Lucien's Pov-
I rounded the house with a determination and fury. So much fury and worry gripped at me, tugging me down and drowning me. My mind was realing and seething with the flood of so many different emotions. I was not used to this, I didnt feel pain, I didnt feel fear, I never feel sorrow or greaf. never in my life...But now, now I feel it all and im feeling it all at once.
Rocco’s car was still parked in the garage meaning they had not left. They had not left as instructed, the plan prepared by myself and Rocco not in motion. The plan designed to keep maria safe with the off chance that something like this was to go wrong tonight.
I pushed the door open making my way through the garage, and just like Diego I wanted blood. I want Trevisani blood.
“I want eyes on them now” I fired an order again; Maria was in trouble I could feel it in my bones and the still parked car in the garage was only a con

āMomā Marcus yelled in panic as my head was lifted from the cold floor. āGet some ice for your mother she hit her headā I heard Lucien, he sounded so close, I could smell him, he smelt just like I remember. āThis is your fault assholeā Marcus fired āOr maybe it was your unique way of introducing yourself. SONā Lucien defended. āMaria, can you hear me?ā his voice was so close yet so soft like a whisper. I didnāt dare open my eyes, maybe it was a nightmare? If thatās the case than Iām stuck in a dream state. His touch feels so real. I was being a child, hoping that the longer I keep my eyes closed the higher chance of the possibility of it being nothing more than just a dream. āMariaā he called the touch of his fingertips to my skin as he brushed them gently across my brow and along my check. āFuck, shit! mom?ā Marcusās panic snapped me forward and I flicked my eyes o
Epilogue Eighteen years has passed since you both took your leave. Every day I miss you both. Diego too, when you guys made your leave from this world and I made mine from that hell, I had made the sacrifice to leave him behind. It was a painful sacrifice, but he had the right to choose his own path just like I did mine. I donāt know if you can hear me, maybe its wishful thinking but I pray every day that you watch over him for me. I have had no contact with him or any other from that life in eighteen years, but I did it, I finally got out. I faced those struggles with you all in my mind, through the good times and the bad. Sometimes I let my mind wonder in imagination, with the what ifs and the possibilities of what could have been if you both could spend one more day down here. I know Marcus could use an uncle or aunt to vent too. He takes after his father, so handsome with his dark hair and strong mind but sometimes I feel as though a mother just wonāt cut
Mariaās pov- Lucien circled his arms around my waste the warmth of his body against my back was calming as he placed a delicate kiss to my cheek, my eyes closing as his presence soothed me. āAre you ok?ā he asked his voice soft and low. I hummed a response, wanting nothing more than to stay in his arms. I was yet again shamelessly avoiding what I came here to do. āWe need to talkā I sighed opening my eyes, forcing myself to face reality. āDonāt give me a speech like the one you gave himā Lucien exclaimed, the cool air wrapping around me as he pulled away from me, the loss of his hold no longer keeping me composed. āIt is nothing like thatā I huffed turning to face him. It sounds crazy to say but this man, this big powerful man in front of me is so God damn emotional itās unbelievable. āTake a seat please I need to tell you something and I donāt want you to freak outā I nudged his che
Mariaās pov- I was shamelessly killing time to avoid the inevitable confrontation of telling Lucien our news. I didnāt know how he would react, how he would take the news of becoming a father let alone the news that we can leave. He was always so defensive with excuses every time I brought up us leaving the current life that we live. And as for the other thing, I believe being a parent is something he has pictured before but no matter how hard he tries to hide how much that thought scared him I could see it. I have taken a shower and a bath, with a visit to Rocco and Dr Grim in hopes to avoid the conversation I am mere seconds away from having with Lucien, according to Marcel he was in the living area of our floor five minutes ago. Iām praying he is still there because all this walking to avoid the inevitable was killing not just my leg but my whole entire body. āYou are not capable of keeping her safe, how many times must she suffer because of your blata
It hurt to think of Diego in pain, of him feeling lost or being lost in any kind of way. That was just not who Diego was, he is all humour, fiery and bright. āI shot myselfā I laughed through a sob hoping to relieve some of his pain for even just a moment. āI heardā he strained a chuckle, clearing his throat he pulled back to look at me with his red eyes. They were not as bright anymore, they seemed dull like the brightness of a bulb dying out. āOnly you could manage such a thing Angelā he smiled at me, his smile weak but I could tell it was genuine and thatās what I wanted. To see the smiling Diego not the Diego with the reckless look upon his face. āIām proud of you, your strength is powerful Maria. you took on a fight all on your own and came out still standingā he praised āwell standing on a limp legā he added with a teasing grin. āShut up, you have a limp leg tooā I laughed pus
Mariaās pov- āI am not leaving her in the hands of the likes of youā āThe likes of me?ā I shot up at the sudden loud crash, my heart racing with panic and dare I say it fear.my body was in pure agony and with my head spinning I could barely focus my eyes. āYou canāt keep her safe, none of you canā I whipped my head to the direction of the familiar voice to see Carlos and Lucien in an intense stair down, a mess of broken items at their feet the obvious sign of a tussle. āHow I protect my woman is no concern of yoursā Lucien fired āThat may be but do not make the mistake brother, she is my concern she has been since the night I found her locked in my cousinās bedroomā I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply in the attempt to calm my beating heart. The crash and the sound of fist to skin that I knew was coming after Carlosās words echoed around the room. I winced opening my e
