"Ti amo." his voice was barey above a whisper as placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
Dante held me in his arms, his fingers brushing through my hair.
My heart fluttered. "I love you m...

"You have a father. And four brothers"
The words ringed in my head over and over again. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact the my father and brothers had been looking for me.
Detective Ryder told me that I could go back to my house since it would take my father a few hours to get here.
I stared blankly at my phone screen, as my shoes padded softly on the concrete.
I swallowed hard.
Axel was still out there. No one knew where he was. Probably because he had connections with the underground.
I walked on the familiar sidewalk, there were no cars passing by. It was quiet— peaceful, a stark contrast to the inferno that was burning in my head.
A few minutes later, I see the familiar house at the distant, the one I left and thought I'd never come back but I guess the universe had other plans.

The moment I stepped into the house, I scanned my surroundings. Everything was the same as when I had left except for the shattered glass on the floor.
My stomach twisted with queasiness.
This place was the place I dreaded to be but now the monsters that were my uncle and Aunt in disguise were gone. One dead. The other missing.
I felt relived and afraid at the same time, the fact that they couldn't get to me anymore was the most relived I've ever felt but there was a possibility that Axel won't let me go so easily.
I set my bag down on the kitchen counter and took a deep breath. I took a broom and cleared the shards of glass and threw them away. I don't know why I did it, maybe it was out of a habit. But it distracted me from the overwhelming feeling in my head.
After cleaning up, I plopped onto the couch and switched on my phone.

I felt my heart stutter when I saw Dante's name.
I tapped on his name, in an instant the screen was filled with his concerned messages. Guilt surged through me.
