Jade's povHe drove us to his aunt's store while his men followed in a car behind. He had said to me that he just wanted it to be the both of us alone in his car and I didn't object. There was nothing to object. I shot him little glances from time to time and would smile when his eyes locked with mine. I felt so bad for him and too guilty for hearing his conversation. He stopped the car in front of the store and came over to open my side of the door.I got out and he took my hand turning to lead me inside. "Saint..." I started, stopping in my tracks and making him turn to face me. What was I doing? "Is there a problem?" His voice was gentle and I was contemplating hard if I was supposed to be talking. I thought for a while, peering into his eyes as he waited for me to respond. "I'm sorry." I blurted out. He had a neutral expression on his face as he came closer to me. "What for?" I rubbed my arm lightly still unsure if I was supposed to be saying this. "About..." He nodded,

Jade's pov My heart was beating fast, too fast as my fingers trembled. Serena's eyes rested on me, then at them. She rushed over in front of me and stood in between me and them, then held my hand with one of hers. She was putting herself instead. Protecting me. "Serena Guerra huh?" Tattoo guy asked closing up the gap between them. "Who're you stronzo huh? What are you looking for? Che cosa?!" She asked and the tattoo guy laughed scornfully. His annoying laugh which showed his brownish teeth made me want to knock him out and I tightened my hands in Serena's own. The other guys beside and behind him scoffed, jeering among themselves. "Stronzo?" He asked raising an eyebrow at her after laughing. His face twisted into an ugly frown with his eyes which immediately looked deadly. "Vecchia, you've got no manners!" He said then slapped her across the face harshly. I was shocked. She staggered backwards into me and I caught her in my arms as we both bumped into the mannequin which fel

Saint's pov. I felt uneasy and I didn't like it. Not at all. As I marched to the car, lightening up a cigarette, I thought a lot if I should just remain with Aunt and Jade instead. But CJ was in bad condition and I needed to go to the site immediately. I was keeping my crossed fingers and hoping the more guys I sent to the aunt's store would take care of whatever situation arose. They were a lot, and I made sure they were not going to be outnumbered come what may. CJ was supposed to meet with buyers that evening and I was supposed to go with him but he ended up going alone and the buyers turned out to be some piece of shit resulting in an unplanned fight which took him by surprise. I took a deep breath, feeling the whole air with smoke from the cigarette and hoping the buyers knew what it implied to start a fight with someone I had sent and to end up stabbing him severely. Not to say, a member of the Guerra family. I arrived at the site and it was a bloody mess. CJ limped to me by

Saint's Pov. "Fucking kill me already!!!" Elijah cursed as he spat out blood. "Fucking do it!! This is worse than death. You're worse than the devil!!" "You still being able to talk shows I'm not doing enough," I said back to him, grabbing his foot that was bloody from previously plucking out all his toenails. He shook his head, trying to move backwards but obviously could not because of how tightly tied to the seat he was. I twisted his leg backwards, took out a knife and slit his Achilles heel which made him yell out. I wasn't moved or touched or feeling any remorse. In fact, I couldn't feel anything at all. I had been numb ever since I saw Aunt in her pool of blood and the shitty memory I've been trying to bury ever since resurfaced again. And I couldn't get my mind off Matrix either. I took his other leg and slit it too and he screamed louder than the first time which made me take a deep breath at him. I was just getting started. Every time the scene of him holding Jade an

Saint's pov I left the basement angrily, feeling the smoke coming out of my ears. Fucking Elijah wasn't speaking and even though he was already half dead, his lips were still sealed. The lackey that had been searching for Tequila had said he had gotten a signal from him a day before and it wouldn't be long before he got found. That was good news, but it wasn't the news I wanted to hear that day. I wanted to finish what I had started and wanted to do it soon, killing everyone who had a hand in Aunt's death but I needed to know where they were first; Lauretta from the Fontana family and the remaining of the Mariano family which were Matrix and his younger brother. And after then, I could wait till whenever the fuck Tequila would show up. I had left early that morning after watching over Jade as she slept just like every other night, making sure she was okay. And now I was back to the house earlier than I usually am. I was furious and needed to let the anger out in any way I could. A
