~Viviana~
“The fuck,” I whispered in disbelief. That guy is taking things too far.
“I slapped him, of course, but still. Dios mío, I can’t imagine what Mateo will do.”
“Oh,” I knew things were going well with her and Mateo, and I hoped he would teach Camilo a lesson, but I’m certain that Mateo will end up wringing Camilo’s neck if he learns about this.
“God, you’re shaking. I think you should go home,” I suggested, seeing that she was in no shape to work anymore.
“We’re already short on staff,” she shook her head.
“I’ll tell David what Camilo did to you. He’ll understand.”

~Viviana~ Instead of listening to the anxious pitter-patter of my heart, I focused on the slow hum of the ceiling fan and the humid air sweeping from the open window. I’ve run my fingers on the lily printed coverlet over and over as I waited for Roman. I could hear the hushed echo of his voice, but making out his words was impossible. His tone was commanding. I could only assume that he was giving Nico and Mateo instructions on how they’d save Maya. Silence followed the soft thud of the front door, and footsteps headed to my room. Roman wore a soft smile when he appeared at the open door. I remained seated on the bed while he crossed the short distance between us, sitting beside me. The tension in the room was so thick it made breathing hard. If my guess is correct,
A Game With No Rules 42|Awfully Easy
~Roman~Daylight waned as we rode our bikes to the abandoned shipyard at the town’s border.This is where the information we got from Julie led us, the same information that got her father killed. Talking to Viviana definitely cleared my head. I need her in my life more than I could ever have imagined. She was right; leaving her wouldn’t solve our problems, and it wouldn’t make these people go away. Ending them will..We are divided into three teams: the ground, surveillance, and extraction. Nico led the surveillance and extraction surrounding the shipyard, while Mateo and I led the ground.Mateo rode beside me, looking agile like a lion ready to pounce at its rival. Chilly Andalusian air slithered into our
A Game With No Rules 43|For Her Friend
~Roman~“My drones are in the air. Uno, Dos, move to the front of the building. There are trailer and thermal shows movements on the top trailers. That’s the farthest my drones can get, since I can’t let them stoop low.”Mateo and I were on the move as soon as we got the instructions from Nico. “Cage, your team will move from the south, Warden, cover the west….” Nico continued to give orders like a general commanding his men.We flanked towards the front of the building, eyes focused on the scope of my AK47 as we ducked. Mateo covered my back in the same position as we reached the large, rusty metal door. There was an opening big enough to fit one person. I motioned for Mateo to move out first, covering him until he reached the nearest trailer.
A Game With No Rules 44|Concealed
~Viviana~As if they were watching me, the moment Roman stepped out of the house, a call from an unknown number came in. A voice changer muffled the voice, the kind that sounded as if it came from the deepest part of hell.The instructions were clear. ‘Follow your predictable routine and act naturally. Don’t call in sick and come to work at Brío. At exactly nine pm, go to the lady’s room on the ground floor. Someone will take you, and you will not resist. You won’t speak to anyone, not to your Outlaws friends, and not a word to Roman. We have the red light aimed at your mother’s head and a knife at your friend’s throat. One wrong move, and one of them will die.’I wasn’t even able to say hello. After the call, a picture of Maya came in, a duct tape plastered ove
A Game With No Rules 45|Pinch of Regret
~Viviana~I thought of a way I could come out of this situation alive the entire day. I wanted to know who I was up against and why.Lena. I convinced myself that she had reasons to hate me, but is Roman choosing me over her enough to result in this mess? No matter how much thought I put into justifying her actions, hurting my friend is something I could never forgive.“Why?” I asked firmly, holding my ground, even if the odds are certainly not in my favor. Lena has the number in ammunition and people, and she has Maya on the short leash.“You think you have the right to ask questions?” she spat, lips pursing in disgust. “You sure know how to act like an entitled slut.”I met Maya’s e
A Game With No Rules 46|One At A Time
~Roman~ My hands have taken countless lives, and I never repent for any of them, believing I’m doing the world a favor by reducing the number of criminals wandering on the streets. I’m not a saint or hero, and never will I be. Since Abuelo died and I sat as Uno of the Outlaws, I’ve deterred myself from praying or setting foot in churches. I’m a sinner. I sold my soul to the devil for the greater good, and I’m aware that the time will come when I have to pay for my sins. Is this the price I had to pay? The media, cops, ambulance, and feds beat us in reaching the warehouse where Viviana offered herself as a sacrificial lamb to save Maya. A bullet grazed her right arm and leg, that’s what the doctors said, both flesh wounds, but she still hadn’t opened her eyes when the

~Roman~“The fuck were you thinking using fifty cal, Rio?” unphased, Rio’s eyes remained engrossed on the ceiling as the door on his quarters slammed on the wall. I left Mateo to watch over Viviana and Maya while I dealt with the mess this moron created. We turned El Sótano’s third underground level as a hideout and infirmary to tend to the wounded Outlaws.I let Warden and Cage take charge of cleaning the mess at the shipyard before coming to the hospital, but Nico can’t create any remedy for Rio’s mess.The authorities beat us in cleaning the warehouse and Nico is doing his best to wipe out every building and camera recording on the street in line with Rio’s escape.He was unharmed, but I ordered him to stay put at El S&
A Game With No Rules 48|Aftermath
~Viviana~Even without seeing him, I knew it was Roman who was holding my hand.My heartbeat was loud - literally - from the vital signs monitor. The cloud-like mattress hugging my body gave little relief to the throbbing pain in my muscles.Roman had been drawing incoherent patterns on the valley of my knuckles, planted a kiss there too and on my forehead. I have to open my eyes soon, relieve Roman of his torment by worrying about me, but I like what he’s saying.I woke up with his promise of taking me on a vacation. He said he’d take me to Barrio San Jose where his mom grew up, where they used to spend their Christmas with his Abuelo José. It was hard to pretend that I’m not yet awake since he can practically see the thumping of my heart from t
