191: Frantic

Damien's been staring at the ceiling for over an hour.He retreats into his shell whenever he's going through something particularly difficult, I've noticed this about a hundred times. I don't know how to reach him and I'm not sure he wants me to. Gary's death got to him, I can't imagine what it must have been like for him to see his old friend dead on his desk, bleeding all over the place. The best thing I can do is give him space to digest this.I wish I could do something, anything to contribute, but I won't try to help. I don't want to get into more trouble and have him pay for my mistakes and my stubbornness. That has happened too many times already and I almost died. He could've died trying to save me, too.I want to talk to him, to hold him. My hands are itching to reach out to him, but he hasn't said a word since we walked inside this room and I don't know what to say to make him feel better.

192: Kick

Damien knows that he shouldn't have come alone.He has Howie with him, and Roger. A few others. They're outnumbered, though. What will he do if there's trouble? Every man he brought here with him will die and everything he fought for will go right down the drain. He glances at Howie, who gulps audibly. Why's he so fucking nervous? He's hiding something. There's something he isn't saying, and Damien realizes now that everything he said doesn't add up.He showed up earlier at the apartment with a message from one of his associates. Am urgent meeting concerning Juan Consuelos. Apparently, he did something and they needed to get together and discuss it. Sweat was trickling down the side of his face as he relayed the message, but Damien didn't make much of it. He didn't even think to question him. Why wasn't he called personally? Where was the messenger? Why were they meeting at the Den? No one ever goes there anymore. He never bothered to ask what Juan did.He should've asked. He really s

193: Eye-Opening

Damien watches a group of men gather around Sebastian.Once again, he's outnumbered. When Sebastian called him earlier offering to help him kill Juan, he was surprised. He never thought he'd receive that kind of call from a Brown. Despite their conflicts, he accepted the offer. Sebastian had a plan in mind and together they'd get rid of him, but that all went down the drain when Howie led them to this place. Now that he thinks of it, perhaps he overestimated Juan's capabilities. He shouldn't have sent that text to Sebastian giving him their location. He would have been able to deal with the matter himself.Now, Sebastian is here with all these men. He could easily overpower them. Juan's dead—Sebastian killed him—so their deal is sealed. He did his part, so there's nothing stopping him from killing Damien now.Sebastian looks up with a knowing smile. "You're a little pale, Damien. You look scared.""Do I?"He chuckles, but the sound lacks mirth. "You think I'm going to kill you, don't

194: Cutting Ties

Sebastian Brown killed Elizabeth's brother.I would never have guessed that, not in a million years. That he'd call Damien and offer his help, that he'd show up when Damien sent him that text. It's surreal. This whole thing started because of the animosity towards each other and in the end, they put their differences aside and worked together to get rid of Juan Consuelos.Even Ethan is speechless and he always has something to say."Well," Theo begins. "I'm glad that all worked out."There's more. He received news that Elizabeth's family are leaving Los Angeles. They've given up on their mission to kill Damien. Juan was the head of the entire operation and without him, nothing is the same.He's different. I couldn't help but notice that something happened to him. It's like killing Juan lifted his spirits. I'm not sure of how I can explain it. It's a good change. I've never seen this side of him, but I hope I'll see more of it. He kissed me before he left and my lips are still tingling

196: Prophesied

It's over.Damien couldn't quite believe his eyes when he received the encrypted letter from Herbert telling him that everyone wanted to get together and resolve this once and for all. He anticipated this, but he wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.Everything will go back to normal, he can't wait for that to happen. He can go back to managing his businesses, in fact he plans on moving back to The Lounge as soon as possible.

197: Pointless

Ethan can't believe that he's finally doing this.He checks the rear-view mirror for the tenth time in thirty minutes. He wants to make sure that he isn't being followed. He knows how Damien can be, especially when it concerns their safety. He didn't give any specifics and he's certain that his brother's trying to figure out what the hell is going on.He'll never guess, though.He grips the steering wheel and keeps his eyes in the road ahead. It's a long drive, but worth it. He needs to get everything off his chest in order to move on, there's no going around it. He's been living with this shit his entire life. He never felt wanted and that's something everyone around him—including Damien—takes for granted. Of course he wouldn't relate, he wasn't the one who grew up with Jasper for a fucking brother and those assholes for parents. He didn't know what it was like living with them, sensing how much they despised him but not knowing why.The truth is he'd always been comfortable at his u

198: Ready

"I already told you," Theo says once again. "I really have no idea where he is. He didn't tell me anything about leaving, I'm as surprised as you are."Damien runs his fingers through his hair. "Why would he leave without warning? No one has any idea of where he could've gone?""Why didn't you question him?" Theo asks."All he said was that he'd be back in a couple of days, he didn't say anything else. You know how he is."I watch them with my lips sealed shut. If they don't know about Ethan's whereabouts, I have no clue. I'm the last person in the world who'd know. It is strange, though. It's strange to me that he'd leave without telling anyone a thing, especially after everything they went through the last few weeks. He's unaccompanied too."His phone isn't off," Theo comments. "That's a good thing, right? He's just ignoring our calls. He spoke to Penelope and he told her he's fine. He didn't tell her anything, but he promised to explain later. Maybe we're just exaggerating."Damien

199: Fire

We arrive at the place.It's a small house in an average neighborhood, the last place anyone would look. Anyone would assume that he'd be living in one of the best neighborhoods, but Ferdinand's smart. Damien's smarter, though. Thanks to that man, Colton, we're finally going to get rid of him.I'm a little dizzy. I was sure I wanted to do it, but now I'm having second thoughts. I know this is just my fear talking, there's nothing he can do to me while Damien is by my side. He squeezes my hand and I don't know how he felt that I needed the encouragement. I follow him out of the car and stare at the white house. There's a lawn and some rose bushes, a few daisies. I wonder if this is some kind of sick joke. If anything, it strengthens my resolve.Damien brought along reinforcement. I know I should be focused, but I can't help but think of Theo all alone in that apartment. We never even told her we were leaving, we just left. I hope she goes straight to bed, it'll save her the disappointm

200: Fright

Damien had to stop by the office to grab some things.I'm in the car, trying not to think about Ferdinand. Whenever I do, I feel like throwing up. I'm relieved that he's finally dead—and he is dead—but the scene was too gruesome for me. It was different when I saw those other men die, including Trevor. I don't know how, but it is. I blink again and try not to think about it. I thought watching him for would solve everything, but it's only made things worse.He returns after half an hour. His eyes are one the entire time. They're filled with concern. He asks, "Are you alright?""I'm fine," I say. I'm not fine, but that doesn't matter. He solved the problem, this shouldn't be happening. I should be fine.He calls my name. "Amelia.""I'm fine," I repeat. "I've just had a long day. I want to go home. I need to sleep this awful night away."He tells Roger to drive and he wraps an arm around my shoulder. I lean against him. I'm lightheaded and I'm struggling to stay awake. I don't want him
