. The reason? I couldn’t even remember anymore, because it stopped mattering the moment I found myself alone without any of them. It all felt so insignificant compared to what I went through, the longing that ate me alive.

    DAVINAI woke up slowly, my eyes opening with reluctance, as if reality was something to be avoided. The warmth surrounding me made me realize where I was. My body was pressed against someone’s, thick, almost awkward heat enveloping me. I was lying on my side, and his arms were wrapped tightly around me.I lifted my head, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. It was Midnight!Holy shit.How did this happen?I went to sleep alone. And now somehow, I was in his arms? Me, Davina, spooning with one of the most dangerous men in New Jersey. Oh sweet mother of confused virgins. What had I become? First Vincent, and now Midnight?The shock hit m
