GABRIEL’S POVI drove off almost immediately, my knuckles turning white against the steering wheel, hoping I’d spot Damien’s car in the distance. But the road was clear as day, stretching out before me like an endless void.Where the hell are you, Damien?I opened my map app, scrolling quickly as I searched for the nearest hospital. St. Anthony’s was the closest—about five minutes away.I increased my speed, my heart hammering eagerly in my chest, each beat a painful reminder of the ticking clock. As I pulled into the parking lot of St. Anthony’s, a wave of dread washed over me.I rushed inside, the sterile smell of antiseptic hitting so hard. I approached the receptionist, desperation clawing at my voice.“Hi, was any lady brought in here by a man a few minutes ago?”The receptionist looked up from her screen, her expression neutral and unyielding, “No, sir, we haven’t had any new patients for over an hour.”“Are you sure?” My eyes widened in disbelief.“You can check the next hospi

MIGUEL’S POVA loud banging jolted me awake, pulling me from the depths of sleep. As I attempted to open my eyes, a haze blurred my vision, a heavy fog that seemed to cling to me.I groaned, pushing myself up from the bed, the sheets clinging to my skin like a second layer.I lifted my hands to massage my temples, tilting my head from side to side, cracking it with the support of my hand.I heard the sound of water running and I figured Elise was in there.“Hmmm… Elise,” I growled softly.Stumbling to my closet, I grabbed a wrinkled shirt and a pair of pants, throwing them on haphazardly. I took a moment to compose myself, smoothing down the fabric as I approached the door.“Boss, there’s something you should know,” Joe said, immediately the door swung open.I cleared my throat, eager to know why the heck he was knocking on my door this early on a Saturday morning.“It better be good Joe,” I warned, my eyes still heavy.“I think I know why the Russians pulled out,” he said, his tone s
A Contract For Revenge SIXTY-FOUR
GABRIEL'S POVThe night dragged on in the hospital, each hour stretching like taffy as we paced the sterile waiting room like restless ghosts. The acrid smell of antiseptic filled the air, a constant reminder of the chaos that had unfolded. Kiera was stable, the nurse had assured us, but that word barely eased the knot in my stomach. Stable felt like a cruel joke after everything she had suffered.Damien and I refused to leave, even though we weren’t allowed access to Kiera’s ward. I needed to be here when she awoke, to let her know that I hadn’t abandoned her. Yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Damien had the upper hand. He was there when she needed someone, while I was wallowing in my self-ego and jealousy.The fluorescent lights hummed above us, casting a harsh glare that felt almost mocking. I leaned against the wall, my mind racing. What the hell was I doing here? I should have been out there, hunting down the bastards who hurt her. Instead, I was stuck in this waiting room,
A Contract For Revenge SIXTY-FIVE
KIERA’S POVMy heart rumbled in my chest as I watched Gabriel walking towards the exit. At the same time, Damien settled beside me, his arms wrapping around me. Unconsciously, my eyes darted toward the threshold and I saw Gabriel standing there, his countenance cold as ice. He could get a heart attack for all I care!Anger and sadness tangled together in my mind, a storm brewing that I couldn’t escape, as I watched him ball his fist and walk away.What was his beef anyway? Didn’t he make it clear once more that we were never gonna cross the contract lines? Why was he acting like he had swallowed a box of nails?My eyes fluttered shut as I calmed myself in Damien’s embrace. The last thing I remembered before waking up in this room was the blinding glare of headlights, three sets of them rushing toward me, then a punch that knocked the world out from under me. It all felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake from.“Hey,” Damien’s voice broke through my whirlwind of thoughts, his brow furrow
A Contract For Revenge SIXTY-SIX
DAMIEN'S POVEverything that had happened felt like a whirlwind, and I was still trying to catch my breath. I wasn’t lying when I said that I don’t know what I’d do if I lost Kiera. I’d be more than devastated. Kiera had taken up almost every cell in my body, and all I wanted was for her to be safe and sound.As I drove home, a hint of rage still lingered in my chest like a pot threatening to boil over.I was mad at Gabriel for the role he played in this but I couldn’t lash out on him. Gabriel, even though he went too far this time. Leaving Kiera on that godforsaken lonely road was a wrong move and if he were one of our men, he’d probably be knocking at the gates of hell right now. His ego had almost cost Kiera her life, and that would be something I could never forgive.I pulled into the driveway, barely registering the surroundings. I stormed into the house, needing a shower to wash away the grime of the horrific events and to grab some things for Kiera. I didn’t even bother checkin
A Contract For Revenge SIXTY-SEVEN
MIGUEL’S POV“We can't let him bask in the glory of thinking his little threat has us quaking in our boots,” I declared, my gaze flickering like a candle in the wind between Diego and Joe.“But Boss, Don Pablo isn’t exactly a dimwit. He’s itching for a showdown,” Diego countered, his brow furrowing.“And you think I’m oblivious to that? I’ve seen the havoc he wreaks. But unless we draw the first blood, he we'll just be a headless chicken running in circles,” I shot back.“But we did invade his turf to snatch back our shipment,” Joe chimed in, trying to find a foothold in this precarious conversation.“True enough, but as long as he’s got no solid evidence linking us to his allegations, he’s all bark and no bite. The unwritten rules of the underworld are his only leash, and he knows that crossing us could very well mean signing his own death warrant,” I explained, my voice dripping with confidence.“So what’s our next move, then?” Joe asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.“We keep o

DAMIEN’S POV“Are you really considering going to spend the weekend with Gabriel at Abuela’s place?” I demanded, my voice barely concealing the simmering fury bubbling beneath the surface.“What would you have me do?” Kiera threw back, clearly frustrated.“Well, you could have come up with anything. You could have conjured up any excuse under the sun to make her change her mind!” I barked, struggling to keep my emotions in check.“Oh like “I’m sorry Abuela but your grandson is an asshole and to clear the air, I’m not even his real fiancé,” Is that what I should have said?” She lashed out, crossing her arms.“Come on, Kiera. That’s not what I meant,” I countered.“Then what did you expect me to do? Because no one hates this situation more than me, and it’s driving me insane!” She squealed.I took a deep breath, knowing she didn’t deserve my wrath. She had just come home from the hospital yesterday, yet here I was, throwing verbal grenades as if I could control the chaos of our lives wh
A Contract For Revenge SIXTY-NINE
KIERA’S POVI opened my mouth and snapped it shut, the words tangled in my throat. I had the response at the tip of my tongue, yet his question was totally unexpected.I knew he was into me, but not to this point. “For the rest of our lives?” That’s really a long time commitment, and I needed to make sure he knew what he was getting himself into. If this was just a fleeting infatuation, I wouldn’t want him to commit to me and regret it in the future.“F*ck! I knew you wouldn’t want that. I know you can’t be mine. What was I even thinking?” He grunted, turning away from me.“No, no! That’s…. that’s not it?”“Then what is it?” He probed, spinning back to face me, his voice calm as a zephyr.The charm of his alluring green eyes trapped my soul, and as I stared at him, I knew one thing; I wanted him. He was the definition of perfection, he was everything any woman could dream of. I wanted him to be the first and the last man to ever touch me. I refused to deny myself a chance at a potenti
