Hunters POV:

I place my hand on Lillys back as we walk upstairs to the place she calls her 'house'.

After I leave her apartment the first thing I'm gonna do is invest in the bakery she works in.

Her "apartment" looks like it may break down any time. The stairs look so fucking weird. The paint is chipping and let's not even talk about the walls. It looks as if just a breeze might blow those walls away.

Cracks, chipping paint and a completely dangerous area.

Perhaps if we make more people go there then she'll get paid more and she'll be able to get a better place to stay in a more safe area other than this dump-like area that she is currently staying in.

Walking up the stairs we stop at a door. The lock on the door seems broken so I stop her from opening it.

"Wait. Did you leave the door like this?" I whisper and ask while placing my finger on my lips. She shakes in a no movement.

"Fuck"

"What if one of my rival gangs have broken into her house?"

"Have they seen me with her?"

"Did I put her in danger!"

"What if they target her?"

I think to myself.

All different thoughts run through my head. I clench my jaw thinking about the danger I have unknowingly put her in.

Instantly my protective instincts are heightened as I push her behind me whilst quickly taking my gun out, I open the door slightly to peek into her house. I hear Lilly audibly gasp as she watches me take my gun out.

Pushing the door a little more I stop to hear for any footsteps in case the intruder is still in the house. Hearing absolute silence I continue to push open her front door, walking inside everything in her tiny apartment is ransacked, even though there was barely anything in that tiny apartment of hers.

Her ottoman is torn, all her kitchen appliances like her kettle and cutlery is shattered on the floor. She gasps in shock as she looks at everything.

I go to check in her bedroom which consists of a thin ass mattress. I clench my fists as I imagine how she sleeps on that every night, especially during the cold, not to mention the floor being hard as fuck. [that's what she said ]

The mattress is shredded to pieces and her clothing which was kept in a small wooden cupboard is laying scattered on the floor.

"Oh god! All my-my things!" She gasps as tears fill up in her eyes. "W-Why would anyone do this?" She asks, biting her bottom lip trying to avoid her tears from escaping her eyes.

"I don't know baby girl. I'll tell the boys to check it out. Just pack a few clothes- or never mind just come with me" I say taking her hand in mine and walking out.

I see tears roll down her face as her bottom lip trembles. I pull her into a hug and lift her up. I place her legs around my torso as my hands rest on her lower back. I feel the warmth of her back on the palm of my hands.

I rub her back in a soothing motion. I carry her out the apartment, to the car. I place her in the passenger seat of the car and buckle her in.

Her eyes slowly closing as we drive. When we reach my penthouse suite she is asleep. I carry her out the car, into my penthouse. I take her to my bedroom instead of the guestroom.

I place her on the bed and take of her shoes. I place my comforter on her. Walking out if my bedroom I call my right hand man Alesso.

"Go to Lilly Hutts apartment and find out who ransacked her house." I say to him. Anger evident in my tone.

" capo" He says respectfully. Smart enough not to question me as my temper rises every passing moment.

"Message me when you find out. Also send more men to reset her house back to how it was." I say then cut the call.
