Don Mateo's POV.

Ever since I offered Amelia the contract, I'd noticed the unsettling fear surrounding her.

She moved like she was scared of me.

Usually, that would never bother me, since everyone who worked with me feared me. But for Amelia, it was different.

The last thing I wanted was for her to be scared of me. I wanted her to feel comfortable around me, for reasons I found too ashamed to admit.

    Harry's POVShe was the first I saw, wrapped in a coat and waiting for me. Her worried eyes had me thinking if she stayed up all night waiting.I felt terrible, wondering if the kids were safe, and I just stood there, staring at her.However, she heaved a sigh, running towards me. I didn't erase her memory just so she'd leave, but I was startled to find her."You came late," she whispered in a shaky tone as she stretched her hand towards her with a sad smile."You kept me waiting," she furthered, but I was staring at her hand, afraid to hold it because I'd break it.However, I walked past her, as if she never existed. I'd be placing a call to Dad to pick her up."You don't just walk away without apologizing!" She snapped, but then I didn't listen and just stepped inside."Harry!" She called, and when I almost took the stairs, she obstructed my path."And the damage? Who the fuck is paying for it?""Stop trying, Freya. Leaving is the best option right now," I coldly responded, but she

    RosieI gasped at Austin harsh line and before I could even blink or give a response, these two broke into a fight."Stop!!!" I screamed but neither of them were listening and I just realized I was with a gun.I pointed it at them both but they were tumbling on each other with Damien pushing him hard.I didn't even know who to shoot and even when I shot the gun up, they didn't stop.Angrily, while they had yanked up, I aimed at them both and the bullet flies between them but this time, it snap pass damien's ear, giving him a signature similar to that of Austin."Both of you!!! Stop it!" I screamed roaring and almost immediately, they stopped but their hands were holding their collars.Damien hadn't even noticed his ear was bleeding."What is wrong with you! Is this the time to fight!! When we have an enemy we need to conquer!""I'm fighting him off you!" Damien spat glaring at me."Did I ask you for that!"

    Rosie"You don't get to threaten me because you know nothing!" Damien fires but I yelled to an extent that everything here began to viberate.Even I was terrified as both men turned to look at me. Suddenly, the building was trembling and I had to ask myself if I truly caused this without knowing it."If you both want to fight and kill yourself! Take me out of here first because right now! We are trapped and the building might collapse!!""what?" Austin mused and just after that exclamation, a rock almost dropped on him if Damien hadn't pulled him away.I can tell he has his heart in mouth as he kept looking at Damien like a savior."I just don't want anything to kill you except me!"Not him and his lines."This isn't the right time" I pointed out trying to avoid the concrete walls that were dropping now.Damien pushed Austin back as he runs to meet me at the door."What really happened here?" I asked but he seems

    RosieI felt the heat of Austin's glare, his frustration and anger."Rather than ranting your frustration on me, why don't you get to work?" he growled, his voice low and rough.I gawped at him with a racing heart as I heaved a sigh.I thought he'd hand over the gun to me, let me take care of myself.But instead, he swayed behind me, pushing the gun forward and clasping my hand together on it.The metal felt cold and heavy, but his touch was warm and commanding."Austin..." I called wanting to pull out of his hold but he quickly swirled me around.No instructions needed, and we moved as one.Bullets flew, and I felt the recoil of the gun, but it was like we were dancing.A deadly, beautiful dance where the preys were the targets, and we were the partners.Awkward.His chest was pressed against my back, his breath hot on my neck, guiding and directing me.His left hand w

    RosieI crawled towards the front seat with my fingers beating on the leather steering seat.Fixed eyes on the dark maw of the cave entrance and I can tell being given reference to a hawk watching its prey will suit this moment.The trees around them seemed to loom closer than expected, their branches creaking in the wind like skeletal fingers, ready to poke at anything.The air had this eerie silence that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.Damien had been gone for what felt like an eternity. I’d expected him to be back by now, his sharp jawline which will set in that confident smirk of his, his piercing eyes glinting with the satisfaction of a job well done. But there was nothing, no sound, no movement, no sign of life.My mind began to raced and it was difficult not to think of any worse case scenario.What if the guy they were interrogating was more dangerous than they thought? What if he had an accomplice? What if… what if… what if…The silence was suffocating me

    Harry's POV"Alright, boys, it's late, time for bed," I interrupted, moving to grab Chris, who seemed exhausted from explaining."Yes, Harry," the chorus, even though with a crackle. Chris was the first to run to the bedroom, but Colton was still in the living room with me.His fingers prickled his

    Rosie's POVI let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. “You gave me a chance to speak. I… I didn’t think they’d actually listen.”He gave a half‑smile, the kind that hinted at the boy I’d first met in the garden, before al

    Damien’s POVFor a moment, the manor felt less like a prison and more like a stage set for the performance of a lifetime.We descended the staircase together.As we reached the main hall, the council members began to file in, their faces of curiosity and veiled hostility. I could feel their eyes on

    RosieOddly enough, I never told him how much his silence meant, how his steady gaze kept me from falling apart.“—and then he told me we could rewrite the whole narrative,” I finished, breathless, waiting for his reaction.He gave a soft chuckle, the sound
