One year later ... "Mia, why does the baby keeps crying?" Reed called out for his wife. He is panicked and he is not understanding how to console the hysterical little munchkin. Mia walked out of the kitchen and looked at the father-daughter duo. Their daughter is three months old. Reed was by her side throughout her pregnancy. He was more worried about her during her labor than she was. After their daughter is born, he is adamant to take care of her all on his own. But sadly he tends to panic if she starts crying. "Aww. Looks like our baby is hungry" she cooed and gently took the baby from Reed. She sat comfortably on the couch and began feeding her. Just then, the doorbell rings. "I will attend the door" Reed volunteered. When he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law along with Chloe and their baby. "Hello Reed" Emma greeted him with a warm motherly smile. "Hello Mom" he leaned in and kissed her cheeks. In this one year, he began to like Emma very much. She treats him ju
"Ahhh..." A painful scream came from above, which startled Mia. Gunfires rang, followed by screams of shock and pain. "Please, please don't kill me" someone begged for their life just a second before another gunfire rang again, loud and clear. Mia doesn't have to think about who is holding the gun. "The king of darkness is here" she muttered with irritation. Dead bodies littered the old rundown house. Every surface is covered with blood and bullets. Reed Carter is standing in the middle of the destruction that he brought upon. His face is expressionless like always. His underboss Matteo is standing a step behind him with a slightly disturbed expression on his face. His suit is littered with the blood of his victims. While Reed looks spotless, as if he just didn't kill a dozen men under five minutes. Reed Carter, the Greek God who only wears black and who has a history to match his dark aura. The man who rightfully earned his nickname as the king of darkness is now the boss o
Mia, the princess of the Vitiello clan, daughter of the most feared Mafia Don Luca Vitiello is kidnapped. She is kept in a basement in a run-down house in the middle of nowhere. Two days, it's been two days since she was kidnapped from the altar and thrown into this basement. No one came for her since then. Her wedding dress is now dirty, and she is starved and dehydrated.She saw everything happen with shock. She walked onto the Altar and Alesso accepted her hand from her father Luca Vitiello. That's when the firing started, taking everyone by alarm. The once cheerful environment became chaotic and everyone began to run for their lives.Mia watched her mother being shot and Chloe, her best friend who is eight months pregnant collapsed on the ground holding her stomach. Mia cried when she saw blood, which belongs to her sister-in-law. Everything happened in seconds. But it took her some time to process the incidents.She saw how Alesso was taken away by his men to safety, leaving her
Mia doesn't know how long she stood under the shower. The more she is standing there, the cleaner she began to feel. The stench of death left her nostrils after their blood is washed off her body. She didn't bother to strip. She is feeling clean. But suddenly the shower is turned off and her bliss is ruined. She glared at the man who interrupted her."What do you want?" She snapped at him.Reed is looking at her strangely. "I came to save you again princess. If you stand under that cold shower a little while longer, you will freeze to death. Your lips already turned blue and you look pale" he pointed out the fact that she didn't realize until then.She came out of her head which is still stuck in that basement and realized that she is indeed shivering. She is a doctor whose work is to save people. But the fact that she had to kill four people with those same hands is not something she could still come to terms with. She pulled a towel from the rack nearby and wrapped it around herse
Mia woke up when they were about to land. She noticed that Reed is still sitting opposite her reading another file. She frowned. She had a dream where she is stuck in that basement. This time those dead men whom she killed woke up and tried to kill her. But Reed came there and protected her as he helped her today. 'Strange, why did i get a weird dream like that? This Asshole would not care if i am dead or alive. The only reason why he came searching for me is because of my father. Then why is my brain imagining him as my savior? He is nothing but a judgemental asshole who thinks i am not good enough for his friend ' she thought feeling bitter.The thought of Alesso is leaving a sour taste behind. After she got engaged to Alesso, she was very loyal to him and even tried to love him. But she never felt that connection with him which she always saw between her parents and then in her brother's relationship. She was resigned to the fact that she will never find someone like that and trie
Reed walked inside the torture chamber which is dimly lit. In the center of the room, a man is tied to a chair. He is bleeding as if he has been beaten badly. His head is lolled to the side and his eyes are closed. Reed removed his jacket and folded his shirt sleeves over his forearm. He walked to the side where an aluminum table is placed on top of which are different types of torture weapons. He picked up a small knife from the table. "Wake him up" he instructed Matteo, who hastily picked up a bucket filled with ice-cold water and dumped the content on the head of the man in the center. That man gasped and coughed when the water is poured suddenly. He looked at Matteo, whom he already recognizes, and then his gaze landed on Reed, whose face is hidden by the shadows. "Oh, now you brought another man to torture me? I already told you that i don't know anything. Let me go" he snapped angrily. Matteo looked at Reed with fear. "I tried to make him spill the answers, but he refused
Mia is sitting on the beach alone. She is feeling lonely and lost. It's not because of lack of company, but the recent incidents disturbed her deeply and she couldn't seem to concentrate on anything or anyone. It's been a week since Reed dropped her off on the island. She tried to forget or at least divert her concentration from that basement, but everything failed. At the end of the day, she is depending on alcohol to numb her mind and body. Today Nero and Chloe finally brought their baby home, who was in the hospital incubator because the baby is born prematurely. Mia was so excited to see the tiny little thing, that she wanted to kiss her soft cheeks. But when she raised her hand to touch the baby, she saw that her hands are bloody, exactly like when she killed those men in that basement. Mia recoiled with shock and ran away from there, leaving a worried Chloe and Nero behind. Mia lay down on the beach on her back. The waves are crashing near her feet. After she ran away from Ne
Mia on the other hand is yet to realize how dangerous her situation was. She is angry that he slapped her."Who asked you to save me? Who said i need you to save me? You come all the time and think that i am some damsel in distress who needs you. Move your ego a little and wake up from your delusion asshole, i was fine before you came here. It's you who is disturbing my solitude" she yelled at him with anger and raised her other hand to hit him again. But he caught that hand as well and twisted it behind her back and pulled her impossibly closer to him.Their bodies are touching everywhere. Their faces are inches apart."I don't like babysitting an idiot too. But if i don't come to save your ass just now, you would have been swimming with those fishes by now" he pointed out. His lips grazed hers.Her cold body began to heat up at his proximity. As if to prove his words, a huge wave crashed onto the shore and made her off balance. She stumbled and fell over him, kissing his lips in the

Luca's mansion on the Island is buzzing with festivities. Everyone is busy with something or another thing. As the wedding day is almost upon them, the beach behind the mansion is being decorated like a new bride. The wedding decor that Emma and the others liked is being raised at a faster pace on the water near the beach. In the meanwhile, on the day before the wedding, the entire family and friends are laughing and spent a gala time during the rehearsal dinner. Everyone is happy. On the day of the wedding, Mia got ready in the wedding dress Reed specifically selected for her. "You look so beautiful, baby girl" Luca kissed her head with love. Emma wiped away her happy tears. "Now you both are ruining my makeup. Let's go, Reed is waiting for us on the Altar" Emma said with motherly love. She wiped her tears and subtly adjusted her makeup. "You don't need makeup. You always look beautiful" Luca praised his wife. Mia giggled when her mother blushed. "Looks like you both should
"No, how about this one," Chloe said pointing at one of the wedding dresses in the designer store.But Mia shook her head. She did not find anything to her liking. They have been sitting in the store for over an hour now. The store designer is showing dress after dress, but Mia did not like anything. Each dress is unique and stylish, but Mia did not find the one she feels perfect. "I feel like I might not find the perfect dress," Mia told her mom feeling sad.Emma smiled at her daughter's concern."Don't worry dear. There are many stores out there and so many other designers. If you have something in mind, we can ask the designer to make it for you" she assured."But mom, we only have one week. How can it be possible to make a dress so fast?" she shared her concern.But before Emma could reply, Reed, Alesso, and Nero strolled inside the store laughing and Joking. When Mia saw the three of them together, she became really happy. She was worried that their friendship might be strained
In Texas, After Roland flees, Sabrina is feeling confused. She doesn't know how to feel about her situation. She married the man she is in love with, but at the same time, her marriage strained her relationship with her parents. She would have preferred to stay with her parents rather than marry Marcus and make them feel like she betrayed their trust. "Here, eat this" Blade brought some food for her to eat. She looked at him blankly and didn't make any move to accept the food. He sighed heavily and placed the plate in front of her. "I don't understand women. You love my boss. Now you married him. But still, why the hell are you upset?" he asked, really confused and curious to find out what she is thinking. Sabrina pushed the plate away. "I love him, but I never wanted to go against my parents and marry him. His father insulted my parents in the worst way possible. And me? I married Marcus and lost their trust. Marcus only thought about himself. If he would have thought about me
In NY, the screams of pain echoed around the walls of the torture chamber. Reed, Nero, and Alesso took turns torturing Victor. The biker has touched their family, which made this personal. "Please, let me go" Victor begged for the hundredth time. But his plea is ignored. He is not innocent and he doesn't deserve mercy. He is bloody all over. Now he lacks all of his fingers and he has been cut open in various parts of his body."Kill me" Victor is now begging for death. He is in so much pain, that he passed out several times. But Reed made Nash inject Adrenaline injections into Victor, which forced him to stay awake."Killing you means showing mercy. If the roles are reversed, you wouldn't have shown us any mercy. You wanted to kill us all. Your death would teach everyone out there who wanted to go against us, that they shouldn't even dream about it" Alesso sneered and slashed Victor's forearm, effectively cutting a nerve.Blood gushed out of his wound, making Victor even paler. "Ahh
On the Island "Mia, I think this decor will suit you both" Emma pointed at a wedding decor from the brochure the wedding planner brought for them. Mia peeked into the brochure and their eyes sparkled with excitement. The decor her mother is showing has an altar made with upside-down flower baskets with a ceiling made of red roses, tulips, and white lotus flowers. There is a pathway in the middle which is set for the bride to walk down towards the altar, on either side of which are seating arrangements made for the guests. What is more beautiful is this, it is all made of water."Wow mom, it's so beautiful" Mia gushed. Chloe looked at the decor when she noticed how much Mia is impressed."Oh dear, this is perfect. He is like the unpredictable waves in the ocean and you are the peaceful and calm floating altar on the top. It describes you both perfectly" she said, obviously impressed by her mother-in-law's choice."Mom, you are the best" Mia hugged her mother lovingly."Looks like my w
In Texas, Marcus is in a bad mood. He is fuming with anger. His fight with Sabrina just hours after their marriage made him feel irritated and frustrated about the mess his father started. "Blade" he called for his underboss loudly. Blade rushed inside his boss's office with a hint of fear. Marcus's bad mood is like a ticking time bomb. Blade became a scapegoat more times than he would like to. "Boss, you called me?" he asked hesitantly. Marcus rubbed his temples tiredly. It was almost 12.30 in the night and Sabrina refused to come out of that room and eat anything. On top of that, her words from earlier are stinging his heart like sharp barbs. 'I never wanted to marry you ' He doesn't know if she spoke them out of anger or if she never wanted to marry him. If the second case is true, then her declaration of love for a few days doesn't make any sense. But now it's too late to mull over the what-ifs. All he could do is win her over. He decided to start that by punishing his fathe
In NY, Victor is trying to escape from the hospital before anyone could find out that he is gone. He easily reached the ground floor undetected. But he had this nagging feeling that something is wrong. Everything is too easy. He easily came this far without being stopped by anyone. What made him suspicious is that the corridors, stairs cases, and elevators are all empty. It is the middle of the night, but he should have stumbled upon someone in this huge multistorey hospital. When he reached the ground floor and began searching for the fire exit to escape, he found something black and familiar lying on the floor. "A gun? Here? Did someone lose it?" he wondered with a frown. Nonetheless, he picked up the gun and checked if it is loaded or not. "Am I truly lucky or is this something I should worry about?" he murmured to himself. But he needs this gun to protect himself. So he hid that gun under his hospital gown. He proceeded farther but stopped short when he heard someone approa
In NY, Victor gained back his conscience. As his senses began to take in his surroundings, he remembered where he was and what happened the last time he tried to escape. He sat up with a start and winced when his bruised body protested. 'No, i cannot stay here any longer. I need to escape before one of these nurses comes and finds out that i am awake ' he thought as fear began to creep down his spine and make him jittery and desperate. Slowly Victor pulled all the pipes and wires that are attached to his body. It took him a couple of seconds to get a hold of himself after his feet touched the cold hospital floor and his legs bore the weight of his body. Slowly he crept outside his room, after making sure that no one is around. But what he doesn't know is that everything is planned and they are allowing him to escape so that he can be killed soon. The nurse who sedated him and who is also working for Reed dialed Nash's number. "It's done. He is coming out from the back door now
