Lucy POVEverything inside me was on fire. I grabbed at my hair, kicked the bed and wanted to scream on the top of my lungs. I couldn't be here. I couldn't look at him and not want his death. I sat on the bed, steadying my breaths. I needed to go home. I went to the bathroom and turned on the shower, then slipped out the window. It was probably a stupid plan, but I didn't care. I have my Id and credit cards, plus Niko was probably going to take me home anyway. I didn't need to wait any longer. I couldn't. I walked right past some guards, waving to them like nothing was suspicious. I wasn't an enemy, or even a threat. And that is exactly how I got in a car and just drove off without anyone even trying to stop me.After ten minutes on the road I just broke down, crying the whole way to the airport. I was a mess, ready to break at any moment. It felt like I couldn't breathe any air other than that in New York."One way ticket to JFK." I asked at the counter, handing the lady my license

Michael POV"Niko will be here any minute. You ready?" I nodded to Sio."Locked and loaded." She nodded back."Paul said 7:30, it's not even six." Vinnie shot me a look."Niko will be early. He already surveyed our perimeter." I added a grenade to my belt. I was taking as much fire power as possible. Amy was coming home tonight, and Killian, I was going to tear him limb from limb for both my sister and Lucy."Dylan called earlier. He said Amy is fine and being held in a room on the third floor. Other than no food all day she hasn't received any punishment she wasn't willing to take." Sio added."What the fuck does that mean?" I scrunched my face at her. I probably shouldn't had told them about my contact, but I needed today for Lucy. Not that it did us any good. "I don't know. It's what he said." Sio shook off my bad mood. "Where's Ariel?" I snapped at her."It wasn't a good idea to bring her to this fight. You know of her ties to Killian and I don't want her around him ever again.

Amy POV"What did you bring me, my pet?" Killian's voice dripped with honeyed malice, the kind that made your skin crawl before you even understood why. He lounged behind his desk like a king waiting for a show."A peace offering, Master," the redhead before him purred, voice soaked in twisted obedience.My fingers drifted toward my gun as I listened to whatever fucked up meeting was going on.Killian tilted his head, smirking. "You have served me well. That data you sent caused quite a stir with my enemies, but why would I need some frail child now?"From just outside his office, I peeked through a narrow crack in the door. My eyes locked, wide and unmoving, like my brain was still trying to catch up to the danger already waiting inside.I knew I recognized that scream. Lucy knelt in the center of the room, bound and crying. My blood turned to ice, but I didn't move. One wrong step, and we were both dead.Killian stood, slowly pacing around Lucy, a predator circling a wounded doe. Hi

Amy POVLucy ripped the tape from her mouth, her eyes wide. "Amy! What the hell?"I shrugged, cool and unapologetic. "He deserved to die." And I meant it. I felt no remorse. No guilt or shame. I mean, come on, would you? It's not like it was the first time I pulled the trigger anyway. "That's not what I'm talking about," Lucy glared at me, shaking her head in disbelief. The redhead was still wailing beside us, hysterical, useless. I eyed her, briefly tempted to shut her up permanently."Don't," Lucy warned, seeing the thought pass through my expression."Friend of yours?" I asked, my voice flat."No, but she has a sister." Her voice was clipped, guarded.Right on cue, another redhead crept into view, her hands raised in shaky surrender."I'm Sio," her voice was soft, terrified. "Please don't kill my sister."Then came the voice that always signaled a storm."I'm going to do much worse..." his words exploded in my ear, and I flinched. Where the fuck did he come from?"Jesus, Michael!

Michael POVI heard everything my sister said to that monster. Every reckless, unhinged, defiant word. But it wasn't until she blurted out confirmation that she had slept with him, like it meant nothing, like her body was something worthless, that it really hit inside me.That's when the blood drained from my head and something ugly settled in my chest. She let him touch her. Maybe wanted him to. That sadistic bastard touched my little sister. And I did nothing to shield her from it. "You!" I roared, stepping toward the man I'd trusted to protect her."Michael, I swear, she went after him." Dylan slowly backed up towards the door, hands half-raised like that would stop me."Enough," Niko warned, nudging my side. "We haven't cleared the property."I turned to him instead, seething. "How the hell are you not furious?" My voice came out rough, nearly shaking. Not from fear but from the realization that maybe I'd failed her a long time ago. "That man violated my sister."Niko exhaled thr

Amy POVIt was a quiet ride back to whatever safe house Niko had set up. Lucy held one of my hands and Zander the other, squishing me between them in the back seat. I didn't want it any other way. I needed them more than I realized."We missed prom," Lucy said as we pulled through the large iron gate."Yeah, and two finals," Zander added.I laughed out loud. "We still have graduation. But seriously, how the hell are we just walking back into school on Monday like nothing happened?""Together," Zander said, giving my hand a squeeze.School felt like the least of our worries, but maybe it should be our only one. Maybe we were still just kids."Yeah, together," I echoed, watching him for a moment. He was really here."Are you a made man now, Zander?" Lucy teased."Well, I'm pretty good with a gun," he said proudly, until our driver chuckled."Shut up, Jimmy," Zander muttered, kicking the back of the seat."I'm sure you're a natural," I said, kissing his cheek and leaning my head on his s

Lucy POVI didn't want to lie to my friends but I wasn't sure if it was safe. It should be though, right? The Irish were probably all dead, or at least dismantled. Michael was working with Niko so they probably worked out their issues. I didn't need to pretend to the pregnant anymore. I just really wanted to check with Michael first. I didn't want to put him in a bad position. I shouldn't care, but I did. I wanted to hate him, but I couldn't.At the airport, I completely lost my mind. I was spiraling, caught between panic and grief, and all I wanted was to escape. Until I couldn't. Ariel found me, knocked me out, and dragged me into a hell even worse than I imagined. Men leered and jeered, making promises of what they'd do to my body. Ariel didn't let them touch me, though. She said she wouldn't let them torture me the way they tortured her. Then she added how I would be a perfect pet for Killian. I decided to stay quiet around her, just observed my surroundings and waited. I wasn'

Michael POVMy head throbbed relentlessly, light seeping through my eyelids as a dull ache spread through every inch of me. I didn't know where I was... didn't even know if I was still alive."Michael, are you awake?" A soft voice floated to me, warm and familiar. I felt a smile tug at my lips, but I couldn't muster the strength to move them. Pain burned through every nerve, deeper than anything I'd ever felt."Michael!" I heard her voice again and moaned quietly. I wanted to her voice again. My head moved slowly side to side, my brain trying to force my eyes open to see her."Michael, please, open your eyes." Lucy pleaded and I had to do it for her, for me. My eye lids fluttered, vision blurry but I could make out her face a little better. She was angelic, a light around her that was so bright I knew it would burn me. "You better stay awake. Amy needs you." She said, her eyes tearing as her face came into view. God, she was beautiful. Her soft skin to mine, her fingers tracing up a

Lucy POVWatching Michael at dinner was both terrifying and exhilarating. He held so much sway over hundreds of people. And now he held all their money too. I don't think I would have the balls to do what he did, and I definitely wouldn't have helped hack so many accounts if I knew this was the end game. I had to trust him though. We were in this now, and there was no turning back."You should get dressed." Michael appeared behind me, his hand smoothing over my dress. "I don't think I should leave. It feels wrong." My body trembled slightly. I was afraid to leave his side. I was afraid of what waited for me beyond his protection. He declared war, and I was an easy target."Paul will be with you every second. My men are already positioned at the school and have eyes on every inch of the stadium. Go, graduate, and enjoy this moment. I'll make sure you are safe." He promised and I did truly feel safe knowing he was watching out for me."Are you coming?" I looked back to him over my sho

Michael POVI pulled out the chair positioned to the right of mine. "Lucy," I nodded for her to come. Not only was it polite and damn swoon-worthy to hold out her chair, but putting her on my right gave her a higher position than some damn mistress I knocked up. Plus, that move should remove any chance of Jared so much as trying to speak to her again. She was mine and no one touched her.Vinnie moved to my left and I gave him a cross look. He can't take the position of my Second, not yet at least. Vinnie cracked a smile and pulled the chair out for Paul. I turned to my seat, half rolling my eyes that Vinnie was still being a wise ass. The games needed to end.I stood behind my chair, waiting for everyone to settle. Only those officially in the family were in this room. All the others had a more party-like setting outside. Amy stood at the door, arms and ankles crossed, daring me to kick her out. I didn't miss the glances at Lucy from her either. "Thank you everyone for joining us to

Michael POVThe tension from everyone around me was thick, and suffocating, but I had to ignore it. We all had our positions and if we didn't make every move exactly right we could all end up dead. Paul spent the next hour spreading whispers of betrayal, he conveyed his absolute disgust of my decisions to any that would hear. It would grab the attention of Niko's men and start a small riot within their ranks. Vinnie was the smart-ass jokester both unwaveringly loyal to me, and crazy enough to start a blood bath in my honor. Niko's men would never align with him, or trust him with a plan. But that would open the door for those disloyal within the Grasso's to take him under their wing. Amy played both sides by acting as the scared lost girl, someone tough who wanted revenge even at the cost of her life, but also someone who loved her brother dearly. She should be removed from all sides and none will be able to fully trust her. Last was Lucy, the one person in all this mess who was i

Michael POVI don't know what this woman was doing to me, but I didn't want it to stop. I needed her in a way I never needed anyone. She was always in the back of my mind, for months I found ways to single her out in my torment, but then it turned into something more, a touch, a kiss, a need. Now, since I woke from that night my whole world flipped upside down, I wanted her in a whole new way. "Help me get dressed?" I said casually as I grabbed my suit from the chair. Her dress was under mine and I couldn't wait to see her in it."Of course." Lucy jumped right up and followed me to the bathroom. I definitely didn't need help getting dressed, but I definitely needed to see her naked again."You like?" I watched her unzip the bag, revealing a sophisticated but sexy white dress. The neckline was to her collarbone, concealing those beautiful babies in her chest. I knew she didn't like revealing too much skin, and I preferred it that way too. I had enough jealousy swarming inside me with

Lucy POVThe moment I walked inside there was chaos everywhere. It seemed like hundreds of workers were renovating the house and I really just wanted some quiet. "I'll head upstairs. Maybe he won't wake until 3." I looked to Vinnie and Paul."I already sent him a text you were on your way because the dinosaur failed," Vinnie said and I closed my eyes. "Are you that afraid of him or just want us to get our asses handed to us?" I shot back at him. He was annoyingly loyal to Michael."Hey, I'm just doing my job. I don't need to get shot over this crap." Vinnie put his hands up in defense."No one is getting shot!" I yelled back, frustrated and so damn tired of this life. I half ran up the stairs, preparing my body for a fight that I didn't want to have. If I wanted to come home, I should be able to come home, and no one gets shot because of it.But the second I opened the door I froze. Michael was sound asleep in my bed, with no shirt or bandage over his long scar down his chest. I do

Lucy POV"Michael ordered you to stay in school. I can't bring you home until 3:00." Paul quickly followed behind me to the car."I don't care what Michael ordered. I'm not part of your world and he isn't my boss." I yelled back at him."Lucy!" He reprimanded me, grabbing my arm and guiding me into the car."I'm sorry." I took a deep breath. I knew of the dangers of defying Michael. Not that he would hurt me, but if others overhead. He can't look weak."Just take a moment then head back in." He tried to de-escalate my boiling tantrum. "I can't, Paul. I want to go home." A few tears slipped and the car got quiet."I know this is hard and not what you want," Paul said carefully, probably hoping not to make me cry more. "Once we weed out who is behind the attacks we can all go back to the life we want." I looked him over for a minute, sadness taking over that he too was sacrificing for Michael. "Do you miss Gio?" I asked softly."We've been by each other's side since we were kids." He

Lucy POVIt was strange being here, like it was a place I knew but didn't really remember. It wasn't too long ago that this was my norm. Monday through Friday I came to this building, gossiped, and joked with my friends. I went from class to class, worrying about nothing more than the next test or quiz.Now, it felt foreign. I didn't even remember what class I had during the fifth period. I was about to leave until I saw Zander in the hall. The second our eyes caught I felt a wave of relief. It was like my old life suddenly came rushing back to me."Hey, you came." He walked right up to me and hugged me tight in his arms. "It's been hell here without you." He admitted, squeezing me in his arms then let go. "High school was never all that much fun. I appreciate it though." I tuck my hair behind my ears, feeling a little out of place but comfortable now I found a friend."It was always better with you and..." he shrugged before finishing. "Is she here?" I looked around the halls. Ever

Amy POVAll morning my house was in an uproar. Paul fighting with Lucy to stay home, and Lucy fighting with me to go to school. I had really thought once Michael was awake we could ignore all the stupid rules and do what was needed. I knew he would need time to recover, but I didn't fully register how weak he would be. I wanted to ignore that too, but I didn't want to get my brother killed.I needed a new plan, a way to find Declan and give him the death he deserved. He killed my family, the only man I ever looked at as a father. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I can't just wait for Michael to heal and finish the job for me. I needed to act!"Why are you down here?" Dylan walked into the basement, holding a box of donuts and two coffees. "I can't just walk around school and pretend to be fine. There are threats everywhere, even here. Why do you think Paul refuses to let Lucy out of his sight?" I was pacing the floor like a caged animal. My nerves were fried and I was about to

Michael POV"Come in," I ordered."You needed me?" Paul walked in, looking unamused to be summoned."Take Lucy to school, and from now on, don't make a single order unless I approve it," I said, lying back down. A wave of exhaustion suddenly hit me."If that is what you think is best, boss." Paul had all attitude laced in his words. He was punk for a dinosaur."Do you have a problem with me becoming Capo, Paul? We can easily resolve it." I nodded to Vinnie who walked in behind him. He looked terrified and tried stepping back out the door. "Get in here!" I yelled at him.Lucy rushed out in an oversized shirt and baggy jeans. "What is happening?" She asked, looking at Paul and then Vinnie."Paul is going to take you to school and make sure you're safe. Right, Paul? You seem to like being attached to her side.""We have a meeting you called at 3:30." Paul clenched his jaw. "Unless you don't want your Second to attend. It would be a good way to make us look weak again.""Listen, Paul," V
