Erin's POV:

I was walking out of the hell hole called my job until my bitch of a boss called out for me.

"Erin Jade get your ass over here!" My boss yelled from across the hall. And to think, I could've went one day without her shit. I swear she is the most sluttiest person in New York. I forced myself to her office.

I walked in and I saw one of her many boyfriends standing at her desk buttoning up his shirt. They probably just had sex I think. I glare at the man whore standing next to the desk in her huge office and he gives me a smirk. My boss looks at him and then looks at me and out of nowhere I feel a sharp sting on my cheek. This bitch just slapped me.

"Bitch I know you didn't just slap me!" I yell while pushing my black wavy curls behind my ears. This slut really about to get what's coming for her. I roll the sleeves of my dress shirt up and I kick my heels to the corner. I don't care if I get fired at this point.

The slap she gave me was nothing compared the shit I have to deal with at home with my dad but hell I can fight back with this whore. I don't even need the job I just wanted to get away from home for a little.

I threw my fist at her face and she stumbled back. She tried swinging her leg at me in attempt to kick me but I dodged. I threw her to the ground and started to beat the shit out of her. I threw a few punches and kicks until someone carried me off. I struggled to get out of the grasp, of what I'm guessing is the man whore, but he carries me out of the office.

I catch a glimpse of my boss and see her bloody features, her nose is for sure broken and I think I knocked her out.

"What the hell did you think when you beat the shit out of her, huh?" The man whore asks when I'm outside of the building.

"I was thinking of ways to break every bone in her body. No one fucking touches me, especially that bitch." He finally lets me go and I walk down the street, I hate using my father's cars. Yeah sure he is one of the biggest Mafia kings in America but not the best. But no one dares to remind him of that. I continued walking through the city passing by Central Park and a coffee shop.

I wasn't paying much attention to anything I just held my head low. When I looked up I realized that it was already past dark. Shit I'm gonna get a beating now. My father is strict but my family told me that every 16 year old gets a beating now and then so it's normal.

I started walking faster but not running. I heard shouts and a gun fire. Shit. I ran towards the sound to see if anyone was hurt. I saw a man in a kabuki mask and he was pointing a gun at some boy the same age I am with brown hair and green eyes that shine even in the darkest of nights.

I looked at the guy with the mask and I looked at his hand. I've trained with people, guns, and multiple weapons, perks of being in a Mafia. His hand tensed up and his thumb slightly moved, he was about to shoot.

I did the first thing that came to mind. My life is filled with nothing but beatings, I'd give my life for an innocent one any day, and that day has came. I ran towards the man on the ground pushed him out of the way and for a split second I saw a look of surprise in his eyes. I pushed him to the side knowing I won't have a chance of getting the upper hand with the gun guy.

The man I pushed stared at my baffled I mouthed, 'Run' and I kicked the gun out of the gun guy's hand. He managed to gain control of the gun once again and he shot me with no second thoughts. I fell to the ground feeling a pain in my stomach and my vision was getting filled with black spots. I heard one last gun shot and I assume the guy I tried got shot, well my life and his went to shit.

Hunter's POV:

I now remember that I never paid this guy. Well he's working for the Mafia and he's a traitor he really thinks he's getting paid. How stupid is he. He pulled a gun out and I already had a plan.

I scrambled back and hoping he'd be surprised by this action and he'd stop for two seconds. Two seconds is all I need. I was correct and I reached for my gun. I was about ready to take it out and shoot him but out of nowhere I'm being pushed to the gutter in the alley we are in.

I look up and was ready to shoot whoever pushed me. I saw a girl around the age I am, 16. She mouthed, 'Run.' and I was confused. She quickly snapped around and I saw she kicked the gun out of his hands, but not far enough. He got the gun once more and shot the girl in the stomach. She fell to the ground and she looks oddly familiar. I pulled my gun from my waistband and shot the man. I ran to the girl who was unconscious but still alive.

I carried her bridal style and she looks so familiar. I carried her to my car and rushed to my Mafia House. I rushed in and carried her to the infirmary we have in the house. We use this for any injuries that can't be explained to police, which is almost every injury.

"Get your asses in here!" I yelled to the whole house. Within seconds every man I have in the house was in the room. I ordered two of my men to get rid of the body at the alley.

"She was shot in the stomach." I said to Lucas and Levi, the twins who are the only ones in the house with a degree to be a doctor or a degree at all.

"What the fuck man! Why'd you bring her here. She's a Jade you idiot, the Jade clan, the Jade Mafia, also residents in New York." Levi said. That's why she's familiar. She's the daughter of Stefano Jade.

Lucas and Levi are better than normal doctors in my opinion. Once Lucas preformed surgery on himself when he got shot and Levi was in Italy.

"I'l explain later. Help her! Now!" I demanded.

It's been a couple of hours since I left her with the twins. I couldn't help but wonder, 'Why was she willing to die to help me.' She didn't even know who she was saving, or attempting to save, but she did it anyway. She helped me knowing she was probably going to die. She was...

"We're done. She'll be fine and awake in an hour or so. Now will you tell us what happened?" The whole house gathered next to me in the living room.

"Remember the other Lucas, the one who was spilling secrets. Apparently he's not dead. He somehow managed to get out of the cell and he somehow found me. He threatened me and told me I owe him money. I was fine and I had a plan. I was about to shoot him when the girl in there pushed me out of the way. She told me to run and she tried her best to fight the other Lucas off. She was successful but we both knew that she wouldn't make it out of the alley without getting shot. She eventually did get shot and I killed Lucas. I brought her here. I couldn't let her die. She knew she would most likely die, but she saved me. She didn't care. I had no idea she was a Jade."

"Wow." The guys said in unison. We kept talking but we heard sudden screaming from the infirmary. She's up. We rushed to the infirmary but Levi, Lucas, and I are the only ones aloud in because she might get scared by what was going on.

"You! I thought you died. I thought I died. I'm sorry I should've done something smarter. I'm glad your'e alive though. Wait how are we alive? And where am I? Can someone explain please?"

"Erin, I'm Hunter Carson. This is Lucas and Levi Gardner. They surgically removed the bullet and that's how you are alive. I never got shot, I shot the guy with the gun. You are in the infirmary at my Mafia house. And yes we know your'e the daughter of a Mafia Boss."

"I need to get home. My dad.... my dad he's gonna kill me. Please help me get home. I promise I won't reveal identities, I won't say where this house is. Please get me home. My father is gonna be really mad. I can't take another beating. Please not today." She rambled.

"Wait he beats you?" I asked shocked. I didn't know Mafia bosses still did that.

"Y-Yeah. Why? I thought everyone gets a beating now and then. Please help me get home." She pleaded. I was still shocked, this beautiful girl get's beat by her father. Now I need to save her like she saved me. I'll come up with something but right now I need to get her home.
