Mark looked up from the laptop when the door swung open to reveal the security guard he had sent outside a couple of minutes ago.

He slammed the laptop closed, straightening to his full height. “What'd you find? Are they outside?”

The guard nods once. “Yes, sir! Just like you said but they're positioned about fifty yards from the main gate.”

“Hmmm…” Mark digested the information, rubbing his beard. “What else? Are they playing something or what?”

“I don't…know, sir. We didn't see much because we didn't want to draw too much attention to ourselves and-”

“Enough!” Mark barked, tired of hearing excuses all the time. He turned his back on the man, which should have been the cue for the guard to leave as he was about to open his laptop but the man still waited.

Cursing under his breath, he whirled about. “What the hell are you still doing here? Get out!!” He yelled, startling the man into action.

It wasn't until he heard the door slam closed behind him, satisfied that he was alone that he

    Everything was set in place and according to the plan, Tyler would be the one to go first.Once they got a signal from him they would storm in, but first, he needed to go in and case the area.His heart was pounding so fast, like a drum as he stood mere ten feet away from the warehouse.That anxious feeling of knowing everything could go wrong in less than a minute didn't make him calm.He couldn't shake it off despite having the assurance of his men and Giorgio's behind. David's intel was accurate because Tyler could spot Mark's car and a couple of other cars around the building but even at that it felt like something was missing.Sucking in a deep breath and letting it go harshly, Tyler ducked his head, pushing the cap around his face lower to shield his face from anyone as he ran towards the building.Using the schematic he'd stared at for the better part of an hour, Tyler tried to recall some things.Spotting the small window at the far part of the house, he ran towards it at the

    “Tyler, can you hear me?” Giorgio was busy yelling in his ear but due to the sudden new faces, Tyler had to keep mute.Luckily, that was enough for them to know that something was wrong.Thankfully prior to that time, Tyler had issued strict instructions saying that if 10 minutes passed without them hearing from him, that was a free pass for them to barge into the warehouse.“Aren't you going to say anything or has cat got your tongue?”Tyler's face remained stoic. “I don't have anything to say other than…where is Katerina?”“She's safe, sleeping somewhere you can't find her,” Mark said smugly.Tyler noticed his peculiar choice of words, cocking his head to the side. “What do you mean?” It was a weak attempt at distracting Mark but he caught on.“Don't move!” Mark barked out. “And put your hands where I can fucking see them!” he ordered sternly, making a signal so one of his men took a step towards Tyler, holding his gun up as a sign of force.“Fine, fine. I'll do as you ask…just don'

    Tyler walked forward carefully making sure his gun was leveled at Mark's face, so if the son of a bitch tried to make a shady move, the next thing his face would be plastered up against the wall. “Where the hell is Katerina?” Tyler asked.“Now, since you're the Mister bad guy, why don't you figure it out?” Mark arched a brow. Tyler flipped off the safety on his gun. “I'm not joking with you, Mark. I will blow you to smithers if you don't tell me where she is.”Mark's eyes hardened. “Go on then, do it” he dared. “Maybe then you'll find out where she is.” he let out a mock gasp. “Oh, wait…you can't! I'm the only one who knows where she is!” He let out a maniacal laughter, pissing Tyler off.This fool actually thought he was messing around.“Tyler, where are you? We need to find Katerina.” Giorgio's voice came through the earpiece but Tyler ignored him.Squeezing the trigger when he was certain his aim was correct, Tyler fired off a shot at Mark's knee.Mark let out a startled squeal, s

    A couple of hours earlier….“Hey, get up!” There was a loud banging on the front door of her cell, waking Katerina from her deep sleep.She started, prying her eyes wide open. “What are you…”Before she even had the chance to comprehend what was going on, she heard a loud screech as they jerked the door wide open, and three bulky, heavy-looking mean guys stormed into her cell with handcuffs.“Stand up!” One with dreads barked at her like she was a dog, taking a menacing step towards her.Instantly, she raced up from her bed hugging the wall.Fuck, the weapon that she had crudely made was hidden behind those guys and there was no way she could get to it on time without them catching her.Her eyes darted over at the open doorway, wishing that she could somehow run past them and get to freedom but no such thing.“Don't even think about it!” He growled, flexing his fists and muscles.Saying that is just like telling a fish not to swim.Gritting her teeth, Katerina muttered a prayer under

    The guy was surprised, his eyes bulging as the makeshift whip circled his throat, squeezing it. He started to choke, banging his hands on the back door of the van, trying to get help from his colleague. “Wa…wait, ple…please…”Katerina jumped down, aware that time was of the essence, and started to wrap her arms around him to finish what she'd started.She had never killed anyone before but she wasn't thinking about that now, her survival instinct running wild, plus the adrenaline pumping in and out of her body could be a little intoxicating.Just as the guy was growing lax in her hands, his trashing reducing as his eyes fluttered shut and slowly gave up the fight…the driver jumped on her back the force of his weight sending her crashing to the floor.Due to the divider that separated her from the other guys she never noticed how big he was and now being faced with him, she doubted that she would be able to beat him or even make it out of this alive, judging by the rage in his eyes.“

    “You're gonna have to shoot me before I lower my weapon!” Katerina called out bravely, despite her heart beating like a drum.Analyzing the situation, she knew that it wasn't going to benefit her but after everything that she's been through, she made up her mind to either fight till her death or go down swinging.The fear of them breaking her spirit scared her more than actually dying.The other guy- presumably the one that barked at her- took a step further, leveling his gun at her chest.Katerina steadied her weapon, sucking in a quivering breath.Strangely, she wasn't so scared of the unknown.They both stood a couple of feet apart, the tension racketeering up a notch as each person waited for the other to strike.A single bead of sweat rolled down Katerina's face but even the effort to wipe it off seemed too much to ask for.“Okay, then. So be it.” The guy chuckled, flipping off the safety and-“Stand down, Duke.” A manly voice boomed out, startling Katerina's closed eyes.She rai

    “Where are you taking me to?” Katerina asked after they'd been walking for a while.The new guy that just came in introduced himself to her as Lucas, Luke for short. “To the main site.”“Wait, um... isn't that like back to where I'm coming from?”Lucas sensed the drag in her tone. “Well, yes it is but there's someone there that I think you are going to want to meet.”For some reason, her chest was filled with dread. “Unless that someone is my husband, I don't think I will want to meet anybody.” “Sure you will!” Luke chirped. “He's the one who told us to rescue you.”For the life of her, Katerina couldn't envision anybody taking out their time to come rescue her… which meant one of two things, either this guy had no good intention to come get her or it was someone close to her.Katerina hesitated, thinking of the only person who would be that crazy and daring to do that.Mark.That asshole kidnapped her and kept her held in a dungeon for a while simply because he couldn't stand the th

    Katerina blinked once, twice, and then for the third time not sure what her eyes were seeing.Was that?“Holy shit, Katerina! It is you!” Tyler screamed, racing through the open field to carry her into his arms.When she felt his arms wrap around her, that really cemented the doubts that she felt. Shock waves ran through her body but she made sure not to dwell on it, hugging him tightly.So tight, that she feared broke a few bones in the process. Overwhelmed with joy, she nearly bowled over moving back to catch a glimpse of him. “Tyler!”Her hands moved all over his face and to her shock, a tear dropped out of her eyes rolling down her cheek. “Hey, hey, hey. Don't cry, it's okay, I'm here now.” He soothed her, hugging her once again.Even though she was tired and hungry and probably smelling like blood and stale sweat, she held on to him as tight as possible, afraid that if she let go, it'd turn out to be a dream.As they broke off the hug for the second time, each person's eyes eati

    EPILOGUE Katerina's plan worked perfectly.Bianca fell into the trap and spun for her by pulling out the gun.Luckily for Katerina, her SOS signal went out in time and the cops showed up in time. Katerina was able to wrestle the gun away from Bianca, throwing in a punch.The police raided the house and as expected, they found some of the things they planted. Of course, Bianca firmly refused to accept that they were there, stating that Katerina planted it.Of course, the idea was disputed since the cameras had her stationed with Bianca the entire time.Mark took the fall as unsurprisingly his parents threw him under the bus to save their skin.Thanks to Katerina, Tyler's family massacre case was reopened and they were able to place the crimes on Mark and his family. Mark served time for abduction, kidnapping, and intent to murder, along with his fraudulent crimes.Giorgio got to bow out from the whole crime rivalry gang since the crimes committed by Mark and his family were now out in

    “So I'm going to go inside and distract them, making sure their fingerprints touch some of the gadgets stuff while you guys go around and plant these things in their houses, okay?” Katerina went over the plan one more time to be sure that everyone understood.She picked Heinze and another guy called Jake to spearhead the mission, making sure plants were in places that the cops could easily access but weren't too obvious either.Once they all understood their parts of the plan she grabbed a gun, tucking it at the back of her Jean, firmly clipping it on the waistband of her pants.There's no way she's heading in there without protecting herself. “Once I give the signal, I want you to call the cops, okay?” She instructed one of the men that were staying behind, about to walk away.“Katerina, can I talk to you?” Giorgio called out just as she was about to leave. She paused. “We don't have enough time for that.”“Just a minute.” He insists and she walks over to him. “I'm really proud of

    Mason and Katerina sat down in the doctor's office, anxiously waiting for a news report on Tyler.Mason himself was a nervous wreck, his left foot tapping incessantly against the floor. He kept glancing at the door waiting for the doctor to show up.The surgery they performed on him took over 10 hours, so much so that Mason had to give up on waiting around and head home.A day later, they were back here awaiting reports from the doctor. Katerina couldn't help for but feel anxious but it wasn't only because of Tyler's issue. After Giorgio agreed to her insane plan, they started working towards it. Since they only had a small window before Mark's case was taken to court, they had to work twice as hard as they needed to.Now that she was in on the plan, Giorgio revealed how he systematically arranged for Tyler's parents to get killed and anytime she thought about it, it made her want to puke.This small reveal only showed her how sick and demented she would get to lead a crime mob lik

    Giorgio's eyes widened the moment those words escaped her lips. “Wait, what?”“Let me do it. The other time in the restaurant, you asked me to take over from you….” She squared her shoulders. “So I'll do it. If taking over from you is the only way to stop this nightmare from reoccurring, fine, I'm in.”“Katerina, no I can't ask you to do that.” He sighed.“I don't understand what's changed, less than 2 weeks ago clamping from me to take over from you.”“Well, I was too desperate to find someone to fill in my shoes so I could take a break but now I'm realizing that you may not be the best person to be to do that. You're not equipped enough.” He explained.“Okay then, why don't you teach me?” She wasn't willing to take no for an answer.“You're still not getting it!” Giorgio grunted. “This isn't something that can be taught, you have to spend years on the job before taking over. You have to be cold and calculated to do what is wrong without flinching and you're not there yet, Katerina.”

    Katerina barged into the mansion that Giorgio and his men were hiding in, pulling the bulk of his men's attention towards her.Alarmed by the sight of a stranger, they raised their weapons aiming it at her.However, Katerina was too pissed off to let it go. “Get me your boss, he and I have some business to talk about.” She ordered, daring to speak despite over a dozen guns being focused on her chest. “Well?” She arched a brow after a couple of minutes passed and nobody moved.Fearless, she took a step further. “If you guys want to bury a bullet in me, then I suggest you start or else…I'll need you to bring me to Giorgio.”She was about to do something crazy to get their attention when the person to whom she spoke stepped out. “Katerina…” he rumbled.For some reason, he wasn't so surprised to see her here. Her face was set in a grim stance. “Can we talk?”With one look in their direction, Giorgio casually ordered them to pull down their rifle and then he tilted his head to the side, i

    “Holy shit, what happened!” Katarina exclaimed, scrambling up to her feet.Esther was crouched over Dylan whose eyes were closed as if he was asleep, a large bullet wound on his chest.She gasped, standing frozen in the middle of the yard.Which reminded her…Katerina spun around in a slow circle, taking in the destruction that those guys had caused.All around them was chaos. The moving truck which contained her clothes and some furniture had toppled over to the side and the back door was riddled with bullet holes.Some of the movers were hit during the shootout and their colleagues were trying to help them stem the flow of blood pouring out from the affected areas.“Katerina, I need your help!” Mom yelled, trying but failing to make a pitiful attempt at CPR.Her mind snapped back to reality reminding her that she needed to help Dad.“Come on, we need to get him inside?” She urged.Mom's head rose up, her gaze slightly disoriented. “What do you mean?”“In case those guys come back, w

    “I think you need to move it in this direction. No, stop! That cannot go in there…what are you doing?”The cacophony of voices bounced around in Katerina's head pulling her out of her slumber.With a groan, she placed the back of her palms against her forehead, trying to shut out the noise but apparently, her window had been left open.Slightly grumpy for being abruptly woken up, Katerina flung back the covers, angrily marching towards the window to shut it when a movement from the corner of her eyes caught her attention.It seemed like there was a loading truck pushing in items and… Was that her luggage?She squinted to make out the design of the bag and to her shock, it was the bag she'd gotten on vacation with Tyler last year.How did…A thought flashed into her mind and she quickly scrambled towards her walk-in closet.Her room back at the house was like a mini-mansion. Two huge rooms split into her bedroom and her walk-in closet connected by an adjoining door which made it easy

    “First of all no one is shipping me anywhere and what the hell are you guys even talking about?” Katerina walked into the room, watching their faces light up like they knew they'd done some wrong. “Is anyone going to answer me?”Dylan stepped forward, his hands stretched in front of him in an effort to placate her. “Honey, listen I don't want you to take this in some way but your mother and I have been talking-”“You mean to say ‘discussing’ we haven't finalized on it yet.” Esther interrupted, sliding a side eye to Dylan.“Whatever.” He waved it off. “what I meant to say is that we've been thinking about you and your general well-being and uh… some things that have given us concerns.”“Concerns like what?” Katerina asked, folding her hands over her chest.Esther and Dylan exchanged a glance, something meaningful passing through them. Dylan spoke up first. “I think with everything that is going on… you've been going through a lot of things for the past couple of months and for everyone

    In a coma…Those words kept ringing in Katerina's ears as she stared up at the ceiling, mentally counting the tiles on each row.After that, she'd move to the next row and repeat the process all over again until she was tired.Anything to keep my head off suicidal thoughts or worse…. reliving both of Tyler's traumatic accidents.Mason had yet to discover fully from the shock, having staggered out of the room. When Katerina stopped him to ask, he simply mumbled that he was heading out in search of fresh air but she knew it was a lie.Just like her, he couldn't spend another moment stuck in a never-ending nightmare.Unable to stop torturing herself, Katerina replayed the doctor's words again in her head, picturing the exact moment when it sank in.“I'm sorry, we tried our possible best but sadly, it wasn't enough. He went into cardiac arrest and then anaphylactic shock, leaving us with only one option… we had to induce him into a coma.” The doctor's voice was devoid of emotion but I gu
