"She must really love her parents to adore us as same as them." I mumbled quietly. "She's responsible too working here." Darren stated.

"I hope she's lucky to find love as beautiful as her parents, I wasn't lucky." I said pushing my plate away. "Maybe you haven't connected with that special person." he said, my lips stretched into a smile feeding from pain.

"I don't think I ever want to love again not after what I've been through." I gritted my teeth and scoff throwing off the thought before I cry in front of Darren, I resumed eating he didn't bring it up.

We were both done eating, I went to the restroom to wash up, later I stepped out to see Darren talking to waitress, I walked towards them. "I'm done let's go." I told Darren he nodded and a flash of light twitched, Darren immediately put his arm over his face during the flash.

"Aww you hid your face..." she pouted, Darren shares her a stare. "Can I borrow your phone?" he asked, she gave him her phone and he just went through it and

    •••QUINN•••"Since when did you know ?" I asked wearing a subtle look. He sneers at me "Why don't you drink? " he insisted, I held my hand out of the yatch and poured the champagne out in the sea with our eyes locked, his sneer widened to a smile he blows off a quiet chuckle. "Guess you don't like to drink... " he chugged down his glass in delight, I let go of the glass also, I had my head bent. "What do you want from me? " I asked straight to the point, I don't want to play these games anymore I'm tired of being confused and lost I need to know why all of a sudden this family is interested in me. "Nothing." he answered without any facial expression, he was swirling his champagne in his glass. "I could care less about your existence to be honest but unfortunately you are of certain importance to my family, seeing they put a bounty on you and here you are playing dress up in a yatch.. Impressive." he grinned. "Why do your family want me? " I glared at him looking him straight in his

    I confidently stride down back to the room filled with a lot of guest only one thing came to my mind as they all quietly talked to each other while I stood a distance watching everyone, they remind me when I was forced to go to all of my uncle's shitty event, their rich fake smiles and stuck up status. A few mummered debating whether to approach me since I was with Diego but I could care less. "Ambree Tenn." a young woman probably my age but she was caked with makeup handed me a drink, she had shiny beautiful blonde hair which were curled and wore bright red jumpers, I took the drink from her, she smiled holding up her glass. "Is that a rare emblem tiara? " she gasped, I rolled my eyes when she wasn't looking she actually walked up and talk to me because of a stupid tiara that I wore. "Yes, Diego got it for me." I kept up the same act as hers."Oh my God, all my fiance could get me was this stupid 5 million dollars neck chain." I almost choked on the champagne when she mentioned the

    •••QUINN•••My eyes slowly open to a blur, they felt heavy and my body felt numb, slowly I was able to move my arm and my leg but I was exhausted as hell even trying, I blinked a few good seconds before everything cleared out, my vision slowly cleared out and I was stunned, I was cuddled up next to Seth on bed. "You're awake." a weak but audible Seth sighs sighs but he looked relieved, I suddenly gained control of my body and crawled a bit back, Seth sat up running his hands through his hair, he was shirtless obviously, I looked down at myself I was wearing a dress shirt a million things ran through my mind at that time and the only thing I could think of was who the hell changed me I went red thinking about it, Seth noticed and got off the bed. "You were freezing on that godamn dress you had on, my shirt was already dried so that was pretty much the only option." he answered that didn't ease me at all. "You didn't have to change me. " I yelled. "You were soaked and could have wet the

    "What happened? " I asked in a whisper but then I heard it a voice. "They couldn't have gone far..." the next thing I heard were footsteps leaving, Seth still waited till he was sure they left. My eyes were focused on his wound. "They're gone." He turned to face me I wore a worried look. "I'm fine.." he lied through the pain. "You need a stitch now.." I yelled. "We need to get out.." he gripped on to the door knob trying to open the door but to our dismay the door didn't open. He tried a few times to force the door open but somehow it was jammed. "Shit.." Seth cursed I put the basket down pushing him out of the way to try but it was actually stuck. "Help..." I yelled. "We're stuck, anyone there." I yelled but got no reply my mind flash back to the cashier of earlier who had her headphones it's either she was actually playing her music or she actually doesn't care about us. I tried forcing the door open but in the process broke the door knob. "Oh my God..." I whispered dropping the

    •••DARREN•••"I can't pick up their signal..." I muttered under my breath frustrated it's been two days and we've lost contact with both Seth and Quinn after the mission. "This is so like Seth why are you even worried he went off grid for two months once two days is not that much of a deal." Erwin said leaning against the wall. We were still at the hotel and luckily we've been careful covering our tracks making it impossible for Shane's men to find us if they tried. "I know that but Seth always left behind a clue when he do shits like this." I muttered out loud, I was alone with Erwin we still had to stay out of sight since Shane had his men on the look out, Haven is with Maria we were able to contact a few days ago they are also hiding too until everything calmed down. "Maybe you aren't looking hard enough." Erwin suggest. "Why are you worried ? Seth can take care of himself he's gotten into worst shit before, this isn't the first and it's not going to be the last." Erwin yawned bo

    •••QUIN•••It could be four in the morning I had no idea Seth just woke me up saying we had to go without argument I quickly got ready and followed him, we took a route to the subway waiting for to get tickets for the next train which is thirty five minutes from now, my glance remained in a fixed position I was scared to death someone would recognize me and would take me to the Cunningham's, earlier I saw the stitch I did for Seth it swelled a bit my heart kept beating thinking how somehow I messed up stitching that particular place and some pressure could rip it out causing him to bleed. "Quinn.." I focused my attention to the floor since my head was bent and went stiff, what if someone did recognize me and is waiting for the right time to act, I can't do anything right I can't do a simple stitch, I can't do anything right without recalling a single memory of that dickhead Terry. "Quinn.." I couldn't even protect Seth when he got shot I should have taken the bullet not him, my ha

    "A flashlight? " a voice mummered. "It doesn't belong to us, that means whoever it is they're not far off." I heard a chuckle the only thing that could make this worse is if they found out we hid at the small space or they long around waiting for us to get back our flashlight, many things possibly happening cross my mind."Who would come down here this place is the last place any sane person would want to go unless they want to die? " "They could be teenagers exploring the tunnel.""How do you know it's not more than one person? " a voice asked asked his tone was dominant maybe he was somehow the leader."It's just a hunch I guess.. " this one sounded at ease and doesn't seemed to be bother that much with anything. "Too bad we have to kill them." I almost choked on my silava. "Can't we just play with them a bit longer before we do away with them? " "You know not every human is a toy right? " "That's your own perspective, we are going to kill them anyways what's the point of not

    ••QUINN**He put his hand down looking behind me. "Quinn...?? " he walks up to me while I stuck on my knees he picked up the flashlight pointing at the dead plus unconscious bodies my hand was shaking I just violated a rule and killed my somebody."I killed somebody.." I whispered under my breath visibly shaking and unstable. He walks past me and heads over to Seth at first he seemed calm but when he pointed the gun at Seth he pulled a gun at him. "No...Manfred no... " I yelled getting his attention. "Quinn stay back he needs to die..." I crwaled up to Seth with my eyes red with. "No, he didn't do anything wrong." I whispered. "He was defending himself even when he was in pain there's nothing wrong there you can't kill him." I yelled. "That's not the reason he deserves to die, do you know what this man has done if I don't kill him now he's going to cause more chaos.." "I don't care he hasn't done anything wrong he's not a good person or a bad person either he did whatever he had t

    •••SETH•••I traced Nolan to where he was hiding, finally we were in the same room as my men raid his hideout. "Let's end this story shall we? " i said pointing my gun at him, he turned and smile. "So this is it, I'm painted as the bad guy when i basically tried to avenge your father.." he said. "I didn't ask you did i? " i questioned. "Huntress killed your father, I'm not your enemy." Nolan said. "You paid a hitman to kill Huntress after your father died since your father died in the war you always hated Huntress so you killed your own family to take over the Mafia, you're just a bitter soul." i said. "Have the Prestons gone soft, a Preston would avenge their kind.. ""That was forty years ago basically your age, the wars we brought is over, my father ran the Mafia his way i kill to get what i want and protect those who are family...""It's a shame Erwin isn't here to see you he would have enjoyed smashing your skull.." i said firing five bullets until he died on the spot. •••QU

    The moment i got to New York, the so called secret hideout was some kind of abandoned factory, i met with Manfred we both pulled each other into a hug until i saw, Haven and Mandy as well. "What are you guys doing here? " i asked "I'm here to make sure you keep to your promise and also Shane could be here i don't want him to be killed along with his pathetic brother.." Mandy said. "Darren is with Maria, i came because i couldn't let you have all the fun.." Haven said as i looked for Seth. "Seth got caught up in something." Haven explain having noticed, i nodded. "What's happening? " I asked "It's like the Cunningham's knew we were here, we thought they were hiding you in here we were planning on attacking but they took down our men, i called Erica to inform her but then i heard your voice but i already sent a few men to bomb from the inside, i can't reach them and tell them to abort.." Manfred said. "Erica was working with them, don't abort, they are holding Erwin when the bomb

    •••QUINN•••Me, Mandy and Seth got checked into one of the hotel Maria was in with Darren and Haven, i practically barge in to see Maria covered with a blanket she pushes her head up to see me she wore a sad smile, i went to hug her she didn't react other than hug me tightly. "They took Erwin.." Maria whispered."How's that even possible? " Seth question calmly. "I don't know it all happened so fast." Maria whined. "Why did they take Erwin and leave you behind? " Seth asked. "I don't know I'm lost as you, the first thing i was with Erwin and some brunette haired girl said walked up to me saying she can't find her grandma, the next thing she drags me even when i told her to fuck off and the next thing in know a bullet was fired and the last person i saw was Erwin, then i passed out and before i blacked out he glared at the girl yelled, you...

    •••MANDY•••I packed everything i needed, i even went ahead to snatching cash from Terry's room i quickly put everything into my bag, i wasn't going to stay here any longer while they plan to kill Quinn. I finished packing zipping up my backpack, I'm so happy Terry didn't chain me to my bed anymore I've done more than enough to gain his trust and fooling him that he can have his way with me, if possible I'll shoot the bastard but I've been waiting for this day. I sling the back pack over my shoulder going through the map i photoshopped in my mind i heaved a deep breath a little bit concerned everything, i pull out my gun and massaging my bullets in. "Here goes nothing.." i hissed quietly creaking the door open looking for any obstacle, the coast looked clear, i broke out and took to my heels, i heard footsteps getting louder and shot anyone that seemed like a threat, i shot about three guards so far and took one of their guns, i was relieved i made it this far until i saw Terry.

    •••QUINN•••I wore a baseball cap and a nose mask obviously while helping Maria at the cafe there were not that much people only four, three girls and a man who just ordered only plain coffee, i went up to Maria who was reading some kind of magazine. "I'm done delivering orders..." i said itching my neck since i settle for a turtle neck to hide Seth's hickey, the door leading to the garage revealed Erwin who was clad in black, he wore a black nose mask, his eyes looked souless and unexcited as he trail down to our direction, i heard a few mummurs from the girls who were eyeing Erwin, i scoff uninterested elbowing the counter."Hey Erwin, you've got admirers.." Maria tease pointing the teenage girls. "Not interested." Erwin snarled immediately, pinning his elbow too on the counter, recently he's been acting weird or should i say quiet i would love to ask but i don't see that happening without him gloating, he doesn't need my pity."Maybe one of them can help you get over.. ""Shut up.

    A few days later i did Movie night with Maria, Haven and Erwin, Darren said he was busy but promised to take out time to hang out with me especially and Seth, he didn't want to come.I was heading back to my room exhausted, i only agreed to do the movie night because i thought I'll be exhausted in the end, well i thought wrong.I paced down the corridor quietly strolling down to my door, quickly i opened it it was dark at first, i switched on the light to see Seth laid on my bed, i balled my hands into fists and rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't part of an illusion caused by my exhaustion.I turned thinking of exiting the room the moment i grabbed the door knob he mutters. "Turn around.." i heard him scoff humourifically, i turned pissed he found the current situation amusing."What are you doing in my bed? " i don't know what came over me that made me to even utter that question, a smirk crawled up his lips a mischievous one, i was pissed but i didn't dare take another step."The

    •••QUINN•••My eyes slowly opened, i groaned out a last hiss realising i didn't get much sleep again, my head ached a bit thinking how awful it was staying up and thanks to my insomnia i still can't get enough sleep, my eyes blinked twice recalling how i was able to sleep when Seth was around, probably the first time I've was weak and exhausted so i probably can't stay up all night but a few days passed i was able to sleep for some reason.I hissed when a ray of light found it's way to my bed room, i recalled what happened last night and terribly cringed to it, i swear Erwin is going to tease me for life, i tried pushing myself up and then hissed again feeling some kind of ache on my bare skin."Did he probably drug me during those times?" i questioned myself, i shook my head on the thought that i barely ate so the possibility of him drugging me were low, probably i was exhausted and weak from not eating my body decided to preserve my health and sleep.But of all the times i couldn't

    "What is this place? " i asked, Maria tagged closely to me. "The guys bought this place a few months ago disguise as a cafe i run while they plan behind the scenes, it's a cover up so they won't get easily tracked, down here is the garage while that door leads to the cafe, when i heard you were coming today i just had to see you, your hair is amazing by the way." Maria complimented.There was another door possibly the door to the rest of the floors, again these guys are freaking rich to think of buying a building.Erwin and Seth were walking to the door until Seth stopped then turned to Maria. "Maria why don't you show Quinn the cafe..." she nodded quickly and took my hand leading me to another door probably to the cafe, she opened the door there were a few customers drinking, a few were on their phones while some were chatting.I quickly hovered my palm against my face to hide my identity, Maria noticed and quickly escort me to the back of the counter to a tiny room, there were provi

    •••MOLLY•••I sat down comfortably eating my pancake, Erica and Manfred show up, Manfred looked pissed and stressed probably since they couldn't find that lousy bitch after her disastrous enthronement, it's been a week it's like she just disappeared it's a good thing because that could mean she's out of the way."How are you Molly? " Manfred asked."I'm fine..." i didn't bother to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Quinn, i hope she sure dies...""What... " Manfred coughed, i looked up totally unfazed realizing the shit i just muttered. "I said i hope she survives..." I chuckled looking at Erica who rolled her eyes at my lame excuse. "Manfred we should really be going, we have work on our hands." Erica said as Manfred nodded."Molly why are you here again? " Manfred asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in school or with your grandma ? " he added."I just decided to stop by before i finally go to school, sorry for the inconvenience..." i teethed as Manfred nodded
