Chapter 71

Quinn’s POVI wake up in an unfamiliar bed in a room I’ve never seen before. It’s nearly double the size of my childhood bedroom—and half again as big as the one I share with Dante.“Where the fuck am I?”I move to sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed, but the second I try to stand, I’m hit with a wave of dizziness and have to sit back down, cradling my head. What the hell did Pablo give me?Suddenly, my hands fly to my stomach. The baby. Please be okay.How would I even know? Am I seriously about to tell my kidnapper I’m pregnant—before telling my husband—just to make sure the baby is alright?I’m so freaked out I work myself into needing to vomit. Luckily, the bathroom door is wide open. I bolt off the bed, stumbling into the room just in time.When the dry heaves finally stop, I collapse on the floor, dazed and sweating.What do I do?How do I make sure my baby is okay?I flush the toilet, drag myself to the sink, and splash cold water on my face. There’s a full set

Chapter 72

“W-w-what are you doing here?” I stammer, frozen in the entryway of the dining room.I’m not even sure who I’m speaking to—my father or Gabriele.What the actual hell is happening? Did… did Gabriele kidnap me? Did my father?Why are they standing here together?They’ve hated each other for as long as I can remember. Even when Gabriele and I were together, my father only ever spoke to him with thinly veiled disgust, and Gabriele looked at my father like he was a bug beneath his shoe.The only reason they tolerated each other was me… and the threat of Don Reina’s power.I’ve known Gabriele since I was a kid with pigtails and braces. I’ve never been afraid of him.Until now.Not until I saw that possessive look on his face—his eyes raking over the barely-there dress someone put me in like I was his.My father turns away, sighing heavily. “You couldn’t have put her in something I could actually look at my daughter in?”“She’s mine now,” Gabriele replies, voice soaked in lust. “I’ll dress

Chapter 73

“You sold me. To wipe away gambling debt and screw over the biggest mafia family in town. To a man I don’t even know anymore. That’s what you’re telling me?”I can’t even look at Gabriele right now. The fear clawing its way through my veins is too much.I don’t know what he’s been through since he left, but whatever happened, it’s changed him. The way he looks at me… it’s not love. It’s not lust. It’s ownership.That’s what prey must feel like before a predator pounces.An overwhelming need to run—paired with the certainty you won’t make it far.So I turn to my father, clinging to the last thread of hope that this is all an elaborate lie. That he didn’t really give me to someone who’d slit his throat as easily as he’d shake his hand.But the blank stare he gives me? It tells me everything.“I thought this was preferable to the previous arrangement you believed we had,” he says, emotionless. “Though I will say—you got Luciano Jr. wrapped around your finger faster than I thought possible

Chapter 74

I can’t stand being in this room any longer.Since Gabriele locked me in here again, the only person I’ve seen is Rebecca—once to bring my food, once to pick up the empty tray. I ate every bite. Passing out while trying to escape won’t do me or my baby any favors.My hand instinctively rests over my stomach.Two things are clear:I have to get to Dante and warn him about the danger to his family.To do that, I have to get the hell out of here. Now.Calling from inside the house is too risky. I’d be out in the open too long. No—I need keys. A car. I can call from a gas station or diner on the road.All I need is an exit.People think rich kids are polished little angels in designer shoes, but we’re still teenagers. We still do dumb shit. I went through my rebellious phase like everyone else—especially dating Gabriele in high school. I learned a lot of things my father would’ve disapproved of.One of them was how to pick a lock.It’s a skill I never lost. And looking at the lock on this

Chapter 76

Dante’s POV“What do you mean the Don of the Reina family is your father’s best friend?”You’d think with as much rage as I’m feeling, I’d be screaming. But I’m not.My voice is low. Quiet. Almost… calm.I think I’m in shock.Stefan grips the edge of the marble counter, knuckles white. He looks like a man about to jump off a cliff. Like he knows his next words could start a war.He takes a breath and begins.“My father and Giuseppe Reina served in the Army together. They were just kids—barely out of high school. My dad didn’t come from money. His father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. His mom worked in a grocery store. If he wanted college, the military was the only ticket.“Giuseppe… you probably know, he was the second son. Much younger than his brother. That brother was groomed to take over the family business. Giuseppe? He was an afterthought. Spoiled, wild. Drugs. Booze. Fights with rival families.“Eventually, his father gave him a choice: clean up in the military or get cut of

Chapter 77

Dante’s POVI’ll say this for my father—when shit hits the fan, he handles it like a fucking pro.He’d been beyond pissed when I told him everything Stefan said. Livid when I got to Pablo. And once I laid out how sure I was that the Reinas were behind it?He was already making calls.Within an hour, he rang me back. “Last place Julian Rothschild was spotted? Plainridge Park Casino. Owner’s some distant cousin of your mother’s side. Guy’s eager to help—already pulled the security footage. Said he’d even bring in the waitress and poker dealer Julian was chatting up. You just have to get there.”Josiah plugs the address into the GPS while Emilio drives. We knew Massachusetts was the farthest lead. Now we have a bullseye.“We’ll be there in two and a half hours,” Josiah says. “You got a spot we can interrogate him?”“I’m texting it to you now. Want me to have the employees meet you there?” my father asks.“Only if it won’t scare the shit out of them. Otherwise, send your contact’s number—I

Chapter 78

Quinn’s POVIt’s been a week. Seven days of hell in a silk cage.Everything feels like some fucked-up version of Groundhog Day. Same four walls. Same creeping dread. Same predator circling closer.An hour after Pablo was killed, they swept his body away like it was a spilled drink. A doctor arrived not long after to check on me. I was badly bruised, but not far enough along for the baby to be harmed.The confirmation of my pregnancy sent Gabriele into a rage. He stormed out, slamming the bedroom door so hard it cracked the frame. The knob hit the wall with enough force to dent it.I was so afraid he’d come back and take that fury out on me—or worse, on the baby—that I dragged a chair under the doorknob and locked myself in the bathroom, pushing a table up against the door.At one point in the night, I heard the knob rattle. The scrape of the chair as pressure pushed it forward. But the barricade held.He could’ve broken in if he’d wanted. He didn’t. Thank God.The next morning, Rebe

Chapter 79

Dante’s POVWe knew it was the Reinas. We knew from interrogating Julian. From the GPS ping in his car, the hotel stays, the wandering path that stretched a hundred miles north into Vermont.We knew Pablo was fucking with our shipments, dirtying up the books.We knew everything—except the one thing that mattered. Where Quinn was.“Get back here to the city,” my father commands over the phone.“No!” I snap. “We’re close, Padre. Too close to walk away now. We’ll track her from Julian’s stops. I can’t just leave her here. God only knows what that psycho Reina will do to her!”I’ve never defied my father. Not when he arranged the marriage. Not when he told me to step into a life I didn’t ask for. But this?This I will fight for.There’s silence on the other end. Then, softly:“I’ve called for a meeting with Giuseppe. He agreed.” A pause. “If you leave now, you’ll make it back in time. He’ll lead us to Gabriele. And then we get Quinn back.”I stare at the floor. My throat tightens.“

Chapter 80

Quinn’s POV I’m woken up by a frantic Gabriele shaking my arm. He must have used a key to get into the room because I definitely locked the door before I went to sleep last night. “Quinn! Wake up! You have to get dressed. Now!” He’s nearly screaming and I can easily see the panic in his eyes. “W-what?” I ask prying my eyes open. “What’s going on?” “They know where we are. We only have a little while before they get here. And we need to be long gone before that,” he says, wrenching the blankets off of me and pulls my arm to get me out of bed. I nearly fall to the floor with the force of his pulling on me and my general lack of coordination since I just woke up. “Gabriele! Calm the fuck down! You’re going to hurt me. Who knows where we are? Who’s coming?” I ask. I try to temper my hope that he’s talking about Dante. It could be tons of different people. I don’t want to get my hopes up only for them to be dashed by
