"Know thyself, know thy enemy"

Nora

I was back at Orion's. It is now the end of December. New years' around the corner. He and I are having such a great time together. Sleeping together, eating together, watching TV together, messing around. It's been great.

I haven't seen Ace at all. And I'm not complaining. I've been with Orion, Aiden, Jaxon, and Dante. They would come over from time to time. I've gotten closer to them. They're not like every other mafia.

I was just sitting upstairs in Orion's room watching TV. Rewatching Pretty Little Liars because I have to recharge my personality every once in a while. It really gets me going. Oh what I would do to watch it for the first time again. All the twists and turns.

Just as they were arresting the girls in the show I heard a loud noise from downstairs. Who's here? Because Orion isn't. He's out with the boys for the shipments and stuff.

I paused my TV and walked to the door to see if I could hear anything. Someone sounds pissed. But It's not Orion. Ace. He's here. I open the door and walk downstairs. Orions here too.

"Oh would you look at that." Ace said as I stood next to Orion. "The trouble itself."

"The what?" I questioned. "What the hell is your problem now?"

"You wanna tell her? You wanna tell her how we almost fucking died tonight because of her?"

"What is he talking about?" I asked, looking at Orion.

"The people who kidnapped you." Ace yelled.

"Yea what about them?"

"You caught someone's eye at the auction Nora when you were kidnapped." Orion finally spoke. "He was bidding for you but I just bid a little bit higher and..."

"And now I'm here." I looked at Ace. "I don't get it. So that person is coming after you because you have me?"

"It's not who, it's what." Ace said.

"Russian mafia Nora." Orion said. "Our colossal enemies."

"Oh my god." I said in a whispered voice.

"Okay you cannot blame me for this." I looked at Ace. "I didn't ask to get kidnapped. I was out celebrating my birthday with my friends. I didn't invite anyone to kidnap and take me to a sex trafficking ring."

"You're going to the Russian mob."

"What?" Orion and I said together as we looked at Ace.

"I don;t give a shit who you are to anyone. I cannot have my mens blood on my hands because of you."

"Someone was hurt tonight?"

"Aiden was shot." Orion said.

"Oh my god. Is he gonna be okay?"

"Yea for now."

"Orion-"

"Ace." Orion said firmly cutting Ace off. "No way in hell I'm letting Dimitri Ivashkov get his hands on her. It's not happening."

"Alright. Know one thing. If they come for her, I'm not gonna fight to keep her here. I'm gonna let them take her." He slammed the door as he left.

"Orion I'm sorry." I sat on the couch.

"What are you sorry for? It's not your fault. You know how Ace is."

"I know which is why I'm sorry."

He sat next to me. "Nora I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now. Your whole life was just ripped away from you. And you didn't cry once."
