I grumbled bitterly with my hands tied behind my back, and eyes blindfolded with a piece of cloth."far far away, where nobody can find you" he pushed me into an open car seat. then he yanked out the material off my eyes. i scoffed. looking over my shoulders and then straight into his eyes."we are in new York city dumb ass. my home. —someone would find me sooner than you think I spat, —, 'ouch!" I yelped as my head banged heavily against the door opening. "Things didn't have to go this way Victoria, he went around the car saying as he hovered into the driver's seat. "we could have been a great team—but your misguided loyalty" he sneered, "it irritates me." he spat, tossing his phone over the dashboard.i lifted my chin, firm and high, "I don't know what your story is Eugene. but strongly, I believe you're the villian in it" the words fell off my mouth softly, and sour. he

LUCAS POV "That old skunk has a gun?— tch, color me impressed." Rosette said as I pulled out the gun handing it to her. her eyebrows tilted slightly with skepticism ."—and he says he knows exactly where Eugene is?" she asked again.i nodded stiff. "—and there's nothing suspicious in any of that?" i took in a deep breath, and slowly raked my hands through my hair. "he' handed you a gun Lucas Lorenzo right after we threatened his life. obviously! he's s leading us into a trap." she tore through her lungs, her eyes lifted so high it struggled to touch her brows. i reached for the metallic firearm in her hand and pulled it out. My eyes lingered briefly on hers before I tucked it underneath my shirt. "that's strange." I said simply. "what's strange?" she asked sharp tongued. "Fear. you put on a tough mask above it, but I can see it." "Fear?" she scoffed, the top right side of her lips pushed up in a sneer, like the word its

LUCAS POV "Thomas —Lucas..do something...." Mr Hosea cleared his throat, writhing as Rosette stood before him fuming. "He's not the one." She said, releasing the hems of the piece of clothing she ripped apart. dissapointment coated in her sneer."Where's the guest list?" she stepped out of his personal space, asking."W-w what guest list?" Rosette kissed her teeth angrily and fixed her eyes on me, she tilted her head,i took the hint. "we need the guest list Mr Hosea. —the one you compiled for the gala, remember?" I tucked my hands in my pockets, trying my best to keep him from totally freaking out, but sweat beads continually formed at the corners of his face as he crippled back in his chair horrifically. "I —i don't have it." he stuttered saying,"well who does!" Rosette screeched. "it's been disposed—" he answered, nearly jolting from his seats, "Damn it!" Rosette cursed. "that can't be, it has to be in the records , he

LUCAS POV "You're putting Victoria's life at risk, Lucas Lorenzo. I should have gone with him," Rosette said, pulling her jacket tightly over her shoulders.I raked my hands through my hair, leaning my weight against the wall."Don't you think I know that?" I paused, the words heavy in my chest. "that it burns me?"— Rosette, I would walk through melted hot coals barefoot—, I would burn the edges of the earth if that’s what it takes to get Victoria back." But we gotta be steps ahead. Eugene is not going to hurt her—not because he won't, but because he can't."Rosette chuckled dryly. "And why would you say that? You don't even know him."she said."Trust me."I answered,"But you, he could kill," .I added."Leaving that aside, the real question is: what does he need you for?"I asked.The AC from the hotel room blasted cold against my face as I picked up my watch and strapped it on securely. Rosette buckled the front of her ja

I asked steading my breath as we came to a halt.—"Where's Lucas?"i looked over my shoulders scanning the area. it was the exterior part of the building leading to the outside through the back."oh, he'll be here in any minute." Viola clasped her hand together. smiling tightly."Why are we outside Viola?, you said Lucas was hurt—what's going on?" I demanded. she spun her head around, twisting her fingers in anticipation as she looked at her watch at every split second. just then the sound of an approaching footstep echoed down from the stairs."god, finally." viola rolled her eyes, leaning her weight on the arm that rested on her waist as Eugene approached. "oh Thank God Eugene, what's going on?" I asked, my eyes welcoming him in with a sigh of relief warming my shoulders."I needed her to steal you for a bit.—" he said, exchanging a knowing look with viola as she clinked her hee

"Hey, uh— we should get going." I said to her as we approached. They both rose up. and he, extended his hand for a handshake. "I'm Eugene." he said primly. My eyes darted to Rosette, her lips were pursed, and her eyes narrowed.Is he her missing brother? something awfully grey seemed to be hovering around at her edges, i took his hand and shook firmly. "Lucas Lorenzo." his eyes widened subtly, then he tilted his head. "Victoria mentioned Lucas, but not the Lorenzo part. you are Alexanders son?" he asked.My chest tightened.
