...Kevin POV...I watched as her eyes opened wide in surprise. I was no longer the Kevin her parents once knew and tried to destroy. I was a man on a mission. I wanted her family to pay for everything they have ever done to me. Including stealing Haley from me. "You seem to be under the impression that I care." She says, frowning at me.I raise a brow in suspicion. I know how close she and her family are. So I know she wouldn't want anything to happen to them. So what's with the change?"You don't?" I question, calling her bluff.She remains stoic and expressionless, refraining from saying anything further, just watching me. Her eyes dart between me and Silvio; who is standing behind me."Even if you kill me, my dad will never give you what you want." She replies instead, making me cock a brow."The problem here is that you think you know what I'm after." I comment, making her turn her attention solely to me."You're not exactly a complex guy. I'm guessing you want revenge on my dad.
...Sienna POV...Silvio nods his head and then instructs the nurse to continue. We watch as she places her thumb on the applicator, ready to insert the liquid into his IV.Every possible scenario is running through my mind, but as Kevin is more than aware, I'm at a crossroads. Either I remain silent, and Tomás dies, or I agree to help him and possibly get Hunter killed in the process. I had no idea what to do. But as I watched the nurse, I knew what I had to do. I don't even know what Kevin wants me to do, but I can't let anything happen to Tomás. I care for him as if he was my own brother. It would kill me to see him die, knowing I could've stopped it. So instead of delaying the inevitable, I shout out."NO! STOP! I'll do whatever you want. Just leave Tomás alone!" I shout, hoping I'm not too late.I watch Kevin triumphantly smile, and Silvio nods, instructing the nurse to back off."What do you need me to do?" I ask, defeatedly. Knowing I'm not going to like anything Kevin has to s
"But why, after all these years? Why did you suddenly come after me? I never did anything to you? Why have you done all of this?""Your dad and I have been at odds with one another ever since we met. Your father took what was mine. He then had my brother killed.""Step-brother. And my dad never killed him. Chase got himself killed when he created a vendetta against my mom. It was only a matter of time until someone killed him." I comment, earning me a slap. I'm so numb to everything now that I couldn't even care. "Also, who said I only just started coming after you?" He comments, making me look up at him in curiosity."I've been watching you from the moment you were born. I know you better than you even know yourself." He comments with a hidden meaning. Making me look at him as if trying to decipher what he was talking about. As if answering an unspoken question, Kevin signals Silvio to come closer. He whispers something in his ear before looking back at me with a triumphant smile.I
I don't know how long I've been out. I don't think that long, as I don't see any remains of food that the guard would've brought me if it was close to mealtime. Just the thought of food has my stomach in turmoil. I kept my eyes closed, trying to calm my stomach and head. I kept my breathing even as I focused on keeping my head up. I knew I wouldn't get anywhere if I focused on the pain. I tried to sit up, but it was increasingly difficult. It was hard enough with my arms tied behind my back and my feet tied together. But with my shoulder dislocated and my elbow fractured, it was practically impossible. But I couldn't lay on the floor forever. So I tried my best to offset my weight by avoiding having to use my injured arm. After a few attempts, I finally managed to sit up. I closed my eyes as my head leaned against the cool wall. My head was still spinning, but I had to overcome it. I needed to think of a way out. I couldn't stay here much longer. Now that I knew Kevin and Silvio's p
...Hunter POV...As I entered Sienna's cell, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it wouldn't be good. She had starved herself for over a week. But as if that wasn't enough, I had my men rough her up. I had prepared myself for the worst, yet I still felt underprepared when I saw her.She resembled a corpse. No. A corpse had more life in them compared to how she looked. She was quite literally skin and bones. Her body was littered with blood and bruises. Her malnutrition made her injuries appear worse, as she didn't have the energy to help herself heal. It nearly brought a tear to my eye, seeing my precious Mariposa destroyed like this. She barely even registered my presence. It was as if she had already died. I think part of me knew that was a semblance of the truth. She was no longer the determined and strong-willed girl I had once known. My men had torn her apart piece by piece, leaving the ghost of the girl she once was. Despite everything my men and I had done to her, she still
"I knew you would be at the club that night, so I needed a way in. It wasn't hard to convince Ace to let me in. Once I was in, I knew all I needed to do was get your attention. I knew your reputation, and the only way you would even look in my direction was if I forced your hand. I called you out, knowing you would take the bait. Which you did." She admitted.I noticed that her gaze continued to shift from my eyes to Silvio, to a spot in the far corner. I looked over, but couldn't see anything, so looked back at her instead. "Once you jumped in the ring, I knew I managed to grab your attention. I just needed to lock you in. The man that stabbed me was one of my coworkers. The entire fight had been staged to see your reaction. When you tried to save me, I knew I had done my job. Now, the next step was for you to come to me. I couldn't be like other girls. I knew that if I tried to find you, you would keep your distance from me. So instead, I wanted you to come to me."I find my body r
...Kevin POV...So far, my plan was working out perfectly. I was so close to my final goal that I was nearly salivating. Soon, the Stones would get what was coming for them. It was only a matter of time.I waited for Hunter and Silvio to return from the dungeon after Hunter's conversation with Sienna. I knew I couldn't fully trust Sienna to tell the whole truth to Hunter, which is why I had Silvio go down to the cells to watch over them. I waited by the entrance of the Dungeon for Hunter to emerge so I could gather from his expressions how he was dealing with what Sienna told him. If he were calm, I would know that Sienna wasn't convincing enough. However, if Hunter seemed tense, I would know that Sienna did her part.I was absolutely elated to see Hunter absolutely fuming when he came up the stairs. He looked in my direction quickly before storming off in the direction of his office. I couldn't help but smile when I noticed he was also covered in blood."GONZALEZ!" Hunter shouted in
...Javier POV...Many people wonder how I could ever work for someone such as Hunter. However, they don't know our history. While many may see Hunter as a monster, I see him as my saviour. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive today. Like most Colombians, I lived a life of poverty. My father worked as a commercial fisherman. Because of his job, he was often away from our family. My mother worked around the clock at a small diner. For as long as I can remember, my mother has always loved to cook. So one day, my father took out a loan to help build a restaurant for my mom. The investment seemed good at the time, so my mother agreed to the loan. Knowing that we could pay back the money within a couple of years. However, my parents hadn't realized how difficult it was to operate their own business. It didn't help that Los Calaveras made it difficult to pay the money back to them. Scaring off customers and delaying our deliveries to the point my parents were considering filing for ba
