I burst through the front door, needing to see her face.

I need to know if she's okay, if she got here safe and sound.

And just as I rush into the hall, she comes running down the stairs, jumping straight into my arms.

She's still wearing her dress, but her hair and makeup are all ruined by everything that went down.

North appears on top of the stairs, running down, almost tripping as she gets to the last steps.

'You're okay, god, don't ever do that again!' Valentina says, taking me all in. 'Hunter?'

'He escaped.' Again...

She looks at me, checking if I'm okay, which I am.

Apart from the cut on my shoulder, I'm fine.

'Where's Tiago?' North asks when she realizes I'm fine as well.

'We couldn't find him.' Marco mumbles, looking at the ground.

Her eyes fill with panic and pain, but I won't let her collapse.

'He's out there.' I know he is.

She looks at me, a little flash of hope and anger filling her eyes.

'He's not dead.' I say, feeling Valentina's hands reaching for the buttons of my shirt.

'You're bleeding- we should-' She's panicking, making something inside me warm up, but at the same time break.

She shouldn't be panicking right now.

Because I'm okay.

I'll be fine.

'Valentina...' I quickly look at Marco, waiting for him to take North out of here and talk to her about what happened when they left.

I don't want to deal with that and I need to calm down Valentina.

Her hands brush against my warm skin, making me shiver as she quickly takes off my shirt.

'Valentina, stop.' She ignores me, trying to see if there's something else. 'You're hurt!' She shouts, making me roll my eyes.

I press her against the wall, locking her between my arms, and take a deep breath, trying to calm down myself.

'Calm. Down.'

She takes a trembling breath and leans in, pressing her head against my chest.

'I thought you were dead.'

'I know, but I'm alive,' I whisper, rubbing some hair out of her face, 'I'm here.'

'Don't ever do that to me again!' She sneers, shoving me a little, making me wince because her hand goes right on my cut, 'We are supposed to be a team! You can't just tell me to go when shit goes down!'

'It was dangerous.' I lean in, keeping my eyes on her, 'I just needed to make sure you were safe so I could handle things.'

'I can take care of myself! You don't get to shut me out and run into gunfire like some idiot!'

Getting her out of there was the first thing I thought about. I needed her to be safe, to not get taken away from me again, to not be in pain.

'I thought I lost you.' She whispers, taking a deep breath before looking at me again.

'My heart stopped when you shoved me in that car and went back in there.' I hate that she's shaking so much. 'It went cold, colder than the darkest pit on the Northpole, and I thought-' 'Valentina...'

'When I heard the door and I saw you down here, I- My heart lit up and I felt like it was going to explode.' I press a kiss on her head, trying to see if it helps her calm down.

'My heart won't be on fire if I'm not with you, Rio.'

Her words do something to me, something that happens when I'm around her.

They set me on fire, not just my heart, or body, but my entire soul, my entire being.

'I'm here, Valentina. I'm yours until I die.'

She presses her lips against mine, soft and gentle because she's still kind of freaking out about all of this.

'And I'm yours.'

She melts against my chest, wrapping her tiny arms around me.

I don't have time to hold her any longer because we have to get out of here first.

We make our way to the dining room, where everyone else is seated in complete silence.

Isabelle is inspecting Marco's wound, trying to clean it as thoroughly as possible, while North is staring at the table soullessly, her eyes red and puffy, and Brandon is basically sitting on Killian's lap, whispering something to him.

'Where's Celine?' I ask as I get to my seat, pulling my wife on my lap.

I want her close as long as I can.

'Vincent didn't make it.' Brandon starts.

I inhale slowly, looking at everyone else in the room who stares at the table lifelessly. 'She's in his room.'

And wherever she goes, Kai follows...

I take a second to think about what he just said, before clearing my throat and waiting for everyone to look at me.

'Everyone pack their bags, we leave in thirty minutes.' No one hesitates to get up, not even North or Valentina, but they stay in the room while the others leave.

'Marco, call the biggest guest that came to the wedding and ask them to come to meet us here as soon as possible.' He nods and grabs his phone as he goes through his contacts.

'Where are we going?' Valentina asks, frowning at me. 'You guys are going to split up and live across Italy, while me and Marco deal with all the other stuff.'

North sighs deeply and quickly looks at Marco, who's already on his first call, before turning back to me.

But I feel Valentina's eyes burn holes in the side of my face. 'I'm not-' 'You don't have a choice, North you're staying too. Go pack your bags.'

To my surprise, she doesn't object.

She simply stumbles out of the room like she's some kind of zombie, without saying a word.

'Valentina.' She looks at me and crosses her arms, before sighing deeply. 'What about my mom?'

'She needs to go back to her family and hide for a while, at least until everything is calmed down.' She nods and starts pacing around the room. 'What about her treatment?'

'I'll get everything settled, don't worry. Now go and pack your bags, Valentina.'

She stops moving and slowly turns back to me. 'Why won't you let me help?'

'I need to focus on making sure everything gets settled, I can't keep watching you.' She's a distraction. Because if she's around, all I can focus on is her.

Her safety, her wellbeing, her happiness.

'You don't need to watch me, I'm here to help.' She holds out her hand, making me frown at her, 'Give me your phone so I can help Marco and you can go talk to Celine.' What?

'No, go pack your bags and-' 'Give. me. your. phone.' She repeats, keeping her eyes on mine.

I don't want her involved. I don't want them to talk to her. I don't want her to get hurt in any way.

But she won't stop.

I reach for my phone and hand it to her, watching her as she takes a seat in one of the chairs and starts calling.

This woman...

I get up and make my way up the stairs, noticing Kai sitting in front of Vincent's bedroom door.

He looks at me with tears in his eyes and slowly gets up, 'She doesn't want to see anyone.'

I take a deep breath and brush past him, knocking on the door.

I never knock on the door.

No response.

Kai pushes me to the side, trying to get me away from the door, but I don't care.

I shove him to the side and open the door, before locking it on the inside so he can't get in and ruin this. She didn't let him in for a reason.

I look around the room, all of his stuff was ready for tomorrow morning. One of his bags is opened, and his clothes are scattered on the floor.

Celine is kneeling next to his bed in the corner of the room, staring at the empty wall in front of her.

Even from this distance, I can see the tears rolling down her cheeks.

'Celine-' 'Don't.' She warns, her voice raspy as if she has been screaming for days, 'get out.'

I stay put and fight the urge to send someone else in to do this.

I hate that she's on the floor and crying.

'I'm not leaving.' I say as she slowly turns her face towards me.

Celine Elloise Dufort is a strong woman. She doesn't break easily.

She has been through hell and back and has not given up ever.

But this, today's events, is enough to break everything she's worked for.

She's done.

'I know you're missing Vincent, but I need you to pack your bags and go back to your family for a while.' She shakes her head and lets the tears roll down her cheeks.

'I can't.' I take a step closer and notice the blood on her waist. Did she get hurt?

'Celine, they might be coming over here to kill us if we don't leave now.'

'Let them.' She whispers as pain washes over her, making her shudder, 'Let them kill me.'

'Celine-' She breaks, crying as she holds onto the bed and pulls on the sheets.

If Leon was here, he would know what to do with this. I have no clue what to do.

'He's gone.' She says when she's able to look at me again.

But the look in her eyes slices through me, as if she's able to make me feel her pain by looking at me, and I wish she would cry and press her face into the bed instead of looking at me.

'Vincent is dead.' She says as her entire body trembles again.

'You can't let this-' 'I can.' She interferes, finally removing her painful eyes from mine, 'I can't do this.'

I never thought I would have to say this, especially to someone like Celine, but I need her to pull herself together for now.

Because time's ticking and we don't have that much time to begin with.

'You have a son.' I state, taking another step forward. 'If you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for him.'

She keeps looking at me for another second, something flashing through her eyes, before she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

'I don't feel like I can.'

'You can.' We both turn to the door and I can't believe what I'm hearing.

'Do it for our son.' Kai continues, probably pressed against the other side of the door.

'He needs you.' I look at Celine who's simply staring at the door, before heading over to unlock it and let him in.

He's better at comforting her than I'll ever be.

Kai looks at me, before moving his gaze to Celine, and walking toward her. 'Our son needs you.'

Celine shakes her head and looks at Kai as he kneels down in front of her. 'I need you.'

If he's going to make this about him right now- 'We all need you.'

'He's gone.' She repeats as she looks past Kai, straight at me, 'And it hurts.'

Something rushes down my spine and I don't like it at all, but I can't look away from her.

'The pain isn't permanent.' Kai whispers, a hint of pain in his own voice. She looks into his eyes, channeling her pain to him now. 'It feels permanent.'

'It's not.' I say, making her look at me again, 'Don't let it win.'

She places her hand on Kai's shoulder, using him to slowly get up as he helps her stand on her feet.

She looks like she's going to collapse any second now.

'I'm done with all of this.' She mutters, wiping her face even though the tears keep coming.

'So leave.' I say, feeling my heart strain against my chest.

I don't know if Celine forgave me for all the shit I put her through, I mean I haven't done much for her to forgive me, but I can't keep doing this to her.

She needs to leave.

And I'm not talking about her staying away from me, I mean she needs to leave all of this behind.

She needs to go work at a normal hospital, one where they don't deal with people like me. She needs to stay with her son and watch him grow, not deal with stuff like this.

And as much as I hate to admit, I don't want her to leave. Because I know I won't find anyone who is as loyal as she is.

I will never find someone as helpful as she is. I will never find someone as supportive as she is.

I will never find another Celine Elloise Dufort.

'Go to your family.' She tries to take a deep breath and keeps her eyes on mine, debating her next decision. 'Go and live in France.'

She nods and peeks a glance at Kai, before turning back to me. Okay.

She doesn't have to say it, simply because she's exhausted, but I get it.

She's done. She's leaving.

And all I can do is watch as Celine walks out of the room, followed by Kai.

I look through the room and take a deep breath, remembering when I woke Vincent up to show me something he was working on.

He wasn't even pissed about it.

He just did what I told him to do, without hesitation.

And now he's gone.

'Rio.' I turn to the door and watch as Marco stops in the hall and looks at Vincent's room.

'Reports?' He nods, not once looking at me as he glances around the room.

I head over to the door and head out, quickly closing the door behind me so we can get this over with.

'Devon, Angelo, Quinten, Alex, and Archer are on their way here. I told them it was urgent so they're coming fast.' Just them?

'What about the others?' Something sorrowful flashes through his eyes, before he shakes his head. 'Nobody else picked up.'

Fucking hell...

Hunter wiped out most of our allies in less than three hours.

'Get everyone in the dining room, we-' 'They're already there.' He responds, taking a deep breath as he follows me back down the stairs.

I nod and head towards the dining room. Everyone's here except for Ariana, Theo, and Victoria.

'Any word from Tiago?' North asks, moving to the edge of her seat.

Norman and Valentina are both sitting on opposite sides, holding onto her hands.

Celine's sitting on the other side of the table, looking at Leroy and Leroy only, with Kai to her right.

And Brandon is comforting Killian across from the other girls.

'Not yet.' Marco replies, taking a seat next to Killian. 'What if he's-' 'We don't have time for this.'

They all look at me as I take a seat at the end of the table.

'What's our next move?' Valentina asks, staying seated next to North.

'We're splitting up.' They nod and wait for me to explain, 'Celine will go to France to stay with her family, Kai, you're going with her.'

Celine silently gets up from her chair and walks out of the room, followed by Kai who nods my way before rushing after her.

'Barsetti, I figure you want to stay with Killian, so you guys have to figure out where you are staying.' They nod and head to the living room, 'North, you're staying until everything is handled-' 'But I-'

She goes quiet when I look in her direction, squeezing Valentina's hand on the table.

'You're staying until everything is handled.' She swallows whatever it is she has to say and nods, looking at Valentina.

'What about Isabelle and I?' I turn to Valentina, my wife.

The woman I married less than three hours ago. The woman I have to stay away from until it's safe again.

Or at least safer.

'You're both staying with North. Travel across Italy, don't stay somewhere longer than three days, and keep moving.'

Valentina keeps her eyes on mine, anger flaring in those brown eyes as she lets North squeeze her hand a little longer.

'You guys should leave before the others get here.' Marco states, making Norman get up and head out.

She tries to make the other two move too, but they don't.

'He's dead isn't he?' North asks when Norman's footsteps fade down the hall.

For fuck's sake... I shake my head and look at the time.

The others should be here in less than ten minutes.

'He's not.'

'How do you know that? He got shot and we haven't heard from his since, what if he-' 'As long as we don't have a body, he's not dead.' I intervene, feeling my heart rate pick up at her words.

As if someone's holding a block of cement above my head, ready to squish me any second.

But he's alive.

He has to be.

And we'll find him. Or he'll find us.

'Now get up and go tell Victoria that she's staying with Ariana for a while.' North gets up, tears rolling down her face, and slowly lets go of the only woman left in the room.

'Give us a minute.' Marco leaves the room as well and I instantly walk over to her, grabbing her hand as I kneel down next to her.

'No matter what happens,' I start, looking into her eyes, 'Don't let them walk over you.'

She frowns, probably wondering what I'm talking about.

'Because they'll try to break you,' I say, something washing over me, something that makes my heart race, 'But they can't.'

'I don't want to leave you.' She whispers with a lump in her throat. As if she's about to break down in tears herself.

'You were strong before, but you're stronger now that you're a Curzio.' I know she never used our name to get anywhere, but I need her to understand that in moments like these, she could, 'Don't let them hurt you.'

'I don't-' 'I need you to be careful and aware of your surroundings until we're back together, okay?' She shakes her head and lets a tear escape when she brings my hands to her lips.

'Please don't send me away.' She begs, making my heart ache oh so painfully, 'I won't get in your way, I won't-' 'If anyone comes near you, I want you to kill them. I'll deal with the rest, just make sure you're safe. Even if you're scared, don't let them know you fear them.'

'We just got married and-' 'I know baby,' I pull her closer, taking a deep breath as I try to imprint her scent, 'I know.'

I'm not planning on dying because of this, but as we all know, this life doesn't go as planned.

And something might happen, we might never see each other again.

'Leon... What if he's dead?'

The block of cement lowers just an inch, almost hitting my head, and I bite through it. 'He's alive.'

He has to be.

'We'll find him and then get back to you guys.' I insist as she wraps her tiny arms around my waist.

'Promise me you'll come back to me.' She whispers against my chest while I hold her.

'I'll always come back to you, Cataleya.'

I hold her for a few more seconds, imprinting how she feels, smells, talks, and- Everything.

'They're here.' Marco says as he walks back into the room and looks at us. Fucking hell...

Valentina wipes her face and grabs my hand, before turning back to Marco.

'Tell everyone else to stay upstairs while we deal with this.' She says, before turning back to me.

I want her to go upstairs as well, but she heads over to my spot and pushes me into the chair, before taking a seat to my right.

'Valentina, I don't-' 'I won't show my fear,' She says, turning back to Marco, 'Let them in.'

Marco looks at me, wondering if I'm going to tell him to do something else instead, but I just nod and watch as he walks out of the room again.

I keep my eyes on Valentina, wondering what's gotten into her, and hear the front door open after some time.

They all walk into the room. Devon, Angelo, Quinten, Alex, and Archer. Most of them bruised up and bloody from what just happened.

Their men fill most of the room, some even wait in the hall, while their leaders are seated at our table.

'How did this happen?' Angelo asks, looking at me directly. 'I don't know.'

'What do you mean, you don't know? It was your wedding and you don't know how Hunter Steel got to it.'

I don't.

I knew there was a risk, but I didn't expect this.

I have never, in my entire life, seen this many dead people in such a short time.

'I thought you had everything dealt with?' Quinten asks, turning to me with pain in his eyes. 'So did I, but I didn't think he was capable of something like this.'

'A lot of people died today, Curzio. How are we supposed to recover from all of this?' Alex asks, making some men in the room agree with him.

'My brother got shot and we haven't heard from him since, if he's dead Curzio, I swear to god-' 'You'll what?' I ask, getting annoyed since they all start accusing us.

'I'll come after you.' Alex states, his voice as hard as stone.

But two can play this game.

'Are you really threatening me in my own house, Alex?' The whole room tenses, but I keep my eyes on Alex, who has a slight hint of fear in his eyes.

Just like everyone else in this room, he's afraid of me.

'We lost people we care about, don't blame us for being tense Rafael.' I scoff at Archer's comment and wait for Alex to back down.

As soon as he does, I look at the others. 'You should've had better security.' Jesus fucking Christ...

I want to shoot all of them. A straight bullet through their heads.

'How about instead of blaming us, you come up with a plan to get revenge on the people who are actually responsible for this bloodbath.'

All eyes turn to my wife, making me stop breathing for a second.

'Not trying to be rude, but do you even get how this works?' Alex asks, keeping his eyes on Valentina.

I almost intervene, ready to shoot him simply because I don't like his tone, but Valentina is faster.

'Do you?' She asks, raising a brow, 'Because you are blaming the wrong person.'

'No one is blaming anyone, Cataleya.' I will kill him...

'It sure sounds like you guys are.' She says, quickly looking at all of them. 'How can you guys act like we're the ones who killed everyone?'

They all stay silent, avoiding not just my gaze, but hers as well.

'Hunter Steel is the one we're after. He's the one who attacked, he's the one who killed your brother, he's the one who killed the people you care about, he's the one we should blame.'

They all look at her and blink a few times, 'He's the one we should be after.'

Pride washes over me when I notice the way they look at her.

She's the boss, even if they don't want to admit it. She's the one in charge.

'We will find him and make him suffer for what he did today.' I say, making everyone look at me. 'He can't be too far already, so we should search for him while he's still in Spain.'

Despite them being hesitant at first, they agree with what I have to say.

'And if there's anything you know about any of this, you better tell us now.'

Our eyes slightly widen at Valentina's statement, and everyone tenses as they glare at her.

But she seems completely unbothered.

Untouched.

'What is that supposed to mean?' Angelo asks, sounding a little defensive.

She turns to him and gives him a soft smile, one that would be an amazing cover-up before stabbing someone to death. 'Whatever you make of it.'

'Throw away your phones.' Devon says, making everyone turn to him.

He hasn't said a word ever since we entered the room. He has barely looked any of us in the face.

As if he's afraid to.

And he came alone as well... What is he trying to hide?

'Is there a reason behind your statement, Devon?' He looks at me and I can see his adam's apple bobbing for a split second.

It's enough for me to pull my gun and point it at him, making everyone else panic.

Every cell in my body is telling me to shoot him for whatever it is he did or didn't do, but I need to know what it is first.

'You better fucking talk.' I say, ignoring everyone who's telling me to drop my gun.

But Devon stays seated, not moving an inch. And even though he's good at hiding his fear, I can see it in his eyes.

He doesn't want to die just yet.

'About a week ago,' He starts, shocking most of the others in the room as they turn to him, 'I got a phone call.'

'You snitched.' Angelo says, also pulling his gun on Devon who's sitting across from him.

'He paid me a lot of money,' Devon says before turning to me, 'something you wouldn't do.'

'You won't enjoy that money when you're dead.' I say as I shoot a bullet straight through his head.

I notice Valentina flinching, while all the others stay seated as if it's nothing.

'We need to find out who the other traitors were and kill them all.' I say and they all nod in response.

'We'll contact you if we know more.' Quinten says, getting up from his seat, 'Is there anything else we can do?'

'Leave Hunter to me.'

I know they want him dead, but that's my part. I'll be the one to kill him.

And I won't let him escape this time.

They all nod and leave the house, their men following behind.

As soon as they're out of sight, everyone else comes back down the stairs.

'We're ready.' Brandon says, holding onto North's hand. 'Where are you going?' Marco asks, wondering where Brandon and Killian are staying.

'I'm going with Celine to France, make sure she's settled, and then I'll go to the Netherlands with Killian.' He explains, patting his brother on the back.

'You know the drill.' Brandon looks at me and nods, before turning to the others.

'I love you and stay safe.' He says as he heads out with Killian, heading to one of the cars.

Celine and Kai head out as well, not saying a word to anyone as they put Leroy in a car and drive off as well.

Valentina heads to her mom to quickly explain what's going on while Marco and Isabelle load everything up into one of the cars, leaving me with North.

'Rio.' She starts, making my blood boil already, 'If Tiago's-' 'Can you shut up about it?'

'Give him something to come home to.' She says, making me frown at her. 'What the fuck are you talking about?'

'Don't go on a rampage and get yourself killed,' She continues, 'Tiago needs his family for when he gets back. And you just married Leya, so technically you can't die.'

'Is this your way of telling me to stay safe?' If so, she's an absolute idiot.

She shrugs and looks ahead with tears in her eyes, 'Maybe.'

'North, I need you to stay with Valentina.' She takes a shaky breath and nods, before finally turning to me.

She's scared. An emotion I completely understand, but I need her to pull herself together. 'Don't leave her side until we're back together, okay?'

She nods again and turns back to Marco and Norman.

'Just stay safe, okay?' I nod and watch as Valentina makes her way over to us again. 'You too.' I reply as I walk toward my wife.

The wife I married barely four hours ago.

The wife I have to leave for god knows how long already.

'She started packing her bags right away, and I told her we're leaving already-' I pull her into my arms, pressing my lips on hers as I cup her face.

Heat rushes through me, melting the ice that was forming around my heart again.

See, if it was up to me, I would've killed everyone already.

Alex, Angelo, Quinten, Archer, but most of all, Hunter Steel.

But I have a wife to think of.

If I just kill off everyone, they'll get revenge by killing her.

And I can't let that happen.

She kisses me back, her hands grasping my shirt to pull me closer. As if we're at the altar again.

'How did you know?' I ask, letting my curiosity get the best of me.

I should be glad that she handled it so well.

'Someone had to know something,' She says, giving me a quick kiss, 'but none of that matters right now.'

It does matter, just not right now.

Because right now, I just want to hold her. I just want to have this moment with her.

'Throw away your phones at the side of the road and buy a burner phone somewhere. Only call me when it's an emergency and text me where you're staying.' She inhales deeply, holding her breath for a few seconds, before exhaling and slowly letting go of me.

'I will. I will, just-' Tears form in her eyes again and I can finally see the fear she tried to hide the entire time, 'Don't do anything stupid and stay safe.'

'I'll try.' I joke, trying to make her smile. But she gives me a shove and glares at me instead.

'I'm serious! You can't go on a killing spree because it will get you killed!'

I roll my eyes and pull her into my arms one more time, letting her scent fill every cell in my body for one last time.

'I promise I'll be careful.' Or I'll try...

Someone slams a car door on the driveway, making her turn to the sound.

Marco awkwardly looks our way, waiting for us to part ways, but I keep her close to me.

I don't want this. I don't want to watch as she leaves, I don't want her to leave.

Valentina slowly pulls me towards the car, not wanting to let go of me either.

'Stay safe, okay?' She nods and kisses me again, before walking over to the car.

Norman's behind the wheel, North in the back.

She starts the car and drives off, leaving me in complete silence with Marco.

But it's a heavy silence.

The calm before the storm type of silence.

And we both know what that means because we've been in positions like this before.

We are far from done with all of this.

'Enzo called.' He says as we head back inside. I stare at the blood on the floor as I reach the dining room, slowly trailing it back to Devon's body. 'How many people died?'

'Fifty survived, including us.'

Out of the one-hundred and fifty people that attended my wedding, only fifty walked out alive.

Fucking hell... 'I thought we shot most of his men down before it got out of hand?' Marco nods and exhales slowly, also looking at Devon's body now. 'We did, but the explosion killed everyone that was hiding.'

Just like that.

'How many of his people made it out alive.' Hunter came with sixty men.

They dressed in black, making them stand out from all the other guests that came in white.

As if he was trying to mock me, trying to show me that he could ruin everything in just a split second.

But I made sure to shoot everyone who was dressed in black.

Every. Single. One.

'Hunter and eight others tried to escape. They spread out, two got caught while the others made it out.'

How? I feel my anger rising again, wondering how I'm going to keep myself from going on that crazy killing spree Valentina was talking about.

'And there's something else.' He mumbles, hesitantly dragging his eyes back to me. 'What?'

'Marcello.' My anger almost disappears, filling me up with fear, 'He's in the hospital, he might not make it.'

'Celine can-' Fuck... She's not far, but I can't drag her back already, 'I thought they escorted him out with the others?'

'He didn't want to leave without you and Leon.' Fucking hell...

I need to go to the hospital and see how he's holding on, and pray that he'll make it.

'Any word from Leon?' Marco shakes his head and moves towards the dead body on the other side of the room, probably to get rid of it.

'We should go, we have a lot to do.' I state, making him stop doing whatever it is he was planning to do to Devon's body.

I'll call someone to clean this mess up later.

'We're going to visit Marcello first.' I continue as I head towards the garage, taking one of the last cars, 'And then we're going to hunt down everyone that had anything to do with this.'

Marco nods as he follows me to the car, hoping in the passenger side. 'Send men to get rid of Devon's crew.'

I don't need something like this happening again.

We'll kill them all, including Hunter Steel.

But first I want to make him pay.

'Make some phone calls, I need tabs on Lucas Rosewood. And I need to get the names of the others involved.'

Marco reaches for his phone without hesitation, instantly making some calls as I drive off.

Leonardo, you better get here soon...

Also, that's the reason this chapter is a bit shorter and all over the place. I still hope you enjoyed it! I didn't proofread this one, so if there are some mistakes, I'm sorry.

I LOVE YOU GUYS <3

Have an amazing day/night, see you in the next chapter loves!!
