MARAāS POVThe message was still glowing on Victorās phone when I finished loading my weapon.Rafaelās 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 Victorās shoulder.āHow many men?ā Dante asked.āTwo vehicles confirmed on the road,ā Victor replied. āOur surveillance team believes there are more behind them. We lost contact with the men stationed at the southern entrance five minutes ago.āDante reached for his jacket.āIām going.āāNo,ā I said.His eyes shifted to mine. āMara.āāYouāre injured. You can barely lift your left arm without wincing.āāAnd you think Iāll stay here while Rafael takes another piece of my empire?āāI think youāll stay alive long enough to take it back.āFor a moment, neither of us spoke.Victor sudden

MARAāS POVThe 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.āOpen it,ā 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 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.āThey're safe,ā he whispered.āFor now.āHe heard the warning in my voice.I didn't want to frighten the girls, so I kissed their foreheads and forced a smile.āYour father and I need to take care of something. Victor will stay with you, and you'll remai

MARAāS 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.āGet medical assistance here!ā I shouted into my radio. āLock down the perimeter. Nobody leaves this property.āDante came around the vehicle, his injured arm held stiffly against his side.āMara, wait for my men.āāYour men are already here. Some of them are bleeding, and someone has opened your gates for the enemy.āI 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.āSOFIA! LIA!āNo answer.I

MARAāS 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.āVictor, status!āāThree vehicles inside the perimeter! Our western team is pinned down. They're advancing toward the main building!āāHow many men?āāTwenty at least!āI looked toward Dante.He was already reaching for his weapon, his injured side stiff beneath his shirt.āYou're staying here,ā I told him.He gave me a murderous look.āYou have got to stop saying that.āāThen stop giving me reasons to say it.āāMara, this is my home.āāAnd I'm trying to keep it from becoming your funeral.āA bullet struck the window beside us.We both dropped.Dante crawled toward the wall, pulled out his phon

VIVIENNEāS 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.āWhere is she?ā he demanded.I swallowed my anger. āMara escaped.āHis expression hardened.āYou had one job.āāI had two armed men, a wounded brother, and a former military general who fights like a madwoman! What exactly did you expect?āHe stepped closer.āI expected you to deliver her to me.āāAnd I expected you to keep your promise!āThe room fell silent.Rafael lowered his gun slightly.āWhat promise?āI stared at him in disbelief.āDon't insult me.

MARAāS POVThe photograph was still glowing on my phone when I reached the abandoned hospital.Dante was on his knees, blood staining his shirt. Vivienne stood behind him with a gun pressed against his head, wearing the satisfied expression of a woman who believed she had finally won.Come alone, Mara. Or Dante dies next.I read the message one last time before slipping my phone into my pocket.Vivienne wanted me frightened.Rafael wanted me dead.Unfortunately for both of them, I had spent years learning how to function when fear threatened to consume every sensible thought in my head.I approached the hospital through the rear entrance, keeping to the shadows. Victor's men were positioned outside, waiting for my signal. I had instructed them not to enter unless they heard three shots.I wasn't about to let Rafael turn Dante into a casualty of a rescue operation.Inside, the building smel
