I secure the knives around my thigh as I step out of the car confidently. I close the door slowly and start walking up the stairs to one of the most luxurious hotels here in Vienna. My pastel green dress floats behind me, slightly rising up with the steps I take, but not enough to reveal my weapons. I readjust my bag that holds a gun on my shoulder, before kindly greeting the doorman that opened the door for me, a grin plastered on my face.

I walk trough the lobby, my heals clicking on the marble floor and with a slow mouvement I brush a strain of hair out of my face. At the same time I fix the ear piece that is in my right ear, before whispering a few words.

"Gab stop staring at me like that from the bar. It's creepy." I quietly mumble in a mocking tone and see Gab smiling at me from the corner of my eyes, which affirms that he received the message wide and clear. "I'll be out in two, so don't start messing around." I warn him silently. With him we never know after all.

"Don't worry princess Reed, I am sure you will get it done with closed eyes. I just need to keep an eye on the Queen of Burning Heath, Jace's orders." Gab replies in my ear piece and I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes at his slightly mocking comment.

I don't reply back, as I continue my walk toward the elevator of the hotel, the eyes of Gab and other men from Burning Heath burning on my back to make sure I am safe.

With a firm hand I press on the button to call the elevator and wait for it to arrive. It doesn't take long before I am inside waiting for it to bring me up to the twenty-third floor where I'll find the only Royal Suite of the hotel.

I laugh to myself at the easiness of my mission, as I stride with slow steps towards the end of the corridor to reach my destination. You dumb prick. Not a single guard lingering in the corridors, probably thinking that he outsmarted everyone by hiding his ugly face in here like a coward.

I notice the cameras in the corners. "Clear ?" I ask through the ear piece and wait for Greyson to give me the answer that I want. "All good sis, cameras are out, you're clear."

His words provoke a wicked grin to spread on my lips, my hand already in my bag to grab my gun out of there. Let's get this done, I have been waiting too long for this to happen. To be exact three years. I have finally build up the courage and strength to do it by myself like I should.

I stand in front of the suite room clear my throat and knock on the door.

"Room service !" I yell in a soft voice, loud enough for him to hear me. Grumbling and shuffling resonates in the room, followed by steps. It's eight in the morning you ignorant pig, there is no room service at this time.

His first attempt to open the door fails and I sigh, unwilling to wait a second longer for him to open the door. So I kick it open with my heel.

The door swings open which sends him flying to the ground, the power of the kick taking us both by surprise. I lift my arm up pointing my gun straight at his head, as I watch his face expression decompose when he gets a good sight of me to make him realise what is happening to him right now. He crawls backwards on the ground to attempt to get away from me, but it makes it all so much easier for me. Now I can close the hotel room door close and just then he realises his mistake ; no more way out asshole, it's only the two of us now.

With slow steps I make my way towards Nick, taking in his fragile state, imprinting it in my mind so I could forever remember the guy that treated me like shit for 10 years, begging for mercy. Mercy he never once gave me when I was in his place completely petrified and injured from head to toe, as he continued his assault on me.

"How does it feel Nick ?" I question Nick that is now cornered in his own hotel room with a gun pointed to his head. "Being held a gun to your head, knowing that there is nothing you can do to escape death anymore. And I am the one kind enough to give it to you even though you deserve nothing as nice as death. You deserve to rot in hell." I spit out the words to him, enjoying every second of this encounter.

"What ? You lost your tongue ? No insults to throw at me ?" I pout slowly walking around the room, not taking my gun off it's target. I take in the bottles of champagne and beers lingering the room's marble floor, the clothes scattered around, everything that make me realise just how useless he really is. Running away from life, hoping from hotel to hotel after robbing Mariano's family and gang from the money they once had. It's all he has left now. Money and his drunken state.

Not even his mother who was once my foster mother wanted to stay by his side. She overdosed on pills, probably after the death of her husband I killed. Not that I care.

"Plea-please... don't d-do this to me...Magn-" Nick voices with a tremble, but I cut him off as he starts to say my name.

"Don't you dare say my name you pig." I bolt out, anger rising in me. " You have no right to actually address me. Not after all these years. It's over for you Nick, there is no going back now."

I make my way towards him, slow agonising steps to make his fear last as long as it could. "What ? Nobody to help you now ?" I say a laugh escaping my throat, as I feel the power take over me. I have been waiting too long for this. Too long to eliminate this monster from the surface of the planet, especially after I found out he kept going his assaults on younger girls.

"You can keep begging Nick. But I want you to remember the faces of Eda, Chloé, Kenzy, Amber, Storm, Carla..." I start naming the girls he assaulted throughout the years and watch his face contort in fear, as he reminds himself of the girls. " And me. I want you to remember me. I changed. I have a life, a family, friends and everything I could wish for. And you ? You have nothing left. Nothing."

The only thing separating me from him right now is the gun in my right hand that is resting on his forehead. He is trembling like a leaf knowing damn well that this floor is his deathbed and nobody will even search for him. I enjoy every second of this moment and finally I do what I have been eager to do for quite some time, but never really had the courage to do it.

I pull the trigger.

His limp body falls backwards, the blood slowly leaving his body from the hole in his head to form a pool under him. Without looking back, I tug my gun back in my bag, open the door of the hotel room with my head held high and walk out of there with a weight lifted off my shoulders.

The past is now finally behind me and I can take a step forward in my life and face what is yet to come. The Cambell's family line finally dead.

It's over.

A deep sigh goes past my lips once I am back in the elevator, but this time I feel so much relief I can't even express it. Nick's presence was just weighing on me and deep down I still felt his threat. I know we wouldn't come close to me now that I am co-leader of Burning Heath along with Jace's. Jeez he wouldn't even have close to me. But still, my mind couldn't rest until I knew for sure that Nick was no longer breathing.

So many people proposed to do the job, but I didn't let them. It was my task and I completed it. No regrets.

The elevator emits a little ting, before the doors open to let me move freely to the exit of the Hotel that kept a monster under their roof without knowing. I spot Gab still at the same place as before, sipping his Dry Martini and I feel his gaze burning through me as I make my way outside. It doesn't take him long to follow behind me, making sure to tip the bartender way more than he should. With one flick of my fingers, the rest of my men follow behind.

I exit the hotel, a smile making it's way on my lips, slightly tilting my head upwards as I let the sun shine on my skin. I breath in taking a deep breath, before releasing it slowly as I start making my way down the stairs, power filling me up.

At the bottom of the wide stairs, Rage is patiently waiting for me Jace leaning against her with a wide smirk, looking handsome as ever in his slick Black suit. He opens the door for me so I could slip in the leather seats and gently pecks my lips, before closing the door behind me. He flicks his fingers and in seconds the men that were assuring my security are all making their way towards the multiple SUV's that surround us to leave the hotel's property. Only Gab stays behind in his Black Camaro.

Jace makes his way around the car to the driver's side and enters the it, his eyes digging in mine. His eyes don't even leave mine as he lift his fingers up, the shiny jewellery enveloped in his palm. I grin and tare my eyes away from his and gently graze his finger to grab ahold of the familiar diamond ring.

My ring.

The ring he gave me when he asked me to marry him a little more than a year from now on. Jace slips the sliver ring around my finger when I extend my hand to give him access to it. Gently he lets the jewel slip over my ring finger and gives it a kiss once it's perfectly resting on my hand. Still compelled by the beauty of the gift even after a year, I have to tare away from it to see my husband smirking at me with a proud look on his face.

"You're okay love ?" he asks me and I give him a small nod of approval before I lean back against the seat of the car. Instinctively, I bring a hand over my stomach slowly caressing and drawing small circles on it to smooth it. Jace joins my hand, when he puts his larger hand over mine and I watch as he can't help himself, but to give my belly a kiss.

"I promise you Riley, you mom is the best one you could ever wish for" Jace whispers against my stomach addressing our little girl that appears to three months old. I can't help the smile that grows on my lips, when I realise how perfect Jace would be as a father. "The most badass and beautiful too. She has it all."

He is right. I have it all and I can't wait to finally be able to meet our little Riley when she comes to this world.

Jace Reed and Magnolia Knight became

Jace Reed and Magnolia Reed.

Another Reed, Riley, is on its way to this world and I couldn't be happier for them. They deserve it more than anything after going through all this shit for years.

What are your thoughts on Magnolia's pregnancy ? And about her mariage with Jace ?

What about that dumb prick known under the name of Nick ? Nick, Prick, same thing after all, am I right ?

It's over. I can't believe it. This was the final and last chapter of Magnolia Knight and her life.

Her character and all the others have grown in my heart and I don't want to say goodbye. I just want to hold unto them for as long as I can without needing to let go. It would hurt less.

Being able to write her life gave me an opportunity to live an other life than my own and I am so grateful for it. She was my comfort character, the one I turned too when I felt like the world was crushing me under its foot and she helped me make it all bearable. Jace was the one I turned to when I needed to be held in my arms, as I let my tears fall. Blake was the one I turned to when I needed to unleash my anger.

So many more emotions were poured into this book and the characters, but I can't list them all.

I hope her story and her character as well as the others helped you forget about this world for a little while.

I want to thank you so much for staying with me until here (if you are still reading which I highly doubt), and I want to tell you that I couldn't have done this without your support. Please stay as awesome as you are and never stop reading no matter people say about it. If you like it DO IT !

And for one last time :

I love you,

Xx
