An intoxicating smell travels through my nostrils almost too overbearing for me to take. I begin to toss my head right and left trying to get away from this strong odor that I can't seem to get away from. Fluttering my eyelids open, I immediately squint my eyes from the sudden brightness of the place. Swinging my arm over my eyes to use it as some sort of shield to provide some kind of shade from the brightness. I begin to cough feeling my throat extremely dry.

"Water," I hoarse.

"Go get water."

"Madison?"

My blurry vision finally comes into focus as the blurry figure from a few seconds ago becomes clear revealing Luna. She looks down at me with concern in her dark brown eyes.

"Luna, is that really you?," I mumble. Hoping this isn't a dream. Suddenly, like a lightning striking a tree it all comes back to me. Santana, dead bodies, the two men looking for me and me blacking out seeing headlights approaching. I sit up immediately screaming for help.

"Please Santana let me go," I shout tears starting to form within my eyeballs.

"It isn't Santana. It's me Maddie, Luna. You're safe," Luna reassures grabbing my shoulders firmly with her hands, but lightly jolting me. As she does this, I open my eyes once again seeing her in front of me scanning the strange room I've never seen before.

"Luna? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating or something?," I sniffle.

"It's really me. We found you unconscious. You're safe now. I promise you," Luna utters. I take a moment to observe her and there it is the wound that Santana caused on her. A huge bandaid is on her forehead dry blood staining it.

"Oh my god it really is you. Are you okay? I'm so sorry for what happened," I tug her in hugging her tightly feeling some sense of home.

"I'm okay. You know it takes way more than a hit to take me down," Luna says in a feisty tone. A huge smirk plastered on her face as she pulls away from me.

"Did that motherfucker hurt you? If he did you better tell me right now," Luna's smirk falters as she asks this about Santana. I now understand the bad blood between Santana and the red eagles.

"No, I was locked in a room at some house in a forest. I escaped through a window in a room," I explain. The door opens, as Diaz steps inside with a glass of water walking towards me. Luna grabs the glass of water from Diaz handing it over to me for me to drink, which I gladly do without hesitation. I feel the satisfying fresh liquid run down my throat and into my stomach. It feels as if I've been dying from thirst for days. When it's only been probably an entire day or two if anything.

"My baby?," I gasp, feeling sudden panic about my son's health. So much has happened and it's been a while since I've properly eaten and rested. For sure none of what I've gone through is good for the baby. To be honest, I'm surprised that I haven't gone into labor from all of this craziness that has occurred.

"He's fine. One of Leo's doctors came earlier to check up on you guys. The baby is in good condition. You just were dehydrated that's all and under a lot of stress of course. You need to take it easy from now on," Luna says.

"Leo?," the memory of him suddenly presents itself into my mind.

"Leo is dead Luna," I panicky screech tears sliding down my cheeks as the memory of Santana telling me he killed my husband.

"No he isn't," she says.

"He is. Santana told me and I saw so much dead bodies at the mansion," I sob.

"No, listen to me Madison. Leo is alive. He's in the other room as we speak," she sternly says looking at me straight in the eyes.

"What? Leo is alive?"

"Yes."

"Take me to him. I need to see him with my own eyes."

I follow behind Luna down the hallway as Diaz helps me walk due to feeling a bit weak. Luna insisted for me to eat first, but I refused to wanting to see Leo first. I need to know what Luna is telling me is in fact real. I need to see him. My life depends on it. We come to a halt in front of the door in the end of the hallway. She knocks waiting for a response, which never came. Diaz knocks this time much louder than Luna.

"I'm in the restroom," Leo's deep voice shouts. My heart instantly begins to do somersaults from eagerness, excitement, and overall happiness with ease all at the same time as I know that that voice belongs to the man I love with all of my heart.

Luna and Diaz step away letting me walk towards the door which I do. The both of them walking away leaving me alone to do what I came here to do. The door is unlocked, which I'm grateful for. Opening the door, I step inside shutting the door close behind me. The room is empty as I hear the shower turning on only meaning Leo is in fact in the restroom getting ready to shower. I make my way towards the restroom. My heart pounding out of my chest with every step. I legit feel like a high school girl around her crush right now. I turn the doorknob opening the door silently.

"I'm about to shower Rios god da-," Leo mutters cutting himself off as he turns my direction his jaw dropping by my presence. Many emotions run within his chocolate brown eyes that I missed so much as he glances down at my super pregnant stomach and at me.

"Leo," I breathe.

"Baby," he breathes lurching towards me embracing me within his muscular warm arms I missed so much. I missed him in general. I hug him back as well holding him tightly like my life depended on it. I feel if I let him go. I'll lose him again. I went to hell and back to reach him and here I am finally in his presence embracing him in my arms.

"I-I thought you were dead. Santana told me you were dead," I start to cry not being able to hold back my tears from him.

"He thought, but I'm not. No one can get rid of me that easily especially when I'm madly in love with a woman named Madison Castillo," he murmurs near my ear rubbing my back in a comforting way he only knows how.

I pull away locking eyes with him, "Madly in love?"

"Yes-"

"I'm so sorry Leo for everything I've done to you. I should of never left. I regret it so much. After Santana told me about you no longer being in this world. I felt numbness and emptiness in my heart. The regret and guilt I felt was so unreal-"

"Madison it's fine-," Leo cuts me off cupping my cheek with his hand.

"No, I have to get this off my chest," I protest knowing this is what I must do what I should of done a long time ago. I will no longer live my life holding back my real feelings.

"I regret not telling you my real feelings for you. I love you Leo Castillo in matter of fact I'm so in love with you that I can't function without you. You're my world, my heart, and my everything. The entire time, I believed you were gone all I wanted was to go back in time and tell you exactly this. I freaking love you."

With that said, Leo smirks placing his lips on mine which I eagerly receive. The both of us having a full blown make out session that I can tell by the desperation behind our kiss it's been awhile in the making.

"I'm sorry for all of the bullshit I've done to you. If I could go back in time to the first day I met you, I would do things correctly with you like a normal man would," Leo says pulling away from my lips taking the opportunity to regain his breathe from our intense kiss.

"None of that matters now Leo. All I want is for us to start new with each other. I want to start living the life we both deserve with our soon to be born son," I truthfully say wanting nothing more than to love this man for the rest of my life. So much has happened to us both and we've both have done horrible hurtful things to one another that starting new is all I want especially for my son who's going to be born any day now.

"That night you first told me you loved me. I should of said it back. Truth is I loved you before that. I think I even loved you from the very first time I laid eyes on you at the bar Madison. As much as it destroyed me that you left. I want to thank you for doing so because it showed me what I lost for having my priorities fucked up. I did know why you left, but I was too stubborn to accept it. I'm sorry for going back to my old ways instead of facing it like a true man. Sorry about the shit I said to you, I was just angry for fucking up the only thing that has ever meant the world to me. I have always loved you, always have, and I'll always will until my last breathe in this earth. Babe, I'm willing to drop everything including the red eagles just for you and our son just give me the word and I'll do it. All I give a fuck about is having you in my life forever."

Never did I think I would ever hear such genuine words coming from Leo Castillo. If only we both would of said our true feelings before, so much would of been prevented. However, that's all in the past now. Maybe this is what was meant to happen for the both us to be where we are right now. Whatever it may be, right now feels so right and I'm happy having the man I love by my side. The way it should be.

"You would leave behind the red eagles just for me?," I mumble stunned by hearing him actually say such a thing he's so passionate about. I almost feel guilty for making him choose between I and his mafia that's practically his family way before I ever came along into his life.

"Yeah I would. I love you with my entire heart. You're my heart baby," Leo lovely responds smashing his lips once again against mine. Our lips now in sync with one another. As always, I get lost in his kisses and touches. My body, soul, and heart belong to this man, I adore so much. Within seconds, Leo strips me out of my clothes. The eagerness and horniness that's taking over my body is unreal right now. My body yearns for him.

I help Leo unbuckle his pants throwing them down to the ground. Soon I help him lift his shirt which he instantly winces to. I pull away from the kiss, concerned for him. His shirt being off of him, I'm able to see what is causing him pain. My eyes widen from the shock feeling extreme sadness at the same time. Two bullet wounds are visible with thick bandaids on them. I can tell he's stitched up from the thickness of the thread behind the bandaid. I lightly and carefully place my fingers on the wound on the side of his abdomen shutting my eyes hating the fact of how close I was to losing my heart.

"I'm fine babe. Don't beat yourself over it," Leo murmurs cupping my chin, so I can look exactly at him. Opening my eyes, I see devotion, adoration, commitment, and lust swirling in his irises as he looks down at me. His gaze is enough to sweep me away from reality.

"Please never leave me ever."

"I won't, I promise."

Leo and I step inside the shower locking lips once again. I can kiss him all day every single day for the rest of my life. His taste is so addicting, no matter how much I kiss him. I just want more of him. These three and a half months that passed by without him sucked. There was never a day, I didn't think of him. I missed everything about him. Crazy, how I was once used to being alone in the world to becoming attached to someone that when far away from that person you aren't the same. You feel as if you're far away from home.

I'm glad Leo never gave up on me.

"Thank you for finding me and bringing me back home with you," I murmur between our kisses. Leo chuckles, "Like I said before baby, you'll never escape from me."

Two broken individuals crossing paths and falling in love no matter our flaws whilst at the same time healing one another. Two different backgrounds coming together learning how to love, yet love ourselves at the same time. Since meeting Leo Castillo, my life has been a rollercoaster. Ups and downs, witnessing things I would never wish on anyone, going through some of the most roughest times of my life, and just overall being shown a whole new world of the mafia I never knew existed. Something that only those who have lived it can truly understand. A troubled broken man, I once called a monster and was so convinced at one point that he could never love someone is now a healed loving hero. My hero that is madly in love with me just like I'm madly and unconditionally in love with him.

This is a rollercoaster I never want to get off from. From now on I devote my life to Leo Castillo.

The man that gave me a home.
