Brandi“Are you sure it’s okay for me to come over?” I whisper again.“I already told you it’s fine. Mom loves company, and Papi doesn’t care what I do, as long as you’re not a boy,” she replies with a big grin. I smile shyly and nod. It’s only been a week since we became friends, but when I’m with her, I can push everything that’s happening with Colin out of my head.“Is that your house?!” she exclaims as the gate opens. My chest sinks just looking at it. I wish I didn’t have to come here. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, preparing myself to enter that house. But today, I’m not as sad because I’ll be with Gianna for the next two days, where Colin can’t touch me. I’ll pick up some clothes and get out of here before he gets home from practice.“It’s bigger than mine—wow,” she says as the car comes to a stop.“I’ll be right back. I’ll grab some clothes and tell my aunt I’m staying with you and your family for the weekend,” I say.“Do you want me to come in?”“No!” I answer immedia

GioI stand, pull my gun from my waist, and make my way over to him, grabbing him by the collar.“Whoa, whoa, calm down. I thought you’d be happy to see me,” he says.“Where is she?” I growl as I press the gun to his temple.“Right now?” He tilts his head to the side.“She’s probably taking a swim.”“I’m not joking. Your brains will be on my carpet if you don’t tell me where the fuck Fenice is.”“If you kill me, how will you find her?”I close my eyes and think about it for a moment. I’ve searched for months and turned up nothing. The best detectives couldn’t find her. Not even calling in favors from my government buddies turned up anything fruitful. So Cole is my best bet for finding her since he knows where she is.I take a deep breath, release his collar, and pull the gun from his head. I make my way behind my desk, set my gun down so it’s still in plain sight, and sit.“What do you want?” I know he didn’t just show up here out of the kindness of his heart to tell me where she is. H

GioHolding her in my arms after so long feels surreal. After months of looking, I started to think I’d never find her—or that it wouldn’t be until my child had grown. Well, children, since she’s having twins. I smile.One child with her is a dream come true—creating life with the woman I love. I never expected she’d be having twins. I’m so happy I could burst. Not only do I have my woman back in my arms, but we’re having not one but two babies, and Gianna is finally on board. That part matters less to me, but I know how important it is to Fenice.I pull away and look at her as she sits before me, her belly still exposed. My heart feels so whole.“Can we be together? She’s okay with it?” she whispers.“You heard her yourself. Or do I need to call her back?”She shakes her head as her eyes water.“Stop crying. I am yours, and you are mine forever,” I say, wiping the tears from her cheeks.“The rest of our lives, starting today. So what do you want to do? Where do you want to go? Switzer

GioRing, ring, ring.I groan at the sound of the phone ringing. I open my eyes and glance at the clock—it’s nine in the morning. It’s probably Jillian calling. I took the month off work after we arrived two days ago. I’ve missed the last three months of taking care of her and bonding with the twins, so I want to focus on that over the next couple of months. I left Jillian a message to that effect, and I’m sure she’s calling to chew me out now. Unfortunately for her, I’m not in the mood to get cursed at. I grab my phone, about to end the call, when I see Gia’s name. She rarely calls this early, so something must be up.“Hey, sweetie, is something wrong?”“Everything’s great. I’m getting married, my best friend is home, and I have siblings on the way. I’m so excited!”“That’s great, sweetie, but why are you calling this early?”“Oh, I was trying to call B, but she’s not picking up. I know today’s a hard day for her. Are you at the cemetery with her?”“No, we’re home. Why would we—” I gl

ColeI rub the last of the rope on the pocket knife I always carry in my boots. Dad’s people took my gun and my phone, but fortunately for me, they didn’t find my knife—or who knows how long I’d be stuck here. My hands and legs finally free, I stand and head over to the window, peering out into the woodland growing darker with each second. Two days have passed since I’ve been locked in this room. The woman who knocked me out comes here once a day after nightfall to bring me food and water. I don’t know what Dad’s planning to do with me, so I should get out of here and get help from William and Gio to free Uncle Sly. They’re probably wondering where I am, but since William told me to watch and not make trouble, I doubt they’ll figure out I’m here.I head up the steps, looking for the handle, but find nothing. I run my hand over the door and feel nothing but a smooth surface. Shit—it’s like I feared. It only opens from the outside, which means I’ll have to wait until she shows up. She sh
