{ Andrea's POV }

I walk out to the bathroom only to realize that Nicolás is standing by my door.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask him

"I have a question to ask." He says walking closer to me until he's standing so close that we're touching.

"Can I kiss you?" He asks me quietly with a husky voice

I give him a nod telling him yes.

He leans in and says "It's all I can think about. I can't seem to get you out of my mind Angel."

"Then do it." I say and I lean closer and grab his face and he grabs mine.

Our bodies touching, and our lips moving together. There is nothing like this moment.

Nothing but pure fire.

It's unclear of who really kissed who first but I don't really care.

Everything seems to fade when his lips are on mine.

————

I wake up and it's still dark outside. Perfect! I'm laying beside Nicolás who is still sleeping... so I have to carefully get out of bed and get dressed.

I'm determined that I'm not going to let anyone else die because of me. I go downstairs where I see Luis standing by the door like he knew I would try this.

"Isla knows you like the back of her hand." Luis says to me quietly

"Apparently." I reply quieter

A moment of silence passes and I look at Luis and question "Are you here to try and stop me?"

"No. I have to admit I was wrong and didn't understand you until Isla and Bart explained things. It helped me look at you from a different perspective." Luis replies

"What are you doing standing here then?" I ask him curiously

"I'm here to help you." Luis answers

"I don't need or want your help." I tell him

"No but I want too." Luis says

"Why?" I question

"Because as loco as it might sound you remind me of me." Luis says

————

Luis walks with me out of the mansion, and on our way to the cells. Where I'm going to visit Jason. It's either going to go great or it's not and I'll end up even more haunted than before.

"Why do I remind you of yourself?" I ask him

"I didn't have the greatest or easiest upbringing. My parents weren't the greatest influences, and the people they were around were even worse." Luis says

"How so?" I question

"My father was working with people in the sex trafficking ring in Mexico, and my mother would do anything to have more money and drugs. Neither of them loved me the way parents should. My father when he was drunk would beat me...although at least he cared enough about me to protect me from men my mother brung around, and he didn't sell me to his partners. I didn't run away because I knew if I did that my little sister would've been hurt if not sold and worse." Luis explains

I don't say anything because when someone tells you their story there isn't much you can say. Other than sorry, but it isn't my fault, and my sorry won't help him. That's the reality of it. Neither of us say anything else as we arrive at the cells. We walk back to where Jason is. He is laying down looking at the ceiling. When he hears us he turns his head. When he realizes it's me down here he sits up.

"Andrea..." Jason starts

"No. Save whatever it is you are going to say. I have some questions to ask." I tell him straight away

He nods knowing me enough to know that I'm not messing around.

"What happened to your eye?" I ask him

Seeing as how he has a black eye.

"Your father punched me when I refused to help him." Jason says

"And they just let you go after?" I question

"No he left to go somewhere, and Annalise said she would let me choose." Jason explains

"Choose what?" I ask

"In between staying loyal to her and our life outside of the mafia or you...and if I chose you there would be a risk of dying, or being locked up seeing as how I'm not apart of the mafia anymore, and I've been sleeping with the enemy." Jason says

"And you picked.." I start off but let my sentence wander off waiting for him to tell me himself.

"I picked you." Jason says

"Why? You didn't before." I question

"I learned my lesson. I will never not pick you again. I shouldn't have left you here to deal with things alone, and I shouldn't have left you behind at all. I'm truly sorry for the hurt I've caused you. I don't care what Alastair says, I'm your father. I may have failed you, but I'm still more of your father than he will ever be." Jason says

I could cry in this moment. But I won't. Instead I'll ask another question.

"Do you know their plan?" I ask

"No. All I know is that Annalise went to meet up with Alastair, because they are trying to find Samuele and some girl." Jason says

Chelsea. Of course.

"Why?" I ask seeing what else he knows

"Samuele went back on the deal, and didn't hand you over to Alastair...and apparently did something that Alastair swore he would kill him for...I'm not sure why they want the girl other than the fact she is connected to Samuele." Jason explains

I nod then I start to walk out of the cells.

"Wait.. Andrea, I really am sorry." Jason says

I can tell he means it. He really is being genuine. I'm just trying not to let myself cling to him again. I'm grown now and I can continue to do fine on my own. I can handle this mess on my own.

"I know you are." I tell him

I continue walking out of the cells, and end up back in front of the mansion.

"What's your plan?" Luis asks

"I'm going to finish this." I tell him

"You could be walking into a death trap." Luis says

"Everywhere around here is a death trap." I reply

He nods and says "You are right about that."

"Will you keep this between us? Or at least stall.. to give me sometime?" I ask him

"I'll give you until tomorrow night before I tell them where you've gone... but then we will be on our way in case you need backup." Luis says

"Thank you." I tell him

He gives a nod.

"Oh and tomorrow get them to release Jason he's starting to stink." I tell him

Luis laughs and then shakes his head as he has "Be careful Andrea."

"I will be." I tell him

Then I head on my journey to find Alastair. I go to the garage and find the car without a gps so I can't be tracked easily. It's quiet yet fast. Perfect. On my way I dial the number of the person I know will be willing to risk it all with me.

"It's too bloody early to be calling me." The voice answers

"Yeah but today is the day we set somethings right." I tell him

"Andrea you better be serious." He says

"Always." I reply

"Where do I meet you?" He questions

"Greece." I answer

"I'm on my way." Thomas says
