When you’re staring death in the face, your first instinct is to survive. It’s just how humans are wired — to run, to escape, to fight when their life is in danger.

Man or beast, the first thing they’d do when they feel their life slipping away is try to save it.

The last thing Gigi remembered before everything went black was the bullet tearing through her flesh. She didn’t even feel the pain at the time — but now, as her consciousness slowly returns, a bone-deep agony slammed into her like a wave.

It was sharp and relentless, flooding her senses. She kept slipping in and out of consciousness, but one thing was clear: she had to survive. No matter how much it hurt, she couldn’t let it end here. She couldn’t die like this.

A cry of pain escaped her lips when she tried to move the leg that had been shot. Tears welled in her eyes as she dragged herself across the forest floor, not even knowing where she was going. A

    Roccio and Gigi sat across from each other, shooting daggers with their eyes. Roccio had bruises on both cheeks, while Gigi’s hair was a complete mess after he pulled it earlier. They were sitting in silence, nursing their wounds. Gigi still couldn’t believe she actually threw a punch that hard. It was her first time hitting someone, and only because she was that pissed. She wasn’t the type to lose her cool easily—but Roccio being involved in drug dealings? That crossed the line. She hated drugs with a passion. When she punched Roccio a second time, he didn’t hit her back—he just grabbed her hair and yanked it like some hysterical woman. It was such a bizarre sight—this notorious syndicate leader acting like a drama queen in a catfight. Honestly, what kind of sane man pulls a woman’s hair during a fight? So instead of panicking, everyone around them just burst into laughter. Especially since both of them had long hair—it r

    Every move Roccio made was watched closely by Gigi. She and JD sat silently on the leather couch in the living room while Roccio kept glancing around, carefully inspecting JD’s house like a hawk. It was Roccio who insisted they talk inside, claiming the sun was just too hot outside. JD hadn’t said anything yet about why Roccio was there, or whether the two of them really knew each other. But in Gigi’s mind, the pieces were starting to come together. She couldn’t believe it—yet somehow, it made sense. “Why are you two so quiet? I thought you'd be happy I dropped by,” Roccio said, turning to them. He was standing near a vintage painting and began walking toward them, hands clasped behind his back. Gigi sighed deeply, stood up, and looked at JD. “Can we talk? Just the two of us?” “Oh yeah, you should. She owes you an explanation,” Roccio chimed in casually with a shrug, like he didn’t give a damn

    JD quickly shook his head at Gigi’s suggestion. He knew the man too well—greedy and cunning. There was no way he’d let Gigi get involved in the negotiations between the two of them. Even though Gigi had already met the guy, JD didn’t want her anywhere near this. “I got this. Let me handle that bastard,” JD muttered, clearly annoyed. “It just pisses me off how cocky he is. He’s always got this laid-back attitude that really gets under my skin.” His brows furrowed as if a memory came back to him. He shook his head and ruffled his hair. “This guy… is he really that bad?” Gigi asked, clearly worried. “You said we needed someone just as ruthless as Arnold McIntosh. But what if he turns on us? I’m scared, JD. He’s a dangerous man. There’s a huge chance he’ll betray us, too.” She meant every word. If it were up to her, she and JD would take McIntosh down on their own. Getting help from someone equally evil didn’t sit right with h

    Gigi had waited almost two weeks for JD to finally tell her who this person was that could possibly help them. No matter how much she insisted, JD kept putting it off, saying he wanted her to recover first before introducing the man he was talking about. She was excited… and a little nervous. Whoever this guy was, she could only hope he’d really be able to help. Even if it went against her instincts, she was willing to trust him—just like JD asked her to. And if things went south, well, she’d definitely blame JD for it. In the two weeks she’d been staying at JD’s house, she’d gotten to know almost everyone working there. They were all kind and took good care of her. Some even teased her for how JD always made sure she had everything she needed. But Gigi knew there was nothing romantic between them—JD only ever saw her like a sister. She also knew exactly who JD had feelings for. She was quietly watching Wella prepare their

    Gigi couldn’t take her eyes off JD. It had been four days since he saved her from certain death, but she still couldn’t believe he was really here—alive and moving right in front of her. She wanted to be mad at him for making her cry. She truly believed he was gone, and that was one of the hardest things she’d ever had to accept. When the news about the search and rescue mission aired on TV, it felt like she lost a brother for the second time. JD chuckled as he placed a bowl of fresh fruit on the small table beside her bed. He took the vacant seat and faced her, looking more relaxed than she remembered. She’d been moved to a room without any hospital equipment now. But what puzzled Gigi was the fact that JD had a house like this—something that looked more like a private clinic than a home. She hadn’t had the chance to ask why. And there were a lot of people stationed outside too, keeping watch. “Why are you

    BLAZING FURY—that’s what burned in Ronson’s eyes as he stormed into the house. Even before stepping inside, he was met by the two men he had paid to guard Odin. Both were armed. He hadn't been gone that long—but this? This mess? There was no excuse. If it were up to him, he would’ve killed the two of them already. Terror was written all over their faces. As it should be, Ronson thought furiously. Without a single word, he landed a solid punch right into one guy’s face. The blow hit the man square on the nose, dropping him instantly in agony. Ronson then turned to the other guy and kicked him hard in the gut. The man collapsed, clutching his stomach, groaning in pain. Ronson wanted to beat them to a pulp. He grabbed the collar of the guy he had just kicked and snarled in his face, “I gave you one job—watch one kid! That’s it! And you couldn’t even handle that?!” His
