CHARLES' POVI climbed into the back of the black SUV and nodded to the three bodyguards the security firm had sent. Two of them sat in the front seat while the third sat next to me in the back. They were all big men with serious faces and the kind of build that said they knew how to handle themselves in a fight."We're heading to Memorial Hospital," I told the driver. "My daughter and grandson are there.""Yes sir," the driver said. He pulled out of the hotel parking lot and onto the main street. Traffic was heavy for this time of evening but we were moving steadily.I pulled out my phone and checked the address Annabella had sent me. Memorial Hospital was about thirty minutes away depending on traffic. I hoped John was doing okay. Annabella had sounded so scared on the phone when she told me he had been shot. I couldn't imagine what she was going through right now. First Daniel had put her through hell. Then Vincent had kidnapped Peter. And now John was in surgery fighting for his l

CHARLES'S POVThe first shot hit the ground near their feet sending up sparks from the asphalt. Both men dove behind the sedan for cover. I fired again hitting the sedan's front tire. It exploded with a loud bang and the car dropped several inches on that side."Come on," I muttered while climbing over the center console into the driver's seat. The dead driver's body was heavy and awkward. I had to shove him to the side to get past. His blood was everywhere. On the seats. On the steering wheel. On my hands.I checked the ignition. The key was still there. I turned it and the engine made a horrible grinding noise but didn't start. Smoke was still pouring from under the hood. Whatever damage the gunfire had done it was too much.More gunshots. Bullets punched through the back window spraying me with glass. I ducked down low and fired back blindly. Two shots left.I needed a new plan. The SUV was dead. I couldn't stay here. They would just walk up and shoot me through the windows. I had

MIA'S POVFarok and the other men grabbed Daniel's unconscious body before he could hit the ground. His head lolled to the side and his arms hung limp. The syringe was still sticking out of his arm until Farok pulled it free and tossed it aside."Get him in the van," Farok ordered. "Now."Two of the men in dark clothes lifted Daniel by his shoulders while a third grabbed his legs. They moved quickly carrying him across the cracked parking lot toward the waiting van. I stood there watching and feeling like I should do something but not knowing what. This was what I wanted wasn't it? Daniel being caught. Daniel finally paying for what he did to me.So why did I feel sick watching them haul his body around like he was already dead?"Move," Farok said to me while grabbing my arm. His grip was tight enough to hurt. "We need to go."He pulled me toward the van and I stumbled trying to keep up. My legs still felt weak from the poison. Every step took more energy than it should have. The men

Vincent's POVI set the knife back down on the table. Daniel's eyes followed the movement with the kind of focus only fear could produce. His whole body was tense against the chains waiting for pain that hadn't come yet.But I wasn't going to start with physical torture. That would be too easy. Too quick. Daniel needed to destroy himself first before I destroyed what was left."Fidel," I said without taking my eyes off Daniel. "Bring the equipment."Fidel nodded and left the room. I could hear his footsteps echoing down the hallway. Daniel watched me with confusion mixing in with the fear on his face."What are you doing?" he asked. His voice was getting stronger as the drugs wore off but it still had a tremor in it. "What equipment?""You'll see," I said.I walked over to where Mia was sitting. She looked terrible. Her skin was gray and she was breathing too hard. The poison was still working its way through her system. I would need to get her proper medical care soon or she might ac

MIA'S POVI couldn't stay quiet anymore. Not after everything Daniel had done. Not after hearing him confess to murdering Vincent's parents like it was just another business decision."Tell them about the poison," I said. My voice came out weak but I forced the words anyway. "Tell them how you poisoned Annabella and Peter."Everyone in the room turned to look at me. Vincent's eyes narrowed. Daniel's face went pale and then red with anger."What are you talking about?" Vincent asked while stepping closer to me."He poisoned them," I said. "Before they disappeared. He gave them something to make them weak so they couldn't fight back or try to escape. That's why Peter was so out of it when you found him. That's why Annabella has been sick."Daniel's jaw clenched. "Shut up Mia. You don't know what you're talking about.""I know exactly what I'm talking about," I shot back. "I was there when you planned it. I heard you on the phone ordering the drugs. You said you needed something that wou
