SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW

THREE WEEKS LATER

I sat on the small hedge while making sure the rifle in my hand was balanced. The cold weapon in my hand as I aimed for the targets a few feet from me. We were to practice my shooting skills since, according to Dominic, I was better at guns than I was with knives.

I fired a shot which hit the target in the head, making it have a huge hole between the eyes. My mind went back to the conversation Dominic and I had three weeks ago, the idea or thought that the very people I knew my entire life might not be who they said they were kept me up at night. I didn't want to consider the possibility, so I focused instead on shooting.

With three more targets down, I changed the bullets and loved further away to test my skill at a farther distance, but was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in," I said, and in came one of the workers with a tray of juice and a towel to wipe my face. It was a hot day.

"Thank you," I said to her before taking a

    EPILOGUE.A FEW MONTHS LATER.SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW.It all still feels like yesterday, that we were fighting that monster, racing against the clock, the universe, everything, just so we would not crumble under the weight of the war. Dominic had made a live video call to Raphael, as I heard, while I was on the plane, out of it. The anesthesia administered to me had me asleep for long hours as the doctors on the plane worked on getting the bullet out of my thigh.Now, just eight months later, I am here, heavily pregnant, and attending my mother's wedding to the true love of her life, Daniel."Mom, are you ready?" I ask, walking into the room where she is getting her final touches done by the makeup artists."Only a few seconds, baby, I just need to add a few more touches," She says. The way she looks so shy, so young, so...free, amuses me and at the same time, makes me so happy for her. She has been through so much, and now, she is getting her happy ending."Wait, what about Maria?" S

    DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW."I am heading over to Alvarez now," I inform through the pod, walking as stealthily as possible towards the only room that has not been looked at, the one the cameras pick up the vermin's presence in. "Be careful. My daughter cannot mourn her husband while pregnant," Daniel says into the pod, and next thing I hear is a gunshot. I imagine he shot another person."No problem, father in law" My response must show my lack of suprise. I had a feeling his feelings towards my wife were far from the way an uncle would love. He looks like someone ready to lay down his life for my wife if necessary, and for that, he has my respect."We are headed your way now, Dominic." Aurora says, "Do not move in on him until we show up. You need all hands on deck so he does not slither away like the snake he is."So I pause, still at alert, ignoring the bodies strewn all around me, every single one of them dead, either by a bullet or by a gun.It does not take long for them to meet

    ALVAREZ'S POINT OF VIEW.It happened so quickly. I was looking at the document she had signed, pure joy and elation coursing through me at my newfound victory, every single thing I have done is so I could live to this moment, this time when I finally have everything that bastard had. Next thing I know, my men were telling me, "Sir, she has escaped."Escaped. Like she is not just a woman, a woman that can easily be subdued and made to do whatever the fuck a man wants, a man who is stronger than her. My men are some of the most trained soldiers in this world, but a mere woman outsmarted and overpowered them?"We can still find her, sir," Lorenzo says, walking in. "Give me an order, and I will have a few of your men, and in a few hours, she will be back here, ready to do your bidding again. She was shot by Siroc, she ane asily be easily found since she is injured." Lorenzo has always been a fucking dog, someone to serve a master, and never becoming a master himself. He moved from Padr

    DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWA FEW HOURS LATER.The thunder cracked through the sky, roaring as though it strikes with a rage that mirrors my own as I stand, the rest of my people behind me as we each ruminate on the information my wife gave us on the route to the house Alvarez is hiding in."Is everything ready?" Aurora asks from where she stands beside me. Sabine is safely tucked away on a plane en route to Spain as we speak. The second I got her, I knew there was no way I would have her in a place Alvarez could get to her again.I made that mistake once, I am not making it again. The doctor on board would do anything he could to save her and our baby. Sokolov has been nothing short of helpful with this war, and I will have to see to the alliance he keeps talking about.A marriage between his son and a daughter of mine.The cruel but smart fucker has had his eye on my erritory ever since I took over from Padrino, and with this, he has it."We need to wait for Sokolov's men to arrive.

    SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW.I rest my back against the rock, a shudder escaping me at the intense cold. That was all I could feel. The kind of cold that shashes through you, never like a gentle breeze, as my breathing became more laboured as each minute passed while I sat here, hoping, waiting for an absolution that I hope would come. Right now, I understand what Jack from Titanic felt as he floated in the horridly cold water, holding onto his love's hand while she kept herself on the raft. It feels like I am Jack in this moment, waiting for a boat, hoping that the cold does not get to me, or the sharks, as each second passes, while I hope for a boat that I hope would come back for me.My teeth clatter in my mouth as I try to warm myself by rubbing my hands together while trying to ignore the burning sensation in my thigh. The only things on my mind are my baby and my safety.Did anyone even know of my disappearance by now?Will I be here for the rest of my life?Will there ever be a sav

    DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWThe jet descends on the ground, like a blade slicing through the clouds, the roar of its engines announcing our presence. The voice of the pilot filters through the speakers as he says "We have just arrived in the snow-covered nation. I would advise being careful. The radar shows that you will be five feet deep once you get onto it, and touchdown is in less than five minutes. Visibility is low, twenty degrees on the ground." The tablet with the glowing S on the map is all I see as it stays still, nothing else close to it. She is alone. Daniel grabs the tablet from my hand abruptly, staring intently into it, and all I wanted to do was cut his hand off in that moment."She might be truly alone. From what I see, she is headed north, and the other heat signals from earlier when they were with her; they headed east. This is a completely different route.""She escaped" A breathy relieved whisper leaves my lips, as I sign. My chest swells with pride, joy, and at th

    DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWThe plane shook, probably from the turbulence or from the storm of rage already roaring in my mind, the weight of my fury ripping the skies apart as I tried to stay still on the jet, making sure to give orders when necessary. She is out there, pregnant, all alone, possibly hurt... or wodr, dead.The thought of my wife lying cold, pale, without any life in her lungs fills me with something raw, something unfettered.Fear.I try my best not to focus on the thought. She is alive, I can feel it. She is okay, and so is our child."Two hours uintill we land" Aurora mutters beside me, as she works on a computer, sending a few encrypted messages to someone on her side of this war, her ammo strapped to her chest, knives, guns, and a few grenades on her person as she focused on the screen, her brows furrowed, and her expression stoic as she kept it bereft of all emotion.I do not respond, my fists clenched tightly to my side as I keep my lips in a hard line as I stare

    SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWThe moment the jet lands, the guard in the place I was kept walks to me, a coat in his hand, as he cuts my restraints, his sharp, familiar eyes on mine"Lorenzo?" I call out in fear and shock. He is from Dominic's army, what the fuck is her doing here?He stares at me, his cold eyes detached as he cuts off the restraints and pulls me to my feet."It is cold out there, you will need this or else you will freeze to death, and I cannot have that. You are too valuable to us for now," He says, holding the thick, long coat to meTempted to curse him out and tell him I do not want the damn cold, I keep my mouth shut, as my subconscious reminds meThe baby, remember you are fighting for two people right nowSo I purse my lips, keeping it in a tight line, as I put on the coat."Let's go," He grunts, as he pushes me in front of him, his gun digging in my lower back, and forcing me to walk on as we move towards the exit.Alvarez waits just at the door, waiting for us, a si
