91: Out For Blood

Mateo’s POVFour days.Four days since that little bitch stabbed me and ran off with that bastard Cole Greyson. Four days since I sat in that goddamn chair, blood dripping from my hand, while my own men stood there like idiots, too stunned to react.I should’ve shot her. Should’ve grabbed her by that pretty throat and squeezed until there wasn’t an ounce of defiance left in those sharp, angry eyes. But I didn’t. I had let her slip away, and now…now, I was going to make her pay.Pain pulsed through my hand as the doctor unwrapped the bandage, inspecting the wound with a careful touch. I barely felt it. The rage burning inside me was hotter, sharper, more unbearable than the throbbing in my flesh."You're healing well, sir," the doctor muttered, dabbing antiseptic over the stitched-up hole in my hand.I didn't answer.I stared straight ahead, jaw clenched, mind already a thousand miles away. The doctor was nothing but background noise, a useless presence in a room that reeked of medicin

92: The Call

Cole’s POVThe phone buzzed in my hand.Daniel’s voice came through the second I answered. “It’s Vasquez. He’s on Richard Hart’s neck. Hard.”I leaned against the railing of the villa’s balcony, my gaze fixed on Emily in the distance. She stood near the shoreline, her arms crossed, hair whipping in the salty breeze as the waves crashed against the sand. She looked calm, too calm…but I knew better. Beneath that stillness was a storm.“Talk,” I said, my voice edged with steel.Daniel didn’t hesitate. “Vasquez is furious. He blames Emily for everything. The betrayal…he’s losing his grip, and he’s desperate to get her back under control.” He exhaled sharply. “He’s sworn to get her by all means.”My jaw tightened. The muscles in my face flexed as a sharp wave of anger ran through me.That bastard.Emily wasn’t a toy. She wasn’t some possession Vasquez could reclaim. She had broken free from his control, and he couldn’t stand it. The thought of her choosing her own path, choosing me…it drov

93: Nightmare

Emily's POV.A strange coldness settled over my skin. The air was thick, like I was inhaling smoke, yet I saw no fire.I was inside a house. No, not just any house…it was weird.The walls were way too high, swallowing the light, leaving me in an endless corridor of darkness. Doors lined both sides, shut tight, their golden handles gleaming under the lighting above. My stomach twisted. Because something felt odd about it.I took a step forward. The neat marble floor was colder than ice against my bare feet. My breath hitched. Why was I here? I had escaped. I had run as far as I could. Cole had taken me away. This isn't real.But then, a sound. A deep, amused chuckle.My blood ran cold.“You still walk like you own the world, princesa.”His voice slithered into my ears, sending a shiver down my spine. I turned sharply, my heart hammering against my ribs.Mateo Vasquez sat in a chair at the far end of the hallway, his legs crossed, a crystal glass in his hand. The liquid inside swayed as

94: Attacked By A Bear

Emily’s POVThe woods were quiet, only the soft crunch of leaves beneath our boots breaking the silence. The sun had barely started dipping behind the trees, reflecting long streaks of gold between the branches. The air smelled fresh, like damp earth and pine, and for the first time in days, I felt like I could actually breathe.Cole walked beside me, his hands in his jacket pockets, his eyes scanning the trees like he was waiting for something to jump out. Always on edge. Always watching. It should have been annoying, but it wasn’t. Not when I knew why."You know," I said, stuffing my hands into my hoodie, "you don't have to babysit me twenty-four seven."Cole shot me a look, a half-smirk pulling at his lips. "I'm not babysitting you, Emily.""Sure," I deadpanned. "You just happen to be glued to my side at all times?"He didn't answer, but his smirk deepened.I rolled my eyes and kept walking, kicking a rock out of my path. Truth was, I liked having him here. After everything, after

95: Unexpected Visit From Her Father

Emily’s POVThe cabin smelled like damp wood and old dust, the kind of scent that clung to the air after a long rain. A single lantern was on the nightstand, its light was weak over the room. The floorboards creaked beneath my bare feet as I moved, the old wooden walls doing little to keep out the cold that seeped through the cracks.Cole sat on the edge of the worn-out bed, his shirt discarded on the floor, leaving his torso bare. The gash on his side stretched across his ribs, an ugly, jagged wound that sent a sick feeling rolling through my stomach. Blood had dried in uneven patches across his tanned skin, but fresh crimson still oozed from the deeper parts, trailing down toward his waistband.I knelt beside him, forcing my hands to stay steady as I dug through the first-aid kit. The scent of alcohol filled my nose as I ripped open a packet of wipes."You should’ve let me handle it," I muttered, my voice tight with frustration.Cole huffed out a low laugh, but his jaw was tight, hi

96: The Plan

Cole’s POVThe air inside the cabin felt heavy, charged with something I couldn’t shake. It wasn’t fear…no, that was something I’d left behind a long time ago. This was something else. The calmness before the storm. The knowledge that, by this time tomorrow, everything would change.I sat at the wooden table, my phone pressed to my ear as I listened to a low, gravelly voice on the other end. A man I trusted, but only to a certain extent. In this world, trust had limits."Mateo isn’t where you think he is," the voice said. "He’s moving around. Paranoid. That little stunt you pulled must’ve rattled him."Good. That meant we were getting under his skin. I let out a slow exhale, running a hand down my face. Emily sat across from me, arms crossed, watching me like a hawk. Her foot tapped against the floor, a restless rhythm that told me she was barely holding onto her patience.I leaned forward, elbows on the table. "I don’t care if he’s paranoid. I want his exact location before sunrise."

97: Change Of Plan

Cole’s POV.I couldn't get any sleep after being intimate with Emily. I was still up, staring at my phone, the screen glowing in the cabin light. A message. Just two words."He knows."My jaw clenched.For a second, I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. My mind ran through every possibility. Every way this could have happened. We’d been careful…meticulous, even. No leaks, no loose ends. And yet, somehow, Mateo was a step ahead.I shut my eyes briefly, forcing my pulse to slow. I needed to think. Fast.The air in the cabin suddenly felt too thick, the walls too close. I pushed up from the chair, grabbing my jacket off the back of it and stepping outside. The cold night air hit me instantly, sharp and unforgiving, but I welcomed it. It kept me grounded. Kept my mind from spiraling.The trees around the cabin swayed slightly in the breeze, their branches casting long shadows under the moonlight. It was dead quiet out here, the kind of silence that felt unnatural…like the whole forest was holdin

98: Taken Away

Emily's POVThe second Cole left, the room felt different. It wasn’t anything obvious…nothing in the cabin had actually changed. The furniture was still where it was. The fire still crackled in the small fireplace. The faint scent of burning wood and old pine still hung in the air. But the energy? That had shifted completely.It felt heavier. Tighter. Like the walls had moved in just a little, enough to make my skin itch.Cole’s men weren’t exactly making it any better. They weren’t talking. Hell, they weren’t even looking at me unless they had to. One of them stood stiff by the door, arms crossed over his chest like he was guarding something priceless. The other, leaner but just as intense, kept glancing out the window every few seconds, his fingers twitching near his gun.I exhaled, dragging my fingers through my hair, then leaned back into the worn-out couch. "You guys always this fun, or is this just special treatment for me?"Silence.Buzz-cut guy at the door didn’t even blink. H

99: Meeting With Mateo

Emily’s POVThe van lurched to a stop, jerking my body forward. My hands, still bound behind my back, strained against the rough rope cutting into my wrists. My shoulders ached from being in the same position for too long, and my head was still foggy from whatever they had drugged me with earlier. I clenched my fists, flexing my fingers to get some blood flow back.The back doors creaked open, and the sharp scent of gasoline and damp concrete hit me. It was dark outside, the only light coming from flickering streetlamps and the glow of a distant neon sign. Warehouse. Predictable. These kinds of men always picked the same dingy, abandoned places, like they had some unspoken rule about keeping things as cliché as possible.A voice cut through the silence. "Get her out."A pair of rough hands grabbed my arm, yanking me forward. My feet hit the ground hard, knees buckling slightly before I steadied myself. The men surrounding me were armed, their fingers twitching near their weapons. Thei

100: The Death Of Richard Hart

Emily’s POVThe sound of the gunshot still rang in my ears, but my brain struggled to process what had just happened.My father…Richard Hart…lay sprawled on the cold concrete floor. Blood spread from his chest, soaking into his once-neat suit. His eyes were open, but there was no life left in them.He was dead.I stared at his body, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps. My chest felt tight, like something heavy had settled on top of it, making it impossible to breathe.A strange, choking noise left my throat before I realized it was me.Mateo chuckled, spinning the gun on his finger before handing it back to one of his men. "Well, that was dramatic," he muttered, wiping his hands on his pants like Richard’s death had somehow dirtied them.My head snapped up."You…" My voice cracked, raw with fury. "You son of a bitch!"Mateo barely spared me a glance. "Oh, don’t act like you cared, Emily. The man treated you like trash your whole life."I jerked forward, but the ropes held me back.
