Chapter Seventy: My Heart Is My Armor

Lillianna’s Point of ViewI snatched up my bag and bolted out the back door, not caring where I was heading as long as it was far away from Rei's house. The thought of staying there any longer made me feel like I had a target on my back. How could I have been so foolish? Don Brzezinski had already agreed to let me go with minimal consequences, but now I wouldn't even have that when they inevitably caught me. And they would catch me - Kazimierz Brzezinski's influence stretched wide, with eyes everywhere. Despite his dangerous reputation, he was revered by all. A small group had attempted to overthrow him after his son's death, but their fate served as a warning never to challenge him again. And now I had just killed the man.Don Brzezinski's Point of ViewI hadn’t anticipated that, but I should have. I had been too trusting, thinking that Lillianna felt some kind of loyalty to me. That mistake was clearly going to cost me my life. My men had raced into the house in a panic, horrified to

Chapter Seventy-One: The Truth Always Comes Out

Xavier's Point of ViewDon Brzezinski’s voice could be clearly heard on the other line. I’d had limited interaction with him, but each was etched into my mind. He was not one to cross. Why was Kazimierz Brzezinski calling Rei? Something must have happened.Before Rei could ask me, I grabbed my phone and called Grace. I knew she would answer if it were me. I would only call if there were concerns—we’d established that.Rei looked at me strangely as I dialled my phone frantically. I suppose I did look odd moving quickly to contact my girlfriend’s best friend. But I needed to make sure the kids were safe. I needed to know Lillianna wasn’t anywhere near them.Grace's voice was laced with amusement, but I could detect hints of worry in her tone. "Xavier, why are you calling me?"“The Don just called and left a very confusing voicemail message for Rei. Are the kids safe?” I asked."Don't be ridiculous, Xavier. This house is practically impenetrable. Aamon makes sure of that." Grace scoffed,

Chapter Seventy-two: Anger and Betrayal

Rei’s Point of ViewThere have been numerous times in my life where I believed that I couldn't possibly be any angrier than I was at that moment. The first was when I discovered my ex-husband's infidelity. The second was when Greg made the decision to abandon me and our children, claiming we no longer fit into his life and he didn't love us anymore. But this... this consumed me with rage. I focused on taking deep breaths, attempting to reign in the intense anger that was ready to consume me.Xavier was handing me a helmet and gesturing for me to put it on.

Chapter Seventy-three: The Weight of Goodbye

Shiloh’s Point of ViewAunt Grace had always been the calm and reliable one in our family, but now she appeared frazzled and fearful. Even her boyfriend, our uncle, seemed terrified. They were trying to hide their fear from us kids, but we were more perceptive than they realized. We could read their body language and hear the tension in their voices. Despite their attempts to shield us, Onyx, Salem, and I could sense that something was very wrong. We may have been young but we weren’t oblivious to the situation.My great-grandfather was shot and is currently hospitalized. We were on our way to meet him. Instead of riding in Aamon's vehicle, we were in a larger SUV with some intimidating men who seemed to be guards. At least, that's what we assumed, but none of us dared to ask. The tension in the vehicle was almost suffocating. Grace's eyes kept flicking towards Aamon as we raced towards the hospital. My brothers and I were squished onto the back seat while Grace sat in one of the seats

Chapter Seventy-four: Whispers Between Worlds

Don Brzezinski’s Point of ViewAs I savoured my coffee, I reclined in my chair and observed the young man before me, who professed his love for my granddaughter. X claimed that he was simply keeping me company until Rei could arrive to meet me. The coffee was good, and surprisingly, so was the conversation. X was a fascinating young man and, from what I could tell, a good match for my granddaughter. He told me they had been friends and then much more over the last ten years. X shared funny anecdotes of Rei’s life that I had not known otherwise, and I could tell from the sparkle in his eye as he spoke of her that my granddaughter was his world.Rei had never truly moved on from Greg Ravenscroft. That bastard wanted her for all the wrong reasons. I should have put my foot down and forbidden them to be married, but my granddaughter seemed so in love with the idiot. He did give her three beautiful, exceptional children, though. Shiloh, with her patience, keen observation, and gentle heart,

Chapter Seventy-five: Heart Made of Glass, Mind of Stone

Xavier’s Point of ViewI parked as close as I could to the hospital’s entrance. Being on a motorcycle made it much easier to find a spot. We quickly dismounted and raced inside, entering the elevator and running down the hallway once we’d gotten to the floor Don Brzezinski’s room was on. There was a heavy police and enforcement presence as we raced down the hall, and I realized that they were present not only to keep the Brzezinski family safe but also to keep an eye out for Lillianna.Rei hadn’t said a word to me the entire time and refused to look me in the eye. I hoped she could hold it together in front of the kids and not lose it on Aamon and Grace before meeting her grandfather. Somehow, I knew without a doubt that Don Brzezinski was waiting for her. It was his granddaughter who he was waiting to say goodbye to.Salem's voice filled the hospital room as Rei hurriedly entered. Shiloh held onto her grandfather's hand while Onyx stood behind them, serious and focused. Salem had alre

Chapter Seventy-six: Lethal Connections and Last Goodbyes in Chaos

Ethan’s Point of ViewI stared at my phone in disbelief after Kaz hung up. We’d known each other for years, and I believed that, in many ways, he was one of my dearest friends. I know that professionally, that was crossing a line and that his line of work was more than questionable, but the man had a good heart and wanted the best for his family and community. It was always through that lens that Kaz Brzezinski operated.His last request was for me to find Lillianna and keep Rei safe at all costs. I would do that for my dear friend and Xavier. I prayed that he had been able to reach Aamon and that Kaz’s men got him to the hospital on time. Lillianna was more dangerous than we’d given her credit for, and our lack of awareness may have cost the life of a great man.I reached out to the contact who had been working discreetly for Aamon. I would need her help with this. I did not need to concern myself with her payment; that was taken care of by Aamon. But I needed her help tracking down L

Chapter Seventy-seven: Bitchy Plans and Burned Bridges

Lillianna’s Point of ViewI ran until I couldn’t anymore and then found somewhere I could sit, out of sight, safely. Thankfully, I had thought to grab my bag and hang onto my gun as I fled. No one followed me. Which was surprising until I realized how much I had caught everyone off guard. They’d never expected me to be able to get rid of two of the Brzezinski family’s enforcers or take out the Don. Now that I had calmed myself down with all that running, I could think more clearly.I needed to stay one step ahead of them. Use the training I’d been given and my knowledge of the inner workings of the small-town mafia with global reach. They would expect me to go to the gang for protection. Not just them, but Emmanuel would as well. As much as I enjoyed my pleasure and pain experience with him and the boys, it wasn’t worth the risk I would take going to him for protection and a safe place to stay. It would be the first place that anyone would look for me.There was one place I could go th

Chapter Seventy-eight: A Night on the Lanes, A Twist in the Mind

Alex’s Point of View“I can’t believe she cancelled on me at the last minute!” I exclaimed as Tom drove us to the bowling alley.“Chloe is always cancelling me at the last minute. I used to get upset until she thanked me for my understanding later,” Tom grinned.“That made it better? How?” I asked, annoyed, while Matt snorted with laughter in the background.“Shit man. I didn’t think Lillianna broke you, but now I’m starting to wonder,” Tom groaned.What was that supposed to mean?“Didn’t you date Sam when you were in university?” Tom asked.“Yeah, why? We’re just friends now, which you know, and besides Matt is awesome for her. I’m glad you two hooked up, by the way,” I added.It sounded like I was sucking up, and maybe I was but Matt made Sam really happy. Sam was also much nicer when she was happy. I wanted them to stay together as long as possible for that reason alone.We were headed to a bowling alley with a retro vibe. Tom and Matt had planned to hang out tonight and invited me

Chapter Seventy-nine: The Unraveling Truth

Rei’s Point of View“I think … I think he’s left the building,” Salem said sadly.My youngest son slowly slid off the bed and didn’t run to me. Salem ran to Xavier, who picked him up gently and held him while my son sobbed in his arms.We all stood there, frozen, not quite sure what to do. The only one who seemed able to process and release any emotion was the youngest in the room, with a larger-than-life personality.My heart, which was already broken, shattered further. I didn’t think it was possible to hurt even more than I already was. I was tired of being so strong. I didn’t want to be strong anymore.I’ve got you. Be strong for the kids. Just for now, Rei. Let me give you the strength you need. I didn’t understand why I felt X’s presence so strongly now, but it enveloped me like a warm embrace, making me feel safe and secure. This feeling helped me resist the pull of despair that surrounded me. I knew I couldn’t explain it, but his presence was enough. Maybe I was going insane,
