Today, despite all odds might be a good day. “The plane is ready yeah?” My younger brother rolled his eyes. “How do you expect me to know?” He asked. “The only thing I care about is her.” I followed his gaze, watching Lyla kiss Horace on his cheeks. She had gained more colour in the last days, her black hair back to its shiny coat. “Magnificent.” “What did you say?” “She is beautiful,” I croaked out, opening the boot. Lyla strutted to my side. “What's that?” Xiomar I dragged the small box behind me. It was very sunny now, the sky blue.

LylaWe landed after an hour. Emilio was still off, his eyes hazy but when I tapped him, he gave me a small smile, then looked forward.Achilles was worst. The strain between him and Isaiah was practically stinking up the car as we drove to the safe house that Horace has gotten for us. “When are we reaching out to your men?”“We already started,” Achilles replied. “Isaiah manged to get intouch with a few loyalists, so we are meeting them tonight.”“I want to do something,” I said. “I need to do something.”“Well, you're doing enough.”That was not enough. The car parked in front of an iron gate. Achilles climbed out, walked to the gate and brought out a key pad..I watched him type in some numbers, them the gate slid open.Xiomar drove the car inside. “We're here.”What Horace called a safe house was a duplex. It was nothing as fancy as their former house, but the stylish modern duplex was so large. Achilles opened the front door. “I'll pus in codes for everyone soon,” he said.We wal

Lyla strutted to my side. “What's that?”“Just a few personal items,” I informed her. They were actually my mom's and sisters. “I thought it's best I took them, don't know when I'll be back here.”“Hopefully never,” she sighed. “Your uncle is honestly terrifying. What is it you said he does again?”I smiled. “He's retired.”“Yeah, I don't believe that,” she eyes a guard warily. “Katrina is coming with us?” “She's is taking another car,” Emilio said, placing his hand over her shoulder. “Hello
Lyla I opened my eyes blinking. A heavy tatted up hand rested on my lower abdomen, pinning me to the bed. The sun was up thankfully, and I yawned, the soft mattress against my skin. This was, the best sleep I had had in months. “Achilles,” I groaned, tapping his arm. “Babe?” “Go back to sleep,” Achilles muttered grumpily, pulling me closer to him. I giggled beneath my breath. “It's morning.” He was completely shirtless, and he lifted his head facing me. The sun shine above him, causing his blue eyes too look much softer. “Morning.” “How was your night?” I thought about coming out to three of them about the truth. “Best night ever,” I whispered. He smiled. “Perfect. That is all I want you to experience, Lyla.” I believe him. “Until we have Silvie, I won't be at peace,” I sighed. “We'll get her back, safe and sound soon,” he said. He rolled so he was now on top of me. “In the meantime though…” “Achilles,” I laughed, feeling his hard dick through the small material of
LYLA'S POV I held Aries tightly in my arms. “You made it,” I cried, sobs racking through both our bodies. “I thought I would never see you again.”Aries sniffled and sat back. Her face was thinner, her eyes hollow, but she was alive. “They came for you, but it was already too late. You shouldn’t h
The IV line hummed softly beside me, the cool drip working its way into my veins. Mrs. Wilkens was writing on her clipboard again, her pen scratching quietly against the paper. I watched her from the corner of my eye, my body heavy against the mattress, too weak to sit up.Emilio hadn’t moved from
Lyla’s POV The first thing I felt was the ache. Not sharp, not unbearable, but deep, lodged in my bones like a reminder of everything I had survived. My eyelids fluttered open, assaulted by a pale wash of morning light filtering through the curtains. For a moment I lay still, disoriented, the ceil
Xiomar’s POVI closed the door shut behind me, my heart beating loudly in my chest. She was here, with us, alive.And I had never felt so much like a failure before.“Fuck,” I cursed softly, sitting in the bed. Lyla deserved better than me. She deserved better than us. We put her into this mess, an
