So much fucking pain.

Everything was broken. Everything screamed. It was the kind of agony that made you wish for death.

But it was nothing compared to watching Siena take my place.

That was the most painful thing I’d ever had to do.

To watch her hand herself over to that asshole so I could go free.

I would rather die a million times.

But there was nothing I could do. I fought the guards until they threw me on the sidewalk and my men carried me away.

Now I was at my estate, barely able to stand as I stepped into my home.

“Mr. Marino?” Giovanni caught me before I slammed into the ground. “What are you doing here? We need to get you to a hospital.”

“Martina? Where is she?”

“She’s in the kitchen, perfectly safe.”

I’d already lost one of my girls. I wasn’t going to lose another. “Siena took my place…I have to get her back.” I slowly slid to the floor, too weak to even hold myself up.

“Sir.” Giovanni used his strength to guide me carefully to the floor. “We have to get you to get you to a hospital.”

“Siena!”

“Sir, if you die, who will take care of Martina?”

All I cared about was saving Siena, even if it killed me. But I forgot about the person who mattered more, the person I swore to protect above all else. If I died, she would be alone.

“You need to go to the hospital, Mr. Marino.”

“I…” I could barely think, I was so weak.

The door burst open, and Bates walked inside. “Cato! Shit.” He leaned down and looked at me. “Jesus Christ, you look dead.”

“Siena…” I tried to get up again, but I couldn’t.

“She’s right here,” Bates said. “She’s right here.”

“What?” I asked, barely keeping my eyes open.

“Oh my god…” Her voice resonated in my ears, so beautiful it seemed unreal. “Cato…” She moved over me and cupped my face. “You need to get to a hospital. Now.”

“Siena?” I grabbed her wrist, wanting to feel her pulse, wanting to feel that she was real. “You’re here.”

“Yes, I’m here. I got away.”

I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it. “Thank god.” My breathing turned deeper and heavier as I became weaker. I’d never felt this weak in my life, never felt so powerless. Somehow, Siena managed to get us both out of there without my help.

“Bates, we have to get him to a hospital,” Siena said. “He’s barely holding on.”

“We’ll take the chopper,” Bates said. “We can all fit.”

“What about Martina?” she asked. “Can we put a car seat in there?”

“I don’t fucking know,” Bates hissed. “But Damien’s men are only a few minutes behind us. That chopper is our only chance to get out of here.” He turned back to me. “I know it hurts, Cato. But you have to walk to the chopper. I’ll get you to the hospital as soon as I can, but we need to hurry.”

I knew it would be painful, but I had to keep moving. I had to get Siena and Martina out of there.
