15.

Taylor hated the way she shook, the look on George’s face, that Ian had a front row seat, all of it. She’d never wanted to tell George the truth. There was no point in it. Nothing to gain. He barely cared for Stacey. Her? He’d see as a threat.

She’d never had a father to idolize, to treat her like his little princess. Growing up, she’d often envied other girl’s relationships with their fathers. How they could trust them, love them, rely on them. Taylor had never had that.

The only person she’d been able to lean on, without fail, was herself.

Dad put Cosa Nosta first.

Mom had an agenda that came before everything.

George was from the same stock. There was nothing in his behavior up to this moment that told her he would do anything but throw her out.

Poor Stacey.

This was the life she’d grow up in, if not into.

Taylor wished she could take her sister with her, that there was something she could do for the little girl, but Taylor could barely take care of herself.

But...maybe she was wrong? She had to try.

George took a step toward her. He was looking at her with death in his eyes. He didn’t know what she’d done, but he was smart enough to see what Cat saw.

It’d only been a matter of time.

Taylor should have left after the first threats, but she’d wanted to be with Stacey. The one bit of family she had left.

“That’s enough,” Ian said. “It’s been a long day.”

“You back out of this,” George growled. “I hired you.”

“Yeah, and now my contract is over. Taylor? Come on.” Ian held out his hand.

If he had any sense at all, he’d push her away. He’d run from her. But he just kept nosing deeper. Soon enough he’d leave her too.

They all did.

Anyone she let close eventually left.

And here she was...leaving Stacey.

Taylor blinked back bitter tears.

“You’re fired, Taylor. Don’t come back here, either of you. Worthless piece of shit.”

Yeah, she’d seen that one coming a mile away.

Taylor swiped at her cheeks and tried to hold it together. She’d weathered worse, but damn, wasn’t it time she caught a break?

“Come on.” Ian wrapped his arm around her waist, ushering her away from George. “Turns out a couple guys I know are here. I didn’t drive my truck here, seein’ as there wasn’t a place to keep it, but Kade’ll give us a ride out.”

Taylor nodded.

George wouldn’t pay her.

She was short the cash she needed to run.

Everything she still owned was likely gone in that blaze.

So, what did she do now?

“Hey. Hey? Look at me?” Ian cupped her face, his gaze searching hers. “Don’t lose hope now. It’s always darkest before the morn’.”

“You don’t understand.”

“’Cuz you haven’t told me everythin’. You’re the daughter of some sort of mafia don, you’re in trouble, but everythin’ I’ve found on you, tells me you’re a good person. So, what does a good person have to fear from bad people? Hm?”

She swallowed.

If she could go back, would she do
