I looked over at him surprised at his statement “I want him to connect with this place as much as you do. To look around and feel as safe and serene as you in this very moment. Then one day you can explain everything to him as you did to me” I don’t know why I was getting emotional, but I nodded my head fighting back tears, “ok” I whispered nodding my head.

“We’d bring Ariana and Lorenzo as well something tells me they’ll love it … and maybe a few of my men to make sure Dante is safe” I narrowed my eyes at him shaking my head. “I’m his mother, he is the safest baby in Spain” I pointed out.

“His mum is the reason I want full time protection, you crazy bitch” he muttered sarcastically making me burst into a fit of laughter.

“I would expect that tone from Lorenzo.” I slapped his arm shaking my head “where do you think he got it from” he gave himself a sharp nod visibly proud of himself. Rolling my eyes and shaking my head I couldn’t help but smile to myself, this was the first time since his memory loss that I felt that connection with him again. I looked at his side as he looked out at the view, while I admired him.

I miss you Vincenzo King, I really fucking miss you.

After our trip it was time for the meeting, I walked into our old hideout back when I was in the gang, I had both feelings of nostalgia and anger at the memory of being here. It was not so much my acts that made me sick but working for Xavier.

“Isabella” I turned around, as my eyes bulge out of its socket. “Mierda” (fuck) I cussed under my breath … so much for a calm day.

THE REVEAL

Isabella’s POV

In front of me stood someone I never thought I’d see ever again, a man I thought I left behind in Minnesota, our adoptive abusive father. “Miss me?” he smirked waving his gun around. “Sabes cómo usar esa cosa?”(You know how to use that thing?)I mocked pointing to the gun.

“Who is that?” Vincenzo whispered, not tearing my eyes from stepfather “Someone who I should have killed” I mummer back as stepfather smirks tightening his grip on the gun. “Is that anyway to talk to the man who put a roof over your head Isabella” he smiled cunningly.

“It is the way to speak to someone who spent two years abusing and scaring my body” I bite back.

“What!” Vincenzo grunts from behind me, if he bites down on his jaw anymore, I’m scared it will crack. “You did what?” He aims his question at him, “how else could I have relived the sexual tension I had pent up for her … I mean look at her. It was either take her or scar her so no one else would” He breathes out his eyes ranking over my body making me extremely uncomfortable.

“Besides if Xavier found out I touched you he would hang me by my balls” at the mention of Xavier my head shot up “what?” I spat now connecting everything. Why he took us in, why he seemed like it was an order to take us, why it seemed like he had no life and why he kept saying we ruined everything. He was ordered to take us in, so Xavier can keep an eye on me so he can get me whenever he wanted.

“Yes! Yes! Look at her eyes widening she’s figured it out” He laughed out, “and when you and your bratty sister ran away, I was facing very bad punishments!” he roared pulling his shirt up revealing multiple stab wounds, and markings.

“You ruined my life twice!” He put his fingers up, “now it’s time to ruin your life, everything ends right here right now!” He moves to step towards me before Vincenzo stops him.

“Take one step near her and I promise it will be a step towards your death” Vincenzo’s icy tone sent a shiver down my spine, I shook my head slightly trying to stay calm, this was not the time to get turned on.

“What are you going to do pretty boy?” he remarked. I smirked looking over at Vincenzo who had that exact same smile on his face the same one I saw when we first met the first and only time, I was genuinely scared. Such a simple move his sinical smile that let everyone who saw it, know he out for blood.

“Well, you pointed out you didn’t like your scars?” Vincenzo questioned he nodded his head confused “well when I skin you alive it won’t matter would it?” my mouth dropped open looking at him. Damn, I want to do that. “You can help Isabella” Vincenzo winked seeing the disappointment on my face, smiling I turn back around to a very disturbed man.

“What? Some people bond over food, art, or sports. Torture, knives and guns have really always been our thing” I shrugged my shoulders.

“You forget killing” Vincenzo chimed in, I pursed my lips pointing at him nodding my head “how did I forget that”.

“Hello? Man with a gun” he waved his gun around. I laughed shaking my head, on cue Vincenzo and I pull out our own guns from the back of our pants.

“Our ones bigger” I smirked recalling the conversation me and Vincenzo had at the wedding.

I faintly heard Vincenzo let out a throaty chuckle, “if you pull that trigger, I’ll kill you!” he yelled, I looked at him irritated at his genuine dumbness. “You do understand that if we pull the trigger, you die … so you can’t actually shoot us … right?” I tried slowly breaking it down for him. He stood there for a moment before fully understanding what I said.

“You know what I mean!” he cursed out, shaking my head.

“No. No, we really don’t” Vincenzo sighed exhausted. “Ok give me the gun” I roll my eyes extending my hand out, he smirked looking very confident for a man in his situation. “I don’t think so” he whistled, and men emerged from behind the walls entering the space we occupied.

“You proud of yourself?” Vincenzo mocked him at his dramatic reveal, “we may be outnumbered but that doesn’t mean we can’t kill all of you” I slyly smirked watching his demeanour deflate, “why can’t you just surrender like a normal person?” stepfather sighed exhausted. Did he really think I was going to just lay on my back and wave a white flag?

“She prefers dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. She will never surrender” Vincenzo pointed out, “as you wish. Get them” there was about ten men behind him all storming towards me and Vincenzo some holding a bat, others a crowbar. Clearly none of them are from or were a part of the gang, but since none held a gun, I put mine back.

One thing I will never do is fight an unfair fight, I like my wins to be genuine, also love to point out they got beat up by a girl. I turned seeing Vincenzo do the same. Everything suddenly felt like it was going very quick, five men charged towards me while the others charged for Vincenzo.
