เข้าสู่ระบบHera POV Three months later.I stare at the woman reflected in the mirror and I can't help but smile. She looks so different with makeup on and happy.I am happy.It's been three months since Mason and the others rescued me.In the past three months, so much has happened. Lily finally attended her therapy sessions and regained her speech.Mason managed a clean exit from Shadow Riders and left Zero to manage the club. He has been dedicating his days to keeping Lily and I company.Chloe and Zero held a flash marriage and moved in together. Nyx and Ghost have been dating. I'd say, I never expected that Nyx would be into someone like Ghost.He is hot tempered, just like she is. I thought she would go for a soft spoken person but she proved me wrong.That's not the most funny thing. It's the fact that Ghost is no longer the hot headed man I knew, at least not at the presence of Nyx.She has tamed him and he is happy. That's the most important thing.The door to my room is pushed open and
Mason POV The anger and hatred on Connor's voice is unconcealed.I look at Zero who is taking cover several metres from me and I see the shock, mirroring my own.Not even in my wildest dreams would I have thought that Connor was a Luca. He never acted as one.Always smiling.I push myself up, ready to confront him. Zero shakes his head but I am determined.I didn't betray anyone so why should I be afraid.Slowly, I stand up and come out of my hiding.When Connor spots me, he points his gun at me.“ I can see you didn't die huh even after my careful planning. That bastard is as useless as his dick!” He growls.“ Even the heavens took pity on me. How could I die when I didn't offend anyone?” I counter, my face composed. Connor snorts.“ Who do you think you are fooling? Aren't you the one who led your team to exterminate my family after getting paid?” He accuses, eyes blaring with fury.“ Who ordered it? The mission clearly came from the headquarters. I am just someone who oversees exe
Zero POVThe door swings wider as footsteps crunch outside, and the rest of the crew piles in.Shadow arrives first, his eyes scanning the dim room like he is expecting traps.He is followed by Ghost and Tank, their faces tight with the same mix of relief and wariness I feel. The boy steps back, wide-eyed, as the small space fills with our bulk. Mason pushes himself up straighter on the mattress, wincing, his face pale under the bruises."Brother, I'm glad you are alive" Shadow says, clapping Mason on the shoulder gently. Ghost nods, hanging back but his shoulders relaxing just a fraction.“ I wouldn't die so soon buddy.” Mason replies with a wry smile.He then grunts, rubbing his temple. "Got any painkillers? Head's killing me."I dig into my jacket pocket, pulling out the small bottle from our kit. My hand shakes with relief as I pass it over.He pops two dry, swallowing with a grimace. "Thanks."We all stand there for a beat, the air heavy with unspoken questions. My chest tighte
Mason POV It feels like forever sitting in that cramped space until distant shouts echo outside.My senses heighten and my hand goes to the gun, fingers tight on the grip. Adrenaline spikes, heart racing. I creep to the door, peering through a crack. The path outside is empty with overgrown weeds swaying in the breeze. There's no sign of Leon yet.Memories flood again, our engagement party, Hera's smile that lit up the night. I was supposed to protect her, build a life with her and our daughter and now? Everything is shattered. I don't even know if she is safe and alive. Anger surges inside me and I curse inwardly.I don't know who intended to harm us but whoever he is – they'll pay. I'll make sure of it. But first, I have to get out of here and find my old lady.The door creaks and this time, Leon slips back in, breathing hard. His face is flushed from running. He is not alone though. With him is another red head boy,the same age as him. He looks at me, his face lighting up in ama
Zero POV Chloe's face twists into a snarl, her fists balling up as she steps toward Fiona, eyes blazing with fury. "You take that back, you…" She trails off as the sound of my phone ringing cuts through the tension.I glance at the screen. It's Nyx. My stomach knots, a cold wave of dread washing over me. I have been dreading her call these past two days. I knew she would eventually call me but I wasn't prepared for what to say. However, I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't going to tell her the truth if she asked about Hera and Mason.I turn to look at Fiona and give her a stern look.“ Don't move. We're not done here." My voice comes out low, edged with warning. She crosses her arms, smirking, but stays put. Good. She knows better that I don't play nice like Mason.I step away, my heart thudding as I swipe to answer. "Nyx? What's up?" I ask, pretending to sound casual even when I am a bundle of nerves inside."Zero, Lily's been asking about Mason and Hera nonstop. I have tried call
Mason POV Distant whispers pull me from the darkness.They sound soft and muffled, like voices underwater. My head throbs, like someone is using a hammer to pound my skull. I wince, forcing my eyelids open. At first, everything is blurry. I blink severally before my vision clears. Rough walls stare back at me. They are cracked and the plaster is peeling in strips. A single bulb hangs from the ceiling on a frayed wire, casting weak yellow light over a dirt floor scattered with old crates and a thin mattress where I'm lying. The air smells musty, like wet earth.Where the hell am I? That's the first thing that comes to mind.I shift, trying to sit up, but pain shoots through my spine, like a sharp knife carving through. My mind races, grasping for memories. The engagement party— Hera's face lighting up as I slipped the ring on her finger, laughter echoing in the room. Then Hera and I left the resort, driving back late at night.Then... headlights blinding us from ahead as two bl
