91 | "What's gotten into you?"

Grandpa Edgar had tried to keep his anger in check. He had tried to be patient and wait for Ronin and Carmen to plan their course of action after learning about the individuals behind the attacks on Ronin and Willow. However, by the time the next morning arrived, he couldn’t contain it. His anger and frustration had spiked through the roof, and no amount of blood pressure pills could calm him down. Joy, the driver, had tried to talk the old man out of his intended course of action, but being merely a servant, he couldn’t reason beyond his place. In the end, he nodded his head and drove his master to the address he knew all too well. Seven years ago, Edgar had transferred this property to one of his sons as a birthday gift. However, on that day, as he stepped into the elevator and waited for the lift to open to the only penthouse in the building, he felt as if he had failed so terribly in raising his kids. Well, one of them, technically. The mo

92 |“Wanna go another round?”

Carmen woke up in the middle of the night, wide awake. She turned her head to look at the other side of the bed and found Ronin sound asleep. A small smile tugged at her lips, and her body hummed with outright satisfaction. She bit her lip, unable to believe what they had done. Although, after what Ronin had put her through—all the sweet torture that had her body writhing beneath him—she was rather sure the evidence of the previous night still oozed from inside her. The thought of him thrusting into her made her face burn with hot awkwardness, especially when she could still taste the heavy scent of sex in the air. Carmen whipped her gaze back to the ceiling, trying to calm down the sudden spike in her heartbeat. She couldn’t help but scoff at their fate. At the time when they were married and had every chance to be a happy couple, they couldn’t even bring themselves to exist in the same room. And now, when there was nothing to hold them toget

93 | “It can't be a coincidence, right?”

The drive to the hospital was rushed and unnerving.Carmen couldn’t sit straight, always shifting and finding her gaze running to Ronin. He seemed to have taken a spot behind the steering wheel, not trusting the driver to go fast enough for them to reach the hospital as soon as possible.She knew Ronin and Grandpa shared a special bond, so if there was anyone hit the hardest by the news about Grandpa, it had to be Ronin. She felt terrible for him, seeing him gripping the steering wheel tight enough to turn his knuckles pale.She had tried to talk to him, to assure him and convince him to relax. But Ronin, as if lost in his own head, merely replied with a hum or a nod. That’s all she got from him during the entire drive, and as soon as they reached the hospital and he parked the car, he took off without even waiting for her.Carmen didn’t mind. She knew he was worried. She was worried too.She rushed after Ronin as he hustled throu

94 | “Is there anything else?”

Carmen found Joy in the parking lot. She had tried to call him several times, but it never went through. And when she did manage to get in touch with him, his voice was nothing but a crackle of static electricity.With the pressing need to know what happened that morning that led Grandpa to be in such a critical situation, Carmen ended up texting him, wanting to see him urgently.To her huge relief, her phone pinged with a new text in no time. It was from Joy. He wanted her to meet him at the parking lot.The sun glared down at her, causing her to flinch as she approached him waiting by the car. “What happened to your phone?” she asked him.Joy shrugged and took out a battered phone from his pocket. Several cracks on the screen could be seen. There was no way that thing worked anymore. He looked at the phone with pure longing. “Ah, well, it’s a long story.”There was no doubt about that.“Anyway,” he

95 | "Does this contact have a name?”

“Look, Johnny. I don’t care how much money it takes; just get me the hell out of this state,” James barked into the phone, brows deeply furrowed as he sat in the passenger seat and watched his nephew drive.“I’m doing my best, Logan boy!” Johnny’s voice came from the other side, not sounding happy. “It’s not my fault my contact is out of reach. He must be on some business; else, he wouldn’t ignore my calls.”“Don’t mess with me! Just get me the damn ticket out of this place. I’m on my way to the club.” Disconnected.Eric, who had been listening to the entire conversation, adjusted his hands on the steering wheel. “Is there some problem?”“Nothing you need to care about.” James snapped.But Eric didn’t like the tone. He scowled. “You know what? You can either ask people to do your shit nicely, or you can just go and screw you

96 | "How long do we have to wait, Aunt Will?”

Carmen and Ronin stood in front of the warehouse, watching the old structure burn.Several men and women had crowded around the property while the cops and firefighters tried to get the raging fire under control.“If there was anything that could be used against him, it’s probably burnt to a crisp by now,” Ronin sighed, furious that he did not see this coming.James Logan had been part of their family since an unknown time. He was a Logan by blood, a man he trusted beyond any reasonable doubt. But looking at what he had done—all the chaos he had made out of their lives—and the wrongs he did to their family, he felt beyond enraged.Carmen felt his pain and surprise. She held his hand and linked their fingers. “We’ll find something for sure. Don’t lose hope.”He shook his head, his eyes growing darker. “I just want to hear it from his mouth that he was the one who hurt Willow. I have to know

97 | "Well, isn't it obvious?”

Carmen took in a deep breath and willed herself to be prepared for the showdown.It had to be the end, right? Her mother had managed to prevent James from disappearing and was now waiting for them so they could get the answers to all their questions. Forget about how she managed to do that in that short amount of time; the only thing that mattered was that she was able to do it. Now, they were this close to bringing this whole chaos to an end.Carmen looked to her right and gave a gentle squeeze to Ronin’s thigh. He looked so focused on driving them to the address her mother had provided that even the slight physical contact made him tense.“You can talk to me, Ronin,” she said to him, hoping he would share his thoughts instead of stewing alone. “You don’t have to keep everything inside anymore.”At her words, Ronin visibly relaxed. His shoulders unwound—albeit a little—as he let out a heavy sigh. He kept hi

98 | "Why are you defending him?”

Ronin stood outside the club, his breath shaky. He felt sick—so damn sick.He knew Eric hated him. He had accepted the fact—had convinced himself that they would never be the same. But this… what he did to Willow… how could Eric even live with something like that? Did his hands not shake when he made Willow bleed? Did his heart not rip out of his chest, seeing her in so much pain? How? How could someone do that to their own family? He failed to understand. He simply couldn’t wrap his head around it.He looked up at the sky and felt just as dark and barren from the inside. It just… nothing made sense. His chest felt packed with a kind of emotion that threatened to make his bones crack. His head ached, his temples burned, and his shoulders felt depleted.“This is a nightmare,” he mumbled to himself, running a hand through his hair and barely suppressing the need to scream. Unshed tears burned his eyes as he tried

99 | "Do you know how worried I have been?"

Eric wasn’t sure what his next course of action should be, but one thing he knew—whatever it was, he would have to do it sooner rather than later.After he saw Diana and Simon entering the club, there was no doubt in his mind that they were after James—and that only meant that they were after him. Perhaps Carmen had asked for Diana’s help. Why else would Diana be interested in James? Or maybe it was Grandpa. That old man sure had secrets of his own.Not that it was time to be concerned about those.If Diana got to James, he would spill the beans. And if he knew Eric abandoned him at such a crucial hour, he would surely do something stupid and turn all the blame on him.Shit. The fucker was untrustworthy from the start. Why did he ever believe a word he said? How could he land himself in such a mess, especially when he had been so careful?Shit. Shit. Shit.No. He would have to think of something. An

100 | "But you don't believe him, do you?

Carmen squeezed her hands, waiting for her heart to calm down. After receiving the call from Eric, she had been nervous beyond what could be considered rational. Her thoughts were running rampant, and despite Ronin’s assurance that he would take care of everything, she had her suspicions. It just felt really odd for Eric to call her and summon them to such a remote location. What was he planning to do? Why didn’t he call Ronin himself? Did he think she would be easier to get through, or did he have something else entirely in his mind? God, she felt terribly sick simply thinking about the outcome of this meeting with Eric. She didn’t want to think of the worst, but so much had already happened that now every thought that entered her mind didn’t seem impossible. She just hoped Ronin and she would make it out of this mess alive. Alive and unscathed. “Are you alright?” Ronin asked as he turned off the car and glance
