~TIANA'S [POV]~A shrill bullet whizzed right past my face, the deafening crack making my ears ring violently. I clamped both hands over my ears, wincing from the piercing sound. When the ringing finally began to fade, I slowly forced my eyes open, ready to face the danger.The moment I looked ahead, a cold, paralyzing dread gripped my chest. My eyes widened in horror. Demetri was clutching his chest, his face draining of all color.No... please, no.The bullet had hit him. He staggered back a few uneven steps, his boots skidding against the slick floor. Before I could even process the movement, he collapsed, his knees giving out as he fell hard onto the ground.Panic surged through my veins like fire. I rushed toward him, dropping to the floor beside him. My hands shook violently as I grabbed his arm, trying to steady his heavy frame against me. My heart pounded wildly against my ribs, loud and deafening. I couldn't lose him. Not now. Not before I had the chance to tell him every

~DEMETRI'S [POV]~"Ten seconds.""What?" she muttered, confusion momentarily overtaking the terror marring her features."I'm giving you ten seconds to walk away, and maybe I won't hurt you," I laid out my terms with the calm poise of a gentleman.I was dressed like one, after all, so I might as well act the part.She scoffed mockingly, though the bravado didn't quite reach her trembling shoulders. "Spare me? I'm the one holding the loaded gun here! I saw what you just did to that guy. You think I'm going to let you walk away so you can find me later a–and kill me?" Her voice stuttered and cracked near the end, the panic bleeding through her grip."Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." I ignored her completely. My gaze dropped down as I casually tapped the toe of my shoe against the floorboards, trying to shake off the stubborn grey brain matter still hanging onto the leather. I kept counting without missing a beat. "Five, four, three, two, one."My eyes snapped in her direction, locking

~TIANA'S [POV]~"My father tried to backstab Demetri and have him killed," she said, her expression twisting into something dark."But Demetri outsmarted him and instead seized control of half of our family business. My father was furious. He tricked me into coming back home under the guise of safety, and as a way to get back at Demetri, he forced a medical procedure and terminated my pregnancy. With everything thrown to shit, we got divorced a week later.""Married for seven weeks, and then discarded," she breathed out, a single, heavy sigh escaping her lips.A profound wave of sorrow washed over me, completely erasing the fact that I disliked this woman.To lose a child in the middle of a war between the two most vicious men in her life at the time must have been a horrific experience for her.I, for one, had a taste of what a terrible father was like."Sienna, I am so sorry," I whispered, reaching out a hand slightly before pulling it back, unsure if she would welcome the comfort

~MARCUS'S [P.O.V]~Simply sighing, I said nothing in response.I heard the sharp creak of a wooden chair yielding under weight, followed by the steady drag of footsteps approaching my position."What a long night it has been," she murmured, letting out a heavy yawn as she came to a stop directly in front of me. "I'm going to bed, and that means you have to go to sleep too."Before the words fully registered, she forced my head to the side with a firm palm. A sudden, sharp prick stung the skin of my neck.I groaned, a wave of dark dizziness instantly pulling at my vision. What the hell was wrong with this woman and her obsession with fucking needles."Relax, handsome. It's just a normal sedative," she stated, her voice drifting as my surroundings began to spin. "You'll be up by eight a.m. tomorrow morning, then we..."The rest of her sentence blurred into a low, incomprehensible hum as my head dropped forward, darkness claiming my consciousness once again.******~TIANA'S [POV]~Jacob

~Tiana's [POV]~I woke up the next morning from a horrible nightmare, my heart racing as I abruptly sat up in bed. I'd been dreaming about drowning in a massive pool. The terrifying images from the dream clung to my mind like a heavy fog. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and dragged my legs onto the mattress, taking a deep breath to steady my breathing before finally getting out of bed.After freshening up and putting on some clean clothes, I left the comfort of my room and headed straight toward Demetri's quarters. I wondered if he was awake by now, hoping he had managed to get some proper rest. Just as I raised my hand to knock, the door swung open, and I froze right on the spot.Demetri stood on the other side, looking slightly surprised to see me standing there before a warm smile slowly spread across his lips."I was just coming to find you," he said, stepping aside to give me room. "Come in."I stepped into the room, and he closed the door firmly behind me. My eyes immediately scan
