“W-w-what are you doing here?” I ask, completely stunned. I’ve stopped in the entryway into the dining room, unable to move. I’m not even sure who I’m talking to: my father or Gabriele. What the hell is happening? Did…did Gabriele kidnap me? My father? Why are they together? They’ve hated each other for as long as I can remember. Even when Gabriele and I were together, my father only spoke to him with thinly veiled disgust and Gabriele looked at my father like he was a bug beneath his shoe. The only reason that Gabriele tolerated my father was because of me. The only reason that my father tolerated Gabriele was because Don Reina, Gabriele’s father, could have had him taken out whenever he wanted to. I’ve known Gabriele since I was a child still wearing pigtails and with braces. I’d never been afraid of him. Not until now. Not until I saw that possessive look on his face as his eyes roam my body in the barely there dr

“You sold me to screw over the biggest mafia family in town and to clear away some gambling debt. To a man I don’t even know anymore. This is what you’re telling me?” I can’t looking at Gabriele anymore, the feeling of fear too much as it flows through my veins. I don’t know what he’s been through in the years since he left, but whatever has happened to him, his look leaves me with the icy feeling that prey must feel whenever there is a fierce predator around.The overwhelming need to get away.And the certainty that you can’t.So I turn to my father in hopes that this is all an elaborate lie. That he hasn’t given me to someone that would slit his throat as sure as he would shake his hand.But I know that it’s true by the blank stare that my father gives me. “I thought that this was preferrable to the previous arrangement that you thought we had. Though, I will have to say, you got Luciano Jr. wrapped around your fingers quicker than I would have thought possible. A

I can’t stand being in this room any longer! After Gabriele had locked me in here AGAIN, the only other person that I saw was Rebecca when she brought in my food tray and then came back to pick it up. I had eaten everything on the tray. It would do me no good to pass out while I’m trying to get out of here. Placing a protective hand over my stomach, I think that I also have to keep my baby safe. What I do know is comprised of two things: 1) I have to get to Dante and warn him about the danger he and his family are in and 2) To do that, I have to get the hell out of here. Now! I could try to find a phone, but that just risks me sticking around in the open for too long. It’s too easy to get caught. I’d do better to spend my time getting keys and a car. I can call from a business on the road. Now I just have to find a way out of here. I know that people think rich kids attend posh schools where ever

Dante’s POV Two days. Two fucking days without her smile. Without her laughter. Without the light that she brings to my world. Quinn’s been gone for two days and we’re no closer to finding her. We don’t even know who has her. Scratch that. We have no proof her has her. I know in my gut that it’s Reina. He was all over her and made no qualms about wanting her back, even with me standing in the room with him. I know that he has her. But without proof, there is nothing that I can do about it. There is no way that we can just walk into enemy turf and demand to know where my wife is. That’s a declaration of war. And without knowing that Quinn is safe, there’s nothing I can do. Even my contacts inside the Reina organization are coming up short. They’re saying the Gabriele has been gone for three days and they don’t know where he is, lining up with the timeline that Quinn was taking. But this isn’t abnormal for th

Dante’s POV “What do you mean the don of the Reina family is your father’s best friend?” You would think that with as much rage as I’m feeling, I would be screaming. But I’m not. My voice is quiet. Soft. Almost conciliatory. I think I’m in shock. Stefan gives me a pained look, his knuckles white as he grips the edge fo the marble counter we are sitting at. I can tell that he doesn’t want to say this, that he knows how dangerous his next few words could be. Taking a deep breath, he begins. “My father and Giuseppe Reina were in the Army together as young men just out of high school. My father didn’t come from a rich family, in fact his father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania and his mother worked in a local grocery store. If my father wanted an education, he had to go into the military to get it. “Giuseppe, as you probably know, was the second son of the Reina family. His brother was much older than him, ne

Dante’s POV I’ll say this for my father, when shit goes sideways, he handles it like a fucking pro. He had been beyond pissed when I told him everything that Stefan had said. He had been especially livid when I told him about Pablo stealing Quinn and how I was certain that it was the Reinas that were behind it. And then he’d been on top of it, having his men in the three states where Julian Rothschild had been seen over the past week: New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Luckily, there aren’t many casinos in any of these states and my father seems to have his fingers in all of them. Within an hour he gave me a call back. “The most recent place that he’s been was Plainridge Park Casino. The owner is some unimportant relation to your mother’s aunt’s cousin or some shit like that. He was more than happy to help us out and got video of the fucker. He’s willing to bring in the waitress and the dealer for the poker table he was sitting at.

Quinn’s POV I’ve been here a week now. So much has happened and yet I feel like I’m living the same day over and over again, like some fucked up version of the movie Groundhog’s Day.Within an hour after Pablo had been killed, his body was removed and a doctor was here to check on me. I was badly bruised from the fall, but not far enough along that it would hurt the baby. The confirmation of my pregnancy seemed to piss Gabriele off so much that he stormed out of the room. The door that he slammed behind him hit it so hard that the frame splintered and the door bounced, the knob hitting the wall hart enough to dent it.I was so scared that he would take it out on me and the baby that I hooked a chair under the doorknob of the bedroom so that it would be harder for him to get in and then slept in the locked bathroom with a heavy table pushed against the door.I heard the doorknob jiggle at one point during the night, the chair scrape against the floor slightly, but it he

Dante’s POV We knew that it was the Reinas from interrogating Julian. We knew from the GPS in the car that Julian was in that he had been staying at a hotel and had gone to several different places in a 100-mile area going all the way up into Vermont. We knew that Pablo was fucking shit up for us with the shipments and drugs. We knew everything that had been going on. Except for where Quinn is. “Get back here to the city,” my father demands of me on the phone. “No! We’re so close, Padre. We’ll track her down directly from the spots that Rothschild stopped. I can’t just leave her here. Who knows what the fuck Reina will do!” I’ve never gone against my father’s wishes. Never. I even married a woman that I didn’t know based on what he demanded of me. But I can’t do this. I can’t leave her. “I understand, son. But I’ve requested a meeting with Giuseppe, which he’s granted. If you turn ar
