...Rylee POV...I was going absolutely insane. It had been a few hours already since Sienna had left for the underground fight club. I had texted her a bunch of times, hoping to hear anything back. However, I didn't get a single response back from her, which only made my nerves increase. I had a bad feeling about all of this. But I didn't want to stop her from going. I knew there was no point in even trying. Once Sienna got her mind on something, it was impossible to stop her. She would do whatever it took to achieve her mission, even if it meant risking her life. Sienna's look on life is what always scared me the most about her. She never seemed to worry about whether she could be injured or killed. She did whatever she wanted without caring about the risks. I think part of it is related to our condition. While I'm thankful to be alive, Sienna sees it as a weakness. A weakness she wishes she could give away. She hates feeling vulnerable. In fact, just the sheer thought terrifies her

...Hunter POV...Over the past couple of years, I've been working on acquiring more American businesses with the goal of overthrowing the triad. Ever since I became a part of Los Calaveras, I became familiar with all the other mafia organizations. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to take down Sun Yee On. It was one of the few organizations that had no morales. They did whatever it took to get ahead. Whether that meant using people, taking advantage of people, or participating in the truly dark side of the mafia. Sun Yee On was one of the largest organizations participating in sex trafficking and abduction. They were known for their hostile takeovers that secured them access to any and every business their hearts desired. They quickly became one of my biggest competitors, which meant it was up to me to take them down. If I was going to go against Sun Yee On, then I would need an army behind me. In order to do so, I needed to expand my business beyond the reach of Colombia. I needed to

"If you wanted a quickie, all you had to do was ask, firecracker." The man spoke, making me roll my eyes."Why are you here?" I ask, getting straight to the point."The same reason as you, I reckon." He smirks, winking at me. Causing me to roll my eyes at him once again."Why are you following me?" I ask."What makes you assume I'm following you? Just because we're both here doesn't mean I'm following you.""Then why are you here?" I ask, folding my arms over my chest."Isn't it obvious?""Isn't what obvious?" I question back.He begins to step closer to me until my back is up against the door. He leans down and places his head near my neck. I can sense he's about to kiss me, but I don't understand why. I feel him lean into me more. However, I drop down and spin away from him. I twist his arm behind his back, forcing his chest into the tiled wall. "Omph." He remarks."I'll have to admit, firecracker, I never saw that one coming." He remarks. I can sense a smile in his tone. "Why do

...Ace POV...Ever since I told Hunter about Sienna's real identity, he had become cold and distant. No one seemed to know what the reason was either, which was weird. It was as if he had become an entirely different person. Not that Hunter was super outgoing from the beginning, but he grew a lot worse. Instead of checking up on businesses, he started to send messages. These messages were like his calling cards. Everyone was afraid of the Reaper and terrified even to breathe wrong. Hunter had begun to kill mercilessly. There was no rhyme or reason for who he killed. It was almost like a sport for him. Others had begun to speculate, saying that he was seeking revenge. But no one knew for sure. I overheard Gary and Paul, a couple of our fighters, talking in the practice ring about Hunter's new attitude."Did you hear what happened with the Black Dragons?" Gary asked as they were taking a break. I was in my office located outside of the practice ring. The men quite frequently talked out

After several more rounds, we all fall back, panting."Well, that was unexpected." Valerie says, ending the silence. "Agreed." Shanyuan remarks, standing up to grab his pants from the floor."However, we need to get down to business." Shanyuan remarks, suddenly turning serious.Val immediately stands up and waltzes in his direction."Sit down and get dressed." Shanyuan commands in a firm tone.It's clear our time of distractions has run out."No more distractions. I'm here for serious matters. Now, you will either listen, or I can go back to the Triad and tell them to remove the Industrial Guild from the Triad effective immediately." Shanyuan remarks, leaving no room for question.Both Valerie and I nod our heads and quickly get dressed.Shanyuan sits at my seat behind my desk as Valerie takes the seat opposite him. I look at him with a raised brow wondering why he's in my chair, when I feel Val tap my leg. I look at her and watch as she signals me to sit down and not make a scene. I
