Ever since the phone call with Leo and Cordova happened. East has been assigned full time to follow me around everywhere I go. He even has to go with me to the warehouse and stand there waiting for me to be done with work and training. Luna and I are still not seeing eye to eye since our argument. Our training sessions have been intense as well. Since Luna is giving me the silent treatment. I'm really starting to feel lonely once again. My training is now over and I start walking towards East ready to go back into prison.

"Madison," Luna utters out of the blue. I turn around looking at her dark brown eyes waiting to see what she wants.

"This whole fight is stupid," Luna huffs letting a breathe out.

"I know, I'm so sorry," I sigh hugging her really missing her company. It's crazy how close I became with her in such a quick time.

"I felt guilty Luna and it was easy to just point the finger towards you," I sigh.

"I understand, you aren't like any of us, so this type of stuff hits hard," Luna looks at me understandably.

"Shit just keeps getting worse for me I swear," I shake my head frustratedly pulling away from the hug.

"Cordova has been searching for you," Luna steers the subject.

"Oh my god," my eyes widen fear setting in.

"Don't worry Leo has been tracking him," she reassures.

"I'm surprised Leo didn't want to sell me to be honest with you."

"I'm pretty stunned as well," Luna half smiles.

"What? He's sold others before?," I gasp.

"Yes," Luna scratches her head faking a chuckle.

"What a monster. So he's kidnapped other women too?," I ask finding this new information frightening. This nightmare really gets worse and worse.

"No nothing like that. The rest were just pussycats and if one of Leo's associates asked for a specific one in return for money. Leo always took the money within less than a second," she explains.

"Wow, he must just want me around to torture me the way he does then," I roll my eyes. Before Luna could respond, East utters, "Let's go boss is waiting."

"Gotta go, god forbid Leo waits another minute," I huff annoyedly making my way towards East.

"See you tomorrow," Luna chuckles turning her heel walking the opposite way.

I walk inside the kitchen with East seeing Leo sitting on the dining table on his phone. I scan the room seeing all kinds of food in different pans sitting on the table.

"What's the occasion?," I raise a brow catching Leo's attention.

"Dinner for two," Leo responds eyeing the chair next to him for me to sit on. I take a seat next to him looking at him, "So what's up with Cordova?"

"Don't worry about him," Leo blankly responds.

"I guess," I grumble serving myself some enchiladas.

"Eat well you're coming with me to a business meeting tonight," Leo says serving himself some enchiladas with Spanish rice. I almost choke on the piece of enchilada that was currently passing through my throat. I cough swallowing the piece down with saliva furrowing my brows at Leo.

"Again? No way," I protest.

"Funny how you act like you have a say," Leo chuckles.

"I've been obeying your rules lately and even work with Luna. I should have a say if I want to go or not. Take one of your girlfriends," I grumble.

"You know what I think Madison. I think you need a slap to remind you who's boss," Leo clenches his jaw. My eyes widen not wanting that at all. It's been a good while since the last time he last put hands on me definitely don't want those days coming back.

"Sorry," I quickly apologize.

"Sorry what?," Leo raises a brow.

"Sorry boss," I cough mentally rolling my eyes.

"Finish up then get ready. You're outfit is already waiting for you upstairs," Leo instructs taking a bite of his enchiladas.

"You look beautiful," Leo compliments me as we make our way to the nightclub where this supposedly business meeting suppose to take place.

"Thanks, I guess you have nice taste," my cheeks redden averting my eyes away from Leo who's examining every inch of my body as we speak. Leo has such great taste in woman clothes. He definitely knows how to dress me better than I do myself.

"Leo," I mumble.

"What?"

"Why do you disappear on me every time... you know ? we sleep together," I nervously say squirming into my seat by his gaze that can make any female fall to her knees. Leo looks taken back by my question not expecting me to ask this right now.

"I am a busy man," he blankly responds pouring himself some champagne. I mentally roll my eyes to the back of my head. A frown appearing on my face, for some unknown reason I expected Leo to respond with a sincere answer. But who am I kidding? He is Leo Castillo who's a murderer, arms dealer, a drug dealer, and leader of his mafia, the red eagles. The chauffeur opens the door and I quickly get out of the limo wanting nothing more than this meeting to be over.

As we walk inside the nightclub. I look around the beautiful place loving the luxury feel to it. There's a huge crowd of people dancing and singing along to the music. I frown seeing every single person happy living their lives with freedom compared to me trapped away by Leo. As Leo and I walk into the back. I see an old bald brown eyed man sitting in the booth with two females twice as young his age by his side. I also notice Rossi in the crowd pretending she didn't know us, but every chance she got. She didn't hesitate to throw me one of her famous death glares I'm getting used to pretty quickly by now.

However, I'm confused on why she's acting like a complete stranger. It's been thirty minutes of these two talking about guns and expanding their business to who knows where. The entire time, I've been watching this couple dance on each other probably still in high school using fake id's like Damien and I used to do back then.

"Time to go," Leo interrupts getting up from the booth. The both of us turn around walking back towards the exit sign as the club becomes fuller with intoxicated guests. Suddenly, my eyes lock with those familiar brown eyes I never thought I'd see ever again.

Nina.

"Madison!," Nina shouts through the crowd sprinting towards me. My eyes widen, my heart thumping out of my chest not knowing whether to run to her or stay put. However, my adrenaline starts to kick in and desperation steps onto the plate as well as making me not think twice about my next action. I bolt towards Nina leaving a yelling Leo behind me. All of the loud music, chattering of the people, and lights flickering on and off mute all at once only focusing on Nina.

Nina and I finally embrace each other into a hug and I immediately pull away grabbing her hand pulling her to follow me pushing my way through crowd not wanting Leo or any of his men to catch up to us. We finally reach the woman's restroom and I push Nina in turning back to see if I was successful in losing Leo, which I miraculously did. He was nowhere insight, so I barge inside the restroom.

"Where have you been Maddie? You've been missing for an entire month," Nina huffs trying to control her emotions.

"I was kidnapped Nina. He's been holding me captive," I screech.

"Who?," Nina places her hands on both of my shoulders trying to control me from quivering from pure fear.

"Leo Castillo... the billionaire who rented out Agenda remember?"

"Oh my g-"

Suddenly, gun shots are heard from outside the restroom and I scream knowing it's Leo and his men looking for me.

"It's him Nina. Please help me!," I screech trembling.

"I won't let him take you," Nina firmly says as she glances around the restroom looking for a window. To our luck their is a window and Nina immediately runs towards it grabbing the trash can flipping it over causing all of the trash to fall over onto the tile floor. On the other hand, I look over the entire restroom in search for something to lock the door with. Near one of the bathroom stalls, I notice a baton laying on the floor. I quickly grab it and run towards the doors putting it inside the handles to prevent anyone from opening the doors from outside.

"Fuck," I hear Nina struggling trying to slide the window to the side to open it. I sprint towards her getting on the trash can, so I can help her open the old rusty window. My worst fear comes true as I hear someone from outside trying to kick the door open causing the baton to start shaking. Nina and I pull the damn window to the side with all of our strength combined causing the window to slide open. Without wasting a another minute. Nina helped me get out first waggling myself through the window as she pushes me out.

Finally out, I turn around crouching down extending my hands to Nina to take, which she does as I pull her out of the window. As soon as Nina was fully out, the door bursts open causing the baton to break in half. My eyes lock with Leo's dark brown eyes that are about four shades darker then usual. Every little hair on my body stands up fear setting in my stomach feeling chills go up and down my spine.

"Come on," Nina shouts pulling my arm as the both of us start running far away as we can from the night club. As I run all I could think about is all the times Leo slapped and punished me by locking me inside that room upstairs of his mansion every time I tried to escape or disobeyed him. Now I definitely passed the line from all of the other times. There's no way I can let him or his men catch me. I'm sure Leo won't hesitate to kill me. If I'm captured, god knows whats in store for me. After a while of running, Nina and I hit a dark alley seeing a seven eleven store at the end of the alley.

"Come on we must get into that store to use their phone to call the police," Nina hastily says out of breathe from the run. I nod not being able to speak. You would think after training for an entire month with Luna. I'd be in better shape, but I guess a month of exercise won't cut it for years of being a lazy fatty. As soon as we hit towards the end of the alley two cars block the exit of the alley.

"Oh no," I breathe.

Nina and I quickly turn our heels running the other way towards the end of the alley where we originally came from but there stood an angry Leo glaring at the both of us. We come to a halt letting out a scream from fear on what's about to happen next. My eyes scan down to Leo's right hand, which he's holding a gun. I start to tremble uncomfortably knowing Nina and I are dead. There's no way of us getting out alive. We're trapped inside this dark alley. Nina and I hug onto each other the both of us shaking from extreme fear warily watching Leo and Montoya walk towards us.

"How dare you fucking try to escape from me?," Leo grits his teeth.

"Let us go," Nina hisses.

"Shut up," he retorts grabbing me by the arm pulling me away from her.

"No," I screech trying my hardest to free myself from Leo's grip, but it was useless. Nina tried to hold onto me, but Montoya pulled out his gun aiming it at her causing her to let go of me instantly.

"Please don't," I sniffle.

"How stupid are you? Didn't you learn how to think before you act? Every action you do against me will have its consequences," Leo scolds slamming me against the wall. All I can do is cry tears sliding down my cheeks.

"Fucking kill me already!," I shout. Suddenly, a door slams shut followed by taps of heels hitting the concrete heading towards us. We all turn our heads seeing none other than Rossi.

"She's nothing but trouble," she scoffs glaring at me with hatred.

"Get back in the car!," Leo sternly shouts.

"Do I blow her head off boss?," Montoya utters still aiming his gun towards Nina.

"No please, it isn't her fault it's mine. Just shoot me," I hastily utter.

"You heard her. Kill her," Rossi scolds stepping near Leo glancing between the two of us. Leo doesn't say a word instead he raises up his gun aiming it to my head intently glaring at me. My heart is beating out of my chest right now as I feel hot and cold sensations at the same time knowing that the bullet that's going to shoot through that gun is going to end my life forever.

"No Madison," Nina sobs.

"Shut up Nina," I firmly mutter gulping down the lump that's currently stuck in the back of my throat.

"What are you waiting for? Shoot her!", Rossi scolds.

"Do it already. Get it over with," I squeeze my eyes shut shouting no longer being able to take this wait.
