Narrator's POV
Becky had hired some men and her mother to pull off a daring stunt, she knew that the first person Seth would go to for help was her mother, the only other living link to Damon he knew of, so her mother was supposed to give Seth a location where instead of finding Damon he'd be 'abducted' by her men who would bring him over to Becky's house basement where he'd think he's kidnapped.

She intended to keep him there for his own safety,at least until she dealt with the threat... Damon, because she'd rather loose her life fighting Damon than live knowing Seth died fighting her battles for her... just like her brother.

Becky paces up and down her leaving room, raking her fingers through her her in panic.

Becky's POV

He's supposed to be here by now, they should've brought him over, what's keeping them so long? I don't think this was a wise decision

I pick up my phone and dial Anne's number but she doesn't pick, I dial it up to ten times and when she doesn't pick I know something's wrong.

How could I do this? With the one person I trust the least in the world and that says a lot.

Anne was supposed to send Seth over to the men that I hired, stationed at the highway but for some reason they've not brought him back.

"It might be the traffic" I think, trying to convince myself that nothing is wrong despite the growing dread within me, so I decide to wait a little longer before taking action.

After thirty minutes of waiting I'm convinced that something is really wrong, I dial the number of the lead
' Hitman' and he tells me that Seth never even got there, I smell a rat and it sure does stink.

Charlotte's POV

As usual I'm sitting a lone, in the garden, since the incident the only way I get the least bit of peace is buy staying here, the smell of watered soil and grasses, the beauty of the flowers and what each of them represent... it all gives me so much peace.

I'm not alone for too long though, my annoying savior walks into the garden, this guy is just... something.

" Mami,why are you always sitting alone?" He asks in a genuinely concerned voice which I would've appreciated if he wasn't... well... him.

He without invite sits beside me on the bench and I roll my eyes at his mannerlessness... what else would I expect from a gangster?

"What do you want?" I ask coldly, he just shrugs and looks at me, " I don't want you to be sad" he says genuinely.

" Why do you even care? " I ask, not believing a word he says.

" Honestly... I don't know, I've seen a lot worse, done a lot worse but something about seeing you like this makes me feel something I've never felt before... Like something being squeezed inside me" he says, confused about his own emotions.

" I'm not buying any of this shit, and I'd this is your way of trying to get into my pants it's not going to work, I assure you that" I tell him matter of factly before storming out of the garden.

Seth's POV

I'm patiently waiting in the parking lot of the hotel Anne directed me to, I don't know why but I feel like something is wrong, that something bad is about to happen.

All that's stopping me from zooming out of here is the thought of Becky, but I just can't shake off this feeling of dread.

I receive a simple text from an unknown number which makes me question even coming here....

Chris's POV

For the past few days I've been trying unsuccessfully to get Becky off my mind, but I just can't wave off the feeling of guilt whenever I remember her battered face.

The final time I saw her, I knew I was getting myself into trouble, when she smiled at me... I felt something inside me crack wide open, something that I tried so hard to keep locked away... The ability to love.

All I've ever cared about is making more money... Any means necessary and being there for my brother because he's done so much for me.

But she makes me want so much more than that, she's the first person that has ever made me feel guilty and I haven't even committed murder...yet, that says a lot.

What if.... No, I can't... That'll be the worst decisions I'll ever make... Or will it?
