I could feel the world falling apart when I got a call from the hospital that my father is dead. My ears were ringing and I couldn't hear a single thing. I found myself running out from my office building grabbing a taxi. I called Phoenix on my way there and I was devastated.
I was crying on my way there and I was heartbroken.
I got out from the taxi and ran towards the emergency room. I followed the directions in the hospital and suddenly someone grabbed my body into a room knocking me out.
I opened my eyes slowly after I regained consciousness. I was locked in a small room and the door opened revealing Julie.
"You!" I said and I looked down to see my arms are tied with ropes. Julie immediately untied me and

Phoenix SterlingI swore that I would kill Finn Ancelet with my own hands. He took this to another level and I don't know how he knew that I'm one of the members of ILLICIT. He kidnapped Lana in the process after killing Alester so that I could give him what he wants.Since I pissed off Dean earlier, I don't think he would help me and so is Chance. I'm on my own and I have to figure it out myself. I tracked Lana's phone to her last location because from that point, I don't think Finn would be that far.When I found where her phone last was active and it's an abandoned factory. I got into my car and drove towards that abandoned factory alone. I was driving in full speed not caring about how many tickets I will get from this as long as Lana is safe.As I was driving,

Dean AlessandroI looked at Phoenix who was still not conscious. I let out a long sigh and I can't believe that he got injured like this. I care for every one of the ILLICIT members as long as they follow the rules. He pissed me off when I only want to save his ass.Finn's men broke into our headquarter and we're currently constructing it quickly. I have my men hunting for Finn right now along with Europol."Ms. Castroff's surgery went well, Mr. Alessandro." I turned to Stefan and gave him a nod. He excused himself and I turned to Phoenix again."I'll beat the shit out of you once you wake up." I whispered and walked out from the ICU."His family?" I asked Esther as she gave me Lana's medical chart.

Phoenix SterlingI opened my eyes and looked around. No shit sherlock. I got up from the bed the second I realized that I'm not in the hospital anymore. I walked to the window and saw the headquarters currently going under construction."You're awake?" I turned my head to see Dean walking in with my medical chart."Why did you bring me here?! Is Lana okay?" I walked to him angrily and Dean looked at me coldly. He gestured me to sit on the bed."I need to see her.." I said in an angry tone but Dean ignored me."You'll see her when your condition is stable enough." He said in his serious and cold tone. He gestured me to sit on the bed and I do as he told me."Is she okay?"

Lana CastroffIt's been a week since the incident. It was a tough week for me. The emotions and the physical pain was pretty bad. My father left me a letter saying that he was sorry and how he loves me a lot. I couldn't help but cry all day reading it again and again.Phoenix's parents have been so caring, they took care of me when Phoenix is under watch for his injuries. I haven't been able to see Phoenix too and it makes me frustrated.I want to know his condition and I'm worried. Adrian came a lot too and he updated me with Phoenix's progress all the time. I'm so thankful for Adrian since he always brings me the things that I need.I miss Phoenix, he's the only person that I could rely on in this situation but I couldn't ask much because he has injuries too beca

She was broken and she blamed it on herself.Her father is indeed not a good person. He planned to kill me because he wanted my new military gear so bad. They know that they could sell it in a really high price and impress the cartels around Europe. In the end of the day, no matter how evil his father was, he's still her father.Lana is still in her healing process too and I can say that she's doing well physically but not emotionally.My parents helped a lot too.

Lana Castroff"I never thought you would want to see me." Dean said as he gestured to me to sit. I sat down on the sofa and Dean sat across me."I.. might overheard your conversation with Adrian in the hospital." When I was in the hospital, I walked out to find Adrian since he forgot his phone on the table. I overheard him talking to Dean about Phoenix."About what? We talked about a lot of things.""About you want Phoenix to leave me." I said and he nodded."You both are not real right? You're only married because he wanted to save his ass from his parents." Dean said like it's nothing. He looked at me coldly and it was obvious that he doesn't like me."That's true but why? Why do

Angelo VanderI looked at Phoenix completely concerned. He's drinking alcohol like it's water and he's out of his mind. He looked out the window and it seemed like he got a lot of things going in his mind.I heard from Adrian that Dean made Phoenix choose between ILLICIT or Lana. It was clear to us that he's in love with Lana. He's still not admitting it yet but for me.. it was pretty obvious.Dean was pretty cruel to say that when he knew Phoenix needed both. Phoenix needs ILLICIT as equal as him needing Lana in his life. I don't know why Dean just let the rule gone when he knew Phoenix's starting to be happy."You okay?" I asked as I stopped him from drinking his sixth glass in 30 minutes."Lana wanted a divorce." Phoenix

Lana CastroffIf you think I'm doing just fine, I'm far from fine. My life went downhill ever since I got the news of my father's death. It was a hard blow for me.Now, I'm looking at the divorce paper with Phoenix staring at me. He didn't say a word ever since he got into the apartment. All he did was hand me the divorce paper for me to sign. I grabbed my pen and looked at the paper sadly.All I wanted to do now is to rip those papers apart and tell Phoenix that I love him but it would be a selfish act.I sighed the divorce paper and I looked up to him. I pushed the paper to him so he could sign it."I'll sign it later." He said and I nodded. I got up from the sofa and walked towards the last box of my things that I alread

Declan SeranoI waited for Danielle in the garden and I looked up to the sky. I was so nervous. I turned to see Danielle sitting on the end of the bench."What? What do you want to talk about?" She asked."You're not single! You're not single, okay?" I stated and she raised her eyebrows."Is it that hard to ask?" She asked and I looked at her gulping nervously."I- I don't know.. I do- I don't know how to express it. You know I'm not a word-driven guy." I said completely frustrated."Congratulations! You're still single." She said as she clapped her hands. She got up from the bench.
