Vixen. My Vixen is a Consoli? What the fuck. What are the fucking chances of this happening?

I could see the pain across her face. She was grieving. No fucking shit she was. Her brother just died. A tight ball formed in my stomach and I felt sick.

FUCK.

I knew this was a possibility of happening. A small part of me wanted this so I could gain from it but now knowing it affected Vixen, made me feel guilty.

I was the reason her brother just died. I might have not pulled the trigger but, if it wasn't for me and my crisis, he wouldn't have gone to that meeting.

No, I wouldn't be in that situation if River didn't do something to piss off the Cartel family—causing them to go after Mia. I did this to save Mia. My flesh and blood. I will not feel guilty about saving her...for choosing her.

I watched Vixen jump into a blue mustang and race out off the lot. I haven't stopped thinking about her. She haunted my dreams and consumed my thoughts. But to see her here—looking defeated and hurt... haunted me more.

She was a mess. Her hair was tangled and crazed, her eyes were sunken in and red. Her arm was wrapped in gauze with a faint stain of red—was she shot? I thought to myself.

Why the fuck would River let her go with him when he knew how dangerous it was?

"Are you alright?" I look down at a sobbing Mia. She nods but I know she isn't anything but. She has been through hell these last few weeks, and she just saw the look of pure hatred from her best friend pointed at her.

"Ho-how i-ss, I-I jus-....Vixen." Mia whimpered between sobs.

"Shhhh, Mia, il sole è ok. (Sunshine it's ok) The main thing is you are safe. You are home and I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise." I looked at her swollen eyes and she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me tight. I never use her nickname anymore; my dad used to call her that. But I felt she needed it tonight.

"Thank you Val... Ive been so scared.... I...I thought I was going to die so many times." She whispers as she whimpers back into a sob.

My heart panged. I cringed and the thought of what they did to her. All I could do is hold her and smooth her hair. I wanted revenge on those mother fuckers. I wanted them to feel pain.

They had no right to attack her and use her. My blood boiled and I clenched my teeth. I needed to figure out a plan to get back at them.

"YOOO, what the fuck happened to the door?" Stefano walked towards us with two greasy bags of food. Looking at us, he stopped and widened his eyes. "You guys look like you've seen a ghost."

"Might as well have," I huffed out—spacing out about the events that just occurred.

Furrowed brows, Stefano looked confused as ever. I exhaled and explained what all just went down.

"Wow, you're telling me... Mia's best friend—smoking hot Vixen is actually River Consoli's little sister? And River Consoli is dead...?" he contemplated. "Weeell, FUCK. Who would have thought."

"She hates me...Vixen hates me...El-Elliot hates me." Mia whispered covering her face again crying.

"Mia..." Stefano started but stopped because how do you even answer that. He just wraps his arms around her, bringing her close to him.

"Shhh, it is okay." Mia silently sobbed in his arms while he soothes her hair. He looks up at me with a serious expression.

"What are we going to do if they decided to attempt this again?"

The thought crossed my mind. I just stared long and hard at my siblings. I promised to protect them and this business. I wasn't going to let anything get in the way of that.

But I couldn't help thinking about Vixen and how much I wanted her. Now that I knew she was in this life, I could have her, couldn't I? Didn't this change things? Didn't this mean we could be together? 

Then I remembered her brother, River. She would never forgive me. She would never forget what had happened to him. The look she gave me said it all. The look of pure hatred and revenge. That look was dangerous...she was dangerous.

I needed to focus on my family and their safety. I cleared my throat and simply stated, "then we kill them. We kill them all."
