Elisa There was a forced smile on my face as I looked at Collin. I was trying to be very calm right now. After taking a deep breath, I got up from my seat and walked to him with my hands on my hips. I looked at him with a stiff smile on my face. “Tell me again?” I sighed. “There were mics around the ranch.” he cleared his throat looking at me. “We took all of them down.” He looked at his feet. “No,” I shook my head, “We have been here for almost two days and you are telling me now that someone was listening.” I laughed, “Collin?” I called his name. “Look me in the eye.” I clench my teeth. “I’m sorry,” “Oh, you should,” I spoke behind my teeth with a small laugh. "I'm sick of this shit. I can't catch a break." I whispered to myself. “I was going to do a sweep, but Dario told me to focus on the digging and there was - “ “Hmmm,” I nodded. I began pacing around. Thinking. I held my hands on my hips again and heaved. I hate having headaches. I hate things that give me headaches.

Filip I groaned and tried to call Ruby’s number again and again, but there was no answer. Delta and Solomon were useless; they couldn’t tell me how many men were at the ranch. I thought it was a good plan, but all I did was make Elisa aware. She found out about the hidden audios and she had Ruby. She was trying to torture me, and it was working. I was outside of Arnold’s house taking a moment. Everything around me seemed to move fast and slow. I was feeling useless. The bitch was pissing me off. Everything had all gone to shit. Ace was still unreachable and we do not know if the plane made it or not. My grandfather was a little extreme. They had to drop in the Indian Ocean. Make it look like a crash. A crush in the Indian fucking ocean like it was as simple as clicking my fingers. I don't even want to know how he came up with such and absurd plan. Hs plan could backfire. They could all be dead but I did not want to go there yet. Going there would make it real and I did not want to

Matt Elisa has won. I give up. I was beaten. Down. Defeated. I was ready to accept my fate, but she has some crazy plans. She was killing off people, but she kept me alive. For what exactly? That question was driving me nuts. She hated me. She wanted to murder me. She made that very clear. She was keeping me alive for something far worse. i could feel it. I was the very core of the family she hated. I was a Torane. I had accepted it. Arnold proved it, so I couldn't deny it. I wanted them dead, but we now had a common enemy. Elisa. She had to be stopped. I saw the door open and watched Diya walk in with her shoulders hunched. My eye was still swollen but I could open it a little. She walked to the bed they had laid me. She was too quiet. “Oh, you are up,” she cleared her throat and quickly turned away from me. “Yeah,” my voice sounded weak. Raspy. “Elisa wants me to clean you up,” she said, and I craned my head. She still had her back on me. She was hiding her face from me. I

Ace It’s been rough. I made it back home. I wish it was at my house, but I had to be taken to my grandfather’s house. There was help waiting for us when we arrived and everyone was taken care of. They also needed rest. “Why are you not resting?” Celeste asked me. “I don’t need to be babied. I have to save my family.” “You won’t do them much good like that,” she added, looking at me. “I know you want to get them back, but can you at least rest? I don’t know,” she shrugged at me. “I will rest once I get my family back,” I said, walking past her. I went to my grandfather’s office. He was with Nico. They were also telling me to rest and get my strength back. There was no time for such nonsense. I was going to sleep and rest when I get my family back. “Ace, shouldn’t you be resting?” Nico asked, and my grandfather looked up at me. “I’m fine. Where is Filip?” I asked. I hadn’t seen him since we arrived. “Sit with us,” my grandfather spoke. I dragged my feet and sat on the empty

Ace “Do as I say and everything will be fine.” “But-” Celeste protested, but I looked at her. “I don’t have time for this,” I whisper, shouted with a groan. Celeste rushed beside me and I pushed her away. “I’m fine. I'm not sick.” “You are not fine. You are bleeding. It's important that you take it easy." “Don’t tell me what to do. You are not my mother,” I groaned again. “I - I’m sorry. I was trying to help.” “You can help me by driving us out of here. I need to go save my family,” I say, composing myself and standing straight. “Maybe we can wait for Filip to come back and -“ I glared at her as she took a step back, “I can’t, Ace. This is suicide.” “Then it will be worth it. Stop wasting my time and move.” I ordered, and she nodded but remained standing. We moved out of the house, and I dragged her. There was no time for me to waste waiting for Filip. I can do this myself. I was taking my ranch back. I'm the one who was going to get my family back. I was going to kill Eli
