Vincent, Gabe and Salvatore will take care of them and cover me while I get Mia.
I run down a set of wooden stairs with my brothers and we split off in two. Gabe comes with me as I rush along the path leading to the attic. Vincent and Salvatore continue together down the stairs leading to the first floor.
It’s all smooth sailing until two idiots rush us.
“Keep going,” Gabe cries to me.
I listen and continue my pursuit.
Pulling my long reach knife, I hack off the head of the thug who came for me. Blood sprays as his head rolls and his body slumps down but I keep going.
The little set of stairs leading to the attic is just ahead of me.
I race up them and kick the door in only to see that fucking piece of shit Marco Antonella in here with Mia.
He has her naked. She’s crying. Her face is beaten so badly I can’t recognize her. The fucking asshole looks to me, and I see his fly’s undone like he was getting ready to pull his dick out. Shock suffuses his features and he’s about to pull his gun on me when I end him.
Bullet to the head blowing his fucking brains out.
Mia screams as blood splatters all over her, and her gaze snaps to me. It snaps right around to me and I see the light in her eyes past the bruises.
“Baby,” I shriek and rush to her.
“Nick!” She pulls against the chains and tries to reach for me. “Nick.”
I hold her still and shoot the chain down from where it loops to the metal hoop on the wall.
I drag off my jacket and cover her nakedness then hold her close to me as she cries.
This is my fault. The darkness of my world came to get her.
I dragged her in simply by loving her. This is what happened to the angel.
“Come we’re going home. We’re going baby.” I hold her closer.
“No, wait…” she tugs back shocking me.
What the hell would make her want to wait? I want to take her out of here right the hell now. There is nothing here for us to wait for.
The sounds of death on the floors below make that clear.
“We need to leave Mia,” I say with urgency.
“My brother. It’s him. He shot Tommy. He’s the guy who did it. My brother.” She breaks down.
I freeze up.
Freeze right up at the revelation and first I’m not sure what the fuck she’s actually telling me, and what the fuck to think.
I couldn’t have heard her right. There’s no way.
“What the hell are you saying to me Mia?”
“My brother, was working with Hector Ramirez,” she blurts and I shake my head. That name. That name I had that name all along. Hector Ramirez. She knew it and I never knew. “He’s the man we owe the money to. My brother used us. He knew by doing the job for the Fontaines by shooting your friend would get him back in with Hector, an alliance.”
“Mia…” I breathe and my hands slip from her.
I’m stunned and shocked.
Tommy died hours ago.
Tommy died.
Her brother shot him.
Mia’s brother.
I can’t process it.
