The Race

Michael’s POVThe forest had become a war zone. I could hear screams, gunfire, the shouts of men giving orders, and in the middle of it all, the rapid thudding of my own heartbeat.Henry was clinging to me, his small body pressed against mine, shaking, not sobbing, not panicked, just trembling. I could feel the tension in his limbs, the sharp, brittle fear that tried to creep up from his chest. He wasn’t crying because he didn’t want to show weakness and I understood. He was Fernando’s son, and even at six, he was already carrying himself like a man, nut I knew that the weight of all this would crush him if I let it.“Michael?” His voice shook ever so slightly, but he was trying to sound steady.“I’ve got you, champ, I’ve got you,” I whispered, pressing him closer against my chest. My legs were on fire, blood soaking through my pants, each step sending hits of pain straight up my thigh, but I couldn’t stop, not when Henry was in my arms.Ashley was crouched beside us, firing caref

Running through the woods

Michael’s POVThe forest didn’t feel like a forest anymore. It felt like a maze built to swallow us whole and stretch so far we wouldn’t be able to get to our destination.Branches clawed at my arms as we pushed through the trees. Every step I took sent a violent pulse of pain through my leg, hot and sharp and blinding. My thigh felt like it was splitting open again, and I knew the bleeding hadn’t stopped. I could feel the warmth soaking into my sock but I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.Behind us, in the distance, the gunfire still echoed with sharp cracks cutting through the night air. Marlo’s men and Rafael’s men were still tearing each other apart and when that stopped, they would come for us.We had to put a lot of distance between us to make sure we were on the safe side.Henry stumbled beside me, his small hand locked tightly in mine. Ashley held his other hand, keeping him steady as we ran. Nick was a few steps ahead, scanning the darkness, listening for movement.“Michael, we need t

Tracking Unit

Marlo’s POVThe forest smelled of death and failures but it was not mine. It belonged to the arrogant idiot who thought he could gain the upper hand over me just because of Fernando’s absence.Bodies were scattered across the ground like discarded pieces on a chessboard. Smoke drifted lazily between the trees, illuminated by the light coming from our car headlights.The entire place was torn apart with dirt kicked up by boots, blood soaking into the ground and empty bullet shells glittering faintly under the moonlight.Tonight had served as a challenge.I stepped forward slowly, my shoes crunching over broken branches and debris.“Clear the perimeter,” I ordered calmly.My men moved immediately, sweeping the area, checking pulses, disarming the wounded. A few of Rafael’s men were still groaning and one foolishly tried to reach for his weapon.He didn’t get the chance because a single shot silenced him.Anabelle walked beside me, her expression cold and calculating as she surveyed the

Our Hero

Michael’s POVEvery step toward the open road felt like we were walking toward either salvation or execution.Nick moved slightly ahead of us, clearing the way, his movements sharp and controlled despite the exhaustion. Ashley walked beside Henry, her hand wrapped tightly around his, guiding him over roots and fallen branches. I stayed slightly behind them now, not because I wanted to but because my leg wouldn’t allow anything else.We broke through the last wall of trees and stumbled onto the highway. The sudden openness felt surreal after the suffocating density of the woods. The road looked wide and empty with no headlights of passing cars, just the long stretch of tar disappearing in both directions.Nick scanned left then right.“Nothing,” he muttered.Ashley’s voice was tight. “It’s the middle of nowhere.”Henry looked up at me. “We made it” he said and I forced a faint smile. “Yeah, we did” I replied but reaching the road was only half the battle.I turned and looked back

Driving Through Darkness

As I sat still in the car, I thought about what Luca had said.The man who had loved power more than anything had really prepared something like this?He had prepared a way out for us? Luca’s jaw tightened slightly.“I was angry when I heard about Don Fernando’s death,” he admitted. “Don Fernando had built an empire from almost nothing. I respected him and he trusted me with things no one else saw.”“And when you found out I killed him?”“I wanted to find you,” he said plainly.Henry’s fingers tightened around my jacket.“And do what?” Nick asked sharply.Luca didn’t look away from the road.“I hadn’t decided” he replied and that honesty made the car feel even heavier.“But then I learned the full story, I learned why it happened and I understood something” he continued. “What?” Ashley asked.“That he would have chosen Henry over himself.”The words hit me hard while Henry looked down at his hands.Nick shook his head slowly.“So you’ve just been… what? Watching from the shadows all

Safe Haven

Michael’s POVI could barely keep my eyes open. My leg throbbed in a way that made every bump of the car feel like a hammer striking my bone. I pressed a hand against it instinctively, the blood still warm, sticky on my fingers. Henry clung to me tightly from the backseat, murmuring something incoherent, probably half asleep, half terrified. Ashley’s hand was steady on his other side, squeezing his fingers with the kind of reassurance she didn’t need to speak out loud to convey.I tried to focus on Luca’s driving, but everything was a blur of trees, darkness, and the subtle glow of streetlights as we emerged from the woods.The quietness of the suburban streets struck me almost violently. For the first time in hours, I noticed how peaceful it was with crickets chirping faintly, the occasional distant hum of a car engine, streetlights glowing in soft hues. It felt surreal, as though we had crossed into a different world entirely.“I didn’t think Fernando had… anything like this,” I

The Illusion of Morning

Michael’s POV Minutes passed, though it felt like hours.My head swam, the ceiling above me bending slightly at the edges like it couldn’t quite decide whether it wanted to stay solid. The house was quiet now, too quiet.Luca stood over me, his sleeves rolled up, his hands steady and deliberate. The man barely blinked while working. He had stitched the deeper tear in my thigh with the precision of someone who had done this a hundred times before. He had cleaned out dirt and fabric from the wound without hesitation. He had controlled the bleeding in a way that told me he was more than he let on.Now he held a small, clear vial in his hand.“This will help you rest. You need your body relaxed. If you don’t sleep, the inflammation will worsen” he said, his voice calm, almost gentle. Nick crossed his arms immediately. “What is it?”“A mild sedative, just enough to let the body recover” Luca replied.I was so tired, so damn tired.The adrenaline had drained completely, leaving behind

The Call That Won't Stop

Michael’s POVThe phone kept ringing and my pulse thudded painfully in my ears.Nick leaned toward me immediately. “Don’t answer it” he said.My stomach twisted as Nick reached for the phone but I pulled it back instinctively. “Give it to me. You can’t keep that thing. It’s a tracking device now” he said.I stared at the name glowing on the screen and my hand trembled slightly.“I’m not destroying it,” I said quietly.Nick stared at me like I had lost my mind. “Are you serious right now?”“It’s just a phone,” Ashley said.I clenched my jaw because it wasn’t just a phone. It had Henry’s pictures and voice recordings from nights when he couldn’t sleep.It had pictures of Fernando i couldn't let go.“I’m not destroying it,” I repeated.Henry looked up finally. “Why are you all afraid?”Ashley forced a smile. “Nothing, sweetheart. Just grown-up stuff.”Henry shrugged and went back to eating.Before I could respond, the front door opened and we all flinched.Nick was on his feet insta

Facing the Storm

Michael’s POVThe line clicked almost immediately and a calm, measured voice filled my ear.“Michael.”I could hear Nick muttering beside me, whispering.“Stay calm. Don’t let him see you shake.”Ashley stayed close to Henry, crouched beside him at the table. His syrupy fingers left streaks across his face, oblivious to the tension in the room.“Impressive, I have to hand it to you. Escaping under such circumstances. I didn’t think you would make it out alive” Marlo continued, his voice smooth, almost coldly polite.I inhaled sharply. “I made it out alive, that’s the difference.”He chuckled softly, the sound like ice.“Oh, I admire that stubborn streak, but don’t mistake it for freedom. You know I’ll come for Henry.”I could feel Nick leaning toward me, his voice low. “Don’t answer him directly. Just listen, see what he’s planning.”“I know,” I muttered.“Michael, don’t let him get inside your head” Ashley whispered to me, almost as if to herself.I could hear the quiet clink of di

7 Years Later

Michael’s POVI stood in the kitchen that morning, coffee in hand, staring out the window at the quiet street. Nick was already awake, leaning against the counter with a newspaper. He still insisted on physical newspapers even though everything was online now.“You’re staring again,” he muttered without looking up.“I’m thinking.”“That’s worse.”I smirked faintly.Angry footsteps echoed from upstairs and Nick sighed. “Here we go.”Henry was thirteen years old now. He had grown taller with broader shoulders, his voice deeper and recently he had become very difficult.Ashley walked into the kitchen, tying her hair back, still half-asleep. “Is he up?”“Oh, he’s up,” Nick said dryly.Henry came down the stairs wearing his leather jacket half-zipped, his backpack slung carelessly over one shoulder.He didn’t look at me, he just walked straight to the fridge.“Morning,” Ashley said gently.“Morning,” he replied.Nick nodded at him. “You’re up early.”“Yeah" he replied then silence.He
