/-Gianna-/

I got dressed. Casual kind of dressed for a typical coffee date. Maxmillian left early so I didn't have to bother about angering him.

He was, after all, unavailable when I wanted to inform. I couldn't possibly be blamed for that.

I checked myself one last time in the mirror before grabbing some cash from the drawer. I was supposed to head to Maxmillian's office but I wasn't about to pretend everything was fine when he left for work without taking me like he usually did.

He was always fine without an assistant so I'm certain this will be no different.

In a few minutes, I was waiting at the coffee shop for my date to arrive. He delayed for thirty minutes, giving me time to reconsider my decision but then I finally decided to leave, I saw him walk through.

He was dressed casually. A simple t-shirt and jeans but that was all it took for him to steal the spotlight.

Eyes followed him right to my table.

A slow smirk tugged at his lips as he approached, completely aw

    /-Melody-/I couldn't believe that my own brother was trying to force me to go to a psychiatric hospital simply because he felt I was obsessed with him. So what if I was?That didn't mean I was crazy or anything. My head was working perfectly and if it wasn't, I wouldn't need anyone to tell me that.It was all because of that woman. That god-forsaken gutter bitch nobody he picked up from wherever. She was rhe one making him believe that everyone else was the problem when it was clearly her. It was more annoying that Maxmillian wouldn't want to hear me out. But it didn't matter. I was going to get out of here by all means necessary. All I had to do was pass their stupid evaluation and after that, I was very certain that he would hear me out. A soft knock on the door. Then it opened.A woman walked in. Lab coat. Clipboard. That smug, professional calm that all these therapists practiced in the mirror. Like they were doing God’s work. Her eyes scanned me like I was a case file before

    /–Eric–/The prison gates swallowed us like a steel-jawed beast.It wasn’t the first time I’d seen the inside of a place like this, but it was the first time I looked like this walking in. Blood on my collar. One eye nearly swollen shut. Lip split wide open. Ribs cracked like dried twigs.The guards noticed. Of course, they did. They always do. But no one said a word, not at first.Lane walked two steps behind me, acting like he didn’t just beat the soul out of me in the middle of some abandoned shipping yard. The rookie kept his head down, barely speaking since we left the scene.The intake officer squinted at the bruises on my face. “Jesus. He fall down a flight of stairs on the way here?”Lane didn’t flinch. “Resisted arrest. Tried to run. Slipped during the takedown. Looked like he hit the pavement with his jaw.”The officer gave him a long look, then glanced back at me. “That true?”I could have said no, even though Lane didn't seem bothered about what my answer might be. It woul

    /-Eric-/I should’ve known better than to expect a clean ride to booking.The cruiser veered off the main road twenty minutes ago, and we’d been cruising through what looked like the industrial back end of the city since. Broken warehouses. Abandoned loading docks. Not a streetlight in sight.Detective Lane hadn't said a word. Neither had the rookie. The only sound was the hum of the tires against the cracked asphalt.Then the car stopped.“Out,” Lane said, his voice flat.I cocked my head. “Don’t we usually do mugshots at the station?”He opened the door. “This isn’t about processing.”That got my attention.The rookie stepped out first, clearly jittery. Lane came around and opened my door himself. Rough hands yanked me out, and before I could say another word, I was slammed chest-first against the hood of the cruiser.“Is this the part where you tell me I’ve got the right to remain silent?” I sneered.Lane leaned in close, breath hot against my ear. “No. This is the part where we re

    /–Eric–/I should have known it was a trap.From the moment my contact went silent. No calls, no texts, I felt it. That low, crawling chill in the pit of my stomach that told me something had shifted. Something was wrong.Still, I played it cool. Sat in my office like I was untouchable. Like I hadn’t just lost half my crew in a midnight raid. Like Maxmillian hadn’t just outplayed me.But inside, I was boiling.Betrayal.It reeked. I didn’t need confirmation to know where the leak came from—Piper. I should’ve cut her off months ago. But I’d underestimated her. Again. She’d always been smart, but I thought I had her scared enough to stay in line.Apparently not.I slammed the glass of whiskey down on the table hard enough to crack it, the sharp ring echoing through the room. The docks were gone. The cargo was gone. My men—arrested, dead, or in hiding.It was only a matter of time now.My phone buzzed. An unknown number.I answered, not saying a word.“Eric Mercer.” The voice was calm, s

    /–Gianna–/I stood on the balcony, watching them leave. Maxmillian led the way, calm and unreadable. Dante and Piper followed, keeping just enough space between them to show that trust was still shaky.The house felt too quiet, like the kind of silence that sinks into your skin.I wasn’t going with them. That had been understood from the start.Maxmillian never asked me to join, and I didn’t offer.This life,.his world, wasn’t mine. Even though I’d been dragged into it, even though I bore the scars, I had drawn a boundary. Tonight, I stayed behind it.Still, I gripped the balcony railing tightly, as if letting go would somehow make everything fall apart. I watched until the black SUVs disappeared into the night.The fight was out there.But the waiting—waiting was harder.I paced the halls. Checked my phone again and again. Time felt slow and heavy. Midnight passed, but sleep didn’t come. Somewhere, Maxmillian was facing danger. Either walking into Eric’s trap—or ending it once and fo

    /-Gianna-/We had visitors but I never could have imagined it would be Dante and Piper. They knew they were in Maxmillian's bad books. Not even bad books, they were on the verge of being sent to jail because of what they did to me. It must have lots of guts. Yes they apologised to me, but Maxmillan never said he has forgiven them amd I still feel a little bitterness in my heart towards them but what can I say?“Gianna,” Piper stood up the minute she saw me. I couldn't tell if the smile on her face was genuine or not. “It's good to see you, Piper,” i returned the smile even though I felt nothing. “What brings you here?”My gaze shifted to Eric who was a big reluctant to acknowledge me. I almost rolled my eyes. Like I cared about him! He has always been bitter since he became an ex. I didn't see why he was angry since he was the one who sent me away to begin with. It was probably because I found Maxmillan, his uncle, who was way better than him.“What brings you here, Dante?” I aske
