"We were fucking set up." Ale seethed next to me when Angelo's men came out of nowhere.

"Send the signal." I whisper yelled to him.

I cursed internally when they grabbed his hands so he couldn't. We're fucked, and we had no clue who ratted us out.

We were thrown into a room and bound to chairs as we waited for Angelo to show up.

"Whoever the bastard is who betrayed us is a fucking dead man." Ale kept cursing next to me.

"Chiudi quella cazzo di bocca e concentrati. Saremo morti se non troveremo un modo per uscire di qui!" (Shut the fuck up and focus. We'll be dead if we don't figure out a way to get out of here!)

"Too late for that." I heard the bastard's voice from the door. "There's no escape for you two." He wore the same wicked grin, as always.

"Angelo, you fucking piece of shit, you're gonna pay for what you did to Allison." Ale yelled at him.

I couldn't find it in me to say anything. I was beyond pissed, all I saw was red.

"So that's what this is about? Allison. I thought we were over this already. I mean, it has been years guys. Come on, let bygones be bygones. Whaddaya say?" He stood there mocking us with his hand held out for a handshake. "No?" He then turned to me. "How about you?"

"Lorenzo you've been real quiet. What? Not happy to see me?" He walked over and stood in front of me. "I know how to make you talk." He smirked. "How's Samai doing? I think I'll give her a visit after I'm done with you two."

"You're a dead man if you go near her." I gritted.

"Ahh, so he speaks. Good to know she's your weak spot. It's a shame she won't get to see you again."

The thought of never seeing Samai again tore me. I told her I would come back to her but if tonight goes left, I'll never see her again. I just pray Dario figures out what's happening and sends a rescue party.

Fuckers tied the rope so tight, I had no way of getting them off.

"It's been a while since we spoke actually, I should give her a call after this." Hearing him say that made me livid. I tugged at the ropes trying to get lose so I could kill the bastard.

"Bastardo, stai lontano da Samai." (Bastard, you stay away from Samai.) Ale speaks from next to me.

"Woah! You two seem very passionate about someone who's been using you. Especially you Lorenzo."

"What the fuck are you talking about."

"Don't listen to him Ren, he's just trying to get in your head."

"Talk." I turned my attention back to Angelo. He sported the same evil grin.

"Don't you find it ironic, you two have the same enemy? I'm surprised you didn't see it. She really cozied up to you when she found out you shared her same interests. Even got a job at your company,"

"You're lying."

"Am I? Or is it just too painful to think about."

"Shut the fuck up!" I seethed with anger.

He had to be wrong. Samai would never do something like that. She didn't know who I was when we met. Or did she? Is that why she was pushing to come on the mission. I knew something about this felt weird but this can't be it right? It had to be a coincidence.

"Paul, pull up the footage." He spoke to the man that was standing at the door.

Paul handed the phone to Angelo. He then turned the screen so I could see the video. On the footage Samai was bound to a chair with Angelo standing in front of her.

"Just shut the fuck up and do it. I have nothing to live for anyway. You and your sick twisted men took away the only people who ever loved me. It's not like I have nothing to live for. So just fucking do it."

"Huh, that's a shame. You actually want to die. That's no fun." Angelo turned to face the cameraman "Paul what's worse than dying?"

"Living a miserable life." The man behind the camera started laughing.

"Ah, that's what I'll do. I'll make you go back to your miserable life where you'll be all alone, with no family and no home, but not without a reminder."

Angelo then walked closer to her and used a knife to cut her leg.

"I promise you, if you don't kill me now, you'll regret it later because I will stop and nothing until you're dead.

He retracted the phone.

"What's that supposed to prove? She already told me this story."

"You heard what she said. She'll stop at nothing until I'm dead. She went to great lengths to find me the first time, and now she's using you to get to me."

"He's just trying to get to you Ren, don't listen to a word he says."

"You know I'm right, I bet everything is now making a lot of sense. Her job, how she got so close to you in a matter of days. She even knew you were gonna take her to Italy, which gives her the chance to get closer to me."

By now my chest was rapidly rising and falling. My body was getting hot and I was even more pissed. Was she that blinded by revenge that she went through such lengths to get it?

"Don't worry I'll put you out of your misery." Angelo pulled out his gun, as he was going to aim it at me a bullet pierced the glass and went to the side of his head. He fell to the ground with a thud.

"What the fuck!" Ale said from next to me.

"SNIPER!" Paul yelled but before he could move, a bullet went through this forehead.

"Shit, hurry and untie these ropes." We shifted around until we were back to back. We untied each other and grabbed our weapons that they took earlier and ran out the room.

The next few minutes were a blur. The entire floor was a bloodbath. At some point Dario and the rest of our men joined us. I was grateful because we were extremely outnumbered.

As we were walking through the hallway I saw Samai, walking with my dead sister.

"Allison," My brothers and I said in unison. I was in total disbelief. She wasn't dead? So who's body was at the warehouse the night Angelo set the fire? I felt myself starting to get lightheaded.

"Watch out!" Samai yelled before she fired at shot at something behind us. A man covered in blood fell to the floor. "Let's go, hurry."

She hurried down the stairs with my sister in tow. My emotions were all over the place. First I find out Samai was using me for revenge and now I'm finding out my sister's alive.

"I'll go with her." Allison announced once were outside. I reluctantly nodded and watched them go around the corner.

"Our sister is fucking alive." Dario, ran his hand through this hair.

"Let's go." I urged them to get in the vehicle.

I don't want us to stay out here any longer and have more of Angelo's men come for us. Questions swarmed my mind about Allison's reappearance. Where the fuck was she all along.

"The fuck's the matter with you?" Dario asked once he was seated in the back of the car.

"Angelo fed him a bunch of crap about Samai using him."

"It was the fucking truth." I gripped the steering wheel tighter, when I remembered the situation with Samai. I felt like an idiot for not seeing it.

"Don't tell me you believed him. He obviously said that shit to get in your head."

"She told me she wouldn't push to come on here tonight, yet she still found her way here."

"You guys just need to talk it out. She's the one who saved our lives, so be fucking thankful."

The drive home had me piecing certain things together. Like how she got the weapons, she had to have watched when I put the code in.

When we made it back to the estate I saw her park the car and exited with Allison, they exchanged a few words, then they hugged. Allison came over to us. We all hugged and asked her questions. I felt extremely terrible knowing my sister was back but all I could think about was Samai.

I watched as she went to the passenger seat of the car. One of Alessandro's men emerged with a pissed expression. He looked in our direction then stormed off leaving an embarrassed Samai behind. She walked inside the house.

"I'm sorry, I need a moment." I said before I walked off to the direction of where Samai went.

When I got in the house, she was talking to my mother.

"There's a surprise waiting for you outsid-" I cut off her conversation with my mom.

"Samai!" She jumped at the loudness of my voice.

My mother stepped outside and shortly after I heard her scream. Which meant she saw Allison.

"Enzo you scared me, I came in here because I thought you guys would've wanted time to catch up."

"So you've been using me this entire time for your revenge against Angelo!?" My approach to her was harsh but I didn't care.

"What? No, where is this coming from."

"So how'd you end up on the mission? How'd you get the weapons? How'd you know where we were?"

"I...Um I-" She stuttered.

"That's why you kept pushing to come with us?

"No I told you why I wanted to come. I didn't use you. I would never betray you like that Enzo, please believe me."

"Bullshit," I spat.

"I know it may seem like I betrayed you but I promise you I didn't. I didn't even know you knew Angelo up until yesterday." She kept lying.

By this time my mother and siblings were in standing by the door.

"I don't believe you."

"Enzo please if we could just sit and talk-"

"So you can lie and manipulate me some more? We're done, I want you out of this house!" I turned to my brothers. "Dario please drive Samai back to the hotel to pack her things, then drive her to the airport. Ale, get the jet ready."

"Enzo please don't do this, I didn't use you. I love you." I could hear the vulnerability in her voice but I didn't care.

"Make sure your desk is cleared and your shit is out of my house when I get back to the states."

Samai stormed passed me and went through the door. I could hear her sniffling as she exited.

She can save those tears for someone else.

I couldn't believe she's been lying to my face and I fell it. I felt like such a fool! I fell hopelessly in love with a fucking lie. I'm beyond livid.

Then again, it was my fault for trusting her.

"Figliolo, ti ho sempre detto di non prendere decisioni quando sei arrabbiato." (Son, I've always told you not to make decisions when you're upset.) She had a disapproving look on her face. "Vieni Allison" (Come Allison) They both walked to the dining room area.

Dario just shook his head and walked outside.

"Ren you're my brother and I love you. I'll always support you in whatever you choose to do but this is one of those things I can't support." Ale patted me on my back before he walked off.

Somehow deep in the back of my mind I felt I was making a mistake but right now, I didn't care.
