Everything was shattered, things were being thrown around as gunshots echoed through out the whole house. Maids and guards were running around the place trying to fight back to whoever attacked the estate.

" Follow me. " Victoria barked pulling my arms up the staircase.

She had her gun up ready to shoot away who came in our way while I tried my best to stay calm and not panicking.

We made it to Seth's office in no time. Victoria slammed the door shut before walking to the bookshelf typing in a few codes. I on the other hand ran and grab a few guns and blades that we could use later if this plan of staying inside the secret room failed.

The bookshelf started shaking then slide opened revealing a dark room. Footsteps were coming our way into the office, we both rushed inside and before we knew it the secret chamber was closed once again.

" That was close. " Victoria panted as she tried to light a candle.

I didn't even realize there were candles inside. And, no electricity? Really?

" How old is that candle, Vic? It just made the whole room smell like shit. " I said in disgust.

" What? This is a lavender scented candle, aunt gigi specially bought it from France. " she gasped looking a bit insulted.

What? I was just stating truth.

" It smells really bad. I'm going to puke if you don't put it out. " I said pinching my nose close.

" Smell like lavender to me but okay. We have loads of candles in here. " she shrugged before lighting more candles around the room.

After, the room was all lighted up around the room. We both sat down hugging our knees to our chests praying this would all be over soon.

" Is it better now? " Victoria asked raising her eyebrow.

" Yeah. " I nodded my head.

" But, why not put light in here? " I asked looking around the brick room.

This was a medium sized room fit for at least five people, there was a single couch in the middle of the room, a bed at the end of the square room, a table, and a fridge in the corner.

" What if the enemy cut off the electricity? " she asked smirking.

" Okay, Einstein. " I shook my head at her.

" This is the most shittiest safe room in the whole estate but it is the closest to us. So, we will have to live through this. " Victoria sighed.

As we then sat in silence, I couldn't help but wonder how those men in black mask got to the house. Seth made sure security was tight and secured everyday, and the codes were being changed every other week.

It was impossible for outsiders to get in without permission. Unless someone inside let them in.

" There's no way they could get in here without helps. " I said playing with the gun I had stolen.

" Are you saying there is a snitch? " she asked looking shocked.

" Have you seen the security around here? All those codes cameras and men? There's no way they could get through those obstacles. "

" Thinking like a true Don's wife. " Victoria smirked patting my back.

" So? What do you think? " I asked.

" You're right. And, we're so going to find out whoever is behind this. " she said through her gritted teeth.

After almost an hour and a haft of sitting safely in the candle lighted room away from the chaos happening outside, I was starting to get bored and wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of here.

Victoria kept making small talks here and there trying to lift up my sour mood but failed miserably.

The door to the room we were in suddenly shook before slowly opening up. I instinctively grabbed the loaded gun into my hand while motioning Victoria to do the same.

" There's no way they can get in here. Only those who has Salvatore's blood running in their vein know the codes and the hidden rooms. " Victoria said with widened eyes as we both stood on our guard.

The door opened revealing a tall figure rushing inside toward us with a gun in his hand. The little lights that all those candles were providing made it slightly hard to see the face.

And, before we knew it the door was slammed shut again.

" Brandon? " Victoria asked in disbelief lowering her gun.

" Are you guys okay? " he asked checking the both of us from heads to toes.

I recognized this raven haired guy with hazel eyes as Brandon King, the under Don, one and only best friend of my husband. His hair that seemed to be always neatly styled was messed up like he had been running his hand through it a hundred times, his used to be handsome face was bloody and filled with blue and purple bruises here and there.

If he looked like this, I didn't want to think of what my husband must be looking like right now. Was he okay?

" Where's Seth? "

" How did you get in here? "

Victoria and I asked at the same time.

" I know the codes obviously. " he shrugged looking at Victoria liked she was dumb.

" Only the bloodlines know. How the hell did you get in? Are you the snitch? " She snapped loading her gun once again.

" Chill woman. Remember the time I almost died and Seth gave me his blood to save my life? I basically have his blood running in my damn vein right now. So, he figured I could know the codes. " Brandon explained in one breath.

Smart guy. If he explained any slower, Victoria must have shot him by now.

" And, a snitch really? I've been here long enough to know not to betray your cousin. And, I'm his best friend for god sake. " he said looking offended.

Victoria gave him an apologetic smile before shrugging.

" Where's my husband? Is he okay? " I asked.

" Seth was shot but he is okay. On his way to attack the Vipers right now. " he said looking a bit concerned.

" Why the hell didn't you stop him? The attack was supposed to be next week. And, he was shot for god sakes. " I said rubbing my forehead in disbelief.

" It took more than a bullet to kill a Salvatore, sis. " Victoria smirked.

This whole goddamn family was insane. It ran in their blood.

" Do you think your husband would listen to me? " Brandon asked. I shook my head.

" Well, what are we still doing here? Let's follow him. " I said.

" Seth will kill me if I let you do that. We best stay here until he gets back. " Brandon shook his head.

" True. We don't wanna die. " Victoria continued.

I grunted before sitting back down in defeat.

He better came back in one piece or I would beat his ass into a fucking coma.
