Kayla Rivers knew what she wanted to do with her life. She had everything planned out. She was going to be taking over her mother's resturant soon. Yes she still missed her dad, but art always made her feel a little bit closer to him. Everything was...
"You're the idiot; you actually believed that was your dress. You better be happy Rafe didn't see you in that." Taylor said as she unzipped the bag.
"He is already in big brother mode and we've known him for 5 minutes. Rafe is a pain in the ass."
I love you too sister dear, why- What the fuck are you wearing? Is that a baby blanket with bobby pins!?!" He asked incredulously.
"No idiot, this is the dress that these two schemers told me I was wearing tonight."
I walked into the bathroom and took the dress off. I grabbed the robe of the door and put it on.
"Are you sure that wasn't a baby blanket?" Rafe asked once more.
I held it out for him to see it. He took it from my hands and ripped it down the middle.
"Perfect, now I don't have to see any of you in that."
He turned and walked out the door as we all sat in astonishment.
When the surprise finally wore off, Taylor ran after him to avenge her dress. Niyah began pulling my dress out of the bag, and it left us both speechless.

Niyah screamed, "Try it on."
I grabbed the dress and Niyah helped me put it on. It was beautiful.
"Bitch, I'm jealous. Can you not fuck in this dress so I can get a turn to wear it?" Niyah asked in all seriousness?
"Nope, me and Anthony fucking in this dress as soon as we get in the car. Rafe better find another ride there."
"Is that right?" Anthony asked as my face began to turn red. "I guess you can decide this time, but next time you can't complain."
Oh get out, you're making her blush. I need to do her makeup." Niyah laughed as she pushed him out.
"You have to admit that was hilarious," she said with an evil grin.
"You knew he was there?"
"Sure did babes. Payback is a bitch." She pulled to the vanity and began her work.
******Time Lapse******
We were now ready to go. It felt like butterflies were taking flight in my stomach. All of my false bravado had worn off, and I was nervous as hell.
"Relax K-Bear, I promised Niyah that I wouldn't ruin that dress. Also, Rafe didn't want to understand what we wanted to be alone." Anthony said as he smirked at me in the mirror.
"Do I even want to know?" Rafe asked.
"No," I said quickly, while Anthony just laughed. I missed this side of him.
We put the address from the letter into the GPS, and soon we were pulling up to a luxurious mansion with a party in full swing.
"Kayla, just stick with me. I promise I will keep you safe." He grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles.
"Don't pull any of your stunts. Listen to these men. You're my little sister that I'm just finding out that I had. We have a lot of catching up to do and I love you, even though you're a pain in the ass sometimes."
"Fuck off Rafe, I love you too." He had to be sp mushy all the time. Who would have ever thought this boy was involved in the mafia?
We stepped out of the car, and Rafe began speaking into the coms.
"Spread out, but keep an eye on Ruby."
Apparently Ruby was my code name.
"Do not let her out of your sight. This is a clean-cut mission. Go in, get the boy, and get out. Everyone knows what to do if things go south. Omertá."
All the men disbursed and I was left with Rafe, Anthony, and Leah. Leah is part of Anthony's team; she's supposed to stick with me when the guys can't. They took every precaution to make sure that I would remain safe. I have trackers, just about everywhere. I even have some embedded in the design of the dress.
We walk through the entrance and the party is in full swing. Leah leads me to the middle of the dance floor with Rafe and Anthony right by our side. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot a young boy. He is holding hands with the one and only Pierre D'Mayo.
His eyes lock with mines as a grin spreads across his face. He turns his head and motions towards one of his me.
"Anthony, I see him," I said right before the shots rang out.
Leah grabbed me and began to follow the crowd. Anthony made his way towards D'Mayo, and Rafe followed closely after us.
Suddenly the scream of a child pierced the air. I turned around to see Anthony frozen as D'Mayo raised his gun to Ace's head.
"We have to go back," I said as I pulled against Leah and Rafe.
"We can't risk them getting you, Kayla." Rafe pleaded with me.
"I will not be the reason that Anthony loses the only family he has left."
"So instead you will make me lose my little sister, whom I have just met?" I could tell he was pissed, but this was how it had to be.
"Please Rafe, this is how it has to be. Ace is just a kid. He has lost so much already. I refuse to be the reason he loses his life."
Rafe closed his eyes and slid his hand down his face. That was all I needed. I took a deep breath and made my move.
"I'm sorry," I said right before I twisted Leah's arm. Using the momentum from the twist, I flipped her. Once I was free, I ran in Anthony's direction. Rafe was coming after me, but he wasn't close enough to grab me. Anthony heard the commotion, and he turned around.
It was as if he read my mind. His eyes widened and he came towards me.
"No!" I screamed and pulled out my knife. I threw it towards Anthony and it pinned him to the column next to him. I made my way past him right up to D'Mayo.
"Hi there," I said with my own brand of attitude. "I heard you been looking for me.
