When they came downstairs, Michael didn't try to stop them.

He simply watched Raina walk down the stairs with Maxton trailing closely behind her. His eyes moved over her face with the quiet emotions of a father who had been given a second chance at a life he thought he’d lost.

It was like he was memorizing every detail, trying to reconcile the daughter he had once known with the woman standing before him now.

"Rest well," he said softly.

Raina stopped at the bottom of the stairs, looking at hi

    Pascal drove like the road owed him something and his grip on the steering wheel was extremely tight as he kept looking at the back through the rearview mirror every few minutes.Every red light and slow car in front of them made Raina's chest tighten another notch. She sat in the back with Maxton's head still in her lap, one hand pressed flat against his chest, counting his breaths like each one was a small gift she was terrified of losing."Almost there," Pascal said from the front, more to himself than anyone else.Carlos said nothing, he just watched Maxton's face the whole ride, his own jaw tight, his hands resting on his knees with a stillness that only people who had seen the worst kind of things could manage.When the hospital finally came into view, Raina let out a breath she felt like she had been holding since the warehouse.There were already doctors and nurses waiting outside with a stretcher, which meant Carlos had made calls during the drive without her even noticing.

    “You bitch!” After finally recovering from the shock of the slap, Bailey yelled angrily at Raina.“That's enough, Bailey!” Carlos angrily reprimanded her with a deep frown.Raina just acted like she didn't hear what Bailey said and just looked ahead without a word.Carlos could only sigh and start the car. The drive to the woods felt like the longest hour of Raina's life.She sat in the back seat with her hands clasped tightly on her lap, her knee bouncing and her eyes fixed on the road ahead like staring hard enough would somehow make the car go faster. She didn't talk and nobody else did either. The only sounds were the engine, the tires on the road, and the occasional crackle of someone's radio up front.She kept replaying Maxton's voice in her head. The way he said her name and how calm he sounded, too calm, like he was working very hard to keep it that way. She didn't know whether to be relieved or terrified, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.When the cars finally rolled to

    “Carlos, please meet the doctor and handle all the necessary papers” Raina said with a hoarse voice while still holding Angelo in her arms.Carlos nodded and walked with the Doctor to the other end of the hallway.“Do you think he understands?” Lisa suddenly asked from the side while looking at the sleeping Angelo.“Probably not…toddlers are dumb as fuck, so he probably doesn't understand” Bailey rolled her eyes and said without any emotion.Marcus angrily glared at her and she frowned with a confused expression. “What? Why are you giving me that look?” She asked him and this time, it was her friend Lisa that glared at her.Raina was pissed off but she wasn't in the mood to deal with Bailey's insensitive actions.“ That little boy just lost his father and he is now an orphan, that's something I expect you to know how painful it is” Pascal said from the side and his voice was cold.“You expect me to know? Why don't you just call me an orphan directly!” Bailey suddenly raised her voice

    Deep in the woods, far from any main road, stood an old, abandoned building, its walls covered in thick moss, its windows boarded up with rotting wood that had long since given up trying to keep out the weather. Inside one of the back rooms, Maxton sat on a cold metal chair, his wrists bound tightly behind him with thick rope, two of Evan's men standing guard by the door, guns slung casually over their shoulders like they had no real concerns about him trying anything.His mind wasn't at peace. Not even close.He kept replaying the image of Xander in his head, over and over, like a wound he couldn't stop picking at. The blood soaking through his friend's shirt. The pale, gray color his face had turned. The way his eyes kept fluttering shut despite his clear effort to stay conscious as the men loaded him into the car to rush him to the hospital. Maxton had seen enough wounds in his lifetime, more than most men ever would, to know exactly what that kind of injury usually meant. Still,

    The mocking voice still hung in the air when Raina's whole body went rigid with fury. Her hands curled into tight fists at her sides, her grief from moments ago twisting instantly into something hot and dangerous, burning away the tears that had been falling just seconds before."You," she hissed into the phone, her voice shaking with barely controlled rage. "You won't get a good death, Evan. You're going to beg for it. You're going to pray for death and it still won't come for you. I'll make sure of that myself."Around her, everyone listening to the call wore the exact same expression, dark, simmering hatred burning behind their eyes. Carlos's jaw was clenched so tight a muscle ticked beneath his cheek. Pascal's hands had curled into fists at his sides, his bandaged head not stopping him from looking ready to commit murder. Even Marcus, still nursing his injured leg, leaned forward like he wanted nothing more than to reach through the phone and strangle the man on the other end wit

    The moment the doctor finished speaking, the hallway fell into a heavy, suffocating silence. Nobody moved or spoke.. . It was like the air itself had gone still, waiting.Raina felt her chest cave in. The tears she had been trying so hard to hold back finally broke free, streaming down her face in a steady, silent flood. She pulled Angelo closer against her chest, hugging him so tightly that the little boy let out a small, confused whimper, sensing something was terribly wrong even if he didn't fully understand what.She turned to Carlos, her voice trembling but firm. "I'll take him in.""Raina…" Carlos started, his own eyes slightly red and tired."I'll take him," she repeated, already stepping toward the doors.Bailey's frown deepened instantly, stepping forward to block her path. "The doctor said Xander asked for his son. Not for you."Raina didn't even bother answering her. She simply walked past Bailey, shouldering past her without a second glance, and pushed through the heavy do

    Raina felt her heart hammering against her ribs, the rhythm was so fast that it actually started to hurt. Her skin was still burning red from what she had seen in the garden. Seeing Carlos and Pascal, two handsome and fit men, kissing with that kind of hunger had left her brain in a complete scram

    “Why can't you just love me! Is there anything that I am lacking?” Xander asked and his eyes reddened with the heartache he was feeling.He slowly removed his hand from his jacket and slowly shook his head.“You really thought I was going to hurt you? The fear in your eyes broke me more than your r

    Nobody moved after the shot.The courtyard stayed exactly as it was with people frozen where they stood and the sound of the gunshot still hanging in the morning air like it hadn't fully decided to leave yet. Maxwell was on the ground and the light was the same and the birds somewhere beyond the wa
