CALISTA'S P.O.V

An hour passed.

He left me in here for sixty minutes. I tried to think of anything but him, yet my mind always wandered back. It didn't help that I was in his room, surrounded by his belongings.

I didn't know Roman - my husband well enough, but his bedroom had come as no surprise to me. It was exactly what I imagined it would be.

The king-sized bed sat in the center of the room, covered in black cotton sheets with a heavy charcoal throw folded neatly at the foot. Floor-to-c

    CALISTA'S P.O.VI haven't seen Roman since yesterday.He shot me a quick text last night while Isabella and I sat on the terrace, just talking until we decided it was late. She retired to the wing prepared for them and I went to my room, but I couldn't sleep, not with how disturbed I was by everything.So I lay down on an empty bed and thought about Roman and how I missed him - us. The brief moments where we just basked in our love and warmth without any troubles to deal with.I thought about my friend Lilian, her beautiful smile and bright eyes. I really hope she's okay.I thought about little Aria, whom I'd only just gotten to know a few days ago. Now it feels like my heart will burst if I don't see her. She was doing alright according to Vincent, but I wanted to see her for myself , her big hazel eyes, the light and innocence in them.Amidst all that thinking, I somehow fell asleep. It was morning when I peeled my eyes open, my body twisted in an awkward position that left my musc

    ROMAN'S P.O.V"You've had enough."Fabiano attempted to take the whiskey away from me but my hard glare made him freeze in place.Whiskey won't kill me, but losing Callie definitely will. It's why I have to make plans as soon as possible.Eight days. I had only eight days till the bloody X Bròtherhood carried out their plans.That was barely enough time to plan."I'm going to need all the backup I can get," I muttered, knocking back the contents of my glass. The liquor burned through my throat but it wasn't enough.I need something hotter. Something stronger to numb the voices in my head.Eight days. Eight bloody days.All it would take was one wrong move, one mistake. One bullet and I would lose the most important person in my life. Red dots of anger stained my vision. That won't be happening, not even over my dead twitching corpse.Fabiano studied the antiques in my home office, his steps muffled by the thick Italian rug, his eyes deep in contemplation. "You ever have any ideas who

    LILIAN'S P.O.VLucas didn't pull away immediately as I expected him toRage tightened his muscles at Rick's laughter. “We'll come back to this” he whispered into my ear, kissing my neck one last time before settling me in the passenger's seat of his carHis promises fell over me like a dark, warm cloak. Even though Rick and Ryan were now standing in front of Lucas' car, all I could feel was the needI wasn't scared of what they'd do if things didn't work out anymore. After all, Lucas had seen the videos and pictures of me fùcking thsoe two brothers I deliberately showed it to him, thinking he'd be disgusted and let me fight this battle alone. But Lucas only took my phone from my hands, deleted the videos, and asked a simple question ‘What are we going to do about this?’He has seen the worst part of me and still chose to stay. What other form of confirmation do I need?He climbed down from his car and turned around to open the door on my side. Ryan snickered, rolling his eyes.Lucas

    LILIAN'S P.O VRyan had footages that would destroy my life And by destroy, I mean the kind that would make me slit my veins and dump myself in the farthest laggon from the Cappellucci mansion My throat tightened as I sat in Lucas's sports car. If it weren't for him, maybe I would have taken my chances with the Lagoon But there was too much I didn't want to lose. I still wanted to keep seeing my grandmother, even though she doesn't know who I am anymore. I still wanted to see my mother, at least onceI want to ask her if she was truly happy to abandon me? Why didn't she ever visit, not once over the years? I wanted to visit Disneyland again, this time with someone, I don't know who, only that that person has to be very special to me, because that place was special tooI shifted in the car seat, the expensive leather crinkling under my weight. The single bulb in the abandoned parking lot flickered once, its orange light blinking with a buzz. Ryan had given us this address after ou

    CALISTA'S P.O.VRoman arrived with the company.My jaw almost touched the floor in surprise when I heard Isabella's cheerful voice knocking on my bedroom doorI dashed out and met her in the hallway, she looked different, brighter than I remembered. Her smile vanished when I opened the door“Calista, how've you—”The rest of her words were cut off because I engulfed her in a hug so tight, I'm so she must have choked but didn't say it for friendship's sake. It's been so long since we saw each other, and a lot has been going on lately, seeing Isabella in person was like a short relief to those couple of daysBetween the silent tension on Roman's shoulders, Lilian drifting away, the kids rescued, it's as if everyone in this house seemed to know something that I didn't, and between it all I was losing my mindI sniffled, tasting salt on my lips. It was only when Isabella pulled back and studied my face curiously that I realized I had been crying Her brows furrowed together in worry, she

    ROMAN'S P.O.VIf I listened carefully, I could hear the seconds ticking inside my headOne...two...one...two...One of my men pours whiskey into three shot glasses on the coffee table while we sit centered around it. I take mine and knock it down my throat the second he finishes “You can help me get the Brother” I muse aloud even as Isabella winces while taking the liquor. “This whiskey is very strong” she says almost disapprovingly, Fabiano mutters a laugh and finishes the contents of his glass in one shot “You can help me get the brother” I repeated aloud, watching her intently.Isabella takes out a napkin from her purse and wipes the corner of her mouth. “Yes Romano” she answers “I can help you get inside the Brotherhood circle and if you play your cards right, we can find out who the brother is and burn this organization to shambles”“Hmm,” I lean back against my swirling chair. I had this room tailored to suit and an underground office, and only used it for very serious, bloody

    CALISTA'S P.O.V We never talked about that night again.I had woken up alone in bed, Roman's side was warm, proof that he had stayed till morning before leaving. If it weren't for the soreness in between my legs and the twisted, rough sheets, I would have chalked what happened up to a visceral dre

    CALISTA'S POV.“Keep your hands right there.” He growled, a low and commanding sound.Roman's whiskey eyes were as dark as obsidian in the dim light. I wriggled my wrists that were tied above my head, trying to free my hands so I could touch him, his toned skin, his hard muscles, but stopped when
