ALINA

“Tell you what?” he asked, as if he genuinely didn’t know.

I almost laughed, and no, it wasn't because I found it funny. I took his hand, rubbing my fingers over his knuckles, trying to relax the harshness on his face.

I wasn't trying to fight him, and maybe this was too soon, but the thoughts had eaten at me the entire time he was gone.

I had begged for his forgiveness, and he had refused to give it, but all I could see was Analide holding onto my husband like he was hers to do with as she pleased.

I stepped back, just slightly, enough to see all of him. His jacket still smelled faintly of smoke and gun oil, and his eyes hadn’t softened since the moment he walked in.

If anything, they were more calculating now that I had asked my question. So I decided to back off for now. “How did the meeting go with Riot?”

Luca’s demeanor was not anymore welcoming to hat question. “Fuck Riot. What are you going on about Analide for?”

“She’s in love with you,” I said, watching for even t

    LUCAThe only way we were getting out was shooting our way out,and that's what we did. “Keep shooting and don't fucking stop.” I yelled at Vector, shoving a crate in front of me and shooting from the side. My ears were ringing from the echo of the bullets, but it didn't matter because we were creeping steadily closer to the door. We didn't need to kill all the men, we needed to get out. “I'm going to stand and distract them, you move the crate to the door. You have a few seconds. Do you understand?” Vector nodded,. pushing the crate forward while I stood. My skull was splitting in two but the men were falling like fleas from each shot. And they were shooting back, the bullets hitting my arm, and shoulder. “Get down here! You'll get yourself killed.” “Get us out of this place!” I screamed at Vector and sok , he'd dragged the crate to the side door shoved the door open and backed us out. The clean air outside was a relief and I drank it in, my chest and shoulders burning. I coul

    LUCAThe man’s head snapped back in a red spray, and I didn’t even blink.My finger stayed locked on the trigger, sweeping across the shadows in case his friends decided to come charging out like idiots. The warehouse rang with the echo, the metal beams overhead throwing the sound back at us, making it impossible to tell which corner the next bastard was coming from.“Left!” Vector’s voice came through the noise.I swung, fired twice. One bullet caught the man’s throat, another shredded his shoulder. He slammed into a crate, blood dripping down his chest before he crumpled face-first onto the concrete.Ricochets whined like angry bees, sparking against steel beams, chipping walls. It smelled like cordite and rust, like blood drying too fast in hot air. My arm burned where a bullet had grazed me,nothing deep, just enough to sting like hell. I hissed and pressed my shoulder against a crate for cover.“Fuck!” I snapped. “This was supposed to be a meeting, not a massacre.”Vector ben

    ALINA“Mommy, what’s happening?” Maya asked against my shoulder when I reached them. “Nothing we can’t handle,” I lied, kissing the top of her head.But inside, my mind was a storm.Who was out there? What had tripped the system? And how much longer could we pretend this was just a temporary hiding place, instead of a cage with alarms for bars?I stood by the edge of the console, the children tucked against me. Cheese or baby, it didn’t matter. I wasn’t alone in this body.And if the world outside thought it could take that away from me? It had another thing coming.I pulled up the feed expecting shadows. A man, maybe. Something I could put teeth to.Instead, it was a doe.It was just standing there, neck long and delicate, ears flicking at every sound. And behind her, wobbling like a drunk who hadn’t learned his legs yet, her fawn. The little thing bent its head, nosing the dirt, trying to find something that wasn’t there. It stumbled, knees buckling. The mother nudged it back

    ALINAThe walls were starting to close in on me.Not literally, though if the safe house had decided to sprout teeth and swallow me whole, I might’ve welcomed the distraction.Two days in, and already my world had shrunk down to four beige-painted walls, one security system that worked with the smugness of a guard dog. And the occasional reminder that I was, in fact, still a person and not just a piece of furniture in hiding with two children who never seemed to run out of questions.Leo was sprawled on the carpet with his toy cars, zooming them across a fake racetrack he’d built from couch cushions, while Maya had her crayons spread like confetti across the coffee table. They were adaptable in ways I couldn’t fathom. New room, new house, new rules about not touching doors or windows without asking Megan first, but they absorbed it all with the kind of resilience that made me both proud and guilty.Because under all of it, the questions never stopped.“Mom,” Leo leaned up, head lif

    LUCAMy hands on the wheel was the only thing holding me together.Not the caffeine, not the plan running in my head like clockwork, just that steady vibration that kept me from blowing the whole city up before I even reached the office.It was times like this that I realized just how lonesome it could get. With Alina stuck in the safe house, there was no one to talk to. And I couldn't call her too often. Who knew? Maybe someone was keeping track of my calls and movements, I couldn't lead them right back to her. I drove with one hand on the wheel, the other on the phone, scrolling past names that meant trouble and landing on one I hadn’t seen in a couple of days. Analide.I hadn’t called her since that day I let her go. Now, when she answered, I went right in. “Call Alvez, tell him you want to meet." “Except I don't want to meet. Why would I do that?” “You do. You just don't know it yet. Has he reached out to you? Or have you reached out to him.?” “No, I've been trying to hea

    LUCAThe call came in before I’d even had coffee the next morning. Rafael’s voice was tight. He only spoke like that when something had gone wrong in a way that would cost us.“Boss, we’ve got a problem in the streets.”I was still half in the dark of my study, one shoulder leaning against the wall, phone pressed to my ear. “What kind of problem?”“There was an overdose. It happened last night. Word’s getting out and around.”That yanked the last of the sleep out of my narrowed eyes. Cleared it in a way so brutal even coffee couldn't do it. Overdoses weren’t just bad for optics, they were bad for business. A man who was dead couldn’t earn, and a man who was chasing his next fix was unpredictable, sloppy. In my world, sloppy people get killed.“What was it?” I asked, my voice low.There was a pause. Too long. I could hear the shuffle of movement on his end, the faint honk of traffic somewhere behind him.“Rafael?” I proded. “Cocaine,” he said finally.I closed my eyes and swore un
