Mo's POV:

          "Wait, what?" I  asked in disbelief. "You wanna use me as bait?"

          "Absolutely not!" Joon Young growled out. "We're trying to lure him out not get them killed. And all for what, to rescue some kid we don't even know?"

          Narae stood up enraged. "That kid happens to be my son!" 

          "Well you have lied about everything else so far, so how do I know for certain that you're even telling the truth? One thing you're good at is seducing men to get what you want." I stared at my husband as he bared his heart for all to see. Grabbing his hand I squeezed it to let him know he wasn't in this alone.

          "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Piero slammed his hand on the table. "All of our families are at risk, so whatever offense you 3 have against one another squash it. This is bigger than your past. If you don't deal with it right now, there won't be a future for you."

          Leaning over in my chair I whispered to my husband. "He's right. You need to have a conversation with them that ends in forgiveness on all 3 sides. If not, this will tear at our family. We've just started healing..."

          Joon Young stood up in anger and left the room. I sighed tiredly and looked to Narae and Ji-hoon. "I am sorry, Monique." Narae whispered on the verge of tears.

          "I apologize as well." Ji-hoon confessed shocking me a bit. "I'll go and talk to him." I watched cautiously as he arose from his seat and followed after Joon Young. 

          An hour passed and I grew restless. Finally the men walked back into the room in happy spirits. I blew out of a breath of relief. Narae stood up next and I watched her wearily as she guided my husband out of the room. I had every intention of following them, but Joon Young shook his head.

          I silently mouthed a threat to my husband. "If you let her kiss you..." I made a jester with my finger, telling him I'll kill him and he gulped. Satisfied with how he responded I sat back down. 

          Everyone chuckled at the exchange, but I was being serious. Narae and Joon Young's talk took more time, which I didn't like. If it took any longer I was coming in there and raising hell. While they were away the girls and I had a talk. "To be completely honest with you, I don't like the idea of you going." Macy admitted.

          The others shook their heads in agreement. "Well I am more skilled in combat, but I see the flaws in Roman's plan. I am 5 months pregnant with a 3 years old and a husband. If I didn't have what I have now, then I wouldn't be so hesitant about it."

          "What would you do if it was your child?" Piero asked pulling up a chair and inserting himself in our conversation. "...because technically your children are involved anyhow. I do not like the idea any more than you do, but you are our only hope."

          "What about Narae?" Veronica voiced. 

          "Too risky..." Grayson said joining in. "If she shows up you all know that she will be killed on the spot. Her son would get executed next, and then the money trail would run dry."

          I groaned, seeing no other way out. "Take me there." I stood up and left with Grayson before Joon Young returned. Surely he'd talk me out of it. On the way to the spot Grayson filled me in on what to do as I secured the bulletproof vest and my weapons. "One last rodeo..." I whispered to myself.
