THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND MAY BE TROUBLESOME TO SOME READERS. READ AT OWN RISK *************************************************************************************************************Evelyn POVKade’s cell phone began to ring just as Ricci walked towards Aaron’s unconscious body. Without glancing my way, Kade told Ricci he needed to take the call. Ricci responded with a simple wave of his hand. “What do you want to know?” I cried as Ricci took out his knife.“Who are you working for?” My pause only entices Ricci more and before I can respond he’s cutting off one of Aaron’s fingers.The piercing scream that leaves Aaron’s lips makes bile come up my throat. Tears stream down my face as I try to get out of my restraints. “STOP! PLEASE STOP! I’ll tell you!” I scream as Ricci moves to another finger. Raising an eyebrow at me, Ricci gives me an expectant look. “I work for a special operations unit through the government. But you already know this. You ment

Evelyn POVI was jostled awake when the van hit several potholes in a row, making my head bounce off the floor of the van. Holding my head while groaning, I slowly sat up and rested my head on the metal frame. A sticky substance felt like it was all over me. My vision began to focus and the gruesome scene before me came into focus. A piercing scream escaped me and echoed off the metal frame of the van. The memory of how I ended up in the van overwhelmed me. Aaron lay in an unnatural position next to me. His eyes were closed as blood oozed out of the side of his mouth. Looking down at myself, I was covered in blood that came from the puddle that pooled on the van’s floor. A sob of agony left me as I began to move Aaron’s body to a more natural position. His clothes were saturated in his blood, making the cloth cling to his body. I rested my forehead on his unmoving chest as I let my grief consume me. “Fuck, Arrow. I am so…. fucking…sorry.” I cried into his chest.I needed to wake up

EVELYN POV“Evelyn,” the sound of Buddha’s voice made tears well up in my eyes from relief. I turned around just in time for Buddha to scoop me up in his arms. The smell of smoke permeated my senses. He smelt like a campfire. I let out a sob of relief as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Buddha cradled the back of my head with his large hand as he tried to soothe my cries. “It’s going to be okay. Shhh.” He whispered into my ear. He placed me back on the ground and cupped my cheeks before looking behind me and then back to me with a confused expression. “Where’s Arrow?” He looked over my shoulder and then back to me. I clasped my hands over Buddha’s, before shaking my head. I closed my eyes and willed myself to speak the words that I knew would crush him.“He’s….he’s gone…” I squeezed my eyes shut as another wave of grief hit me. Buddha let go of my face as if my skin burned his hands. He shook his head in disbelief before a hard, angry expression took over his face. I’d never seen

24 Hours Earlier Kade POV Betrayal, anger,and heartbreak coursed through every fiber of my being. Evelyn lied to me. Not only did she lie, but also stole my heart in the process. I slammed the door to my office and threw the vase of flowers I intended to give Evelyn after my meeting with Ricci. Glass of the vase shattered against the wall, sending glass, stems, and water all over the floor. My chest heaved as I braced myself on the side of my desk. I heard the door open and quietly shut behind me. I knew it was Evan. “If you are going to give me some quick witted commentary, I am not in the mood.” I gritted out. Evan leaned on the desk and looked down at my hunched form. He crossed his arms and sighed. “You know me better than that fratello.” Brothe. One of the few words Evan had learned over the years. And he was mine, in every sense of the word. “What do you want to do?” I shook my head. “I have no fucking idea.” I stood up and scrubbed a hand down my face and sucked my lips

Evelyn POVI clenched my jaw as Kade walked towards the side of my bed. I felt my pulse quicken from the overwhelming onset of emotions that were threatening to consume me. Ignoring the glare, I was giving him, Kade sat down and scrubbed his hands down his face before looking at me. “We need to talk.” His voice was flatter than a race car track. I scoffed. “Then go ahead, talk.” I crossed my arms over my chest. The overwhelming need to cry made me close my eyes. I would not show any sort of weakness in front of this man. I didn’t care what he had to say. I couldn’t forgive him for what happened to me and…I couldn’t even think of my best friend’s name. Kade clenched his jaw and rested his forearms on his thighs. “I want to make sure you understand that I have a right to be angry as well Evelyn. So, lose the fucking attitude and hear what I have to say.” I felt like smoke would come out of my ears from the fiery rage that was building in me. “Oh, I’m sorry, did I allow you to get tor

Two weeks later:Evelyn POVChief and Kade had come to an arrangement to take down Ricci per my request. I didn’t want to talk to him. I couldn’t. Not after everything. However, I understood as the IT gurus, we would need to work together. We also needed to keep up the fictitious story that I was being held captive by Kade until Ricci gave him instructions for the auction. II had no idea how Kade had convinced Ricci of the story, however, I wouldn’t ask. Kade opened RSS up to us to use as the clean up crew continued to pick up the rubble that was once Domino’s Gym. It felt like some cruel joke. As if the rubble was a physical representation of my heart.It was our first team meeting since the explosion. Chief still was wearing a sling and had some cuts on his already burn-scarred arms that were finally starting to heal. Badger refused to let smoke inhalation bring her down. Although she wasn’t 100 percent better. She still volunteered at the local women’s shelter and taught self def

EVELYN POVThe rain poured down on us as my mother’s casket was lowered into the ground. It was as if Heaven was shedding tears for her untimely death. Matthew had been able to get bereavement leave. He stood in his formal uniform next to me. My sister Sarah acted like the spoiled brat that she was. Acting as if coming home from boarding school was an inconvenience. What made matters worse was her clinging to Ricci as if he were her puppeteer. They stood cross from us in impeccable formal black attire. My sister dabbed her eyes with a tissue, acting the part perfectly. Ricci was able to use my mother’s death to his advantage by creating a media campaign as the distraught mourning husband. My team stood behind me, ready to attack if needed. But I knew better. Ricci wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste. Pretending to be the guard dog of Ricci’s precious auction item, Kade stood off to the side of me making sure I was always in his line of vision. Machine stood by his side as stil

KADE POVTWO WEEKS PRIOR: BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF HQI sat across from Chief who was sitting at his desk with his hands steepled. His jaw clenched as I explained what I knew about Evelyn’s undercover mission. Machine stood behind me with his arms crossed. Ready to strike if needed. “So, Mr. Fleming, tell me why taking Ricci down is so important to you?” Chief scoffed. “Why would I tell that to you when you’re the one in bed with Ricci?” I let out a humorless laugh. “See that’s where you’re wrong.” I leaned back into my chair. Waiting for him to take the bait. Chief leaned closer and clasped his hands over his desk. “Explain.” “My father was in bed with Ricci. I, however, would like to exterminate the bed bug that he is for good. I may have assumed my father’s clientele, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my own agenda and goals.” He seemed to ponder my words for a moment before speaking. “Everyone on the team has a different reason as to why we want Ricci dead.” His statement
