It all started when my brother and I lost our parents, it was sudden, and the news devastated us. We were young and lost, trying to find something to hold onto. Our lives had just changed drastically, and we were in for even more surprises. My older brother, Lucas, was sixteen at the time, and I Leila, fourteen. Our parents left us without a warning... And that's when we learned that our father was second-in-command to lead the Reds, a powerful gang in California. 
When the boss heard about our parents' deaths, he sent his son and two other guys to protect us from their enemies, just in case.
That's when everything changed...

After everything we've been through, I'm grateful to have met them, they're like my guardian angels... Or maybe my dark angels? Anyway, right now they're living with us, and my brother and I work with them for the gang. I never thought this would be the life I'd be living, but life loves to surprise us when we least expect it.

I'm now 20 years old, it's been 6 years since I've known them and I wouldn't change a thing about my relationship with each one of them. We've been living in California for 2 years, and my best friend Emma, who's been there for me through it all, followed us to continue her studies. Her parents didn't care, they'd never been present for her and didn't support her in any of her decisions. So, she found an apartment close to us, and she couldn't be happier to get away and have her freedom.

Marcus, the big boss, is expecting changes from the gang, and from me this year... Things are going to shift, and not for the better. Foolish of me to think I would stay safe this whole time.

Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."

I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath.

"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me.
