ROMAN’S POV

The jet touched ground.

Toledo.

I didn't speak as Riccardo drove against speed limits. Justin had tracked down where they were keeping Calista.

My jaw cracked as we rounded into the building. My gun was drawn. Alberto was here with me too, with fire in his eyes.

The moment I stepped out of my study and into the garage, everything clicked.

Too many things had happened today. Joel showing up at the exact time I was supposed to return home with Calista, Declan, and the stash that Lucas found, and Valentina's grave.

The only reason why so much things could happen at once was if someone wanted to distract me.

Trap. It was a fúcking trap to get me to stay in Chicago while Callie was here in Ohio.

Red and black spots of rage tainted my vision. I made such a big mistake by leaving her in Toledo with Joel. I should have been more careful.

Fúck it. I should never have left her alone.

I cócked my gun. Alberto and I stepped out of the car at the same time. Joel's safehouse was wher

    Trigger Warning: This chapter contains scenes of physical violence, graphic content, and gore. Reader discretion is advised.CALISTA'S P. O. VThey cleaned me up By ‘they’ I meant two women, I didn't know their names, nor did I care to know. Matteo and Joel didn't bind me before throwing me into what looked like the master bedroom of Joel's so-called safe house, but I wasn't stupid enough to make an escape attempt now.They're watching me, so I have to be smart.My heart hammered in my chest as one of the women poured shampoo into my hair. I was less worried about why strange people were cleaning me up, but more about how to get out safely, before Matteo could do any disgusting thing to me.“Sit still” one of the women snapped with a frown. I was seated in a tub while they washed my arms. I didn't pay her any attention, even when they both started grumbling about my discomfort.My pulse was racing. I knew we were still in Toledo, so the chances that I could get to Aunt Lena before Ro

    CALISTA'S P.O.VI stared back into his wicked eyes. All the hate and anger and pain that he had inflicted on me were bubbling hot in my veins.“You.” I gritted out through clenched teeth. All aching muscles were forgotten.His smile stretched wider. “Yes, baby. Me, your rightful husband.”The words twisted my stomach like poison. I could never see myself as his wife, not after experiencing liberation, not after being with a man who made me whole.“Fuck you, Matteo” I spat, eyeing him. Matteo's eyes hardened, and he lunged towards me and gripped my jaw tightly. I didn't flinch, even though pain racked through my body, I didn't give Matteo Orsini the satisfaction. “You will obey me” He sneered. “You will be my obedient cúnt and whore yourself to me the way you did with Cappellucci.” I breathed hard. “You will never be half the man Roman is” I mocked, taking reprieve in the way his body went rigid.Behind us, Joel whistled. “Ah, a girl in love, just her father ‘loved’ my mother.”Tear

    ROMAN'S P. O. VTomorrow night was far away.So far, it's been five hours since I left Ohio. I stared out my office window, not seeing anything but my wife's face.Tomorrow night was too far away. I wouldn't be able to wait that long.Alberto had gone to see Lilian, so it was just me in my study, alone, with nothing but the memory of her skin on mine, her taste still on my tongue. I closed my eyes, a sigh leaving my lips before I could stop it. Just hours ago, I had confessed my feelings to her, she should have been here with me, but Joel Silas fúcking Junior just had to show up. My hands balled into a fist by my side, I strode over to my desk and picked up my cell, then for what should be the tenth time in three hours, I called Anito. I would never leave Calista unprotected, but I didn't want to suffocate her, so I told Anito and three other men of his to watch the building discreetly.His phone rang once, Anito answered. “Boss?”“Status” I ordered flatly. “No activity, sir,” An

    CALISTA'S P. O. VCrack. The sound echoed around the room, louder than my beating heart. Hope spread its wings inside me, giving me a sudden surge of strength. I hit the wall again, recoiling back slightly, but the impact left a dent. My heart hanged in my throat. “Please. Please. Please." I begged, I didn't know who or what exactly I was begging, only that the plea couldn't stop slipping out of my mouth. “Please,” I whispered, my eyes were hazy, and pain shot from my hand up to my shoulder with every swing. “Just break.” I swung again, harder. The crack of wood on the wall echoed through the room. Dust fell, and I shielded my eyes with my hand. When the dirt settled, I looked closer at the wall, and a flake of plaster had fallen away. Plaster. It wasn't solid after all “Oh God,” I breathed. Without any hesitation, I swung again, harder, faster, more determined. Dust fell from the ceiling, only now did I notice something layering the odd smell of the room, damp and mold, lik

    CALISTA'S P. O. VI woke up choking on my own breath.I pressed a hand to my chest, groaning as I did. Water, I needed water.“What happened?” I muttered, blinking at my surroundings. I couldn't make sense of the gray walls around me, my head throbbed making me wince “Roman?” I called, weren't we just together moments ago? How did I get....The memory rushed in like a wave, crashing into my mind. I blinked again and then squinted my eyes.I had asked Roman to leave so I could say a proper goodbye to Joel and Aunt Lena, then he.. Joel injected something into me with a syringe.“Oh God,” I whispered, my words echoed faintly in the cold room, but no one responded, no single sound except my own breath. I rubbed the arms that were peppered with goosebumps. Where was I?This wasn’t Aunt Lena’s apartment.It wasn’t anywhere I recognized.Slowly, the entire room came into focus. Thick gray unadorned walls, concrete cold floor and a celling so high, I had to crane my neck back to look at it
