Semua Bab Twisting Fate: Bab 91 - Bab 100

“Enzo.” His name felt like poison in my mouth.I took stock of what was going on. We were outnumbered completely. These were his segugi and from the looks of it, it was almost all of them. Keenan and Lec were on their knees, two guns trained on both of them. They had hoods over their heads. Slowly, my eyes caught Marek’s. He was on his knees near Enzo. At least four guns on him but they left his head free.“Put the gun down, sorellina. Unless you want me to kill one of your friends.”My gun didn’t move. “Bullshit, Enzo. You don’t care.”Enzo threw his head back and laughed. “You’re right. I don’t.”He waved his hand and one of his guys shot Marek from behind. A scream bubbled up but I clenched my teeth. Dropping my gun, I put up hands keeping my eyes on Marek as he breathed through the shot. Enzo continued to laugh, shaking his head.“And here I thought you had no weaknesses. It seems the Baranov family has made you weak.”I swallowed, pure and vibrant frustration flowing through me.

“Rosaria!”I opened up my eyes and realized I had fallen asleep. Kamilia was crouched down, her hand on my cheek. Damir was behind her, looking worriedly down at me. Closing my eyes again, I leaned into her touch.“Hey…” My voice was quiet.“You…I can’t…” Kamilia sounded like she was crying.I opened up my eyes to find just that. The woman who I’d never seen cry or even bat an eyelash at anything. She had tears falling down her face. Lifting up my hand, I brushed them away.“Don’t…cry. I’m n-not worth i-it. Too…much trouble.”Kamilia chuckled quietly. “You are far too much trouble. Come on. Let’s get you fixed up.”Damir stepped up and lifted me up. I was surprised. He was such a slim guy with glasses but he didn’t seem to have an issue with me. They walked to a waiting car and I was placed gently into the back seat.“Mrs. Baranov!”Keenan was sitting in the back seat and helped Damir pull me into the seat. The door shut behind me and I let my head rest in Keenan’s lap.“I’m sorry. Ju

When Keenan pulled into the underground parking lot, I felt like I could breathe a sigh of relief. It was home. It felt like home. Knowing Marek wasn’t there didn’t make it feel like a victory but there was still something to coming back to where we lived together. Keenan helped me out of the car and we made our way over to the elevators.“Can you do me a favor?” I handed him his phone back.“Of course.”I smiled at his immediate reply. “There is a package coming for me in a few minutes. Can you wait at the front desk for it? I’m going to head up to the penthouse. When you get it, just come up and knock. I’ll come down and meet with this asshole.”“Sure, Atamansha. Anything else?”“Some food? Maybe India? I’m starving. If I have to look at Jell-O within the next ten years, I think I will puke.”Keenan laughed and nodded. “Done.”I stepped into the elevator that took me up to the penthouse and Keenan moved to the one that would take him to the front desk. The doors shut and I sighed. L

I stood under the stream of the shower. It was nice they didn’t turn off the water even though no one lived here. Or maybe the guys requested the water to be turned back on. Still, I was glad that I hadn’t needed to walk through the hall covered in blood. Enzo’s guy had broken about thirty minutes ago but I’d fallen too deep.Zann, Lec, and Boris had all left. Keenan stayed, his head down as he leaned against the wall. After their outburst, I wasn’t interrupted again. Not until Keenan informed me that the guy was already dead. Frankly, the difference in length of time alive between having them laying down and hanging was so different that it surprising. Still, he hung on to consciousness longer than I thought he would.Scrubbing my skin, I knew there wasn’t any blood or guts left but I still scrubbed. The madness was still encompassing me. I’d gone too far. I needed Marek. I needed him to pull me back. Maybe this was better though. Maybe this would get me through saving him.I’d gotte

Lorenzo was leaning back in his wheelchair, a headset on his face while he had a controller in his hands. We were parked just out of sight of the building. Pulling out one of two drones that Lorenzo brought, he did some recon for us before we made a fool of ourselves by going in blind.The whirl of the drone sounded and Keenan opened the door, catching it as it came down. It shut off as Keenan brought it back inside and Lorenzo took off his headset. Taking a deep breath, he rubbed his eyes for a second.“I don’t know how you do that. I tried it once and I thought I was going to throw up.” I shook my head.“It takes some getting used to but you do.”Keenan set the drone down into the foam it came from originally. “What are we looking at?”“Honestly, I think they were relying on us not finding it than us finding it and holding us back.”“So security is lax.”Lorenzo nodded. “Really, it’s the most lax I’ve ever seem while holding someone as important as Marek Baranov.”My eyes widened. “
