Angelo comes back with my bags and a pair of sweatpants.
I’m so sore. Everything hurts.
Angelo’s eyes meet mine and he looks about as murderous as Fynn.
“He won’t get away with this,” Angelo says in a low voice. “Nobody hurts anyone close to the Medicis without suffering the consequences. That’s a promise, Sage.”
I don’t even know what to say to that. I don’t have the strength.
Fynn sets me down on the couch so he can wrestle my sweats on, but I feel like a rag doll in his arms.
I try to keep my eyes open, but my head is spinning.
“She needs a doc,” Angelo barks. “Now, Fynn.”
“I know,” Fynn shouts back.
I hear the fear in his voice.
For the first time in a long time, I don’t wish for the darkness to take me.
I just want to get out of this house and never, ever come back.

FYNN
When I got her call,I was downtown with Angelo, attending to some business.
It surprised me when her name flashed up on the screen, because I haven’t seen her in a while. We’ve been on and off over the years since high school. Young lovers, mad about each other… until I knocked her up and we lost the baby, never telling anyone.
After that, we just couldn’t get it together. We were both going in different directions.
When she moved on for real, with fucking Cameron, and then moved in with him, I wasn’t exactly pleased about it, but I knew deep down, she had to live her own life.
I didn’t know what a low-life piece of shit he was then. I thought he was an okay kinda guy.
But I’ve always held a flame for Sage. I always will.
I guess you could say I’ve always loved her.
We were each other’s firsts. I smile at the memory as it takes hold of me. That was one hot night. Neither of us knew what the hell we were doing, but it sure did feel good.
And then, we were at it like rabbits.
We lost ourselves, spending every moment together, and she lost a lot more than that in my backseat that summer.
I lived for every second of it.
I often think about that time, and what a dumbass I was for letting her go. But we were young, and still are, and after the baby…things just fell apart. Plus, I work for my brother, Angelo, the mafioso boss.
I let her go because that life would have been no good for an aspiring young woman who wants to become a doctor and help people. She’s better than that. She’s better than me.
I didn’t hesitate when we were downtown, telling Angelo what she told me as we both hurried to my car to get to her.
I wasn’t expecting to find her in the state I did. Bloody. Her clothes torn. A busted knee. A busted face. Blood everywhere. I’ve never felt so enraged.
He’s a dead man. I feel fucking sick to my stomach.
