Julian’s pov

“Look; I’m sorry for how that came out,” he apologized. “I just meant you’re new to all this. The rules are stupid, I know.”

“I get it,” I said. ”I’m rough around the edges. It’s true.”

“That’s enough,” he said and stopped to look at me. The busy city street flowed around us. “That’s not what I meant. Those people in there… they’re snobs. They judge everyone. I just… I should have stepped in sooner. I’m sorry.”

“Whatever. It’s your world. I’m just visiting for a year.”

He sighed, a frustrated sound. “Come on. I know a place. Let’s go there instead of the fancy place we were to go.”

I shrugged as he took me to a quiet Italian restaurant.

The owner greeted Silas by name, clapping him on the shoulder, and didn’t even blink at my t-shirt.

We sat in a corner booth. Silas ordered for us in fluid Italian. When the waiter left, he leaned forward.

“Look,” he said, his stormy gray eyes serious. “This is going to be hard. There’s a lot of… performance. But you don’t have to become

    Carlos’s povI went to the park to meet up with Nathan as I saw that I was a bit early.I found an empty bench and plopped into it, folding my arms across my chest. While waiting, I noticed children running about and screaming at the top of their voices. My head felt like it would explode, but luckily for me, Nathan showed up with a woman by his side.She introduced herself as Amara, Nathan’s girlfriend, as I nodded. Then Nathan led us to a hidden part of the park.I sat down on one bench, as they sat down across me, with a stone table before us. “Here are the files I said I would give you,” he tossed a file across the table as I opened them to see pictures of Julian and silas with three children on a picnic.“Creepy,” I sighed. “What do I do with this?”“I already did a little surveillance to find them out, and here they are. More recon will be done later so that we’ll figure out what to do next.”“And how long will this recon take? Because I refuse to believe this is the main plan

    Carlos’s povI watched him come into my apartment as he looked around, then grinned.“Yeah, it’s not as exquisite as it used to be ever since Julian and I broke up, so yeah. Why don’t you make yourself at home?”He sat down on the couch and laid back as I sat across him, then folded my arms.“What do you want?” I asked.“I can get you back to your life.”He said that in a very confident way.I scoffed. “My life wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t this shitty. Are you sure I can get back to my modeling life?”“Oh,” he raised a brow. “You were a model?”“Yes, I was. Of course you can’t tell now because while in prison, I’ve been eating a lot of starch and my stomach is bloated, so… No one is going to want to work with me. But yeah.”He shook his head. “I can’t get you your old life, but you could get something better.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “How?”“I want us to work together to get back at Silas and Julian for what they did to us.”I scoffed, then got to my feet. “I think I need a drink

    Nathan’s pov“I said I want you…” “Yeah, I heard you the first time. Bloody hell. What the fuck do you mean that I should kidnap children?”“Yeah… that’s what…”“Have you lost it? I think you have man. All of them?”I nodded.“Dude, you’re sick. Did you hit your head in prison or something?”“I actually had a lot of time to think since our last call this afternoon so yeah… I think I’m all set for what I need.”“You can’t. It’s wrong.”“Was it wrong to have me in prison for that long?”“You did the crime and got caught. Then you had to do the time. I don’t see how that’s too much. But kidnapping kids? Come on. They could die in captivity.”“Even better.”“No,” he said, getting to his feet. “Look, I came out here due to our past relationship, right? I’ve been the one getting you information on things you wanted. I’ve been spying for you, kidnapping for you, if possible causing damages for you, but this is through the roof. You know my rules.”I nodded.“Good. Then why would you know my

    Nathan’s povI got to the location that he had given and looked around. It was fancy. Before, I could afford it on the retainer Silas and a few politicians were putting me on. Right now, I felt estranged to the wealth that exuded this place.Without thinking twice, I walked to the door as the guards there put out their hand to stop me. One of them looked at me from head to toe as I followed him to look at myself to see that my dressing wasn’t fit for this place. I looked like a hobo.I took in deep breaths and then smiled at him.“I’m here to meet someone,” I said, as the guard looked at his fellow friend and then looked at me.“I’m sorry, sir, but you can’t go in looking like that.”I scoffed. “What do you mean I can’t go in looking like that? I look like a human being.”“Sir, there’s a dress code,” the second one said, as I faced him.“So the dress code means that someone who can afford a meal here can’t get in because of how the person is dressed? What if I’m just coming back from

    Tina’s pov“And every time I tell him how I feel, he starts telling me that I’m thinking negatively. All I’m trying to do is help him you know. He’s my only child. I don’t have another. So when something this dangerous appears before us, I try to tell him my fears and see if he will listen and maybe try to help me with my fears. I don’t think I’m wrong for that.”Lewis was seated at the edge of the bed, his hands folded before him as he stared at me with raised brows.Ever since I appeared before him, I had been ranting nonstop, giving him no chance to get a word in.I panted like an enraged woman before noticing he wasn’t saying anything which angered me even more.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” I flailed my arms angrily.“That’s because you didn’t let me get a word in.”“Well now you can.”He sighed. “You’re still mad at him because of the Carlos incident.”“Were you even listening to me?” I sighed. “We’re about to be imprisoned in that house, all because Silas couldn’t keep Nath

    Julian’s povI got back into the kitchen to see my mom staring at me. She had a look of concern on her face.“What seems to be the problem, Jules?” she asked as I shook my head and gave a bittersweet smile.“Nothing, mom. Let’s not talk about this.”But she wasn’t having it. The moment I got to her, she grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the side, away from the maids. Then she turned to the maids.“All of you out. I want to talk to my son alone.”They looked at us for a while before walking out.I turned back to my mom, “What is it?”“You clearly went out with your husband and both of you talked. Now I want to know what you guys talked about.”“Mom, no.” I shook her head. “I am not talking about this.”“If you have nothing to hide then what’s the big deal? Just tell me all I need to know.”“Don’t… mom. Please.”“ I want to be involved in your life, in your relationship, in the children’s life. If there’s something happening, I want to know about it.”I took in a deep breath. She wasn’t
