“But how could you have known? I never told you about my mother.” My brows frowned as I stared into Vincenzo’s eyes. I remember that day i had been on my way to his office to ask for help, but i never actually got to tell him.

Jasmine strolling unto the scene, hands in the pockets of her leather jacket, lips quirked in that signature smirk.

“That would be me, Hart,” I heard Jasmine’s voice and I turned around to find her here also. I was beyond shocked to see her.

“Jasmine…” i didn’t even give her a second to breath when I wrapped my arms around her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice cracked.

"I’m here for you silly," Jasmine said, squeezing me tight. "Just so you know, you have a lot of explaining to do." She said as she shot Vincenzo a subtle glare. “…a lot.”

“Right. Of course. Haha, I suppose I do owe you a lot of explanation. But seriously, thank you.” I hugged her again. I’m not certain what transpired while I was…well, kidnapped. But I’m glad things worked out.

“Well.

    “Oh, Nancy! My baby!” Nancy’s mother wailed bitterly as her husband held onto her. His face hard, eyes red. Anger simmering beneath the surface as he watched the face of his beautiful daughter from the open casket. She looked so peaceful, like she was just asleep. And he would have thought that would have happened if it wasn’t for the gaping gunshot wound in the center of her forehead. Vincenzo would pay for this with his blood! “How could you let this happen, William?!” His wife cried, grabbing his shirt. She blamed him for letting things come to this. “Quit your senseless yapping woman!” he yelled as he pushed her off of him, and she stumbled back, only to be caught by a group of women who looked distressed. William prince strode to his daughter’s coffin, a tear in his eyes as he looked down on her. He drew in a sharp breath. “I’m sorry, my girl. Your papa failed you, but never again, I swear, even if it’s the last thing I do, I’l

    Now that Lena was secured, it was time to tighten up the loose ends. The low hum of the jet filled the cabin, a constant reminder of how high we were above the world. I sat back in my seat, fingers drumming lightly against the armrest as I stared out at the endless stretch of clouds with a dead look in my eyes. Vermont wasn’t far now. Across from me, Lorenzo cleaned his sniper with the meticulous effort of a seasoned soldier. His usual offhanded smirk absents for once. “So,” he drawled, testing the weight of the gun in his grip. Pointing it directly at me. “Watch where you’re pointing that thing.” I glared at him. “What? Scared it’ll accidently go off?” he smirked. “Tch…” I scoffed, unamused. "No. Just wondering how much Isabel would miss you if I threw you off this jet." Lorenzo chuckled, finally lowering the weapon. He set it aside and leaned back, arms resting over the seat like he was lounging at some godfors

    JASMINE “Damn, Jazz! Your guy can really move!” Cory exclaimed as we finished up the routine. Luke had a triumphant look on his face, and it was kind of cute seeing him like this. “Didn’t I tell you?” I laughed. “It’s hard to believe that you’ve never been part of a dance crew before.” Matt hummed as he came to stand closer to us, his arms crossed over his chest. It had taken some convincing to get Matt to agree to let Luke sub in for Damien, but Luke had proven himself in record time. The guy was a natural—quick on his feet, precise, and, most importantly, adaptable. Although he made me promise not to mention that he was a boxer. “Yeah. I guess I’m just a quick study.” He shrugged casually, as though it wasn’t a big deal. Typical. “Do you work out? You look so strong,” Isaac commented as he grabbed Luke by the arm, inspecting his triceps. “Come on, give the guy some space.” I frowned, shooing them off of him. I admit, at first even I had been skeptical about bringing Luke on

    The evening settled over the horizon, casting a golden glow through the massive windows of Vincenzo’s room. From where I sat on the edge of his bed, I could see the skyline as the setting sun ushered in the night sky. Twinkling stars appeared one at a time until the whole sky was sparkling. This whole week had been one hell of a roller coaster for me. And down to this very moment, I still question how I was able to survive. I survived Nancy’s threats to my life, my mother’s surgery was a success, and my family was together again. It was oddly---peaceful. But, I wouldn’t have it any other way.“What’s with that look?” Vincenzo’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned around to find him standing at the other side of the bed. Freshly out of the shower wearing only a pair of gray loose-fitting joggers that hung from his waist. Tiny droplets of water raced down his chiseled chest, and his hair was still damp. I couldn’t help but smile when he came to my side, planting a kiss on

    Vincenzo and my mother seemed to get along well as they discussed strangely enough about gardening.“And the trick to keeping roses blooming longer,” my mother said, “is to prune them at an angle. Otherwise, they don’t absorb water properly.”Vincenzo, the ruthless Vincenzo Maranzano, nodded as if he were genuinely interested. “That makes sense. I’ve always liked roses, but I’ve never had the patience to keep plants alive.”My mother chuckled. “Oh, it’s not patience, dear. It’s care.”Vincenzo’s gaze flickered toward me then, a small smirk forming at the corner of his lips. “I suppose I’m learning.”Hugh and Carson, who had been quiet up until now, shared a look. Hugh leaned in, lowering his voice as he whispered, “Is it just me, or is this really weird?”Carson snorted. “Super weird.”“I can hear you two,” I muttered, shooting them a look.They both shrugged, clearly unbothered.Hugh scooted closer to me. “Len, your boyfriend is super rich.” “Yeah. What does he do?” Carson, always t
