Michael's car pulled away from the Retroferd estate and Michael sat back in his seat and just stared through the window and said nothing for the first two minutes.

His driver knew better than to speak when he was in such a terrible mood.

The city was waking up slowly around them. Early morning traffic wasn't bad but Michael's hand was trembling with the thoughts that were running through his head or the particular cold sweat that had been sitting at the back of his neck since last night.

He had

    “Evan, you are still just a little boy that hasn't matured” Michael said with a calm voice.Evan remained quiet and his expression showed that he was definitely caught off guard but he was also unusually calm.“It seems like you really outsmarted me…or die you, Don Valente?” Evan asked with a slow smile.Then suddenly a low click was heard and Michael felt the cold metal of a gun against the side of his head. He looked up and saw a blonde man with a scar on his face."Did you really think it would be that easy, Don Valente?" Evan whispered, his voice dripping with arrogance. "You've always underestimated me. You still see me as that little boy you used to push around whenever you came to the Retroferd estate, don't you?"Michael's expression remained calm as he felt the barrel of the gun press harder against his head. In one swift motion, Evan stepped around him and Gerald couldn't do anything but lower his gun. Michael looked up to see Evan smiling down at him and his smug look on

    The hospital hallway was deathly quiet. The only sound was the steady, rhythmic beep-beep coming from inside the Intensive Care Unit. Lorenzo was alive, but he was deep in a coma. The doctors said they had done everything they could, but now it was up to his own body to decide if he would ever wake up.Michael Valente sat in his wheelchair just a few feet from the glass door. His face was like a block of ice. He didn’t blink. He just stared at his son through the window, watching the machines breathe for him. Gerald stood behind him, his head bowed, his hands folded neatly in front of him. Gerald felt sick. He had been the one on guard, and he had failed.Michael finally turned his chair, his eyes dark and empty. "Gerald," he said, his voice quiet but sharp. "How did Evan know we were watching him? How did he know we were close enough to be a threat?"Gerald stepped forward, his shoulders slumped. "I’ve thought about it all night, sir. I’m almost certain that I was the real target. E

    Raina waited for an answer, her breath caught in her throat. But instead of an explanation, the phone just gave a sharp, dead tone. Xander had hung up on her."Coward," Raina hissed, dropping the phone onto the console. She looked at Maxton. His jaw was clenched so hard she thought it might break. She felt like she was trapped in a room with a bomb, waiting for it to go off. "Why did he hang up? Is it true, Maxton? Is Evan the one who did this?"Maxton didn’t try to lie or push her away. He looked straight ahead, his eyes hard and cold. "Yes, Raina. It’s true. Evan is back in the country. He has been moving in the shadows, buying off smaller gangs and building his own army."Raina felt like someone had just poured ice water over her. "Evan? The playboy? The guy who spent all his time at parties and clubs? You’re telling me that man, who couldn't even manage his own bank account, is running a war against us?"Maxton turned to look at her. "That’s exactly what he wanted you to think. He

    They walked out of the hospital in total silence. The night air felt freezing against Raina’s skin, but she didn’t even shiver, because she felt numb. All she could think about was the sight of the blood on the floor and the look on the doctors’ faces. Lorenzo had always been her protector, the one person who kept her grounded, and the thought of him lying on that table was tearing her apart.Maxton led her to the SUV. He drove for a few minutes, his hands gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were white. Suddenly, he pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned off the engine.Raina frowned, her brow furrowing in confusion. She looked at him, her eyes tired and slightly red. "Why are we stopping, Maxton? We need to keep moving….We need to find out who did this."Maxton didn't say a word. He just turned in his seat and reached for her. Before she could push him away or ask another question, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly against his chest.Raina

    Raina grabbed her bag, her mind already moving at a hundred miles an hour. She didn't know who had done this, but she was going to find out. She checked her reflection one last time and pulled her hair into a tight, sharp ponytail.She ran out of the room, her footsteps echoing in the massive hallway. She needed to find Maxton immediately. She needed to get to that hospital and god help whoever had touched Lorenzo, because if it was the last thing she did, she was going to make them pay for every drop of blood he had shed.She reached the main staircase, her heart thumping in time with the speed of her descent. The mansion felt massive and empty and it seemed to make her panic even more. She sprinted toward the garage after not seeing anyone around.She was going to grab a car and speed to the hospital instantly.She burst through the heavy doors of the garage just as Maxton was sliding into the driver’s seat of his armored SUV. His face was already set in a cold expression and it was

    The kiss was everything she hadn’t realized she was starving for. It wasn't just a touch, it was a reclamation. Maxton moved with a desperate, frantic intensity, his hands mapping the curve of her waist, then her back, pulling her flush against him until she could feel the hard, solid lines of his body. Raina’s mind went blank. Her hands, which had been fisted in his shirt, relaxed and wandered upward, her fingers tangling in the thick hair at the nape of his neck.He didn’t pull away until her lungs were literally burning for air. When he finally broke the kiss, they both stood there, chests heaving, eyes locked in a shared, frantic haze. The room felt smaller, the air thick with the scent of their shared adrenaline.Maxton didn't wait for even a minute. He quickly shifted, his arms sliding under her knees and back, and he lifted her as if she weighed nothing at all. Raina let out a sharp, surprised gasp, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck to anchor herself. He carried

    Those five words that Selene said at the end, hit the whole funeral ground like a physical blow to the chest.“I am pregnant with your child.”The entire world seemed to tilt on its axis. For a few heart-stopping seconds, everything just… stopped. Nobody moved or made a sound. The wind continued to

    Maxton felt her hand tighten in his, the second Selene's heels started clicking across the ground toward them and he squeezed back before she could do anything with the anger he could already feel building in her body beside him."I didn't know she was coming," he said quietly, low enough that only

    Raina woke up before her alarm even had the chance to go off.The room was still dark and she lay there for a moment just staring at the ceiling, not really thinking about anything specific, just existing in the quiet before the day had a chance to become what it was going to become. Her eyes felt

    When they came downstairs, Michael didn't try to stop them.He simply watched Raina walk down the stairs with Maxton trailing closely behind her. His eyes moved over her face with the quiet emotions of a father who had been given a second chance at a life he thought he’d lost. It was like he was m
