•KINLEY•I rubbed my eyes as I woke up, there were a lot of raised voices coming from downstairs.I stuck my feet into a pair of fluffy slippers and made my way down to hear what the commotion was about.When my eyes landed on Billie shouting in Italian and pointing angrily in Lola's face I paused with a deep frown on my face.What exactly was happening?Barney saw me coming in first and he muttered something under his breath before turning away.Gianni turned to me, also looking concerned."What's going on here?" I asked.Billie pointed an angry finger in Lola's face again, "You better tell her what you did!"Lola looked around, a bit of fear in her eyes as I made my way over to Gianni."What's this about?" I asked again, trying to find out why everyone was so angry.Gianni sighed, "Billie is making some claims I would like to verify before involving you."Billie shot around, her anger now directed at Gianni, "No! She has a right to know right now!" I noted how strongly her Italian

•GIANNI•My eyes were on Kinley and Renato as the two sat beside the pool on a blanket in the shade.Kinley held a fluffy toy airplane in her hands, whizzing it around for Renato who didn't take his eyes off it.I smiled as I watched them, I never guessed that my heart could feel so full. With Kinley in my life, I thought that was as good as it got. But now that we had our son, it was a different feeling. Something I could not explain, but only call magical."You look at them like they're your whole world," Barney spoke as he took a seat at the table."That's because they are. It's funny, I didn't even know Renato existed a few days ago, and now I would die for that little boy if need be."Barney smiled, "Parenthood is a strange thing, no?"I nodded, he was right about that."Barney, I've been thinking. I will handle the O'Clery but once that is done I won't be as heavily involved anymore. I want to spend more time with my family and start handling the legit businesses that I have. I

•KINLEY•"What the fuck happened?" Gianni asked in panic as he ran over to me, crouching beside me with concern etched on his face.He briefly glanced over at Matius but returned his attention to me."Your ex is what happened. She attacked me with a fire poker. I dropped my gun somewhere in the house when she hit me the first time.""My ex? Which one? Where is Renato? Are you okay? Where is Billie? And what happened to him?" He questioned while helping me to my feet."Jodie. I don't know what she did to Matius, I found him like this, but he's still breathing. Billie left with Renato when we heard something in the house. And no, I am definitely not okay. My arm is killing me."Luca ran in and frowned as he took in the scene around us, "Do I ask, or do I just start killing someone?"Gianni turned to him, "Find Jodie. Have Barney call an ambulance for Matius, and also have him call King. Call Billie and tell her to meet us at the hospital."Gianni had me leaning up against him as we walk

•KINLEY•We had viewed all the houses and I was pretty much sulking in the car."So, which one should we take?" Gianni asked me."They are all nice, so I don't mind."He sighed, "I know you're upset about the other house, but we can't do anything about that right now.""I know. I'm just... I feel like I've lost a part of me with that house. We have so many memories there." My vision blurred with unshed tears, the emotions getting too much for me."Baby, we made those memories. They go everywhere with us. They aren't in that house. And we have the rest of our lives together to make many more memories." He leaned over and kissed me, "I love you.""I love you too," I sniffled and wiped my face with my hand, "But really, any of the houses we looked at are fine. They're all really nice."We hadn't looked at any mansions, but that was fine with me. The houses were big enough for us without being too big. Each house also had a pool in the backyard.I wondered how Gianni planned on coping wit

•KINLEY•"How did it go?" I asked as soon as we got into the car to leave."He denies being part of the fire. He does however claim that Jodie is behind it with no help of theirs. She does have a connection to Callum, the brother you didn't arrest.""Lovely. And is Callum involved in the fire?""We suspect so, yes. He has been avoiding Noah.""So what is the plan going forward?""Find Callum and Jodie. Eliminate them. Then we go ahead with our original plan for Noah and the rest of his crew.""What about Fiona and their son?"Gianni frowned, "I would prefer to leave no loose ends. But I don't feel comfortable killing a child.""Good, you shouldn't. I exchanged numbers with Fiona, we're meeting for lunch later this week."Gianni sighed, "Gattina, why are you doing this? These people are our enemies.""Noah is our enemy. Fiona just goes along with everything he tells her. The doting housewife. If I can get through to her, I don't see why she needs to die."He shot me a look, "You just w
