Gabriel POV “This is breaking my heart, probably more than you will ever know but I need time to heal, I need time to be River and then I will have time to fix us” - River says with tears streaming down her face. I know this is as painful for her as it is for me. Maybe more for her. River stands on her tiptoes and plants a small kiss on my nose as she did every day when we woke up. It was our little thing. God, I’m going to miss her so much.“I am sorry Gabe” - She says before she turns around and leaves the apartment. My heart breaks once again. I don’t know how it is possible for it to break some more. She walks out and doesn’t look back. I feel as if I can’t breathe and I feel my dark side taking over. The same way I remember it di

Gabriel POVEveryone was silent in the room. “She had Ally killed” - I add and everyone’s faces twist in anger. I can see their eyes on her. Ally was loved by everyone. Her father was one of my father’s friends. She trained with me and some of my guys. As we all came from mafia families we knew each other. Friendship wasn’t allowed as we were growing up but working together made us a family and everyone loved Ally. She was kind and she treated us as if she was our mother. I feel my heart skip a beat thinking about her. Angelica starts shaking her head. Jason slaps her face and her head turns to the side and her tears keep streaming down her eyes.I walk to her“I tough you better than that” - I whisper in her ear and her eyes focu

Gabriel POVI don’t know how long it’s been since they arrived but we are really drunk. Mel is babbling something about Ethan and how he only cares about work and the kids and barely pays attention to her. “I need to tell you something” - Mike says sitting up and resting his back against the couch. “What is it?” - Mel asks looking at him. My phone starts to ring and I look to see River’s name.I answer the phone making them a signal to shut up.They both look at me as if they were about to burst into a fit of laughter when I put it on speaker and we could hear River talking to someone else. “She butt dialled me” - I say“Shush” - Mel says and that’s

Michael POVI drive there carefully. I know that Gabe will have someone following me from far. Just to keep it safe. He doesn’t trust his own shadow. I take a deep breath and I stop the car in front of two massive golden gates. Talk about showing off money. I don’t know how the cops haven’t gotten all over his ass. He probably does what dad did. Hides behind some corporate bullshit. As I stop the car two men with guns approach me.“I’m here, they’ve seen me” - I say so that Gabe knows what’s happening. I honestly hope this crap works. I really don’t want to get killed today. The two vultures knock on my window and I smile at them showing off my white smile.
