My eyes widen when he admits he's going to take them out. Nothing surprises me with my father, he was always known for being spiteful and vindictive.

Struggling against the rope, I growl knowing my father plans on selling Nova. It’s the only reason he’d have to take Carter and Miller out.

“I'll be back, Sebastian. I want to make sure the first job is done.”

I scream as he begins to walk away from me knowing he means my brothers, my family.

Twisting my body, I try with everything I have to break the rope, loosen it, anything to get free.

Throwing my head back, I let out a roar as I do everything I can to escape.

He walks out slamming the door behind him, and the only thing I can hear is the beating of my heart as it shatters into a million pieces.

Tears fall down my cheeks as I wait for him to return. There's nothing I can do, I can’t save them, they’re all going to die because of me, because I couldn’t tell them the truth. We didn't even find out what Santonio was hiding, what secrets he kept hidden.

Giving it one last try, I move and twist my body trying to free myself, my skin is burning from the rope, but I keep trying.

Loud clanking can be heard just outside the door. I stop my movements too afraid for what's about to enter.

I’m in shock when I see a man at the door, holding a knife, his posture is casual as if he’s bored by being here.

The moment he begins to walk toward me I struggle, whimpering slightly.

“Relax,” he grumbles, holding the knife up. I close my eyes waiting for the knife to pierce my skin, when I feel him cutting into the rope, I force my eyes downward watching as his knife slices through it with ease.

“Let's go?” he snaps, helping me out of the rope.

“Wait, who are you and why are you helping me?” I ask.

He looks over his shoulder at me, smiling before he says, “Someone who just saved your ass. Now let’s move it, I got shit to do.” He walks from the room waiting for me, against my better judgment I follow him, beats being tied to that chair.

We walk slowly down a hall, each step feels like a lifetime before he places his arm across my chest, forcing me to stop.

“Keep up and don’t stop.” He glares back at me. I nod, gesturing for him to continue.

Like a damn fucking ninja, he moves through the hall, taking out each guard that comes in contact with him.

I watch from behind as he uses his knife on each one, not once stopping or slowing down to see if I'm still behind him.

“Fuck you.” I halt hearing King’s voice.

“What the fuck are you doing? I said don’t stop,” he hisses, clenching my shirt in his fists.

“But,” I stammer.

“No fucking buts. It’s how you fucking die.” He shoves me forward, pushing me from the hall all while we leave King behind.

“They're my friends.” I breathe as he shoves me forward again.

All of a sudden, we’re surrounded. The guy doesn't even seem fazed as he walks up to one of the men and pulls him into a headlock.

They begin to wrestle and when I think maybe I should start to run they fall to the ground, laughing.

“You fucker.” The other guy grumbles, punching the first guy in the side.

He jumps up laughing while holding his side.

“I told you I'd be out in ten minutes.” He smiles.
