To control my rage and and fear was almost impossible. My phone was shattered across the room, I'm screaming at the top of my lungs for my men to prepare for war, and I had the sudden urge to cry. He had my baby. My beautiful, gorgeous, perfect, flower. I knew this would happen, but I couldn't let her go. Never. I knew bringing her into my lifestyle was wrong, but I am selfish.

The reminder of seeing her hurt caused me to end my paralyzing rage and to get my head in order. My men collected in front of me, encased in weapons ready for orders. "Alright men! The man I call my brother has my girl. Not only that, he has killed twenty-eight of our clients." If I didn't have their attention before, I knew I had it now. All different colored eyes stared right at me. They knew if someone screwed with their familia they would be dead or left onto the streets to die if we didn't fix this mess.

"I do not care if we share the same blood, I want him dead. Now all patrol and task workers will come with me. The rest of you will stay here and grab more intel if we loose them. Got it?!" A loud echo of the men and women's agreement resounded through the room.

I left and grabbed my own armory, but was stopped with a hard grip on my shoulder. "What do you want me to do Jason?" Knowing my best friend had my back made my sunken heart raise a little. "Stay here. If neither one of us is here, nothing will get done." A smirk grew on his face, while he patted my shoulder for reassurance. I didn't need it since I knew I was bringing my girl back alive, but it helped remove some of my worry. I was out the door and had my men drive like Nascar drivers that just drank multiple energy drinks while high.

We pulled up half a mile from the cabin within twenty minutes, and gunned down about fifteen men within five. My want to see her to make sure no more harm was done was making me inpatient. If I wasn't in the cabin in the next two minutes, seeing her perfect face, something or someone was going to be very fucked up.

Knowing I needed her in my arms right now, I chose two of my men to follow me to the cabin, while the rest staid behind to outnumber my dickhead of a brother's clan. Once the guards posted at the door were taken care of, I walked in and the sight before me almost made my knees give.

Directly in front of me sat the love of my life, zip tied to a chair. Her arms and legs were coated in blood while both of her soft cheeks were swollen and bruised. Her hair laid as a knot, tangled on her head, while tears streamed down her face. A passed out and slightly bruised Maria laid on the floor beside a bunch of my dead guards surrounding Lilly.

"Angel?" The moment she heard my voice, a loud sob broke from her, causing my own tears to roll down my face. Mindless, my legs ran over to her but a cock of a gun stopped my legs and my youngest brother showed his presence. "Hey big brother."

An evil sneer on his face made me realize I wasn't getting Lilly out alive unless I gave him what he wanted. I tried to step closer, but the he shoved his gun directly on her head causing my advance to stop. Lilly's cries grew louder, making me freak out. "SHUT UP!" He dug the gun into the side of her head and wrapped his other arm around her neck. "Angel, everything is going to be okay. Breathe for me." Her cries quickly turned to sniffles as her gorgeous hazel orbs stared directly at mine.

"Jason, enough with this sappy bull shit. Where the fuck is my contract!?" While still holding my eyes with her's, I dug the crumpled paper from my back pocket. "I already signed it. Once you sign, everything will be all yours. Just let Lilly and I go once this is all done." Lilly started to scream at me to not give it to him, but the papers were ripped out of my grip. Causing a few paper corners to stay in my fingers. "Okay, you have the contract Michael, now let her go."

He looked down at the paper with a smile and slowly looked back up at me. "Now what's the fun in that?" I lunged for my brother knowing instantly his plan, but the sound of a gunshot echoed through the room while the soft thunk of a wooden chair landed on its side. I knocked the gun from his hands while my two men held my shit of a brother down. I whipped my head over to Lilly so hard I got whiplash.

Blood.

Lots of it.

My screams and cries of agony were the only sound I could hear while I rushed over to the toppled chair. I cut the zip ties from her wrist and ankles and coddled her while I sobbed so hard I couldn't breath. I promised I would keep her alive. I promised. "GET THAT FUCKER OUT OF MY SIGHT!" My screamed croaked while I cried for the worst pain that no one should ever experience.

One man dragged my unconscious brother out of the room while I stared at her face trying to remove her hair from her forehead. Just praying and hoping she would open those eyes of her's. I was so focused on her the whole time, I never saw Maria be taken out of the room, still unresponsive.

"Boss?" I ignored Vincent, the only other man in the room. "We need to get her to a hospital right now." His words floated right over my head. I saw from the corner of my eye that he was moving closer to me and my love. Pulling out my gun, I aimed for between his eyes. "Don't come any closer you fucker." My teeth were so clenched, that spit flew onto his pale face. "Sir, the bullet nicked the back of her head. She is alive since I see her breathing but she is loosing a lot of blood. We really need to take her to a hospital."

I quickly felt for a pulse, and although faint, it was there. "Get the car Vincent."

It was honestly a good thing Jason left me behind. These tech geeks and in-training newbies sucked ass. Every fucking minute I have a person in my face asking me what they need to do or what information do we have on this and that.

Right after Jason left, I had some newbies take Jason's mother back home. While Jason was stubborn, this woman kicked so many balls before we could grip her down and handcuff her to her seat in the car. Sure Jason would receive some shit later on, but its not my problem. It's just a little sad that a couple of baby makers had to perish.

It took a total of three hours of illegal cyber shit to fit all the puzzle pieces together. Although Jason and I knew the reason and why Michael wanted the business, we didn't understand how he got so far without us noticing. A couple of moles were killed, but somehow he knew about stuff Jason and I didn't even tell the men. That's why I now know you can't trust a fucking maid. More specifically, Maria. It's amazing what greed and jealousy does to people.

I went outside to call Jason to let him know the new news, but a call from Vincent rang instead. I answered by the first ring. "You got her?" Heavy breathing was on the other line, while Jason's screams in the background 'to fucking drive faster' was heard. "Lilly is in critical condition and were taking her to the hospital about thirty minutes from the house. The other car is heading back with an unconscious Micheal and Maria who just have a few bruises."

I started to sweat a little. Nothing was going the way we planned. And now knowing about Maria, our original plan just turned into to complete shit. "Make sure both of them are sent to the basement before they-"

Before I could finish my sentence, a loud explosion was heard, while I met darkness within seconds.
