MARA’S POV

The estate was still standing when we returned.

But it no longer felt like home.

It felt like a crime scene.

I ran upstairs with Dante close behind me. Two guards were stationed outside the secure room, their weapons raised and their faces pale.

“Open it,” I ordered.

The door unlocked.

Sofia and Lia were still inside.

Sofia sat on the bed with Lia pressed against her side. Both girls looked up at us, and the re

    MARA’S POVThe bullet struck the container beside Dante's head.Sparks exploded across the metal.“DOWN!”I grabbed his jacket and dragged him behind a stack of wooden crates as gunfire tore through the warehouse. Bullets smashed into the containers, sending splinters and metal fragments flying through the air.So much for a quiet entrance.“Tell me you have a plan,” Dante shouted over the gunfire.“I had one before your friend announced our arrival!”“Marcus isn't my friend anymore.”“Excellent. We're making progress.”I pulled a smoke grenade from my vest and rolled it toward the office doorway.A moment later, the warehouse filled with thick grey smoke.“Move!”We broke from cover.Two armed men appeared between the crates. I fired at the first man's weapon, forcing him to drop it, then drove my shoulder into the second and sent him crashing against a stac

    MARA’S POVThe message was still glowing on Victor’s phone when I finished loading my weapon.Rafael’s men were moving toward the eastern port again.The same port we had fought to protect only hours earlier.I looked at Dante. His jaw tightened as he read the message over Victor’s shoulder.“How many men?” Dante asked.“Two vehicles confirmed on the road,” Victor replied. “Our surveillance team believes there are more behind them. We lost contact with the men stationed at the southern entrance five minutes ago.”Dante reached for his jacket.“I’m going.”“No,” I said.His eyes shifted to mine. “Mara.”“You’re injured. You can barely lift your left arm without wincing.”“And you think I’ll stay here while Rafael takes another piece of my empire?”“I think you’ll stay alive long enough to take it back.”For a moment, neither of us spoke.Victor sudden

Both girls looked up at us, and the relief on their faces nearly brought me to my knees.I crossed the room and pulled them into my arms.Dante checked the windows, the emergency exit, and every corner before joining us.“They're safe,” he whispered.“For now.”He heard the warning in my voice.I didn't want to frighten the girls, so I kissed their foreheads and forced a smile.“Your father and I need to take care of something. Victor will stay with you, and you'll remai

    MARA’S POVThe estate gates were open when we arrived.That was the first thing I noticed.The second was the blood.A security guard lay beside the entrance, one hand pressed against his stomach. Another man was slumped against the guardhouse window. Their weapons were missing.I jumped out of the car before Dante had fully stopped.“Get medical assistance here!” I shouted into my radio. “Lock down the perimeter. Nobody leaves this property.”Dante came around the vehicle, his injured arm held stiffly against his side.“Mara, wait for my men.”“Your men are already here. Some of them are bleeding, and someone has opened your gates for the enemy.”I ran toward the mansion.The doors stood wide open. Glass littered the marble floor, and somewhere upstairs, a woman screamed.I drew my weapon and took the stairs two at a time.“SOFIA! LIA!”No answer.I

    MARA’S POVThe western gate exploded before I reached the staircase.The blast shook the mansion, sending glass raining across the floor. Somewhere below, men shouted over the thunder of gunfire.I tightened my grip on my rifle.“Victor, status!”“Three vehicles inside the perimeter! Our western team is pinned down. They're advancing toward the main building!”“How many men?”“Twenty at least!”I looked toward Dante.He was already reaching for his weapon, his injured side stiff beneath his shirt.“You're staying here,” I told him.He gave me a murderous look.“You have got to stop saying that.”“Then stop giving me reasons to say it.”“Mara, this is my home.”“And I'm trying to keep it from becoming your funeral.”A bullet struck the window beside us.We both dropped.Dante crawled toward the wall, pulled out his phon

    VIVIENNE’S POVThe first thing Rafael did when I entered the safe house was point a gun at my head.I stopped in the doorway.Rain dripped from my hair onto the expensive marble floor. My heels were ruined, my dress was torn, and my cheek still burned from the fight at the hospital.And Rafael Voss looked as though he had been waiting all evening for an excuse to kill me.“Where is she?” he demanded.I swallowed my anger. “Mara escaped.”His expression hardened.“You had one job.”“I had two armed men, a wounded brother, and a former military general who fights like a madwoman! What exactly did you expect?”He stepped closer.“I expected you to deliver her to me.”“And I expected you to keep your promise!”The room fell silent.Rafael lowered his gun slightly.“What promise?”I stared at him in disbelief.“Don't insult me.
