Lyla

The sun woke me up, almost blinding me as I tried to adjust to it. I had overslept again. Did Emilio drug me? Was I just tired?

I spent all evening alone. They didn't return and whoever was guarding me this time was so good, I couldn't even tell they existed.

I wondered how many guards they kept around the house. Knowing the men, if they were as arrogant as my father was ,then it would bring the number to one. Which I suspect is largely because of my presence here.

I stayed in the library all day before I took the book I was reading to bed. As the words of Gabe Hansel put me to sleep, I dreamed of a work where I could be free to go outside without a man dictating my movements.

A loud yawn racked my body, breaking off my fairytale reverie. I was kidding myself. Women like me were never alone. Mafia men somehow thought we were so fragile, we needed to be under their thumb at all times. At least my papa had let me get educated enough to read, I shudder thinking about some of my pe

    Emilio’s POV Lyla’s head was on my lap. She was making cute baby noises, and I watched her sleep, stroking her hair. “We will be there soon,” Xiomar said from the front. He had taken over driving from Achilles after God knows how many miles, forcing my elder brother to rest. I peered outside. “Do you think we would be accepted?” Xiomar said nothing. Isaiah glanced up, looking at me. “Geez, I'm his son,” he hissed. “He can't hate me that much.” I narrowed my eyes at my cousin. “You told him we were coming right?” Isaiah looked away. “What does telling him mean exactly?” “Did you tell your father we were coming?” “Seeing you three betrayed him, and refused to return home, I did not,” Isaish shrugged. “I am sure he would not be so angry.” Holy fuck. “We are entering into enemy territory,” I hissed. “You did not tell your father that we were coming?” Achilles woke up. “What's going on?” “Isaiah lied,” I hissed. “No, I didn't,” he cried out. “I just left out a few t

    LYLA’S POV The man grabbed me by my forearm. “Follow me,” he hissed. I glanced back at my men. “Where will you take them?” “None of your business,” he hissed, dragging me into the large house. “But don't worry, I won't kill them. Not yet.” I swallowed. Emilio had called him his uncle, and Isaiah called him father. I thought he was an orphan. How come he— “Do you know who I am, young girl?” I shook my head. “No. They never spoke about you.” Isaiah trailed behind us. “There was a reason for that, Lyla,” he answered. “My father is—” “My son is dead,” the man hissed. “He died the day he ran away. I do not know you.” “Father, please,” he begged. “Get lost,” he said. “Before I shoot you.” I watched Isaiah slink away. “You should not scream at your child like that,” I said. The man glared at me. “We're going to my study.” I walked behind him. “Your house, it's beautiful.” It was almost as big as Christians. “Thank you,” he said. “I got it from my father, and he go
