Delia’s POV

Happiness! Joy! Ecstasy!

Those are the only words that come close to describing what’s rushing through my veins right now. A cocktail of triumph and adrenaline. I never thought a day like this would come—when opportunity would walk straight into my hands.

God, I was scared. Scared out of my mind when I found out that this bitch—yes, this trembling, big-eyed snake in front of me—had taken a bullet for my Cassius.

My. Cassius.

It wasn’t just the bullet. It was the way he loo

    Cassius's POV I was driving. That was the only thing I knew for certain right now. That my hands were on the wheel and the road was moving under me and I was going somewhere — except I had no idea where that somewhere was, and I hadn't known for the past however many minutes I had been in this car. I just drove. Away. That was the only direction I had. Away from that house, away from that hallway, away from the voices I had heard through that door that were still playing on a loop inside my head whether I wanted them to or not. "I've been killing people and making it seem like it's Cassius." I pressed my foot harder on the accelerator. The city blurred past the windows — streetlights, storefronts, other cars, the ordinary world going about its ordinary business completely unaware that mine had just collapsed in a hallway on the second floor of my brother's house. I wanted to go somewhere far. Not just across town far. Far far. The kind of far where no one knew my name or my face

    Nadia's POV FLASHBACK CONTINUES "I'm sorry, Nadia." I stepped back. Just one step, but it felt like the floor had moved under me. Like the whole room had shifted slightly to the left and nothing was where it was supposed to be anymore. Pregnant. She was pregnant. I stood there trying to make the word make sense in my head and it wouldn't. It just kept bouncing around, hollow and sharp at the same time, not landing anywhere. This can't be true. This cannot be true. "Nad—" "Don't." I held up a hand. "Don't Nadia me right now." He closed his mouth. I pressed my fingers to my forehead, trying to think, trying to line everything up in a way that made sense. How? How had this even happened? Giovanni had made me promises... "You...you told me you were not even going to touch her." My voice came out strange. Flat and trembling at the same time. "You told me you were sleeping in separate rooms. You told me you had never even kissed her before." I looked at him. "You told me..

    Nadia's POV FLASHBACK BEGINS "What do you mean you can't marry me?" My voice came out sharp and high, sharper than I intended, but I didn't care. I was shaking. My whole body was shaking and I needed him to see that. "What do you mean you have to marry someone you barely know because of strengthening some stupid Mafia thingy?" I demanded, and before I could stop myself, I grabbed the spoon off the table and threw it at him. It wasn't meant to cut him. Or maybe it was. I don't even know anymore. The spoon caught Giovann (Cassius and Tyler's father) on his left cheek, a small nick, before it clattered to the ground between us. He flinched, touched his face, looked at the tiny smear of blood on his fingers. I didn't apologize. "Nadia, you have to understand me." He said, stepping closer. His voice was calm, which somehow made it worse. "I'll marry you. But my dad told me to marry her first, and after a year we can file for a divorce. It's not even like I like her." "I kn

    5 DAYS LATER Cassius's POV "I think you really need to go home and freshen up, sir. You've been here for almost a week now." The nurse said, after checking Crystal who was still laying lifeless on the bed. She said it gently, like she felt sorry for me, but her eyes were also telling me I look terrible. "Please, when exactly will she wake up?" I asked. I already knew the answer. I had asked that same question every single day and every single time, the answer was the same. But I couldn't stop asking. It was the only thing keeping me from losing my mind. "As the doctor told you, her surgery was successful but it's left to her to fight for her life and you should keep praying. The doctor already tried their best." She said, didn't wait for my response and left the room. The door clicked shut and the silence swallowed me whole again. I turned back to Crystal. The machines around her beeped softly, steady, one after the other, and I had memorized that sound by now. I could

    Cassius's POV"The bullet in her forearm passed through cleanly...it entered and exited without lodging, which is the best possible outcome for that wound. It has caused muscle damage that will need to be properly cleaned and sutured, but that one is the most straightforward of the three."The doctor paused there, just briefly, the way doctors do when they're about to move from the good news to everything else.I was listening. I was hearing every word. But part of my mind kept drifting back to the last thirty minutes — to rushing through those hospital doors with Crystal in my arms, to the way the nurses had swarmed around her the second they saw the blood, to all the things they had done to her since then that I stood outside and watched through a small rectangular window in a door, understanding almost none of it but unable to make myself walk away.I had never felt this helpless in my life. Not once. Not in all the years of building what I had built, surviving what I had survived,

    Cassius's POV"Should I stop?" Raven asked, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror for a split second."No, don't." The words left my mouth before I could think about them properly, even though everything inside me was screaming the opposite.I turned slightly in the back seat, my jaw tight, and watched through the rear window as Crystal ran after the car. Her legs were moving fast, her arms pumping at her sides. My chest did something strange at the sight of her — something I didn't like, something I didn't want to name. Then, as if she finally realized it was pointless, she slowed down and stopped. She then stood there for a brief moment in the middle of the road, chest heaving, and then turned and walked away.I kept watching long after she disappeared from view.Fuck.I faced forward, settling deeper into the cool leather seat, and rubbed a hand down my face. I was supposed to be angry. That was the plan — stay angry, stay cold, keep distance. Anger was easy. Anger was somethin

    Zara's POV I really can't believe what's happening; someone is impersonating Cassius. So, it hadn't been him killing all those people. Jeez, a part of me felt relieved that he wasn't as bad as I had thought, but he still killed other people; the same way I killed some people. Maybe not out of ma

    Cassius's POV I rubbed my temples as I sat back on the bed. Delia picked up her clutch, dropped it on the table, and walked toward me. "Cassius..." she called, her voice soft. "Delia, what are you doing here?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice in control. "I came to see you, Cassius." she

    Fuck him! I sat up abruptly as i pulled up my leggings, my body still thrumming with need, my fists clenched in the sheets. Cassius just lay there, arms behind his head, looking up at me with that insufferable smirk like he hadn’t just set me on fire and then walked away. Arrogant bastard. "You

    I opened my eyes slowly to see Cassius sleeping next to me. Dammit. He looked unfairly hot and handsome with his rumpled hair. When had he come back that I hadn't noticed, and when had I fallen asleep? I looked closely at his sculptured face, my right hand under my face. My fingers twitched as I
