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

I was brought through the backdoor of Olympus and into a small dressing room with a makeup vanity and a couch. Evan stood outside the dressing room, making sure no one entered or left. Kade unzipped my garment bag which revealed a stunning red dress and red heels. Inside a hidden compartment was a small earpiece. He handed it to me. “You won’t be able to respond, but you will be able to hear us. Are you ready?” I nodded as I placed the small silicone piece in my ear before letting my curled brunette hair down to fall over my shoulders. A knock sounded on the door making me jump. Kade walked over to the door and whispered back and forth with Machine. “Move out of my way, Machine.” My blood ran cold at the sound of Ricci’s voice. Kade put on his mask of indifference towards me and stepped out of the path for Ricci to pass through. Ricci wore a black bespoke suit with a crisp button up shirt underneath. A black mask sat on his forehead. His blue eyes felt like ice on my skin. A cruel

*****WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS GRAPHIC, VIOLENT SITUATIONS. DISCUSSION OF SEX TRAFFICKING OF MINORS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SITUATIONS REGARDING SEX TRACKING ARE DESCRIBED. PLEASE READ AT OWN RISK*****Screams and gasps filled the room as the guests started running towards the exits. Masked figures moved towards the area where Ricci had been standing. The glint of metal reflecting in the flood lights. I covered my head with my free arm before I felt a warm body shield over me. It was Machine. “I’ll cover you. Here’s the key for the cuffs.” He whispered. More gunshots rang out in the club. Monitors around the club illuminated before an emblem of a hive came into view. Pride filled me when I saw the signature of the team that I had learned to respect and love. I placed the key into the lock of the cuffs and quickly unshackled myself from the bar. Machine wrapped an arm around me before walking hunched down to the steps. “I need an update.” I heard Chief order.“We have the othe

Kade POV After the young girls were brought to thehospital for medical attention and social services called, I headed back to the basement of RSS to meet the others to interrogate Ricci. Badger was already in the interrogation room.Accompanying her was Machine who leaned on one of the far cement walls. Ricci was chained down to the metal chair in the center of the room. His eyes were both bruised and blood streaked down his face. I wasn’t sure what he said to Badger, but I knew by the punch she swung that he had struck a nerve. I saw Evan’s lips move. Whatever he said caughtBadger’s attention. Her fists clenched at her sides before she stormed out of the room. The bastard looked at the two-way mirror and gave us a sinister grin, showing us just how unhinged he truly was. Badger stormed past me and walked towards theelevator with Evan shortly following. He stopped next to me and scrubbed a handdown his face. “I take it, questioning him is goingswimmingly.” Evan let out a hum

Evelyn POV I walked into RSS with purpose. Ignoring the stares from the staff that stood in the lobby. My usual office attire was long forgotten, and, in its absence, I wore black cargo pants, a tight, long black sleeve shirt, and black combat boots. Instead of my hair in its usual wavy style, it was replaced with two braids. I looked like I was headed for war. Which in the grand scheme of things, wasn’t far from the truth. I walked to the elevator and pressed the button with more vigor than was needed. Slowly the elevator glided down to the basement floor. Time seemed to slow as I got closer to my destination. Chief was inside the room with Ricci when I approached the two-way mirror. Buddha and Badger stood in similar attire as me, in front of glass. Without looking my way, Buddha handed me a steaming hot coffee. “Thanks.” I mumbled before taking a sip of the liquid gold. I rubbed my lips together before speaking again. “How long has he been in there?”“He was here before all of u
