ROMAN

I have lost Control.

I don't know where she is. I don't know if he's captured her. I don't know if she's being tortured. I don't know if she's even alive — and that makes me furious.

I'm fucking furious that I can't protect her right now. My bones ache. My muscles burn. I'm down, just when she needs me most.

My baby. My baby-mamma. They need me. I force myself to wake up. I command my body to function again. But it's useless — my limbs feel heavy, my body needs rest with all the sprains and fractures — my body is failing me.

Then I feel a hand around my neck.

The pressure comes immediately, suffocating me, making it almost impossible to breathe. Somehow, the lack of air is enough to force my eyes open.

I think Lucifer has come to drag my soul to Hell, but I'm wrong — it's just Marco, dressed in a doctor's uniform, choking me.

His sudden attack sends adrenaline surging through my body, and my reflexes go into overdrive. My hand grips his.

I gasp for air until my vision blurs. Then I stop struggling in his grasp. When he realizes I'm about to pass out, he lets go.

"You're nothing but a disappointment, Roman. I was only gone for a month, but I had to come back because of your annoying dick that kept going in the wrong places," he says, clicking his tongue.

"Tell me, why shouldn't I strangle you after you ruined my vacation?"

"He's ruined it for everyone! Selfish asshole!" I hear Valerio scoff. "Couldn't you find another woman to stick your dick in besides some crazy plant-loving bitch?"

I look to my right and see him lying on a hospital bed, his arm strapped down, his foot in a cast. He's still talking shit after I broke his leg.

My mistake. I should break his jaw.

"Maybe he misunderstood his mission," Marco says, rubbing his chin as he looks at me. "You were supposed to kill her, not fuck her."

"I don't need your lectures," I hiss at him and try to get up, but realize my wrist is also strapped to the bed.

With an annoyed sigh, I lie back down.

"Obviously you need my lectures if you're stupid enough to fall for such a condescending cunt," he snaps back.

I can see the exasperation in his eyes.

"Not only did he fall for it, he even procreated in there!" Valerio adds.

Marco's anger turns to astonishment before he groans as if I'm the biggest troublemaker in his life.

"I could kill you... How could you be so reckless?" he asks, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Seriously? Wasn't there any other cunt left to fuck?"

"Enough," I hiss at them both in pure defiance. "I wasn't being careless, and I didn't betray Capo. I killed his enemy — I killed Nicolai."

"But she is not his enemy. She doesn't mean any harm to him. She is not like her father. She is innocent — just a victim in this damn game of power!"

"Innocent?!" Marco repeats.

He stares at me as if I've completely lost my mind. I can't help the smile that slowly spreads across my face before I nod, almost smugly.
