Hey. Wassup? Hello. Penitence is awesome bish don't act like you don't know. Jk jk (excuse my language) I'm in a good mood and this is one of my favorite chapters. Sorry for the wait ^_^. This is Anderson' s POV soo enjoyy. I know yall see that new book cover. Comment what ya think!!!

I expected her to stay loyal even when I wasn't. Throughout school we always competed against each other. She did everything with me and I just can't believe that she had sex with another man.

I roll out of bed and head towards the shower feeling disgusted. Although, the circumstances aren't very great, these past few days have been amazing. Nina and I haven't left the bed unless we needed to eat or take a shower.

On top of that, she hasn't mentioned him once. It's almost like she knows how much the situation irks me. She can talk about that with Lizzie.

The thing that I really want to talk about is why Vivian barely comes around anymore. It's like she knows that something is going on and she's distancing herself so that she won't get caught up in it.

"Baby come back to bed." Nina whines.

I smirk and step out of the shower. She can't get enough of me.

"I'm coming baby girl." I yell back.

I can tell that she's pouting which makes me smile. Her soft lips do something to me. Just imagining those lips on someone else makes me want to punch a hole in the wall.

I walk back into the bedroom and head towards the closet.

"Baby what are you doing?" She says innocently.

Don't fall for it Anderson. She's not as innocent as she looks. The curves on her body and her beautiful, long legs can lure men from a mile away and she knows that.

Listening to the voices in my head, I take an outfit out to wear. Her eyes watch me carefully before she chooses to speak again.

"Anderson, I'm sorry about the situation with Trent. Please don't leave me here alone." She pleads.

One side of me says don't reply and the other side says knock her out. I can't control these thoughts, but I know that my life is in the hands of Mr. Costanzo. He told me that if I ever hit his daughter again, he'd kill me.

"Nina. I'm not really in the mood to stay here right now. Make sure that you keep the door locked, a bag packed, and a knife near you. Don't go outside unless someone tries to get inside. If your mom comes, run. If anything happens, take the phone and the directions to a safe house from under the mattress with you." I instrust.

I don't bother to look at her. If she sees my eyes, she will know that I'm about to make a huge mistake. I know that I will regret it, but it's better than staying here and living with the guilt and hurt.

I walk out the front door of the apartment and lock it behind me. There is no point in turning back now.

"Hands up or I'll shoot." I hear someone yell.

"I don't want to fight. I just need to speak with Leonardo." I say holding up my hands.

Surprisingly, only one man steps out from behind the trees. He pushes my hands down and behind my back before binding them together with what feels like a rope.

"If you listen and don't try to fight, I won't have to kill you." He says.

"I'm not going to fight back. I just need to speak to Leonardo." I say for the second time.

The man leads me to a white van parked behind the trees nearby. I turn around and look back at the apartment one more time. I just hope this all works out.

__________________________________________________

The ride is bumpy and silent. I can't see anything because the man blindfolded me. That doesn't really bother me that much. I'm just worried about Nina. I hope that she is able to make it out of there before they catch her.

The truck slows to a stop and the sound of voices can be heard.

"Rule # 1: Do not call him by his first name. Rule # 2: Don't hold back information for the sake of the Costanzo girl. She's going to die eventually. Rule # 3: Don't ask him questions because he's probably not going to answer them." The man says loosening the ropes and taking off the blindfold.

I nod and look at my surroundings. It looks like we're in a garage connected to a mansion. The mansion looks like it is occupied by rich army personnel.

Everywhere I look there is a man or woman staring at me with a gun in their hands. Truthfully, they look like statues. Their facial expressions look so similar.

There are chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and nice furniture in every corner of the house. I'm guessing that this is Leonardo's house. If the man that brought me here was telling the truth, Leonardo won't kill me and there is no way that he would let me see his hideout and walk out alive.

The man leads me up the stairs without even looking to see if I escape. There is no need to because there is no escape. This is all reality and there is no getting out of it.

The man stops in front of a door and knocks.

A deep voice replies, "Come in."

He leads me into a large room with a mohagany desk and many paintings on the wall.

"I thought that I would have to come and get you myself Anderson. " Leonardo states.

I open my mouth to say something, but quickly close it.

"I find it very odd how Nina, you, and I all went to school together and now we're enemies. All because Costanzo decided to kill the two most important men in the Drug Cartel. My brother and my dad did nothing to that man." He says angrily.

"I didn't know that he killed your father too. I don't even know how we all ended up here. Nina didn't choose this lifestyle and neither did I." I reply.

"Who is in the apartment with her?" He asks ignoring my outburst.

"Nobody. " I state.

"Then why did you leave?" He questions.

"I cheated on her with her sister and she cheated on me with Trenton Westbrook. How can I stay there and protect her without feeling guilty. " I whisper.

"You just made my life ten times easier. Prepárense todos. Nos vamos en 3 días." He orders the man that brought me here.

God I hope I made the right decision.


Lord whyyyy Anderson. But I threw some spanish up in there and it meant: Go get everyone ready. We leave in three days. In the multimedia is Leonardo (William Levy)
