Angelo Vander
As soon as I got out from the LAX airport, I was greeted by a ton of FBI. People might think I'm some kind of criminal, they dragged me into a private plane that will go back to Italy.
This is how powerful Dean is.
I don't know how important that woman is but sure is suspicious. I really will be the one who crack the code one day about Danielle Leone.
Why is Dean Alessandro want to keep here there and preventing everyone to approach her? He really called FBI to get me back before I can step out from the airport.
"You know you can let me go right?" I hissed at the guards who kept holding my arms. They let me go and I glared at them one by one.
"Mr. De Luca, we got a notification from Europol that you're not allowed to enter the US until the end of the year." What? He really took it this far?
As soon as I arrived in Italy, they really treated me like I'm a criminal. The FBI handed me to the Europol when clearly Europol know who I am. The FBI left and suddenly Dean showed up.
"I'm really disappointed at you, Vander." He said as he gestured the Europol to leave me alone.
"Why? Because I'm looking for her."
"If you really want to leave, just leave.. why bother trying to do something like this before leaving?" He looked hurt in a lot of ways. It made me feel guilty because it looked like he's trying his best to bury every information about that woman.
"Just for your information, Vander. Bringing her here equals suicide." My eyes widen when he said that.
"Sometimes I don't understand you, Adrian and Phoenix, all I do was protecting you all but this is your way to pay me back? Is that it?" He was really hurt by it and I never thought he would feel like this.
"Starting from today, we kicked you out from ILLICIT. You're no longer a part of us, Vander. None of you will able to know about us anymore." Dean took a few steps back and he gestured his guards to bring me away.
I didn't have more words. I was speechless.
It happened really fast that I didn't get to say anything. It's not me quiting but I got kicked out from ILLICIT. Great.. just great.

"Nielsen, we have to get him out from Italy."
"Already sent a plane there." He answered and I sighed.
"What is happening?" I sat down completely frustrated.
"I never knew it would be this serious." Adrian said and I couldn't help but agree. Now, I bet none of us can reach that woman. I'm so curious why is Dean acting like this?
"How can we.. go find her?" Adrian asked. "I really don't want to see Leah there, I don't trust that woman at all."
"I guess, we just have to wait the day she comes back to Italy. That way, we can figure things out."
Dakota Delaune
It's been 2 weeks. I know it's only been two weeks but somehow I felt anxious. I was worried. I kept looking at the sea praying that everything will be okay.
I asked Lana and Leah about it but it seemed they don't have an answer to that.
I'm currently sitting at the beach looking at the sunset. It's beautiful and I just.. love watching the sun slowly going down.
"Aren't you cold?" My eyes widen. I got up and turned my body in a speed of light. Angelo was standing there with his arms wide open. I ran to his arms and he hugged me tightly.
"I miss you.. I miss you so so much!" I cried in his arms and he hugged me tighter.
"Me too. I miss you too.."
"I was worried."
"From now on, you don't need to worry.. I'll be by your side." He said and I pulled back. He smiled and wiped my tears.
"Let's start a new page, you and I.. together." He said and I nodded. He leaned closer to me and kissed my lips slowly. I felt relieve, happy and just.. over the moon.
I love this man so much that I can't even control it anymore.
"At last.." He whispered to my ears. I hugged him so tight hoping that this is not a dream. I cried in his arms because I've been longing for this for over a decade and it was worth it.
I sneezed all of the sudden and Angelo pulled away.
"Come on, let's go or you'll get sick." He said as he held my hand. I nodded and we walked back to my apartment.
"It's cozy.." He said as he looked around. I sneezed again.
"Where's the bathroom?" He asked and I pointed at the door right behind him. He opened it and immediately walked in.
"What are you doing?"
"Preparing you a warm bath." He said as I sat on the edge of the bed.
"You're not going anywhere right?" I asked as he got out from the bathroom.
"No, I'm not going anywhere."
"So.. you left ILLICIT for good?" I asked and he nodded.
"I thought.."
"You thought what? You thought that I never come back?" He asked and I nodded. He walked over to me and towering me. He cupped my face and kissed my forehead.
"I need to take care of something but.. I failed."
"What was it?" I asked curiously.
"Finding someone but.. I failed and ended up not being able to enter America until the end of the year." I looked at him confused.
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, I was just.. looking for someone." He said and I pouted.
"Come on, let's take a warm bath together and get some sleep. We both look like we need one." He said as he put his hand in front of me.
"Okay."
