OLIVIA'S POV:

"How the fuck did you know?"

I looked at Hector who was dialling a number into his phone. He shrugged his shoulders, putting the phone to his ear.

"I ran a very thorough check" he smirked, pulling up a chair next to me. I heard it ringing and prayed Mattia wouldn't pick up, but my luck had ran out.

MATTIA'S POV:

I looked at my phone and saw Hector's name. I should've blocked his number a long time ago. But I had a bad feeling he had something to do with Liv, so I picked up the call.

"What?" I said blankly, rolling my eyes when he started laughing.

"I'm good thank you, Mattia!" he chuckled in some kind of sinister tone "I'm actually here with your friend, I'm sure you know who"

My eyes widened a little when he put the phone next to Liv's ear. I knew it was her.

"Talk" he ordered. She stayed silent until I assume Hector kicked her. I heard a loud thud and Liv groaned in pain.

"Don't fucking touch her!" I yelled, standing up and grabbing my keys from the dresser.

"Oh? What'll you do? Come all the way here to rescue little Olivia?" he laughed. I pressed my lips together as Kairi and Alejandro followed me outside.

"Don't come here, Mattia!" Liv yelled, but before I could say anything else, Hector cut the call.

"Son of a bitch" I said, putting my phone in my pocket and reversing out the driveway.

"What the fuck happened?" asked Kairi from the backseat. I ran a hand through my hair, anxious about how I was meant to tell them any of what had happened.

"Uh, I met this girl, and I really like her, and Hector kidnapped her to get back at us for breaking into his warehouse" I said quickly.

"But I thought we couldn't have relationships" glared Alejandro. I laughed nervously, remembering all the times I'd stopped him from meeting a girl so we could train. We got to Hector's place soon enough, but I decided I didn't wanna sneak around. I walked up to the front door and knocked twice.

"What the fuck are you doing?" said Kairi, rushing over to me.

"I thought we were going in through the back" added Alejandro. I shook my head at them both.

"No, I'm not doing something that'll risk Hector getting mad. He won't hurt Liv if we provoke him like that" I said, causing Alejandro to raise his eyebrows.

"Liv? Cute name" he smirked. I rolled my eyes as we heard the key turn in the lock. The door opened and Mariano stood in front of us.

"Oh God" he said, face palming.

"What? We haven't even done anything yet" I said, walking past him. The boys followed me inside and I looked around the house.

"Where's Liv?" I asked. But just as I said her name, music started playing. And not just normal music, it was almost ominous. As if to scare us away, and it was so loud Kairi covered his ears as it drowned out my voice completely.

"Just follow the music" yelled Mar over the nose. I felt a shiver go down my spine as we made our way down a flight of stairs and into the basement. I opened a door and saw Liv straight away. Her hazel eyes filled up with tears when she saw me, and I saw how she'd been tied up, with duct tape plastering her mouth shut. I took a step forward, but felt Alejandro's hand grab my arm.

"Not till we know where Hector is" he said. And with perfect timing Hector came through a door, smiling widely at us.

"What the fuck?" I shouted. He rolled his eyes at me, turning the music down on his phone.

"What's the problem? I can't even play some music around here"

I clenched my jaw, desperate to reel my anger in so Liv wouldn't get hurt.

"Just let her go, Hector" I said calmly. He walked over to Liv, and without warning ripped off the duct tape. I watched as she winced in pain and lunged forward, my fist connecting with Hector's jawline.

"Oh my god, you could've at least warned me" he laughed, holding his jaw in one hand. With the other he reached inside his pocket and took out a gun, immediately pressing it against the side of Liv's head.

"Wait, no!" I put my hands up, and so did the boys. Kairi dropped his gun, Alejandro hadn't bought his.

"See, as much as I'd love to drive a bullet straight through Miss West's head" he said "I think there's something she needs to tell you first"

I looked at Liv, then back at Hector. I was becoming more and more confused by the second.

"What?" I glanced at Liv who had tears rolling down her cheeks, as she kept her eyes on the ground.

"Tell him or I will, your choice West" sneered Hector, nudging her with his gun. She sank into the chair, and I saw how red raw her wrist were becoming because of the ropes.

"Olivia?" I took a step forward and kneeled down to her level.

"You shouldn't have come" she cried. I reached up and wiped her tears away with my thumb.

"Just tell me Liv, it can't be that bad" I whispered, but that only set her off even more. She took a deep breath and avoided eye contact with me.

"I'm not who you think I am"
