Chapter Thirteen Marcel I wake up to a familiar soothing voice, a voice I have been waiting to hear for a whole year. She’s leaning over me, her black hair falling over her cheeks. And her green eyes pierced into my soul. I bring my hand up to her cheek, and softly glide my fingers across her soft skin. “I’m leaving now Marcel.” She says to me, making me immediately sit up, and pull her toward me. “I’m sorry, please don’t leave me, I need you,” I tell her but before I know it, she fades away right before my eyes with a slight echo of goodbye from somewhere in the now empty room. And then as if the pain of losing her again isn’t enough, I then start to feel a burn in my chest, I extend my hand and feel where the burning sensation is coming from, and feel something wet. When I pull my hand back to inspect the liquid, I discover its blood, a lot of blood. Who did this to me?” I ask myself, and then look around the room but find no one that could have attacked me. I try to yell

Chapter Twelve Jamie Roman and I walk into his study and find my father sitting at the large meeting table. There are five very large men joining him, men I don’t remember ever seeing around. I can only assume they are the men that Roman invited to the meeting, the men my father mentioned should be here. They stare at me curiously as we approach the table, and Roman pulls out a chair for me to take a seat. As soon as I sit down, he pushes my chair back in and then takes his seat next to me at the head of the table. “Thanks for coming everyone, we have a lot to discuss, but first I want to formally introduce you to James' daughter, Jamie Stone. Jamie, this Is Danil, he is my second in command.” He nods his head in acknowledgment but doesn’t say a word, he’s honestly beyond terrifying. Every single thing on the man was pure muscle, his brown hair just as long as mine, going all the way down to his shoulders, and he had scars covering his face, but

Chapter Eleven Jamie I sit up, and get off the bed, backing away from him, in utter shock of the cruelty of what he’s asking me to do. I quickly start to find my clothes, eager to get out of this room. “Jamie, you said that you wanted to be treated as my equal, and I’m giving you that.” What a weak explanation, he knows my history with Marcellus, he knows that it would be impossible for me to pull off a job like that with all the emotion that would be attached to it. He knows that I still love him, this doesn’t feel like a loyalty test. It feels like his own version of revenge for my not wanting to marry him. "I can’t believe you!” I snap back at him while pulling my blouse over my head. “I don’t understand! Why are you so upset? He wants to kill you, and you for some reason still care for him? I don’t know how else to seal this deal with you if you can’t get rid of your own enemy. How will you help me get rid of mine as my partner

Chapter Ten Jamie “Dad, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.” I tell him, he sits with his legs crossed in a chair behind Roman’s desk, looking as unimpassioned as usual. “It has, have you kept up on your training during your stay here?” He asks. He doesn’t say hello or get up to give me a hug, He just sits there with a deadpan look, as if his very own son isn’t being held captive by one of the most powerful men in the world, it absolutely disgusts me. “Well of course father, would you like to see all the new things I’ve learned? I would love to test them on you.” “Hmm maybe some other time, we obviously have much to talk about, and I also have some very bad news to share with you.” He doesn’t seem to notice the obvious aggravation in my tone, or maybe, he just doesn’t care. I’m too eager to know what he has to say to try to make my anger at him even more obvious. So I stay silent, and patiently wait for him to continue. Roman sits behind his desk, intently listening, as if he

Chapter Nine Marcellus There is not a word to describe the fury and frustration that is building inside me as Luca stands in my office yammering on about why my plan will never work. And I am so fucking sick of hearing it, in fact, I’m this close to blowing his fucking brains out. “She’s just too heavily guarded, Roman is probably on his way here right because you just had to make a scene at the Congregation… you’re losing it man! You really are-” Luca just keeps chiming on and on. Little does he know a volcano is gonna erupt inside me if he doesn’t shut up. She never came to the car I had waiting for her like I planned she would, I was so sure, and usually nothing surprises me. Maybe she couldn’t find a way to sneak out, I hope she burned that fucking note. The great Nightingale has taught her nothing if that's the case. The clock on my wall is ticking louder, and louder, and Luca’s voice going farther and farther away, until the ticking becomes so loud, it’s

Chapter EightJamieIf there is one thing that I’m absolutely sure of, it’s that Marcel is an idiot for thinking that it’s going to be easy sneaking out of here in broad daylight. Although Roman has been avoiding me ever since last night, I haven’t seen him all day. He didn’t even acknowledge me when we came home. He just went straight to his room, and I believe I know the reason. I mean honestly there could be several, he might feel ashamed that Marcel had the upper hand, and he belittled

Chapter Forty-ThreeJamie“So you're telling me that you haven't been kidnapped, and no one has hurt you, and that you're fine.” Alley says from the other line.“Yes, Alley. Didn't you hear me back at the hospital? He has been nothing but… nice.” Okay so that was totally a lie, but in the end he has become… nice, if that's the word for it.“You know what this sounds like to me? Stockholm Syndrome.” Alley says blankly.“Alley. I'm seriously fine, there are a lot of things that have came about from all of this… for instance, my dad. He found me…” I know I am dropping a bomb, but it's a bomb of distraction.“WHA

Chapter Forty-TwoJamieI stand up quickly to the sound of the thunderous boom of a gun go off, and instead of being the dumb girl to run down stairs, and see what’s going on. I immediately take advantage of the cell phone in my hands and call Marcel.I slide the touch screen open and search hurriedly for Marcel’s name in my contact list, and as soon as I see the beginning letters of his name I click the call symbol.It rings, and rings until finally I hear his smooth voice through the receiver of the phone.“Jamie?” he says, already sounding like he sensed something was wrong.“I just heard a loud gunshot down stairs,” I say in a whisper, in fear th

Chapter FortyJamieI could have sworn that I fell asleep on the chair last night, someone must have come to check on me and moved me to the bed. My eyes are burning and heavy from all the crying last night. I only wish Helios were here to keep me company like he used to.I drag myself out of bed, and slowly get myself ready for the day, the only thing motivating me is the fact that my brother is probably up and moving around by now. It will make my day to see him, and even talk to him about how he feels about us having the same dad.After a long shower, I grab a casual, short blue dress, I don’t choose this dress because of how cute it makes me look, I chose it because I know that Marcel will disapprove of the length. I am going to do everything in my power to defy him, and we will see

Chapter Thirty-NineJamieJosh has been sleeping all day apparently, and all I want to do is see him standing around, and talking again, even if it’s him usually being a complete ass at least he is alive. He might not want to see me after what I told him over the phone back in Italy.My mom is curled up on the soft, gray velvet sofa with a blanket draped over her fast asleep. Her face is still stained with tears, and all I wish I could do is go back in time. If I would have known what she had gone through I would have tried to help her. But in all honesty I know deep down that there is nothing I could do. I just wish I could have stopped that from happening, and then Josh and I would have lived a very different life.The lights are off, and the TV light flashes in my face, I stare at the screen but

Chapter Thirty-EightMarcellus“What the fuck are you playing at Night?” I scream at Jamie’s father as I bang my fist in anger on the table. I know he has something to do with Roman finding out about Jamie, he is the only one that could have known, and that would have been able to have direct contact with him.“We had a deal, and you went behind my back!” I accuse him.“I am doing what I have to do to protect my daughter, you asked for my help, and I am giving it my way! Roman hates your father just as much as anyone else, and he has been dying for the opportunity to take him down. It benefits him that there is new leadership within your family, and I know for a fact that he has had nothing to do with whoever is stealing from your family!”&nbs
