...Sienna POV...I could feel a rush of emotions as I continued to explain how I first met Hunter. Just talking about it made me relive it. While it wasn't your classic meet cute that most girls swoon over, it was perfect. Perfect for us. I could feel my cheeks begin to heat up with the recollection."Yes.. so anyways... I managed to get in the ring with him. He held back at first, thinking that I just wanted his attention or something. It turns out that girls don't frequent that club at all. So Hunter grew curious as to why I was there in the first place. Which was perfect for me anyways. As it meant he stopped holding back. After years of training, I was finally fighting someone that wouldn't hesitate to give me their all. Though, admittedly, I think I may have been too cocky." I admit, looking away from Ash, unable to look him in the eyes from my confession.I could sense the worry in him as he reached out and pulled my attention back to him."What happened?" Ash asks."Hunter punc

...Sienna POV..."Silvio? But why?" Jace asks, clearly confused. I realize I forgot some details in my explanation."Kevin was never the mastermind behind any of it. Silvio was. Silvio just allowed Kevin to believe that he was spearheading everything. But Silvio had his own goal in mind." I explain."Which is?" Jace asks, standing up to walk to the side of my bed. I can tell we got to the part he was most interested in. Up until now, he wasn't fully interested. But these were the details he had been looking for."To take over Los Calaveras and bring back the Cobras." I explain."Silvio would've been the next heir to the Cobras, but when the FBI disbanded them, it left him with nothing.""Wait... Silvio isn't the heir of the Cobras. Hunter is." Jace states."Actually, no. Silvio has more precedent than Hunter." I explain."How? The only one that could claim to be the heir would be Hunter. His dad was Chase Finch, after all - The Cobras' second in command." Jace counters."That's true.

"So, care to explain what that phone call was about?" Hunter asks as he downs a shot before pouring himself another. He holds the shot toward me, and I eye him in annoyance. Sending him an incredulous look as I can't believe he's using the time to get plastered. "The only guarantee in life is death. Unfortunately for us, that promise looks as though it will be fulfilled before the end of the day. So we might as well enjoy the moment now, as we may not get another chance. Plus, from your behaviour, it would seem as though we need to wait here anyways. So might as well make use of the place." Hunter remarks. While I may not like the guy, I can't discount his words. We've already been through a lot already. While I'm not one to drink on the job, I can't deny the temptation to take the shot, knowing it will help take the edge off. After a moment of resisting, I walk towards the bar and grab the shot from his hand.I swallow the liquid quickly, feeling it burn my intestines along the way.

"Terry, pass me your phone." I state, urgently.Terry doesn't hesitate, handing me his phone. I dial Jace's number, hoping desperately he's with Damian right now.Jace picks up on the first ring. He recognizes the number, so answers immediately."Huxley." Jace remarks into the phone."Jace. Is Damian there with you?" I ask, getting straight to the point."Yes. Why do you ask?" "Are you somewhere private, where no one can listen in on you- including tech?" I ask."No. But I can be. Just a second." He comments. The line goes quiet before I hear Jace pick the call back up."Asher? You still there?""Asher? Is he ok? Where is Sienna?" I hear Damian frantically remark in the background. "Ya, I'm still here. Pass the phone to Damian. I need to talk to him." I state.Jace isn't happy but ultimately obliges. The sounds are muffled slightly as I can only guess that Jace is switching to his headset, giving an earbud to Damian in the meantime."Asher? What's going on? Where are you? Where's my

...Sienna POV......Present..."So... wait... you're telling me that not only is Silvio alive, but my dad's business did, in fact, blow up? I thought it didn't since I'm still alive." I comment, unsure as to what's going on. "Yes.. and no..." Ash comments. I furrow my brows at him, unable to understand what he could possibly mean by that. A building blowing up can only ever be a yes or a no answer. Not both. You can't somewhat blow up a building. Either you do or you don't."The tower blowing up was faked. Stone Enterprises never blew up.""Care to explain?" I ask."Your dad would be the better person to ask. But essentially, he created a sophisticated program that mixes AR and AI technology to create an interactive scenario. So to put it simply, the building exploding was nothing more than a computer program." Ash remarks, making my eyes go wide.I watch as Ash pulls out his phone and searches for something before showing me the phone. On the screen is the video feed of the building
