Bailey's legs gave out the moment Carlos said those words. She slid down the wall and sat on the cold floor, her whole body shaking.Even Carlos. Even the brother who always fixed her mess, who always found a way to make things okay, couldn't help her this time. That scared her more than anything.Carlos stood outside the door, looking at her through the small window. He didn't know what to say anymore. He had said the same things to her so many times before."Why, Bailey?" he asked, his voice tired. "Why can't you just behave? Just once? Why does everything always turn into a disaster with you?"Bailey didn't answer. She just kept crying, loud and broken, her hands covering her face. Her makeup ran down her cheeks in black streaks, mixing with her tears.Carlos heard footsteps behind him. He turned and saw Marcus and Pascal hurrying down the hallway toward him.Marcus slowed down first. He looked at Carlos's face and saw his red eyes. Carlos never let anyone see him like this, not ev

Maxton's hands tightened under the table, his eyes fixed on Carlos kneeling on the floor in front of him. In all the years Carlos had served as his right hand, through countless dangerous missions, through betrayals and battles and everything in between, Maxton had never once seen him drop to his knees like this. Not for anyone or anything.Raina couldn't sit still any longer. Her eyes were already stinging with tears as she pushed back her chair and walked over to Carlos, gently placing a hand on his shoulder."Carlos, please get up," she said softly. "Sit down and let's talk about this properly, we are a family here."Maxton's expression shifted slightly, the hard edge in his eyes easing just a little. Whatever anger had been simmering beneath his calm exterior seemed to soften at the sight of Carlos in such a state.Carlos slowly rose to his feet, his legs wobbling from the force with which his knees had struck the floor. Pascal moved quickly, stepping in to steady him, guiding hi

Carlos yanked a shirt over his head and rushed out into the hallway, Marcus already moving quickly ahead of him, his footsteps echoing loudly against the marble floor of the villa's second level."Tell me exactly what happened," Carlos demanded, his voice tight with urgency as he fell into step beside his younger brother. "Start from the beginning. Don't leave anything out, Marcus. I need to know everything before we get there."Marcus's breathing was still uneven from running, but he forced himself to explain as clearly as he could while they hurried down the corridor, past startled maids who quickly pressed themselves against the walls to let them pass."After you and Boss agreed to let her go, I went straight to the basement and got her out myself," Marcus said, his words coming out fast. "She was so happy, Carlos. Crying, hugging me so tight I could barely breathe, saying she couldn't believe she was actually getting a second chance. I hadn't seen her smile like that in months.""

Raina woke up to the sound of loud voices and hurried footsteps somewhere outside the villa. She blinked against the early morning light, reaching over instinctively to feel for Maxton beside her, but her hand met only cold, empty sheets.She sat up quickly and her heart was already starting to race. "Maxton?"She got no response in return, which meant he wasn't around.She climbed out of bed, wrapping her arms around herself against the morning chill, and made her way toward the door. The commotion outside grew louder the closer she got to the staircase, voices shouting instructions, the sound of boots moving quickly across the courtyard below.By the time she reached the bottom of the stairs, she spotted Ava standing near the front window, peering out anxiously, her whole body tense.Raina walked up quietly and tapped her on the shoulder. Ava jumped, letting out a small startled gasp before spinning around."Madam! You scared me," Ava said, pressing a hand to her chest."Sorry," Ra
